Novel Full 235 Woman I like un
Soon, a week passed without much drama.
An Xiulan was busy preparing for the first monthly test of the eleven grade.
Han Zixin was preparing for the singing contest that would take place this week.
Lu Xuan was still trying to find ways to go to the music department but the principal had an eye on him, thus failing to see Yang Mei. The only place he could see Yang Mei was his weekend music class.
Gu Shangyan had helped Yoona to get the library card and these days, he was spending more time in the library than at home.
Gu Shangyan and Yoona were sitting on the last table in the library and reading that spy book. It reached a point where she couldn’t stop her tears from trickling.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Gu Shangyan asked her. “Why do you look as if you are on the verge of crying?”
His question only made her cry harder..
“Who is making noise?” The librarian asked.
Gu Shangyan placed his palm on her mouth and picked their bags, while dragging her out of the library.
“Why are you crying?” Gu Shangyan asked her in concern.
“This book is not going to end well, ” Yoona cried as she wiped her face with her hand. “I can feel it.”
“Who said she can handle tragedies?” Gu Shangyan scoffed.
Yoona looked at him like a wounded puppy. “I can but I never said I’m not crying. I’m an emotional person. I get attached to characters too easily. I hate villains but when they die, I cry too.”
“Okay. Okay. What can I do to make you feel better?” Gu Shangyan asked, “I will do anything you say.”
“Hug me, ” Yoona said in a soft voice.
“Ah?” Gu Shangyan asked her with a shocked look on his face.
“When I’m sad my friends hug me to make me feel better. You can do the same, ” Yoona said as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“You hug your male friends too?” Gu Shangyan asked her once again.
“You don’t hug your male friends?” Yoona asked him in confusion.
“I don’t hug my friends, “Gu Shangyan replied straightforwardly. He didn’t realise but the tips of his ear were red.
“You are so weird, ” Yoona said and walked away from there. “If not anything, just buy me a strawberry milkshake.”
Gu Shangyan increased his pace to walk along with her. They entered a cafe to get their milkshakes. When they were having their milkshakes, his gaze fell on the boy sitting alone on the window seat. His head was placed on the table as if he was depressed.
“One minute, ” Gu Shangyan said to Yoona. He made a ball of tissue paper and tossed it at the depressed boy.
When Lu Xuan felt a tissue paper ball hitting his head, he looked up to see Gu Shangyan sitting there with a familiar girl. He sighed and collected his depressed body to go to his brother’s table and sat there quietly.
Yoona nudged Gu Shangyan asking him what was wrong with Lu Xuan but the poor boy himself didn’t know what was wrong with him.
“What’s up with you?” Gu Shangyan asked Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan pitifully looked at him and murmured, “I don’t know what to do. My life is screwed.”
“Will you at least tell me what’s wrong with you?” Gu Shangyan asked him.
“An Xiulan happened, ” Lu Xuan groaned. He said in a disgusting and bitter voice, “Everyone thinks Han Zixin is my boyfriend. I don’t want to think about it at all.”
Yoona looked at Lu Xuan and blinked her eyes. “But liking a boy is not bad.”
Gu Shangyan stifled a laugh and Lu Xuan glared at him.
“To hell with your open minded thinking, ” Lu Xuan grumbled. “Here my love life is at stake because my sister beat some boys who were talking shit about me. Now everyone thinks that the misunderstanding is true. I can’t even…”
“Then, why don’t you clear the misunderstanding?” Yoona asked him.
“Hell, if it was that easy, ” Lu Xuan said. He recalled that he went to clear this misunderstanding but ended up entangling the matter even more. What was he even supposed to do?
“She is misunderstanding me, ” Lu Xuan said in a very soft voice.
“Who?” Gu Shangyan couldn’t help but ask.
Lu Xuan sighed as he looked at both of them and murmured, “The woman I like.”
“Song Xueyun?” Gu Shangyan whispered. “She is not that shallow and she knows the truth. Don’t worry.”
Lu Xuan furrowed his brows. “Why would I worry about Xueyun?”
“Isn’t she the girl who you like?” Gu Shangyan said.
“Are you crazy?” Lu Xuan looked offended. “Why would I like Xueyun? I mean I like her but not in a romantic way. I can’t look at her with that eye. You know the one that says she is my love interest. She is like my best friend, my buddy and bro!”
To say Gu Shangyan was shocked would be an understatement. Actually, everyone in the family believed that Lu Xuan liked Song Xueyun. It was like an open secret. The family wouldn’t be surprised if one day Lu Xuan announced that she was his girlfriend.
“Lu Xuan, do you know what you are saying?” Gu Shangyan asked his brother calmly this time. “You always care for her. You know her more than anyone. These days, you have been taking extra care of her. Do not forget how you used to be jealous when Han Nanxian was around her. And that day, when she was tired, you lend her your shoulder to rest. How can you say that you don’t like her?”
“Bro, I’m not saying that I don’t like her. She is like my best friend, ” Lu Xuan said with a sigh.
