Chapter Twenty-Eight: His Guardian
Gu Wan didn't do well in the final exam, probably because she was too tired from studying while working, which caused her to fall asleep in the examination room and fail to finish answering the paper. This seriously lowered her score, so she missed out on the scholarship.
The scholarship is a lot of income for Gu Guan, after all, she works in an Internet cafΓ© at night, and her hourly salary is less than ten yuan, and she can't work for a few hours a day. When I go out on holidays to distribute flyers and pretend to be dolls, I only earn a few dozen yuan a day.
After the final exam, it was the winter vacation, and the New Year was approaching, He Ting was arrested by his family, and Gu Wan used the vacation to work part-time to make money as usual.
She got a job at the ski resort, and the manager was very supportive when she learned that she was using her winter break to work and study. She was allowed to work here part-time for the entire winter break, and she was also paid a higher salary than the average casual worker. Because the ski resort is far away from the city, it is also available for food and accommodation.
Gu Wan was very happy and immediately responded. During the day, she helped manage ski equipment, and at night she returned to the dormitory to write homework and read books.
He Ting gave her a mobile phone before, but she left in a hurry and forgot to bring it. She thought about whether to call He Ting to report her safety, but after a few days of struggle, the phone did not go out, but she met him at the ski resort.
He Ting came skiing with a few friends, and Gu Wan didn't expect to see Zhong Xiaoxiao in the middle of that group.
Her relationship with Zhong Xiaoxiao is extremely bad, but He Ting can still go skiing with her. Gu Wan suddenly felt as if he was blocked by something, blocking his breath, he couldn't go up or down, and he was uncomfortable.
As soon as He Ting saw Gu Guan, his face immediately changed from expressionless to sunny. He grinned at her, a big smile.
Gu Wan looked at him and was stunned for a moment.
At this time, someone said impatiently to Gu Guan, "Hurry up, what are you doing?" β
Gu Wan hurriedly retracted his gaze, said a few words of "I'm sorry" again and again, and was busy collecting money to register and get equipment.
When He Ting saw someone yelling at Gu Guan, he immediately became angry. But seeing Gu Wan guarding his job position so carefully, he thought that he couldn't bring her trouble because of his impulsiveness, so he endured it alive.
He Ting took advantage of the payment to say a few more words to Gu Guan, but was choked back by her cold words, "I'm sorry, it's working time, it's inconvenient to chat." β
He Ting shut his mouth stupidly, but ran back and forth several times, helping his friends get things one by one, just to take a few more glances at Gu Wan.
This move shocked his friends, He Ting has always been cold, when has he ever been so enthusiastic.
Zhong Xiaoxiao deliberately waited until He Ting left with others before paying for ski equipment.
Gu Wan brought her good things, but she glanced at the pair of ski shoes and said, "Give me a new pair." β
Gu Wan asked, "Why?" β
Zhong Xiaoxiao said, "It's not appropriate. β
Gu Wan was really going to be laughed at by her, "You haven't even tried, how do you know it's not suitable?" β
Zhong Xiaoxiao said confidently, "If you want to change it, you will change it, where is there so much nonsense?" What kind of service attitude do you have, believe it or not, I complained about you? β
Dare to wait for her here, Gu Wan glanced at her, didn't say anything, turned around and went to get her another pair of shoes.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was about to open her mouth and toss Gu Wan again, when she suddenly heard He Ting call her, "Zhong Xiaoxiao." β
He Ting's voice was cold and full of deep disgust, which made Zhong Xiaoxiao's whole body froze.
Her originally vicious expression immediately softened, and she said softly to Gu Wan, "I'm sorry, I'm really bothering you." β
Then she didn't care whether the shoes were suitable or not, so she picked them up and turned around and smiled at He Ting, and left.
He Ting looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao's back and showed an expression of disgust. When he turned to Gu Wan again, it was full of spring again. Gu Wan ignored him, didn't even look at him. He Ting felt a little hurt in his heart, so he had to turn around and leave silently.
Everyone else was having fun, only He Ting had been absent-minded, and finally managed to take a break at noon until Gu Wan, so he couldn't wait to find her.
Gu Wan sat in the corner of the rest area eating a boxed lunch, they had to take shifts during the lunch break, she was the last to come to eat, and the meal was already a little cold.
She had just taken two bites and felt a little pain in her stomach. She put down her chopsticks and wanted to pick up some hot water to drink, but the boxed lunch in front of her was suddenly taken away, and a steaming meal and a cup of hot milk tea were put on again.
Gu Wan looked up and smiled gently at He Ting.
She was still complaining in her heart that the relationship between He Ting and Zhong Xiaoxiao was unclear, so she angrily pushed the rice back and reached out to get the already cold and hard lunch. He Ting didn't speak, and changed the meal back.
The two of them were pulling and pulling, and they happened to be seen by the manager, so they asked, "Gu Guan, is this your friend?" β
He Ting immediately stood up and said hello, "Hello, I'm Gu Wan's ......."
was preempted by Gu Guan, "Manager, this is my classmate, just come here to play, just say a few words to me, and I'll go back to work in a while." β
The manager smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, it's lunch break, you can eat first." β
After the manager left, He Tingtie said with a blushing face, "Gu Guan, is the fact that I am your boyfriend so embarrassing for you, and you are so anxious to break off the relationship with me?" β
Gu Wan replied unceremoniously, "Yes, I'm like this, if you can't stand it, don't stay with me, go find Zhong Xiaoxiao." β
He Ting was inexplicably lost his temper by Gu Guan, a little aggrieved, but he suddenly understood something.
