"What did you say?" Ling Yuanzhou stared at Gu Zhiqi, eyes wide with disbelief.
Although both were children of the Sea City’s Five Great Families, Ling Yuanzhou and Gu Zhiqi were not acquainted two years ago and had never even t.
Until two years ago, when Gu Zhiqi attended the sa high school as him and began appearing frequently in front of him.
During these two years, Gu Zhiqi often made her presence known in front of him, always putting on a gentle and kind facade.
She always affectionately called him Brother Zhou and considered herself his fiancée, not allowing any other females to get close to him.
But in recent etings, he discovered she had changed; the eyes that once looked at him with admiration and gentleness had beco deep and unreadable.
Her deanor had also beco indifferent, and she no longer greeted him actively, as if she couldn’t be bothered to spare him a glance.
At first, he didn’t think much of it, assuming it was just Gu Zhiqi’s ploy to get his attention, just as Mo Weiran had ntioned before, this was a case of playing hard to get.
But now, he realized she seed serious.
If she were simply trying to get his attention, she wouldn’t have beaten him like this, nor would she say sothing that would damage her reputation.
For so reason, the thought made Ling Yuanzhou uncomfortable for a mont.
Gu Zhiqi’s drastic change in attitude towards him also made Ling Yuanzhou find it hard to believe.
Seeing Ling Yuanzhou’s stunned expression, Gu Zhiqi didn’t mind much, her lips curved into a lazy smile as she looked at him and said, "Get lost, and stop saying those self-important things to , or you’ll get another beating."
After saying this lightly, Gu Zhiqi walked past Ling Yuanzhou and headed into the classroom without looking back.
Ling Yuanzhou was montarily dazzled by Gu Zhiqi’s indifferent smile, and when he regained his senses, he saw she had already entered the classroom. "Gu Zhiqi, stop right there! You haven’t explained about the injuries on ..."
Seeing Gu Zhiqi enter the classroom, Ling Yuanzhou imdiately called after her, but before he could finish, he was interrupted.
"Young Master Ling, what brings you to our class eight?"
A cool yet sowhat nonchalant voice sounded from behind, causing Ling Yuanzhou to montarily stiffen.
Without turning around, Ling Yuanzhou already knew who it was.
Ling Yuanzhou, a child of the Ling Family—one of the Sea City’s Five Great Families, hailed from an Ancient dical Family, and his talent in dical skills was the best in his generation.
This talent made him stand out among his peers, becoming the exemplary child others spoke of, which was also a source of his pride.
From a young age, Ling Yuanzhou had been surrounded by praise, both at ho and at school.
But one day, two boys of equal fa to him appeared at Sea City No.1 Middle School, one being Lu Xingzhe and the other Song Zihuai, both having similar backgrounds, good looks, and excellent grades.
However, Song Zihuai ca from a second-rate family, so Ling Yuanzhou never saw him as a threat.
Moreover, seeing Song Zihuai willingly be a backup for Gu Zhiqi while she pursued him only filled Ling Yuanzhou with disdain, never regarding Song Zihuai seriously.
But Lu Xingzhe was different. Coming from Sea City’s most prestigious Lu Family, he was their favored son, with almost no bad reputation except for a bad temper, and was highly valued by his family.
Every ti people dealt with him, they would inevitably ntion Lu Xingzhe.
