Those boys shout in strange voices and press Gu Cheng to tell them who that girl is but Gu Cheng won’t say her name no matter how .
Ah Zhao covers her mouth in the front row and laughs secretly .
Song Wen isn’t as shocked as those boys are . He looks at Brother Cheng then back at his deskmate and realizes that he probably discovers a big secret .
Is it possible that his Brother Cheng indeed decides to start a decent life?
There are boys who text him to ask whether he knows who that girl is .
After all, everyone in Cla.s.s 2 knows that Song Wen is Gu Cheng’s best buddy .
Song Wen has a guess but he tells everyone else that he has no idea .
Since neither party wants to spill it, he can’t be the big mouth either .
But he's overthinking .
Gu Cheng doesn’t tell them because he finds it embarra.s.sing since he hasn’t made Ah Zhao his girlfriend yet .
He doesn’t care if anyone knows .
During the break, everyone in Cla.s.s 2 sees clearly that Gu Cheng takes out a bottle of milk from his drawer and pa.s.ses it to Ah Zhao .
“Have some milk . It must be exhausting studying hard all the time . ”
A boy sits beside him laughs strangely: “Brother Cheng, I’m exhausted because of study as well . Do you have milk for me, too?”
Gu Cheng kicks his desk . “Go away!”
During lunch break, Gu Cheng rushes out of the cla.s.sroom with all the other cla.s.smates for the first time .
He gets food for Ah Zhao, keeps a seat for her and eats with her .
He isn’t covering up his intentions at all .
Over time, not only Cla.s.s 2 but all of Qingyuan Second High know that the most handsome boy of the school, Gu Cheng, is madly in love with the top student, Tang Zhao .
Not only does he work hard for her but he is willing to follow her everywhere, helping her fill up her kettle, bringing her breakfast and getting her lunch .
Wherever Tang Zhao is, one can find Gu Cheng beside her .
The news is all over the school so eventually the teachers learn about it as well .
Old Kai has great hopes for Ah Zhao so he calls her to the office the minute he knows the news .
“Tang Zhao, I ask you over today because I've heard something . ”
Ah Zhao stands there agreeably .
In front of him, it’s his best pupil, who gives him no trouble and is obedient, a top student as well . Old Kai’s voice becomes softer without him even noticing it:
“You and Gu Cheng . . . ”
Before he even finishes, the office door is pushed open from outside and Gu Cheng rushes in .
Old Kai glares at him: “Gu Cheng, don’t you know that you should knock first before you come in?”
Gu Cheng greets him . Looking Ah Zhao up and down and finding nothing is wrong with her, he finally sets his mind at ease .
Old Kai: “ . . . ”
What’s that look? Could I eat Tang Zhao alive or what?
He turns gloomy and is about to start his lecture when Gu Cheng speaks before him: “Teacher, I know why you ask Tang Zhao to come here . ”
He stands straight which he seldom does . “I do have feelings for her and I don’t mind if you know that . ”
Old Kai: “ . . . ” Well, you are really somebody being so bold and a.s.sured .
“But it's nothing to do with her . We aren't boyfriend and girlfriend yet . It’s me who's after her all this time . ”
Old Kai is livid . “You are in your final year of high school . I’m sure you know what’s most important for you at the moment . Tang Zhao is a top student . If you do have feelings for her, you shouldn't affect her with what you do . ”
“Mr . Deng . ” Ah Zhao says softly .
She blinks her big eyes, not shy nor embarra.s.sed but still cute . “It won’t affect our study . ”
Old Kai frowns: “Tang Zhao, don’t speak for . . . ”
“I promise, Mr . Deng . ”
Ah Zhao’s voice is small but firm . “I’ll let my grades speak for me . ”
