Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (1)

  The next day, Tang sugar and Xia Ye went to school together. On the way, Tang sugar saw Gu Xiannian from afar, her heart inexplicably tense, thumping wildly, unable to move her gaze away from him, hoping he would glance at her, even if just once.

  Gu Xiannian walked past her with an air of indifference, his head held high and his chest out, as if he hadn't seen her at all.

  Tang Tang was stunned on the spot, she originally wanted to take the initiative to greet him, her mouth had already made a good shape, but his indifference pierced her heart so painfully, her heart was like a roller coaster, rapidly falling down, the smile that had been forced onto her face quickly faded, she lowered her head, feeling heavy in her eyes, tears rolling back and forth in her eye sockets, she pretended to look elsewhere, secretly wiping them away with her hand.

  Xia Ye glared at Gu Xian's back with disgust and snorted: "What the heck!"

  Tang Sugar found it extremely irritating, as if she had been insulted herself. She was furious but couldn't lash out at Xia Ye, so she glared at him fiercely and quickly ran away.

  On a summer night, he followed closely behind for two steps before stopping. He saw Tangtang stop running a few steps away from Gu Xianye, like a small dog abandoned by its owner, pitifully following him, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

  Tang Sugar walked into the classroom with a lack of enthusiasm, and saw that Gu Xiannian had arrived earlier than her, chatting and laughing with their classmates. The two accidentally met each other's gaze, but Gu Xiannian quickly looked away in disgust, turning his head to continue chatting and laughing with their classmates.

  Sorrow, like an unpredictable typhoon, suddenly stormed into Tang Sugar's heart. She lowered her head and silently walked to her seat, the sad emotions rising like a tide, almost drowning her.

  Although he had never been particularly good to her before, on the contrary, because children in their youth are more concerned about face, they all kept a distance from this mediocre girl, as if being friends with her would lower their prestige and taste. He was colder to her than to other classmates, but at least every day when he saw her, he would still give her a warm smile. Never had he ignored her like today, not only did he not flash his signature smile, but also so directly and coldly treated her as if she were air.

  Tang Sugar felt that her heart was like falling into an icy cave in the severe winter, cold to the point of being at a loss. For the entire morning, whether it was during class or after class, she couldn't calm down, and kept stealing glances at Gu Xiannian. His face was abnormally calm, with anger hidden inside. Was he angry? Was he mad at her? But what was he mad about?

  Tang Sugar searched for the entire morning but couldn't find an answer.

  Fortunately, it was noon, and Sugar, who had almost lost hope, reignited her hopes. As soon as the last class bell rang, she rushed to the cafeteria to grab lunch.

  She cooked for two people alone and was naturally despised by her fellow students in the back of the line, who said all sorts of things.

  "Die, fat pig, eat and go die!"

  "Death is not scary, what's scary is being bedridden and unable to move."

  "Who helped her up? Haha... "

  Such hurtful words kept pouring into Tangtang's ears, but she pretended not to hear them. She was only thinking of how to make amends with Gu Xianian.

  She can't stand him ignoring her, it's really unbearable!

  When Sugar enthusiastically handed the meal to Gu Xinyuan with high hopes, he took it over and only coldly said: "Thank you." Then he sat down at a table with Du Juan and others, eating and chatting. No one paid attention to her.

  Tang sugar sat quietly beside them, listening to their conversations, unable to join in. She couldn't squeeze into their circle and stared blankly at them, even forgetting to eat her meal, feeling sad inside.

  She rubbed her face hard with her hands, hoping to thicken her skin a bit, and slowly got up, rubbing against Gu Xian's side, with a flattering smile, and said timidly: "That... I like to eat fatty meat." Her two eyes were tense, staring at Gu Xian's every move.

  It seemed that Gu Xiannian hadn't heard anything, but Tang Su felt two cold breaths rushing out of his nostrils, as if he was sneering. His heart sank involuntarily, like a prisoner waiting for the verdict, becoming more and more restless.

  Gu Xian took a piece of fatty meat from his lunchbox and threw it into the trash can behind Tang Tang, a triumphant smile spreading across his face: "Not bad, three points for a direct hit!"

  Tang sugar's face turned grayish white.

  "Want to eat? Go pick it up from the trash can!" Du Juan and the others jeered, their loud laughter pounding Tang Su's self-esteem into dust.

  Tang sugar could no longer maintain the smile on her face, before collapsing, she turned and left, sitting alone in a deserted small pavilion in the school with autumn chill, silently shedding tears while eating mouthfuls of food, occasionally letting out one or two uncontrollable sobs from her throat, which made her feel even more sorrowful when she heard them herself.

  She wiped away her tears fiercely and continued eating, today's meal is really unpalatable!

  "Is it worth crying for that kind of person?" Xia Ye somehow followed over and sat down beside her, naturally putting a chicken leg into her lunchbox.

  Tang sugar's girl's thoughts were repeatedly seen through by him, and she was so angry that she slammed the chicken leg into his bowl, stood up and shouted at him: "Is it worth it? What does it have to do with you?"

  After finishing speaking, she hastily poured the rice into the trash can, although Mingming felt hungry, she didn't want to eat anymore.

  When she returned to the classroom, many of her classmates were using their lunch break to rush through their homework. Tang Sugar also took out her homework and started doing it.

  "Oh no! Who brought correction fluid?" Gu Xiannian asked his classmates beside him.

  "None." everyone replied in unison.

  Tang Sugar hastily rummaged through her backpack and pulled out the new correction fluid she had just bought, handing it to Gu Xian Nian. Gu Xian Nian glanced at it but didn't reach out to take it.

  Tang Tang's hand was suspended in mid-air, neither extending nor retracting, as mocking and disdainful glances shot towards her from all directions, almost freezing her solid. She felt extremely embarrassed.

  She finally stood up, walked to Gu Xian's seat with a thick face, put the correction fluid on his desk and turned around to leave.

  Not two steps away, she heard a sound behind her and turned back to see that Gu Xian had already thrown her correction fluid into the trash can with an expressionless face.

  Sugar heard the sound of her own heart breaking.

  At that moment, all the grievances she had endured for half a day could no longer be suppressed and surged up to her heart. Tang Sugar stumbled back to her seat, buried her head in her arms, and lay on the table, her shoulders shaking violently.

  "Look! She's crying!" Du Juan said with a gloating tone.
