That night, Mo Ziyan and Gu Qingli confirmed each other's positions and officially became a couple.
After returning to her dormitory, Mo Ziyan lay in bed and thought about Gu Qingli's face. Her face flushed red and her heart raced. She never imagined that her dream would come true.
Gu Qingli was too elegant; like a painting. Yet, this man was actually holding her hand …
It seemed, Mo Ziyan was destined to have insomnia that night …
The next day, Mo Ziyan woke up with dark circles under her eyes. However, her roommate was quite shocked, "Ziyan, did you have insomnia last night? Why are your eyes so dark? "
Mo Ziyan immediately went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. But, she discovered her eyes were swollen and she couldn't face anyone. Gu Qingli still had class that day.
Although she really wanted to go, when she saw her ugly appearance, she decided to skip class.
Even though she knew that Gu Qingli would be angry …
Not long after class ended, she received a phone call from Gu Qingli. The man on the other end of the phone asked calmly, "Why aren't you in class?"
"My eyes aren't feeling well … After I came back last night, they were swollen."
"Come to the library at noon," Gu Qingli said gently. "I'll wait for you there."
Mo Ziyan had no choice but to put on some makeup to cover up the pain in her eyes. As soon as she entered the library and found Gu Qingli, she quickly lowered her head in case he saw her stupid side.
"Look up," Gu Qingli said.
Mo Ziyan lifted her head with difficulty and tried her best to open her eyes. She was expecting her image to be destroyed in an instant. But, Gu Qingli simply chuckled and stretched out his hands to massage her eyes.
"Did you have insomnia last night?"
"Uh huh," Mo Ziyan nodded. "I couldn't sleep. I was afraid I was dreaming."
Gu Qingli chuckled as his hands became even gentler, "Do you want me to whisper in your ear every day that you're not dreaming?"
"It doesn't feel real."
Mo Ziyan lifted her head and looked at her swollen eyes. But, Gu Qingli felt that Mo Ziyan was extremely cute like this. So, he couldn't help but place a kiss on her lips, "Does it still feel surreal?"
"One more kiss, I'll feel more real."
Gu Qingli rubbed Tangning's eyes and said, "I'll give you some extra lessons and then let you go home to get some rest. Next time, you're not allowed to skip my lessons. Even if others don't support me, as my girlfriend, shouldn't you support me as well?"
"You don't lack popularity."
"But, I'm missing you." After saying this, Gu Qingli flipped open his textbook and began to tutor Mo Ziyan.
In reality, Mo Ziyan was more than satisfied. She knew that Gu Qingli was so serious because it was easy for him to fail a subject.
He also hoped that Mo Ziyan would succeed on her first try and no longer have to endure the torture of these engineering courses.
Mo Ziyan looked at the man she loved the entire time. She felt like she had absorbed a lot of energy and her eyes no longer felt so uncomfortable.
During class, Gu Qingli did not take up a single minute of Mo Ziyan's time. After closing his textbook, he said, "Go home and have a good rest. I won't call you out for dinner tonight."
"No … I want to eat with you," Mo Ziyan immediately said.
"Then I'll call you after class." After speaking, Gu Qingli picked up his textbook and patted Mo Ziyan on the head before he left the library. Meanwhile, Mo Ziyan was overjoyed.
After returning to the dormitory, Mo Ziyan immediately went to catch up on some sleep. But, her dreams were filled with the elegant Gu Qingli.
Mo Ziyan slept until she received a phone call from Gu Qingli. But, as she got out of bed, she noticed that her roommate was looking at the information that Gu Qingli had printed out for her.
"Ziyan, you didn't print this yourself, did you?"
"That's right," Mo Ziyan quickly avoided the topic.
"Professor Gu's notes are on it …" Her roommate looked at her suspiciously.
"You're wrong." After speaking, Mo Ziyan snatched the documents from Mo Ziyan's hands and hugged them in her arms. "As you know, I have a crush on Professor Gu, so I like to copy him."
"That's true. If there was a test related to Professor Gu, I'm sure you'd score full marks," Mo Ziyan's roommate believed Mo Ziyan's explanation and did not ask further.
Meanwhile, Mo Ziyan found another place to put the documents away. She then tidied up a little and headed out to look for Gu Qingli.
The two agreed to meet outside the school. Gu Qingli wasn't dressed in a suit today. Instead, he was dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans. Even the simplest outfit looked extremely charming to Mo Ziyan.
"Do you want a tissue?" Gu Qingli asked when he saw the glow in Mo Ziyan's eyes.
"How dare you laugh at me," Mo Ziyan said angrily. "You must be proud, right?"
Gu Qingli chuckled and held onto Mo Ziyan's hand, "Of course I'm proud to be admired by my girlfriend."
Mo Ziyan lowered her head and looked at the two holding hands. Her heart couldn't help but race. But, after a few steps, Gu Qingli suddenly stopped and let go of Mo Ziyan's hand.
Mo Ziyan didn't quite understand what was going on. But, she soon noticed a well-dressed woman standing not too far away with a 7-8-year-old boy.
Mo Ziyan had a feeling that this woman was related to Gu Qingli in some way.
As expected, as soon as the light turned green, the woman walked over with the boy. She then approached Gu Qingli and asked, "Son, do you have time to talk?"
"We don't have much to talk about." After speaking, Gu Qingli grabbed onto Mo Ziyan's hand again and pulled her away from the mother and son.
The two did not say a word on the way home. Only after they were quite a distance away did Mo Ziyan hear Gu Qingli's voice, "Ziyan, can you accompany me somewhere?"
"OK," Mo Ziyan replied.
Afterwards, Gu Qingli changed cars and drove Mo Ziyan to a quiet cemetery.
Mo Ziyan felt a little cold, but luckily, Gu Qingli had his arm around her the entire time.
"Are you scared?"
"You're here," Mo Ziyan replied.
Soon, the two arrived at Gu Qingli's father's grave. Looking at the photo, Gu Qingli's father looked elegant and refined. No wonder Gu Qingli was so elegant.
"My father was a sculptor. But, when he was 41, he contracted lung cancer. To treat his illness, our family sold all our assets. But, who would have thought that the money that saved his life would be used by my mother to invest in stocks. So, in the end, my father died from the pain."
"From then on, I lived on my own. Because my grades weren't bad, I relied on scholarships to support me until I graduated from university. Afterwards, I made some investments and made a lot of money."
"I brought you to see my father today not only because it's his birthday, but also because I want you to understand the hidden side of me."
"I'm afraid I'll never be able to acknowledge my mother in this lifetime. Can you accept that?"
