Gu Xiqiao rubbed her temples as she reached over and accepted the child from the middle-aged woman. Her expression was calm and collected as every motion of hers could become a work of art, and her temperament and aura that stood out like a sore thumb in the passenger car caused the middle-aged woman to look at her as her last hope.
Gu Xiqiao didn't speak, already arriving at a conclusion when she saw the cherry pit beside their seat.
She swiped away all of the snacks on the table in front of her before setting the young boy down, one hand pressed on his back and sending a flow of lively chi into him that made its way to his stomach.
Of course, she still took out two gold needles and pricked them into the boy's head to not arouse any suspicion, and after she plucked them out again, she pinched the boy's chubby cheek gently.
The boy woke up blearily, along with a weak: "Mommy..."
Many of the onlookers gasped in surprise, and their gazes immediately became fervent as they went up and asked Gu Xiqiao about their condition upon seeing such a miracle.
The middle-aged woman hugged the young boy tightly as her lips trembled from residual fear. "My angel, you're finally awake!"
She cried for a while before she bowed down and thanked Gu Xiqiao again and again, and Gu Xiqiao tried to think of a way to stop her from thanking her until the next day. "Uhm, you should go get some water for him, he's probably still feeling a little sick from eating a cherry pit just now."
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately wiped away her tears and went to the front of the carriage to get water for the boy.
At that moment, Gu Xiqiao was still being pestered by the crowd, so she could only explain, "No, my little brother had eaten a cherry pit once before, so I coincidentally knew what to do!"
Upon hearing this, they nodded and left, leaving her to breathe a sigh of relief before she looked down and her eyes came into contact with a pair of beady ones. "Big Sister, you're so awesome!"
"Call me Aunt." Gu Xiqiao squinted at him.
"Oh." The boy that was around four years old adjusted his position in her arms a little, his chubby cheeks and baby fat especially cute as he looked at Gu Xiqiao, not even blinking. "Big Sister, am I heavy?"
"You're not that heavy." Gu Xiqiao reached into her bag and pulled out a pack of chips from her inventory, before ripping it open and handing it to him. "Eat this. Remember to call me Aunt, okay?"
"The aunties that I know don't look like you do." The boy accepted the pack of chips, and he started munching on them obediently.
Gu Xiqiao took the chance to take out her phone, scrolling, and scanning through the long blocks of text that Yao Jiamu messaged her before shutting down her phone again without a reply. "There are aunties that look like me too."
The boy looked at her curiously, before grabbing the pack of chips with his small hands. "Okay, but my mommy says that I'll become stupid if I eat this."
"Then don't eat it." Gu Xiqiao tapped open a game on her phone and handed it to the boy, and the young child put down the chips and tapped at the screen, swiping at it a few times before he died on the first level. He didn't give up and started tapping and swiping again and again, but he kept dying, and Gu Xiqiao wordlessly took the phone and stuffed the bag of chips back into his hands.
"Eat, Datou."
"Thank you, Big Sister!" The boy accepted the chips and started munching on them again.
