Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Young Master Wants a Return Gift
Gu Shiting was very interested in this.
He didn’t know what was trending and asked, "Why is that?"
It was rare to see Young Master Gu willing to speak, so the other boys gathered around.
Gu Shiting didn’t feel uncomfortable at all and continued chatting with them.
Through them, he learned that it was currently trendy for girls to weave bracelets for the boys they liked, meaning "to hold onto them for life." It was a very romantic gesture.
High schoolers didn’t really understand what "for life" meant, but they all liked the romance.
Gu Shiting felt a bit envious.
One boy laughed and said, "If you want one, there are countless girls in our school who would make one for you."
Gu Shiting shook his head, "I’m just curious, I don’t really want one."
One of the boys quietly sent a message to Yang Mingming.
He was Yang Mingming’s informant, keeping an eye on Gu Shiting’s movements.
Upon hearing that Gu Shiting was very curious about the woven confession bracelets, Yang Mingming’s heart skipped a beat, and she decided to buy some threads later.
At that moment, Gu Shiting let Sheng Tang hold his hand, still thinking about the bracelet.
"Tangtang, can you make a bracelet for me?" Gu Shiting asked.
Sheng Tang didn’t understand, "What kind of bracelet?"
"Like this," he said, showing her a picture he found online on his phone.
Sheng Tang took a look.
It was very ordinary.
Why would anyone want to wear this?
Like Gu Shiting, she didn’t care much for idol dramas or her classmates’ love affairs, so she didn’t know the meaning behind the bracelet.
Seeing she was still confused, Gu Shiting quickly said, "Can you make one for me?"
Sheng Tang said, "I don’t know if I can..."
"There are tutorials online."
Seeing that he rarely asked for anything and it was just such a simple, non-costly thing, Sheng Tang readily agreed, "Sure, let’s meet here tomorrow afternoon, and I’ll have it for you then."
Gu Shiting was overjoyed.
He knew Sheng Tang’s temperament; if she agreed, she would definitely follow through.
He escorted Sheng Tang to her doorstep, and since it was still early, he went upstairs to say hello.
Her grandmother was very happy to see him and insisted on him staying for dinner.
"He’s afraid of the dark; it’ll be uncomfortable for him to go back too late. Let’s have him over another time," Sheng Tang said.
After Gu Shiting left, Sheng Tang looked up some tutorials online and went to a nearby supermarket to buy the threads before dinner.
She watched the tutorial videos while practicing.
She managed to weave one with much difficulty, but it was very ugly. Sheng Tang felt that she needed more practice.
She ended up weaving four bracelets that evening, each looking better than the last.
It was getting late.
"I’ll finish it during the morning reading period," she thought, stuffing the threads into her school bag.
The next day during the morning reading period, after the homeroom teacher finished their round and left, Sheng Tang quietly took out the threads.
She asked Jiang Baocu to help hold them.
Jiang Baocu stared at her in shock.
Sheng Tang noticed her expression, "What’s up?"
"Are you really going to confess to Senior Brother Gu?" Jiang Baocu whispered sneakily.
Sheng Tang frowned, "Why would I confess to him?"
"Then why are you making this?"
Sheng Tang looked puzzled.
"You don’t know?" Jiang Baocu saw her confusion, "Then who asked you to make it?"
"Him."
Jiang Baocu giggled.
"What’s going on?" Sheng Tang asked.
Jiang Baocu was in the know; she always knew what was trending in school and the background stories.
She chattered away, explaining to Sheng Tang.
After listening, Sheng Tang found it very amusing and couldn’t help but laugh.
She had never expected Gu Shiting to be so childish.
"He’s just like a little kid," Sheng Tang remarked.
Jiang Baocu said with a face full of lines, "Sis, you’re also a kid, why the old-soul tone? Isn’t Senior Brother Gu pursuing you?"
"No."
Jiang Baocu didn’t believe her.
The two of them whispered so quietly that others couldn’t hear, but their bracelet weaving was noticed by the two boys sitting at the desk behind them.
Qi Lin’s tablemate was extremely curious and whispered to Qi Lin, "Sheng Tang is weaving a bracelet; does she have a secret crush on someone too?"
Qi Lin’s heart pounded a few times, and although he thought it was unlikely, he still held out a sliver of hope.
He hoped that tomorrow, he might receive a bracelet.
