To Love You Again

Why is he giving him candy, doesn\'t he think she was not fat enough?

"You are not fat."

"...Liar." Everyone calls her fat. A pig.

Gu Zhen pretended to think about it. "Hmm...Then a bit chubby?"

Song Xuantin looked at her chubby arms again. "Being chubby is not good too."

Gu Zhen sat beside her and looked at her closely. "Why it isn\'t good?"

Song Xuantin was being stared at. She would usually feel uncomfortable but this kid\'s stare was not strange like the others. She felt it was okay so she met his eyes.

"Others don\'t like it."

"Why?"

"Because..." Song Xuantin paused. Why do people don\'t like her being chubby? She also doesn\'t know but people say it\'s disgusting.

She lowered her eyes, "...B-because they say it\'s ugly."

"Do you really think so? But I don\'t think you are ugly."

Song Xuantin was stunned. For her, those words were more powerful than what those girls said. It was like someone said to her that there was nothing wrong with her and that it was the others who were wrong.

Song Xunatin\'s eyes were red. She felt like she finally found an ally. The grievances in her heart rose again.

"But others think I am too fat and ugly."

Gu Zhen looked closely at her again. "But you aren\'t. You are too fleshy than before but still pretty. And your heart is pretty too. My mother said people with good hearts are the most beautiful."

Those words resounded in Song Xuantin\'s heart. Like a pillar of light in her sinking world.

Her eyes lit up. "You are right."

She opened the candy and slowly melted it in her mouth.

Gu Zhen was right.

It was sweet.

Song Xuantin smiled sincerely for the first time in a long time. She could not help but look at Gu Zhen closely.

He has messy hair and long bangs. And his glasses...was broken.

"Your glasses are broken." Song Xuantin pointed out. "Can you see with a broken glass?"

Gu Zhen took off his glasses, and his beautiful pair of bright eyes were revealed.

Song Xuantin inwardly gasped in surprise.

This kid\'s Gu Zhen has long eyelashes than hers and his eyes were beautiful. Because he was always looking down at his tablet and most of his face was hidden under that thick glasses, no one noticed that Gu Zhen was also a beautiful child.

Song Xuantin had seen many child actors which were both pretty and handsome. And Gu Zhen could rival them too.

Coupled, with the good feelings Gu Zhen gave to her, she felt that Gu Zhen was so handsome and very kind.

"It\'s okay. These broken glasses are worth it." The kid Gu Zhen smiled.

And his smile....was good too.

"Hey, do you have a girlfriend?" Song Xuantin suddenly blurted out.

Gu Zhen answered honestly. "I don\'t have yet."

"Then how about I\'ll be your girlfriend?"

The majority of the students in their class have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Sherry, the most popular girl in the class, has three boyfriends. And Marlon, the most popular boy, has two girlfriends.

Song Xuantin felt like Gu Zhen was a treasure, so she wanted to get close to him. She liked him.

Gu Zhen blinked. He looked stunned.

There was a moment of silence.

Hearing no answer, Song Xuantin suddenly becomes nervous. She realized that she was not as pretty as before. She had messed up.

Song Xuantin turned red from embarrassment.

She was a straightforward child. Because she had been living in the spotlight before, she was confident that she could get what she wanted. But now...she was a fatty. A boy as cute as him won\'t like her.

Gu Zhen recovered.

"I..." He was about to answer when the bell rang interrupting him. The door from the conference room opened and the parents came out. People started to fill the empty hall.

Song Xuantin stood up with a red face.

"I am just joking. Bye!" She then ran away with her lunch box.

That was so embarrassing!

When she arrived in the room, she did not notice the chaotic crying of the girl who insulted her earlier. And the anger of the parents.

Song Xuantin was just immersed in her own embarrassment.

....

Later that night.

Song Xuantin rolled on her bed.

Why....why did she say that?!

How could she face her classmate Gu Zhen tomorrow?

While thinking of how to face Gu Zhen, the little girl fell asleep.

....

At the Gu\'s house, General Gu received a call from the homeroom teacher.

Because he has a busy schedule, General Gu wasn\'t able to come to the parent\'s meeting. The teachers knew well that the majority of the parents in the school has great status and responsibilities. So the school would send the summary of the meeting to those parents that did not come later at night.

However, these were only applicable to parents that have high status.

General Gu belonged to that category so he received the email later that night. But it was accompanied by a call.

"General Gu, Gu Zhen is a quiet child and this is the first time that it happened. However, the parents of that kid won\'t let this slide. Would it be okay for General Gu to come tomorrow and meet the parents?"

General Gu hasn\'t changed from his military outfit yet. His aura was intimidating and he looked scarier with a scowl on his face.

"I understand. I apologize for bothering Teacher Lin."

After the call ended, General Gu summoned his youngest son.

Gu Zhen came to his father\'s study. He was already wearing his pajama while holding a tablet.

General Gu frowned seeing that his child was still carrying the \'weapon\'.

"Did you hit your classmate with that tablet?"

Gu Zhen blinked. Then he realized what was this about.
