Just as she finished speaking, Gu Zi's phone rang.

"Young Master Gu, I have reached the designated location. Please give me your instructions."

"Use this villa as the center and circle around it. My goal is to use the wind created by the propellers to blow away all the balloons on the rooftop and in the garden."

Immediately, Gu Zi Wen and Ming Xue Mo felt the strong wind blowing towards them from all directions, and the balloons lying on the ground were all lifted up into the air by the strong wind, scattering in all directions without a trace.

Ming Xue Mo leaned against Gu Zi's chest. As she watched this magnificent scene, the corners of her mouth lifted high into the air. All of her worries flew away. Right now, her heart was full of happiness and emotions.

The wind blew Gu Zi's eyes shut, but this didn't stop him from seeing the smile on Ming Xue's face that was even brighter than the night lights of helicopters. Her hair flew wildly in the wind, sometimes covering her eyebrows, sometimes covering her eyes, sometimes covering her nose, sometimes covering her entire face, but she didn't seem to be in a sorry state. Instead, it made her delicate little face look even more messy and indescribably beautiful.

Gu Qishao suddenly realized that even if she didn't stare at him without moving, he wouldn't have dared to look at her directly. Was it the hair that occasionally brushed his face, making him feel itchy and numb?

It must be.

Gu Zi asked as he reached out his hand and stroked her hair again and again, as if he had turned into a demon. "Look, your hair is all messed up." The tone of his voice was extremely gentle, like never before in his life. However, his voice was drowned in the sound of the wind, and he couldn't feel it …

Ming Xue Mo couldn't hear what he said clearly, but at this moment, she didn't need to use her ears to listen, she just needed to use her heart to feel it. She lifted her arms and, imitating his movements, held his hair in the wind. "You too," she said with a smile.

Just like that, the two of them held each other's head and tightly leaned against each other. In this night where the night was dark and windy, their eyes could only look at each other. They were also the only ones in each other's world …

After an unknown period of time, time no longer held any meaning for them, because in that instant, it had become eternal.

The helicopter hovering overhead flew away. The airflow around them suddenly changed, and Mingxue couldn't help but shiver. "It's so cold."

Gu Qishao hurriedly wrapped her two small hands around his big palms and rubbed her hands together as he led her downstairs. "Hurry back to your room and take a hot shower before you catch a cold."

"En!" Ming Xuemei replied and went downstairs with him.

After returning to her room, instead of taking a shower, she took a brand-new towel from the cloakroom and placed it on his shoulder. "You warm up too." Then he went back, found a pair of pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

After about half an hour, she came out wiping her hair.

"It's so late, and you're still washing your hair?" Gu Zi asked, looking at the time with his wrist. There were only a few minutes left before one. Very naturally, he tore off the large towel that he was wearing and walked over to help her wipe her hair.

"I accidentally washed them together."

Gu Zi glanced at her with an unreadable expression. "Why do you have the same problem as me?"

It's a good thing to have the same habits as you.

"Where's the hairdryer?" Gu Zi asked. It was too much of a waste of time wiping.

"In the bathroom."

She put the towel in her hand and headed for the bathroom. After he took out the hair dryer, he plugged it into the socket at the head of the bed and said to Mingxue, "I'll help you blow your hair. You go to sleep first."

"What do you think we should do?" Gu Zi felt that she had asked a super silly question. "I'll go home when you fall asleep. Let me tell you, our Teacher Tang has set many family rules. If I don't stay at night, she'll ask me to write a search warrant."

Mingxue Mo smiled but didn't say anything. If she didn't return home, she would have to review the book. It was a very loving punishment.

However … Why didn't he go home? She didn't have the intention of letting him stay the night. She definitely didn't have the guts to do so. Mygod, why did she ask such a crazy question? It was so embarrassing.

He couldn't wait to fall asleep in a second, so he got into bed, hung his hair on the edge of the bed, and closed his eyes.

Gu Zi first tested the wind and temperature on the back of his hand. After selecting the suitable second form, he suddenly turned it off and said, "Let me ask you something first. Will you be able to take the test properly tomorrow?"

Ming Xue Mo opened her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering. She said simply and firmly, "I must be able to!"

"It's a deal."

"It's a deal."

"Hurry up and go to sleep. Otherwise, be careful not to fall asleep during the exam."

Mingxue gently nodded and closed her eyes.

Gouzi asked as he turned on the blower again, carefully helping her to blow her hair.

Ming Xue quickly fell asleep. This day, she had experienced a lot of ups and downs, and was truly tired.

