Chapter 248: Chapter 248: I’m Not Thirsty. Chapter 248: Chapter 248: I’m Not Thirsty. Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but lift his lips, resting his hands behind his head as he leisurely watched the young girl not too far away, with no intention of offering to help.
Luo Mengmeng had no choice but to grit her teeth and vigorously swim towards him.
After quite an effort, she finally reached him. Unable to resist, she glared at him and poked his bare chest, demanding, “Gu Zhihan, why didn’t you come help me?”
Couldn’t he see she was swimming so hard!
Gu Zhihan gave a quiet laugh. “I thought you were swimming pretty well, no need for help.”
Luo Mengmeng initially thought he was complimenting her, but when she remembered that she was using the very basic doggy paddle, she realized he was actually making fun of her.
Seeing him still laughing, Luo Mengmeng suddenly became annoyed and embarrassed. Her small hand slapped over his mouth, utterly unaware that she had ended up in Gu Zhihan’s arms.
Gu Zhihan stared at the young girl in his arms, a glint of amusement in his dark eyes as his voice turned hoarse, “Do you really enjoy throwing yourself at me ?”
He restrained something, casually asking.
“What are you talking about?” Luo Mengmeng retorted before belatedly realizing that she was sitting on his waist, and he was only wearing swim trunks…
Luo Mengmeng’s face involuntarily reddened. She was already in eighth grade and had seen representations of male bodies in her biology textbook. She screamed, tried to get off him, but her foot slipped, plunging her into the water behind her.
Just when Luo Mengmeng thought she might drown, a strong arm already had her securely.
Gu Zhihan pulled her out of the water, his face darkening, “Why did you shriek?”
It was him who had been taken advantage of, yet he hadn’t made a sound, and she had started screaming.
Thinking of how close they had been, Luo Mengmeng’s face heated up again, “I, I, I…” It was because she almost touched him.
But how could she say such a thing? She simply turned her head haughtily and distanced herself from him, “Ugh, I’m not talking to you anymore!”
No sooner had she walked away than Zhao Tingting swam up to Gu Zhihan with a bottle of drink.
“Class monitor…” When she reached him, Zhao Tingting suppressed the excitement in her heart, pretending to just pass by as she called him.
Gu Zhihan opened his eyes and gave her a brief glance.
Seeing him looking at her, Zhao Tingting’s cheeks reddened even more, her head dipping slightly while her fingers, whether intentionally or not, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, exposing her delicate collarbone and…
Little did she know that Gu Zhihan had already closed his eyes again, completely missing her tempting display.
He even issued a dismissal, “If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I prefer being alone.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tingting instinctively looked up, only then remembering the purpose of her visit. As she spoke, she offered him the drink she had bought from the snack counter inside, “I, I have something. This drink, for you. I, I bought it, especially for you…”
In front of the person she liked, her words jumbled, her tongue tying in knots, which annoyed Zhao Tingting immensely, fearing that Gu Zhihan might disdain her.
Yet Gu Zhihan seemed unaware of her discomfort. With his eyes closed, he didn’t even bother to look up, issuing another dismissal, “I’m not thirsty.”
Those three words, cold and hard, suddenly pressed down on Zhao Tingting’s heart like a heavy stone.
