It’s a fact that no man can bear to see a girl cry, especially a pretty one.
Zhuo Wen sighed helplessly and finally agreed, "Alright, but not every day, once a week is enough."
"Let’s start this afternoon then! It’s Friday, so there’s no evening self-study!" Tong Mo immediately stopped her tears and looked at him with a smiling face.
"Okay," Zhuo Wen nodded and then looked at his watch, "It’s almost time for class, we need to hurry back."
The class he was about to teach was next on the schedule.
Tong Mo, knowing how seriously he took his work, quickly pulled him and ran towards the school.
Although they tried their best to make it on time, by the time they reached the classroom, the bell had been ringing for over ten minutes.
Seeing that the teacher hadn’t arrived yet, the students of Class Ten started to whisper amongst themselves.
"Our homeroom teacher is always on time. What could have made him so late today?"
"Should someone go check the office? Maybe the teacher forgot he had a class today?"
"I went to check just now, there’s nobody in the office!"
The voices in the classroom grew louder as they discussed.
"No one?" Luo Mengmeng was surprised to hear what her classmate said, "Then where did the teacher and Tong Mo go?"
"Maybe they had to step out for something?" Gu Zhihan mused.
No sooner had he spoken than the foreign exchange student sitting in front grinned and turned to him, speaking in broken Chinese, "Gu Zhihan, aren’t you the class monitor? Since the teacher isn’t here, why don’t you teach us instead?"
The blonde-haired, blue-eyed exchange student who had boldly confessed to Gu Zhihan at the school gate earlier was the one talking.
Gu Zhihan gave her a cold glance and bluntly dropped three words, "Not interested."
Belle immediately puffed up her cheeks in annoyance, "Why are you so cold to me, yet so warm and gentle with her!"
As she spoke, she pointed at Luo Mengmeng.
Luo Mengmeng, suddenly called out, looked innocently at Belle.
Thinking to herself, I am his girlfriend after all...
"Because she is my girlfriend."
Gu Zhihan rolled his eyes at her annoyedly.
If it weren’t for making her give up, he would not have said another word to her.
"She’s your donkey friend?" Belle, who had just been wondering who his girlfriend was, was shocked to hear it was Luo Mengmeng, looked her over carefully, and couldn’t help but blurt out, "But she looks so ordinary, how come you would choose such a donkey friend?"
"It’s girlfriend!" Gu Zhihan said darkly, resisting the urge to strangle her.
"Yes, donkey friend!" Belle said with an innocent face.
Had she said something wrong?
Gu Zhihan was too lazy to say another word to her.
While they were talking, Zhuo Wen and Tong Mo finally arrived at the classroom.
"Teacher, where have you been? The class is almost half over!"
As he entered, a student couldn’t help but ask.
At the podium, Zhuo Wen gave a light cough and told a lie, "I didn’t go anywhere, just had something to take care of, okay, let’s start the class. Please turn your textbooks to page 66..."
Tong Mo, back at her seat, felt moved again because he hadn’t publicized the incident of her breaking her arm.
It had been such a long time since she experienced the feeling of being protected!
