Chapter 87: Chapter 87: I Would Never Lie
“How could there not be…” Mengmeng replied.
At their age, when they could only reach out to their parents for money, there was more or less something they wanted to buy but couldn’t afford.
“I want to buy cream puffs, but I can’t afford them.”
A cream puff costs five yuan, but her daily pocket money was only one yuan. In fact, she could save up for a few days and buy a puff, but she… just couldn’t save at all!
“Then take this opportunity to ask your dad or mom for more!”
Lu Zichen winked at her, offering her a suggestion.
“This…” Despite Mengmeng still hesitating, she was actually starting to be tempted. Just when she was about to say ‘I plan to give it a try,’ Gu Zhihan, who had been looking down at his book, suddenly fixed his gaze on her without lifting his head.
His pupils were profoundly deep, like the vast universe of stars. Although his expression was calm, it gave off an unsettling feeling, as if a massive storm was brewing.
And whether this “storm” would break depended on Luo Mengmeng’s answer!
Immediately, Mengmeng’s heart raced, and she couldn’t help but swallow hard.
She had a strong feeling that if she dared to say those words ‘I plan to give it a try,’ he would probably strangle her!
After all, Gu Zhihan detested liars the most!
“Mengmeng?” Seeing that she wasn’t speaking and was just daydreaming, Lu Zichen waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Mengmeng snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head like a rattle drum, “No, I still shouldn’t do things like that, because lying isn’t good, and I would be dead if my mom found out…”
And her husband would be disappointed in her too!
Hearing her say this, Gu Zhihan finally withdrew his gaze and continued reading his book.
Yeah, she’s still quite obedient.
Luo Mengmeng quietly smoothed her heart that was still thumping wildly.
She had given the right answer, and the storm was averted… it was just a pity that she couldn’t get the eagerly awaited cream puffs any time soon.
“Tch, scaredy-cat!” Lu Zichen, seeing that he hadn’t managed to drag someone else into his scheme, pursed his lips and went off to discuss the finer points of “swindling money from parents” with Tong Mo.
Mengmeng puffed out her cheeks: “…”
You’re the scaredy-cat, and all eighteen generations of your family are, too!
On Arbor Day, as soon as Mengmeng arrived in the classroom early in the morning, she saw Tong Mo’s desk piled high with her favorite beautiful girl stickers.
As for Lu Zichen’s desk, it had the latest gaming console and Transformers.
Those two seemed as if they had moved the sticker store and the toy store into the classroom.
“This is too extravagant!” Mengmeng couldn’t help but gasp and hurried to their desks.
Apparently, they really took the opportunity to ask their parents for a lot of money this time…
Gu Zhihan, who had followed behind her into the classroom, saw her envious look and furrowed his brows, then seemed to think of something, turned around, and left the room.
Only the careless Mengmeng had not noticed.
“Jealous, huh? That’s what you get for not taking the chance to ask your parents for more money,” Lu Zichen looked at her with a pitying expression.
“Exactly,” Tong Mo also looked up, echoing, “If you had asked for more money this time, wouldn’t you be able to buy the cream puffs you’ve been craving?”
“I, I would never lie…” Mengmeng was already feeling envious, jealous, and resentful towards the two of them, and hearing them mock her only stoked her irritation, “Hmph, I can’t be bothered with you two!”
