Chapter 642 Gu Luolai Picks People Up The afternoon sun at two o'clock shone through the plane tree leaves in the old neighborhood, casting soft shadows in the corridor.
Lin Han stood in the entryway changing her shoes. The hem of her light pink dress just covered her knees, and the daisies embroidered on the hem swayed gently with her movements.
As she bent down to tie the laces of her ankle boots, the lines of her calves, encased in white stockings, were perfectly straight, making her ankles appear exceptionally slender—this was the most satisfying outfit she had chosen after rummaging through her wardrobe, and she even had a small white velvet flower pinned behind her ear, specially prepared for seeing Luo Shuning.
Indeed, Lin Han had made thorough preparations to meet this girl who could be considered his inner demon.
Lin's father leaned against the doorframe, still clutching a rag he used to wipe the table, and couldn't help but smile and praise his daughter's sweet attire and light makeup.
"Our Hanhan looks even prettier than movie stars today."
Lin's mother circled her twice, gently touching the hem of her skirt with her fingers, her eyes full of wonder:
"That's right, I always said our daughter suits a sweet girl style, she just dresses too plainly on weekdays."
"I think Hanhan looks best in a white dress paired with white sneakers."
"Hehe, all men are like that."
"Didn't you win me over back then with your white dress and white sneakers?"
"Pah! You old lecher."
Listening to her parents' daily bickering, Lin Han blinked at the dressing mirror in the entryway. Just as she was about to say, "I'm leaving," her mother reached out to help her smooth the stray hairs on her forehead—even though her hairstyle was already neat, a mother can't help but want to add a little more presence.
Just then, the phone in the small white bag slung across my shoulder suddenly started vibrating.
He took out his phone, and the screen lit up, with the words "Gu Luo" standing out prominently.
Lin Han made no attempt to hide anything, pressing the answer button directly, her voice clear and crisp:
"Hello?"
"Lin Han," came Gu Luo's gentle voice from the other end of the phone, with a slight rustling sound like the wind, "I'll be downstairs at your apartment complex in a bit."
"Okay, I was just about to go downstairs." Lin Han glanced down at her newly tied leather shoes:
"See you in a bit."
"Okay, see you in a bit."
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and met the suddenly tense faces of Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Lin's mother stepped forward, her hand still suspended in mid-air, her voice slightly strained: "This Gu Luo... is he with you too?"
“Yes…” Lin Han nodded and casually put her phone back into her bag.
“I’ve never met Luo Shuning before, so it’ll be less awkward if Gu Luo goes with me.”
"Why didn't you say so this morning?" Mr. Lin put down the rag and strode to the entrance.
Seeing her parents' somewhat nervous expressions, Lin Han couldn't help but laugh out loud, tilting her head as she retorted:
"You two were so busy asking me this morning if I was in a relationship, you didn't even ask who else was with me."
These words left Mr. and Mrs. Lin speechless.
Lin Han shook her head helplessly: "Alright, the misunderstanding has been cleared up, hasn't it? Gu Luo and I are just ordinary classmates, so stop overthinking it."
“We’re not just overthinking things…” Lin’s mother held her hand, then looked at Lin’s father, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Mr. Lin immediately understood, cleared his throat, and spoke with a hint of cautious expectation:
"Hanhan, can we... come downstairs with you? Your mother and I really love Gu Luo's songs and want to meet the boy in person."
"Of course!" Lin Han smiled and patted the small crossbody bag, the zipper clicking open.
"The pens and notebooks are all ready. I'll get a few of his autographs for you later, which can be a reward for the students in the class who do well on the test."
"Really?" Lin's mother's face lit up instantly. Since she didn't have time to change, she turned and ran to the shoe cabinet, her slippers clicking loudly as she pulled out a pair of worn black leather shoes. She put on socks and slipped them on.
"You guys have no idea, all the girls in my class talk about how amazing and beautiful Gu Luo is in front of me every day, and they even call him 'God Gu'."
"The girls in our class are the same..." Lin's father said, and he also hurriedly went back to his room to change into a clean shirt, buttoning it twice as fast as usual.
Lin Han recalled Gu Luo's first day at Mingde School and his usual behavior in class, and couldn't help but laugh:
