Chapter 244: Chapter 244: I Want You to Say It Out Loud Chapter 244: Chapter 244: I Want You to Say It Out Loud The girls were instantly taken aback.
Even Luo Mengmeng paused for a moment.
Clearly, she hadn’t expected him to say that either.
She raised her eyes to look at him, his handsome face wearing a trace of impatience, as if he was using her merely as a shield to avoid teaching anyone else.
For a moment, Luo Mengmeng couldn’t tell whether he truly meant it or was just pretending.
So, when the other girls had left in disappointment, Luo Mengmeng leaned in close to Gu Zhihan and asked expectantly, “Did you really mean it when you said you would only teach me?”
“What do you think?” Gu Zhihan, while tidying up the textbooks that had been displaced by the girls, shot her a glance.
Did he seem like someone who enjoyed telling lies?
Mengmeng guessed his intention from his expression, but still shook his arm and coquettishly persisted, “I want you to say it out loud.”
With no way to evade her pestering, Gu Zhihan lifted a hand to press on her head, “I will only teach you.”
He spoke slowly and seriously, enunciating each word.
As if he was making a promise of some sort.
Mengmeng felt blissfully happy upon hearing this, as if malt candy was melting in her heart, and she let out a silly “hehe” giggle, eagerly helping him tidy up the desk that was still a mess, “You keep reading, I’ll finish organizing the desk!”
Gu Zhihan shook his head helplessly.
She was too easily content.
“Oh, and don’t forget to give me more problems to work on. I’ll strive to improve even more next time,” Mengmeng didn’t forget to add.
Although she had been clamoring to marry him since she was little, as she grew older and saw all the outstanding girls who liked him, she could not let herself fall behind.
“Hmm… right, read these classics as well this month.” Saying this, Gu Zhihan dug out several thick classics from the desk.
Luo Mengmeng looked at the books with a grimace but resignedly took them.
Soon it was time for the noon break, and after reading the classics for a while, Luo Mengmeng became overwhelmingly sleepy. After stretching, she used the classics as a pillow and slept soundly on the desk.
Perhaps she was truly exhausted, for she fell asleep shortly after.
Her sleeping face was pure and beautiful, with butterfly-wing-like lashes casting a faint shadow over her eye sockets, and her tender cheeks were as white as a freshly peeled egg, tempting one to reach out and pinch them.
Gu Zhihan thought this and his hand uncontrollably reached out toward the girl’s face.
With his lips slightly pursed, the left corner of his mouth curling into an arc, he intended only to pinch gently and then let go, but the soft and delicate skin was too addictive. Turning his head to scan the classroom and seeing everyone lying down for a nap, he pinched even more enthusiastically.
After all… no one would see.
Luo Mengmeng’s little face suddenly became Gu Zhihan’s plaything.
It wasn’t long before it turned bright red.
In her sleep, Luo Mengmeng felt her cheek being tugged and couldn’t help but murmur softly, her long lashes quivering as though she was about to open her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Gu Zhihan immediately withdrew his hand and, expressionless, took out his Chinese textbook as though nothing had happened.
Luo Mengmeng had already opened her eyes by this time, and after looking around, her gaze settled on Gu Zhihan’s face, “I felt someone pinching my cheek, did you see who it was?”
Gu Zhihan continued to stare at his Chinese book, feigning composure as he spoke.
“Oh!” Luo Mengmeng yawned, and, without thinking further about it, was about to go back to sleep when she noticed that he was holding his Chinese book upside down.
“Gu Zhihan, are you reading a book?” The little girl blinked her eyes, asking with a hint of probing.
