Gu Zhihan moved his lips, clearly having a bellyful of words to say, but in the end, he only mustered one sentence, "Make sure to stay safe over there."
"Don’t worry, I will!" After hugging him, Mengmeng rubbed her little head against his chest.
Gu Zhihan affectionately stroked her head and said, "I’ll take you to school."
That way, he could look at her a little longer.
Luo Mengmeng was over the moon.
Then, the two of them, hand in hand, walked towards the university.
In the cold winter season, it was really cold, but at that moment, Mengmeng felt warm all over.
It was because he was by her side.
Once they reached the school gate, Mengmeng waved at Gu Zhihan, "Don’t worry about me, I can go in on my own. You should hurry to the company."
Ever since he started his company, even though he didn’t say it, Mengmeng knew he had a lot to do every day.
Even though she wanted to stay with him a bit longer, Mengmeng didn’t have the heart to delay his work.
Gu Zhihan nodded, but in the end, he stayed until he saw her enter the school and completely disappear from his line of sight before leaving.
On her end, when Mengmeng bounced into the classroom, she found Cheng Suisui lying on the desk crying.
"Suisui, why are you crying? Has someone bullied you?" Mengmeng quickly ran up, worriedly asking, while taking out a tissue from her pocket to offer her.
"Wuwu... Mengmeng, my parents won’t let me go with you to help the injured," Cheng Suisui lifted her face from the desk, her eyes red from crying, as she looked at Luo Mengmeng.
Luo Mengmeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was something serious. Your parents don’t want you to go, and that’s for your own good. Your body probably can’t handle the exhaustion from travel."
Moreover, the disaster scene would be covered in blood and dining and accommodation facilities would likely be poor, so her body would probably suffer even more.
"But I, I want to help rescue people too..."
Cheng Suisui suddenly hated her frail body to the point of despair, saying, "If only I had a healthy body like you guys."
"Suisui..." Mengmeng looked at her , her heart aching, and she patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Even if you can’t personally go and help the injured, you can still do other things within your reach, like donating more money, or buying some supplies for the disaster area."
Cheng Suisui, who was deeply upset, nodded her head after hearing this, "Right, why didn’t I think of that!"
Seeing her come around, Mengmeng also felt reassured.
Soon the car arrived, and Mengmeng had to leave.
"Mengmeng, you have to be safe," Cheng Suisui said with reluctance, and also bombarded her with a whole list of concerns like a nagging housekeeper.
"I’ve heard it gets especially cold there at night, so make sure to cover yourself with the blanket, and also drink plenty of hot water..." Blah blah blah.
Mengmeng’s ears were about to form calluses from listening, she couldn’t help but interrupt, "Suisui, you’re even more long-winded than my mom."
Cheng Suisui sheepishly touched her nose.
Just then, Jiang Yibai arrived, his hands carrying a big bag stuffed with snacks, "Mengmeng, I bought you some snacks. Take these with you."
As he spoke, he handed all the snacks in his hands to Mengmeng.
If one were to look closely, they would notice all these snacks were Mengmeng’s favorite kinds.
