Seeing that Yun Liuli still seemed stunned, Guan Nina continued explaining, "It's when you're doing that deed, the one that's at the bottom, being on the receiving end…"
Yun Liuli was speechless.
"Stop it! That's so disgusting!" Yun Liuli frowned. All the stories about boys' love that she had read about was where one was handsome, and the other one was elegant, with both of them looking especially good together. Why did things sound so disgusting after Guan Nina described it?
The two young ladies started discussing things as if there wasn't anyone else around. However, Zhou Yuchen's fists clenched increasingly tighter. A while later, his throat rolled. "If you find a girl to pretend to be your… would the guy you like believe it?"
Zhou Yuchen felt very bitter inside. That feeling… was as if the beautiful world that had just been established in his heart was gradually showing signs of breaking down.
"I have no idea either. I'll just try it!" Yun Liuli's smile was pale.
Yun Liuli and Guan Nina still had classes at 10 am, so they left together. Zhou Yuchen sat in bed by himself, his heart continuing to sink toward the darkness.
In the end, there was still no one who cared about him!
His mother had been afraid of rumors and slander, so she hid him behind her, not letting others know of his existence. Even after she left the world, other people didn't know that she had a son!
There was the nanny who had always taken care of him. However, she had also been afraid of other people's gazes and his family's reprimands, so she sent him, as a child, back to the cold and big house to live by himself.
And Yun Liuli…
There was also the girl who had saved him from despair and darkness, who had given him confidence and made him yearn for the sunlight. She didn't like him either!
That was right. Who would like him?
A good-for-nothing who had been bullied since young!
A… weirdo with different colored eyes!
So, he had been abandoned once again!
Regardless of whether it was his mother, his nanny, or Yun Liuli… all of them would eventually leave him alone in this dark world.
Zhou Yuchen… was destined to be alone.
…
From that day onward, Yun Liuli and Guan Nina would stick very close to each other, even holding hands when they went to the bathroom.
The people who were keeping an eye on Yun Liuli reported this to Gu Qingcheng, and Gu Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief.
It was very normal for girls to hold hands. Gu Qingcheng wouldn't think too much into it. He would only feel that what Yun Liuli had said the other day was out of spite. Therefore, his tensed up nerves showed signs of loosening up a little.
However, when Guan Nina heard from Yun Liuli that there hadn't been any progress between her and the guy she liked, she frowned.
Guan Nina bit onto her straw, sucking in a large mouthful of pearls and chewing on them. She turned and looked at Yun Liuli. "Is it that our acting doesn't look real?"
What they had done were things that close friends would do together—holding hands, going to the bathroom together, having meals together… going to and leaving class together. But these were things that all girls who were close to each other would do!
Yun Liuli shook her head. She had no idea either.
"Did the person you like say anything? Or… ask about our relationship?" Guan Nina asked relentlessly.
Yun Liuli continued to shake her head.
Things had been the same with Gu Qingcheng when Yun Liuli returned home the past few days. He hadn't mentioned anything, and he even sounded very relieved with what she had been doing.
Yun Liuli naturally wouldn't think that Gu Qingcheng felt relieved after finding out that she was in a relationship with a girl. Probably… to other people, it was just that she had a very close relationship with Guan Nina!
"He hasn't shown any reaction. Maybe he really doesn't care…" Yun Liuli poked at the pearls at the bottom of her cup with her straw.
Guan Nina bumped Yun Liuli with her elbow, asking seriously, "Liuli, be honest… who's the guy that you like? He must be from our school, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't get me to pretend to be dating you at school. Tell me which b*stard it is. He's liked by a fairy like you… yet he's still so hesitant!"
Yun Liuli didn't say anything. Her mind was a complete mess.
The door to the milk tea shop was pushed open, and the bells rang. Guan Nina habitually looked over and saw a pair of girls holding hands and coming in. She frowned. She saw the two of them standing at the counter, and after the more androgynously dressed lady ordered a matcha latte, she wrapped her arm around the shorter, adorable girl and asked her what she wanted.
The girl's ears turned red, and she said that she wanted to drink the same thing as the girl with the androgynous style.
Therefore, the androgynously dressed girl felt very pleased, planting a kiss on the girl's cheek, causing the girl's face to flush.
Guan Nina turned her head, suddenly struck by understanding…
That was right! That was how a relationship should be!
What she had been doing with Yun Liuli was like what high school girls who were on especially good terms would do with each other!
Guan Nina looked toward Yun Liuli and said, "Liuli, I know what the problem is now!"
Yun Liuli turned and looked at Guan Nina, waiting for her to continue.
"Liuli, I've decided to sacrifice myself so that you can be with the guy you like. It's just that I feel that I have to make things clear to you. Otherwise, I won't be able to face up to our friendship. I've made up my mind to help you… I've even decided to throw away my face to help you. It's because I feel that Zhou Yuchen likes you, but I like Zhou Yuchen. So, as long as you can get together with the guy you like, I'll be able to get together with Zhou Yuchen! Will you hate me… for saying this?"
Guan Nina was someone who wasn't good at scheming. She would say whatever came to her mind.
She could tell that Yun Liuli didn't like Zhou Yuchen, but Guan Nina wasn't sure about how Zhou Yuchen felt toward Yun Liuli. Therefore, she said this.
"Why would I hate you?" Yun Liuli was amused by Guan Nina's words. "Both you and Zhou Yuchen are my friends. I'll be very happy to see the two of you together! Moreover… if you can help me get with Gu… with him, I won't be able to thank you enough!"
Guan Nina nodded. "Alright! It's decided then!"
After saying that, Guan Nina plucked up the courage and held onto Yun Liuli's face.
"En?" Yun Liuli's big, clear, and beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
"Don't find me disgusting! I'm doing this because of you!" Guan Nina looked at Yun Liuli's beautiful and exquisite face that was like that of a doll's, feeling very emotional about how God had been biased toward Yun Liuli. She then planted a fierce kiss on Yun Liuli's lips. Her face flushed, and she looked at the Yun Liuli, whose eyes and mouth were wide open, and her ears turned red as well.
Guan Nina's body trembled a lot. "You're a famous person in school. With me kissing you like this, the entire school will soon find out that we're a couple! Liuli… you must remember to help me explain things to Zhou Yuchen, that I'm really not a lesbian!"
