“Lu Guixin, you addressed me as your future boyfriend when you were wooing me, but now that you’re angry, you’re asking me to go die?” “Why not?” Lu Guixin blandly answered.

“It’s not like you’re the only guy in the world.” Zhou Fu narrowed his eyes and stared at her calm and indifferent face before smirking a couple of seconds later.

“I’m not the only guy, huh?

You get to whatever you want, and that includes Tan Ying waiting on you when you eat, him opening the car door for you, and him going to a hotel with you.” She said she understood and that she’d keep her distance from Tan Ying when I asked her to be careful and not cause trouble for herself.

How is this keeping her distance?

Zhou Fu glared at her.

“Why did you get into the car and hotel on your own?

You should’ve gotten Tan Ying to carry you in.

He shouldn’t tire his princess, no?” When Lu Guixin heard that, she lifted her head to look at him.

She broke into a chuckle after that, her eyes forming crescents.

All of a sudden, she went back into her obedient persona.

With her aloofness faded, she became so gentle and docile that it seemed unreal.

She asked him softly, “Do you mind it a lot?” Zhou Fu didn’t say anything, but his expression was dark.

“But…” Lu Guixin slowly continued.

“What does it have to do with you?” “What does it have to do with me?” Zhou Fu gritted.

“Lu Guixin, weren’t you the one who said you wanted to woo me?

Doesn’t that concern me, then?” “This is what you said to me.” Lu Guixin smiled.

“There’s nothing between us.” Zhou Fu had initially suspected that she was angry because of something he had said, but he was certain of it now.

However, just as he was about to explain, she tilted her head and said, “You only mean something when I’m interested in you.” Zhou Fu’s eyes dimmed as he gazed at her, and the words that came to his lips disappeared.

His voice was low and deep as he asked, “So you weren’t being serious when you approached me and wooed me?

Was it a game to you?

So it was just an act the entire time?” “Does that matter?” Lu Guixin nonchalantly asked.

Zhou Fu quietly waited for her answer.

The silence stretched as they stared at each other.

“Yes.” Lu Guixin nodded and perfunctorily answered, “It was a game as well as an act.

Are you satisfied now?

If you are, then move aside.” The words felt like a blow to Zhou Fu.

His breathing stopped as he looked into her cold eyes furiously.

He kept his temper in check as he slowly said, “No.

I don’t believe it, either.

Lu Guixin, I’m not so free to act and play with you.” Lu Guixin took her hands out of her pockets and straightened her legs as she met his gaze with irritation.

“Get out of the way.” “I’m serious about you,” said Zhou Fu stiffly while feeling angry and complicated.

I wasn’t the one who pestered her.

She was the one who kept appearing in front of me.

She made me—someone who didn’t care about the future—start planning it.

Zhou Fu took a deep breath, and he seemed calmer when he spoke again, albeit his tone was still a bit harsh.

“Can’t you stop and think about what happened in the morning?” “Think, my *ss!” As soon as she said that, a fist came flying toward Zhou Fu’s face.

He swiftly blocked it with his hand.

After nearly getting kicked by her, he dared not to underestimate her and, thus, used his full force to grab her wrist.

Lu Guixin tried to remove her hand, but she couldn’t break free in one go because his grip on her was too strong.

Hence, she swung her left arm towards his neck.

Unfortunately, she was stopped once again just as her fist was about to reach his neck.

The next second, she was spun around with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

Her back bumped into Zhou Fu’s chest, sticking closely to it.

She could feel his body heat even through the clothes, and she was trapped in his embrace.

She reacted immediately and kicked her leg up towards his head.

While hugging her, Zhou Fu turned around and took a step back to reflect her attack.

Lu Guixin’s vision blurred.

The next second, she was trapped in between the metal door and Zhou Fu.

She struggled to break free, but his grip remained tight on her, and his hands wouldn’t budge.

She frowned and turned to glare at him.

“My mother died when I was nine,” said Zhou Fu all of a sudden in a deep and complicated voice.

Even though he hid his emotions, it was like a thick black mist that wouldn’t go away, and it felt suffocating.

Lu Guixin stopped struggling, her long dark eyelashes fluttering slightly.

She opened her lips as if she wanted to apologize, but she decided against saying anything in the end.

It was quiet and tense, and all that could be heard were the sounds of their breaths.

After a while, Lu Guixin could feel his chest heave behind her.

Zhou Fu’s attitude softened as he calmed down.

“Things were so chaotic online, and it was only a matter of time before the entire school knew about it.

If you run around, you’ll hear a lot of nasty things.

There are more people who want to see you become the butt of the joke than people who use their brains.” Although he could delete the posts and comments on the school forum, he couldn’t stop people from gossiping.

He was explaining what he said back then: ‘There’s nothing between us, so why did you come all the way to give me an explanation?’ He had said that partly out of pique and because he didn’t want her to run around.

He didn’t like seeing her together with Tan Ying, but whatever happened with Tan Ying had nothing to do with him, and she was all he cared about.

“I knew that there was nothing between you and Tan Ying,” Zhou Fu continued.

“So there wasn’t a need for you to explain things to me.” He started explaining the things he said from the moment she acted differently around him.

“You were acting oddly when you beat Xia Cheng up.

There were many people secretly taking videos of you from the classrooms.

If the public put pressure on the school, the school would take the matter seriously, and you’d be given a severe punishment.

Given how advanced the internet is nowadays, even the smallest matters are magnified infinitely.

You’ll still have to attend school, so you won’t be able to avoid criticism and gossip.” Zhou Fu paused for a few seconds before saying with much difficulty, “I was worried about you.

I was worried this whole thign would blow up.” The last sentence was spoken rather stiffly—he wasn’t good at saying such things.

He could handle all sorts of consequences.

They could transfer to another school if she didn’t want to stay in Ming City High School, but it couldn’t be because she was expelled for beating a student up and was being cyber-bullied.

“Was my explanation clear enough?” Zhou Fu asked carefully as he looked into her eyes with bated breath.

This was the first time he had spoken so much all at once.

Having been alone for such a long time, he had almost forgotten how to express his emotions.

All he knew how to do was numbly move forward.

It was only after meeting Lu Guixin that he had his emotional ups and downs.

“Are you done speaking?” Lu Guixin remained calm as ever.

“Let me go if you are.” From her indifferent expression, it seemed that whatever he did was useless.

“If you’re still mad at me after hearing my explanation, you can hit me until you’re appeased.” “I’m not interested.” She wriggled her wrists.

“Let go.” “Then what about the wish you wanted me to fulfill?” Zhou Fu pressed on as he looked at the side of her face.
