Chapter 103 Uncle Dan is more suitable for you
"Zhao Zhao, you're finally back! I've been so bored these past two weeks by myself." Guan Xiang hugged Gu Zhao Di tightly as she entered the classroom.
The girl, holding a water glass in one hand, patted Guan Xiang's shoulder with the other. "Xiangxiang, can we make a deal? Could you hug me a little more gently?"
She felt like Guan Xiang was about to strangle her neck, and her chest felt tight, making it hard to breathe.
Guan Xiang finally managed to get emotional, but the girl's words ruined the atmosphere.
"Zhao Zhao, you've changed. You don't love me anymore. You even despise me." Guan Xiang's words were full of sadness, but she released the girl's body.
Seeing Guan Xiang's dramatic expression, clutching her chest and pretending to be heartbroken, Gu Zhaodi wanted to laugh, but she comforted her, "No way, you're the one I love the most."
The girl who had spent a lot of time with Guan Xiang also learned to express her love verbally. She would also act coquettishly towards those close to her, appearing lively and cheerful.
Guan Xiang was very satisfied with the girl's answer.
"Why did you change your cup?" Guan Xiang noticed the yellow water cup on the girl's table. The Winnie the Pooh design was nicer than her previous white one.
Gu Zhaodi glanced at the water glass with her soft, starry eyes, and said with a smile, "This is a new one that Uncle Dan bought for me, specifically for holding milk."
Guan Xiang blinked and silently swallowed.
Uncle Dan is really treating Zhao Zhao like a child these days; the pampered CEO would actually buy such an adorable water bottle.
"Are you still drinking two cups of milk a day?"
She had only heard a little about Uncle Dan making Zhao Zhao drink milk every day.
Gu Zhaodi shook her head, her voice gentle, "Now it's three cups a day, here's the extra cup."
Guan Xiang shook the rather heavy glass of milk, feeling sorry for Zhao Zhao.
She has never liked drinking milk since she was a child, and she thinks that pure milk has a strange taste, so she naturally felt that Zhao Zhao would not like to drink it either.
"Zhao Zhao, you've worked hard." Guan Xiang said to Gu Zhaodi out of the blue, leaving her completely confused.
"What hardship have I endured?"
“Milk tastes so bad, yet you drink three cups a day. It’s really unfair to you,” Guan Xiang sighed earnestly.
“I think milk tastes pretty good.” Gu Zhaodi said with a serious expression.
At this moment, Guan Xiang felt as if the sky was about to fall. She had always thought that Uncle Dan had forced Zhao Zhao to drink.
Just as I was about to say something, Deng Xixue walked over with a box in her hand.
When Deng Xixue reached the girl's seat, she seemed a little awkward and hesitated slightly, "I heard you were in a car accident. This is some supplement I brought for you. You should take good care of yourself."
The girl's bright, direct gaze made Deng Xixue stiffen, and her eyes darted away slightly.
"Thank you!" Gu Zhaodi didn't show any particular expression, she just smiled and thanked her.
After giving a soft "hmm," Deng Xixue placed the supplements on the girl's table and hurriedly returned to her seat.
Guan Xiang glanced at the expensive tonics on the table and sighed softly, "Deng Xixue really knows how to spend money!"
Gu Zhaodi turned the supplement box around and asked, "Is this very expensive?"
She really couldn't see anything special about it; it looked no different from an ordinary supplement box.
Guan Xiang explained to her, "This is top-quality fish maw, which is said to be as precious as gold. This box probably costs several million."
Her fingers, which had been resting on the supplement box, instantly withdrew. She stared blankly at the box, unconsciously swallowing hard, her voice trembling slightly, "Is this thing worth millions?"
Guan Xiang nodded, surprised that Deng Xixue had suddenly become so generous. Even if she was provoked by Ji Hao and Lin Wen's affair, she shouldn't be this crazy.
Just then, I saw Zhao Zhao pick up the box and head towards Deng Xixue's seat.
Gu Zhaodi placed the tonics worth millions back in front of Deng Xixue, saying, "I can't accept this. You can take it back."
Deng Xixue's pretty face furrowed slightly. "Don't you like it?"
Gu Zhaodi glanced at Deng Xixue with her clear eyes and shook her head. "No, it's just that this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Deng Xixue pursed her lips and asked, "But shouldn't you be happy that this thing is expensive?"
In Deng Xixue's view, the more expensive the gift, the better.
