Chapter 181: A Small Gathering
"Gu Tingyu, how did you get here?"
Seeing Gu Tingyu appear here, Yiyi was full of surprise.
"I happened to be around, so I thought I’d drop by to see you." Gu Tingyu looked at Yiyi with a smile in his eyes, "I went to the pharmacy and your house but didn’t see you, so I came over here. You sure are here."
Hearing Gu Tingyu say this, Yiyi was a bit surprised, not expecting that he had looked for her around, so she quickly said, "Then let’s find a place to sit down and have a good chat."
They hadn’t seen each other for almost three months since their last meeting, so Yiyi had a lot to say.
Fei Erya was very perceptive, and seeing that it was rare for the two to meet, she quickly said, "Yiyi, you spend some time talking with Brother Gu, I’ll head home first."
Having been away from home for more than a week, she wanted to go back and take a look.
Yiyi nodded at the words and said, "Alright, but Erya, you must come back tonight, we’re going out to buy things early tomorrow morning."
Fei Erya smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After Fei Erya left, Gu Tingyu curiously asked, "What are you planning to buy? Why don’t we go now?"
"No need, tomorrow Erya and I will buy together. We’re planning a trip to the island, so we need to buy some things we will use, and Erya and I are planning to pick things carefully."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu didn’t say much more, but he was still worried about the safety of the two girls, "Are you going by yourselves?"
"Don’t worry, Master Guo will be with us."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyu was completely relieved.
Guo Ming’s skills are profound and unpredictable, with him around, there would definitely be no problem.
As they walked and chatted, they slowly moved forward, and turning his head, Gu Tingyu saw the jade bracelet on Yiyi’s wrist, his eyes softened with a smile.
"Yiyi, were you satisfied with the gift last time? Did it bring you any luck? How did you do on the college entrance exams?"
Speaking of the gift, Yiyi cast a helpless glance at him and said, "I really like it, but it’s too expensive. As for the exam, the results aren’t out yet, so I’m not sure about the score, but it should be okay."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu smiled and said, "As long as you like it. Moreover, this bracelet recognizes people, it’s fate that you encounter it, so you should always wear it."
"Gu Tingyu, this bracelet is indeed too precious. I originally thought it was just an ordinary bracelet, but it turns out to be full green glass type, apparently a top quality, so you quickly tell me how to take it off."
Gu Tingyu admired the beautiful scene of Yiyi’s slender, fair wrist and the jade bracelet complementing each other, finally saying directly, "As long as you can wear it, it can’t be taken off."
"Really? Is there no other way to take it off? I tried using soap water before, but it didn’t work." Yiyi was a bit distressed.
But Gu Tingyu couldn’t help feeling happy.
Unexpectedly, what grandma told him was true, this bracelet really could only be worn for a lifetime when meeting someone destined.
Just thinking that Yiyi would wear the bracelet he gave for a lifetime made him feel overjoyed, "This bracelet really suits you, just wear it. Moreover, it’s not that expensive, I didn’t even spend money on it."
"Really?"
Yiyi looked at Gu Tingyu doubtfully.
Gu Tingyu hastily vowed, "Really, I didn’t spend a penny, so just wear it."
Seeing the seriousness in Gu Tingyu’s eyes, Yiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, so accepting the bracelet didn’t feel like such a burden.
"Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, I want to take you to a place." Gu Tingyu laughed and pulled Yiyi, running forward.
Yiyi, pulled along to a light jog, couldn’t help but laugh, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
But upon reaching the place Gu Tingyu mentioned, Yiyi couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow... It’s so beautiful, I didn’t know we had such a beautiful beach here."
"I discovered this place by accident when I was on a mission, isn’t it beautiful?"
"Yes, it’s really beautiful." Yiyi hadn’t expected such a place to exist here.
Houshan Town is a small fishing port, usually with mudflats, and nearby seawater isn’t intensely blue. Having a beach like this with fine white sand is indeed rare.
"I’m glad you like this, just wait a bit."
Saying this, Gu Tingyu ran back quickly, and when he returned, he had brought quite a few tools.
Seeing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, "Where did all these things come from?"
"I prepared in advance, later, when the sun is setting, we can have a barbecue by the sea, it should be delightful." As Gu Tingyu spoke, he took out the ingredients he had prepared.
Seeing how well-prepared Gu Tingyu was, Yiyi felt a bit touched, "I didn’t expect you to prepare so much in such a short time."
"As long as you like it."
Actually, he had thought about this for a long time. Ever since knowing he had a mission nearby, he had been planning to take the opportunity to meet the little girl, but the time was really too short this time, with only half a day available, so this was all he could do.
Yiyi wasn’t idle either, immediately stepping forward to help, and once they had everything ready, they didn’t rush to start the barbecue since it was still early.
"Yiyi, let’s go for a walk over there, maybe we’ll even find some shells on the beach."
"Sure."
They walked hand in hand toward the sea.
The weather was still quite hot, so Yiyi walked barefoot on the sand, and Gu Tingyu also took off his shoes and socks, and they walked step by step, treading on the waves and sand.
"There are really shells."
Not far along, Gu Tingyu picked up quite a few shells, and Yiyi wasn’t idle either, eventually running back to get a container to store the shells.
They were lucky and even found some whelks.
"I’ll put these things away; later we can grill them along."
Yiyi nodded at the words and smiled as she watched Gu Tingyu put things away, then the two of them slowly walked along the waves again.
Seeing Gu Tingyu walking beside her, Yiyi bit her lip and hesitated for a while, but ultimately reached out and held Gu Tingyu’s hand.
Feeling the warmth in his hand, Gu Tingyu’s body stiffened for a moment, he really hadn’t expected the little girl to do this.
But at this moment, he felt very happy inside, and seeing the little girl looking somewhat nervous, his smile grew larger.
It turns out the little girl wasn’t as bold as she seemed.
Thinking of this, Gu Tingyu squeezed Yiyi’s hand tightly, "Yiyi, let’s go ahead a bit more, I think I saw some crabs," he said, pulling her to run happily.
