7. The fiercely protective demon king
How did I run into him?
What bad luck!
She immediately looked away, refusing to glance at him even once more.
This desperate attempt to avoid the situation caused Fang Zeqing's expression to darken.
"Ke Qi, what a coincidence, we meet again."
His dark gaze was fixed on her and Gu Zhao's tightly clasped hands, as if he wanted to burn her through.
"I didn't expect that you would find someone new less than four days after breaking up. You're so impatient."
He sneered: "Are you really that dependent on men?"
His words were sharp and sarcastic, without the slightest hint of tact.
Ke Qi had initially intended to ignore it, but now anger finally welled up inside her, "You..."
"What's it to you?"
Gu Zhao, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up.
As he spoke, his calm, peach-blossom eyes curved slightly, taking on a roguish glint that was three times more chilling than when he wasn't smiling.
"A good ex-boyfriend should be like he's dead, understand?"
"Or are you inherently insecure and need to use this to find a sense of self-worth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on Team A burst into laughter, showing no respect for Fang Zeqing whatsoever.
Ke Qi glanced at him in surprise.
This was the first time she had ever seen Gu Zhao argue with someone.
At that moment, she seemed to suddenly understand why students from A University and A Sports University liked to call him the Great Demon King.
Putting everything else aside, his mouth is really sharp!
But it really did feel satisfying!
Upon hearing this, Fang Zeqing's handsome face turned green. He abandoned his usual aloofness and roared, "Gu Zhao, you motherfucker..."
"Alright!"
Before he could continue his swearing, the team leader from Team A suddenly interrupted him in a deep voice.
"The game is about to start. Please be mindful of your manners and do not disrupt my students' game. Thank you."
After he finished speaking, he glanced back at the group of people from Team A behind him and said, "Let's go."
The group from Group A continued on their way, and when they passed Fang Zeqing and his group, they even gave them the middle finger and made faces at them in a provocative manner.
Fang Zeqing and the other boys were almost driven mad with anger.
"Damn it, those guys from A-sports are way too arrogant!"
"Exactly! A bunch of Gu Zhao's lackeys, I don't know what they're so smug about!"
"And that Ke Qi, not only is she promiscuous by nature, but she also helps people from other schools to humiliate people from our school. She's really despicable!"
"Exactly! Brother Fang, you must have been blind to have fallen for such a slut!"
Several boys kept cursing and swearing, but Fang Zeqing remained silent.
His gaze was fixed on the couple walking away arm in arm in the crowd. He unconsciously clenched his fists, his voice filled with gritted teeth: "Ke Qi..."
"Thank you, Gu Zhao!"
Ke Qi was completely unaware of the foul language being used; at this moment, all she could see in her bright eyes was Gu Zhao: "You were so cool when you were cursing!"
She was so impressed by Fang Zeqing's scumbag words that she admired him to the point of being speechless!
She smiled and said, "As a thank you, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
"Need not."
Gu Zhao's expression was indifferent. "It was just something I said offhand."
"Yes, yes!"
Keqi is a grateful person.
Gu Zhao has already let her "eat" him so many times, so it's only right that she put in the effort to feed him back; it's only fair.
"Just agree, Gu Zhao."
She gently shook the hand she was holding with his, her tone earnest.
"Even if it's not to express gratitude, we can still have a meal together. After all, we're a couple now, and that's something couples often do together, isn't it?"
Couple.
Gu Zhao silently repeated those two words in his mind, and after a moment, he stopped refusing.
"good."
