"It’s just the class monitor he..."
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and staff wearing black shirts came in carrying fruit platters and drinks.
Cheng Xia took the opportunity to change the topic, feeling a wave of disappointment inside.
"Gu, do you drink? This beer has a low alcohol content, and the Lychee Wine is also quite good, suitable for girls like you," Cheng Xia asked Gu Yao while picking up a bottle of beer.
"Then have some fruit, these snacks are also quite good."
"Hey, Gu Yao, who is the person who picks you up from school every day? Some students say he’s your brother, others say he’s your boyfriend," a boy asked curiously.
"That’s Gu Yao’s brother, her real brother," Cheng Xia explained for Gu Yao.
"So he really is your brother, that explains it. Your brother really cares for you. Seems like our class monitor, Cheng, will have to get past your brother first if he wants to pursue you."
Seeing the boys surrounding Gu Yao, the girls felt particularly uncomfortable, and Gu Yao’s aloof demeanor made them even more uneasy.
"Hey Gu Yao, you’ve been here two weeks since you transferred, you don’t talk much usually, so we don’t know much about you. Why not take this chance to tell us about yourself? I can see that you’re well-dressed and have a nice aura, I bet your family is into big business, running a company, right? The teacher did say you’re from the Capital City, which is a major city," a girl started trouble.
"Yeah Gu, tell us, which part of the Capital City are you from? I have a relative there. It’s a nice place, maybe when the holidays come, I can visit you," a boy chimed in. Thıs content belongs to novel•fire.net
"There’s nothing special about my family, just a pharmacy," Gu Yao said blandly.
"So it’s a pharmacy~"
Several girls made sarcastic remarks, their tones full of disdain and ridicule, their expressions more vividly colorful than one another.
"A pharmacy? That’s pretty good. Pharmacies can be quite profitable nowadays, practically a gold mine. Being able to open a pharmacy in the Capital City certainly shows some family background; it’s definitely better than being an office worker," a boy said.
"Tch, the Capital City is so big, do you think it’s all like what’s on TV? There are plenty of slums there," a girl replied.
This girl was none other than Sasa, who had been embarrassed by Gu Sheng earlier.
"Exactly, many pharmacies are more deceitful than large hospitals, especially those tiny ones without even a sign, who knows if they’re selling fake medicine. They’re ridiculously expensive, but many young couples love those pharmacies for their convenience," a girl said, covering her mouth, with a hint of implication.
The girls quickly caught on and covered their mouths to giggle.
Listening to the girls’ mocking comments, the boys didn’t look pleased; after all, Gu Yao was attractive, easily stirring up a sense of protection.
And Cheng Xia couldn’t stand it even more.
"Enough, every profession deserves respect, as long as there’s no stealing or robbing. We’re classmates, mind your words."
"Class monitor, you’re too worked up, we meant no harm. It’s just that I’ve been conned by those small pharmacies before, so..."
"So you’re one of those couples, huh? Next time, don’t go there just for convenience. After all, without a proper sign, it’s easy to run into trouble."
As the girl was speaking, Gu Yao, who had been silent, spoke up with a cheerful smile.
