MTLNOVEL Chapter 89: Tao Zhiqing
Wei Yan Yan glared resentfully at the two people standing under the tree not far away, "What a vixen, shameless, pfft pfft pfft!"
But no matter how quietly she cursed, it couldn't stop Gu Juan's heart from being enchanted, "Brother Tao, you're simply amazing, even more than our school teachers."
"Can I come here often to ask you questions in the future?"
"Of course, Juanzi." Tao Zhiran said with a smile, "It would be an honor for me to have you come."
In just a short while, their way of addressing each other underwent a huge change; one went from Tao Zhiqing to Brother Tao, and the other from Comrade Gu Juan to Juanzi.
"Brother Tao, you're so nice." Gu Juan was absolutely infatuated.
Right now, she couldn't care less about Lv Guodong or Yang Yunhai.
Lv Guodong was just a small thug; if it weren't for his bit of use, why would she bother with him?
As for Yang Yunhai, that man was as cold as an iceberg.
How could he compare to Tao Zhiran's gentleness and thoughtfulness?
"Let me walk you back." Tao Zhiran said with a smile.
"Then... okay." Gu Juan blushed and bowed her head, while Tao Zhiran considerately held the umbrella for her.
"Brother Tao, we're about to have dinner, where are you going?" Wei Yan Yan came out of the kitchen and said to Tao Zhiran with a smile, "The food will be cold soon, and it won't be good then."
"Well... I'll be right back, it's okay." Tao Zhiran gave Wei Yan Yan a conflicted glance, but eventually chose to leave with Gu Juan.
"Brother Tao, maybe you should go back to eat. I... I can go alone." Gu Juan said gently.
"No worries, let's go." Tao Zhiran tried to hold the umbrella entirely on Gu Juan's side, seemingly not caring about his own soaking wet clothes.
"Thank you, Brother Tao, please come have dinner at my place sometime, my family would certainly welcome you." Gu Juan said with a smile.
Welcome?
Tao Zhiran thought of the girl he had seen earlier, who was said to be Gu Juan's sister? Would she be as welcoming as Gu Juan?
However, when the two arrived at the Gu Family's, they were both dumbfounded.
"Gu Juan, you're back just in time. Grandma wants you to make dinner." Gu Lingling said with amusement as she looked at the two under the umbrella.
The man standing next to Gu Juan, if she remembered correctly, should be the new educated youth, but something about his gaze made Gu Lingling quite displeased.
"You got the nerve to talk, who never makes a meal at home, you idle girl, why not just be lazy to death," Old Mrs. Gu rushed out from the room and scolded Gu Lingling when she heard her speak.
"If you put it that way, then Gu Juan is sure to die before me." Gu Lingling replied with a faint smile, "Grandma, your Juanzi brought someone back."
"Sister Lingling, please... don't talk nonsense." Gu Juan blushed and glanced at Tao Zhiran, "This is Brother Tao, the educated youth from our village. Brother Tao, this is my grandma and my sister. Please have a seat inside, I'll go make dinner now."
"Grandma, let me make dinner."
"I... I'll be going then." Tao Zhiran handed the umbrella to Gu Juan, "If you have any questions, feel free to come find me at the educated youth point."
"Brother Tao, I'm sorry for making a fool of you." Gu Juan said with red eyes, "I'll invite you to have dinner at my house some other day, alright?"
With red eyes full of grievance, she looked at Tao Zhiran.
"Alright." Tao Zhiran gave a bright smile, "Hurry back inside."
After saying that, he turned and left handsomely, it was only then that Gu Juan noticed how soaked the other side of Tao Zhiran's clothes were.
"Brother Tao, take the umbrella." Gu Juan caught up with him and shoved the umbrella into Tao Zhiran's hand.
Feeling deeply touched inside and out.
"Snap out of it, don't you need to make dinner? Hurry up then." Gu Lingling said with a sarcastic smile, giving Gu Juan an elegant turn.
