Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (38)

  When Tang Suoyan struggled to lift his head to look at Gu Xian, he pretended to look elsewhere.

  Tang Sugar was puzzled, lowered his head and thought again, suddenly enlightened. Gu Xian's first class didn't take action because he was present, his principle of contacting himself was to avoid being overheard.

  It's also embarrassing to be friends with someone as terrible as myself and have it spread around.

  Tang suddenly felt very wronged, but still willing to stand in his position and consider for him, otherwise, there would not even be a chance to get in touch with him behind the classmates.

  Tang Sugar quietly walked out of the classroom and hid behind the window to observe every move of Gu Xian Nian.

  As expected, Gu Xian walked out of the classroom door and immediately stood up straight, walking towards Tangtang's seat.

  Sugar sugar outside looks clear, can't help but be overjoyed, one hand pressed against the chest mouth thumping heart, pretending to casually watch Gu Xianye's movements in the classroom.

  Closer! Even closer!

  Her heart suddenly flew into her throat, and she felt dizzy with tension.

  Gu Xiannian stopped in front of her desk as she had wished, and Tangtang's heart also stopped beating immediately, as if afraid that the sound of his heartbeat would scare Gu Xiannian away.

  She stared at Gu Xian Nian with bated breath, but strangely, Gu Xian Nian didn't look in her direction, instead he gazed straight ahead at the blackboard for a while before unexpectedly turning around and walking towards Du Juan.

  Azalea was originally talking with Jiang Lili and the others, saw him and gave him a big white eye, Jiang Lili and the others knew the situation and walked away.

  Gu Xian sat down in the empty seat opposite Du Juan. Du Juan still ignored him.

  It's heartbreaking to see him being treated like that outside! She almost wanted to rush over and take sides for Gu Xian Nian.

  In the past, I don't know what funny things were said, but they made Dujuan burst out laughing, and Tang Sugar immediately felt a sour taste in her heart, looking at Dujuan with envy, really wishing she was her.

  Her heart was like the temperature on a thermometer, suddenly soaring and then plummeting, finally falling below freezing point. In her distress, she scratched the wall of the corridor with her fingers, as if she had practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and dug out a not-so-small hole in the wall. Her feet were covered in white wall skin flakes everywhere, but she didn't notice at all, all her attention was focused on Gu Xian Ye.

  Gu Xianye roughly ended his conversation with Du Juan, stood up with a spring breeze on his face, and stopped again when he passed by Tang Tang's desk. He suddenly looked towards the window where Tang Tang was standing, and Tang Tang quickly withdrew her head behind the wall.

  Gu Xian year was like a seasoned scout, seeing no one noticed him, quickly opened the sugar sugar pen box, put something inside, estimated to be another note. He closed the pen box and left with ease.

  Tangtang's heart immediately beat out a joyful little drum, boom boom boom!

  She wanted to be a bit more reserved and calm, didn't want to appear in front of Gu Xian Ye like a guided missile that would dash forward courageously as soon as it found its target.

  However, she couldn't control her two legs at all, and like a spirited little pony, she rushed into the classroom with excitement. Under Gu Xian's astonished gaze, she blushed as she hastily opened the special note meant for him - a piece of paper that read: "Thank you."

  Staring foolishly at the note, as if she didn't recognize the two characters, feeling inexplicably puzzled: Thank you? What does it mean?

  She wanted to continue digging into the meaning of these two words, but her head was dizzy and she couldn't muster up the energy, and even the last class was spent in a daze.

  After school, Tang Sugar came out of the school gate early as before and hid under the pomegranate tree to wait for Gu Xiannian. She waited left and right but didn't see him coming. Feeling strange, she went back to the classroom but still didn't see his shadow. She asked the duty student that day, a girl who was sweeping the floor with a look of disdain, "The class leader left early."

  "Is he alone?" Tangtang asked cautiously.

  "How would I know?" The girl rolled her eyes at her.

  Where did he go?

  Tangtang walked out of the classroom while thinking, and the girl on duty behind him whispered: "Lai wants to eat swan meat!"

