Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (19)

  (Second update)

  Tang Sugar was unaware of the person following behind her, she focused on keeping an eye on Gu Xianye walking in front of her, maintaining a certain distance from him. She was afraid that if their classmates found out, it would add fuel to the fire and create more rumors in class. As for herself, she didn't care, anyway things were already like this, even if another bucket of dirty water was poured on her head, it wouldn't make a difference.

  But Gu Xian was different, he was a person who cherished his feathers so much, let alone not wanting to have any relationship with her from the bottom of his heart, and even more unwilling to communicate with her in front of his classmates at school.

  Although she felt a little lost in her heart, she was more excited and thrilled. Anyway, he was willing to contact her privately, which was a good start.

  But what is he doing so mysteriously for?

  Tang Sugar arrived at the west corner of the school with a big question mark on her head, Gu Xiannian was already waiting for her there, his expression looked very anxious and he vigilantly glanced behind her.

  Tang Tang subconsciously turned her head back, and there was nothing behind her. She found it a bit funny that she and Gu Xianian were like undercover agents in a war movie, tense and thrilling.

  She stopped a few steps away from Gu Xian Nian, afraid that if she got too close to him, he would dislike her.

  He frowned and lowered his voice, discontentedly saying to her: "Why are you standing so far away? Are you afraid I'll eat you up or something? Or do you want me to use a megaphone to talk to you?"

  Although his tone was full of disgust and his face looked ugly, Sugar was overjoyed and cautiously approached him, standing under his chin, clearly feeling his warm breath, as if... she could also hear his crazy heartbeat!

  Alright, I admit it, I misheard, and that irregular heartbeat is mine.

  Sugar was secretly mocking herself in her heart, but she felt very sweet and also very nervous, it was still her first date with him.

  But does this count as a date?

  She didn't dare to make any sudden moves, deeply afraid that some careless action would displease him and cause him to ignore her.

  She kept her head down and stared at her sneakers, as if the 361° shoes were more charming than the male god Gu Xiannian in front of her.

  "Th-that..." Gu Xiannian suddenly stuttered inexplicably, as if there was something he couldn't bring himself to say.

  Tang Sugar's head jerked up to look at him, and Gu Xianyan's face, which had lost its masculine features, was actually flushed bright red. His eyes seemed to be shifting around, not daring to meet Tang Sugar's gaze directly.

  Tang sugar's astonishment was layered again.

  "After a long time, Gu Xiannian finally gathered his courage and said: 'Can you help me keep a secret?'"

  "What secret?" Tang sugar was perplexed.

  He looked down with a hint of embarrassment, his toe drawing circles on the ground as he hesitated for half a day before mumbling: "It's... my family situation."

  Tang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood: "Oh, that one, great!" She responded loudly and refreshingly.

  Gu Xianni was startled and glared at her, scolding: "Are you trying to die? Why are you speaking so loudly? Do you want others to hear?"

  Tang Sugar's eyes widened in horror as she clutched her mouth with both hands.

  Gu Xiannian impatiently glanced at her, shook his head, pulled her hand away from his mouth and said: "Your brother also knows about it, do you have a way to make him not tell others?"

  Tang Sugar hastily nodded like a small chicken pecking at rice, patting his chest to guarantee: "You can rest assured, if he dares to reveal even half a word outside, I will make him die in a very ugly way!"

  Gu Xiannian didn't show a relieved smile, instead he looked at her with an odd expression, as if they had just met, nodded and muttered to himself: "So all those rumors were true."

  The tone sounds somewhat disdainful.

  "What rumor?" Tang Sugar immediately became uncomfortable, she knew that there were many rumors about her, Du Juan had been tirelessly blackening her name, it was hard to think of a name.

  All the negative rumors about her that everyone can know and believe to be true, she only hopes that Gu Xian doesn't hear them, or even if he does, he won't take them seriously. She hopes that her impression in his heart isn't so bad after all.

  "It's nothing!" In an instant, Gu Xiyan's face, which had been slightly awkward just a moment before, suddenly switched to a cold and frosty demeanor. She didn't even bother to put on her usual gentle expression to comfort the bewildered girl. With her chin held high, she looked over Tang Sugar's head, not even deigning to glance at her.

  Just now still heart like deer collision of sugar, face a touch of flush has gone, pale a face, like a timid ghost tightly grasping own clothes corner.

  "By the way, do you know who followed Du Juan and took those photos, then express mailed them to Teacher Qin?" Gu Xiannian asked somewhat abruptly.

  Tang was taken aback and blurted out: "What photo? What express delivery?" She had a completely innocent look on her face.

  Gu Xiannian looked at her for a long time and felt that she didn't seem to be lying, but couldn't help frowning.

  The class bell rang at this time.

  Tang Sugar saw that he didn't speak, and his heart was even more suspicious. He followed Gu Xianian, who was running to the classroom, and curiously asked: "What's going on? Can you tell me?"

  "Somebody tailed Du Juan and took pictures of her hiring people to vandalize the classroom, and they even handed those photos over to Teacher Qin." Gu Xiannian said while running.

  Tang Tang stopped in shock behind him, and after a few seconds, he came to his senses and chased after Gu Xian Nian back to the classroom.

  In the next English class, she kept thinking about what Gu Xian said, connecting the events of the past few days, and gradually had an outline in her mind. She finally understood why Teacher Qin would remove Du Juan's vice-class leader position.

  But what does this have to do with Gu Xian? Why did he receive a penalty of being left behind for observation?

  Tang Sugar was in a daze, the English teacher walked to her desk, knocked heavily on her desk, and shocked her out of her distracted state. Tang Sugar looked up at the angry teacher with fear, hastily picked up her pen and started taking notes.

  When the English teacher walked back to the podium, Tang Sugar dared to lift her head up and accidentally met Du Juan's gaze. Her eyes were sharp like two knives, directly aimed at Tang Sugar, as if they had a deep vendetta against each other.

  Tang sugar was startled, and suddenly thought of an important question. This time, although she had been wrongly accused and cleared unexpectedly, Gu Xian and Du Juan must have thought that the person who reported them was herself. That's why Gu Xian looked at her with that kind of gaze a few days ago.

  How can I clarify that it wasn't me who did it? Tang Sugar thought anxiously.
