Breakfast was finished quickly.
Mother Gu and Gu Yue sat across from each other, eating together.
At the table.
Having woken up very early and stayed in a state of excitement, Gu Yue had finally drained all the energy from her body.
Especially after she had eaten her fill.
Her eyelids felt heavy as lead, constantly drooping.
"Mom."
"I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
"Call me when he gets here."
Gu Yue put down the hand she was rubbing her eyes with and muttered.
"Okay."
"Go get some rest."
"Oh, by the way."
"What's your classmate's name?"
Mother Gu asked casually.
"His name is Lin Yu."
Gu Yue yawned as she tossed out this remark, then shuffled off in her slippers, still wearing her makeup and the carefully chosen soft white spaghetti-strap dress, heading back to her bedroom to sleep.
Mother Gu sat on the living room sofa, lost in thought.
Lin Yu.
She wondered what kind of person this kid really was...
...
Evening.
Mother Gu was sitting on the sofa. She picked up her teacup and was about to take a light sip, hoping to add a touch of elegant fragrance to this leisurely afternoon.
Just then.
A terrified scream suddenly burst from the room to her left.
The sound was so abrupt that it startled Mother Gu, making her wrist jerk and nearly spill the hot tea all over herself.
She quickly moved the teacup away.
Looking at the drops of water on her clothes.
Before she could even curse her careless daughter under her breath —
The door to Gu Yue's room was yanked open.
A completely different Gu Yue from this morning stood there.
She was still wearing the same soft white dress from earlier, but after a whole day of rolling around, tossing and turning, and rumpling, the easily wrinkled fabric now looked messy and unfit for company.
Her hair was a tangled mess, with several strands of jet-black hair rebelling, creatively striking various poses on top of her head.
But the most eye-catching thing was the streak of bright red that ran horizontally across her cheek from the corner of her mouth.
To someone who didn't know better, it looked like she had been injured, maybe even coughed up blood, leaving that vivid red mark on her face.
But Mother Gu wasn't alarmed at all.
Because she knew it wasn't blood.
She had seen it earlier that day when Gu Yue was with that boy, Lin Yu, in her room.
It was just the dried remnants of drool mixed with lipstick that had run from the corner of her mouth while she was sound asleep.
Compared to Mother Gu's calm demeanor.
Gu Yue was frantic, like a monkey with its tail on fire, shouting loudly:
"Mom!"
"What about Lin Yu?"
"Has Lin Yu come?"
"He came, yes."
Mother Gu nodded calmly.
As a matter of fact, that child Lin Yu really left quite an impression.
He had a face that looked a bit roguish, but surprisingly, he was very polite.
Mother Gu still remembered how she had spent the whole morning looking forward to meeting him, almost like she was sizing up a potential son-in-law — and how, when she finally saw him, any expectations she had died a quiet death.
But after spending some time with him, Mother Gu felt the kid was actually pretty nice, quite well-mannered.
"When did he come?"
Gu Yue's eyes went wide, her face filled with despair.
"He came in the morning, around ten o'clock."
Mother Gu thought back and gave an approximate time.
"Then why didn't you wake me up!!!"
Gu Yue stomped her feet anxiously on the spot, on the verge of tears.
"I did call you."
"But no matter how I tried, you wouldn't wake up."
Mother Gu said calmly, moving the cup back and taking a sip of tea before continuing:
"Then your classmate saw you were sleeping soundly, so he told me not to wake you."
"And then he just left."
As she spoke, Mother Gu put down the teacup.
That morning.
Gu Yue had displayed her usual stubborn sleep-in style — impossible to wake.
When called, she’d just grumble and whine.
It gave the impression that if she were forcefully woken up, she’d definitely repay the favor with ingratitude.
Mother Gu remembered that she hadn't given up trying to wake Gu Yue at the time.
It was her classmate, Lin Yu, who couldn't sit still in the living room anymore. He followed her to the doorway of Gu Yue's bedroom and took a look.
Seeing that Gu Yue was impossible to rouse, he took the initiative to say forget it.
Then he left the place.
"Boo hoo hoo..."
"Wait!"
Gu Yue's face crumpled as if she was about to cry, but then she suddenly remembered something very important, and her expression turned serious as she asked:
"Did Lin Yu see me sleeping too?"
"He saw you, yes."
Mother Gu said frankly.
"Then... then... I..."
Gu Yue's eyes flickered with panic, and she grew shy, stammering until she couldn't even speak properly.
As Gu Yue's mother, Mother Gu naturally knew what Gu Yue meant. She smiled gently and said approvingly:
"Pretty cute."
"Just like you are now."
"R-really?"
Gu Yue blushed, asking again in a tiny voice.
"Really."
Mother Gu nodded, giving Gu Yue some confidence.
Mother Gu truly felt from the bottom of her heart that her daughter was quite cute.
She looked cute when happy, and cute when sad.
Even in her current state, she was cute.
All messy.
Like a little pig who had just been rolling around in the bushes.
How adorable~
Hearing this, a hint of shy delight mixed with a blush spread across Gu Yue's face.
Too curious to contain herself, she quickly walked toward the full-length mirror in the living room.
The moment she stood in front of the mirror, Mother Gu saw all the expressions on Gu Yue's face freeze.
It looked strangely unsettling.
"Mom."
"Are you saying that when I was asleep, this is exactly the kind of mess he saw?"
Gu Yue stood before the mirror for a long time before slowly turning around, her face showing a look of utter defeat, as she stared at her mom.
"Hmm..."
Mother Gu paused, recalling what Gu Yue's sleeping posture had looked like.
At the time, she was sprawled out on her big bed.
The hem of her dress, which barely reached her calves, had ridden up because of her bold sleeping position, revealing half of her smooth, round thighs.
Those youthful, collagen-rich thighs, bathed in sunlight, radiated a vibrant, energetic appeal.
It was around ten thirty in the morning.
The sunlight had also fallen on her already disheveled hair.
Mother Gu still remembered how sweet and content Gu Yue had looked while sleeping.
Her mouth was open.
A silly little smile curled at the corners of her lips, with drool tinged with lipstick dripping from the corner — it seemed like she was having such a beautiful dream that it made her want to blow bubbles out of her nose.
After recalling that memory.
Mother Gu looked at Gu Yue and nodded seriously, saying:
"Pretty much the same as you are now."
"But I think it might have been a little cuter than what I'm seeing now..."
"Waaaaaah!!!"
Before Mother Gu could even finish her sentence, Gu Yue suddenly opened her mouth wide and burst into tears, crying so loudly it was practically disturbing the neighbors.
Mother Gu frowned, watching her precious daughter sitting on the floor wailing, completely unable to understand.
She had been complimenting her all along — so why was she crying now?
Just as Mother Gu was at a loss for how to soothe her daughter, Gu Yue suddenly stopped crying.
Her pretty eyes were brimming with tears as she looked over, like a gambler clinging to a last shred of hope, her voice soft and trembling as she asked:
"Mom."
"Did Lin Yu say anything when he saw me?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Gu once again recalled what had happened that morning.
She suddenly caught the blind spot in the situation.
In her own eyes, her daughter was adorable, but in that man’s eyes, it clearly wasn’t the same.
His face at the time was dark and icy cold.
It was pure anger from being stood up and toyed with.
He looked kind of scary.
As for whether he said anything...
...
Mother Gu tried to recall, vaguely remembering something he muttered softly as he was leaving.
“I think he said you were...”
Mother Gu spoke softly as she remembered:
“A pig, or something like that.”
