Chapter 44: Chapter 45: The best friend of that year…………………………….

Gu Qichen spoke indifferently: “You don’t need to worry about this.”

However, Ah K couldn’t resist gossiping: “You asked me to hack into someone’s post, are you getting a guilty conscience, Brother? You aren’t really keeping a college student, are you? Although it’s normal for a man to have his physical needs, Brother, you’re at the prime age of sexual desire. But wouldn’t Sister Bingbing be heartbroken if she knew?”

As Ah K spoke, Gu Qichen suddenly looked up, a chill emanating from his eyes. “You seem to have a lot of free time, perhaps I should arrange a position for you in the technical department?”

Ah K quickly panicked: “Absolutely not! I’m a free bird, I can’t stand the nine-to-five life. Brother, I’m leaving. Remember to call me when you need help. I guarantee I’ll be there in a jiffy.”

After speaking, Ah K quickly grabbed his computer and fled Gu Qichen’s office.

Gu Qichen stared at the student data that Ah K had just hacked from the post.

The name section of the data read “Gong Xue’er”.

Gu Qichen pondered for a half of a minute before sending the entire file to Xia Yangyang.

Xia Yangyang received the message while still sitting in the library daydreaming.

She stared at the message from Gu Qichen for a long time.

Her heart felt like it was being repeatedly ground by a blunt knife.

Conveniently, at that moment, Gong Xue’er sent her a text.

Gong Xue’er[Has Haotian come to see you?]

Xia Yangyang didn’t respond.

After a while, Gong Xue’er sent another message[I beg you, can you please stop pestering Haotian?]

Upon reading the message, Xia Yangyang felt her blood boiling in rage.

Quickly, Xia Yangyang sent back a message[Did you spread the campus rumor about me being kept?]

Gong Xue’er replied instantly: [No, even if we’ve been having disagreements lately, you are still my best friend in my heart]

Looking at the words, Xia Yangyang felt extremely nauseated.

Xia Yangyang immediately sent over the information that Gu Qichen had sent her.

There was no reply from Gong Xue’er for a long time.

After a few hours passed, late in the evening, Xia Yangyang suddenly received a message from Gong Xue’er.

[Meet me at the campus field of Qingping Junior High at 3 in the afternoon tomorrow. It’s time we settled matters between us.”

The next day was a weekend, Xia Yangyang had no classes, and she slept in late.

Xia Yangyang wasn’t initially planning to keep this appointment.

But considering the photos of her and Lu Haotian were still in Gong Xue’er’s possession, she had to reclaim them.

Furthermore, Xia Yangyang also wanted to know what Gong Xue’er meant by ‘settle matters’.

At three in the afternoon, Xia Yangyang arrived promptly at the field of Qingping Junior High.

Qingping Junior High was the alma mater of her and Gong Xue’er.

She had met Gong Xue’er in freshman year and they had shared a desk for three years.

The past memories made Xia Yangyang find it unbearable to think that she had genuinely cared for this poor, bullied girl who has now turned into this.

Gong Xue’er had already arrived.

Today, Gong Xue’er wore a long white sweater, looking purely beautiful.

She was far from the ugly duckling that was mocked during her time in Qingping, and she was not the Gong Xue’er that Xia Yangyang knew.

Upon seeing Xia Yangyang, Gong Xue’er went straight towards her.

Gong Xue’er said: “Yangyang, I didn’t expect you to be so punctual.”

Xia Yangyang replied: “Why did you ask me to meet up today?”

Gong Xue’er said: “Yangyang, don’t you want to tour the school? We haven’t been back here in a long time.”

After saying this, Gong Xue’er turned around.

Xia Yangyang hesitated for a moment then followed.

The two of them went to their old classroom, Class 1 of Year 1. The school was on holiday that day, but the classroom door was surprisingly unlocked.

Gong Xue’er sat down at one of the seats and traced the desk with her finger. “Yangyang, come here, look. After so many years, this desk is still the same, it even still has the markings you engraved.”

Xia Yangyang walked over. She could indeed see that this was their old desk. In the corner of the table were tiny letters reading ‘Xia Yangyang and Gong Xue’er are best friends forever.’

Xia Yangyang remembered that she had engraved it one summer afternoon using the point of a compass.

At the time, Gong Xue’er was being bullied. She laid her head down on the desk and cried, saying she didn’t have any friends and that no one liked her. Xia Yangyang then declared that she would be her friend, and that she would always like her.

So, Xia Yangyang had carved that sentence into the desk. Now, thinking back, she could only feel a heart-wrenching pain.

Gong Xue’er ran her fingers over the sentence, lost in her thoughts. “Yangyang, do you know? You were the first person who genuinely considered me a friend. Do you know how happy I was then? I truly believed that we could be best friends forever..”
