Chapter 151 A Man's Words Are Deceptive
This is often a deadly question; men whose answers don't meet the girl's expectations may face further existential questioning.
Dan Anwen remained calm and answered slowly and clearly: "First, you shouldn't tease children casually; second, you shouldn't fail to comfort children; and third, you shouldn't make children cry."
As she spoke, she wiped away the tears from the corners of Gu Ji's eyes with her fingertips. Seeing the misty look in her eyes, her heart ached.
The man admitted his mistake in a serious manner, as if he were giving a report. Gu Ji wanted to laugh a little, but she still wanted to give him the cold shoulder to prevent him from making the same mistake again.
"Then why didn't you comfort me just now?" Gu Ji pouted, intending to pick a fight.
Dan Anwen moved the watch in front of her eyes. Gu Ji was puzzled, but still tried to blink her eyes to see it more clearly.
"What time is it now?" Dan Anwen's deep voice sounded above her head.
Gu Ji sniffed his red nose and said in a muffled voice, "12:03, what's wrong?"
Seeing her puzzled look, Dan Anwen curled her lips and said, "It's already the second day. When you gave your opinion just now, it was exactly 59 minutes past the hour."
The man was like a cunning old fox, using every trick in the book to manipulate the girl.
Gu Ji stared in disbelief at the simple reason given, but she was in a bad mood and didn't want to reason with anyone.
"So you still want to give me the cold shoulder," Gu Ji said unreasonably.
Dan Anwen gazed at the fine whorl of hair on her head with a doting expression and smiled, "Alright, I shouldn't have said those things. How can you forgive me, little one?"
As he spoke, he cupped her tear-streaked face and carefully wiped away the tears from her cheeks.
Gu Ji tilted her head, a sly glint flashing in her eyes so quick that even the man didn't notice. "Whatever conditions I propose, you'll agree to them?"
Dan Anwen gave a soft "hmm".
"Then you're not allowed to kiss me today."
"This one won't do, let's choose another one." Dan Anwen decisively refused.
There aren't many opportunities to be close to children to begin with, so wouldn't this completely cut off today's perk?
Gu Ji pursed his lips. Just now he said he would listen to her, but now he's saying no so quickly, without even thinking.
Dan Anwen patiently replied, "Anything but this will do."
"A man's words are deceitful." Gu Ji thought Guan Xiang's words made a lot of sense.
Dan Anwen curled his thin lips into a smile, his handsome eyes revealing amusement. "I'm a good man, I would never lie to you."
Gu Ji felt that this sentence sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before.
After trying hard to recall, she remembered that when she first met Uncle Dan, he seemed to have said that he was a good person.
Seeing that he sincerely admitted his mistake, Gu Ji did not make things difficult for him any further.
The two spent too much time at the entrance of the Nightfall Hotel. By the time Dan Anwen brought Gu Ji home, she was already asleep in the passenger seat.
Dan Anwen drove the car into the underground parking garage and gently and tenderly picked up Gu Ji in a princess carry.
The moment he picked her up, she murmured something softly. Dan Anwen leaned closer to listen, but couldn't make out what she said.
The dim lighting in the basement illuminated the man's high, straight nose, and the gentle light reflected behind his glasses was captivating.
When he carried Gu Ji to the living room, he startled Guo Guo and Tang Tang in the room. They came towards the man with their big, fleshy paws clattering.
Dan'an heard their footsteps, frowned slightly, and gave them a warning look.
Guoguo is a highly intelligent German Shepherd. When it saw Gu Ji sleeping in Dan Anwen's arms, it deliberately slowed down its footsteps, and Tangtang followed suit.
Seeing that the two dogs had calmed down, Dan Anwen gave them an approving look and decided in his heart to open a can of food for them tomorrow.
Completely unaware that happiness was about to arrive, the two dogs stood there watching Dan Anwen carry Gu Ji and disappear down the stairs before slowly returning to their room to sleep.
The dress Gu Ji was wearing made Dan Anwen a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he simply took off her shoes, went to the bathroom to find some makeup remover, and gently removed the makeup from her face.
She was probably too tired and sleepy to be awakened by the man's clumsy but gentle movements.
After gazing at her quiet, petite face for a moment, the man gently touched her cheek, whispered "Goodnight," turned off the light, and left her room.
......
"Sisi, Zhaozhao, are you ready?" Mother Dan glanced at the wall clock; there were only two minutes left until the college entrance exam results were released.
The whole family sat around in the living room, with two laptops on the coffee table. They had been sitting on the sofa for almost five minutes.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense before the results were announced; those five short minutes felt like centuries.
Gu Ji glanced at the man sitting next to her and silently prayed that she wouldn't fail the exam, otherwise wouldn't the distance between them be even greater?
Dan Anwen sensed Gu Ji's unease and quietly reached his hand between the two of them, tightly holding her soft little hand.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Ji became even more nervous the moment his hand was shaken, afraid of being discovered by Dan Mu and the others, so he tried to pull away slightly.
Who knew that the man next to her had no intention of letting go at all; instead, he clasped her hands even tighter, and there was a hint that their fingers were about to interlock.
Gu Jishui glared at him with innocent, harmless eyes, her warning gaze lingering on him. Unexpectedly, he went even further, directly stroking her palm with his slender, well-proportioned fingers.
Having no other choice, Gu Ji mouthed, "Let go, please."
Seeing that the corners of her eyes were red, Dan Anwen stopped teasing her and released her hand without changing his expression.
The next second, Dan Si, who was squatting on the ground, exclaimed, "Seven hundred and five, it really is not a penny more or less!"
Dan's mother pushed Dan Si, who was squatting on the ground, aside and looked at the computer. Even Dan's usually calm father quietly moved to the side of the computer.
"You're something else, you've really crossed the line." Dan's mother laughed and patted Dan Si, who was sprawled on the carpet. "Just wait for Nan'an University's call."
Even higher education institutions inevitably face competition for top students; the competition between schools may seem invisible, but it is ubiquitous.
Dan Si's score was five or six points higher than the minimum score for the Computer Science Department of Nan'an University in previous years. As long as the score does not fluctuate much this year, he will be able to get into Nan'an University smoothly.
"Go and call your mom and dad right away." Dan's father smiled, showing his kindness to Dan Si for the first time.
It's quite a miracle that this grandson could go from being a school bully to a top student.
Dan Si concealed his earlier silly grin, reverting to his usual nonchalant attitude, "I understand, I'll call them right now."
Before Dan Si could even get up, his phone rang. He knew without looking that it was Jing Rou and Dan Shuwen calling to ask about his grades.
