Chapter 369: Envy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Gu Xiao did not know what the people on the school forum had said, after listening to Jiang Meng and Wei Shu’s retelling, she could imagine how many unpleasant words those people had said.

There were always some people in this world who, because of jealousy or envy, would make random guesses and pour their malice on others.

There were too many such people. Even if anyone wanted to resist, such people would still appear continuously.

To deal with such people, using facts to slap their faces was the best lesson.

The corners of Gu Xiao’s lips curled up slightly, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make those people shut up in the future.” There was certainty in her words, as if she had already confirmed the outcome.

When Jiang Meng and Wei Shu heard Gu Xiao’s words, their eyes lit up with a hint of admiration.

This Gu Xiao was really too handsome! Even if they really had to like the same person as those people online said.

Then why would they not like the gentle and handsome Gu Xiao, but rather choose the cold and unsmiling Chu An?

Those people on the Internet really did not understand them!

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu looked at Gu Xiao and said in unison, “Yes! We both believe you, Xiaoxiao! What you said must be true!”

Gu Xiao met the gazes of admiration and unconditional trust from the two girls, and a trace of helplessness flashed across her eyes.

Seeing how innocent these two young ladies were, she was a little worried that these two young ladies would be bullied when they entered society.

She had never had a good friend of the same age in her two lives. She did not expect to meet friends of the “same age” in her third life. It could be said that the heavens had treated her well.

With Jiang Meng and Wei Shu, her mentality seemed to have become much younger.

Jiang Meng and Wei Shu had told Gu Xiao about the news on the school forum. During a time when Gu Xiao and Chu An were alone, Gu Xiao told him about this matter in a joking tone.

At that moment, she and Chu An were in their apartment outside the school. The two of them were sitting extremely close to each other on the sofa.

Chu An hugged Gu Xiao’s waist with one arm and held a book related to Weapon Systems and Engineering with the other. His gaze fell on the book, and he looked very serious.

After a long time, seeing that Chu An had put down his book and was planning to rest for a while before continuing, Gu Xiao said in a tone as if she was watching a good show, “Do you know that many people in the school are guessing why you want to change majors?”

When Chu An heard this, the hand that was rubbing his nose paused, but he quickly recovered.

He eased the fatigue in his eyes. After feeling that his eyes were not so dry, he let go and looked sideways at Gu Xiao.

“I’ve heard about this.”

Upon hearing Chu An’s answer, Gu Xiao was shocked for a moment.

After all, she also knew that unless necessary, Chu An, like her, didn’t like to pay attention to news online. He had only used the school forum before school started to better understand the situation at A University.

“Who told you?” Gu Xiao voiced out her guess.

Chu An nodded and raised his hand to rub his temples. A hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.

“It was Mo Nan and the others who told me about this.”

Thinking of how Mo Nan and the other two had been so noisy when they told him about this, he could not help but have a headache.

In his previous life, even if his friends were young, most of them were steady and dignified. Even if there were lively ones, they were still within his acceptable range.

But to him, Mo Nan and the other two were really too lively, and it was a little unbearable for him.

However, he also knew that Mo Nan and the other two did not have any bad intentions, so he could only turn a blind eye to their noisy temperaments.

Not to mention that the three of them were doing this for his own good.

Seeing that Chu An already knew about this, Gu Xiao felt a little bored.

She had wanted to see Chu An’s expression when he found out about this, but it seemed impossible now.

“So what are you going to do?”

Gu Xiao leaned back slightly. Chu An exerted force, and she fell into Chu An’s arms.

Chu An rested his chin on the top of Gu Xiao’s head and exhaled in satisfaction.

“I don’t have any plans for now,” Chu An said indifferently..
