Chapter 16
No tacit understanding
"The second round of game ends!"
As everyone was paying attention to Gu Jingchen and Luo Mang's performance, time was slowly passing. As the teacher's voice sounded, the game finally ended.
Now there is no need to worry about whether the game is fair or not, and Luo Mang finally breathes a sigh of relief.
She and Gu Jingchen are really not familiar with each other, let alone a couple. The discussions around her really embarrassing her.
Gu Jingchen never spoke, like a machine to cooperate with the child's tasks, but the eyes that swept across the surroundings became extremely cold because of the discussion, which made the people around him immediately shut their mouths. For a moment, no one dared to continue talking.
The teacher observed his expression and quickly stood up, trying to get around this: "The third round of the competition is tacit understanding, which mainly tests the degree of tacit understanding between parents. The higher the tacit understanding, the higher the ranking, the lower the tacit understanding, and the lower the ranking."
No one had any objections. The third round of the competition officially began. Each group of families made a smooth progress, with high and low scores, and everyone was very happy to watch.
It was soon their turn to be in the group. Luo Mang and Gu Jingchen were arranged to sit opposite each other and looked at each other. The teacher next to him came over with a few cards.
"The competition in our group is very simple. Just tell whether the other party likes this thing."
A black cardboard blocked the two of them, making them unable to see each other's expression.
However, Luo Mang also had a premonition in his heart that this game would probably be cold.
At most, she and Gu Jingchen just knew each other and had never really gotten along. How could they know what they like?
Sure enough, the questions raised by the teacher are simply a piece of cake for real families, but for their group, they are simply a devastating world.
All the answers of Luo Mang were based on her simple understanding of Gu Jingchen, and the result was a mess.
"Are you sure?"
During the last question, Luo Mang still nodded, and the teacher's face became a little strange.
"Okay, the seventh group competition is over, and our children Gu Xiyan's parents have only a tacit understanding... 10%."
Standing up from the chair, the two of them looked as usual. The parents watching the fun could not stop the burning gossip fire and started talking again.
Gu Xiyan kept watching anxiously, wanting to remind Gu Jingchen and Luo Mang, but no one could receive her signal.
At this moment, Gu Jingchen's phone rang. He went to the side to answer the phone. Luo Mang walked to the girl and felt a little guilty, but she really didn't expect this would happen.
"Sorry."
Luo Mang bent down and gently stroked the girl's head to express his apology.
She has really tried her best.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyan was not only not angry, but instead comforted Luo Mang.
"It's okay, Mommy just hasn't started to develop feelings for her father yet, so it's going to be fine in the future."
Looking at Gu Xiyan's simple and cute little face, Luo Mang opened his mouth, feeling a little powerless.
How would she tell this child that it was impossible for her and Gu Jingchen to have anything in the future?
More and more people were talking about it, and the voices were getting louder and louder.
"Will this person be..."
"What?"
"Even if the relationship between couples is not good, they will not be so irresistible. They are simply unfeeling, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Faced with the doubts and unfounded guesses from the people around him, Luo Mang felt as if he had returned to the night many years ago.
All kinds of dirty water and bullying came to her face, unable to escape or struggle, like a big net, trapping her tightly inside and finally dragging her to hell.
Luo Mang's hands hanging by his thighs were quietly pinching them tightly, his fingertips were cold, his heart was numb, his legs could not move at all, his whole body seemed to have water, and it was so wet that she was so heavy that she was about to fall down directly.
"Mommy..." The little girl pulled Luo Mang's trouser legs uneasyly, looked at Luo Mang's appearance, and slightly turned the corners of her mouth, and her bright black eyes were half expectant and half panic.
"Today's parent-child activity ends here. Let's invite the children to come on stage to receive the award."
Except for Gu Xiyan's grades are too ugly, most children have received a prize.
The children on the stage were full of joy, but Gu Xiyan off the stage slowly lowered her head.
Seeing her like this, Luo Mang felt even more uncomfortable and coaxed her softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't perform well. I can give you any gifts you want..."
"You are my mother, you are my mother!"
The little girl suddenly cried and shouted, and Luo Mang's heart thrust hard.
She stumbled twice and was about to speak, but she couldn't say a word because of the little girl's tears.
Although Gu Xiyan is sensible, she is also a stubborn person. Even if she cannot clearly understand the meaning of the people around her, she still knows that they are questioning that Luo Mang and her are not a family.
"It's all my fault. You're obviously my mother. Why doesn't he play games with us?"
If Dad had stood up early in the morning, Mom would not have been told.
The child's words were so simple that a child immediately aroused speculation from the people around him, and the whole crowd seemed to be in a panic.
"Since that's what they mean, they are not husband and wife..."
Malicious speculation reappeared.
"Oh my God, she is not a mistress, so that man is unwilling to show up?"
"Such a cute child, but he is an illegitimate daughter, so pitiful..."
The seemingly bland words turned into sharp blades and stabbed into Luo Mang's heart.
Has her children been criticized like this?
"I'm sorry, go find dad, auntie has something to do, we're leaving first."
Luo Mang glanced at Gu Jingchen who had just hung up the phone and walked towards them. After confirming that he had seen Gu Xiyan, he left in panic.
Looking at her back as if she was running away, Gu Jingchen had not understood what was going on. The little girl had already run over quickly, took his hand and chased Luo Mang in the direction of Luo Mang.
"Dad, hurry up, mom is sad."
Luo Mang couldn't walk fast in high heels. As soon as he left the event venue, he was caught up by the father and daughter.
Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Luo Mang's body stiffened, and finally turned softly and watched the little girl shouting "Mommy" pitifully at her.
"I'm sorry to make you embarrassed just now."
Although I don't know what happened, it's not difficult to guess.
Luo Mang shook his head.
She had already taken Gu Jingchen's order and agreed to come again. What's there to be sorry for them?
Besides, my current emotions actually have nothing to do with them.
Luo Mang controls his emotions and prevents him from bringing them to irrelevant people.