After all, the gifts she used to give to Lin Wen and her little follower were all chosen by them themselves, and they were basically things worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The price of these items was just a portion of her monthly allowance, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The girl lowered her eyes slightly; she seemed to have discovered someone who could rival Uncle Dan's extravagance.
"Well, a gift is about the thought, not the price. This supplement is beyond my means, so I can't accept it."
Sometimes she felt that Deng Xixue was actually quite pitiful, having a childhood friend like Ji Hao who was two-faced and two-faced, and then encountering Lin Wen who was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.
They didn't want the supplement because it was too expensive, and also because they didn't have a deep relationship. As ordinary classmates, this thing was far too valuable.
Seeing that the girl was determined not to accept the gift, Deng Xixue had no choice but to take it back, feeling somewhat dejected.
The girl looked at Deng Xixue, who was hanging her head, thought for a moment, and then whispered, "Thank you for your concern."
Deng Xixue watched the girl's departing figure, her eyes slightly reddening.
She actually longed to have a good friend, but Gu Zhaodi didn't seem to want to be her friend.
This was entirely Deng Xixue's own wild imagination; the girl had no idea that this was Deng Xixue's way of showing goodwill.
When they got back, Guan Xiang came over and asked, "Did she do this to thank you for listening to her cry last time?"
The fact that Deng Xixue cried in the pavilion wasn't something the girl, Da Zui, told Guan Xiang. Since Guan Xiang had tacitly agreed to pretend not to know about it, she would keep it to herself.
No matter how much she planned, she hadn't expected that she wouldn't be the only one to see Deng Xixue cry that day.
However, everyone was intimidated by Deng Xixue's domineering reputation and did not dare to go up to comfort her. The next day, the whole school was abuzz with the news of her crying.
"Probably, otherwise why would they send me such expensive supplements?" The girl thought it made sense.
He didn't think Deng Xixue was trying to win his favor at all; giving a gift was just the first step, but he didn't expect the girl to reject him right away.
......
"Zhao Zhao, are you going to celebrate Children's Day again this year?" Guan Xiang watched the girl packing her schoolbag, a scene that seemed exactly the same as when she left the classroom at noon last year.
Gu Zhaodi stuffed her water bottle into her schoolbag and said with a smile, "Uncle Dan said this is my last Children's Day, so I must celebrate it properly."
In two months, it will be the girl's eighteenth birthday, and Dan Anwen wants to spend one last Children's Day with her to bring her childhood to a perfect end.
Guan Xiang looked at him with a hint of envy, "You went to Children's Day, but I'm here taking classes. Why didn't God give me a gentle Uncle Dan?"
Gu Zhaodi asked jokingly, "If Uncle Dan treated you this gently, would you be able to accept it?"
She's been feeling more and more that Uncle Dan's attitude towards her seems different from his attitude towards others.
When facing others, he is a refined and aloof young nobleman, but in front of her, he is a gentle and refined gentleman.
Following the girl's words, Guan Xiang put herself in her shoes, and her body instinctively broke out in goosebumps.
Uncle Dan, whom she had known since childhood, had always been a serious and aloof figure. If Uncle Dan were to treat her gently, she might immediately run away from the scene.
This behavior is inconsistent with one's public image.
"Then forget it, Uncle Dan is more suitable for you." Guan Xiang waved her hand. Her respect for Uncle Dan was not just talk; it was something ingrained in her bones.
Dan Si and Yao Xin went into the classroom after lunch and heard Guan Xiang's last words.
Yao Xin asked in confusion, "What kind of Uncle Dan would be suitable for Zhao Zhao? And where are you going, Zhao Zhao?"
Seeing that the girl had her schoolbag slung over her shoulder, Yao Xin glanced at her twice.
"I don't want to answer your earlier questions, but I can answer your later ones." Guan Xiang didn't want to be hurt alone; she wanted to find a few people to share in the misery of others celebrating the holiday while she was in class.
"Uncle Dan is going to take Zhao Zhao to celebrate Children's Day."
Dan Si and Yao Xin blinked in disbelief at what they had just heard.
Dan Si's reaction was particularly strong; his previous lazy attitude was completely changed, and he asked in a shocked tone, "My uncle actually knows that there is a Children's Day on June 1st?"
Gu Zhaodi had to rub salt in his wounds again, her soft, sweet tone carrying icy daggers aimed at Dan Si, "Uncle Dan took me to celebrate Children's Day once last year."
Dan Si and Yao Xin's mouths were agape enough to fit an egg.
The girl glanced at the time; Uncle Dan would be arriving at school soon. She then ignored the two who were standing there dumbfounded and left the classroom with her backpack on.
