“Zhou Cibai, Zhou Cibai, something happened! Wake up quickly!”
Zhou Cibai was awakened by a milky voice. The hand that pushed him was soft and seemed to taste like milk candy.
Zhou Cibai frowned.
He and Gu Jiqing have been busy with graduation matters recently, and it was a rare free day on Children’s Day. Where did this little kid come from to disturb him and Gu Jiqing’s sleep?
Zhou Cibai was afraid that the child would disturb Gu Jiqing, so even though he was extremely sleepy, he still struggled to sit up, opened his eyes, and tried to coax the child away.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he froze in place.
The room in front of him was not their room, but a powder blue children’s room filled with toys.
The Gu Jiqing in front of him was not Gu Jiqing, or rather, not the original Gu Jiqing, but a smaller version of Gu Jiqing.
His eyes are still beautiful, and his skin is still fair, but it is not the cold and transparent white that he had when he grew up. Instead, it is as white as jelly. His originally thin cheeks now have the soft texture of baby fat, and even the teardrop mole has become cute.
What’s even more offensive is that Gu Jiqing, who looks so cute, is wearing a cat-ear headband on his head, and there is a cat tail of the same style on the back of his denim overalls. The whole person is…
Cute enough to explode.
For the first time, Zhou Cibai felt his heart stop and his blood flow backward, forgetting to breathe because of the visual cuteness.
He was completely stunned.
And it felt oddly familiar.
From Gu Jiqing’s perspective, Zhou Cibai also appears to be a childish version. His mixed-race light brown hair and long eyelashes make him look like a handsome little prince. He also wears a dog-ear headband on his head and overalls with the same dog tail.
Very cute, but silly.
He could see that Zhou Cibai was impressed by his current appearance, and he also knew that Zhou Cibai would become stupid when he was impressed by his cuteness, so without waiting for Zhou Cibai to think, he immediately told him what he had observed and summarized during the time he woke up early: “Zhou Cibai, we have traveled to the fan fiction we read in yesterday’s super topic!”
Fan fiction?
Zhou Cibai was not stupid after all, and he immediately remembered where this strange feeling of familiarity came from.
Before going to bed last night, the two of them lay on the bed and browsed the super topic together. While browsing, they saw a fanfiction about the two of them going to the amusement park together. The fan fiction was also accompanied by Q-version comic illustrations.
It is probably an everyday story about the two childhood sweethearts who were left alone at home and went to the amusement park together. The room and their outfits in the illustration are exactly the same as they are now.
At that time, Zhou Cibai noticed the yearning in Gu Jiqing’s eyes when he was reading the comics and asked Gu Jiqing indirectly why he never had the chance to go to the amusement park when he was a child. So he decided to take Gu Jiqing to the amusement park on Children’s Day.
But when he went to bed at night, he still felt distressed and loving when looking at Gu Jiqing’s sleeping face, because even if an adult went to an amusement park, it would be impossible for him to have the same state of mind as a child. His Gu Zhizhi would always lack a childhood.
At that time, he thought it would be great if he could know Gu Jiqing when he was a child.
That way, he can take him to the amusement park hand in hand, ride the carousel together, eat cotton candy together, and watch the pretty little Gu Jiqing open his eyes wide and exclaim “Wow” adorably under the fireworks.
Unexpectedly, when they woke up, they actually found themselves in the fanfiction about their childhood.
If they remember correctly, their current setting is that Gu Jiqing is a child who is temporarily fostered in their home. Because the parents are busy today, there are only two of them, so elder brother Zhou Cibai took younger brother Gu Jiqing to the amusement park.
That’s right, according to the setting in this fan fiction, he is already seven years old, and Gu Jiqing is only five years old, so he is Gu Jiqing’s older brother!
Thinking of this, Zhou Cibai quickly accepted the fact that he was in a book. He immediately jumped up from the bed excitedly and held Gu Jiqing’s hand. “Then let’s go and play now!”
“Ah?” Perhaps because the body he entered was too young and the brain’s physiological development was not yet fully mature, Gu Jiqing also became a little dazed.
Zhou Cibai’s thoughts became much clearer: “Look, the fan fiction will be finished by twelve o’clock tonight. If we can go back by then, it will be fine. If we can’t go back, we are both so smart, we can definitely deal with it. If it doesn’t work out, we can still grow up together as childhood sweethearts and spend more than ten years together. What a great thing! So don’t worry, let’s go out and play together today, okay?”
“Oh.” Gu Jiqing felt that what Zhou Cibai said made sense. “But we are children now. Can children go to the amusement park without their parents?”
When Gu Jiqing asked this question with blinking eyes, he looked smart but also silly and cute.
Zhou Cibai liked it very much.
He carefully buttoned the collar of Gu Jiqing’s shirt, then got out of bed and helped Gu Jiqing put on his leather shoes while saying, “You forgot, we are now in the world of fan fiction. Since I can take you to the amusement park in the fan fiction, it means that in the world of fan fiction, you don’t need adults to go to the amusement park ah.”
“That’s right.” Gu Jiqing sat on the bed and blinked. “Zhou Cibai, why do I feel that you have become smarter.
