Fu Chenxi looked at the two guys who said hello to Gu Jingyan and left. She stood there for a long time before sitting down.
"Beichen. Who were those two guys?" She asked quietly.
Lu Beichen was still staring at the back of Gu Jingyan's head with a look of contempt. Seeing that Gu Jingyan did not turn back, he scoffed and made a prideful expression. He took his book proudly.
Upon hearing Fu Chenxi's words, he then replied to her. "Oh, they are also some childhood friends. They got bored with their old school, so they transferred here."
"Ah, I see... I saw that you and Gu Jingyan both know them," Fu Chenxi said.
Lu Beichen scoffed. "Yeah. It's all because the circle is so small. These people know one another more or less."
Fu Chenxi understood and the corners of her mouth twitched. She smiled and said, "Oh yeah, there are a limited number of wealthy people after all, and you are all in B City. Did you guys play together when you were young?"
"I hung out with them when I was little. Obviously, I'm not on the same path as some people." Lu Beichen was still resolved about not mentioning Gu Jingyan's name. Fu Chenxi said, "Then how come they seem so close to Gu Jingyan?"
Lu Beichen said, "Yeah, they live closer to the Gu family, so it's kinda like growing up in the same big yard. That is why they are quite close."
Fu Chenxi understood but lowered her head as she fiddled with her hands. She looked at Gu Jingyan, and then at Lu Beichen.
Lu Beichen noticed that her expression was off. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Chenxi smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just feel like you're closer to your circles than me. I don't know anything at all."
Lu Beichen understood this and said nonchalantly, "So what about it? They're just childhood friends, nothing more. When you're younger, you're bound to have some crazy friends, and also some from your neighborhood."
Fu Chenxi said, "I... I was stupid when I was young too. I didn't have any friends. Jingyan has been my only friend."
Lu Beichen said, "And now you have me."
Fu Chenxi heard this and looked at him gratefully. Her heart warmed. She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I have you... Exactly. Don't argue with Gu Jingyan anymore."
"Alright, alright. Let's focus on our class." At the mention of this, Lu Beichen immediately frowned and changed the topic.
Lunch time at the canteen.
Lu Beichen was with Fu Chenxi. Little Q and Boss Xu from the class next door came to find them.
Looking at Fu Chenxi, Little Q asked quizzically, "Hey, this
• ii
Fu Chenxi's body tightened as she looked at him nervously.
Lu Beichen said, "Didn't you see her this morning? She is Fu Chenxi, my girlfriend."
Little Q then understood. So this was his girlfriend.
He did not see her before. Of course, he wouldn't recognize her.
Especially with such a beauty like Gu Jingyan beside him, how would he know that Lu Beichen would actually take a liking to an ordinary girl.
He smiled awkwardly. "Oh, oh. Hello hello."
It was too embarrassing to say that he only paid attention to the two arguing and did not notice Fu Chenxi in the morning.
Furthermore, Fu Chenxi didn't have any presence at all. Who would have noticed a meek girl beside a flamboyant Lu Beichen? Fu Chenxi's face was stiffen She smiled and did not say anything. She followed obediently beside Lu Beichen.
However, she naturally knew what he meant.
Nobody noticed her in the morning.
But it didn't matter. Wasn't it enough that Lu Beichen liked her?
Fu Chenxi told herself in her heart.
The group left together and walked towards the canteen with a blazing trail, attracting countless gazes.