  Tang Sugar pretended not to hear, she went back home alone in a daze, feeling very tired, and fell asleep on the bed.

  Dazed, she only heard her aunt calling her to get up and eat, Tangtang tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt like they had a thousand pounds of weight on them, and no matter what, she couldn't open them.

  Auntie saw that she had been quiet for half a day, walked to the bedside and took a look, her cheeks were flushed red, touched her forehead with her hand, and immediately panicked and shouted: "My goodness! So hot! Is she having a fever?"

  Tang sugar also felt that she was having a high fever, her whole body was hot and burning like being in the fire, her throat was dry and thirsty! She wanted to drink water, but couldn't wake up, she felt like she was sliding into some kind of abyss, gradually losing consciousness......

  The next morning, when Tangtang slowly opened her eyes, the bright sunlight outside the window had already lit up the entire room, and the light was dazzling. Tangtang narrowed her eyes like a kitten, and her mind quickly cleared from its daze: Oh no, I'm going to be late!

  She was about to get out of bed on conditioned reflex, and a hand gently pressed her down: "Be good, just lie down."

  Only then did Tangtang notice that Auntie was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her warmly. Tangtang's heart felt a warmth, her nose turned sour, and even her eyes became moist. She cleared her throat with force and said, "Can't sleep anymore, will be late."

  "Stupid kid, you're already late, Xia Ye will help you ask for a day off, just stay home and rest. You don't know how badly you were burned yesterday, it was Xia Ye who took you to the emergency room on her back. The doctor said that if we had come any later, you would have developed pneumonia." Auntie was chattering away with gusto, but when she saw Sugar staring at her with a silly smile, she felt a chill run down her spine and her heart racing. She muttered under her breath: "Did he get burned stupid last night?" Her tongue slightly stuttered as she asked: "Y-you... why are you looking at me like that?"

  "Mom, why do you look more and more beautiful when I look at you?" Tang Sugar said with a smile in her eyes.

  Auntie was already very unaccustomed to being suddenly called "mom", and being praised even more made her feel uneasy, she twisted and turned uncomfortably, touched her own face with her hand, and proudly said: "At that time, if I wasn't pretty, would your dad have chosen me?"

  As soon as she spoke, she immediately realized her mistake and looked at Tang Sugar with great embarrassment. Tang Sugar buried his head in the quilt, as if seeking some protection. However, seeing Auntie's guilty face, he couldn't bear it, hid his sadness, and like a daughter coaxing her mother, leaned against Auntie, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed his chubby face against her thigh, forcing out a big smile, but said nothing.

  Auntie's heart thoroughly softened, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to gently stroke her hair. The words "I'm sorry" had already reached the tip of her tongue, but in the end, she still didn't say them.

  Although her whole body felt heavy and her feet light, Sugar still insisted on going to school. She was worried that Gu Xian would want to give her a gift today but wouldn't be able to find her.

  The aunt couldn't outdo her and forced her to drink a bowl of oatmeal porridge before letting her go.

  Tang Tang arrived at school when the second class was already in session. Qin teacher was lecturing, and upon seeing her, he was a bit surprised: "Didn't you take a sick leave?"

  "It's much better now."

  "Come in," said Teacher Qin with a nod.

  Tang Tang sat down in her seat and, taking advantage of putting away her bag, pretended to accidentally glance at Gu Xian Ye. He was focused on taking notes, not looking up, and didn't even mean to exchange eye contact with her.

  Tang Sugar Man couldn't help but complain in his heart: If you want to give someone a gift, just give it quickly. What's the point of keeping them hanging like this?

  But she couldn't ask him for it, that wouldn't be a gift, and it wouldn't bring the joy and satisfaction of receiving one either.

  Alas! Can only wait patiently.

  Tang Tang listlessly pulled out her math book, but her mind was completely not on studying. Her eyes couldn't help but glance at Gu Xian year again and again. Unintentionally, her line of sight swept over Du Juan's back, and her gaze immediately got stuck there. The whole person suddenly stiffened in her seat.
