Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Cute Childhood Sweetheart VS Beautiful New Love (Part 9)

When they reached the school gates, Gu Shengyin suddenly stopped walking and said very seriously to Huang Anyuan, “Brother An Yuan, if I can make it all the way to the finals in the Imperial Capital, it will take more than half a month. You have to miss me every day, and you’re not allowed to like any other girls.”

Huang Anyuan couldn’t help but laugh. Shengyin hadn’t ever said such a thing when they were apart for a few days before. Previously, she was always full of confidence in their relationship, so why did she suddenly feel insecure this time?

Still, he thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being missed and relied upon by his girlfriend.

He reached out and ruffled Gu Shengyin’s hair gently, smiling as he said, “I know, don’t worry, little jealous jar.”

Gu Shengyin just smiled without speaking. That was all she could do, to warn and remind him as much as possible. Yet according to the consistent style of the plot, Huang Anyuan would most likely still meet Qing Luochen and start to develop an unusual relationship.

High school days were intense yet mundane, and soon it was time for Gu Shengyin to leave for the Imperial Capital.

Lincheng City Third Middle School sent not just Shengyin as a representative this time, but three others as well, a senior from the second year and two from the third year.

Shengyin was the only first-year student among them, the youngest, yet she held the greatest hopes out of all four.

Being petite, well-behaved, and endearingly soft, she was well taken care of by the other three.

However, when she got on the school-arranged bus, Gu Shengyin unexpectedly saw Lu Yu.

Sitting with him were several students from No.1 Middle School, who were presumably also going to compete in the Imperial Capital for Lincheng City First High School.

It turned out that both schools were from the same city and would form a small group upon arrival in the Imperial Capital. The principals of the two schools talked it over and decided it would be better to put these students together to foster some rapport in advance.

In reality, however, the students from both schools were very much strangers to one another, sitting distinctly on either side of the bus, only interacting with their schoolmates.

The teachers leading the teams were also helpless; they couldn’t force the students to make friends, could they?

Gu Shengyin sat by the window, holding her water bottle and taking sips.

Little did she know, her actions had attracted the attention of nearly everyone on the bus.

A cute-looking girl holding a hamster-shaped water bottle and sipping slowly looked just like a big hamster holding a little hamster.

How could there be a girl this adorable!

A student from Lincheng City First High School snorted with suppressed laughter.

Gu Shengyin, somewhat puzzled, looked around and found that most of the people on the bus were watching her.

She blinked in confusion and touched her face to check for anything amiss, but found nothing unusual. What were they all looking at?

Her response drew smiles from many people again. Even Lu Yu, mustered a faint, shallow smile.

He didn’t see Gu Shengyin gazing at him with wide eyes as if she had seen something incredible, “You’re actually smiling!”

After saying that, she realized what she just blurted out and her face suddenly turned bright red. She held the water bottle in front of her face, trying to hide it as if she was just looking at the scenery.

“Pfft, hahaha…” Even the teacher leading the team started to laugh.

The previous awkward atmosphere in the bus disappeared in an instant.

Even a student from Lincheng City First High School joked, “It seems our Top Student Lu is quite popular. He’s even got a reputation at Third High School.”
