[Dig! Wu Hongwen was saved! 10 Points appreciated!]
When he heard the system notification, Gu Xiqiao began to slow down. This Master's status was quite useful, and he felt like he could break a tree with a single swing of his fist. “Can you save this status for me? I might be able to earn some quick money by performing on the streets, or something like that. “
[Permanent status sold in Level 3 system stores.]
“How many points do I need?” Gu Xiqiao was quite curious. If he could even buy such a fraudulent status, wouldn't the system be too overpowered?
The sound of the spirit system suddenly became serious.[2000 points, but I do not recommend you buy it. Beauty Qiao, you can train yourself in the virtual space to achieve Master status. This is not a good way to take shortcuts like this.]
[Dig! The System has detected that Wu Hongwen's affection towards you is thirty-five points, do you want to add it to your friend list?]
“Ngak.” Gu Xiqiao quickly refused without hesitation. “It's okay, I'm just curious. I don't want powers that I didn't gain through my efforts, so I'll look for martial arts scrolls later. “
If he had learned many abilities in his previous life, he would not have been so passive and allowed tragedy to befall him.
“Thank you, what's your name?” Wu Hongwen saw that Gu Xiqiao was going to leave and regained his senses, reaching out to stop him from leaving.
Gu Xiqiao who was in Master mode was more agile and had better reflexes, so he avoided it easily.
“After all it's not in your interest.”
We Hongwen did not believe him so much and scratched the back of his head with a slight hue on his face. He was still panting heavily from his previous run, and his pale complexion was covered with a delicate gleam of sweat while his short-sleeved uniform was drenched. His eyes seemed to contain the star itself — dark-colored yet brightly glowing.
He saved her while everyone was running away at the first chance they had, and no matter the reason, he was the one to defend her when no one else did. This was something he would not soon forget. You're a good man.
“Then, you really think too much.” Gu Xiqiao thought, not even wanting to talk to him anymore as he continued to look around.
Are there no taxis around this time?
Wu Hongwen suddenly stopped in his steps as a flash of recognition flashed across his mind as he looked at the slender silhouette in front of him, his face flushed brightly. “I remember, you are Gu Xiqiao, right? Even you..”
Before he met Gu Xiqiao, his only reaction to these three words was undoubtedly…
It's disgusting!
But at this point, Wu Hongwen did not know how to react.
She had a deep impression of the love letter sent by the prettiest girl in class a while back. The letter that had been written on a piece of pink paper and carefully folded into a heart was snatched away by one of his classmates, and its contents were read aloud for everyone to hear. She became a laughingstock in class for an entire week, and it caused her to become fed up when she heard the words ‘Gu Xiqiao’.
In order for a girl's love letter to be read aloud and become the joke material of the entire school, how much influence will it have on a girl in her teens? He didn't know, but if it was him, he wouldn't be able to accept it.
Thinking of this, Wu Hongwen was stunned.
How much pressure should he be subjected to?
He stood there, suddenly feeling embarrassed as he watched the silhouette recede in front of him. He did not know how to describe the regret in his heart, but it felt like someone ripped him from his chest.
The silhouette was weak and frail, and his face was small and pale like porcelain. When he ran, his cheeks became pale red, and his eyes were so clear that he could even see his reflection within.
Wu Hongwen felt very sorry to be part of the pressure exerted on this young girl.
If he knew sooner.I don't think it would be too irresponsible for him.
Love letter? Gu Xiqiao did not remember such a thing, so he did not think about it any further.
He stepped on a piece of rock on the pavement, and it was clear from his view that he was deep in thought. Meanwhile, many taxis passed by, but no one stopped for him.
Since this was a school area, so there were many parents who came to pick up their children, and most of them walked expressionlessly, she said, indifferent to everything that happens around them.
Gu Xiqiao looked in front of him, and there was an old couple hugging as they walked on the sidewalk. Their hair was as white as snow, and they limped while walking, but no matter how cold the passers-by were, they would smile politely at them and step aside.
This scene made him look dazed, until the car horn rang beside him, attracting his attention.
The Bugatti seems to have been parked there long enough, the magnificent car attracts the attention of people passing by. Seeing Gu Xiqiao completely ignore him, Jiang Shuxuan could only suppress the horn and lower the window glass. “Asolah.”
Jiang Shuxuan did not ask for his address this time and went to Gu Manor. When they found the red traffic light, she turned to look at the girl sitting there with her head lowered like a tame deer, but she knew that she might be daydreaming again. “Are you waiting for someone?”
The tone was cold, and her thin lips were slightly pursed. His brows were like a pair of unsheathed swords, and his gaze was dark and mysterious as if it held the secrets of the world.
Cool and a bit stiff, yet standing out from the average Joe, most people wouldn't dare approach him.
It might be difficult to befriend him because he could be described as a black hole that caught the attention of the people beside him.
“No, I'm waiting for a cab.” Gu Xiqiao regained his senses and pinched the tip of his shirt slightly. Jiang Shuxuan seemed to be unemployed, always able to come help him at a time like this.
“Where are your family members, did they not pick you up after school?” Jiang Shuxuan recalled the data that was still in his email inbox and frowned slightly.
The Gu family was considered a noble family and part of the upper society, and if they brought this girl back to their home from the very beginning they should have treated her well. They put up a dignified and generous front in N City, but treated Gu Xiqiao like this? After all she was a girl, what did they think of letting her wander around outside like this?
If he didn't pass by chance, how long would he have to wait?
It had been a month since he had been brought back to the Gu family, was this their so-called generosity?
Jiang Shuxuan's image of the Gu family was lowered to a very low point.
“It was nothing, and didn't I ask you to pick me up?” Gu Xiqiao smiled brightly as if he was completely fine with his current situation.
Jiang Shuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly as mist flashed in his dark eyes. He had always been like this on a regular basis, and Gu Xiqiao could not see any difference in his attitude.
He held back his anger and continued driving, making his voice slightly softer, but signs of anger still leaked from the gap. “I didn't give you that phone as an accessory.”
Why didn't he call her?
Jiang Shuxuan used his free hand to massage his temple which had already started to hurt. He knew that he was carefully not trying to be a burden to anyone, but he could not say that it was okay to bother him, because he had no reason to do so. Who is he to her?
The car arrived at its destination, and Gu Xiqiao waved cheerfully before getting off the car.
Jiang Shuxuan did not leave immediately and just sat there waiting patiently, lowering his car window and taking out a pack of cigarettes. He never became a chronic smoker, and he only touched cigarettes a few times a year, but for some reason, he said, the amount he has smoked since he met her can be compared to how much he usually smokes in a year.
His phone rang many times as he sat waiting but all were ignored by him.
The gate was still closed after a few minutes he was standing in front of him, and Jiang Shuxuan's hand was placed on the steering wheel, his elegant features hidden by a wisp of smoke. His fingers moved slightly and his gaze became darker, and a white light appeared on his fingertips before disappearing.
At the same time, the tightly closed metal gate opened slowly.
After seeing Gu Xiqiao enter the gate, he finally left.
