[A sweet, soft, and very well-behaved little glutinous rice ball shou x a silly CEO gong who keeps thinking, "She's so adorable, I can't take it! No, I have to stay suave!"]
Nuo Nuo is a glutinous rice ball who has gained human form. The pastry shop's master was so careless that he forgot to fill him, leaving him a hollow glutinous rice ball!
The shop is getting busier and more famous, selling lots of delicious pastries every day. Watching his old friends grow plump and round, then proudly lie in beautiful gift boxes, Nuo Nuo can only curl up in a corner and wipe away his tears.
Boohoohoo, there can't be a less delicious pastry in the whole world than me, right? QAQ
One day, an especially luxurious car pulled up outside the shop, and a tall, handsome man stepped out. Nuo Nuo was mesmerized. The man was even better-looking than the prettiest pastry the master had ever shaped! (Nuo Nuo is a glutinous rice ball, so of course he can only compare things to pastries.)
But Gu Chenshuo hadn't come to buy pastries. As everyone knows, no domineering CEO likes sweets. Gu Chenshuo's company planned to develop a new property on this shopping street. All the other shopkeepers had accepted the relocation terms, but the master of this tiny, shabby shop was stubborn and refused to move.
Today, Mr. Gu, renowned in business for his iron fists, iron will, and heart of stone, had deigned to come here in person to see what made this little holdout think he could stand in his way...
Thump! Mr. Gu's long legs seemed to have bumped into something soft and squishy.
"Tsk." Gu Chenshuo clicked his tongue in displeasure and glanced down with narrowed eyes.
A fair, pretty boy rubbed his nose, his big, bright eyes brimming with tears. He said tearfully, "W-welcome... What would you like? All our pastries are delicious."
Gu Chenshuo pulled out a black card. "I'll take everything."
Secretary: "???"
Mr. Gu, do you even remember why you came here?
Nuo Nuo tugged on the man's clothes, eyes brimming with tears. "Th-then what about me?"
Damn, what kind of ridiculously adorable creature is this?
Gu's heart was in turmoil, but his face remained impassive.
He gave a faint smile. "Heh."
He couldn't let people think he was one of those foolish CEOs who lost all self-control at the drop of a hat!
Nuo Nuo's tears fell even harder.
Boohoohoo, it really is true that nobody wants to eat me. Even this man doesn't want me. What am I supposed to do...
Gu Chenshuo left with a trunk full of pastries.
The man pressed at the corner of his eye and frowned. Wait, what had he come here to do in the first place?
Late at night, the refrigerator door creaked open. A little ball sprang out with a "boing" and turned into an adorable boy.
Nuo Nuo had done something naughty for the first time. He had secretly hidden among the pastries and followed the man home.
Even though he was a defective product, he still wanted the human he liked to eat him. QAQ
A large hand grabbed the back of his neck and lifted the little rice-ball spirit up. "How did you get in here?"
Nuo Nuo looked small, helpless, and pitiful. "I... I'm a free sample..."
Later, Nuo Nuo discovered that to Gu Chenshuo, he wasn't some defective product or free sample.
He was the most delicious, sweetest treasure in the whole world.
The kind you could never get enough of.
