Unanticipated Nearing
However, Li Yizheng didn't say anything. He just turned his head around and kept a normal expression. Then, he looked at Teacher Zhang on the podium and began to listen to the lecture attentively.
Although his gaze was on the blackboard, Li Yizheng's mind wasn't on it. After all, such a ridiculous thing had happened. He needed to calm down and think about it carefully.
At this time, Gu Shihui opened her book. She placed her arms on the desk and her face on her palms as she looked at the blackboard.
Suddenly, Gu Shihui sniffed and leaned her head closer to Li Yizheng to sniff again.
After all, Li Yizheng was still a teenager. He was a little overwhelmed by Gu Shihui's sudden action. His face and ears turned red instantly.
"You... What are you doing?" Li Yizheng asked nervously.
Gu Shihui said to him sternly, "Did you go for a smoke after class just now?"
Li Yizheng looked slightly stunned and nodded. "Yes, What's wrong?"
Gu Shihui glanced at him and turned her head away.
Li Yizheng was still confused. He didn't understand what was going on.
Li Yizheng was confused for a long time before he finally understood that Gu Shihui was concerned about him.
Hence, he quickly promised Gu Shihui, "I promise to smoke less in the future."
Gu Shihui merely curled her lips and seemed to roll her eyes. She ignored him.
"You only know to say and promise. If you really could smoke less, you wouldn't have been diagnosed with lung cancer after being married for less than a year.", Gu Shihui thought to herself.
Gu Shihui's complaints filled Li Yizheng's mind and he was shocked. "I got lung cancer not long after I got married?"
"If that's the case, I must smoke less in the future."
"No, I'd better quit smoking." Li Yizheng decided in his heart.
Seeing Li Yizheng's thoughtful look, Gu Shihui didn't say anything.
"What month is it now?" Gu Shihui suddenly sat up straight and asked Li Yizheng.
Li Yizheng thought for a moment. "It's June 15th. What's wrong?"
"Huh? Nothing." Gu Shihui collapsed on the table like a deflated rubber ball.
[ Sigh, it's still too late. It would be good if I was reborn a few days earlier. Maybe I could even think of a way to stop my hubby's parents from divorcing.]
Hearing Gu Shihui's thoughts, Li Yizheng couldn't help but feel touched.
That's right. Li Yizheng's parents went to work in a big city to earn money. However, it didn't take long for Li Yizheng's mother to demand a divorce from his father.
The reason was very simple. When she arrived in a big city, she met a big boss who attended to her every want. She felt that she had met her "true love".
She didn't want to live that frugal life with Li Yizheng's father anymore. She wanted to pursue her freedom.
After Li Yizheng's father found out, it wasn't that he didn't try to save the marriage but his mother had already made up her mind to divorce.
So his father simply let go and let his mother pursue her so-called happiness.
However, his father only made one request which was to temporarily not divulge their divorce to Li Yizheng who was about to take the college entrance exam.
His father felt that it would affect Li Yizheng's mood during the exam.
Li Yizheng's mother also agreed.
But what they didn't know was that Li Yizheng was standing at the door at that time in a place where they couldn't see. He was listening to every word they said.
At this moment, Gu Shihui looked at Li Yizheng and sighed in her heart.
[ No wonder my hubby smokes. His parents are getting divorced. If it's me, I will not feel good either. ]
[ But my hubby can't question his parents face to face. He can only take it in slowly. ]
[ And he's not able to tell his friends about this kind of thing that happened at home. So my hubby can only relieve his emotions through smoking. ]
[ Sigh, it's not easy for my hubby either. ]
Li Yizheng was touched when he heard the first part of the sentence. However, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch a few times when he heard Gu Shihui's last sentence was filled with sympathy,
"You sympathize with your husband?" Li Yizheng wanted to ask Gu Shihui about it.
But in the end, he endured it.
He said to Gu Shihui in an awful tone, "Class is over. Are you going to take some water?"
"Oh, yes." Gu Shihui was confused. She didn't understand why his temperament changed suddenly.
The two of them got up and left their seats. Just as they reached the door, Gu Shihui suddenly stopped.
She turned around and looked at Li Yizheng seriously.
Li Yizheng had a puzzled look on his face. Wasn't she going to take some water?
Why did she suddenly stop?
But before Li Yizheng could open his mouth to ask, Gu Shihui looked at him seriously and said, "To be honest, you should smoke less in the future. It's best if you can quit. If you're upset and wish to smoke, then you should smoke fewer mouthfuls."
Li Yizheng's lips curled into an incomprehensible smile and said, "I got it, I got it."
Then, he tapped at the tip of Gu Shihui's nose and said, "Little brat, you're so long-winded."
When Gu Shiyu heard Li Yizheng calling her a little brat, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes in her heart as she ridiculed him.
[ You still call me a little brat? I am reborn from ten years ago. You don't know how much older I am than you. You're the little brat. ]
After Li Yizheng heard Gu Shihui's thoughts, he suddenly came to a realization.
After all, the goddess had been reborn from 2021. Her mental age was indeed much more mature than him.
He really couldn't treat the goddess the way he treated his peers.
Otherwise, what if the goddess thought he was childish.
Gu Shihui didn't know that Li Zhengyi's heart was unrested.
Gu Shihui had already taken a few steps forward. When she saw that Li Yizheng was still in a daze and didn't follow her, she couldn't help but frown and say, "Do you still want water?"
Li Yizheng cleared his throat and pretended to be calm as he said, "I'll be right there."
Thus, he slowly walked toward Gu Shihui.
Gu Shihui felt that it was a little strange seeing him like this but she did not say anything. The two of them walked side by side towards where the water was.
Soon, the school was over. As it was Friday, the school did not give the students extra lessons. Instead, they were told to go home early.
Gu Shihui and Li Yizheng were also packing their school bags and preparing to leave school.
"Do you want to have dinner together tonight?" Gu Shihui turned her head and asked Li Yizheng.
Li Yizheng nodded, so the two of them carried their school bags and walked outside.
When they came to a noodle shop, Gu Shihui occasionally looked up at Li Yizheng who was eating noodles. It seemed that she wanted to say something, but she hesitated.
Li Yizheng also noticed it, but he did not ask. He just quietly ate his noodles.
At this moment, Gu Shihui was thinking, "Since I've been reborn ten years ago, I must make good use of this opportunity."
"And in this life, I must earn a lot of money. I want any house, car, or any opportunity!"
"I don't believe I can't succeed in whatever I do in this life since I already have the experience of my previous life."
