Chapter Twenty-Six: His Forbearance
Although He Ting quelled Zhong Xiaoxiao's slander of Gu Guan's reputation in a timely manner, the rumors did not stop because of this, and there were still some remarks that were more or less unfavorable to Gu Guan.
But Gu Wan didn't care, she always felt that words were insignificant, and other people's opinions didn't matter, as long as it didn't materially endanger her, she couldn't care.
She didn't care, but there were still other people who took these rumors seriously and mocked her with them, and even Haifeng was one of them.
Lian Haifeng had been interested in Gu Wan for a long time and had pursued her. Helplessly, Gu Guan didn't eat soft and hard, didn't eat oil and salt, and always disdained him.
Although he couldn't catch up with Gu Guan, he didn't stalk her. But when he learned that Gu Wan was actually with He Ting, he felt unbearable.
Why can't Gu Wan look down on him, but he can look down on He Ting? Where is he not as good as He Ting?
Lian Haifeng has been married to He Ting, so he has always regarded He Ting as his enemy. And because the two have similar family backgrounds, he thinks he is handsome and handsome, but for some reason he is not as popular as He Ting, and he is very unconvinced.
So when the rumors spread, Lian Haifeng humiliated Gu Guan with disdain.
He said, "Gu Guan, I thought you were so tall that you still sold it to He Ting?" How much money did He Ting give you, I will pay double, and you will accompany me at night. β
Gu Wan was extremely angry, and didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he punched him directly. Even the sea breeze was caught off guard, but he reacted extremely quickly, and he was able to dodge this punch.
He looked at Gu Wan's angered appearance, but he felt quite funny, and smiled ruffianly, "Gu Guan, you will be mine sooner or later." β
Gu Wan snorted coldly, kicked him hard in the calf, and walked away.
This was just a small episode in Gu Guan's life, and she didn't tell He Ting about it. He Ting helped her quell the rumors, she was already grateful, and she didn't want to add more trouble to him.
Besides, she thought that even the sea breeze was so quick that he wouldn't do anything to her. But he didn't expect that the next day, he would swagger and pursue Gu Guan openly.
If the hard one doesn't work, he will come to the soft one.
He walked into the class with a large bouquet of roses, put it on Gu Guan's desk, and whispered in her ear, "Gu Guan, I won't give up on you." β
Gu Wan threw the bouquet directly out of the window, and even Haifeng turned blue with anger.
This incident caused a sensation in the whole school, and Gu Wan didn't want He Ting to know. Because of this, Gu Wan was also asked by the teacher to talk.
Although Gu Wan is usually taciturn, he has a gloomy and cold aura, which is not likable. But her academic performance is excellent, she has received scholarships all year round, and the teachers still have high expectations for her.
Naturally, she can't be allowed to fall in love early, and she still makes such a big fanfare, not to mention affecting her academic performance, and she also sets a bad example for other classmates, ideological education is inevitable.
When Gu Wan came out of the teacher's office, he saw He Ting standing at the door waiting for her.
He was full of worry, and seeing that Gu Guan's face was not depressed after being criticized, he frowned lightly and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about Haifeng harassing you?" β
Gu Wan said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal." β
He Ting was in a hurry, he held Gu Guan's arms, gritted his teeth and said, "Guanguan, someone wants to snatch you away from me, isn't this a big deal?" β
Gu Wan couldn't help but smile lightly when he watched He Ting say such childish words with such a serious expression.
She reached out and pinched He Ting's ear, and asked teasingly, "How old are you this year, why are you so naΓ―ve." β
He Ting said angrily, "It's not because I care about you." β
Gu Wan had no choice but to comfort him again, "Okay, even if someone wants to rob you, I won't leave you, isn't this okay, what are you anxious about." β
He Ting was overjoyed by Gu Guan's words, and immediately wanted to pick her up and turn around a few times.
Gu Wan hurriedly turned short and escaped from his arms. She had just been given a psychological education by the teacher because of Lian Haifeng's self-assertion, but she didn't want to be nagged by the teachers anymore because of the matter with He Ting.
She hurriedly said, "Isn't it your turn to be on duty today, you can go quickly." I'm going to work at the Internet cafΓ© first, so remember to pick me up at night. β
He Ting smiled and nodded, and responded, "Okay." β
After Gu Wan left, the smile on his face cooled down, revealing a grim expression, and his tone was so cruel that it seemed to crush the words in his mouth, "Lian, sea, wind." β
He Ting found Lian Haifeng in the gymnasium, and he said straight to the point, "Lian Haifeng, I warn you, Gu Wan is my person, don't beat her idea." β
Lian Haifeng showed a distorted smile and said slowly, "It's because it's your person that I want to beat her idea." β
He Ting replied coldly, "Lian Haifeng, the lesson from last time is not enough, isn't it?" β
Lian Haifeng's face turned pale in an instant.
The last time He Ting rectified Lian Haifeng, it was because he robbed Meng Fang's girlfriend. In order to help Meng let out his anger, He Ting actually found someone to follow him, took a photo of him going to a nightclub to hang out with unscrupulous people, and sent it directly to his father.
