The noisy cafeteria returned to its usual bustling state, but the slight awkwardness at the tables lingered for a while.
Just like at Guangya, my days at Mingde flew by amidst the noisy breaks between classes and the friction of pens on paper.
Of course, most of the time is spent playing on mobile phones and participating in club activities.
When Gu Luo pushed open the apartment door, the setting sun was casting warm, dappled light on the floor through the sheer curtains of the balcony.
Gu Ximan was the first to rush in, and her newly changed leather shoes were kicked into the corner of the entryway with a "thud".
Like a runaway pony, she bounced and jumped onto the sofa, hugging a cushion and laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, her stomach aching from laughing: "You jerk, you were so bad at the cafeteria today! Everyone saw right through you, I almost injured myself trying to hold back my laughter, hahaha..."
Shen Qingling followed behind and entered the room. She had just changed into slippers when she noticed a pair of small leather shoes lying crookedly next to the shoe cabinet—the toes were still a little dusty, and the shoelaces were loosely dragging on the ground.
She was a clean freak and couldn't stand things being left out in a mess. She frowned and glanced at Gu Ximan on the sofa, but ultimately said nothing. She bent down to pick up the little leather shoes, skillfully tied the shoelaces, and stood on tiptoe to place them on the top shelf of the shoe cabinet, neatly arranging them next to her high heels.
Well, despite the complaints and struggles, we still have to spoil them when they deserve it.
Even in terms of age, she is younger than Gu Ximan.
Gu Luo changed her shoes, draped her coat over the coat rack in the entryway, rolled her eyes at the comment, walked over, leaned back on the sofa armrest, and stared at Gu Ximan with a forced smile:
"Xiaoman, you look so energetic, it seems you did very well on the joint exam this time?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Gu Ximan's arrogance.
Her smile froze, instantly transforming from "Xixi is happy" to "No, Xixi is unhappy." Her eyes darted around, and her right hand unconsciously twirled a strand of cool, dark brown hair that fell over her shoulder, trying to get away with it with a cute act.
"Hey, grades are such a trivial matter, nothing beats the fun of being teased, bro..."
Gu Luo wasn't buying it. He leaned down, reached out, and grabbed her ankle, which was resting on the edge of the sofa.
Gu Ximan's ankles were slender, and he could feel her delicate skin even through her thin cotton socks. With a little force, he pulled the socks off her heels.
A pair of crystal-clear little feet were revealed, with toes round like tiny pearls, soles of the feet tinged with a faint pink, and toenails neatly trimmed.
"What are you doing, you stinky old man!" Gu Ximan was about to pull her foot back when Gu Luo's fingertips tickled the sole of her foot.
"Itchy...it itches! Hahaha...it's killing me with its itch!"
She instantly lost her composure, rolling around on the sofa, kicking the cushions to the floor, laughing through tears. "Brother, I was wrong... I'll never laugh at you again... Please let me go, hahaha..."
"Don't you like to laugh? Keep laughing." Gu Luo teased her, but his fingertips stopped, and he wiped his fingers, which had just touched the soles of her feet, with his clothes in an annoyed manner.
Of course, it wasn't dirty at all; I was just teasing her on purpose.
"Spend half an hour less on your phone at night, and let Qingling tutor you. Don't always hold you back."
"Huh? I don't want to!"
Gu Ximan immediately sprang up from the sofa like a bristling hedgehog: "Letting that crazy girl teach is worse than killing me! I want you to tutor me, brother!"
"No, I'll use Qingling Supplement to teach you a lesson." Gu Luo's attitude was firm and unmoved.
Gu Ximan, unable to contain her anger, pounced on him barefoot, pressed her little feet in front of his face, and kicked him twice, saying angrily:
"Hmph, those fragrant feet, they'll make you swoon!"
Gu Luo's lips twitched, but he didn't move the "pig's trotter" away.
A faint strawberry scent lingered around my nose.
This girl uses strawberry-scented perfume every morning before going out. And sure enough, after wearing shoes all day, her feet not only don't smell bad at all, but they actually have a sweet fragrance.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly—girls are such terrifying creatures, even their feet smell sweet.
Shen Qingling walked over with a freshly poured glass of warm water and happened to see this scene.
She didn't speak, but stood quietly to the side, her gaze falling on Gu Ximan's little foot that was stepping on Gu Luo's face. A few seconds later, she slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on her own feet in cotton slippers. Her long eyelashes drooped down, obscuring the emotions in her eyes, as if she were plotting something.
