Chapter 2 I Like

  Suddenly thought of his elderly grandmother. Her grandmother is still very healthy now, but if one day her grandmother also gets old and needs to use a cane, what should she do?

  Gu Merning suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. She lowered her head and buried her face. If she hadn't bumped into that old lady today, the old lady would have had to carry the kettle herself. Who knows who the old lady's family is? They're so unfilial, leaving her alone here to read, and even making her go fetch hot water by herself!

  Before Gu Moning's mind had turned eighteen bends, a shadow pressed over and he collided with it without being careful.

  "It's all over, I'm going to die. I, Ning Qian, was so awesome, winning the championship in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and even defeating street thugs with my karate skills... yet today I'm going to die on these stairs? I haven't had a chance to try all the delicious foods in the world, or travel everywhere, or even finish being 18... I haven't even had a romance, and now I'm just going to hang here on the stairs? The most important thing is, I didn't get to take good care of my grandparents, dad, and mom, and I won't even get to see them one last time! Waaahhh..."

  A man in front of him, looking at Gu Mo Ning who had closed his eyes and was about to die, let out a low laugh. Upon hearing this laughter, Gu Mo Ning broke out in cold sweat, 'It's all over, could it be that Hei Bai Wu Chang has come to collect my soul?! I should just pretend to be dead, no, no, I'm already dead, how can I pretend to be dead?! Waaaah~'

  "Gu Mò Níng, how much longer do you want me to hold you?" Who was calling her? What a gentle and pleasant voice! Gu Mò Níng opened her eyes in surprise. As soon as she opened them, it seemed like she saw a ray of light. The light was fiery and dazzling, brighter than the sun. It pierced through the daytime, shooting straight into her heart, making her forget to breathe, paralyzing her entire body, only making her unable to move her eyes or feet.

  The boy looked at Gu Mornin's dazed expression in confusion, wondering if she had been scared silly. He reached out with his left hand to grab her waist and shook it slightly, "Hey, are you okay?" At the same time, he used his right hand to take the thermos from her hand. Gu Mornin felt a strange sensation on her waist and immediately let out a cry as she retreated several steps back.

  "What are you doing, rascal!" Gu Mengning pointed at the strange boy in front of her, accusing him. "Beauty, it seems like you were the one clinging to me and refusing to open your eyes and leave." The boy had a 'I didn't want to either' expression on his face, making Gu Mengning feel a little guilty. She pouted and hummed softly. Forget it, anyway she almost died just now, so she wouldn't hold it against him since he saved her.

  Gu Muer lowered her head, looking at the thermos in the boy's hand with a hint of embarrassment, "Sorry about that, I misunderstood you earlier. You can give me the thermos." The boy suddenly burst out laughing, "No need, I'll carry it myself. And thank you for helping my grandmother carry the hot water just now."

  "Ah?" Gu Moning stared at him in shock, "You're saying you're this old lady's grandson?" The boy responded with a faint "uh-huh". As a result, Gu Moning's expression changed instantly, "How can you be like this? The old lady came all the way here to read with you, it's already not easy for her, and yet you still let her go fetch water by herself. You're really unfilial..."

  "Hey, you've got it wrong, actually this kid is quite well-behaved. He's just bored sitting at home every day and wants to go out for a walk, don't blame him, don't blame him." An old lady nearby quickly chimed in with a smile to explain for the boy. "Uh," Gu Mengning suddenly felt like she was asking for trouble by meddling in other people's business. She rubbed her nose awkwardly, avoiding eye contact, and muttered under her breath, "Sorry..."

  The boy smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "It's okay, you go ahead, I'll help Grandma carry the pot." Gu Mengning remembered she still had to arrange the dance room, so she shook her hand at the old lady and said, "Grandma, I'm leaving first." She hastily bid farewell to the old lady and ran to the dance room.

  The boy looked at the thermos in his hand with a thoughtful expression, then looked in the direction that Gu Mò Níng had run off in, a hint of playfulness in his eyes. He immediately broke out into a big smile. "Gu Mò Níng!" The dance studio where she practiced street dancing was on the seventh floor. Gu Mò Níng had just reached the third floor, but now she climbed four floors in one breath, and could only weakly lean against the railing, panting heavily. There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead and nose. Actually, she could have climbed up slowly, but she didn't want to stay with that boy for another moment, or else she would suffocate.

  Her heart was still pounding rapidly, Gu Mò Níng patted her burning cheeks, feeling very strange. Why was she so tense? Closing her eyes and shaking her head, covering her burning face, she suddenly thought of something unbelievable, her eyes widened in shock, almost shouting out loud, hurriedly covering her own mouth. 'Oh my god, this feeling won't be liking him, will it?!' Gu Mò Níng shook her head again, telling herself not to think about what just happened, early love was bad, she couldn't like him, couldn't like him.

  Gu Mochen took a deep breath, adjusted his appearance, and calmly walked towards the dance studio.

  "Teacher Yang, you've already set up the dance studio!" As soon as she saw the dance studio, she noticed that everything inside was already tidy. Gu Mian Ning widened her eyes in surprise and scanned the neat and organized dance studio with a mixture of embarrassment and awkwardness, "I'm really sorry, I made you wait for so long." "It's okay, I didn't have anything to do anyway, so I came early. But you're in your second year of high school now, and your coursework is heavy, yet you still took out time from studying to help me with class... I'm the one who should be sorry." The teacher looked at the almost perfect girl in front of her with a warm smile, thinking to herself that if she could have a child like this with her boyfriend, it would be wonderful.

  "No, it won't delay my studies, I'm very smart." Gu Mò Níng quickly forgot the embarrassment and happily boasted to the teacher. Yang Laoshi looked at Gu Mò Níng in front of her, who was like a child, with two small dimples on her chubby face, her eyes shining clean and bright, she couldn't help but look forward to having such an adorable child even more.

  "How could I have not known that our school's campus belle was so narcissistic?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, Gu Mengning felt her heart skip a beat, and her cheeks were also hot.

  Gu Muniang had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, wearing a loose-fitting yellow sport suit. From behind, one could clearly see that her ears were red. "Hey beauty, are you shy or something? Your ears are all red." Gu Muniang suddenly felt that this person was really asking for a beating. What did it have to do with him if she was shy or not? With an expression of discontent, she turned around and glared at the source of the teasing voice, "You must be suffering from conjunctivitis, so everything you look at is red."
