Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: “You guys continue

He parted his lips slightly and gently bit the corner of her lip, the sweet, cloying taste of fruit candy instantly spreading in his mouth… @@novelbin@@

(Kids should be innocent, cough, they should remain innocent even when they grow up, I won’t describe the kissing process in too much detail, feel free to imagine it, my darlings.)

Time seemed to halt at that moment.

Until an incongruous sound of a door being opened was heard.

“Mengmeng, Gu Zhihan, where did you two run off to? Don’t you know school starts early tomorrow? Why haven’t you bathed and gone to sleep…” Gu’s mother, upon entering the bedroom and seeing the two kids kissing, abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

After the abrupt stop, she let out a piercing scream, “Ah, ah, ah, I didn’t see anything, continue, please continue!”

While speaking, she even “scampered” out the door, thoughtfully closing it behind her.

Really now! What a sin!

How could she disturb the intimate moment of a young couple!

“…”

Mengmeng and Gu Zhihan were extremely embarrassed.

No, more accurately, Gu Zhihan was extremely embarrassed. As soon as Gu’s mother left, he immediately let go of Luo Mengmeng as if he had been electrocuted.

“Husband, why are you letting go of me? Didn’t godmother tell us to continue?” Mengmeng fluttered her eyelashes, tiptoeing in preparation for another kiss.

“Continue my foot, I’m going to take a bath.”

The usually proud and aloof Gu Zhihan cursed for the first time in his life.

After saying that, he immediately grabbed some clean clothes and dashed into the bathroom as though fleeing, his face red all the way to the nape of his neck.

Looks like my husband is shy again…

Luo Mengmeng held her little chin, contemplating him with a thoughtful look on her face.

But!

“Husband, wait for me, how can you go bathe by yourself and leave your wife alone?” Mengmeng ran to the bathroom door, incessantly knocking, signaling him to open up.

Inside, the sound of water could be heard, indicating Gu Zhihan was already bathing.

“Have you forgotten that our parents already forbade us from bathing together?” Gu Zhihan’s indifferent voice came out from the bathroom.

“Uh… I really did forget.” Mengmeng patted her little head and then placed her hands to her mouth, making a megaphone shape, shouting through the glass door to him, “Then I’ll wait out here until you’re done with your bath, and then I’ll go in.”

Ever since they were seven or eight years old, their parents had forbidden them from bathing together.

They had also initially disapproved of them sleeping together, but they couldn’t withstand Mengmeng’s tantrums.

“Hmm…” Gu Zhihan acknowledged with a hum, continuing his bath inside.

But when he looked up, his gaze could faintly make out the figure of the little girl standing behind the frosted glass. Although he knew she could see nothing of his meticulous, developing body, he felt somewhat embarrassed at the bottom of his heart.

“Luo Mengmeng, can you not loiter outside the bathroom like a hooligan?” Gu Zhihan tried to speak in his usual tone—calm and detached.

Like this, he was truly embarrassed.

“But I am a hooligan, you always tell me I’m a hooligan…” Mengmeng couldn’t help but mutter, “Besides, I can’t see you from here, and even if I could, what of it? It’s not like I haven’t seen your body before!”

But the past is not like the present, is it?

The developing Gu Zhihan really wanted to yell into her ears.

And there was a question in his heart.

Isn’t it said that girls hit puberty earlier than boys? So why did it seem like he was earlier than her?

When she was clueless about everything, he was already starting to understand a lot…

But on second thought, considering she’s both foolish and slow, it makes sense for her to be a late bloomer.
