Chapter 3: The Favorite of Pseudo-campus Literature (3)

Han Cheng didn't expect Liu Lingxuan to call him suddenly.

However, his body reacted faster than his brain, and he would never refuse Liu Lingxuan's words.

So as soon as I opened my mouth.

He agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll go wherever Xuanxuan goes."

"Then come with us after school."

Liu Lingxuan knew that Han Cheng would not refuse, so after saying this, she turned around and went to chat with her best friend at the back table.

Han Cheng looked at Liu Lingxuan with eyes full of doting.

He didn't expect Xuanxuan to invite him, but he could also take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Xuanxuan, then he would have hope.

but……

Han Cheng couldn't help looking a little embarrassed when he remembered what he had promised Qiao Xi just a minute ago.

"that……"

He looked at the girl awkwardly, hesitant to speak.

Just when Han Cheng was at a loss as to how to explain.

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "That's great. I was thinking it would be dangerous for the two girls to go alone. If classmate Han goes too, we don't have to worry."

The girl's cheerful and lively voice.

Not only did he not sound unhappy, but he also sounded happy.

Han Cheng suddenly choked.

Somewhat unbelievably, "I, I... aren't you angry?"

He suddenly didn't know what to say, and just stared at the girl who seemed confused with wide eyes.

Qiao Xi couldn't understand what he said and tilted her head slightly.

"Huh? Why are you angry?"

She frowned slightly and muttered softly, her confused and puzzled look startled Han Cheng.

But then.

Her understanding and well-behaved behavior once again moved Han Cheng.

"Don't feel guilty. I can still ask the driver to pick you up. It's not safe for Liu and the other two girls to go out and play. I know you're worried about them, too, Han."

The girl's serious words and expression.

There was no sign of joking at all, as if Han Cheng really agreed to go out in order to protect the two girls.

Gu Xuanye was sitting behind Qiao Xi. His hand, which was stroking the pages of the book, paused.

He was originally reading a book, but when he heard the girl's words, he couldn't help but look up at her again.

There were slight ripples in my heart.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what Han Cheng is thinking.

But Qiao Xi was still giving Han Cheng serious instructions.

He even gave him some self-defense tips and reminded him to protect himself. It seemed that he really cared about Han Cheng's safety.

A hint of interest flashed in Gu Xuanye's eyes.

But he soon continued reading, his face calm and composed, as if he had never paid attention to what was happening over there.

Han Cheng was a little confused at first.

When he realized that Qiao Xi was really worried about him, looking at the girl so close to him, the guilt in his heart gradually magnified.

"Student Han, take this."

Qiao Xi handed something in her hand to Han Cheng.

When the girl gave him the thing, the distance between them seemed to be shortened a little unconsciously.

Getting closer.

Han Cheng soon smelled the elegant fragrance of the girl. He lowered his eyes slightly and could see the girl's white neck.

But this faint fragrance lasted only briefly.

Han Cheng felt a little regretful.

But when he saw the amulet in his hand, which still had a bit of the girl's warmth, Han Cheng's heart softened.

It's just shopping with a girl.

He had done this kind of thing many times before, and it was common for him to go out with any of his girlfriends.

but……

Although she cared about him so seriously, even to the point of being so serious that people would laugh at her if it got out, Han Cheng felt warm in his heart.

This girl is like a blank slate.

So pure and clean that there is nothing at all.

Such a kind-hearted girl is now worried about him, unlike those women who approach him with ulterior motives.

She is the only one who truly cares about herself.

Han Cheng was touched and wanted to tease her again.

"Qiao Xi, can I go shopping with you next time?"

He had long since turned over a new leaf for Liu Lingxuan and no longer went out to mess around with other women.

But when he asked this question now, Han Cheng felt a vague sense of anticipation in his heart.

When the girl heard his words, she was slightly stunned, and then she looked like a wilted and dejected little rabbit.

She shook her head slightly.

"My house is very strictly guarded, and my mother won't allow me to go out."

Han Cheng: “…”

He pulled the corners of his mouth together, revealing a forced smile.

I can’t explain the subtle feeling of loss in my heart, but I don’t care too much.

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

He had heard of the Qiao family in his circle. Qiao Jing, the heir of the Qiao family, was a cautious and conservative person.

Not very sociable either.

In the past, some people wanted to build a good relationship with him and hang out with him, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

Han Cheng found such people boring.

but.

I heard that the other party has now officially taken over Qiao's company and is developing very well with steady progress.

By the way, didn’t something happen in Gu Xuanye’s family recently?

Maybe this is an opportunity. After all, Xuanxuan obviously likes Gu Xuanye. Han Cheng feels that it is necessary for him to take action in advance.

Although they are brothers, Liu Lingxuan likes him.

That was a time bomb. Han Cheng decided to pursue Liu Lingxuan and give up after she got him, but Gu Xuanye's existence made him feel very unhappy.

So we can only take his life while he is ill.

I'm sorry for the friendship we've had as brothers, but now's not the time to tear each other apart. Han Cheng's eyes darkened as he pondered his new plan.

The morning classes are over.

After finishing his lunch in the cafeteria, Qiao Xi walked straight out of the school gate.

She doesn't live in the school.

Because I have to go home to take piano lessons, and I also have dance lessons in the evening, and I have to take etiquette lessons at home tomorrow morning.

Qiao's mother intends to train her.

Although being a lady from a noble family must be very tiring, Qiao Xi has no complaints as long as she can learn something.

In addition to school courses.

These extra lessons she takes at home are all taught one-on-one by a tutor hired by Qiao's mother.

When leaving the classroom.

Qiao Xi received a call from Qiao's mother.

"Xixi, you'll be at the airport tomorrow night looking for your brother. Remember to go with us to pick him up."

"I know, Mom."

Qiao's mother called just to talk about this.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi was also wondering who this brother Xun was.

But she didn't dwell on it too much and put the issue aside for the time being.

Qiao Xi went straight downstairs, and just as she turned the corner, she was stunned when she saw the figure leaning against the wall.

Gu Xuanye seemed to be waiting for someone.

He was reading a German book in one hand and folding his arms with the other, looking calm.

but.

When he noticed Qiao Xi out of the corner of his eye, his gaze also followed.

"Are you here? Let's go."

Gu Xuanye spoke lightly, and Qiao Xi noticed that he was talking to her.

When Gu Xuanye took a step forward.

She also followed with her bag, "Student Gu, are you waiting for me here?"

Gu Xuanye glanced at her.

"Well, Han Cheng asked me to take you home."

Qiao Xi understood that Gu Xuanye and Han Cheng were brothers with a very good relationship, but it was because Liu Lingxuan liked Gu Xuanye.

Later, Han Cheng became jealous.

That's why their brotherly relationship began to break down.

Seeing that Qiao Xi didn't say anything, Gu Xuanye's eyes showed some more sarcasm. He slowly raised the corners of his lips and said, "Are you disappointed that Han Cheng didn't come to see you off in person?"
