Chapter 781: Yan Jingen, Let Go

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yan Jingen did not expect Gu Zhinan to have such a relationship with Chu Sihan.

“We’ll get going first. You handle the rest.”

After speaking to Gu Zhinan, Chu Sihan pulled Lu Sheng back to the classroom.

Principal Gu coughed lightly and said to them, “I still have some matters to attend to. I’ll go out for a while. Go back to the classroom early. Remember to close the door after you leave.”

Then, Principal Gu left.

Instantly, only Gu Zhinan and the rest were left in the room.

“Zhinan, I…”

Yan Jingen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Zhinan. “Yan Jingen, we have nothing to do with each other. Junior won’t bicker with you about what happened today, but I’ll remember it.”

“In the future, don’t do anything to hurt others in my name. Otherwise, I won’t let it go just because you’re a girl.”

“Also, I have nothing to do with you and have never expressed anything to you. There’s nothing between us. I hope you can stay away from me and the people around me in the future.”

Gu Zhinan became angry. His usual gentleness was gone and was replaced by a chill.

It was everyone’s first time seeing Gu Zhinan lose his temper. Even Guan Xinxin was shocked.

Gu Zhinan looked at her and said apologetically, “Junior, I’m sorry. My actions caused you trouble.”

“It’s nothing.” Guan Xinxin shook her head.

“Your face…”

Gu Zhinan stared at the blood on it and frowned.

“It’s not serious anymore,” Guan Xinxin said lightly. “Senior, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the classroom first.”

“Okay.”

Gu Zhinan nodded slightly and watched her leave the office.

When he first saw Guan Xinxin, she was at the entrance of the library.

At that time, she was wearing a blue dress and holding a novel in her hand. There was a faint smile on her clean and fair face. She walked towards him in the breeze and brushed past him.

He suddenly remembered a line from the poem ‘Recruitment’: A clear breeze will blow you away.

Her fluttering skirt seemed to brush past his beating heart, causing it to beat erratically.

That was the first time he had feelings for a girl.

From then on, he often appeared in the library just to see her.

Yan Jingen’s face was a little pale and her heart felt heavy.

She had liked Gu Zhinan since she could remember and had always wanted to be his bride.

No one knew more than her what Gu Zhinan’s look at Guan Xinxin meant.

It was a gaze of admiration. Gu Zhinan should like that girl called Guan Xinxin a lot, right?

Just like how she liked Gu Zhinan a lot.

Her mother was right. A forced melon would not be sweet. Gu Zhinan did not like her. No matter how she tried to please him, he would not like her.

“Sorry, Gu Zhinan. It won’t happen again!”

She did not give up on Gu Zhinan. She just wanted to let herself off.

Let this liking be buried deep in her heart.

Gu Zhinan looked back at her deeply and said lightly, “I hope this won’t happen again.”

Then, he left.

“Jingen, you’re letting Guan Xinxin go just like that?” Bei Yingying spoke reluctantly.

Yan Jingen looked at her calmly and sneered. “Bei Yingying, do you think you hid your thoughts well?”

“What… what do you mean?” Bei Yingying did not quite understand what she meant.

“You came to me and said a bunch of bad things about Guan Xinxin. Didn’t you want my permission to teach Guan Xinxin a lesson with a clear conscience?”