Zhou Cibai proudly lifted him off the bed and compared their heights: “Because I’m the older brother now.”
Although the two men were only five and seven years old in body, they were actually twenty-year-old souls. But for some reason, looking at Zhou Cibai’s proud expression at this moment, Gu Jiqing feels that he can’t be any older than seven years old.
But although it was such an unreliable thing, when Gu Jiqing thought that Zhou Cibai was still by his side, he was not worried or afraid at all.
He pursed his lips and smiled, then held out his hand: “Okay, then Xiao Ci gege, holding hands.”
Listening to Gu Jiqing deliberately say such cute words, Zhou Cibai’s childish heroism and the inexplicable vanity of men were greatly satisfied.
He also pursed his lips and smiled as he took Gu Jiqing’s hand.
Fortunately, the children’s playground set in the fan fiction is not far from their home, it’s just one bus stop away.
The reason for this setting is that five-year-old Gu Jiqing met a grandfather roasting sweet potatoes next to the bus stop and was so greedy that he lay down beside the oven and wagged his tail.
As a result, the two children only had annual tickets for the children’s playground and children’s bus cards but no cash, so the greedy Gu Xiaomao could only let his tail hang down.
Thinking of the illustration of that scene, Zhou Cibai very wisely searched around the house in advance because he remembered that there was a piggy bank on the bedside table in the illustration.
Sure enough, he successfully found it.
Even though he only shook out a stack of change, Zhou Cibai felt that it would not be a problem to feed the little greedy cat.
So the two of them happily set off towards the baked sweet potato stall.
As a result, because the original text described in great detail how popular the baked sweet potato stall was and how long the queue was, and five-year-old Gu Jiqing’s small body couldn’t squeeze in at all, Zhou Cibai left Gu Jiqing on the small bench of the bus and squeezed in himself.
Before leaving, Zhou Cibai seriously reminded Gu Jiqing not to go with strangers.
He was so serious, to the point that Gu Jiqing didn’t even have the heart to remind himself that he was actually a 20-year-old adult. He just smiled and watched Zhou Cibai, who was not much taller than him, struggle to squeeze into the crowd while holding the change.
After laughing, he turned his head and saw an old lady with completely gray hair hunched over, picking up oranges scattered on the ground across the street behind the bus stop.
Gu Jiqing forgot for a moment that he looked like he was only five years old. He quickly jumped off the bench and ran over to help the old woman pick up the oranges.
However, he now had short legs and arms, and was wearing not-so-square overalls with a cat tail. He was not much more skilled than the old woman in picking up the things. He could only run back and forth with his short legs until he was sweating profusely.
After he finally finished picking up the oranges, before he could smile and say a few sweet words to the old lady selling oranges, he suddenly heard an anxious voice behind him: “Gu Jiqing!”
This was a tone of voice that Zhou Cibai used to call out his full name in a fierce manner that he rarely heard.
Gu Jiqing turned around in a daze and saw Zhou Cibai running towards him anxiously with a bag of roasted sweet potatoes. He then hugged him and fiercely said, “Didn’t I tell you not to go with strangers?”
Gu Jiqing was stunned for a moment, then after sensing Zhou Cibai’s extreme anxiety, he chuckled and said, “Stupid, I’m not even a real child.”
“But your look is of a child now! And a very beautiful child at that! What if you really meet a bad guy?” Zhou Cibai didn’t even dare to think about it, and his tone became uncontrollably heavier.
When they were all adults before, Gu Jiqing had rarely seen Zhou Cibai so fierce. He was a little uncomfortable with it, but his heart was still sweet. He hugged Zhou Cibai back and comforted him softly: “It’s okay. When I was five years old, I could even run two blocks to buy soy sauce for my mother. So don’t worry.”
“I’m worried!” Zhou Cibai was still very fierce. “How can there be anyone who lets a five-year-old go out to buy soy sauce by himself? I don’t care what you did in the past, but you must never do this in the future. Children should behave like children!”
After he finished being fierce, he turned the still dazed Gu Jiqing around, pursed his lips, pinched the cat’s tail on Gu Jiqing’s overalls with one hand, and pinched the dog’s tail on his own overalls with the other hand, and twisted them together.
The two tails are sewn on the butt of the overalls. The surface is artificial fur, and the core is a tough steel wire. For the sake of cuteness, they are made long and big. After twisting the two tails into one from the back, there is just enough distance left for them to hold hands.
After twisting it, he turned Gu Jiqing back, held his face, and seriously said, “Gu Zhizhi, you are no longer the sensible Gu Zhizhi who needed to buy soy sauce. Today you are just a little kid, Gu Zhizhi, who is going to celebrate Children’s Day. So you can’t leave my sight all day today. Do you hear me?”
Although he only looks like a child, Gu Jiqing can still see the firm desire to protect and take serious care in Zhou Cibai’s still tender eyes.
Gu Jiqing thought Zhou Cibai was really cute.
So he nodded very seriously: “En, okay, but I have a question.”
“What?”
Zhou Cibai had never felt that his family status was so high before. He asked in a very manly way, with a straight face.
Then Gu Jiqing blinked: “What should I do if I want to go to the toilet now?”
