"What?!" Teacher Zhang looked at Tang Yuran, somewhat hesitant to believe what she had just heard.
"I want to ask him if he's willing to let me be his wife." Tang Yuran looked at Teacher Zhang somewhat embarrassedly, her fair and tender little face actually showing a rare flush of red.
After pondering for a moment, Teacher Zhang finally decided it would be best to throw this hot potato over to Gu Yu.
It's better for children to resolve their own loves and hates.
So, Teacher Zhang nodded and said to Tang Yuran, "Okay."
Normally during nap time, the children's cots were placed according to the order they lined up in, and since Tang Yuran was the shortest, her little bed was always the first one.
However, today, Teacher Zhang put Tang Yuran's little bed to the side and placed the other children's beds first.
Gu Yu glanced at Tang Yuran standing beside Teacher Zhang with a puzzled look, furrowed his brow, feeling that it was a bit strange but didn't think much of it.
But when it came to placing his cot, Teacher Zhang suddenly put Tang Yuran's little bed with a pink Hello Kitty bedspread beside his, then patted Tang Yuran on the shoulder and said with a helpless face, "Go ahead, this is as far as I can help you."
Tang Yuran smiled sweetly at Teacher Zhang, her voice crisp, "Thank you, Teacher."
Then she ran over to his side.
Gu Yu glanced at Tang Yuran somewhat strangely and continued to take off his jacket.
Tang Yuran also obediently stood beside him, took off her jacket, then climbed onto her little bed, looking at him with eager eyes.
Gu Yu pretended not to see anything and went straight into the covers of his cot.
After most of the children were in their beds, the teacher turned on the computer and played a song to help the children fall asleep.
Gu Yu closed his eyes, ready to sleep, when he suddenly felt someone tugging at his blanket.
He turned his head and looked at Tang Yuran lying beside him.
"Gu Yu," Tang Yuran looked at him with a smile and called out his name softly.
"What?" Gu Yu responded expressionlessly.
"Would it be okay if I were your wife?" Tang Yuran asked cautiously.
???
Gu Yu was full of question marks.
"The teacher said that 'offering oneself' actually means becoming husband and wife, but you need the other person's agreement." Seeing his puzzled face, Tang Yuran quickly explained, "So I wanted to ask, would it be okay for me to be your wife?"
"No," Gu Yu rejected her without a second thought.
"Why not?" Tang Yuran became anxious when she heard his refusal.
"What's the use of having you as my wife?" Gu Yu gave her a dismissive glance, "Can you cook, or wash clothes, or clean the room? You can't do anything, how could you be my wife?"
"My mom can do those things," Tang Yuran blinked, "My mom knows how to do everything."
"But your mom isn't my wife," Gu Yu turned his head away, closed his eyes, and said, "Anyway, I don't want you as my wife. My standards for a wife are very high."
"How high?" Tang Yuran climbed right onto Gu Yu's little bed, turned his face toward her, and asked seriously, "I can learn what I don't know."
"You..." Gu Yu was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Tang Yuran, please go back to your own bed!"
