"Mmm... I... won't cry... anymore..."
Mengmeng finally stopped crying with his comforting.
Gu Zhihan wasn't laughing at her, but that didn't mean others wouldn't tease Mengmeng.
When school resumed after the winter break, Mengmeng was afraid others would discover that she had lost four teeth. On the first day back, she even wore a mask on purpose and with her leaky-mouthed speech, she instructed Gu Zhihan, "B-Brother, you... mustn't... tell others about m-me... losing teeth!"
She definitely didn't want her classmates to laugh at her.
Kids at this age already have their own understanding of beauty and ugliness, so it was normal for Mengmeng to act this way.
"Got it." Gu Zhihan replied expressionlessly, though inwardly he found her ostrich-like approach quite unreasonable.
Did she think that by wearing a mask, others wouldn't notice her missing teeth? Would the teacher let her keep it on all the time? Or perhaps, she wasn't planning to speak anymore?
