章節 677: Very Shocked

In the midst of a lively conversation, Gu Zi and Aunt Gao were interrupted by the bustling arrival of the young Gao Ming. He dashed towards them, nearly colliding with the corner of the table, but fearlessly continued on his mission. With an excited tone, he thrust something into his grandmother's hands, "Grandma, grandma, you must try this cold dessert, it's absolutely delicious!"

Aunt Gao was about to reprimand her grandson for his lack of decorum, but the sight of the chilled treat held at her lips gave her pause. A faint aroma of coconut and milk wafted from it, and she found herself unable to resist taking a bite, momentarily forgetting her intention to scold the boy.

The dessert was round and glutinous, coated in white coconut shavings. She had expected it to be overly sweet, and had already prepared a cup of tea to balance the sweetness. After all, a dessert's flavor could be greatly diminished without a proper counterbalance.
