Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (32)

  (Second update)

  Unable to bear such a gaze any longer, he could only flee in disarray.

  Xia Ye laughed triumphantly, as if celebrating a victory, and caught Tang Su's cold stare. She stood up angrily and walked out of the bustling cafeteria, with Xia Ye following closely behind her, step by step.

  As she passed by a trash can, Tang Su dumped all the food that had only been eaten a few bites into it.

  Xia Ye's eyes widened in surprise, and she scolded, "You're not eating? How can that be? I'll take you out to eat! There's a ramen shop near the school that serves delicious beef ramen."

  "No! I want to lose weight!" Tang sugar quickly refused his invitation to dinner.

  "Lose weight?" Xia Ye's expression was as if he had heard something extremely absurd: "I don't think you're fat, as long as you look healthy and happy, that's all that matters." As he spoke, he suddenly came to a realization: "You're doing this for that scumbag?"

  Tang Sugar was about to be driven mad by him, and she shot him a big white eye. With an extremely unpleasant tone, she poked his slightly thin chest with one finger, causing Xia Ye to retreat like a defeated soldier, his eyes wide open as he defended Gu Xian for her: "Don't just call him a scumbag without saying anything, what's wrong with him?"

  One summer night, he grasped her extremely arrogant little hand, leaned in and said sharply, "What's not good enough about him?"

  Tang Sugar was momentarily speechless and couldn't respond, so he changed the subject: "When school lets out this afternoon..."

  She hadn't finished speaking, and Xia Ye slapped her own forehead hard, scolding herself: "Look at my memory! I came to find you specifically to tell you that I have physical training every day after school for this period of time, and there's a national competition in half a month, so I won't be able to go home with you. You must go home immediately after school, don't linger on the road, and don't get into trouble with anyone. If anything happens, bear it first and talk about it after my competition. Did you hear that, silly girl?"

  Xia Ye raised one hand and deliberately messed up her hair, Tang Sugar angrily slapped that restless hand away.

  Tang Sugar was originally thinking about how to get rid of Xia Ye after school today, but now it's just right, no need to rack his brains and waste his tongue, indeed even the heavens are helping himself, thank goodness!

  She couldn't help but feel delighted.

  On a summer night, regardless of whether Tangtang was willing or not, he still took her to the ramen shop and had a bowl of beef noodles before putting his mind at ease.

  Tang sugar's heart rose with guilt, Xia Ye was so good to herself, but... But as soon as she thought about walking side by side with Gu Xianian after school, her excited mood quickly drowned out the guilt in her heart.

  This was still Gu Xiannian's first time actively asking her to go home together.

  Afternoon classes were like years to Tangtang, and she eagerly awaited the end of school. Her heart was bubbling with joy as she quickly packed her bag and put it on her back, her face flushing red with a cute expression. With a hint of shyness and a smile, she glanced at Gu Xianye, who was slowly cleaning up his things, clearly indicating that Tangtang should leave first.

  Tang Sugar walked out of the classroom like a flash of lightning and stood under the green pomegranate tree at the school gate.

  The dense leaves of the pomegranate tree almost completely hid her from view, and passersby found it hard to notice her.

  Tang Sugar felt as if there was a small deer jumping around in her chest.

  She was like a girl on her first date, both nervous and expectant, secretly peeking through the dense pomegranate leaves towards the school gate.

  Suddenly, she thought of something very important, and hastily pulled out a small round mirror from her pocket, looking left and right, the more she looked, the more disheartened she became.

  The face in the mirror was really too fat, how could this self stand beside the elegant and refined Gu Xiannian? He didn't want to have any contact with himself at school, probably because of this. Tang Sugar thought sadly.

  High school boys are just as vain and showy as girls, romantic and dreamy in love, hoping to find a princess who can crush all the beauties and withstand various PKs and exhibitions.

  But his appearance is so bad that even if he stands beside him as an ordinary friend, he will feel ashamed and embarrassed.

  She was disgusted with her own chubby figure for the first time.

  Before, she thought it was a blessing from heaven to be able to live one day at a time, but now she suddenly feels that not being able to stand by Gu Xianyun's side openly and honestly has become a kind of torture.

  She really wants...to be like other girls, carefree and standing confidently by his side, she really does!

  But she clearly understood that it was just an unattainable dream...

  At that moment, she suddenly wanted to leave first, she was too ashamed!

  Tang Sugars heart sank as she put down the mirror, but suddenly found that Gu Xiannian was standing in front of her, she didn't know when he had appeared.

  She almost let out a cry of surprise, quickly covering her mouth with her hand. Thinking that Gu Xian might have witnessed her emotional changes from excitement to self-doubt and despair, she felt even more humiliated and ashamed, her heart racing with anxiety and embarrassment, her face alternating between red and white, looking utterly miserable.

  Gu Xian's smile was light and airy. The laughter was not the kind of gentle, indulgent laughter on a summer night, but rather had a hint of condescension and ridicule. Tang Sugar felt a pang in her heart, as if her self-esteem had been trampled on. She lowered her head, trying to avoid his gaze, like a guilty prisoner.

  Gu Xian led the way in front without saying a word, and Tang Sugar hesitated for a moment before following.

  She was laughed at by him to the point where she almost couldn't walk, following behind him with a very strange gait. Passersby A, B, C, D... glanced at her sideways, as if they were addicted, walking in front of her, behind her back, left hand, right leg, every direction, 360 degrees without dead ends, glancing at her again and again.

  Tang sugar was about to be driven mad by these hurtful gazes, feeling like a street performer wearing a dirty red jacket with unknown washing time, playing the gong and making a flashy entrance, in order to get the shiny one-yuan coin from the onlookers' hands, posing and striking various unbelievable poses, being admired by the crowd's gasps.

  Tang sugar didn't dare to raise her head and meet anyone's eyes, she was like a nun, with her eyes cast down, following closely behind Gu Xian Year.

  When they walked to the Street Heart Park, Gu Xi Nian suddenly stopped and turned around to wait for Tang Tang.

  Tangtang didn't know and continued walking forward, bumping into his arms like a zombie...
