439: C439 Grow up

C439 Grow up

It took Gu Xiaobai half a day to turn the refrigerator to the eggs, but he did not hear Tang Tang's reply.

He turned around in confusion, only to discover that under the shadow of the lamp, the girl who had recently gained some weight was lowering her head. Her hands were tightly gripping the hem of her skirt, and her shoulders were trembling slightly in suspicion.

Gu Xiaobai frowned slightly, put down the egg, and walked over.

He wanted to raise Tang Tang's head, but she stubbornly turned it away. Gu Xiaobai stubbornly straightened her head.

Her dark and bright eyes were misty. There were still shallow tears on her face that had yet to dry up. They were faintly glowing under the light. Perhaps because she was afraid that others would hear her crying, the girl's upper teeth tightly bit her lower lip. Her normally bright red lips were bitten until they turned white.

Gu Xiaobai's heart ached. He quickly pinched her cheeks and pressed his index finger against her teeth to forcefully pry open her teeth.

"Why are you crying? Even if you're crying, don't hurt yourself. You're going to break your teeth." Gu Xiaobai was extremely anxious. He could not get angry at her, so he could only suppress his voice and ask her gently.

"big brother Xiaobai." Unexpectedly, the gentler he was, the more Tang Tang cried. Even she did not know why, but she felt inexplicably wronged.

Her voice was hoarse. "Why are you so good to me? Don't be so good to me. I'm not worth it. "

The girl's voice was hoarse and stubborn, carrying a slight sense of inferiority. Hearing this, Gu Xiaobai's entire heart softened into a puddle of water.

He did not dare to reveal his feelings, but he was afraid that she would see through his face, so he could only stretch out his hands and pull her into his embrace.

"Don't be silly, you're worth it."

Tang Tang suddenly burst into tears like a reservoir that had broken a dam.

Gu Xiaobai was helpless and could only coax her in a flurry, but it was useless. He could only feel the clothes on his chest getting more and more wet.

After a long time, Tang Tang sat at the dining table, sobbing as she scooped up a large spoonful of Egg Fried Rice and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Xiaobai looked at her almost childish look and raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Tang Tang nodded. "Delicious!"

"Burp!" She suddenly burped and immediately covered her mouth with her hand that did not hold a spoon in fear.

"Pfft." Gu Xiaobai held back his laughter.

Tang Tang suddenly glared at him.

Gu Xiaobai hurriedly waved his hand: "I was wrong. I won't laugh anymore. Eat slowly. Be careful not to choke."

As he spoke, he poured her a glass of water and pushed it over.

Tang Tang took the water and took a sip. Then, she swallowed the rice in her mouth and began to eat slowly.

The restaurant was unusually quiet for a moment. Only the sound of the spoon and the plate hitting each other could be heard from time to time.

Only when Tang Tang cleaned the plate clean and prepared to wash the dishes did Gu Xiaobai pull her back.

"There's no need to wash it. Auntie will wash it tomorrow. It's getting late. Hurry up and wash up and go to bed."

He took the plate in her hands very naturally and walked into the kitchen.

Tang Tang stood blankly and looked down at her empty hands. Her heart suddenly jumped, and then she slowly walked towards the room.

Neither of them had mentioned anything about this night.

But ever since then, Gu Xiaobai clearly felt that Tang Tang had become much more confident, as if she had made up her mind, and her fighting spirit was high.

She was still very diligent, but she did not put in so much effort. It was as if she had learned how to take good care of herself overnight.

The vacation ended. That day, Tang Tang supported Grandfather Tang to stand on the balcony on the second floor.

Grandfather Tang looked once again at the island he had lived on for many years and was somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"Little Tang." He said, "If one day Grandfather dies, bury Grandfather's ashes on this island."

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? You're still young." Tang Tang was as dissatisfied as usual.

Grandpa Tang chuckled and didn't bother with her question.

"None of this is important. What's important is that the Gu family is a charity family. Little Tang, when you grow up, you must not be ungrateful, understand?"

Tang Tang nodded and did not say anything. She quietly looked at Xiaoxin who was happily jumping around downstairs.

From today onwards, she would completely leave this island and go to a wider world.

She would never forget those people who treated her well, especially...

"Grandpa, Little Tang, it's about time to leave." Gu Xiaobai stood in the corridor and greeted them.

The person that he was thinking of just now instantly appeared in front of him. Tang Tang felt her heart beating faster.

She nodded. "It's here."

Then, she supported Grandfather Tang and slowly walked down the stairs.

Tang Tang went to the same class as Xiaoxin.

Qin Muxuan originally wanted to hold a gathering for Tang Tang before school started and tell everyone that the Gu family had an additional daughter, but she was stopped by Tang Tang.

She said word by word, "Mother, I am your daughter. You, I, we know it is enough."

"Letting more people know will not have a better impact."

Qin Muxuan was a little worried. "What if others do not know your identity and bully you?"

Xiaoxin was also worried beside her mother.

Tang Tang suddenly laughed, her right hand clenched into a fist, and pointed at herself with her thumb, saying confidently: "Mom, you have to believe that no one can bully me."

Under Tang Tang's forceful suppression, the matter was ultimately left unresolved.

Spring left and autumn came. In the blink of an eye, Tang Tang and Xiaoxin ascended into high school.

After the summer break's sudden tutoring and unremitting efforts, she easily caught up with the school's progress in her third year of junior high. She was even much more outstanding than ordinary students.

During the middle school exams, she did well. Xiaoxin also worked hard under her supervision.

In the end, the two sisters got into the best high school in the city.

Although the gathering that year was not successful, the news of the Gu family having a little girl spread like wildfire.

Although there were many people who made wild guesses and tried to bully Tang Tang or instigate her relationship with Xiaoxin, they were all beaten away by her.

Because of this, the relationship between the two girls became even closer.

"Little Tang, what do you think about this? It's very beautiful!" Xiaoxin pointed at an exquisite pendant and said happily. She wanted to buy it and was eager to try.

Tang Tang glanced at it. It was indeed pretty, but this price was also pretty.1

"You like it very much?" she asked.

Xiaoxin nodded repeatedly and looked at her with sparkling eyes full of expectation.

"Alright." Tang Tang was helpless and rolled up her sleeves to prepare for a big fight. "Boss, this, do you want to sell it for 50?"

She cut off half of the price effortlessly, leaving Xiaoxin who was full of admiration in the shop waiting for the boss to pack up. She walked out of the shop and prepared to take a breather.

It was drizzling outside. Tang Tang was wondering if she should call the driver to pick him up or call him back when a tall man walked in front of her.

"You are Tang Tang? That daughter of the Gu family who suddenly appeared?"
