However, what Gu Rong did not expect was that the bedroom was empty.
Gu Rong was stunned for a second, and soon realized that Pei Tiantian should have gone to sleep next door.
Looking at the empty house, Gu Rong felt inexplicably lost.
He closed the bedroom door gently and returned to his room.
At this time, Pei Tiantian was lying next to Wang Ruizhen.
Wang Ruizhen was worried about Pei Tiantian being alone in the bedroom, and what would happen if she felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night, so she asked Pei Tiantian to sleep with her so that she could take care of her if anything happened.
Pei Tiantian felt that there was no need to be so exaggerated, as if she was making herself look sick.
But looking at Wang Ruizhen's concerned eyes, Pei Tiantian felt warm in her heart.
She nestled in Wang Ruizhen's arms, smelling Wang Ruizhen's familiar scent, feeling extremely safe, and unconsciously called out coquettishly: "Milk."
Wang Ruizhen: "Good boy, go to bed early. If it still hurts tomorrow, we will ask for leave from school and let you rest at home for a few days."
Pei Tiantian shook her head when she heard this: "No, I have a lot of things to do at school. I can't ask for leave, otherwise it will delay too many things."
Wang Ruizhen: "What can a few days of time delay?"
Pei Tiantian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As a senior high school student, if she didn't go to school for a few days, her desk would be covered with countless homework and test papers, right? Her grandmother thought it was too simple.
Although Pei Tiantian felt uncomfortable, it was not to the point where she could not bear it. Besides, she would have her period every month from now on. If it was like this every time, it would be a big deal. So no matter what, Pei Tiantian refused to ask for leave.
Wang Ruizhen sighed and looked at her granddaughter's pale little face, feeling very fond of her.
Wang Ruizhen actually felt a little regretful. She regretted having agreed to let Pei Tiantian skip a grade.
Pei Tiantian is only twelve years old now, but she has to bear such a heavy study burden with a group of teenagers who are seventeen or eighteen years old. How can her body bear it?
Wang Ruizhen felt sorry for Pei Tiantian, but she also knew that her granddaughter was now a very independent person with her own ideas. Since she was willing to insist, Wang Ruizhen couldn't say anything.
After getting up the next day, Pei Tiantian felt that her lower abdomen was only slightly painful, which was much better than yesterday.
Wang Ruizhen specially made a large bowl of brown sugar ginger water for Pei Tiantian and watched her drink it.
Gu Rong also got up, packed up, and came over from next door to have breakfast.
Pei Tiantian was holding a bowl that was bigger than her face and happened to meet Gu Rong's eyes.
Gu Rong noticed that the bowl in Pei Tiantian's hand was filled with dark red water.
He asked, “What are you drinking?
Pei Tiantian: "This is brown sugar ginger water."
Gu Rong: "Why do you want to drink this?"
Pei Tiantian: "Because brown sugar ginger water can replenish blood and dispel cold."
She said it cryptically, thinking that Gu Rong was so smart that he would quickly understand what she meant.
Unexpectedly, Gu Rong frowned and said, "Replenish blood and dispel cold. Why do you need to replenish blood and dispel cold? What disease do you have?"
Looking at Gu Rong's confused eyes, Pei Tiantian didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu also came out at this time. They just happened to hear Gu Rong asking what disease Pei Tiantian had.
Two people were criticized for having no physiological common sense yesterday, but they didn't expect that there was someone in this family who had even less physiological common sense than them.
Pei Zihao suddenly felt a little superior.
He thought that Gu Rong really knew everything, but he didn't expect that he also had his own blind spots in knowledge.
Pei Zihao wanted to take this opportunity to deliberately say a few words to tease Gu Rong.
Pei Tiantian stared at them angrily, signaling with her eyes that they should help explain to Gu Rong.
Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu whispered a few words into Gu Rong's ear.
Although Gu Rong's face remained expressionless, his ears gradually turned red.
It turned out that this was the "disease" that Pei Tiantian had, which was also the "period" that Pei Tiantian had always mentioned. No wonder Pei Tiantian was unwilling to tell herself the truth before.
How could she, a girl, have the nerve to say such things to herself?
Gu Rong suddenly remembered that he had just been forcing Pei Tiantian to tell him what disease she had.