After Gu Zi had dried her hair, he put his arm around her shoulders and put her head on the pillow and covered her with the quilt. Looking at her innocent sleeping face, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a doting smile.

After putting the hair dryer back in the bathroom, he adjusted his hair in the mirror, turned off the chandelier on her roof, and returned to the Gu household.

A week later, the final exam results were released. As Mimo had predicted, her ranking fell to third place in the whole school due to her failure in the Mathematics exam. In the past, when she deliberately failed, she had even dropped out of the top ten. However, her final grade this time around was not satisfactory, but it had attracted an unprecedented reprimand from her parents. The reason was naturally because they felt that she did not listen to them and had to waste her precious time on disgraceful things like home tutors, causing her grade to drop.

In response to this, Momo didn't want to say anything. They didn't ask her why she hadn't done well, so they started scolding her. Then what else was there to explain, if they wanted to scold her, she would listen; after they scolded her, she would hang up, and that would be that. Her relationship with her parents had grown more and more rigid. When she had promised Gu Si that she would teach him, she had never imagined that this would be the result.

Aunt Yun could easily tell that the conflict between her and her parents had escalated. On Saturday night, Dai Weiping called back, and before Aunt Yun told Mumo to pick up, she asked, "Madam, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Are you and mister coming back for the new year?"

Mingxue was just around the corner. Although she couldn't hear what her mother said, she could tell from Aunt Yun's expression that they weren't coming back.

Ming Xue Mo felt that her mood at that time wasn't that of disappointment, but more like relief. The answer was revealed, she finally no longer had to hold on to the impossible hope. Whenever this happened, she wished that she could graduate quickly. She wished that she could leave the country and never return to this home that she was not even worthy of being called.

However … The current her was different from half a year ago. If it was before, she would have been able to say goodbye to everything here, but now, she had someone that she couldn't let go of. She had the Brother Gu that was so nice to her and she liked him so much, if she confessed to him successfully, would she still be willing to leave?

Ming Xue Mo was extremely confused, these two months she had been telling herself to cherish the present, to not leave any regrets, if she really followed the original plan to go abroad to study, how could she not feel regret? The thought of parting ways with Big Brother Gu made her heart sour and bitter. It was an unpleasant feeling. However, if she chose to stay behind for him, it meant that she had to continue living a painful life like how she was now, in a place where she had nothing to stay but him …

On one side was her extremely disappointed parents, and on the other was Big Brother Gu, whom she liked more than yesterday. She didn't know which side had a deeper influence on her, nor did she know how to choose. Perhaps, only on the day of her graduation and with the parting before her, would she be able to figure out who was more important to her …

Mingxiu was sitting in the bookcase with a Hello Kitty doll in her arms, playing with a jigsaw puzzle she'd given her on the day she took her report card, congratulating her on winning a first-class scholarship. With the same result and two completely different attitudes, she couldn't help but feel lost …

Her cell phone suddenly rang. She stood up and walked over to pick it up. There was no need to look. No one else would be looking for her in the morning.

"Big Brother Gu —"

"Little girl, are you free tonight?" asked Gu Zi, one hand holding the phone while the other was busy signing and approving documents. He was very busy during the period before the new year. He only saw her once in a while on the day she got the report card, but he didn't see her for the next week.

"What's the matter?"

"We're also on vacation tomorrow. Tonight is the company's last tooth dinner, come over together."

"This is your company's party, so I won't be going." It didn't seem appropriate for Mingxue to say she was there.

Gouzi didn't think so. In any case, many people in his company had seen her at A'Mo's wedding. She had also been to his company, so what did it matter if they ate together?

"Are you sure you won't come? There are some lucky draw events. " He threw an olive branch at her.

Ming Xue Mo laughed lightly: "You think my luck is good, you want to use me to win the prize back?"

Ming Xue Mo laughed out loud.

Gu Zi asked, "Gu Si's rank in their class rose to fifth place this semester. I still haven't had the chance to thank you. Give me your face." This time it was in a serious tone.

"What do you mean by a meal?"

"Then at least kill three birds with one stone." Gu Zi didn't even try to hide it from her. "I'm flying to Taiwan tomorrow night. I'll be back in the afternoon, and the day after tomorrow will be New Year's Eve. If I don't treat you to a meal today, then I won't have time."

As Ming Xue Mo listened to Gu Zi's questions, she felt sorry for him for his hard work. Since he was so busy, she didn't want to waste his time.

She just agreed, "Okay, I'll go."
