When Gu Muxue saw Xue Rui approaching, she had planned to ignore him.
But Xue Rui was holding up a flattened tanghulu, his forehead glistening with sweat.
'Did he just climb the wall to go out and buy another one?'
A sudden pang of sympathy for Xue Rui hit her. 'Have I been a little too stubborn?'
Seeing how tired he looked, she pulled out a tissue and handed it to him, taking the tanghulu from his other hand.
"Hee hee." Gu Muxue beamed.
She instantly forgot the "firm" resolution she'd just made to ignore him for the next two periods.
She took a bite and felt something was off. It didn't taste quite like usual.
Gu Muxue tilted her head, scrutinizing the candied hawthorns. After a moment, she noticed what was wrong.
She asked, "Where are the sesame seeds?"
The regular round ones didn't have many sesame seeds.
But the flattened ones were usually coated in them, which gave them a different flavor.
"Oh, I licked them off," Xue Rui said with a grin.
