Her brother loses all sense the mont he ets Lan Yazhen, behaving like a mad dog. Who’d be willing to get bitten like that?
System 666: [Seriously, Host, you’re wise and mighty. Whatever you say makes sense.]
It needed to make ands to avoid being torn apart by the Host’s anger.
While Gu Jingkui was still deep in thought, Qiann Yan had already left. She needed to prepare materials for tomorrow’s eting.
Things weren’t too busy at the mont, so she didn’t have to look at her university textbooks. Her grades in last sester’s finals were quite good.
Gu Jingkui forgot all about being angry at Qiann Yan and went to find Lan Yazhen.
Lan Yazhen, fuming, stuffed everything into a box and handed it to Gu Jingkui, expressing that she didn’t know the items were expensive, so she couldn’t accept them.
"Yazhen, these are just little trinkets I gave you. Since I gave them to you, just keep them. I won’t give you anything else in the future."
"I don’t want them."
Seeing that Lan Yazhen genuinely didn’t want them, Gu Jingkui felt troubled. There’s no reason to take back a gift once given away.
"I’m not taking them back." Lan Yazhen forcefully handed the box back to Gu Jingkui, showing she wouldn’t accept it.
Gu Jingkui sighed, "Alright then, I just wanted to make you happy. Since these made you unhappy, I’ll have soone take care of them. I won’t give you such things again."
He casually placed the box in the car, realizing he hadn’t considered Yazhen’s feelings enough before.
Lan Yazhen was stunned, never expecting him to actually take the items back.
"Yazhen, let take you for so milk tea," Gu Jingkui said, "I’ll respect your wishes and won’t force anything on you or cause you trouble."
Lan Yazhen, pushed into the car, was still a bit stunned, feeling a little flustered.
Why was she flustered? She didn’t know either.
"Are you still planning to study at Tenglann High School, Yazhen?"
Lan Yazhen clenched her fists, afraid, speaking softly, "Brother Gu, why did you secretly pay my tuition? This really makes feel..."
"Yazhen, I know I’ve caused you trouble. I was too presumptuous, always making decisions on my own, never respecting you."
"Tenglann High’s tuition can’t be refunded, and it’s already halfway through the sester, so just keep studying there for now," Gu Jingkui said. "If you really can’t get over it, just think of it as a debt to , and pay it back later."
"Brother Gu, I don’t want people to look down on , saying I love your money... I..." Lan Yazhen hesitated to say, and before she could finish, Gu Jingkui spoke up.
"I’m the one who’s made things difficult for you. If you’re unwilling, then forget it. I’ll help you find a regular high school, is that okay? You said we’re friends; it’s only natural to help out a little between friends..."
Lan Yazhen was shocked, and if Gu Jingkui turned around, he’d surely see her incredulous expression.
She clenched her fists, biting her lip. How could things end up like this??
Lan Yazhen felt dizzy, unable to say what was on her mind. She couldn’t possibly say she wanted to stay at Tenglann High School, right?
She wasn’t that kind of person.
"Yazhen, what’s wrong? If you’re unwilling, then forget it. I believe with your excellence, you’ll get into a good university," Gu Jingkui said with regret. "Yazhen, let at least help you with this. I promise I won’t do anything else. How about you pay the tuition yourself?"
Lan Yazhen felt her heart sink to the bottom, forcing a smile and replying with difficulty, "Okay."
Gu Jingkui often appeared near Lan Yazhen, but rarely spent money. She felt uneasy, unable to say a word.
She noticed Gu Jingkui had changed a lot, not like the Brother Gu she used to know.
