Chapter 1056: Neglect (Part 1)

This is what it means to bring humiliation upon oneself.

In the end, it was that timid girl who came over and took her away.

Guan Fangbin asked Gu Lingling a few more questions, and throughout, Yang Yunhai didn’t speak—he just quietly served Gu Lingling some food.

"We can do this too." After dinner, there was still some time, and while walking, Yang Yunhai held her hand and said, "Is it because he’ll be very impressive in the future?"

He knew Gu Lingling had been reborn, and if she was patient enough to guide someone, it was unusual.

"Yes." Gu Lingling smiled, "He’ll be the richest man in the future."

This was some foresight, and she was just making a good deal of it in advance.

Yang Yunhai chuckled, "Silly girl."

Despite having foresight, she hadn’t thought of using it for some ulterior purpose, which was touchingly kind.

"I think it’s quite fine like this." Gu Lingling said with a smile, "I like us being ordinary."

To be famous?

That’s too tiring.

Thinking of Guan Fangbin’s future days in the past life, Gu Lingling felt that remaining grounded was much better.

If possible, she genuinely hoped that the girl named Fang Xiaoxiao could live brightly and optimistically.

Also, she hoped Guan Fangbin could recognize his own heart soon.

Who knew that the person she thought about in the morning would come looking for Gu Lingling after classes in the afternoon.

"Can I be friends with you?" Fang Xiaoxiao nervously asked, "I know you get along with Fang Bin, and I’m not jealous, I just want to learn from you how to talk to him so he understands what I mean."

She was quite annoyed too; whatever she said, Guan Fangbin either didn’t understand or wasn’t interested.

And some of what Guan Fangbin said, she couldn’t comprehend at all.

Yet even so, she still liked him very much—really loved him, deeply.

Gu Lingling felt a bit troubled.

She didn’t know how to convey this.

Could she say it was because Fang Xiaoxiao lacked assertiveness? Her life revolved entirely around Guan Fangbin.

How’s Guan Fangbin’s mood today?

Did Guan Fangbin eat well today? Is he hungry?

The weather changed; did Guan Fangbin wear more clothes? Could he catch a cold?

As for her own feelings, she overlooked them entirely.

So in the past life, when Guan Fangbin became busier and had hardly any time for her, Fang Xiaoxiao started to feel empty.

She even began to overthink.

But she didn’t dare to talk to Guan Fangbin, afraid he would despise her, and even more afraid he would leave her.

Gradually, her inner vexation couldn’t be relieved or vented, leading to depression, which accumulated day by day until one day it exploded.

She turned on the gas and committed suicide.

Looking at this still rather bright girl in front of her, Gu Lingling had a momentary urge to tell her not to be so fond of Guan Fangbin, but to take good care of herself instead.

"Sure." Gu Lingling said with a smile, "My name is Gu Lingling, nice to meet you."

"Can we study together in the future?" After introducing herself, she continued.

Study?

Fang Xiaoxiao hesitated a bit, but since she mentioned wanting to make friends, she said, "Of course."

Studying together also allowed her to observe Gu Lingling; maybe then she’d figure out what the issues were with her and Guan Fangbin.
