"Ah? Why do you say that?" Teacher Zhang picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip of water.
"Because this morning, I gave Gu Yu a big smooch, then a gentle pat, and giggled..." Tang Yuran answered loudly with a beaming smile.
With a "Pfft—" sound, Teacher Zhang spewed out the mouthful of water she had just drunk.
"Teacher, are you okay??" Tang Yuran looked at Teacher Zhang with a worried expression and considerately extended her little hands to pat her on the back.
"No, what... what did you just say??" Teacher Zhang looked at Tang Yuran with a face full of horror, her voice trembling as she asked, "What have you done to Gu Yu??"
"Ah?" Tang Yuran looked at Teacher Zhang with confusion, scratching the back of her head, and said bewilderedly, "Didn't I just tell you, I gave him a smooch, a pat, and then giggled."
"How did you giggle at him??" Teacher Zhang stared at Tang Yuran with wide eyes, thinking to herself how precocious kids nowadays are. Already in the middle class of kindergarten, and they know about giggling??
"Just giggling like this..." Tang Yuran showed a brilliant smile to Teacher Zhang, pointing to her plump cheeks and said, "Like this, I giggled at him for quite a while."
"..."
"..."
Teacher Zhang stared at the smiling Tang Yuran for a long while before she finally realized that the giggling she was talking about was not the same giggling she had thought.
Thank goodness...
Scared the life out of me...
Teacher Zhang couldn't help but look speechlessly towards the heavens, patting her chest.
"Teacher, does that mean I'm Gu Yu's wife now??" Tang Yuran, seeing that Teacher Zhang hadn't spoken for a long time, eventually couldn't help but ask again.
"Well... this..." Teacher Zhang pondered for a moment, then spoke to Tang Yuran seriously, "Your willingness to commit out of gratitude shows you are a child who knows thankfulness, but this commitment, it still requires the other party's agreement. You can't just decide on your own."
"What does it mean 'you can't just decide on your own'?" Tang Yuran didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentence.
"It means, to become Gu Yu's wife, Gu Yu also needs to agree. If he doesn't agree, then this commitment doesn't count," Teacher Zhang thought for a moment, then simplified her explanation and repeated it for her.
"So, it means as long as Gu Yu agrees, it's okay??" Tang Yuran finally seemed to understand the meaning behind the words.
"Yes!" Teacher Zhang nodded.
"Oh..." Tang Yuran nodded thoughtfully.
"Cough, cough, if there's nothing else, let's go back to the classroom to take a nap, okay?" Teacher Zhang felt she could no longer continue discussing this topic with Tang Yuran. The kids these days, really, sigh...
"Okay." Tang Yuran nodded.
Teacher Zhang stood up and loudly called out to the small groups of kids scattered across the playground, "Class One children, let's go back to the classroom for a nap!! Class One children!!"
"Coming!!"
"Here we come!!"
A group of children cheerfully ran towards the classroom behind Teacher Zhang.
Teacher Zhang watched with satisfaction as the kids entered the classroom one after another, just as she was about to turn and go in, Tang Yuran, who had been standing by her side, suddenly tugged at her clothes and asked, "Teacher, can I sleep next to Gu Yu?"
