Chapter 293: Chapter 293 He is Confessing to Himself Chapter 293: Chapter 293 He is Confessing to Himself Gu Zhihan glanced at her total score but remained silent.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Luo Mengmeng had waited for a long time without him telling her the score and couldn’t help but urge him.
Gu Zhihan wanted to speak, but as he moved his lips, he discovered he could not utter a word; he really didn’t know how to tell her the score she had received.
Finally losing her patience, Luo Mengmeng took her hands away from her eyes and looked at the computer screen.
As soon as she saw the total score, she froze completely.
Then, the next second, her face showed an expression of feeling tricked, and tears began to fall immediately, crying like a baby, “How come I only scored 601.5 points? Why couldn’t I get just that extra half a point?”
Luo Mengmeng only scored 601.5 points this time.
If she had just scored an extra half a point, she would have been admitted to School A.
She could have been with Gu Zhihan as well.
But now… everything was gone.
All the effort she put in these days seemed like a wasted effort, all for naught…
“Wuwuwu!” Luo Mengmeng’s heart was incredibly sad, and her crying grew louder and louder.
Seeing her so upset, Gu Zhihan’s heart clenched tight as if it were being forcefully squeezed by an invisible hand; he immediately strode over to her, opened his arms wide, and embraced her whole body, his deep voice offering comfort, “Silly girl, stop crying…”
If she kept crying, he might not be able to hold back and would want to cry with her.
However, Luo Mengmeng couldn’t control her tears at all; resting her head against his chest, her shoulders shook violently, her hands tightly grasping the front of his shirt. She raised her tear-reddened eyes to him, “Gu Zhihan, what should I do? I can’t get into School A now…”
“It’s okay…” Gu Zhihan lowered his head, looking into her eyes, and reached out a hand to gently stroke her hair.
“How can it be okay!” Luo Mengmeng became agitated all at once, with fresh tears rolling down from her eyes, her pale face filled with utter despair, “You said you’d only be with me if I got into School A, but now I didn’t get in, you won’t be with me at all!”
Actually, she didn’t care about getting into School A at all; what she cared about was whether she could be in a relationship with him.
Around the age of fifteen or sixteen, many people value love over studies, and Luo Mengmeng was one of them.
“You…” Gu Zhihan let out a soft sigh, lifted his fingertips to wipe her tear-streaked cheeks dry, and slowly said, “Can’t I regret it now?”
“What?” Luo Mengmeng’s tear-filled eyes looked at him in a daze, clearly not grasping what he meant.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zhihan placed his hands on her shoulders, speaking his full thoughts, “I said I regret having told you I’d only be with you if you got into School A. Luo Mengmeng, I think I must like you, so, let’s be together, even if you didn’t get into School A, it doesn’t matter.”
After he finished, Gu Zhihan’s face actually showed a touch of shyness, his handsome cheeks flushed with a hint of red, his gaze wandering everywhere as if he was too embarrassed to look her in the eye.
Luo Mengmeng was suddenly stunned, her crying instinctively forgotten.
Was he confessing to her!?
Seeing her not responding to him, just staring dumbfounded, his face instantly turned from shy pink to scorched black, “Can you give some kind of reaction?”
It was his first time confessing to someone!
Yet the person on the other end wasn’t taking it seriously, with just an “Ah” and nothing more!
