Even after some time since Gu Jingyan left, Lu Beichen still felt unjust.He looked at Fu Chenxi. “How did you hang with her for so long in the past?”

Fu Chenxi said hesitantly, “Beichen, Jingyan is rather nice. She treats me very well and is very righteous. You probably just clash with her in character…”

“Haha, righteous? This is righteous? She’s just relying on her status as the fourth young mistress of the Gu family. That is why she does whatever she wants and doesn’t understand tolerance. She’s full of pride. She’s only the top student in school. So what? Is it worth being proud just because of good grades? Ha. In that case, this fourth young mistress of the Gu family must be really easy to satisfy.”

“I…”

“And did you look at the kind of attitude she had just now?”

“Beichen…”

“At the very most, we’ll get punished together. I’m not learning anymore. I’ll see what she can do to me.”

“You… You’re really not learning anymore? Beichen, don’t be so angry. Go and apologize to her… Or I can go on your behalf.”

“No.” Lu Beichen looked at her sternly.

Fu Chenxi fell silent and looked at him. She did not dare to defy his order.

She felt uneasy as she looked at him getting so upset and grumbling non-stop over another girl.

But from another perspective, perhaps it was because he really did not like Gu Jingyan.

She comforted herself, picked up the notebook, and continued writing.

The next day.

There was a commotion in the school again because another group of students transferred today.

Gu Jingyan was still seated in class and reading when she saw students outside exclaiming.

“Wow, so handsome! What’s going on in school these days? What’s with the influx of handsome guys?”

“And they don’t look ordinary. Their family backgrounds probably aren’t too bad either.”

Gu Jingyan did not pay much attention, as transfers occurred frequently especially for a famous school like theirs. It was normal for students to transfer here halfway through.

However, as she was working on a question, she heard someone call out. “Ah, Gu Jingyan.”

Gu Jingyan looked up.

She saw two handsome guys at the door. They hopped in with happy faces.

Everyone turned to look curiously at Gu Jingyan and the two guys.

Gu Jingyan was embarrassed at first, then she stood up and pointed at them in surprise. “You guys… Why are you here?”

These two guys were her childhood friends.

Xu Zekai and Fang Shengting.

They were nicknamed Boss Xu and Little Q.

They came in and immediately surrounded her. Little Q spoke first. “Well, we heard that Lu Beichen transferred here, so we decided to transfer too.”

“Yeah, you’re all here. It’s too boring by ourselves in that private school.”

“Exactly. There aren’t many pretty girls too. They don’t seem as easily influenced as the ones here. They’re all too bright.”

“…”

Naturally, there were plenty of girls in private schools with good family backgrounds. That school was simply a school for the super-rich. Many who attended that school all went with motives. They were extremely bright.

In contrast, this school was much more average. Students came from all backgrounds and were much more simple-minded.

“So you guys came to our school with this motive? You guys just transferred here? Wow. Don’t tell me you’re joining our class?”

“Sigh, I did want to, but they said that your class is the advanced class and it’s full. So we got transferred to the next class.”

Gu Jingyan rolled her eyes. “That’s good. Don’t come here and sabotage me.”

One scourge like Lu Beichen was already enough in this class. She would not be able to tolerate all these rich young masters.

“Ha, do you feel as if we interrupted your lovers’ world with Lu Beichen? Don’t worry, we won’t disturb you guys.” Little Q said casually.

Gu Jingyan almost choked. She glared at him and said, “Haha, don’t you know that Lu Beichen has a girlfriend? If you dare to spout nonsense, he might just come at you. Also, don’t mention him to me. I have nothing to do with him now.”

Gu Jingyan did not forget about their argument last night.

Lu Beichen was so self-conceited and hot-headed. There was no way she’d want anything to do with him.

Just then, the onlookers looked even more surprised.

These two handsome new students knew Gu Jingyan?

Gu Jingyan really knew plenty of handsome guys.

Everyone looked at Gu Jingyan with envy.

But just then, Lu Beichen arrived.

“Hey, Beichen.”

Their greeting left Lu Beichen a little surprised.

“Hey, what are you two fellas doing here?”

“We’re here as your schoolmates.”

“No way. Haha, you guys are really scourges.”

“Wow, you said the exact same thing as Gu Jingyan. You both despise us so much.”

The three of them laughed. At the side, Fu Chenxi looked on, not knowing what was going on. She only stared in a daze, feeling a little awkward.

“What? Only you and Gu Jingyan can be happy here but not us?”

At the mention of Gu Jingyan’s name, Lu Beichen’s face darkened. He looked in her direction and said contemptuously, “Haha, you want to join this class? You can join it. I’ll swap with you right now.”

Gu Jingyan turned her head, looked at them, and said, “Yeah, I think a certain someone is not suited for this class. You guys wanted to come here but it’s full, right? Well, that’s perfect. Someone is willing to back out, so you guys should hurry and join.”

The two of them looked at Gu Jingyan and then at Lu Beichen. “No way. What happened to you two?”

“Hey, don’t. There is no ‘us’. There is only me or her. Don’t lump us together,” Lu Beichen said.

Gu Jingyan scoffed. “That’s right. Animals are animals, while humans are humans. I’m not on the same path as a certain someone. Don’t say that in the future.”

The two of them then understood.

“No way. You guys fought?”

“No, no. I have completely cut off relations with a certain someone. Fighting? Do you know what it means by playing the piano in front of a cow? Can you call it a fight if it’s with a cow? You can’t. Understand?”

Gu Jingyan turned around. “Lu Beichen, who are you calling a cow?”

Lu Beichen smiled. “I wasn’t talking about you. Was I talking about you? Don’t make any assumptions.”

“You…”

Everyone then understood that the two were really bickering.

“What? If you don’t like it, you can leave.” Lu Beichen continued.

Gu Jingyan sat down. “This is my class and my seat. Why should I leave? The one who came later should leave.”

“Hey, you guys really don’t want it?”

“You shut up.”

“You shut up.”

The two of them spoke at the same time. In an instant, the atmosphere was as awkward as it could get.

Looking at each other, Gu Jingyan scoffed and turned around. Lu Beichen also hummed and sat down.

The other three people stood there, not knowing what to do.

Thankfully, it was time for class. They quickly left in a hurry.
