Chapter 112: Chapter 112 I Won’t Cry
“I certainly won’t cry, it doesn’t, doesn’t hurt!”
The originally tearful Mengmeng, now, for the sake of pride, had forcibly repressed her tears, and after letting out an embarrassed shout, she dashed out of the store as soon as the second earring was in place.
Really doesn’t hurt???
Gu Zhihan, watching the little girl’s retreating figure, couldn’t help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had felt pain just watching her, and yet this girl, who was so afraid of pain, actually claimed it didn’t hurt? Was that true or false?
Just as Gu Zhihan was about to chase after Mengmeng, the shop owner’s wife stopped him, “Don’t leave yet, you haven’t paid.”
“…” Gu Zhihan tugged the corner of his mouth, then reached for his wallet.
While giving him change, the shop owner’s wife didn’t forget to instruct him, “Are you the little girl’s brother from before? Remember to tell her not to let her ears get wet for three days and not to take the earrings out, otherwise they will get infected. If possible, it’s best to buy silver ornaments to wear. This can aid the healing of the pierced hole, and it won’t take many months for it to fully heal…”
“Yeah, I got it.” Although Gu Zhihan’s mind was on Luo Mengmeng outside, he still listened to all the precautions. Once she had given him the change, he immediately lifted his long legs and dashed out of the store.
As soon as he stepped outside, Gu Zhihan saw Mengmeng with her little backpack squatting on the ground, pitifully wiping away her tears.
“Wuwuwu… it really hurts… I’ll never get my ears pierced again…” Uh, this…
Seeing her look of utter despair, the corner of Gu Zhihan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Didn’t she say it didn’t hurt?
“Why are you crying?” With his hands in his pockets, he walked over to her and looked down at her, “I recall someone just now roaring at me that it didn’t hurt at all, that she wouldn’t cry, right?”
“Wuwu…” Seeing his unsympathetic response, Mengmeng cried even harder, “With so many people around earlier, and you asking me like that, how could you expect me to respond? Do you think I have no pride?”
If she had burst into tears then, who knows how others would have laughed at her.
Besides, they were all from the same school. What if they spread the story around?
“Hard to believe you can also be thin-skinned,” Gu Zhihan said with a hint of surprise as he looked at her.
“You!!!” Enraged, Mengmeng stood up and threw herself into his arms, pummeling his chest with her little fists, “Can’t you stop making snide remarks, can’t you just comfort me, and help soothe the pain by blowing on it?”
Although she was hitting him, she wasn’t using much force. It was, in fact, tickling him.
Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but lower his gaze and took her small hand in his palm, which was significantly larger, and said, “All right, I’ll blow on your ear.”
After saying that, Gu Zhihan’s thin lips approached her reddened earlobe and he gently exhaled a breath.
As he blew, Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but wonder, who the hell came up with such a “pain-relieving” method?
“Is it better now?” After blowing gently twice, Gu Zhihan reached up to wipe her tears, “Can you stop crying now?”
His tone already carried a hint of pleading.
“Hmm… for comforting me, I’ll stop crying,” Mengmeng sniffled and held back her tears.
Gu Zhihan watched her in silence, thinking, if it weren’t for worrying that my mom would misunderstand and think I made you cry, I definitely wouldn’t have comforted you.
After taking the bus home, Gu Zhihan’s mother, who had gotten off work early for once, was preparing dinner at home.
