As soon as Su Xiaowu finished speaking, a round little head peeked in from the side of the door.
Little Ruanruan, who was already sitting very upright, immediately sat up even straighter, adopting the demeanor of a little teacher, and looked at Sun Jinyu seriously, asking, "Sun Jinyu, why did you come to my house so late? Is there something you need from me?"
Sun Jinyu was discovered, so she stopped hiding and moved her small body out of the darkness.
That's when everyone noticed that he was also carrying a small basket on his back.
He put down the small basket, took out a long string of sausages, and placed them all on the table in front of Xiao Ruanruan.
Not to mention the rest of the family, even Xiao Ruanruan herself was quite surprised. She opened her beautiful, dark eyes wide and asked Sun Jinyu in shock, "For me?"
"Yes!" Sun Jinyu nodded emphatically, "It's for you..."
Although teachers are not allowed to accept gifts, receiving gifts from students is a form of recognition of their teaching.
Little Ruanruan puffed out her little chest with a bit of pride, and was about to sternly refuse Sun Jinyu when she heard Sun Jinyu utter two more words, "Dowry!"
As if afraid that Xiao Ruanruan wouldn't understand, he added, "Teacher Xiao Ruanruan, I've sent you the betrothal gifts before Sun Zhitong. From now on, you can only be my wife, not Sun Zhitong's wife!"
As the tiny Sun Jinyu spoke these words earnestly, everyone at the table, except for Su Xiaowu and Xiao Ruanruan, subconsciously glanced at Gu Chen's expression.
A layer of ice visibly settled on Gu Chen's face, and the cold, sharp gaze in his dark, deep eyes seemed to solidify as it fell on Sun Jinyu, whose small round head had been cut into a standard toilet seat shape.
Sun Jinyu's small body trembled for no reason, and she instinctively looked in Gu Chen's direction.
After looking at it, his body trembled even more. Why was this older brother's gaze a little scary?
With impeccable manners, Gu Chen gently put down his chopsticks, elegantly wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then stood up, naturally putting the sausages that Sun Jinyu had brought back into his basket.
Then, carrying Sun Jinyu in one hand and his basket in the other, he said, "Come on, let's go outside and talk!"
Sun Jinyu was intimidated by Gu Chen's aura. She even forgot that he was a child and could use his privilege of crying and refusing to talk. She just nodded blankly and replied, "Mm."
Xiao Ruanruan originally wanted to stop Gu Chen, after all, Sun Jinyu was like a little chick in Gu Chen's hands, with no fighting power at all. If word got out that their family of teachers was bullying a student, it wouldn't be good.
But now Sun Jinyu has already agreed...
Su Xiaowu was very satisfied with Gu Chen's quick reaction. "My brother Gu Chen really treats my sister like his own sister. His reaction speed is impeccable!"
Su Yiqing and Su Lei both gave Su Xiaowu a disdainful look. Although Su Xiaowu didn't inherit any of the other good genes from the Su family, she inherited his narcissism completely.
Perhaps when he was reincarnated, the God of Love tied all the red threads of fate around him alone, which is why he loves himself so much!
Although Xiao Ruanruan had no reason to stop her brother Gu Chen from talking to classmate Sun Jinyu, she was still worried. She carefully set out the chopsticks and then slipped off to the ground.
Outside the gate, incandescent bulbs installed under the eaves cast a dim, yellowish light in the open space.
Gu Chen slammed Sun Jinyu and his little basket to the ground at the same time, his deep eyes looking at Sun Jinyu with a very oppressive aura, "You are not allowed to send betrothal gifts to Teacher Ruanruan anymore!"
If an adult were under Gu Chen's gaze, they would probably be so frightened that they would want to kneel down long ago.
But Sun Jinyu, young and fearless, managed to steady her legs, which had inexplicably started shaking, and bravely met Gu Chen's gaze, looking into his eyes and asking, "Why?"
I beat Sun Zhitong in a marbles game, so I came to deliver the betrothal gifts to Teacher Xiaoruanruan first!
Gu Chen looked at him coldly, "Did you bring your marbles with you?"
"I...I brought it..." Sun Jinyu said, while subconsciously covering his small purse, as if afraid that Gu Chen would snatch his marbles.
Gu Chen did indeed extend his hand in front of him, "Take out the marbles, and we'll have a competition. If I win, you're not allowed to give Teacher Xiaoruan anything anymore, and you're not allowed to say that Teacher Xiaoruan wants to be your wife."
"What if you lose?" Sun Jinyu asked, mustering her courage.
Gu Chen originally wanted to say that he couldn't possibly lose.
But then he thought about it again. He was new here, and these kids didn't know his strength. Besides, they were stubborn and didn't believe in reasoning. It would be pointless to talk to them.
So, he said very seriously, "If I lose, I'll buy you a truckload of marbles."
Sun Jinyu's eyes lit up. A whole truckload of marbles!
He'll definitely be the man with the most marbles in the whole village, the surrounding area, and even the whole town!
Everyone will envy him!
Thinking this, he was filled with anticipation for a bright future, and even nodded excitedly like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, okay, I'll have a competition with you, but you can't go back on your word if you lose, let's make a pinky promise!"
He held up his little finger in front of Gu Chen and said, "To be fair, if I lose, I will not only stop giving Teacher Xiao Ruan Ruan gifts in the future and stop saying she's my wife, but I will also give you all my marbles!"
Gu Chen's face darkened. Who would want a little kid's marbles?
Make him pinky swear with a little brat?
That's utter nonsense, okay?
"Pinky promise, never to change, whoever changes is a little yellow dog!" Gu Chen extended his little finger and tugged at Sun Jinyu's finger, then immediately withdrew his hand in disgust.
Sun Jinyu then generously took out a handful of marbles from her pocket and gave ten to Gu Chen.
He took ten himself, then ran to a spot on the edge of the dam that wasn't paved with cement, found a wooden stick of suitable size, and used all his strength to poke two deep holes in the ground. He straightened up and said, "Done!"
After the hole was dug, Sun Jinyu returned to Gu Chen's side, took a marble, placed it on the ground, and flicked it into one of the holes with her thumb and forefinger.
He placed the second marble and noticed that Gu Chen was still motionless. He glanced at Gu Chen and said, "Why aren't you playing? Whoever gets all ten marbles into the hole first wins. You don't actually know how to play marbles, do you?"
How dare someone who can't even play marbles challenge him to a match? Is this guy an idiot? He could almost see a whole truckload of beautiful marbles waving at him.
"Playing marbles? Of course I can do something as simple as that," Gu Chen replied casually.
