Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Cute Childhood Sweetheart VS Gorgeous New Love (Part 4)

Chang Xuan had the delicate and petite kind of beauty–a fifteen-year-old girl who looked closer to thirteen or fourteen.

Being looked at with such innocent eyes, the other girl felt she had been too harsh with her words before.

She cleared her throat somewhat embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, just now I was a bit upset because our school wasn’t playing well.”

Her straightforward apology actually made Gu Shengyin’s impression of her quite a bit better.

She smiled sweetly, “It’s okay, you just wanted our school to win, I understand.”

That smile kind of dazzled the girl opposite her.

The girl thought that Chang Xuan was so adorable and soft that she probably wouldn’t know how to fight back if she was bullied.

She looked at Huang Anyuan on the court with a hint of envy. Having such a cute and obedient girl as a girlfriend, that kid Huang Anyuan was really lucky.

She said generously, “My name is Gu Shili, I’m a junior at the high school. Chang Xuan, I really like you. From now on in Lincheng City Third Middle School, I’ve got your back! If anyone dares to bully you, just drop my name, Gu Shili.”

Gu Shengyin: …What’s with this weird development?

She observed the girl in front of her: tall, with fair skin and good-looking features. But her hair, which would normally be lovely, was cut very short and dyed red, and she had earrings in her ears.

Gu Shengyin noticed at a glance that those earrings were real diamonds, suggesting that this girl named Gu Shili likely came from a well-off family.

However, her outfit… Although Gu Shengyin personally thought it was rather cool, in the famously strict Lincheng City Third Middle School, it would definitely be considered quirky.

Gu Shili, seeing the small girl in front of her sizing her up, knew that a well-behaved, top student like Gu Shengyin usually wouldn’t approve of a “bad student” like herself, so she awaited her reaction with a raised eyebrow.

To her surprise, there was no trace of disdain or odd emotion in the clear eyes of the girl in front of her. On the contrary, those eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

“You’re not afraid of me?” she asked, puzzled.

Gu Shengyin blinked, puzzled, “Why should I be afraid of you?”

Gu Shili pointed to herself, “My look screams disobedient bad student, don’t you guys usually dislike that?”

Gu Shengyin revealed a smile, “Whether someone is a bad student cannot be determined by their looks, but by the things they do. Besides, in my opinion, you look quite cool in that outfit.”

“Though, if you took off your watch and swapped it for a punk bracelet, that would be perfect,” Gu Shengyin also offered a suggestion based on her knowledge.

Gu Shili brightened upon hearing this, never expecting that Chang Xuan, whose reputation she’d only heard of but never truly encountered at school, would bring such a pleasant surprise.

It wasn’t just a personality that matched her tastes, but even a shared aesthetic…

“You know about punk?”

Without delay, she started a lively discussion with Gu Shengyin on the side.

Since Gu Shengyin had no interest in the basketball game and thought Gu Shili was a decent person, she chatted along with her.

Of course, most of the time, it was Gu Shili talking while Gu Shengyin sat quietly and listened.

It wasn’t until Huang Anyuan returned to their side of the stands with a dejected look from losing the game, that he realized his girlfriend, who would always be the first to bring him a drink and a towel, was nowhere to be seen.
