Chapter 403: Chapter 403 It’s Actually Pretty Good Too
Not long after she left, School A also had its final exams and started winter vacation.
When Luo ng was putting up Spring Festival couplets on the 29th of New Year, she realized she had bought one pair less.
“How co I’m one pair short?”
The young girl couldn’t help but mutter to herself in frustration.
But it was already the 29th, and there were no more shops selling anything outside, but she couldn’t just not hang a couplet on one door, so Luo ngng ran to Gu Zhihan’s house to see if he had any spare Spring Festival couplets.
“Gu Zhihan! Do you have any extra Spring Festival couplets?” Luo ngng asked as she ran over to his house.
She didn’t find anyone in his bedroom.
As she wondered where he could be, Gu Zhihan’s voice ca over, “I’m in the study.”
“What are you doing in the study?” Luo ngng asked curiously as she turned around and walked with small steps to find him.
Once she entered the study, she saw Gu Zhihan engrossed in writing Spring Festival couplets.
“You’re writing Spring Festival couplets yourself?” ngng exclaid in surprise, walking up to him with her clear eyes fixed on the couplets he was writing.
She saw the calligraphy on the red paper, flowing like water, the strength penetrating the paper, captivating to the point where one couldn’t look away.
Luo ngng completely forgot why she ca in the first place, showering him with praises, “Gu Zhihan your calligraphy is way too good!”
Gu Zhihan, quite satisfied with her complints, hooked up the corners of his lips in a pleased smile, then looked at her, “Didn’t you say you were missing a pair of couplets? Shall I write one for you?”
“Yes, yes, please!” Luo ngng rembered her original purpose and nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.
Gu Zhihan pushed the inkstone towards her, “Then you help grind the ink.”
“Okay!” After Luo ng took the inkstone, she ground it diligently, her eyes fixed on the brush in his hand, and asked with curiosity, “What couplets are you planning to write for ?”
Gu Zhihan dipped the tip of the brush in the ink and pondered for a mont before replying, “I need to think…”
“Actually, I’ve thought of a couplet.” Seeing he hadn’t decided, Luo ngng blurted out her idea excitedly, rubbing her hands together.
Surprised that she could co up with couplets, Gu Zhihan’s eyes showed a flicker of astonishnt, but he listened attentively, “Let’s hear it then.”
“Ahem! Listen closely!” Luo ng cleared her throat and, putting down the inkstone, recited with an ancient scholar’s deanor, “Upper couplet: Year after year, we never stop eating; Lower couplet: Year in year out, the eating never ceases; Horizontal scroll: Long live foodies!”
Gu Zhihan was instantly covered with black lines: “…”
As expected, he shouldn’t have hoped for her to co up with any couplet.
“Hey! What’s with that expression! Is it that my couplet doesn’t rhy well enough?” Luo ngng, seeing his silent reaction and his face full of disbelief, as if her couplet was trash, protested.
It rhyd perfectly well!
“It’s not about not rhyming well, but this content…” is just indescribable, who pastes such Spring Festival couplets during the New Year.
Gu Zhihan wanted to say this, but seeing the girl’s pouting face, he decided to change his words after a mont of silence, “…Actually, it’s quite good.”
After all, the couplet wasn’t ant for his door, a few insincere complints wouldn’t hurt.
Hearing this, Luo ngng’s face brightened up like clearing skies, her eyes blinking she urged him, “Then hurry up and write it for !”
“Alright…” Gu Zhihan suppressed the twitch at the corner of his mouth, dipped the brush in ink, and began to write the couplet she had co up with.
