Chapter 403: Chapter 403 It’s Actually Pretty Good Too

Not long after she left, School A also had its final exams and started winter vacation.

When Luo Meng was putting up Spring Festival couplets on the 29th of New Year, she realized she had bought one pair less.

"How come I’m one pair short?"

The young girl couldn’t help but mutter to herself in frustration.

But it was already the 29th, and there were no more shops selling anything outside, but she couldn’t just not hang a couplet on one door, so Luo Mengmeng ran to Gu Zhihan’s house to see if he had any spare Spring Festival couplets.

"Gu Zhihan! Do you have any extra Spring Festival couplets?" Luo Mengmeng asked as she ran over to his house.

She didn’t find anyone in his bedroom.

As she wondered where he could be, Gu Zhihan’s voice came over, "I’m in the study."

"What are you doing in the study?" Luo Mengmeng asked curiously as she turned around and walked with small steps to find him.

Once she entered the study, she saw Gu Zhihan engrossed in writing Spring Festival couplets.

"You’re writing Spring Festival couplets yourself?" Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, walking up to him with her clear eyes fixed on the couplets he was writing.

She saw the calligraphy on the red paper, flowing like water, the strength penetrating the paper, captivating to the point where one couldn’t look away.

Luo Mengmeng completely forgot why she came in the first place, showering him with praises, "Gu Zhihan your calligraphy is way too good!"

Gu Zhihan, quite satisfied with her compliments, hooked up the corners of his lips in a pleased smile, then looked at her, "Didn’t you say you were missing a pair of couplets? Shall I write one for you?"

"Yes, yes, please!" Luo Mengmeng remembered her original purpose and nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.

Gu Zhihan pushed the inkstone towards her, "Then you help me grind the ink."

"Okay!" After Luo Meng took the inkstone, she ground it diligently, her eyes fixed on the brush in his hand, and asked with curiosity, "What couplets are you planning to write for me?"

Gu Zhihan dipped the tip of the brush in the ink and pondered for a moment before replying, "I need to think..."

"Actually, I’ve thought of a couplet." Seeing he hadn’t decided, Luo Mengmeng blurted out her idea excitedly, rubbing her hands together.

Surprised that she could come up with couplets, Gu Zhihan’s eyes showed a flicker of astonishment, but he listened attentively, "Let’s hear it then."

"Ahem! Listen closely!" Luo Meng cleared her throat and, putting down the inkstone, recited with an ancient scholar’s demeanor, "Upper couplet: Year after year, we never stop eating; Lower couplet: Year in year out, the eating never ceases; Horizontal scroll: Long live foodies!"

Gu Zhihan was instantly covered with black lines: "..."

As expected, he shouldn’t have hoped for her to come up with any couplet.

"Hey! What’s with that expression! Is it that my couplet doesn’t rhyme well enough?" Luo Mengmeng, seeing his silent reaction and his face full of disbelief, as if her couplet was trash, protested.

It rhymed perfectly well!

"It’s not about not rhyming well, but this content..." is just indescribable, who pastes such Spring Festival couplets during the New Year.

Gu Zhihan wanted to say this, but seeing the girl’s pouting face, he decided to change his words after a moment of silence, "...Actually, it’s quite good."

After all, the couplet wasn’t meant for his door, a few insincere compliments wouldn’t hurt.

Hearing this, Luo Mengmeng’s face brightened up like clearing skies, her eyes blinking she urged him, "Then hurry up and write it for me!"

"Alright..." Gu Zhihan suppressed the twitch at the corner of his mouth, dipped the brush in ink, and began to write the couplet she had come up with.