He was a high school student, and his private life was so erosive, he beat his father angrily and locked him up for a few days. After that, he strictly controlled his expenses, and every expenditure detail had to be reviewed by his father, so that he was not free for a long time.
Whenever he thought of this trouble, Lian Haifeng grinded his teeth angrily, "He Shao is very arrogant, but what else do you have to do besides complaining to my father?" It's better for us to compete, how about the loser give up Gu Guan? β
Of course, He Ting was not afraid of his challenge, and immediately responded, "Okay, better than what?" β
Lian Haifeng thought about it, looked at the basketball in his hand again, and suddenly smiled evilly, "It's better than basketball, but I still have something to do today, tomorrow at this time, this place, we'll see you again." β
He Ting and Lian Haifeng did not tell Gu Wan about the bet on basketball, but Meng Fang ran over to cheer after learning about it.
He shared the same hatred with He Ting, and said angrily, "Even Haifeng, a little white face, deceived my goddess, and abandoned it from the beginning." He Ting, you have to teach him a good lesson. β
He Ting responded easily while tying his shoes, "No problem." β
He thought confidently, compared to basketball, he hadn't lost yet, and Lian Haifeng was really asking for his own hardship.
But when the game started, He Ting jumped up and slammed the dunk and landed heavily, he found out that he was calculated by Lian Haifeng.
As soon as he hit the ground, he felt a tingling pain in the soles of his feet, and his body was crooked, and he almost fell. Distracted for a moment, even Haifeng has already scored a goal.
He Ting's eyebrows froze, and then he looked at Lian Haifeng, only to see that he was showing a sinister smile at himself that had succeeded in his trick.
He Ting didn't expect Lian Haifeng to be so despicable, knowing that he couldn't win him through legitimate means, so he used the means of the next three indiscriminate means to put a nail on the sole of his shoe.
The nails were not long, and he didn't feel it when he put them on and walked, but when he did strenuous exercise, especially when he ran and jumped, the nails pierced the soles of his shoes and drilled straight into the soles of his feet.
He Ting stood up in pain, and the anger between his eyebrows became heavier. He can't lose, he can't fall here, he can't lose Gu Guan.
He stood up, walked towards Lian Haifeng with resolute eyebrows, snatched the basketball in his hand, and blocked a few blocks one after another, making Lian Haifeng unable to parry, very embarrassed.
Even Haifeng didn't expect that He Ting would be able to walk on the ground even if he was injured, as if he was nothing, completely suppressing him.
He Ting was too ruthless, which made him a little flustered, his momentum was greatly reduced, and he lost the ball again and again.
When the whistle blew, the last three-pointer fell into the basket from He Ting's hand in a perfect arc, undoubtedly ending the game of disparity in strength.
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Meng Da walked to He Ting's side in stride, patted him on the shoulder hard, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, "Okay, you kid, this three-point shot is beautiful!" β
He Ting was slapped by him, but his body was half shorter, and the whole person fell.
Meng Da was shocked, hurriedly supported him, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
He Ting's face turned pale, and he said a little weakly, "Take me to the hospital." β
Meng Fang didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly called for help and sent He Ting to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Meng Fang learned that He Ting's sole had been pierced with a nail, and the sole of his shoe had been infected with blood. He had lost so much blood that he was as pale as paper.
Meng Fang knew after thinking about it that this must be Lian Haifeng's handiwork, no wonder he was so confident that he wanted to compete with He Ting in basketball.
He gritted his teeth viciously and scolded, "Lian Haifeng's grandson, is too insidious. β
He Ting's feet were bandaged, and a bag of blood was transfused, and then he regained his strength. He looked at the time, Gu Wan was about to get off work, so he struggled to get up.
Meng Fang held him down, "What are you doing, your injury is very serious, and you can't get out of bed and walk for the past few days." β
He Ting insisted, "I'll pick her up, and I promised to pick her up at night." β
Meng Fang was fed another mouthful of dog food, and said helplessly, "I'll help you pick her up, you can lie down obediently and recuperate." β
He Ting refused, "No, I can't let her know about this matter." β
Meng Fang was puzzled, "Why?" β
Meng Fang found that he couldn't understand He Ting more and more, whether it was Zhong Xiaoxiao's matter last time, or Lian Haifeng's matter this time, He Ting was all to help Gu Guan solve trouble, why didn't he take the opportunity to ask for credit, but instead wanted to hide it?
He Ting just said lightly, "I don't want her to worry, besides, it's not a big deal." β
In the past, he did do something for Gu Wan and wanted her to know, but now he felt that she didn't have to know everything, she just had to be happy. When the wind and rain come, he just carries it.
Meng Fang pouted, piercing nails is not a big deal, excessive blood loss is not a big deal, so what is a big deal?
He watched He Ting limp out of the ward, and suddenly remembered a fairy tale, the daughter of the sea.
The Little Mermaid had to endure the pain of walking on the tip of a knife every day in order to be able to meet the prince.
He felt that He Ting was the little mermaid who endured pain for love, and Gu Wan was the prince who was favored but didn't know it.
