Chapter 68 (2/2)

'Let's begin your first lesson,' Tan Tan said.

'Big sister Tan, I'm a slow learner,' Yuan Gun Gun said. 'Don't be angry if I don't understand some lessons.'

Tan Tan rubbed Yuan Gun Gun's head.

'Don't worry,' Tan Tan said. 'I'll teach you slowly, and you'll eventually understand all the lessons I planned for you.'

Yuan Gun Gun thought Tan Tan was a better teacher than she pictured Hao Yan Che would find for her.

At five in the afternoon, Tan Tan packed the textbooks.

'Gun Gun, we'll end your first lesson here,' Tan Tan said.

'Thank you big sister Tan,' Yuan Gun Gun said.

'Gun Gun, what's wrong?' Tan Tan asked. 'Do you feel sick?'

Yuan Gun Gun's stomach rumbled, and she smiled awkwardly.

'No,' Yuan Gun Gun said. 'I'm hungry.'

Tan Tan smiled, took out a wrapped chocolate and gave it to Yuan Gun Gun.

'For you,' Tan Tan said.

'Thank you big sister Tan,' Yuan Gun Gun said.

Yuan Gun Gun unwrapped the chocolate and ate it.

'I'll see you tomorrow,' Tan Tan said.

Yuan Gun Gun walked Tan Tan to the car, and went to see Hao Yan Che in the study room.

'Young master, are you still angry?' Yuan Gun Gun asked.

Hao Yan Che ignored Yuan Gun Gun.

'Young master if you stay angry then I'll starve to death,' Yuan Gun Gun said.

Yuan Gun Gun's stomach rumbled and proved she was telling the truth.

'Come here,' Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun walked to Hao Yan Che, and sat on his lap. He rubbed her sunken stomach and frowned.

'Why didn't you eat if you're hungry?' Hao Yan Che asked.

'You said I'm not allowed to eat,' Yuan Gun Gun said.

'When did I say you're not allowed to eat?' Hao Yan Che asked and pinched Yuan Gun Gun's left ear.

'This morning you said I'm not allowed to eat,' Yuan Gun Gun said.
