I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

……

At five o'clock in the morning, when Gu Yuning opened her eyes, it was still dark. The room was unusually quiet, with only the screen of her phone on the bedside table lighting up briefly.

The room is filled with cute decorations. The serious, decisive, and admired student council president of Yinshan Academy actually has his bed piled with all kinds of cute dolls.

"..." The girl looked at the ceiling.

I have insomnia.

There were still a full twenty-eight minutes until the alarm Gu Yuning set last night, but even so, she still woke up from time to time.

Gu Yuning stared at the time for a while, then looked at the message Lin Zhou had sent last night in her message list.

See you tomorrow.

She even wondered if replying with just an "um" seemed too cold.

It was Lin Zhou who took the initiative to ask her out to relax. Although it couldn't be strictly called a date, it was just that Lin Zhou was concerned about her because she hadn't been feeling well lately.

"Sigh... why isn't it dawn yet?" Gu Yuning put her phone back and closed her eyes again.

Go back to sleep—

A mature and strong woman should not lose sleep over such things, nor should she wake up at five in the morning hoping for dawn.

"Waaaaah." Gu Yuning hugged the doll, her slender and petite body rolling around in the blanket.

"Ah." In the end, she accidentally rolled under the bed.

Ten seconds later, Gu Yuning climbed back into bed, lifted the covers, and sat up!

Forget it.

Anyway, I'm already awake.

She put on her slippers and walked to the wardrobe—

Why don't you decide what to wear today?

The clothes inside are mostly of a stable, clean, and mature style, giving people a sense of "mature woman" at first glance.

Gu Yuning thought this was good; she wanted to be someone others could rely on.

After choosing her clothes, Gu Yuning turned to take a shower, and the sound of water soon filled the bathroom.

……

After drying her hair, Gu Yuning stood in front of the mirror and carefully adjusted her collar.

A white shirt clung to her fair neck, and a long, fitted skirt accentuated her waistline. A beige coat completed the look, making her appear less like a student and more like a gentle, mature woman.

well.

Gu Yuning nodded at herself in the mirror, so as not to appear too casual, nor to appear overly expectant.

When Gu Yuning came out of the room, it was only 5:47.

It's a little too early now. If we go out at this time, Lin Zhou probably won't be up yet.

No, Lin Zhou definitely hasn't gotten up yet.

Gu Yuning imagined Lin Zhou sleeping soundly and suddenly found Lin Zhou, who loved to sleep in, quite adorable.

What should I make for him for breakfast? I think Auntie knows how to make breakfast, right? Would it be a bit presumptuous for me to go there by myself...? I guess I really need to communicate with her beforehand.

"..."

Just then, a faint sound came from the side.

Gu Yuning paused in her steps.

At that moment, only a small light was on in the living room on the first floor. Just then, Gu's mother came out of the kitchen wearing a coat and holding a water glass in her hand.

The two looked at each other.

"..."

"..."

Gu's mother glanced at Gu Yuning, then looked up at the clock on the wall.

She was silent for a moment, then asked, "Honey, why are you up so early? And...aren't these clothes you're wearing mine?"

Gu Yuning said calmly, "Mom, I have something to do..."

"Has something happened at the school?"

"no."

"So you got up at 5 a.m. to shower and blow-dry your hair, and dressed like you were going to meet with the school board, were you preparing to run for the next principal?"

Gu Yuning: "..."

As expected of a mother.

"Look, he falls silent again when faced with a difficult question."

Gu Yuning lowered her eyes, her ears turning red. "Mom, I just need to go out today."

"He Linzhou?"

Gu Yuning didn't speak, but coughed lightly and said, "Mm."

Gu's mother was still a little sleepy, but after seeing her daughter's reaction, she seemed to wake up all at once.

yoooooooo~

She put down her water glass and looked Gu Yuning up and down. "No wonder you were dressed so formally and wearing perfume? Did you really go out with Lin Zhou?"

"I just went out to clear my head." Gu Yuning's voice wasn't as cold as usual, and her puffed-out cheeks and clenched fists made her look even cuter.

"Oh, a date."

"It's not a date."

"If a boy asks a girl out alone to clear her head, and the girl gets up at five in the morning to shower and change, what is that if not a date?" said Gu's mother.

"I was young once too~"

"You have no idea, your dad and I grew up together. Back then, we used to play the game of 'whoever confesses first is a dog,' flirting with each other, hehe..."

"Of course, in the end, it was your dad who couldn't hold on any longer."

Looking at her daughter's serious and pretty face, she suddenly felt like laughing.

Gu's mother was well aware of Gu Yuning's feelings for Lin Zhou. When Yuning was little, she didn't like going to kindergarten, and her teacher said that she could cry for hours on end. At that time, Gu's mother was so busy with work that she even considered giving up her career.

However, at that time, I heard that a little boy appeared and changed the situation.

"Are you going to wear this?" Mrs. Gu asked.

"Um."

Are you sure?

"Is there a problem?"

Gu Yuning looked down at her clothes.

Neat, proper, and mature.

There is no problem.

Gu's mother put her hand to her forehead. "This is a big problem! Honey, you're going on a date, not to work or a meeting, okay? How old are you?"

"I told you, it's not a date," Gu Yuning said.

"Okay, okay, it's not a date."

Gu's mother nodded, then added, "But this way of dressing isn't cute at all. You're only 1.5 meters tall, and you're older than you to be wearing cute dresses."

Gu Yuning frowned slightly. "Isn't it better to be more mature? Mom, I'm already an adult."

"Everyone in this world is an adult. You become an adult after the umbilical cord is cut."

"But the problem is, how old are you? Why do you have to dress like a 27 or 28-year-old working woman?"

"I think this is a good idea," Gu Yuning said.

"What's the use of you thinking it's good? Lin Zhou has to think it's good."

Gu Yuning's expression finally paused for a moment, "I... I didn't wear this specifically for him."

Seeing that it was effective, Gu's mother covered her mouth and laughed, "Young boys mostly like cute girls. You always have such a serious face and dress so maturely. Be careful that people will think you are too distant."

"Lin Zhou won't," Gu Yuning said confidently. "We grew up together, I know him."

"Be careful not to be snatched away by other cuter girls, girls you've known since childhood." Gu Mule said.

Gu Yuning: "..."

That statement is quite damaging.

"I...I...I'll change into something else; this one isn't suitable for moving around."

"And you still say you didn't do it for Lin Zhou."

"mom!"