Such behavior... is simply too stupid to bear watching.
Pei Tiantian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the villain finally understood.
She was still a little thin-skinned and was embarrassed to tell the villain about this directly.
After breakfast was brought out from the kitchen one after another, the Pei family sat in a circle around the table.
It was only then that everyone realized that the breakfast on the table consisted of brown sugar steamed buns, brown sugar steamed cakes, brown sugar rice cakes, etc. An ordinary breakfast was turned into a brown sugar feast.
Pei Tiantian: “…” That’s not necessary.
After breakfast, Gu Rong wanted to wait for Pei Tiantian to go to school together, so he didn’t plan to attend the morning class.
When Pei Tiantian finished her work and came out, most of the morning class time had passed.
Only then did she realize that Gu Rong had not gone to school yet.
"Brother Gu Rong, did you forget to check the time? It's already very late."
Gu Rong: "I know the time. I will wait for you to go to school together in the next few days."
Pei Tiantian has been going out very late since she stopped attending morning classes.
Pei Tiantian was a little moved when she heard the villain say this.
She knew very well how obsessed the villain was with time, but she didn't expect that he would rather be late than not go to school with her.
Pei Tiantian looked at Gu Rong with sparkling eyes and said, "Brother Gu Rong, you are so nice."
Gu Rong looked at the smile on Pei Tiantian's little face, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Pei Tiantian returned to her bedroom to pack her schoolbag and was about to leave.
Gu Rong was stopped by Wang Ruizhen, who said sternly, "Gu Rong, you must take good care of Tiantian. If she is really feeling unwell, ask the teacher for leave. Don't force her to continue with the class. You should bring her home and let her have a good rest."
Wang Ruizhen acted so serious that Gu Rong became nervous unconsciously.
He remembered that Pei Tiantian fainted yesterday. It seemed that her period was more severe than he imagined.
Gu Rong said seriously: "I understand."
Pei Tiantian put on her schoolbag and called out "Brother Gu Rong", and then Gu Rong came out from next door.
Pei Tiantian tilted her head and said, "Brother Gu Rong, what were you and grandma talking about in the room? You talked for such a long time."
Gu Rong: "Grandma Wang asked me to take good care of you."
Pei Tiantian was helpless.
Wang Ruizhen really thought of herself as a fragile glass doll and even asked Gu Rong to take care of her.
How else can Gu Rong take care of her?
He can't take your period for me.
Besides, Gu Rong is a man, not a woman, so it is not convenient for her to talk to Gu Rong about many things.
And looking at the confused look in Gu Rong's eyes, it was obvious that he knew nothing about girls' menstrual periods and had never had any experience with it.
Pei Tiantian smiled and said, "Brother Gu Rong, don't take grandma's words too seriously. She cares about me so much that she's exaggerating. It's actually nothing serious. It's very normal."
Gu Rong: "What's normal about that? Didn't you faint yesterday? Would a normal person faint?"
Pei Tiantian was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute Gu Rong.
After the two arrived at school, as soon as Pei Tiantian sat down, Gu Rong picked up Pei Tiantian's thermos and poured her a large cup of hot water.
Gu Rong had just sat down when he noticed that the window facing Pei Tiantian was wide open, and the wind outside was blowing directly towards Pei Tiantian.
He stood up again, walked over and closed the window, and asked, "Is it still cold?"
Ever since Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong arrived in the classroom, Gu Rong has been hanging around Pei Tiantian, asking her about her well-being.
This also attracted the attention of many people.
Gu Rong is indeed a sister-con.
The students in the classroom couldn't help but whisper.
"It seems that Pei Tiantian fainted yesterday. I thought it was a rumor."
"Pei Tiantian hasn't even finished her English, how could it be a rumor?"
"And seeing how concerned Gu Rong is about her today, it seems Pei Tiantian is really sick."
Pei Tiantian's complexion did not look very good. She was pale all morning and everyone could see how weak she was.
Of course, no one thought about it elsewhere. According to the general public's habitual thinking, everyone thought that Pei Tiantian must have a cold or something.
"I really envy Pei Tiantian for having a brother who loves her so much." Someone suddenly said enviously.
"They grew up together, so their relationship must be special."
"I finally understand. Gu Rong is only so gentle when he is with Pei Tiantian."
