Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Confirmation

“For sure!!” Mengmeng nodded vigorously and even gave an example, “My mom usually calls my dad ‘the head of the household!'”

So the husband is the wife’s “head of the household”!

Having said that, Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Gu Zhihan’s arm and hopped and skipped toward the vineyard, her twin ponytails swinging back and forth with her movements, tracing light paths in the azure sky.

“…”

Teacher Tao stood amidst the wind in disarray, watching Mengmeng’s retreating figure.

Little friend, it’s not apparent at all that your mom is actually quite the strict spouse…

And you’ve inherited that glorious tradition!

This season was the prime time for grape harvesting, the neatly arranged grape trellises were laden with clusters of delicate, ripe purple grapes that gleamed and glittered under the brilliant light, beckoning silently for someone to pick them.

But the grape trellises were very high, with the grapes growing on top, a height that was nothing to adults, but to the six-year-old Mengmeng, it was as high as the sky.

No matter if she stood on her tiptoes or jumped, her little hands couldn’t reach the grapes.

“Little girl, don’t bother, you won’t be able to pick grapes like that,” the parents of other children nearby laughed heartily as they saw Mengmeng’s comical jumping under the grape trellis and said to her, “Where’s your guardian? Why not have your guardian hold you to pick?”

Mengmeng twisted her little head, glanced at that person, then looked at the others, and noticed that most of the classmates in her class were being held by their guardians to pick grapes from the trellises.

She was the only fool jumping around!

So…

“Husband, you hold me too, otherwise I can’t pick any grapes!” Mengmeng batted her clear, large eyes and walked up to Gu Zhihan, her little hand constantly shaking the hem of the boy’s clothes beside her.

“No.”

Gu Zhihan swatted away her little palm and rejected her without a second thought.

She was too heavy; he didn’t want to hold her.

“All the other kids have guardians to pick grapes for them, only my guardian won’t hold me… wuwu…” As Mengmeng spoke, her voice suddenly filled with grief, and tears “whooshed” out of her eyes.

This scene made the surrounding parents and children look over in confusion.

“Hey, what are you crying for!” The thing Gu Zhihan feared the most since he was little was Luo Mengmeng crying. At this moment, his brows scrunched up tightly, and he quickly stepped forward, wiping the tears from her cheeks while relenting, “If you stop crying, then I’ll hold you to pick grapes!”

“Really?” Hearing this, Mengmeng immediately stopped her tears and even revealed a super radiant smile.

If it weren’t for the redness around her eyes, you’d never be able to imagine that she was bawling just a second ago.

“Really.”

Gu Zhihan let out a soft sigh and, after wiping her tears dry, took her soft and tender little hand and walked towards the grape trellis.

In the lush vineyard, the little boy in a white sweatshirt held the little girl in a flowered dress, walking toward the grape trellis nearby, with the bright morning light casting a gentle glow around both of them.

When they reached the grape trellis, Gu Zhihan stretched out his arms to Mengmeng, “Come here.” @@novelbin@@

“I knew husband was the best in the whole world!” Mengmeng rushed forward, hugging his neck, and moved, she planted a firm “smack” on his tender cheek.
