Gu Shengyin didn’t give the expensive cup of coffee on the table a single glance.
"First, since you know I’ve broken up with him, then his matters have absolutely nothing to do with me, Chang Xuan, anymore."
"Second, although I broke up with Huang Anyuan, it doesn’t mean everything from the past is erased. This is for you, Qing Luochen." Gu Shengyin glanced at her and continued, "A third party who cuts in on someone else’s relationship, I truly dislike and loathe from the bottom of my heart."
"Third, you not winning Huang Anyuan’s heart has nothing to do with me. It’s your own failure, so please don’t pin the blame on me; I’m not carrying that burden."
"Fourth, whoever you like, however much you like them, these things have nothing to do with me!"
After finishing her words, Gu Shengyin stood up, ready to leave, and took another look at Qing Luochen.
"Right, I hope you won’t seek me out again. It is best if you don’t appear before me. Because next time, I won’t guarantee I can keep such a good temper and waste words with you instead of directly pouring this cup from the table over your head."
Gu Shengyin walked away without looking back, leaving only Qing Luochen sitting there, stunned.
Her face turned red and then white. In fact, she knew very well that her behavior today was simply outrageous.
Yet, she had been fantasizing that Chang Xuan, known for being particularly sweet and tender-hearted, might pity her if she acted miserable in front of her. What if Chang Xuan softened?
She knew her reputation wasn’t good now, and if Chang Xuan were willing to speak up nicely for her, her days at school would be much easier.
However, she never expected that Chang Xuan wasn’t the pushover as rumored; on the contrary, she was very quick-witted.
Being mocked like that by her, she couldn’t come up with any words to retort.
As Qing Luochen thought about the things Gu Shengyin had said to her, the more she thought, the angrier she became. In a fit of pique, she even wished Chang Xuan would forever disappear from Third High School.
If she weren’t in Third High School anymore, her issues with Huang Anyuan would eventually be forgotten by others, right?
Gu Shengyin walked slowly on the road, all alone with her backpack. After a while, she suddenly turned around.
"Top Student Lu, you’ve been following me so long; are you planning to treat me to dinner?"
Seeing him smiling at her, without the sharpness she had shown in the coffee shop, Lu Yu’s expression softened: "Sure."
He saw her eyes widen in surprise, seemingly not expecting him to agree, and his smile deepened: "What do you want to eat?"
Gu Shengyin’s eyes curved into smiles, revealing shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth: "Top Student Lu treating someone to dinner, how many can boast of such an honor? You’re inviting, so you make the decisions."
Lu Yu thought for a moment, then led Gu Shengyin to a certain place.
A noodle shop hidden deep in an alleyway.
Gu Shengyin said playfully, nodding her head: "As the saying goes, ’A hidden alley holds fine wine’s scent.’ I wonder if the noodles in this deep alley have a similar charm."
Lu Yu laughed at her comment: "Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed."
The shop was popular with customers, and the whole environment was very clean and tidy.
The beef noodles they ordered arrived quickly.
"It smells so good!" Gu Shengyin couldn’t help but sniff, then took a sip of the soup with a spoon on the side.
"It’s really tasty." She closed her eyes in satisfaction, looking just like a cat that got its beloved dried fish.
