"How was it finally resolved last night?"
Ying Qian came over early in the morning and asked Gu Xinan.
He was explaining a problem to the student behind him when he heard her barely audible voice. He nonchalantly said, "I don't hit women."
Seeing Ying Qian's sudden change in expression, he solemnly assured her, "She will never bully you again."
During recess, while going to the restroom, Xu Tiantian excitedly pulled her aside and said, "You know what! That girl who bullied us last time! Qin Sheng! She, and a few others from her clique, have all been expelled!"
Ying Qian froze instantly.
Is Gu Xinan that powerful?
"Do you...do you know what happened?" Ying Qian asked skeptically.
She didn't believe it was Gu Xinan.
Xu Tiantian frowned and told Ying Qian everything she knew: "It seems that the principal made the decision because there were too many people reporting it. After the principal investigated, he was so angry that he expelled them."
"Coincidentally, their parents didn't come to the school to cause trouble! It's unprecedented..." She got more and more excited as she spoke, "When we were in the first year of high school! One of them drove a girl to suicide, and she was fine afterwards... It's terrifying!"
"I'll tell you a secret!" Xu Tiantian whispered in Ying Qian's ear, "This time, there's definitely someone helping us behind the scenes..."
She told Gu Xinan about it.
Gu Xinan was also surprised. He said, "It wasn't me! I don't have such awesome skills! If I did, you wouldn't have gotten beaten up, okay?"
His tone was sincere.
It seems he genuinely doesn't know.
Who is that?
Ying Qian searched for the names and could only conclude that it was either Meng Beiyan or Chen Wenzhi who made the move.
She stared at the pack of tissues on the table, her lips trembling slightly.
It's so good to have friends... It's so good to have friends...
The matter is now closed.
It wasn't until much later that Ying Qian found out who the person who had been working behind the scenes was, but by then, he had already started a family and career.
Not long after, the results of this quiz came out.
Gu Xinan caused quite a stir at school because of his zero score in politics. He was punished by standing at the door for a whole week, although he did stand in the classroom during class.
"Um..." Ying Qian slowly walked to his side under Xu Tiantian's strong insistence, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.
Gu Xinan found it somewhat amusing, staring at her blood-red earlobes, his eyes darting around, and said nonchalantly, "Spit it out!"
This is the third day he's been punished by standing, and he's already used to it.
"sorry!"
She bowed her head and respectfully handed over a letter.
Gu Xinan chuckled, took it, and stuffed it into his shirt pocket.
This was the first time he had ever received a letter from a girl.
first.
He had received countless love letters, all of which contained the word "love." He felt he couldn't bear the responsibility, so he sometimes kept them without opening them, but most of the time he threw them away.
However, the letter Ying Qian gave was not necessarily a love letter.
So, just keep it.
He smiled, even though his ears were red from the cold and his hands were frozen stiff, he didn't say anything.
He could have easily asked Ying Qian to get him a cup of hot water, just like she would have asked him to.
"Let me get you a glass of water."
She fled at top speed.
Gu Xinan leaned against the tiles behind him, his hand in his pocket stroking the kraft paper envelope, a smile spreading across his face.
The person who delivered the water was Xu Tiantian.
He knew they were friends, and returned a polite smile, saying, "Thank you."
"You're welcome~" Xu Tiantian's voice was sweet and gentle, making people feel an urge to protect her.
She excitedly ran back to the classroom and threw herself into Ying Qian's arms.
Gu Xinan held the plastic cup filled with hot water, smiling faintly.
"Oh—he said 'thank you' to me! And he even smiled at me! This is the first time Gu Xinan has ever smiled at me."
Ying Qian saw Xu Tiantian's infatuated expression almost every day, and the object of her affections was always Gu Xinan. She really admired Xu Tiantian's dedication and persistence.
"He's love-struck," Ying Qian sighed, rubbing her forehead.
"Hehehe." Xu Tiantian stuck out her tongue at her, boldly indulging in her fantasies, "We're not dating yet, but I feel like it'll happen soon! We'll date after graduation, get married after graduating from university... and then..."
After this, Ying Qian couldn't help but applaud.
"sharp!"
Hehe! Thank you for the compliment~
In the afternoon, during PE class, the playground was covered in snow.
The PE teacher took a stool, sat down under a bare tree, and waved for everyone to move around freely.
Gu Xinan was still standing at the classroom door.
He looked around to make sure no one was watching before quietly opening the letter.
The letter contained very little content, barely half a page.
The handwriting was incredibly neat, and Gu Xinan could tell that she had written it seriously. The content was a bit careless, but he didn't want to be too critical.
The moment he saw the handwriting, he grinned foolishly. From the moment Ying Qian handed him the letter that morning, his heart pounded as soon as the letter came into view, and he was afraid that Ying Qian could hear it.
Never mind, I might as well take this opportunity to tell her.
He finally mustered up the courage to have a proper talk with Ying Qian, but the person who delivered the water wasn't her; it was Xu Tiantian, the girl who liked him, whom he had rejected many times.
But they actually became good friends, so he had to smile at her to avoid being disliked by Ying Qian again.
He composed himself and read the letter with bated breath.
Title: Apology Letter
Gu Xinan, thank you, but I'm also sorry. I know your current predicament is all because of me. You've taken care of me in terms of daily life, but you really didn't have to be so good to me, even if Chen Wenzhi asked you to! It would cause misunderstandings, even though you certainly don't like me.