His eyes lit up and he asked, "Guanguan, are you jealous?" β
This discovery made He Ting extremely excited, and the heart that had just been hurt by Gu Guan's cruel words instantly came back to life.
Gu Wan turned his head and ignored him angrily.
He Ting patiently explained to her, "Zhong Xiaoxiao came with her cousin, and her cousin and my cousin are good friends. I didn't want to give my cousin face, so I didn't say anything when I knew she was coming. But I hate her so much that I don't even talk to her. β
Listening to He Ting's explanation, and being comforted by him gently, Gu Wan felt that he was too naΓ―ve, and he lost his temper because of such a trivial matter. But she was awkward and refused to bow her head to admit her mistake, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
He Ting took out the mobile phone he bought for her and stuffed it into her hand, and his tone was even more gentle, "Why don't you bring your mobile phone, I can't find you, I'm going crazy." β
He Ting said, leaned over to Gu Wan's side, and held her other hand to keep her warm. Her face was red, and she didn't dare to look at him, so she just stared at her phone.
Gu Wan turned on his mobile phone, a little puzzled, why are there so many missed calls, and they are all the same unfamiliar number.
This mobile phone was given to her by He Ting, and only his phone number was stored in it, and only he should know her number, who is this strange number?
Gu Wan asked suspiciously, "Who will call me?" β
He Ting said funny, "You forgot? Before the winter break, the school asked to report the emergency contact information, didn't you report this number? β
Only then did Gu Wan remember that in the past, she always reported her uncle's phone number. After I had a phone, I didn't want to have even this subtle connection with their family.
Gu Wan was even more puzzled, "What is the school looking for me for?" β
He Ting said, "You can just call and ask." β
Gu Wan hesitated, "But the school is on holiday, right?" β
He Ting shook his head, "There is a teacher on duty." β
Seeing that Gu Wan was still hesitating, He Ting directly took his mobile phone and dialed it, and said with a smile, "I'll help you ask." β
Frightened, Gu Wan hurriedly snatched the phone back, just kidding, He Ting's voice appeared in her mobile phone, what would the teacher think.
The phone was quickly connected, and Gu Wan said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm bothering you." I'm Gu Guan from the first class of high school......"
Before Gu Guan's words were finished, he was picked up by the teacher, "Ah, Gu Guan, that's the case, the school has set up a new scholarship for extremely poor students, and your conditions are very suitable." β
When Gu Wan heard the word scholarship, he almost jumped up with excitement.
She suppressed the excitement in her heart, tried her best to remain calm and asked, "Teacher, what are the conditions?" β
There was a sound of looking through the paper, and then the teacher said, "The academic performance must be in the top 15 of the grade, it must be a girl, it must be a single-parent family, and it must be living alone......"
Gu Guan's previous grades were in the top five in his grade, and he could get a high scholarship. This time, she was ranked fifteenth, just stuck on the edge of the scholarship for extremely poor students. After that, the more she listened, the more she felt that it was tailor-made for her, and she met every one.
She immediately asked, "Teacher, how do you apply for this?" β
The teacher said, "When you have time, just come to the school and fill out the application form." The materials about your family conditions have been submitted when you applied for the scholarship before, and the school has filed them, so you don't need to submit them again. β
Gu Wan curled the corners of his lips, "Thank you, teacher!" I'll go tomorrow! β
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wan couldn't hold back her excitement anymore, she smiled and said to He Ting, "He Ting, the school has set up a new scholarship for extremely poor students, and the teacher said that my conditions are very good, so let me go to the school to fill in the application." β
He Ting was more excited than her, "Great, I'll go with you tomorrow." β
Gu Wan nodded vigorously, "Hmm." β
She was so happy, so happy that He Ting kissed her on the face and didn't react.
Gu Wan's face turned red after realizing it, and he glared at He Ting, "Why are you like this, there are so many people." β
He Ting smiled cheekily, "What's the matter, I'm happy." Would you like to kiss me and express the joy in your heart? β
Gu Wan turned his head and ignored him, "Don't." β
He Ting looked at Gu Guan's bright smile, and his heart was extremely happy, even happier than if he had encountered something good.
The only regret is that if Gu Wan had received this call earlier, he would not have worked so hard in the cold days to make more money. She can do some light work and earn less without worrying about it.
This scholarship for extremely poor students was set up by He Ting with his own savings specifically for Gu Guan.
In order to train He Ting as a successor, He Liancheng let him learn investment and financial management by himself early on, and take care of some small businesses, he is a small rich man.
When he went to the teacher to talk about it, the teacher listened to the conditions he reported, and laughed a few times at that time, to sum up, isn't this a scholarship specially designed for Gu Guan?
He Ting begged the teacher not to tell Gu Guan the truth. He knew that Gu Wan had a strong self-esteem, and if he knew that he was helping her, he would definitely not accept it.
He Ting set up a scholarship for Gu Wan and bought her a mobile phone, wanting to make her happy. Unexpectedly, she still went out to work by herself and didn't use his phone.
He Ting knew that Gu Wan had always been independent, and she would take care of herself. But he was worried in his heart, and it took a lot of effort to find out that she was working here, so he came to find her urgently.
Although she was jealous and had an awkward relationship with him, it also showed him how much she cared about him. Everything he did for her was not wishful thinking, and his payment was reciprocated, which made him feel extremely happy and satisfied.
I don't know when it started, he has always been indifferent, he has also learned to give, learned to silently guard a person, learned to take into account the feelings of others, and learned to love, all because of Gu Guan.
He Ting turned his head to look at Gu Guan, and the smile on his face deepened.
