Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!-Chapter 497: Cheer Up, Girl

Mengmeng had been listless all day, and when she went to Gu Zhihan’s house for tutoring after night self-study, Gu’s mother noticed her red and swollen eyes and immediately frowned, asking Gu Zhihan, "Why are Mengmeng’s eyes so red and swollen? Did you bully her?" freёwebnoѵel.com

Before Gu Zhihan could even defend himself, his mother continued, "Or is it possible that you betrayed Mengmeng for someone new, and that’s what made her cry like this?"

"..."

If there was anything Gu Zhihan admired the most, it was definitely his own mother’s talent for talking nonsense.

"Is that really the case?" Seeing he did not respond, Gu’s mother assumed he was admitting it. She grabbed a mop that was lying nearby, ready to beat him, and declared, "Let me tell you, if you dare to bring another vixen into this house, I will disown you as my son and act like I never gave birth to you, you ungrateful child..."

Just as she was about to bring the mop down, Luo Mengmeng quickly stepped in front of Gu Zhihan and heaved a sigh, looking rather helpless as she said, "Godmother, you’ve got it all wrong. My tears aren’t because of Gu Zhihan; it’s because I did poorly on a recent mock exam."

"So that’s what happened!" At her words, Gu’s mother breathed a sigh of relief, put down the mop, and rushed over to comfort her, "It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as you’ve tried your best."

"Yeah!"

Luo Mengmeng nodded, although deep down she still felt disheartened.

Despite her efforts, she had still not done well.

It seemed that not all things in the world could be achieved through hard work alone.

Of course, if one did not work hard at all, that would probably be even less effective.

The thought made her feel even more disheartened...

When they entered the room, Gu Zhihan stopped in front of the increasingly distressed girl, cupped her cheeks with his large hands, and looked at her earnestly, "Don’t be sad anymore, do you hear me?"

"Look, every time you’re upset, my mom thinks I bullied you, and she always picks up the broom to hit me. Tell me, isn’t that sad and unfair?"

As the young man spoke, he displayed an aggrieved expression, resembling a Golden Retriever that had just been scolded by its owner.

Seeing him like this, Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but burst into laughter. The gloom in her heart dispersed quite a bit, and she threw herself into his arms, "Gu Zhihan, how can you be so adorable? It’s so good to have you."

"That’s not entirely true..." Gu Zhihan suddenly stated.

"Huh?" Luo Mengmeng looked up at him, puzzled.

Gu Zhihan lowered his gaze, enunciating each word, "It’s not just good for you to have me; it’s also good for me to have you."

"Hehe..."

Luo Mengmeng smiled foolishly, nodding in agreement.

"You look much better when you smile," Gu Zhihan said, seeing that she was finally happy. A hint of a smile graced his lips as he gently pinched her chubby cheeks. Noticing her swollen eyes, he added, "Wait here for a moment, I will boil a couple of eggs for you to put on your eyes."

"Okay," Luo Mengmeng nodded, waving him off, "You go ahead, I’m going to read for a bit."

Yes, doing poorly on one exam did not mean she would do badly on the next one.

And even if she did poorly on the next one, it did not mean she was certain to fail the college entrance exam.

Ultimately, trying hard might not guarantee success, but not trying at all definitely ensured failure.

Cheer up, girl!

Luo Mengmeng pep-talked herself while flipping through her books to review.

After she had read for a while, Gu Zhihan came into the room with two boiled eggs.
