Chapter 15

These words completely shattered the confidence and vanity that Ji Yao had always built up. She stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds, then sprinted back to her seat, buried her head in her arms, and cried.

Gu Xiao’s eyes darted between the two of them. She could smell gossip!

Ji Yao had unrequited love for him! She even vented her anger on her!

How could Gu Xiao let go of such a good opportunity to cause trouble?! She immediately took the notebook and carefully walked to Ji Yao’s side. She first patted Ji Yao’s shoulder and said gently, “Ji Yao, if you want to see it, I can…”

“Get lost!”

Ji Yao shouted loudly. She did not look like the diligent and studious Ji Yao in the eyes of the teachers and classmates. Instead, she looked like a shrew.

She stood up and suddenly pushed Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao thought that she would be agitated, so she did not dodge. Although the show could be edited, her classmates had sharp eyes! Hence, Gu Xiao acted as if she could not react in time. She was pushed to the ground by Ji Yao and her waist hit the corner of the table.

It really hurt. Gu Xiao held her waist and thought, but it was worth it.

Ji Yao seemed to know that she had done something wrong, but she still did not apologize. She just sat down and did not look at Gu Xiao anymore.

Tears welled up in Gu Xiao’s eyes, but she quietly got up from the ground and wiped the tears from her eyes. “I’m sorry… I just want to help you. I want to be good friends with you.”

The students were in an uproar.

Everyone’s heart ached when they saw her quietly crying! Although everyone had just gotten to know Gu Xiao, many people had learned about her in advance through the show. Such a cute little girl had been treated so badly by Ji Yao.

Ji Yao shouldn’t have done that!

Chu An pursed his lips and didn’t speak.

Before Gu Xiao could finish her act, he pulled Gu Xiao’s sleeve and dragged her outside.

“Wait, what?” Gu Xiao panicked.

“To the infirmary.” The voice was unbelievably cold.

“Student, I want to examine the body of this female student. You can’t stay here.” The infirmary teacher chased Chu An out of the door and closed it.

Seeing that the child was just short of writing the word ‘worried’ on his face, the infirmary teacher sighed silently in his heart. This was youth.

“Student, where are you hurt?”

Gu Xiao originally didn’t plan to come to the infirmary. It was just bumping into the corner of the table. At most, it would be bruised. It would be fine in a few days. Who knew that Chu An would directly drag her over?

“There’s a big bruise. Did you hit something?”

Gu Xiao remained silent and nodded.

“I’ll put some medicine on you. You’ll be fine in a few days.”

“Okay,” Gu Xiao replied simply. When she pushed open the door and walked out of the infirmary, she saw that Chu An was still waiting.

“Why didn’t you go back to class?” Gu Xiao asked as she tidied her clothes, as if this would make her look less nervous.

“Weren’t you injured because of me?” Chu An asked.

“Huh?”

“Wasn’t it because you saw me that you let your imagination run wild for a whole lesson and did not pay attention to the class? Later on, in order to ease the conflict between me and Ji Yao, wasn’t that why you were injured?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t have any ideas about me. I already have someone I like.” After saying that, Chu An quickly walked away. From the back, it looked like he was running away.

What was going on?! Wasn’t this giving himself away by consciously protesting his innocence?

Chu An had been like this since her previous life. Whenever he hid something from her or lied to her, he would immediately leave after speaking. Later on, Gu Xiao found out that it was because his face was especially red when he lied.

Looking at Chu An’s flustered back, Gu Xiao was sure that the Chu An in front of him was the Chu An from hwe previous life! Furthermore, he should also have memories of his last life as well.

But why didn’t he acknowledge her? Why did he have to make up such a clumsy excuse to cover up that he wanted to help her?

Sigh, it was hard to guess what boys were thinking. However, Gu Xiao did not want to expose him. After all, there was a reason for everything he did. There must be a reason why he was hiding it from her.

With this thought in mind, Gu Xiao returned to the classroom. At this moment, the lesson was halfway through. Gu Xiao tried her best to lighten her footsteps so that she would not disturb the class.

When she walked to the front of the classroom, she saw that almost none of the students in Class 9 were whispering to each other in class. They did not even look at Gu Xiao when she suddenly entered. Some of the students were blocked by Gu Xiao’s figure, and they only leaned their heads slightly so they could continue looking at the blackboard.

Gu Xiao was suddenly moved by this scene. In her previous two lifetimes, she did not have the chance to study hard. Getting into a good university was also a dream that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
