Chapter 40

Gao Jing held out a bag and gave it to Su Qiuge.

After half a day, he finally choked out a sentence, “For you.”

Su Yuanzhou secretly examined Su Qiuge’s expression, but only met with a face full of profound mystery. Su Yuanzhou was unable to resist interrupting as he blurted out, “I didn’t want to come, it was him that insisted on bringing me along.”

“……”

Facing Su Qiuge’s slightly doubtful gaze, Gao Jing added, “Yes yes yes, I insisted on bringing him along.”

It just so happened that class ended at this moment, so the number of people in the hallway wasn’t small. As Su Yuanzhou felt the gazes of everyone passing by landing on his body, he finally couldn’t help but pull Gao Jing, “Let’s go, let’s go.”

Su Qiuge, who had originally wanted to refuse the bag, watched as the two inexplicably disappeared as if running for their lives.

They didn’t give her a chance to say anything before they left her alone in the original spot with a bag of food.

So……n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the end, who were those two?

Strange.

However, it was also difficult for her to ask, what if she really knew them?

She returned to class carrying the bag.

Quite a few people noticed as their gaze fell on the bag from time to time. There were even some who showed a look of envy.

The more Su Qiuge thought about it, the more bewildered she became. It didn’t seem like she’d heard about any suitors from her grade.

What was the matter with those two?

Were they her fans?

She didn’t realize she was so popular.

This incident just happened to be seen by Peng Jianda who came over to find her.

Peng Jianda stood by Su Qiuge’s seat and asked with a solemn expression, “Xiao Su, did you know those two?”

“……”

It was probably best to remain silent for now.

As a result, she showed an expression of profound mystery, the same one that she showed the two strangers from earlier.

Peng Jianda noticed her silence and thought she was embarrassed, “Those two aren’t good people. One of them has hooked up with more girls than the numbers of questions answered by our Brother Xing.”

Xie Xinglin casually glanced at the bag in Su Qiuge’s grasp, the pen in his hand twirled slightly.

Peng Jianda continued, “They probably saw that you were pure and beautiful, and thought you would be easy to cheat. When the time comes, they’ll probably throw you out after getting you.”

Tang Jie, who was off to the side writing his assignment, raised his head, “She’s pure and beautiful? I feel like when you are saying this, you are creating something from nothing…”

Su Qiuge: “Shut up.”

She was originally still confused about why there were people gifting her food, but now she finally understood.

As it turned out, those two were fishermen casting a wide net.

Indeed, one of them was actually quite handsome. If it was a young girl who was having their first awakening of love, they would definitely be easily deceived.

On the other hand, Su Yuanzhou, who had arrived at Class 12’s classroom, felt that something was wrong the more he thought about Su Qiuge’s attitude just now. He turned around and asked Gao Jing, “What was with her attitude just now? Why do I feel like she’s pretending not to know me at all?”

Gao Jing also found it strange. He carefully analyzed for a moment and came to a verdict, “She’s probably still upset.”

“Girls nowadays are just strange. If they’re upset, they won’t tell you why. Instead, they’ll want you to carefully analyze and think things through.”

Su Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows and sneered after listening, “How is Su Qiuge’s arrogance so large?”

Gao Jing patted his shoulder, “Girls are just like this; coax a bit and they’ll be fine. Last time when my cousin got angry because I didn’t let her play with my phone, I got her one for new year, and now her mouth is very sweet. She used to call me uncle, but now she calls me brother.”

**t/n: the raw uses 堂妹, which means younger female cousin from the father’s side of the family, English doesn’t have such specificities, so I ended up just using “cousin”; in China, family terms such as brother and uncle do not necessarily have to be used for blood relatives – it can be used to denote familiarity

Su Yuanzhou sat on a chair, “I refuse to coax, who cares about her.”

Gao Jing, “Okay, I also think it’s a little hard to coax. Let’s forget it.”

Afterward, he noticed that the mood surrounding Su Yuanzhou’s body changed, resembling a woman full of grievances.
