235: One Each

One Each

Looking at Jian Yichen's complicated expression of 'a gentleman does not take what others like' and 'one must be willing to part with his love,' Jian Ai could not help but laugh. Then, she pointed at her plate and said, "I have one here. Let's each have one!"1

It was just a piece of durian pastry. She would not go so far as to snatch it from a child, although she was only fourteen years old.

Jian Yichen looked at Jian Ai for a while before glancing at the durian pastry. In the end, he pursed his lips and probed, "Then… shall we each have one?"

Jian Ai nodded with certainty. "One each."

A childish smile finally appeared on Jian Yichen's arrogant face. He quickly reached out to put the durian pastry on his plate before turning around and running away.

Jian Ai looked at the boy's back and smiled as she shook her head.

…

"Eh, why are you eating durian so early in the morning…"

Jian Yiyi saw that her brother had taken a durian pastry and frowned with disdain.

Jian Yichen glared at her unhappily and said, "This is a durian pastry. It's not fresh durian meat."

"It stinks too!" Jian Yiyi pinched her nose and exaggerated her displeasure.

It was strange. Her brother and father liked to eat durians, but she could not accept it at all. She even feels nauseated at the smell of durians.

"How weak." Jian Yichen pouted. Although he had said that, he knew that his sister could not stand the smell of durians.

He immediately picked up the durian pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it quickly.

"Will this do?!" Jian Yichen said.

As long as he didn't bite it open, the smell wouldn't float out.

Jian Yiyi smiled in satisfaction and chuckled at Jian Yichen. "How obedient."

Jian Yichen took a sip of milk and said, "Why aren't Dad and Mom down yet?"

Jian Yiyi was eating fruits. She shrugged indifferently. "Ignore them. Let's eat."

…

The restaurant was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows on all sides. Since it was located on the top floor of the hotel, the beautiful Macau cityscape could be seen.

After eating and drinking her fill, Jian Ai stretched. The morning sun shone down and made people feel warm. Looking at Macau's scenery, Jian Ai couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so good!"

Bai Zhou gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and looked up at Jian Ai. "Where do you want to go to play today?"

Jian Ai turned around and looked at Yao Jiachi, who was still eating. She smiled and asked, "Jiachi, shall we go to the beach?"

After stuffing his mouth with food, Yao Jiachi nodded with bright eyes and replied with his nose. "Yes, yes."

Due to its geographical location, Macau maintained a temperature of over twenty degrees Celsius. Baiyun City had just warmed up in May, but Macau was already at thirty degrees Celsius.

The famous Macau Bay was not far from the hotel and they could reach there after walking for less than ten minutes. They changed into summer slippers and walked towards Macau Bay Beach.

Tropical coconut trees were growing on both sides of the road. A few of them walked on the road and enjoyed the sea breeze. It was very satisfying.

Because this was the first time Yao Jiachi had seen the sea, he was extremely excited. The dispirited attitude he had in the morning was also gone. He craned his neck and looked around.

Jian Ai had been to Hong Kong a few times in her previous life, but this was her first time in Macau. Although her main goal in coming to Macau was to fish for gold, it was still a holiday.

A holiday should be like a holiday. Furthermore, she had Jiachi with her. Naturally, she would have to take advantage of her busy schedule and have fun in Macau. Before they left, she would shop properly so that this trip would not be in vain.
