Chapter 111: Chapter 111: I Want to Get My Ears Pierced Too
As soon as the embarrassing moment was mentioned, Luo Mengmeng suddenly felt awkward. Then she waved her hand, defending herself, “Getting your ears pierced is not the same as getting an injection.”
“The former is for beauty!” Luo Mengmeng’s expression suddenly became determined, “For beauty, I can endure the pain of getting my ears pierced!”
Tong Mo couldn’t help but be skeptical, “Are you serious?”
“Do you think my face looks like I’m joking with you?” Luo Mengmeng’s little face was utterly serious.
Tong Mo quickly leaned in to look at her face and indeed found no hint of joking.
“Then, after school this afternoon, should I accompany you to the jewelry store next to the school to get your ears pierced?” Tong Mo tentatively asked.
“That settles it!” Luo Mengmeng quickly nodded at her, then ran back to her seat and said to her deskmate Gu Zhihan, “Honey, can you also accompany me to get my ears pierced after school today?”
Gu Zhihan had already overheard her conversation with Tong Mo, and seeing her insistence, he still couldn’t help but remind her, “Do you know how piercing is done?”
Luo Mengmeng shook her head blankly, “I don’t know.”
Gu Zhihan continued, “They use a special gun to shoot the earring into the earlobe.”
After he finished speaking, he quickly added, looking up at her, “So, aren’t you afraid?”
“Uh…” Luo Mengmeng obviously hadn’t expected that ear piercing was done this way and was thinking about giving up, but then she thought about how everyone else had piercings except for her, and she was so envious that she finally bit the bullet, “Then I want to get it done too!”
“Suit yourself then,” Gu Zhihan gave up persuading her, shrugged his shoulders, and took out the textbook he was going to read later, “I hope you don’t cry then.”
A person who screams while getting an injection still thinks about getting ear piercings…
He was just waiting to see her cry her eyes out.
Luo Mengmeng’s face seemed a bit embarrassed, and she immediately countered, “I won’t!”
When school was dismissed in the afternoon, as soon as the bell rang, Mengmeng pulled Gu Zhihan and Tong Mo and ran to the jewelry store next to the school.
The jewelry store was crowded, especially the line for ear piercing, which was incredibly long.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, it was finally Mengmeng’s turn.
“Little girl, don’t move later when it’s getting done; otherwise, it might get crooked,” the owner of the piercing place cautioned her while wiping Mengmeng’s earlobes with an alcohol swab.
Mengmeng stared at the ear-piercing gun in her hand, slightly stammering, and swallowing hard.
Although she had already prepared herself mentally, she couldn’t help but get nervous when the moment actually arrived.
“If you’re scared, don’t push yourself,” Gu Zhihan could tell she was backing off, and immediately frowned, preparing to pull her away, “You still have the chance to back out.”
“No, I don’t regret it!”
As Mengmeng’s words fell, the owner’s ear-piercing gun also started moving.
The ear-piercing gun pierced through Mengmeng’s small and tender earlobe.
Mengmeng’s face immediately changed, her teeth tightly biting her lower lip, biting so hard that her lips turned a pale purple.
“Does it hurt a lot?” Gu Zhihan, seeing her struggling with the pain, quickly stepped forward, bent down, and looked at her, frowning, “If it hurts, just cry out. It’s okay.”
As his words fell, all the primary school students in the store turned their eyes towards Mengmeng.
It seemed like they were all watching to see if she would cry.
