Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (8)

  Yesterday's chapter has undergone major revisions.

  As he walked out of the office building, Gu Xian looked around and saw that there were almost no people on the playground. The first two classes in the morning did not have any physical education classes scheduled for any grade, so the entire campus was as quiet as a gentle girl.

  Gu Xian could no longer bear his curiosity and secretly checked the information on the mobile phone that Teacher Zhao had given him.

  When I opened the picture, I was stunned when I saw the first one. My heart "thumped" wildly and couldn't stop.

  He quickly flipped through the pictures, his mood becoming increasingly tense. When he had finished flipping through all of them, he was completely stunned. How could the truth be like this?

  His brain was as if it had been struck by a fatal blow in an instant, forgetting time and losing the ability to think, only feeling dizzy. Until the bell rang at the end of class, he woke up from his daze and returned to the classroom in a state of disorientation.

  "Hey, I told you to go find Teacher Qin, but you're nowhere to be found! Where did you run off to for the entire class? Don't tell me you went to visit that mental patient again?" Du Juan teased mercilessly.

  "That's enough! Stop dragging me and Tang Su together for no reason! You know best what you've done yourself!" Gu Xiannian furiously shouted at her.

  Du Juan was taken aback, she had never seen Gu Xiannian so angry before. For some reason, she felt a twinge of guilt when she saw his expression. Although her tone was still arrogant and showed no signs of weakness, her words were laced with a hint of probing: "What do you mean?" However, her expression had clearly become very tense, her two eyes fixed intently on Gu Xiannian's reaction.

  Gu Xiannian lowered his head and made an effort to adjust his emotions, that one loud cry had already caught the attention of his classmates, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

  When he lifted his head again, his expression had returned to being fairly calm, but also looked quite cold, as if he didn't want to continue the conversation from earlier. He perfunctorily said: "It doesn't matter, I was just in a bad mood earlier, don't mind it."

  The anger that had flashed across Du Juan's face quickly receded, replaced by a look of puzzlement. She noticed the phone in his hand - it wasn't his! Whose phone was it?

  The fourth period in the morning was physical education class, everyone cheered and jumped for joy, not because they liked physical education so much, but because among all subjects, only this one didn't require brainwork and could relax a bit. Studying is really exhausting.

  In high school, physical education classes are relatively free. As long as the teacher's teaching plan is completed, you can choose your favorite sports project. Usually boys play basketball and girls play badminton.

  In the past, although he was not very tall, he was extremely interested in the NBA. His bedside was covered with pictures of Jordan, Jeremy Lin and Yao Ming, so he also liked playing basketball.

  But today, a boy called him to play basketball together, he shook his head and refused, sitting on the substitute bench looking at others playing absent-mindedly, in fact, his mind was always thinking about those pictures on his phone, feeling an inexplicable sense of eeriness that made his scalp explode.

  He got up and tried not to disturb anyone, quietly walking into a very secluded place in the school where there were usually few people.

  He wanted to take another look at the pictures on his phone, but when he reached into his pocket, it wasn't there. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Oh no, he had put the phone in his backpack. What if some classmates snuck back into the classroom during gym class to copy homework from his bag and accidentally found those pictures? The consequences would be unthinkable.

  Gu Xian's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he quickly ran back to the classroom.

  How strange! The classroom door was tightly closed against all reason, and a bad premonition had already risen in his heart.

  He slowly turned the doorknob, his heart filled with conflicting emotions. He was afraid that once he opened the door, he would see a scene he least wanted to face, but he had no choice but to confront it, for he had to stop it from spreading further.

  Thinking of this, Gu Xianyan no longer hesitated and suddenly pushed open the door. Sure enough, someone was rummaging through his backpack, and that person was Du Juan!

  She had just found her phone in her backpack when she saw Gu Xianian walk in, and both of them were suddenly stunned.

  The cuckoo was seen and became even more flustered, holding onto her phone in a daze.

  Gu Xianni suddenly became anxious and rushed over in three strides, trying to grab back that phone.

  Azalea had by now steadied her nervous emotions, dodging and weaving while checking the information on her phone. When she saw those photos, her face turned white in an instant, and she desperately tried to stop Gu Xianyun's snatch.

  But how can a girl fight against a boy?

  Gu Xiannian quickly overpowered her and pinned her against the wall of the classroom.

  He was about to grab the phone when several boys walked into the classroom, chatting and laughing. Seeing Gu Xian and Du Juan in this state, they were first stunned, then burst out laughing, and walked towards them.

  Camellia took the opportunity to hide her phone in her school uniform, and the terrified expression on her face instantly switched to a shy appearance, saying: "Let go, class leader!"

