Chapter 564: Campus (21)
Finally, Wen Wan learned what Bai Linlin's request was: to cosplay the characters she liked, mostly female characters, with the occasional boy character. Wen Wan realized that Bai Linlin's feelings for her were definitely not romantic; it was indeed a master-pet relationship, with her being the pet and Bai Linlin wanting to be her master's servant.
After that, Bai Linlin's attitude towards her changed dramatically. She would invite her to go shopping together, and they would talk about all sorts of topics that only girls would talk about. She would buy all sorts of pretty dresses and even ask her to wear them for her. Wen Wan was a little worried at first, but she gradually became addicted to the feeling of being herself. At worst, she would just wear a mask and no one would know what she looked like.
Occasionally, she would bring Gu Qiao along. At first, Bai Linlin was very unhappy and had an instinctive aversion to this scoundrel who had taken away her cat. But gradually, she also discovered that this scoundrel was actually very good to her cat. At least she couldn't do it, and no man could do it. After all, these people have been pampered by others since they were born, and they have everything, so they are simply incapable of doing things that require taking care of others.
Well, I'll just take a look anyway.
...
And so, Wen Wan and Gu Qiao started dating. No one knew except Bai Linlin, who gradually became a fan of the couple and even sometimes dragged Gu Qiao along to cosplay as anime characters.
Bai Linlin asked Wen Wan if she wanted to open an account, but Wen Wan refused. She didn't object to Bai Linlin posting her own photos, but she didn't want to manage an account. She was lazy and didn't want to get involved in any profits.
At first, it was simply because of Bai Linlin, and later it was just because I thought it was fun.
Gu Qiao was even less likely to do it; if it weren't for Wen Wan, he might never have done these things in his entire life.
Liu Yating has been having a very difficult time lately.
Although Wen Wan resolved all the public opinion issues for her, no one dared to openly discuss her relationship with Qin Li. However, in their hearts, it was impossible for them to be uninvolved.
No one is close to her anymore. Even Gu Qiao, who has always been kind to her, has changed. She often doesn't see him, and it feels like she is about to lose him.
This is something Liu Yating cannot accept.
How could he leave me? How could he not stay by my side forever?
In the past, Gu Qiao was quite ordinary in every way except for his good grades. He had hair that covered half of his face and a strange personality. From childhood to adulthood, only Liu Yating was willing to be his friend. But recently, since Gu Qiao cut his hair, Liu Yating has slowly noticed a change.
This ordinary childhood friend suddenly became glamorous, and occasionally quite a few girls would come to her asking for Gu Qiao's contact information and inquiring about Gu Qiao's habits, after all, she was Gu Qiao's most important friend.
She began to pay attention to Gu Qiao, and even felt a sense of crisis. Even if she didn't like Gu Qiao, he couldn't leave her. Liu Yating was always certain that Gu Qiao liked her. After all, if he didn't like her, why would he be so good to her? And even willing to die for her?
The female lead was clearly unaware of the kindness her mother had shown Gu Qiao. She simply treated the male lead as her possession, feeling that it was already a great blessing that he liked her, that she could play with him, and that she could be his friend.
However, Guqiao has changed.
They were rarely seen, and even when they were, they were always following behind Wei Ming, their eyes fixed solely on him.
Perhaps Gu Qiao was only attracted to Wei Ming because he was too rich, and also because of their tutor-student relationship.
Even when someone asked her if Wei Ming and Gu Qiao were really a couple, Liu Yating found it laughable. How could that be? How could two men be together? And Gu Qiao liked her.
All of this collapsed the moment Liu Yating followed Gu Qiao and Wei Ming and saw them kissing in a secluded corner.
Liu Yating stared wide-eyed at the scene before her in disbelief, covering her mouth as she worried she would scream out loud.
Wei Ming and Gu Qiao? How could that be?
How can this be?
Afterwards, Liu Yating was in a daze as she accepted the matter, and even developed resentment. No wonder Wei Ming never accepted her; it was because of Gu Qiao. No wonder Gu Qiao changed and no longer paid attention to her; it was because of Wei Ming.
This is absurd. Both of them are men. Homosexuality is not legal in this world. How can the Wei family, as one of the four great families, allow their only heir to be gay?
Liu Yating harbored this huge secret and kept a close eye on the two of them. The more she paid attention, the more alarmed she became. The two of them didn't even try to hide it, but because of their gender, no one would suspect anything.
Liu Yating stopped in her tracks as she walked home with Gu Qiao.
"Gu Qiao, let's transfer schools."
Gu Qiao stopped in her tracks. "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly want to transfer schools?"
Liu Yating: "I'm under a lot of pressure at this school. Every day, countless people talk about me. I have absolutely no connection with Qin Li, and I have no idea what he did, but no one believes me. I can't take it anymore. I want to leave here. Come with me, and we'll go to another school."
Gu Qiao refused, "Ya Ting, I will help you transfer schools."
"And what about you? Didn't you say you'd always stay by my side? Are you going to break your promise now?"
Gu Qiao looked at Liu Yating and said, "Yating, I have a reason to stay. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will do it for you."
"Then I want you to transfer schools with me."
"No, this is not allowed."
"Why? Then I want you to be my boyfriend, so that no one will gossip about my relationship with Qin Li."
Gu Qiao resolutely refused, "No, Ya Ting, you are just my sister. If I agree to your request, it would be irresponsible of me. I promised Auntie that I would take good care of you, and I can't do that."
Liu Yating felt utterly disheartened.
"Then I want you to forbid Weiming from receiving tutoring, and we can continue as before, okay?"
Gu Qiao was intelligent and perceptive, so upon hearing this, she immediately understood why. "You know? About me and Wei Ming?"
Liu Yating broke down, grabbing Gu Qiao's sleeve, "Yes, I know, I saw you two kissing. Don't you find it disgusting? You're a man, and he's a man too. Just because he's rich? How can you be with a man?"
Gu Qiao calmly looked at Liu Yating. Seeing Liu Yating's accusatory expression, Gu Qiao felt a little sad. He had no relatives, and Liu Yating and his aunt were his only relatives. After his aunt died, he regarded Liu Yating as his most important sister. "Yating, I love her, whether she is a man or a woman, I love her. It's not because of money. I will pretend I never heard you say that, but I hope you can support me."
