December 12th is Gu Qingze’s birthday.
In fact, he didn't know when he was born. This day was the day when the director picked him up at the door of the orphanage, so he regarded this day as his birthday.
Gu Qingze had always felt that birthdays weren't much to celebrate. After all, it wasn't his actual birth date anymore, and with no one celebrating for him, there really wasn't much point in celebrating.
So, when his birthday came again, he lived his life as usual.
However, during the ten-minute break, a girl walked up to him with a smile.
"Classmate, do you have something to ask me?"
Gu Qingze looked at her in confusion. This girl's name was Ye Li. She was the English class representative of their class and they had little interaction with each other.
Ye Li spoke after a while.
"Gu Qingze, is today your birthday?"
Gu Qingze was a little confused. Normally, when a classmate has a birthday, they don’t celebrate in class. Could it be that the class system has been reformed?
"How do you know?"
Gu Qingze was a little confused.
"I accidentally saw it when I was delivering documents to the teacher."
Gu Qingze nodded, but was still confused.
"I wonder if there's anything wrong with classmate Ye?"
"I...do you have any other plans for your birthday?"
I don’t know why, but Ye Li’s face suddenly turned red when he asked this question.
"Student Ye, your face is so red. Do you have a fever? Don't force yourself to keep doing it just to avoid delaying your studies. Get treatment early and recover quickly. Otherwise, if it gets serious, you'll miss out on even more schoolwork."
Gu Qingze said with concern, he had deep feelings about this matter.
Ye Li seemed not to have expected him to say this suddenly, and her face turned even redder.
"No... I'm fine, I don't have a fever. You haven't answered my question yet."
"I don't have any plans for my birthday."
Student Ye Li is really hardworking. Even though he had such a serious fever, he still insisted on studying.
Gu Qingze was somewhat impressed.
"Oh, do you have a girlfriend?"
Ye Li gave him a sweet smile.
Gu Qingze was a little confused about what she was saying. Why was her words so incoherent?
I understand, she must be mocking me!
First he mocked me for not having anyone to celebrate my birthday with, and then he mocked me for not even having a partner.
Gu Qingze frowned. He had never offended her before. Why did she choose his birthday to mock him?
"Student Ye, as far as I know, you don't have a partner, right? Are you kidding me?"
"ah?"
Ye Li stood there in a daze, not knowing how to refute.
Gu Qingze sighed. He decided to go out and get some exercise. He didn't expect that just because he was doing the questions honestly, someone would come and laugh at him.
He originally thought that the girl would come over and mock him for a few days.
Unexpectedly, after that, the girl never paid any attention to me again except for collecting and sending homework.
Later, for some unknown reason, Shen Yichen gradually distanced himself from her and got together with Ye Li.
However, it was already the second semester of his senior year, with less than a hundred days left until the Gaokao. Everyone was busy preparing for the exam, so while he had a vague feeling something was amiss, he didn't have a strong sense of it.
After graduation, when he knew that he had been blocked by Shen Yichen, he finally felt the reality. However, he was busy working to earn tuition at that time and had no time to care about the cause and effect of this matter.
(PS: The reason why this chapter is so confusing is because it is from Gu Qingze's perspective. He is very slow to understand people's emotional changes. There will be a special chapter from Shen Yichen's perspective later. Then you little cuties will be able to understand it clearly.
PS: Ye Li is not a bad person, and her experience is very pitiful. Later, she was written into the book by the original novel author and became the male protagonist's harem. Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao will meet her.)
