"Is this an apple or an apple core?" Lou Taoxin pointed at the bumpy apple with only a little bit of meat left in Gu Shumo's hand, his hands shaking constantly.
"Oh my god, Daddy, are you peeling or pulping the apple? Let Mommy eat this alone." Gu Nianqing shook her head and sighed inwardly, how could she hug her daddy just because of his confident expression?
What about high expectations?
Gu Shumo looked at Lou Ruqing awkwardly.
Lou Ruqing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Although a lot was wasted, it can still be eaten." After saying that, it went to take the apple from Gu Shumo's hand.
Gu Shumo suddenly took back his hand, threw the apple into the trash can and said, "Forget it, I'll peel another one." After that, he took out another intact apple from the plate and started peeling it.
This time, he cut more carefully.
However, his unskilled hands were inevitably pricked. But he just carefully covered the wound and continued, secretly swearing in his heart that he would peel a beautiful apple for Ru Qing.
Lou Ruqing sighed: "It doesn't have to be like this, as long as you peel it, I will eat it."
Gu Shumo said: "But how can I give you something bad?"
"Ugh..." Lou Tao's heart was so excited by this couple that he quickly showed his affection to Gu Nianqing.
Gu Nianqing couldn't bear it anymore, so she followed Lou Taoxin out of the living room.
Lou Ruqing raised her eyes and glared at them, but didn't say much.
Gu Shumo finally peeled the apple again. It was much better than the first time. Most of the apple flesh was still there, but it was still uneven.
He was still dissatisfied, and before Lou Ruqing could speak, he threw away the fruits of his hard work and continued...
Lou Ruqing couldn't help but sigh to herself, if this continues, how long will she have to wait until she wants to eat an apple?
Until the few apples Aunt Zhang brought were all scrapped. Gu Shumo still hadn't peeled a decent one. He asked Aunt Zhang to bring some more and continued practicing desperately.
Lou Ruqing waited aside boredly.
Time passed little by little, and there was already a thick layer of apple peels piled in the trash can.
An hour later, Gu Shumo finally handed a smooth and perfect apple to Lou Ruqing with a relaxed smile on his face. As for the injury on his hand, he cleverly covered it.
"You succeeded." Lou Ruqing took the apple gently, feeling that she couldn't bear to eat it. If it eats it, wouldn't it be equivalent to eating Shumo's hard work?
"Eat quickly." Gu Shumo looked at Lou Ruqing expectantly.
Lou Ruqing said: "If I eat it, it will be gone."
"I'll cut it for you later." Gu Shumo put the fruit knife back on the plate.
Lou Ruqing looked at Gu Shumo intently. After a while, as if he had made some kind of determination, he finally picked up the apple and took a crisp bite. Sweet, so sweet! So sweet that it turned into nectar in his heart.
Gu Shumo smiled softly, watching Lou Ruqing finish the whole apple, and then asked, "Do you want another one?"
"I'm full." Lou Ruqing smiled and shook her head. This apple was the most delicious apple she had eaten in the past twenty years.
"Okay, let's rest for a while and wait for dinner." Gu Shumo helped Lou Ruqing sit more comfortably, and then said: "I'll go upstairs for a while and I'll come down soon. If you need anything, call Aunt Zhang. Don't get hurt.
You’re on your own, you know?”
Lou Ruqing said speechlessly: "I understand, I'm not a three-year-old child. You go and do your work."
