Chapter 40: Xu Xiao's Gossip
"Yu Liang, do you know? I just found out a major secret." Qiao An Yu Liang was lost in thought when Gu Si Xian rushed back into the classroom from the bathroom, her face still showing a hint of anxiety.
"You just went to the bathroom and you've already dug up gossip news?" Qiao Anyu was amazed at Gu Sichen's efficiency.
"Listen to me first. I just saw a show at the toilet door. Two girls were quarreling and almost fought. I asked around, and it turned out that they were fighting over... 001." Gu Siqi said in a low voice.
"Who is 001?" Qiao Anyu had completely forgotten those code names.
Gu Siqi didn't have time to argue with her, pointing at Xu Xiao's back and continuing: "One of the girls is Lei Xiao, who sat in front of 001, and the other girl is from another class. It's said that on Lei Xiao's birthday, she invited a group of good friends, including 001, but 001 didn't attend. That night, when Lei Xiao and her friends were walking home, they saw 001 with another girl, which made Lei Xiao resentful. Today, the two met outside the bathroom, and it's likely that the other girl also knew about Lei Xiao inviting 001 to her birthday party. The two girls had a grudge against each other, and their eyes turned red when they saw each other. Lei Xiao deliberately let the other girl bump into her, and they found an excuse to start arguing, but in reality, it was all because of 001." She explained the whole situation in one breath.
Lei Xiao sat in front of Xu Xiao's desk, although his name sounded feminine, but he had a bold personality, often skipping school and defying teachers last semester. However, since the seat arrangement changed to be in front of Xu Xiao, Lei Xiao never skipped school again, nor did they seem to have much interaction, so how did Lei Xiao end up liking Xu Xiao? But then again, Xu Xiao was a "heartthrob" after all, it's also quite strange.
Qiao An Yu Liang asked: "Does that girl have two dimples when she smiles?"
Gu Siqi tapped her forehead: "You're silly, the two of them are quarreling, how could they see her smile? However, when she puckered up, there really was a dimple. Do you know her?"
"I heard she's Xu Xiao's childhood friend, they grew up together. I think her name is Yu Qingrong, and like Lei Xiao, she doesn't like reading books." Qiao Anyu searched through the meager amount of gossip in her mind, and finally knew someone that Gu Sichen didn't know, she couldn't help but feel a little proud of herself.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Gu Siqi excitedly grabbed her arm, her long-untrimmed fingernails digging into her flesh, causing a sharp pain.
"Easy, easy. Don't be so startled. Who doesn't have a childhood sweetheart, but that doesn't mean they can end up together." Qiao Anyu gently pried open Gu Sichen's claw-like hand and blew softly on the mark left by his grasp.
Gu Siqi muttered to herself: "Green plums and bamboo horses, green plums and bamboo horses..."
"Xiang, are you okay? Don't be possessed by the devil." Qiao Anyu felt a bit worried seeing her muttering to herself.
"Do I really like 001?" Su Si suddenly asked.
"How could you not understand? Don't you know your own heart?" Qiao Anyu was at a loss, and she herself didn't know whether she liked it or not. She was even more unclear about whether Gu Sichen really liked Xu Xiao.
"Why don't I feel sour at all?"
"Maybe it's because eating vinegar is useless, so it's better to arm yourself, enrich yourself, make yourself stronger, and let your love rivals surrender. Qiao Anyu suddenly thought of Du Jing, would she just be her own imaginary enemy?"
"What you said is absolutely right!" Gu Siqi heard this and her worried expression disappeared, she excitedly grabbed Qiao Anyu's arm again, her fingernails digging into her skin once more. Ah, it hurts so good!
"Akane, your fingernails need to be trimmed."
