Chapter 2526 - 2527: The Pitiful Professor Nangong

Gu Mian decided to ignore whatever this feeling was, so she nodded, "Mm, you should lie down for a bit."

Just as the words left her lips, Nangong Yue suddenly stood up, still a bit unsteady.

"What’s up?" Gu Mian couldn’t help but ask.

"Never mind, you don’t need to bother, I’ll wash up myself, I can do it." Nangong Yue was acting awkwardly like a child, seemingly wanting stubbornly to prove something, or perhaps just having a sulky tantrum.

"What’s up?" Gu Mian frowned, "Why don’t you want my help? You’re drunk."

"I don’t want to owe you anything." Nangong Yue dropped this line and then stumbled toward the bathroom.

Gu Mian was stunned, doesn’t want to owe her anything?

For some reason, that uncomfortable feeling inside grew even stronger, with an underlying hint of anger, feeling like Nangong Yue was acting crazy, nothing was right, so what exactly was the problem?

Gu Mian was angry, feeling frustrated in her heart, thinking how he got drunk late at night, and she came all the way to take care of him, yet he not only misbehaved in various ways but also gave her a hard time?

What did she do wrong?!

Moreover, Nangong Yue said he liked her for a long time, but she felt like it was just a joke?

If he liked her for a long time, why did he only say it now?

Could he hold back for this long?

This was a bit bizarre; she really couldn’t believe it; it was either a joke, drunken rambling, or just a man’s impulsive sweet talk trying to get what he wanted.

Gu Mian, annoyed, went to the bathroom, seeing Nangong Yue truly washing his face and brushing his teeth, probably due to the hangover, his movements weren’t very smooth, inexplicably looking a bit pathetic.

Gu Mian pursed her lips, was she having a maternal moment?

Why did she keep seeing him looking so pitiful today?

But the more pathetic he looked, the more she wanted to bully him, what was wrong with her?

That’s what she thought, and that’s what she did. Gu Mian crossed her arms and went in, standing behind Nangong Yue at the sink, irritably saying, "Move over, I need to wash too."

Nangong Yue’s hands paused, slowly turning his gaze to her as if asking, "Isn’t there another one over there?"

His bathroom was designed with dual sinks, meant for him and a future wife to wash up together without fighting over space.

But Gu Mian was choosing to fight for his sink?

Nangong Yue was somewhat confused.

Gu Mian frowned, her mouth slightly pouted as well, "I don’t care, I want to use this one; you use that one."

Nangong Yue froze for a moment, making his handsome face look even more pitiful.

"Oh, okay." He hesitated for a while before responding pitiably, then took his little cup and moved to the other side.

Gu Mian finally felt a bit happier inside.

She reached for toothpaste and toothbrush but still felt unsatisfied, so she handed them to Nangong Yue, staring at him, "Since you won’t let me help you wash up, then you serve me, squeeze the toothpaste."

Nangong Yue blinked, "Okay."

He confusedly took the toothpaste and toothbrush and squeezed some before handing them back to her.

Gu Mian said nothing and started brushing her teeth.

Nangong Yue also silently squeezed more toothpaste and started brushing.

While brushing, he kept sneakily glancing at Gu Mian in the mirror, while Gu Mian appeared very high-profile, leisurely brushing her teeth.
