After binding the Xueba system, the society feared that she would collapse

In the end, Gu Zhiruan returned to the real world holding the notebook her teacher gave her and the MFT124 manuscript she designed.

As soon as he returned to the familiar room, Gu Zhiruan hurriedly picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table to check the time.

Seeing that the time displayed on the phone was exactly as the Goubi system said, only two hours had passed since she entered the system space, she was finally relieved.

After locking up the notebook and design draft so that they could not be discovered by his mother, Gu Zhiruan could not wait to run to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Although two weeks in the other world was only equivalent to two hours in the real world, and she didn't feel hungry physically, she hadn't eaten for two weeks mentally. So, as soon as she returned to reality, her stomach growled like crazy, and her mind was filled with thoughts of salt-baked chicken, roast duck, braised pork, and roasted goose...

After finding a few desserts in the refrigerator and filling his stomach, Gu Zhiruan took his keys and went out to eat.

She didn't care that it was already past lunch time, she just wanted to eat the delicious food in her mind first.

After completely satisfying his taste buds, Gu Zhiruan walked towards home with lazy steps.

It was 3:30 in the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest. However, Gu Zhiruan was not afraid of the heat that could burn her skin. She tilted her snow-white face up and let the sun kiss her.

In that world without distinction between day and night, the sun and the moon have long disappeared, and the only thing that can illuminate the world is the light that never goes out.

This made her very uncomfortable as she had been able to bask in the sunshine at any time since she was a child and was used to using the sunshine to dispel the haze in her heart.

So, the sun and the moon also appeared in her list of thoughts.

Now that I'm back to the real world, of course I have to enjoy the long-lost sunbath.

When he staggered back home, Gu Zhiruan was already sweating all over.

She raised her arm and sniffed, then wrinkled her face in disgust. It was too stinky and she couldn't stand it. So she walked straight to the bathroom in the room, ready to take a nice hot bath.

It was already half past ten in the evening when Gu Tianqin dragged her tired body back home.

When I entered the house, I was a little surprised to see my daughter sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Why aren't you asleep yet at this hour?"

Usually when she gets home, her daughter is either fast asleep or studying hard in the study. It's rare to see her watching TV in the living room at this time.

Gu Zhiruan, who was originally immersed in reviewing Princess Huanzhu, immediately looked up in surprise when she heard her mother's voice and rushed over: "Mom, you are finally home, I missed you so much!"

Gu Tianqin stumbled back two steps after being pounced on by her. After steadying herself, she patted her butt twice in a reproachful manner: "You little bitch, don't try this on me. You are so dishonest every day. Why don't you think I've seen you come to the store to look for your mother?"

Gu Zhiruan said coquettishly: "Oh, I'm afraid of disturbing you, and I want to prepare a surprise for you at home!"

When Gu Tianqin heard this, she asked with great interest: "Surprise? What surprise?"

Gu Zhiruan hurried into the kitchen and brought out a cup of boiled water with snow skin pills in it and a small plate of brightly colored healing macarons.

When Gu Tianqin saw these colorful desserts, her eyes seemed to be glued to them and she couldn't pull them away: "What kind of dessert is this? The colors are really beautiful."

Gu Zhiruan put the food on the coffee table and said with a smile: "Mom, come and try it. This is a dessert I made while reading a book."

In fact, she learned how to make macarons secretly when she worked in a dessert shop in her previous life.

As for why she didn’t teach Ms. Gu how to make macarons before, it was simply because she didn’t like eating macarons, so she forgot about it when she was teaching Ms. Gu the dessert recipe.

Today, I just suddenly missed this taste and thought of tinkering with it.

Moreover, there was not only dessert, she also planned to put the snow skin pills in the water and let Ms. Gu drink it.

Gu Tianqin responded with a smile and was about to reach out to take it.

Suddenly I remembered that I had just returned home and had not washed my hands.

So he quickly ran to the kitchen to wash his hands before returning to the living room, where he sat on the sofa and tasted this delicious-looking dessert.

I took the first bite with great anticipation. The first thing I tasted was the thin but crispy crust, followed by the soft and dense inner layer. Different from the texture of cream, the toughness of the almond biscuit supported the filling and added chewiness to the soft filling.