…
Pei Tiantian was holding the English test paper that she hadn't finished yesterday and was listening to the people in the classroom chattering about Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong.
Pei Tiantian pursed her lips.
She really wanted to ask her classmates in the classroom a question.
Don’t they think they speak a little too loudly?
Both she and Gu Rong are still in the classroom, and they are not deaf.
Isn't it embarrassing to gossip about the two parties in front of them?
Gu Rong noticed that Pei Tiantian was in a bad mood, and he also found that the noise of people talking in the classroom affected Pei Tiantian's mood.
So he turned his gaze towards the classmates who were talking about them.
Those students all noticed that Gu Rong was looking at them, and when they looked up, they met Gu Rong's cold eyes.
Soon, everyone stopped gossiping and quickly lowered their heads to write the questions.
During her menstrual period, Pei Tiantian felt treated like a VVVIP by Gu Rong.
I was afraid of startling anyone even when I spoke, so I tried to be as gentle as possible.
Pei Tiantian felt a little embarrassed at first, feeling that she was overprotected.
But she quickly adapted, and habitually commanded the villain to do this and that like a fish in water.
The villain boss himself is a hardworking person, and he never complains about anything Pei Tiantian asks him to do. This makes Pei Tiantian even lazier. Even when her shoelaces are loose, Gu Rong helps her tie them.
After her period was over, Gu Rong no longer behaved excessively like he had in the previous few days.
However, Pei Tiantian was not able to adapt to this.
She had become accustomed to Gu Rong fetching her hot water and doing this and that kind of things every day.
She also got used to Gu Rong going to the school gate every day to pick up the meals that Wang Ruizhen prepared specially for her.
The meals that Wang Ruizhen prepared for her personally were extremely sumptuous and she could not finish them at all. She always ate them together with Gu Rong.
Moreover, the dishes in the cafeteria are far inferior to Wang Ruizhen's cooking.
While eating in the cafeteria, Pei Tiantian silently missed the special treatment she received during her menstrual period.
Of course, she was just thinking about it. Compared with the physical suffering, she would rather not have these special treatments and not have her period.
But it's not something she can decide, after all, every girl has to experience this for a few days every month.
After the results of the semi-finals came out, Pei Tiantian's performance once again amazed everyone.
Of course, I didn't get full marks as exaggerated as in the preliminaries, but it was close to full marks. I only lost two points in the practical part. Apart from that, I got full marks in the theory.
This score is really too high, even ten points higher than Shen Xing's original score.
Everyone felt that as long as Pei Tiantian performed at her normal level, it was a foregone conclusion that she would make it to the finals and win the prize.
Everyone followed suit to congratulate Pei Tiantian and congratulate her on her outstanding achievement.
Pei Tiantian was wondering why she lost two points in practical operation.
She went to ask Shen Xing, and then told him the process of her experiment that day, "What on earth did I do wrong? Why did I get deducted points?"
Shen Xing: "...Does it matter? You already got the highest score."
Pei Tiantian: "Of course, I have to know where I went wrong."
Shen Xing didn't quite understand either.
He felt that Pei Tiantian's operation was perfect, and he couldn't hear anything wrong.
Shen Xing and Pei Tiantian went to ask the coach together. The three of them discussed for a while and finally came to a conclusion.
It is very likely that Pei Tiantian did not operate in a standardized manner during the experiment, so she was deducted two points.
Pei Tiantian remembered that compared to those experienced contestants, she really had not done many experiments. Perhaps there really were some mistakes in her operation, but she didn't know it, so she lost points.
After all, it was because her experimental operation was not proficient enough. Pei Tiantian thought that she must practice the experimental operation well before the final to ensure that every operation was standardized and correct, so that she would not be deducted points.
After school, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong returned home and wanted to tell the Pei family the good news that she had entered the finals of the Olympic Physics Competition.
Unexpectedly, when the two opened the door, they found that the house, which was usually bustling, was unusually quiet.
Only then did Pei Tiantian notice that there was a strange man sitting on the sofa.
He looked very imposing and handsome, and there was a sense of nobility in his every move.
The Pei family members were obviously a little uneasy in front of him.
"Gu Rong, this gentleman said that he is your father."
Pei Zhiwen spoke first.
