Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Cheer Up, Girl
ngng had been listless all day, and when she went to Gu Zhihan’s house for tutoring after night self-study, Gu’s mother noticed her red and swollen eyes and imdiately frowned, asking Gu Zhihan, “Why are ngng’s eyes so red and swollen? Did you bully her?”
Before Gu Zhihan could even defend himself, his mother continued, “Or is it possible that you betrayed ngng for soone new, and that’s what made her cry like this?”
“…”
If there was anything Gu Zhihan admired the most, it was definitely his own mother’s talent for talking nonsense.
“Is that really the case?” Seeing he did not respond, Gu’s mother assud he was admitting it. She grabbed a mop that was lying nearby, ready to beat him, and declared, “Let tell you, if you dare to bring another vixen into this house, I will disown you as my son and act like I never gave birth to you, you ungrateful child…”
Just as she was about to bring the mop down, Luo ngng quickly stepped in front of Gu Zhihan and heaved a sigh, looking rather helpless as she said, “Godmother, you’ve got it all wrong. My tears aren’t because of Gu Zhihan; it’s because I did poorly on a recent mock exam.”
“So that’s what happened!” At her words, Gu’s mother breathed a sigh of relief, put down the mop, and rushed over to comfort her, “It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as you’ve tried your best.”
“Yeah!”
Luo ngng nodded, although deep down she still felt disheartened.
Despite her efforts, she had still not done well.
It seed that not all things in the world could be achieved through hard work alone.
Of course, if one did not work hard at all, that would probably be even less effective.
The thought made her feel even more disheartened…
When they entered the room, Gu Zhihan stopped in front of the increasingly distressed girl, cupped her cheeks with his large hands, and looked at her earnestly, “Don’t be sad anymore, do you hear ?”
“Look, every ti you’re upset, my mom thinks I bullied you, and she always picks up the broom to hit . Tell , isn’t that sad and unfair?”
As the young man spoke, he displayed an aggrieved expression, resembling a Golden Retriever that had just been scolded by its owner.
Seeing him like this, Luo ngng couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The gloom in her heart dispersed quite a bit, and she threw herself into his arms, “Gu Zhihan, how can you be so adorable? It’s so good to have you.”
“That’s not entirely true…” Gu Zhihan suddenly stated.
“Huh?” Luo ngng looked up at him, puzzled.
Gu Zhihan lowered his gaze, enunciating each word, “It’s not just good for you to have ; it’s also good for to have you.”
“Hehe…”
Luo ngng smiled foolishly, nodding in agreent.
“You look much better when you smile,” Gu Zhihan said, seeing that she was finally happy. A hint of a smile graced his lips as he gently pinched her chubby cheeks. Noticing her swollen eyes, he added, “Wait here for a mont, I will boil a couple of eggs for you to put on your eyes.”
“Okay,” Luo ngng nodded, waving him off, “You go ahead, I’m going to read for a bit.”
Yes, doing poorly on one exam did not an she would do badly on the next one.
And even if she did poorly on the next one, it did not an she was certain to fail the college entrance exam.
Ultimately, trying hard might not guarantee success, but not trying at all definitely ensured failure.
Cheer up, girl!
Luo ngng pep-talked herself while flipping through her books to review.
After she had read for a while, Gu Zhihan ca into the room with two boiled eggs.
