Gu Changsheng blinked: "This thing melts in the mouth."

Xia Qianqian: "..."

Of course I know, my family has a lot of this kind of chocolate, it's your great-grandchildren... I don't know how many generations of children and grandchildren have given them.

Her stomach grumbled two more times in disappointment. Fortunately, the priest was singing a blessing song, covering up her embarrassment, and only Gu Changsheng standing beside her could hear it.

"Eat it, make sure it's not poison."

Xia Qianqian tucked her hands into her sleeves, peeled off the chocolate with ease, and shoved it into her mouth when no one noticed.

Chocolate melts in your mouth, fragrant and silky, sweet but not greasy, hazelnut crispy... Delicious in the world! Xia Qianqian slowly experienced this wonderful taste with her heart and swallowed it in small mouthfuls, reluctant to eat too fast.

Gu Changsheng looked at her, and the corners of his lips slightly drew a shallow arc.

Xia Qianqian was reluctant to give up, but the chocolate still melted in her mouth. She looked at Gu Changsheng with an indefatigable look, her eyes seemed to have starlight, which was extremely bright.

It feels like I haven't eaten chocolate in a century! After eating one, I want another one!

"No more." Gu Changsheng said.

Xia Qianqian was extremely disappointed, and the starlight in her eyes gradually dimmed. Missing Gujia's big fridge with chocolates in all flavors! What she didn't cherish in the past has now become an untouchable luxury.

Including Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing, I miss your... chocolate!

With warmth in her eyes, Xia Qianqian blinked hard, blinking the tears back into her stomach.

"Is it delicious enough to cry?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"It reminds me... of a person." Xia Qianqian said softly, but her voice was hoarse.

Gu Changsheng's heart quivered, did she think of him? Did she finally remember him!

Resisting his excitement, Gu Changsheng asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"Old man." Xia Qianqian sniffed and glared at Gu Changsheng, "It's just eating your chocolate, there are so many problems."

"Chocolate? It turns out that the name of that candy is chocolate." Gu Changsheng suddenly realized.

"Um."

Xia Qianqian turned her head to watch the priest perform the prayer dance. She was afraid that if she continued this topic with Gu Changsheng, she could not help crying.

The ancient singing is endless in the ancestral hall, the green incense curls on the table, and the statue of the god mercifully overlooks the world, sacred and solemn.

With chocolate for energy, Xia Qianqian no longer complained about the long sacrifice time.

...

Finally, the sacrifice is over. By convention, those who participate in the sacrifice can get some fruits and cakes. Xia Qianqian got an orange, an apple, and two cakes. She was reluctant to eat it and was going to take it back and taste it with her family.

"Xia Qianqian, this is your reward." The priest gave her five taels of silver and looked at her kindly, "I live in the east of the town and come to me whenever you want."

"Thank you." Xia Qianqian took the silver. Alas, she still loses five taels now.

"I'll wait for you," said the priest again.

Xia Qianqian didn't dare to answer her words, and nodded randomly: "I should go to the inn to check out now, right?"

"Well, let's go!"

Xia Qianqian got the fruit snack in her clothes and walked out of the ancestral hall. Looking up at the sky, it was already noon, and she hurried back to Yangliu Village now, just in time for dinner.

The clothes suddenly sank, and Xia Qianqian saw an orange and an apple.

"I like cakes too, so I won't give them to you." Gu Changsheng didn't know when he came to his side, a little smile on his pale face, making this winter warm.
