LTPC Chapter 24: Pinching the Face

Yi Ran waited for a while in the lobby and then saw Gu Tingchuan walking towards her.

“Let’s go." 

They got into the car parked at the door of the building and sat side by side. His eyes fell on her slightly smiling face, and he said, "I just met my elder brother in the office and he mentioned your school winter games." 

Yi Ran hazard a guess. “He wanted you go in his stead?”

“En. He also said some nonsense. It was really a waste of my time. " 

She noticed Gu Tingchuan’s poor tone and the disgusted expression on his face. She responded very cooperatively, "It seems that you met him not only with ‘spicy eyes’ but also with ‘spicy ears.’

Gu Tingchuan never heard such a statement before. He paused for a moment, and then his lips slowly raised in a layer of laughter. 

Yi Ran didn’t notice his movements at first, but after a while, the man started chuckling to himself. She couldn’t help wondering, “What the heck are you laughing at?”

They sat next to each other so it was easy for him to stretch out his hand to touch her face, his fingers resting lightly against her skin. Then, half of her face was suddenly in his palm. Gu Tingchuan didn’t use much strength, but she was completely motionless and could only respond with doubtful eyes. In contrast, the man’s eyes were deep and filled with an amusement that only he knew. His said in a deep voice, “You are really interesting.”

Yi Ran was speechless...She had not expected this pinching the face to kill method?!

She vaguely murmured “oh.” Her mood was a little complicated, and a surge of heat washed over her face. She could only lower her face a little and try to calm down her agitation. 

Obviously, a kiss should be used to express the atmosphere at this time, but Director Gu seemed to have no intention of this. 

She cleared her throat and said, "I will pretend not to know you that day. You remember." 

Gu Tingchuan realized she was referring to the day of the games. He tilted his head and asked her, "Why."

"I'm afraid that after everyone knows, they will feel that I’m partial to Gu Tai." 

Gu Tingchuan had some unwilling emotions but could not come up with any better proposals. The car was quiet for a long time, leaving only outside street noises. She finally heard a dull response against this backdrop of noises. 

Yi Ran noticed his discomfort, but didn't understand where his rebellious emotions came from. After thinking about it, it might be that the elder brother Gu Tingyong, whom she had never met, had upset him. Thinking this, she sat obediently and no longer argued with him. 

Director Gu's mood was always not beautiful.

Habin International School especially hired a team from outside to coordinate and organize the annual regular Winter Parent-Child Games. 

Yi Ran and Yao Juan also needed to help with some preparations, including confirming whether the children's parents will be available at that time.
