After the holiday, Gu Shengyin went to school and saw a pink letter on the desk.

Chen Jun, who was sitting next to her, looked envious: "I was the earliest to arrive in our class, but this letter was already on your desk when I got here."

Meaning he had no idea who had delivered it.

Gu Shengyin put her bag aside and gently opened the letter, reading it from start to finish.

The handwriting was delicate, describing the sensitive and romantic thoughts of an adolescent girl.

After reading, Gu Shengyin took out a pen and wrote a note at the end: "Thank you for your affection, but I already like someone else. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so focus on your studies, and next year when you get your letter of acceptance from a prestigious school, you will realize that compared to the excellent guys around you, Mo Beiye was just a nobody."

"Pfft!"

Gu Shengyin didn’t have a chance to block it, but Chen Jun took a glance while drinking water, almost choking himself to death.

Chen Jun looked at Gu Shengyin with admiration: "Dude, you’re ruthless. It’s one thing to reject someone, but to self-deprecate like that?"

Gu Shengyin carefully folded the letter again and put it back in the envelope.

She seriously said to Chen Jun, "Every girl deserves to be treated with care, especially when it comes to the sincerity of young girls. Besides, what I said is true; when she gets to college, she’ll meet even better guys."

Chen Jun was momentarily dumbfounded by her words.

After a while, he gave Gu Shengyin a thumbs up.

"Mo Beiye, you really... I’m impressed!"

He laughed and said, "Hearing what you said, your tone, your care, no wonder girls like you so much. If I were a girl and heard you say something like that, even if I didn’t like you, I’d want to be your friend."

Who wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who truly respects and cherishes them?

Chen Jun turned his head and watched his deskmate take out an English textbook and start memorizing vocabulary, his skin as fair as jade, his profile flawless.

Watching him made Chen Jun blush.

He quickly turned away, silently repeating "I’m straight" three times to suppress the sudden impulse and began self-study.

When it was time for breakfast, unsurprisingly, Yu Qingyue came over again. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

She grabbed Gu Shengyin, looking at her gossipingly: "Did my brother come to see you yesterday?"

There was nothing to hide, plus many people saw it.

Gu Shengyin nodded: "Yeah, your brother took me to a villa to see the lotus flowers. They were really beautiful. Did you have something else to do yesterday? Why didn’t you join us?"

Yu Qingyue: "..."

She really wanted to go, but if she joined her brother’s date as a third wheel without realizing it, she would have suffered miserably, right?

Remembering her big brother’s smile that sent chills down her spine, Yu Qingyue said quietly, "Yes, I had plans with someone else that day, so I couldn’t join you."

Hearing this, Gu Shengyin sighed regretfully: "What a pity, it was truly beautiful there, whether in the day or at night, especially at night when all the fireflies lit up, it was simply breathtaking!"

As she listened to her description, a trace of envy flashed across Yu Qingyue’s face.

She had been to her brother’s villa, but it wasn’t summer nor at night back then, so she hadn’t seen the stunning scenery Gu Shengyin described.
