“Xixi? Aren’t you going to be the first person on stage? It’s going to begin in ten minutes so why haven’t you changed?” Gu Xue’er walked over in a beautiful skirt after noticing Gu Xi had not finished her preparations at all. Gu Xue’er’s eyes flashed inexplicably but she had a worried expression as she asked, “Has something happened?”“It’s nothing…” Gu Xi shook her head and answered half-heartedly.“Is that so?” Gu Xue’er smiled as she looked at Gu Xi. “Then you should quickly finish preparing. There shouldn’t be a delay.” With that said, Gu Xue’er then turned around and left.Would Gu Xue’er really let Gu Xi give her speech without a hitch?She had long sent somebody to make sure Gu Xi’s clothes would not arrive on time.Gu Xi glanced at Gu Xue’er before making a phone call. She was then told that her clothes were on the way when the car delivering it met with an accident halfway and subsequently broke down as a result. Furthermore, she was also told that the clothes would not
One second, two seconds, three seconds…“Where is she?”“Why isn’t she on stage yet?”Everyone was talking about the situation fervently now.At that moment, a girl in a white dress rushed through the crowd on a skateboard, eliciting cries of surprise with her actions.Just as a lecturer was about to stop her for a scolding, she rushed past him like a gust of wind. Gu Xi skidded to a stop right before the stage.“Please help me take care of that skateboard.” Gu Xi told a person sitting in the first row. Without even properly facing the person she had just spoken to, she quickly jogged up the stage. She smiled when she met eyes with Lin Wan’er before she took the microphone to say, “I’m sorry I’m a few seconds late, and thank you for waiting for me, everyone.”Everyone below the stage was taken aback by Gu Xi’s stunning looks, so much so that they could only stare blankly for a few seconds.“Is that the new Campus Beauty, Gu Xi?”“She’s crazily beautiful. She’s a dozen times mo
The audience noticed the activity at the same time so they quickly turned around to look, only to see a black luxurious car with a limited-edition logo, which sent a wave of surprise over the audience.“Who is that? Why are they only just arriving?”The car slowly pulled to a stop before a man in a black suit emerged from within. He then bowed his head to respectfully open the back door of the car.In an instant, a fervent discussion erupted through the audience before somebody suddenly exclaimed, “Ahhh! So…so handsome…”“Oh, oh my god—”“Ahhh, look, quickly!”The second man that got out of the car was dressed in a full black suit, which accentuated his tall figure. He stood at almost a hundred and ninety centimeters, so he immediately overwhelmed everyone no matter where he stood!His high nose bridge, his cherry pink lips, his deep eyes, and his sculpted profile made it difficult for anyone to tear their gaze away.He was too perfect. How could a person that had both the best
Backstage, Gu Xue’er was frozen in shock. Only when Gu Xi threw herself into Xing Beiyan’s embrace did Gu Xue’er finally react.When Xing Beiyan appeared, she was pleasantly surprised and also extremely excited. This man was way more outstanding than any other man she had seen. None of the rich kids or the kids of officials in her university could compare to this man at all.Be it his family history, his looks, or his abilities, he excelled beyond everybody else by miles. The first time she had laid eyes on him, Gu Xue’er had sworn to herself that she would make this man hers!A wave of emotions overwhelmed her; although she knew this man had not shown up for her, she was happy all the same because his arrival meant that she had the chance to showcase her strong points and how she was much better than Gu Xi, who was just a pretty face!However, once Gu Xue’er saw Gu Xi rush into his embrace, her expression darkened significantly!Jealousy, envy, unwillingness, and rage filled her
The chancellor was dumbfounded at the sudden addition and was just about to stand up to get another chair when Gu Xi waved her hand dismissively like she knew what he was going to do. “There’s no need for that, I’ll sit with my darling,” Gu Xi said before settling into Xing Beiyan’s embrace.Could you not act a little more low-key? Darling here, darling there… Was Gu Xi not afraid of public rage?The chancellor was slightly bewildered since being seated next to a young couple meant that an old man like him was the biggest third-wheel in the world. Although the couple did not care, the chancellor felt extremely awkward and could not sit still because he itched to be as far from the couple as possible.“You aren’t busy today? Why are you here…” The performances had begun on-stage but Gu Xi could not care less about them, she only busied herself with speaking to Xing Beiyan.“No, I’m not…” Xing Beiyan slipped an arm around her waist, the soft feeling under his hands pulling his lips
Once Gu Xi and Xing Beiyan arrived at the snack kiosk, she immediately headed towards the freezers to take two ice-cream boxes.Xing Beiyan furrowed his eyebrows, and walked over to say, “You’re only allowed to eat one.”When the female boss saw the pair walk in, she was instantly stunned by their heavenly looks. Now that she had finally regained herself, she was stealing glances at the couple.“Why? You didn’t bring any money with you? I did,” Gu Xi said, first with a frown, then a smile.Xing Beiyan was taken aback but quickly reacted to say, “Eating too much will give you a stomachache.”“Okay…” Gu Xi pouted at his words because she knew Xing Beiyan would not indulge her in something like this. Although she found it a pity inwardly, she nodded her head in obedience anyway.Once they had bought their things, the pair left the snack kiosk.The young female boss quickly took the opportunity to sneak a photo of the couple before uploading it to Weibo with the caption, “Hmph, a di
“I, I didn’t mean that…” As Xing Beiyan’s face neared her own, Gu Xi could not help trembling as she stuttered an explanation.“Then what did you mean, hmm?” His final word seemed to brim with intimidation.A loud “gulp” sounded.Gu Xi had swallowed her saliva audibly, her eyes darting everywhere before she had suddenly lifted her head to peck his chin. However, she had put too much force into it and had knocked her teeth against him instead.“Hiss—” Xing Beiyan furrowed his eyebrows with words on the edge of his tongue, when he noticed his beloved one hissing in pain with her hand over her mouth.“Ouch, it hurts…” Gu Xi had a hand clamped tight over her mouth because the excessive force had not only caused her to knock her teeth against his chin, she had bit down onto her lip as well.“Let me see.” Xing Beiyan quickly removed her hand before he lifted her chin upwards so that he could see properly. Gu Xi had broken through her lip and bright-red blood seeped out.What was this
A single gaze from Xing Beiyan was enough to render Luo Yang immobile so how did a delicate girl like Gu Xi manage to subdue such a man?Luo Yang’s heart was overwhelmed with curiosity.At the same time, when the audience noticed only Xing Beiyan returning despite leaving with Gu Xi, they immediately muttered in doubt.“What’s going on? Where’s Campus Beauty?”“Could they have argued while on the way there and he sent Gu Xi away?”“Psh, didn’t you see the Weibo post the snack kiosk’s lady boss made? They’re as lovey-dovey as can be so maybe Gu Xi left because she had something to attend to?”“Hehe~ You’re being naive now. Don’t you know that the wealthy can be intimate when they need to be but once they want to break things off, they can do so with a single sentence at any given moment…”“That’s right. Besides, other than that pretty face of hers, what else does Gu Xi have going on for herself? Her family is going bankrupt so that’s probably why she’s going after the wealthy! Ot
