Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Want Some Liveliness? That’s Easy!

After a good while, Gu Mo finally took out the item and handed it to Yu Nuannuan.

Yu Nuannuan looked at the milky-white little stone, not quite sure what to say.

This was… the third stone Gu Mo had given her, right?

Seeing that Yu Nuannuan wasn’t taking it, Gu Mo simply scooted closer and slipped the little stone into her pocket.

“Nuannuan,” Gu Mo pursed his lips.

Yu Nuannuan looked up at him. “Huh?”

“You have to give it back to me later,” Gu Mo said seriously.

Yu Nuannuan: “???”

Give it back?

Why did he give her something and then act so righteously about asking for it back?

She shot Gu Mo a glare and reached into her pocket.

Fine, if he wanted it back, she’d just give it back!

As Yu Nuannuan fumbled for the stone, Gu Mo leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “You still owe me fruit. You have to pay me back later.”

If Qin Yuelan weren’t here right now, he wouldn’t have to wait until later for Yu Nuannuan to pay him back!

Thinking this, Gu Mo’s eyes drooped, looking utterly aggrieved.

Yu Nuannuan, on the other hand, was stunned.

So… Gu Mo just wanted to eat fruit?

Was the stone meant to buy fruit?

Once she understood what he meant, Yu Nuannuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Gu Mo kept saying he had memories from his past life, but why did she feel like he really didn’t?

He was supposed to be an adult—no matter how small his body was, he should be mature, just like her!

Yu Nuannuan pulled her hand out of her pocket and patted Gu Mo’s small shoulder. “Alright!”

It was just fruit—she thought it was something serious!

As long as he stuck with her, he’d never have to worry about fruit for the rest of his life!

The first day of the new year was for visiting neighbors. Starting from the second day, it was time to visit relatives and friends.

Normally, the second day was for visiting the maternal grandparents, but early that morning, it started snowing heavily again. It was freezing outside, so when Chen Qiaoqin and Yu Hai went to her mother’s house, they couldn’t take Yu Nuannuan with them.

Yu Nuannuan was a little disappointed she couldn’t go to her grandmother’s, but she didn’t mind too much.

There’s always next year!

Aside from Yu Nuannuan, the six older Yu brothers all went to their maternal grandmother’s with their parents.

So, the only ones left at the Yu house were Yu Nuannuan, Xu Shuhua, and Yu Zhenmin.

Xu Shuhua, who was usually upbeat, sighed a few times. “Everyone else’s house is bustling on the second day of the new year, but ours is so quiet.”

Things were a bit better these past two years. Before Yu Nuannuan was born, on the second day of the new year, it was just Xu Shuhua and Yu Zhenmin at home. Now that was truly lonely.

Yu Zhenmin was fiddling with his old tobacco pipe. Hearing Xu Shuhua’s words, he replied casually, “When Nuannuan grows up and gets married, our house will be lively on the second day.”

Xu Shuhua shot him a sharp look. “Married? What do you mean married? Nuannuan’s still so young and you’re already thinking about her getting married?”

After Xu Shuhua’s triple retort, Yu Zhenmin was left speechless.

It took him a while before he managed to say, “But you’re the one who said our house is too quiet on the second day…”

Besides, he was just telling the truth!

But would Xu Shuhua listen?

Of course not!

Not only did she not listen, she glared at Yu Zhenmin again. “Nuannuan alone is worth a dozen others—who needs anyone else? Isn’t this lively enough? Right, Nuannuan?”

Yu Nuannuan met Xu Shuhua’s gaze and nodded.

Want some liveliness?

That’s easy!

Yu Nuannuan wriggled out of Xu Shuhua’s arms, crawled onto the bed, and started scooting forward.

Xu Shuhua and Yu Zhenmin looked at her in confusion. “Nuannuan, what are you doing?”
