Fu Chenxi looked at her and asked shyly, “I… Do I really have to go? I’m a little worried…”
What are you worried about? Just take it that you’re going for fun . ”
“Are you going?” Fu Chenxi looked at Gu Jingyan .
Gu Jingyan said, “I don’t want to . I think my family was invited, but they didn’t state that it’s a must for us to go . I have more class on that day . You guys should go have fun . I won’t disturb you guys . ”
Fu Chenxi felt happy .
She actually felt that it was even better if Gu Jingyan did not go .
Because she always felt that when Gu Jingyan was around, she seemed to never have room to talk .
She wouldn’t even be noticed if she stood there because all the attention would always be captured by Gu Jingyan .
That was the Lu family’s banquet and she was going over as Lu Beichen’s girlfriend . Perhaps there would be some difference somehow .
Just as Gu Jingyan finished speaking, Boss Xu objected .
“Don’t be like that . What’s the point of us going if you’re not? Come on . Don’t care whose party it is . Let’s all go and have fun . ”
“But I really have extra class . ”
“You’re already excelling in your studies . Why do you still have extra class?”
Gu Jingyan said, “That’s different . I have higher expectations for myself . There’s a math competition during the school holidays next month and I’m preparing to take part in it . ”
“Tch . ”
“Sigh . So scary . The top student is so hardworking . ”
“What’s the point of us working hard, then?”
“Exactly . Nevermind, it’s her loss . We’ll attend the banquet ourselves . ”
Fu Chenxi heaved a sigh of relief . Somehow, she felt that she would be very happy if Gu Jingyan wasn’t going .
Was she being good or bad?
But she couldn’t help feeling that way .
She followed Gu Jingyan back to her house .
It was in the afternoon and it was busy in the house . Gu Jingyan instructed the attendants not to come over .
Fu Chenxi watched the line of attendants file out . She said to Gu Jingyan, “You have so many maids… I think you’re really like a princess . ”
Gu Jingyan looked and said, “If you really have this many maids, you’ll know how annoying it is . They meddle in every single thing . They even want to follow you to the bathroom to check on your stools and see if you’re healthy or not . ”
Fu Chenxi said, “That’s because they care about you . They’re dedicated . ”
“Sigh . Anyway, it’s very troublesome sometimes . Let’s not talk about this . Let’s go look at the clothes . ”
Gu Jingyan did not like complaining too much to others . They wouldn’t get it anyway .
She had been under these eyes for too long . Sometimes, she felt that she didn’t have any privacy at all .
However, she was not hypocritical . Sometimes, being looked after had its benefits . For example, she never had to tidy her room . She was actually rather lazy, so with the maids helping, she didn’t have to bother with it herself .
They quickly entered Gu Jingyan’s cloakroom .
It was a huge room with rows and rows of the latest clothes from this year .
There were all kinds of styles . The brands were also all major international brands .
Gu Jingyan scanned across and looked for things that would suit Fu Chenxi .
Fu Chenxi said, “You have so many clothes . ”
Gu Jingyan said, “Yes . Sometimes when new products are released every season, these brands would send a few sets over to us . Brands love to get these socialites to help promote them . It’s like if a great socialite wears the clothes, it will elevate the brand to a higher status . But they really make a loss every time they give me clothes because I rarely attend these events, unlike other socialites . They are really impressive, like Lu Beichen’s sister . I’m not sure if you’ve met her, but she’s the capital’s top socialite . ”
“Ah, really… I’ve never heard that from Lu Beichen . ”
“She’s not much younger than us, but she’s more fond of these . She doesn’t attend normal high school like us either . She’s in an international school, so she doesn’t interact much with us . ”
Fu Chenxi looked at her . “I feel like I don’t know Lu Beichen as well as you do…”
Gu Jingyan smiled . “You will . It’s just a matter of time . ”
Fu Chenxi really felt that she did not know as much as Gu Jingyan .
Furthermore, they usually had more to talk about . When Fu Chenxi was with Lu Beichen, they didn’t talk as much . He didn’t like talking about himself either .
For example, she didn’t even know that Lu Beichen had a sister until today .
Gu Jingyan picked out some clothes for Fu Chenxi .
Every piece looked good on her .
Fu Chenxi really felt that these high fashion clothes looked so good when worn .
Gu Jingyan had better taste than Lu Beichen . Thus, the clothes she chose for Fu Chenxi suited her better than the ones Lu Beichen helped her pick out before .
Gu Jingyan was very satisfied . She took a few sets and said, “Take these back . You can take your pick . ”
“Ah, you’re giving all these to me?”
“Yeah . I won’t wear them anyway and if they’re kept in the house for too long, the caretaker would give them away . I’d rather give them to someone I know . ”
Fu Chenxi looked gratefully at her, holding onto the clothes like treasure .
She really envied Gu Jingyan . The clothes that she could only dream of having were like bargained goods here .
Fu Chenxi said, “Thank you, Jingyan . ”
“Don’t mention it . You didn’t get to celebrate your birthday because of me that day . I’m making up for it . ”
“There’s really no need to…” Fu Chenxi felt a little bad that she even said this on purpose . “It’s only right that we came to your rescue . We’re your friends . ”
Gu Jingyan smiled . “Yes, we are friends . ”
That day arrived quickly . Sure enough, Gu Jingyan went for her extra class while Fu Chenxi went to the Lu family’s banquet .
Gu Jingyan’s extra class was actually in the day while the banquet only started at night . But Gu Jingyan did not want to go . She did not really like attending these events . She’d rather stay at home to read .
However, just as class started, Boss Xu called her .
“Jingyan, it’s so lonely without you . ”
“Go to hell . ”
“Jingyan, I’m serious . Come over . If you don’t come, there’s nothing much for us to talk with Beichen . ”
“Please . Am I really that useful?”
“Of course . You guys would always bicker and it’s fun for us . But now, you’re not around and Lu Beichen is so much quieter . Fu Chenxi also has nothing in common with us to talk about . Little Q and I are too lonely here . ”
Did she normally have so much to talk about with Lu Beichen?
Gu Jingyan did not feel that way . But hearing him say that, she recalled that they did bicker more easily . Perhaps it was because Lu Beichen’s mouth was too shrewd and he always poked fun at her . She would inevitably bite back, so of course, they would bicker .
Gu Jingyan said, “Alright alright . I’m in class . ”
She hung up . Boss Xu looked at Little Q . “She likes studying too much . She’s not coming . ”
“That won’t do . Let’s go find her . ”
“Alright then . ”
The two of them drove off to the tuition center .
They stood unabashedly at the door, whistling to Gu Jingyan who was inside .
