Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Up to Second Grade

It wasn’t just him and Tong Mo laughing; now even the other students in the class were snickering quietly.

Luo Mengmeng felt utterly embarrassed. She hadn’t expected that losing just four teeth could bring so much laughter to the class. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that losing her teeth was somewhat worthwhile!

“Enough already!” Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but curse under his breath as he stood up from his seat, lifted his chilly dark eyes, and scanned the people below, “Do you all even realize it’s time for morning self-study? You have time to laugh at others, but have you memorized your texts? Aren’t you afraid of being randomly called on by the homeroom teacher during class?”

At the class president’s roar, the whole class immediately fell silent and hurriedly pretended to read their textbooks, giving him a way out.

But Gu Zhihan did not take the offered way out. Instead, he coldly glared at Tong Mo and Lu Zichen, who had been laughing the hardest.

“Tong Mo, and you, Lu Zichen, I’m taking your names!” Although his tone was indifferent, he suddenly radiated an aura of decisive ferocity, “If anyone else dares to talk, I’m taking down everyone’s names!”

“Hey, Gu Zhihan, Tong Mo and I are supposed to be your friends, aren’t we? How can you take our names?” As soon as Lu Zichen heard his name being taken, he couldn’t help but interject, quickly turning his head away from his classmates, whispering a plea for mercy, “We admit we were wrong, okay? We shouldn’t have laughed at Mengmeng losing her teeth, so please, don’t take our names, okay?”

If he were to hand their names over to the homeroom teacher, they would get scolded again.

“Heh,” Gu Zhihan chuckled coldly, unmoved.

Thinking to himself, weren’t they pretty happy making fun of others just now? How come they’re acting like grandsons all of a sudden?

“Look, this is a pencil sharpener my dad bought for me on a business trip abroad. I’m giving it to you now, can you please remove my name?” Lu Zichen said, his face wincing with pain as he took out a blue, hand-cranked pencil sharpener from his backpack.

“I’ll give you my Snow White eraser that I won from the school store raffle. Can you please remove my name too?” Tong Mo also quickly imitated Lu Zichen, eagerly offering her eraser to Gu Zhihan.

Gu Zhihan still had that look of sheer indifference, like someone impervious to bribery.

But Luo Mengmeng watched with delight at the items in their hands, “Bra, Brainiac, those, those are so pretty…”

“You want them?” At her words, Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but glance at her.

“Yes!” @@novelbin@@

Mengmeng nodded immediately.

“Then take them.” Gu Zhihan, while speaking, took the pencil sharpener and Snow White eraser from Lu Zichen and Tong Mo respectively and handed them to Luo Mengmeng.

If she wanted them, he might as well accept the “bribe.”

“Thank you, Brainiac!” Mengmeng said cheerfully, sticking her drafty little mouth out and swiftly stashing both the pencil sharpener and eraser into her backpack.

“What about our names???” Lu Zichen and Tong Mo, seeing that he had accepted their offerings, eagerly blinked and moved closer to ask him.

“This time I’ll let it go, excusing you both, but don’t let it happen again,” Gu Zhihan said expressionlessly, as if it wasn’t the bribe that had swayed him but rather his own sudden act of generosity.

Hypocrite!!!

Such a poser!

Lu Zichen and Tong Mo couldn’t help but spit in their minds at him.

However, with the protection of Class President Gu “abusing his power,” even though Mengmeng was missing four teeth, no one in the class dared to mock her to her face again.

By the time Mengmeng’s teeth had grown back, they had moved up to the second grade.