  "Hey! Monitor, you should learn to cherish and appreciate others, you've hurt her!" a boy teased.

  Gu Xian year had no choice but to let go, watching helplessly as Du Juan ran out of the classroom with her phone, about to chase after her, when she was blocked by a group of boys who continued to tease him.

  "Class monitor, I didn't expect this! You look so gentle and honest, always studying hard, I thought you weren't interested in girls. But it turns out your skills in picking up girls are top-notch! We can understand flirting with Du Juan, but you even went for Tang Su, who nobody else wants? You really aren't picky, you'll take anyone!" The boys teased.

  In the past, he was too lazy to explain and persuade them, using force to push away their encirclement, thinking of going out of the classroom to find Du Juan, but Du Juan unexpectedly came back on her own.

  She smiled and handed the phone back to Gu Xian Nian, saying "Here you go."

  Gu Xian looked at her with a heavy gaze, his face tense, knowing that all the evidence had been deleted by Du Juan. However, he couldn't help but open his phone to confirm, and indeed it was so.

  He silently took his phone and walked out of the classroom, just wanting to find a quiet place to calm down by himself.

  The cuckoo hesitated for a moment and followed up.

  Several boys behind them made fun of them: "How romantic! They can't bear to be apart for a moment!"

  Camellia was very happy in her heart, she just hoped that all her classmates would think that she and Gu Xianian were together.

  As he walked out of the teaching building, Gu Xian stopped and said with disgust, without turning his head, "All evidence about you has been deleted by you. What are you following me for?"

  "I...I want to talk to you." Dujuan said timidly.

  Gu Xiannian was taken aback for a moment.

  Camellia has always been very proud of herself, except for her teacher, she speaks to everyone with a high tone, this is still the first time Gu Xian hears her lower her posture, can't help but feel a little soft in her heart, didn't refuse or agree, and continued walking forward.

  They walked to a quiet and deserted place, Gu Xian stopped, although he didn't say a word, but Du Juan understood that he was waiting for her to speak.

  Azalea felt inexplicably tense and even sweated in her palms.

  She hated this tense self, always her Princess Duan's condescending attitude towards others, never like today, like a prisoner, showing weakness in front of others, all thanks to Tang Sugar, and her hatred for Tang Sugar added a lot more.

  "I did it out of desperation." Du Juan said weakly.

  Gu Xiuyan snorted and teased: "Can't help it? Is someone forcing you to do this?"

  "Yes! Someone is forcing me to do this!" Tuan Yuan returned to his usual self, arguing over every little thing, and said furiously.

  Gu Xiannian slowly turned around, his eyes coldly staring at Du Juan.

  The cuckoo showed no sign of remorse, but instead fearlessly met his icy gaze, saying word by word: "That person is you!"

  "Me?" Gu Xi Nian asked in confusion, his face a picture of perplexity.

  "It's you!" Du Juan said with a decisive tone.

  "Would I have done that if you didn't like Tong sugar?" Du Juan almost shouted, her face flushing bright red.

  "I know you don't like girls who play games with people's feelings, but I want her to completely lose her image in your heart! Don't ask why, because I like you!"

  Du Juan bravely stared at Gu Xiannian, and even the warm confession that came out of her mouth gave people a sense of urgency.

  She didn't know that Gu Xian Nian only liked gentle and soft-spoken girls, but Gu Xian Nian's eyes still became very soft as he patiently told Du Juan: "I really never had a liking for her, it's just... I thought she was too pitiful!"

  "Oh? Really?" Du Juan said coldly, completely disbelieving Gu Xiannian's words.

  In the hospital, as soon as Xia Ye left, Tang Su struggled to get out of bed and walked slowly to the attending physician's office with a floating pace.

  The doctor in charge was looking at the medical records and saw her coming in, saying: "You don't rest well, what are you doing running to me here?"

  "Doctor, please don't mention my illness to my brother!" Tang Qian begged.

  The doctor in charge put down the medical record in his hand and said helplessly, "You've been asking me for help since you woke up, my ears are numb! Do you know how serious your illness is?"

  "Don't worry about me, I've been taking medicine to control it, and I'm feeling fine!" Tang Sugar said with a forced smile.

  The doctor looked puzzled: "Why don't you want your family to know?"

  Tang sugar hung her head and lowered her eyelids, saying: "I don't want them to worry about me."

  The doctor sighed, just about to speak, when a knock at the door was heard outside. Xia Ye walked in immediately after, looking suspiciously at the two of them and asked Tang Su: "How did you end up here?"
