Gu Zhihan responded not with words, but by shaking the bag in his hand, signaling her to take it herself.
Luo Mengmeng quickly took it and her face instantly lit up with delight.
"It’s sweet and sour pork ribs!"
The young girl was so thrilled to see her favorite dish that she reached out to grab and eat it right away.
"Don’t use your hands, put on disposable gloves first." Gu Zhihan, the germophobe, immediately stopped her and handed her a pair of disposable gloves.
By then, Luo Mengmeng was looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs, saliva almost dripping down, and she immediately began grabbing them with the gloves on.
"Delicious, so delicious!"
"Gu Zhihan, you really are the best boyfriend in the world!"
Luo Mengmeng was so moved she was nearly ready to drag him to the Civil Affairs Bureau right then and there.
Gu Zhihan really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
This girl was just too easy to please; a few pork ribs had completely won her over.
Seeing her wolfing down the food, Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but remind her, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke; no one is fighting you for it."
As he spoke, he tenderly extended his finger and, without any hint of disdain, used it to wipe the sauce off her face.
Meanwhile, Tong Mo, seeing Mengmeng eating greasily, couldn’t help swallowing hard and said with a sly smile, "You know, Chun Meng, as the saying goes, good friends share both joys and sorrows, so shouldn’t you also share some of that sweet and sour pork ribs with me?"
For the sake of delicious food, Tong Mo was willing to risk her own dignity.
"Alright then, just two pieces!" Since she was her long-time best friend, Luo Mengmeng reluctantly handed over the box of sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Mm-hmm... don’t worry, I’ll only take two pieces!" Tong Mo, looking at the delicious-looking pork ribs inside, swallowed hard again and reached out to take some.
Despite saying she’d take only two, she actually took four or five pieces.
Luo Mengmeng’s eyes immediately widened, angrily fixing her gaze on her, "Chun Mo! You said you’d only take two pieces! Put the extras back now!"
"No! No! No!" Tong Mo quickly stuffed the sweet and sour pork ribs into her mouth, licking her tongue over them when she couldn’t fit more.
After licking, she added, "Of course, if you still insist on me giving them back now, then I will!"
After saying this innocently, Tong Mo pretended to return the pork ribs she had licked.
"Horrible!" Luo Mengmeng immediately stepped back in disgust, biting her teeth and shouting, "Tong Mo! I’m severing ties with you!"
"Hehehe..." Tong Mo, with a thick-skinned smile, then slowly continued to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs she had finagled.
Under the Green Poplar Tree, the youthful faces of young boys and girls glowed with innocent smiles, creating a joyous cluster that would become one of their most unforgettable moments.
Suddenly, the three-day college entrance exams were over.
The afternoon after the exams marked the start of summer vacation.
The results of the exams wouldn’t be available until the end of June.
That means there was still half a month before they could find out their exam scores.
For someone like Luo Mengmeng who lacked confidence in herself, it was destined to be a long and agonizing wait.
And particularly during this time, having a "Teddy" around made it all the more unbearable.
"Meng, stop frowning and come do something happy with me," Gu Zhihan said, appearing in her room out of nowhere and embracing her delicate waist from behind.
