Stuttering Big Boss’s White Moonlight

ittle face was filled with a smile, her voice so gentle it seemed like it could melt.

Gu Miao pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Cheng Chu wasn't angry either, she just turned her head to the group of boys and girls and said, “My friend is here, I want to accompany him, you guys go eat.”

“Don't go.” The leader of the boys looked at Gu Miao and his tone was somewhat unfriendly.
“Today is Yan Shi's birthday, don't spoil the fun.
Why don't you bring your friend along?” 

Cheng Chu shook her head.
“No, he's shy.
Please apologize to Zhou Yanshi for me and I'll make up for the gift tomorrow.”

The boy was unwilling to give up, but Ji Mingyue stopped him.
“Let her go, she didn't want to come in the first place,” she whispered.

“But…” The boy sighed and swallowed his words.
The goddess that Zhou Yanshi secretly admired had just run away.
He was going to get scolded when he got there.

Ji Mingyue waved at Cheng Chu.
“Be safe, Chuchu.
Go home early.”

Cheng Chu smiled happily and waved at the group of people.
“Sorry, everyone.
I'll treat you another day and you can choose the place.”

The group of people didn't blame her and left with smiles on their faces.

The small flowers on the roadside bent over in the night breeze.

Cheng Chu asked, “Have you eaten yet?” 

Gu Miao shook his head.

A smile appeared in the girl's eyes, “Let's eat together.
There's a really delicious restaurant near the school gate, I'll take you there.”

Gu Miao watched the girl's slender figure and felt a warmth slowly seeping into his icy heart.

The restaurant was just across from the school, not big, but very clean.

Cheng Chu handed him the menu, “You can order whatever you want.”

The boy shook his head, “It's my first time here, I'm not familiar with the menu.”

“Then we'll have sweet and sour pork ribs, dry-fried cabbage, stir-fried beef, two bowls of rice, and mango juice for drinks.”

She ordered decisively, propping her head up with both hands and saying to Gu Miao, “I remember you like sweet and sour pork ribs.
You mentioned it when you had dinner at my house last time.”

The server brought the mango juice over, and Gu Miao inserted the straw into one and handed it to her.

“Mm,” he said softly. 

The sweet taste of mango juice quietly seeped into Gu Miao's heart, and he lowered his head, his dark eyes shining.

She remembered it all, and knew that she liked mangoes.

All those mixed feelings of unwillingness, resentment, and anger melted away like ice under the sun in an instant.

His eyes drooped, inexplicably sour.

The girl opposite didn't notice, and continued, “Why did you suddenly come today?”

Gu Miao's hand trembled on the side of the table, his lips moved, but he still didn't speak.

The girl didn't mind his silence, happily drinking her mango juice.

“Do you miss me?” 

The shop was not crowded at night, and the girl's voice was clear and bright, but it felt like an electric shock to Gu Miao's heart.

He tightly pursed his lips, afraid to look up at her.
The girl giggled as she looked at the blushing boy in front of her, feeling her own shyness dissipate. 

Someone was even more bashful than her. 

The waiter approached with a dish in hand.
“Sweet and sour pork.” 

No longer dwelling on the previous topic, Cheng Chu picked up a pair of chopsticks from the container beside him and handed them to the boy. 

“Try this sweet and sour pork.
It's even better than what my aunt makes at home.” 

The boy obediently took a piece and chewed on it for a while before muttering, “Mmm.” 

It was unclear whether he was responding to the dish or to her previous comment. 

Throughout the meal, Cheng Chu's smile never faded from her face. 

After finishing their meal and paying the bill, the two of them walked out the door. 

The steps outside had just been mopped, leaving a wet residue.
Cheng Chu walked ahead and, without noticing, slipped and fell with a loud “thud” on the stone steps. 

Gu Miao's voice was trembling with urgency, and his stutter, which he hadn't had in a long time, came out unconsciously. 

“Are you, are you okay?” He reached out to help Cheng Chu up. 

The nearby shop assistant rushed over at the sound, repeatedly asking, “Are you okay? I'm sorry.” 

Gu Miao pulled a chair over. 

“No, I don't want to sit.” Cheng Chu gritted her teeth. 

She had just sat on the stone steps, and now her butt was burning with pain.
It was better to stand than to sit. 

“Okay, okay.” Gu Miao supported her and whispered, “Then lean on my shoulder and stand for a bit.” 

“Okay.” Cheng Chu put her hands on his sturdy shoulders and groaned in pain with her head down. 

Gu Miao stood stiffly, his throat dry. 

After a long time, he said, “Do you want to go to the hospital?” 

The nearby shop assistant was scared white.
“If something really happens, I'll have to pay a month's salary!” 

The girl gritted her teeth and said, “It's okay, it's okay.
I feel better now.
I have medicine at home.
I'll apply it when I get back.”

Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Can you still walk?”

Cheng Chu moved her foot and couldn't help but let out a hiss of pain.
“I twisted my foot.
I can't walk.”

“Then I'll carry you.” Gu Miao squatted down.

The lights in the store were bright.
The boy was wearing a clean white school uniform, with a broad and solid back.

Cheng Chu slowly climbed onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

The girl's warm breath floated by his ear, tickling him and sending electric currents into his heart.

His heart couldn't help but beat faster, and his breathing became more urgent.
The lights outside spilled onto the street, leaving a warm, yellow glow. 

The girl was light, as if a soft cotton candy was stuck to her back and had also crashed into his heart. 

Gu Miao felt his legs were stiff, his hands were weak, and even his spirit dissipated with her warm breath. 

“Gu Miao, turn right here,” Cheng Chu suddenly leaned in and whispered in his ear. 

He suddenly snapped out of his daze and turned around stiffly. 

“Yes, sorry, I didn't hear you.” 

The girl's delicate laughter rippled into his ear. 

“It's okay, we'll be there soon.” 

Cheng Chu rented an apartment near the entrance of the music annex, and Gu Miao carried her on his back into the elevator. 

The elevator was fast, and she lived on the fourth floor. 

Gu Miao took the key she handed him and opened the door. 

The dim light in the dark room reflected the corridor, and a hurried sound of footsteps approached from far to near.
Meow Meow looked up with its small head and only saw a faint figure.

That wasn't its owner!

“Woof woof woof.” It ran over, pulling at its throat, its fierce barking breaking through the sky, and it snarled viciously at the approaching figure.

Gu Miao hadn't had time to react when his pants were firmly bitten.

He was so scared that he almost threw Cheng Chu off its back.

Where did this vicious dog come from!!

The author has something to say: 

Gu Miao: This dog named Meow Meow is really not a good thing!