Gu Tianqin finished eating a small macaron very seriously before commenting: "Although it has the sweet and sour taste of almonds and jam, it is easy to feel sick if you eat too much. However, its appearance is very pleasing and is easily favored by students and young female white-collar workers. It is worth promoting. However, I still need to improve it."

Seeing her mother glowing when talking about desserts, Gu Zhiruan happily boasted: "After being improved by a top dessert master, this dessert will surely be snapped up by girls once it is launched!"

Then he picked up the water dog leg and handed it to Gu Tianqin, smiling and said, "Come on, give the top dessert master a glass of water!"

Gu Tianqin smiled at her daughter and said, "You are the only one who can talk nonsense."

Then he took the water handed to him by his daughter and drank it all. After drinking it, he thought to himself that the water was worthy of being poured by his caring little girl, and it tasted especially sweet.

The mother and daughter chatted about the business in the store for a while, and it was not until nearly half past eleven that Gu Zhiruan remembered that she had not yet told Ms. Gu the most important thing.

So she quickly said, "Mom, Xiaobai invited me to visit her in Beijing the day after tomorrow. What gift do you think I should bring for my first visit to her house?"

Gu Tianqin frowned immediately after hearing this: "You want to go to the capital? Who will take you there? You want to go alone? That won't work. I don't agree!"

Gu Zhiruan waved his hands hurriedly: "Then I definitely didn't go alone, it was Uncle Jiang who took me there."

Hearing this, Gu Tianqin was relieved: "If someone takes you there, then you can go to the capital and have fun for a few days. As for what gifts to bring..."

Gu Tianqin thought for a while before continuing, "There's no need to bring overly expensive gifts. Just bring the fruit wine I've treasured for many years, some homemade cakes, and some local specialties."

These wines were brewed by her own hands in the past, and she had been keeping them as treasures and had not been willing to drink them. Wine becomes more fragrant as it ages. If she was not grateful for the help the Lu family had given to her and her mother, she would not have been willing to give these treasures away.

Eh, I can’t think about it. When I think about losing the treasure I have treasured for many years, Gu Tianqin wants to cover her chest.

Gu Zhiruan didn't know that Ms. Gu was feeling pain, and hesitantly asked, "Ah? Isn't this a little thin?"

After all, that's the Lu family. Although I don't know what kind of powerful and wealthy family the Lu family is, the fact that they can produce a richest man shows that it's very impressive. If I only give them fruit wine, cakes and local specialties, wouldn't it be too... simple?

Seeing her daughter struggling, Gu Tianqin patiently analyzed, "First of all, what rare treasures have a top-notch family like the Lu family not seen? So, no matter how expensive the gifts we bring are, in their eyes, they are just ordinary things."

"Secondly, the Lu family probably dug up everything about us a long time ago. They probably know how much money we have now better than we do. If we really bring overly expensive gifts to their doorstep, it will be seen as an attempt to curry favor. It would be better to give them something we made ourselves to show our sincerity."

"Finally, you are still an eight-year-old kid. It's not good to come empty-handed for your first visit, but it's not a formal meeting. You just want to hang out with your sisters for a few days. There's no need to make such a big fuss."

After listening to his mother's analysis, Gu Zhiruan suddenly remembered that he was only an eight-year-old child and currently he only needed to do what an eight-year-old child should do.

It’s all because of Ms. Gu who gave her a high degree of freedom, so even though she has been reborn for more than a year, she is still used to thinking about things with an adult’s mindset.

Seeing that her daughter was silent and her face was constantly changing, Gu Tianqin thought that her daughter was too proud to bring such shabby gifts, so she rubbed her hair in anger and said, "Okay, okay, why are you so proud? Don't worry, leave it to your mother. I will never let you be rude."

After a pause, he continued, "By the way, remember to go to the wholesale market tomorrow to buy some exquisite, beautiful and high-end gift boxes and wine bottles. I need them!"

"Okay, it's already late. I'm exhausted after working all day. I'm going back to my room to take a shower. You should go to bed early too. Good night, my girl!"

After saying that, regardless of Gu Zhiruan's reaction, he stretched and went back to his room.

Gu Zhiruan: "...Good night."
