Aiyowei!
To hell with independence, to hell with considering the bigger picture!
Gu Xiaoer was impressed. Before, she only felt that Guo Ting was somewhat arrogant and not easy to approach. Now, she just felt that the girl standing before her was a capital B-I-T-C-H!
So capable, so talented, huh, your brain is full of pits, and your heart is all eyes!
"Baby, I won't allow you to be independent!" The man's magnetic voice rang out leisurely as he lifted Gu Xiaoer's soft white hand and gently caressed it against his chin, that tenderness, that indulgence, was sickeningly sweet.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Gu Xiaoer was so happy she could barely contain it, pursing her lips and lowering her voice to laugh. What could she do, she just had people who pampered and loved her!
"Da Luoluo, then would you find me troublesome..." she frowned and sulked.
"I only fear you won't trouble me!" the little girl wanted to show off her love, and he was happy to oblige her.
Shen Mingyou: Sister Le, I'm sick from the sweetness, I need water...
Ai Le: The sugar concentration is too high, even water can't dissolve it!
Choked again, Guo Ting staggered a few steps in her little heels, taking a good while to steady her spirit before putting on a generous and proper smile: "Xiao Er, you're everyone's choice, how can you not go!"
Cough cough, Gu Xiaoer thought, you sure change your tune quickly, suddenly it's 'everyone's choice'. How come I never noticed before that you're such a great actress? Seeing someone else has a boyfriend, you just can't help but release your feminine charms. Is it that you won't be satisfied until every man is revolving around you?
In fact, that was exactly what Guo Ting thought. As the Literary Department head for a long time, basking in the spotlight and pampered by male students from her faculty, she had long been accustomed to and enjoyed the life where everyone treated her like a star and she was the center of attention.
"Aiyo, I really don't want to go." Gu Xiaoer declined again.
Han Luoli pinched the girl's pouted lips and soothed her gently, "Baby, believe in yourself, you are excellent! And even if you make mistakes, who can say anything about you?"
"Really?" She found that Da Luoluo actually knew how to comfort people quite well.
"Yes, Xiao Er, don't lose confidence!" Guo Ting seized the opportunity, her gaze shifting to Han Luoli with a very sensible look: "Mr. Luo, rest assured, Xiaoler and I have such a good relationship, I will come to accompany her every day! I'm more familiar with hosting, I'll definitely help her to the best of my abilities."
"..."
In the hospital room, crows flew by, dropping countless black lines, and above everyone's heads circled a couple of "caws", their speechless, perspiring expressions identical.
If Xu Yanyan and Zhu Li were thick-skinned, then Guo Ting was downright shameless.
Girls understand girls' thoughts, much like men can perceive the undercurrents amongst other men.
Han Luoli shifted his gaze, narrowed his eyes and had already sized up Guo Ting from head to toe—the first look he gave her. Then the man curved his lips, his eyes twinkling with amusement, and started speaking in a low, mellow voice, "You, are quite good."
"Eh?" Gu Xiaoer blinked, puzzled as she looked at Han Luoli.
"Mr. Luo, I..." Thinking it was a compliment, Guo Ting's little face flushed a delicate red, shyly tucking a wisp of hair behind her ear and spoke softly, "Sir, where do you think I excel?"
"Acting, not bad," Han Luoli paused, then added.
"You..." Guo Ting's flush turned from rosy to fiery red, an intensely awkward and ugly shade. Her body teetered, unable to withstand another wave of humiliation, she quickly mumbled while retaining her last bit of reason, "Sorry everyone, I feel a bit unwell, I have to go back first."
Before her words even finished, she had already rushed out the door.
In the hospital room, only an unbridled, hearty laughter remained.
