As expected, the old man was “discharged” the next day.
At dinner the next day, Xia Yangyang saw Gu Zhaohan again.
Even though Gu Zhaohan had agreed to replace Li Jiashu as Liang Shanbo in the play.
He hadn’t shown any sign of life, no contact, no rehearsals.
This was indeed a problem. The school festival performance was in half a month, and the school placed great importance on it.
Therefore, we must seize the time to rehearse.
After dinner, it was rare to see Gu Zhaohan not returning to his room, but bathing Oscar in the yard.
It was also rare to see Gu Zhaohan not wearing a stony look, talking to Oscar while bathing him, “Where have you been run off to today? You’re covered in mud. Luckily, I’m the one who washes you. If uncle had seen you, you would’ve been scolded.”
There was a hint of indulgence in Gu Zhaohan’s words, and he even wore a faint smile on his face.
Xia Yangyang also came over, squatted beside Oscar, petted his back, and said, “I never thought you’d look so cute when you smile.”
Gu Zhaohan got stunned for a while, then his face became stony again, “I hate people trying to get in good with me.”
Xia Yangyang pretended to be innocent, “I wasn’t talking about you. I was praising Oscar. Look at him. Doesn’t he look adorable when he smiles? He’s just like a smiling angel.”
Saying so, Xia Yangyang even teased Oscar’s face a bit.
Gu Zhaohan just snorted, and a faint blush appeared on his face. He lowered his head and snorted again.
He seemed a bit sulky.
Xia Yangyang thought that Gu Zhaohan didn’t seem as unapproachable as rumored.
It was quite fun to tease him.
Xia Yangyang sneaked a laugh, regained her serious face, “Gu Zhaohan, thanks.”
Gu Zhaohan gave Oscar a paw rinse with a cold voice, “No need to thank me.
I’m only doing it for my uncle.”
Xia Yangyang suddenly felt that perhaps Gu Zhaohan didn’t dislike her as much as she thought.
Xia Yangyang said, “No matter who you’re doing it for, you helped me and I appreciate you. Also, let’s start rehearsals tomorrow night at the East Hall.”
Gu Zhaohan didn’t respond.
Yangyang was still waiting for his answer.
Oscar had grown impatient from the washing, trying to break free several times.
Gu Zhaohan suddenly said, “Can you hold him down? He always gets fussy when I wash his hind paws.”
Yangyang quickly helped hold Oscar’s neck and pressed against him with her whole body.
It was quite a struggle to finish washing his hind paws, both of them gasping for breath.
Just as they stood up.
Oscar also suddenly stood up and vigorously shook his fur.
Caught off guard, Yangyang was all wet.
Xia Yangyang was about to scream, “Oscar, did you do that on purpose?”
Seeing Xia Yangyang all flustered, Gu Zhaohan surprisingly started to laugh.
His laughter was charmingly captivating.
Xia Yangyang said, “You see, you should learn from Oscar. You should smile more. You look so good when you smile.”
The way Gu Zhaohan smiled was truly attractive, the words that came to Xia Yangyang’s mind were ‘beauty that overthrows cities, and the shame of flowers.’
It was pure and clean, like a beam of morning sunshine on a snow peak.
This time Xia Yangyang genuinely complimented him. Unexpectedly, his face darkened immediately.
Okay, he was indeed a moody boy.
Gu Zhaohan said, “You should go inside. Your clothes are all wet.”
Gu Zhaohan had already averted his gaze.
Yangyang looked at her wet clothes, and nodded, “Then I’ll go in first..”
