Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 9) Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Fiery Spoiled Girl VS ‘Affectionate’ Best Friend (Part 9) Gu Shengyin could sense the change in her deskmate.
Zhang Susu’s attitude towards her was no longer as natural as before, sometimes hesitating while speaking. When Gu Shengyin was doing her homework, she could feel him stealthily watching her, or suddenly blushing while looking at her.
The allure of the body Su Keqing inhabited was undeniable, especially since she was exceedingly pampered by He Junyan, and the affluence of her life added an arrogant quality to her expressions, like a princess high up in an ivory tower.
Such a girl had a fatal attraction to boys in puberty.
Zhang Susu was a good boy, a conclusion Gu Shengyin had reached after being his deskmate for over two years.
Looking at his daily habits and attire, Gu Shengyin could tell that her deskmate came from a very wealthy family, yet he displayed none of the vices typically associated with affluent youths.
He never showed a hint of arrogance, whether towards Gu Shengyin or the other classmates. Even before he had slimmed down, Zhang Susu was surprisingly popular in class.
Now that he had become a handsome young man, it went without saying.
He had clearly developed feelings for Gu Shengyin.
Over these past two years, Gu Shengyin had truly considered him a friend, and because she cared, she didn’t want to see him fall deeper.
Her heart could only ever belong to that one person, so why give others false hope?
When Zhang Susu finally couldn’t restrain himself and confessed to her, Gu Shengyin firmly rejected him.
Zhang Susu was visibly hurt.
Gu Shengyin left no room for doubt in her response, “I’m sorry, I’ve always seen you as my best friend. I don’t have any siblings, and I’ve always treated you like a big brother.”
Her gaze was sincere. Zhang Susu stared at her for a long time before finally managing a smile.
He reached out, ruffled the hair of the girl in front of him, and said with a smile, “Ah, to think I, Zhang Susu, a handsome guy, would fail so miserably in love. My first confession, and I get rejected so coldly.”
“Oh well, if I can’t be your boyfriend, being your big brother is good too. Having a school beauty as a little sister makes me look good too, right?”
“But today, you need to comfort my wounded soul, treat me to a meal.”
Zhang Susu looked at her with ease.
Gu Shengyin broke into a smile, “Sure, what do you want to eat? Just name it!”
Zhang Susu also smiled, “I know you are quite the rich girl, I’ve got to take full advantage of that.”
The two of them walked ahead without much awkwardness, chatting as they went.
After they left, a figure in white emerged from the empty staircase corner.
Su Qing watched both of them leave, her lower lip already bitten pale.
He really did like her.
Su Qing felt her sense of injustice rising, almost too much to suppress.
Why did Su Keqing always effortlessly get what she could never achieve, even casting it aside casually?
She was more beautiful than her, had a better family, had better relationships… Su Qing had accepted all that.
But why, why did her first crush also like Su Keqing?
Su Keqing, Su Keqing, it was always Su Keqing!
If only Su Keqing had never existed.
