Gu Luo was silent for a moment. Looking at the stubbornness in her eyes, he felt like his heart was gently bumped by something.
He knew that although Gu Ximan looked silly at ordinary times, once she made up her mind, she would never let go easily. Moreover, it was her right to "get married and become a bride", and he had no right to refuse.
He slowly raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair, his voice low and gentle: "Okay."
As soon as the word "OK" came out of her mouth, Gu Ximan's eyes lit up instantly, as if stars fell into her eyes.
She didn't say anything else, but just threw herself into his arms happily, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
Scored twice.
Her cold tea-brown hair danced gently in the sunlight as she moved, and the ends of her hair brushed across his cheek, carrying the warmth of the sun and a fresh breath that belonged only to her.
The sun's rays still shone warmly on the quilt. The only sounds in the room were the breathing of the two people, mixed with the occasional birdsong outside the window. It was quiet and intimate.
Gu Luo closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms, and sighed softly in his heart, feeling very guilty.
The competition for the "bride" has just begun.
At this moment, he just wanted to enjoy this rare time alone and enjoy the tenderness of the early morning that belonged to the two of them.
After exercising in the morning, the two took a shower together, but...it took another hour.
Wearing Mingde's new school uniform, Gu Luo leaned against the sofa in the living room, watching Gu Ximan skipping out of the bathroom - the girl had a high ponytail with tiny water droplets on the ends of her hair, and the collar of her white bathrobe was loose, revealing a small patch of red collarbone.
Although it had just ended, she didn't look tired at all. Her eyes were as bright as light bulbs that had just been charged, and even her steps were light and bouncey.
Gu Luo finally couldn't help but speak, with a hint of helpless curiosity in his tone: "Xiao Man, you have been weak since you were a child. You always wear an extra coat when it is windy or rainy. How come...?"
He paused here and scratched his cheek lightly with his fingertips. He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but the "doubt" in his eyes was obvious - How come you are so fierce in this aspect?
Gu Ximan pouted when she heard that, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she raised her chin proudly, walked a few steps closer to Gu Luo, stood on tiptoe and poked his arm:
"Humph, that's nothing! If I wasn't afraid that you, stinky brother, would die young and have no one to play with me in the future, I wouldn't let you go."
As she said this, her eyes curved into crescents, but there was a hint of cunning "threat" in her eyes, like a kitten with an itchy paw.
Gu Luo shuddered for no reason and subconsciously shrank his shoulders back. He had experienced Gu Ximan's strength in the past few days.
Its comprehensive strength is equivalent to one and a half Lu Xuexue, two Luo Shuhe, and four Luo Shuning.
Even someone as strong as Gu Luo couldn't say he could defeat this girl 100%.
He raised his hand and rubbed his brow. Just as he was about to say something else, the doorbell suddenly rang, interrupting their conversation.
"Who is it?"
Gu Ximan tilted her head in confusion. Gu Luo had already stood up and walked towards the entrance. His fingertips rested on the door handle, and he squinted through the peephole first. The beautiful tall girl standing outside the door was wearing the winter uniform of Mingde Middle School. Her navy blue jacket was zipped up to her chest, with a silver school badge pinned to her collar. She was wearing a light gray pleated skirt, and her slender calves were tightly wrapped in thick black straight socks with small white patterns embroidered on the sock cuffs. The black leather shoes on her feet were polished to a shine.
It was Shen Qingling.
Gu Luo remembered that when Gu Ximan fainted last time, Shen Qingling helped contact a doctor and stayed by her side the whole time. He suddenly had no reason to refuse.
He gently turned the door open. As soon as the door opened a crack, Shen Qingling raised his head and a refreshing smile appeared on his face.
"Little crazy girl, why are you here?"
Gu Ximan's voice came from the living room, with a hint of "hostility" that was barely noticeable.
The hand that was originally resting on the armrest of the sofa was instantly placed on the waist, his cheeks were puffed out, and even the corners of his eyes had a little angry arc.
Shen Qingling didn't pay attention to her tone. Instead, he smiled and walked sideways into the entrance. He put the bag on his shoulder on the shoe cabinet with a neat and casual movement:
"Why, sister, don't you welcome the upstairs neighbor to come and eat?"
As she spoke, she bent down to change her shoes without any sign of awkwardness, as if she was returning to her own home.
"You, you, you, you...you are really haunting!"
Gu Ximan was so angry. Where was the world of two people they had agreed on?
Gu Luo stood aside, looking at the scene in front of him. With these two girls getting together, it was likely to be lively again.
Gu Ximan wanted to say something more, but Shen Qingling had already stood up and said in a brisk tone:
"I'm hungry, your sister-in-law. Ask your brother to cook quickly."
Having said that, he walked towards the living room on his own, not considering himself an "outsider" at all.
