Hua Youlin was led to walk step by step by Gu Xiqiao, the warmth their joined hands gradually thawed the ice that had built up in his heart, calming him down.
It was like there was nothing to fear, as long as she was there with him.
And she didn't ask him anything, not a single word.
Hua Youlin couldn't help but tighten the grip he had on her hand.
Gu Xiqiao spared him a glance, and then realized something. This child really must be a tsundere.
There was a courtyard in front for them, and Yao Jiamu was already waiting for them the moment he got word that Gu Xiqiao had arrived. He grinned when she appeared in his line of sight, waving. "Boss Bai is waiting in the back room, go on ahead!"
Although he had recognized Boss Bai as his godfather, he was still calling him 'Boss Bai' all day long, not changing the way he addressed him at all.
