"Hey, you, you, you..." She pointed at Gu Ziyou, "weren’t you crying over there? Why are you eavesdropping on my phone call?"

Gu Ziyou wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still red and swollen.

"Since when did you start keeping in contact by phone? Mengmeng, are you also deceiving me with him?"

"I’m innocent, you heard what I just said, I’m a victim too."

Gu Ziyou had heard everything and knew that Mengmeng was unaware of this matter.

"Block him!"

Xue Mengmeng immediately blocked him, "Look, blocked. Hmph, who wants to take calls from such an unreliable classmate anyway? In fact, he doesn’t even remember who I am, isn’t that annoying? What’s most annoying is, he doesn’t even care that I was deceived. I’m really mad too, am I that insignificant?"

As she spoke, she pretended to be heartbroken.

Gu Ziyou finally managed to smile through her tears, "Stop messing around."

"So, how do you feel?" Xue Mengmeng noticed she recovered quickly, "After crying and venting, should I call him to come pick you up?"

"No." Gu Ziyou shook her head, hugging her, "I’m staying with you tonight."

Xue Mengmeng readily agreed, "Sure, as long as you don’t say you’ll stay with him tomorrow."

"Xue Mengmeng!"

"Got it, got it... But, you don’t plan on holding a grudge forever, right? Hm? It’s not that big of a deal."

Gu Ziyou leaned against the sofa, her eyes gazing at the ceiling.

"Not a big deal?" She bit her lip, "I want to settle both new and old scores! He was so awful back then, disappearing without a word. And we agreed. I was supposed to surpass him, how could he leave before I did that."

Xue Mengmeng said while munching on an apple, "I remember you were angry for a while, thought he was too inconsiderate. But didn’t you forget later on?"

"I had no choice, you can’t stay mad at someone you can’t see anymore. But now it’s different, now it’s even worse!" Gu Ziyou covered her face, "Besides, you don’t know, I feel like a fool lately, pretending to be poor in front of him, and also pretending I’ve been in love since I was 8. He even asked me about it, asked who I was in love with."

Xue Mengmeng laughed heartily, "He must have been confused, he sat next to you every day, never saw you in love with anyone."

"The worst thing is, I almost confessed. Thank goodness I didn’t."

Thinking of this, Gu Ziyou suddenly took her hands off her face.

"Wait, yesterday... He said something weird yesterday, that’s why I didn’t confess successfully. He said recently someone claimed to be his girlfriend, and he thought it was one-sided and should become mutual. Mengmeng, he has a girl he likes."

"No way. Wasn’t he talking about you?" Xue Mengmeng pondered, "I think he really cares about you, it’s not just because you’re friends that he wants to apologize. Otherwise, why didn’t he apologize to me?"

Gu Ziyou wasn’t sure anymore and decided to calm down herself.

After calming down, the weekend passed by.

She didn’t let Mengmeng call, but by Monday, she went to the company directly from Mengmeng’s place.

"Quit? Not quit? Quit? Not quit?" All morning, Gu Ziyou couldn’t focus on work, tangled in this thought.

She imagined herself as his girlfriend, but only Xie Nianjing knew about this.

Xie Nianjing and Shen Lingfeng didn’t even know each other!

If Shen Lingfeng wasn’t talking about her, she would definitely resign, she wouldn’t stay in this company, or in Hai City at all.

But what if...
