Chapter 499: Chapter 500: So Materialistic at Such a Young Age
Little Tuanzi rubbed his eyes when he woke up.
As if there was still a layer of fog in his eyes, they were watery.
But soon enough, his gaze began to clear up gradually.
This child’s eyes were very beautiful, completely captivating.
It was hard to imagine that a child could possess such a clear and penetrating gaze.
Gu Qichen had just walked in the door to find Tuanzi starting to make a phone call.
Tuanzi was wearing an electronic watch.
He casually pressed a few buttons, and then dialed a number.
“Mom, I’m okay. I think I slept for 18 hours and just woke up. This uncle helped me. Uncle said he’s at the usual place. Tell grandpa not to worry. In two hours, Times Square, you come pick me up.”
The little guy’s voice was clear and calm, clear and logical.
As Gu Qichen walked in, the little guy had just ended the call.
The little guy lifted his head, his clear eyes looking at Gu Qichen. His voice was clear, “Uncle, do you have anything to eat? I’ve slept too long and I’m feeling a little hungry.”
It seemed like this little guy knew his body well.
I clearly heard him say that he’d slept for 18 hours.
Gu Qichen had a feeling that this was no ordinary child.
The way he talked didn’t at all resemble a four-or-five-year-old, it was as if an adult soul lived in a child’s body.
Gu Qichen started to speak, “I came to call you for dinner.”
Little Tuanzi was very polite, “Thank you, uncle.”
Gu Qichen led Tuanzi to the dining room for dinner.
The way this little fellow ate was courteous and genteel.
Considering he’d been asleep for 18 hours without even a drop of water, he should be starving.
But he didn’t gobble his food.
Every mouthful was chewed slowly and thoroughly, he was not hasty nor lazy, it was evident that his home tutoring was excellent.
Gu Qichen began to wonder about the parents of this child.
Gu Qichen took the initiative to strike up a conversation with the child, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Summer. Thank you for saving me yesterday, although I still need your help to get me back home. My mum is very worried about me right now.”
Gu Qichen nodded, “You can rest assured about that. As soon as you finish eating, I’ll take you home.”.
“You just need to drop me off at Times Square. My mum will pick me up there.”
“Alright.”
Whenever Gu Qichen talked with this child, it felt like he was talking with an adult.
Gu Qichen couldn’t resist and asked, “Why did you choose me yesterday? What if I were a bad guy? What would you do then?”
The little one had a pretty nonchalant look on his face, “Most of the people in the Empire Hotel are Americans, and you’re Chinese, uncle. I’m a Chinese kid. It was more likely you’d help me if I asked. Secondly, the watch you are wearing is a globally limited edition by Henry Graves worth approximately 4 million US dollars. Your clothes are all couture, and your shoes are custom-made by the Italian craftsman Sid, priceless and one of a kind. Despite your low-key appearance, uncle, your outfit is of extraordinary value…”
At the time Zhengdong was also there.
Hearing a child speak like this was just astounding.
He couldn’t resist commenting, “I never expected a young one like you to be so materialistic…”
Tuanzi wasn’t offended by this remark, calmly explaining, “It’s not that I’m materialistic, but rather I believe that a person who cares so much about his clothing would not likely harm a child.”
Tuanzi glanced at Gu Qichen, finally adding, “And the indisputable elite aura about uncle, if such a man were to be a bad person, then there wouldn’t be any good people left in this world.”:
Such a flattery, even Zhengdong had to admire.
And yet, it didn’t seem like flattery at all coming from this child with his honest tone and calm demeanor, his tranquil voice making people feel extraordinarily comfortable.
