293: Chapter 293: Changed to Admiring You (Three more)_1 293: Chapter 293: Changed to Admiring You (Three more)_1 Yang Ruxin also realized that she had spoken too hastily, but with her thick skin, she didnât feel embarrassed.
Instead, she defended herself quite confidently, âI was just making a comparison.
Thereâs no need for you to get so worked up about itâŠâ As she spoke, she kindly got up and patted Gu Qingheng on the back.
âAm I that old?
Iâm only four years older than you,â Gu Qingheng actually felt a bit deflated.
It seemed he really needed to recover soon; otherwiseâŠ
Some kid had actually moved into her home, and he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
If Yang Ruxin knew what was going on in his mind, she would probably die laughing.
Zhou Xiao was a seventeen-year-old kid; he had nothing to do with her, right?
She didnât have any inclination for younger boysâŠ
âOld?
Youâre not old at all.
Whoever dares to call you old, Iâll have a bone to pick with themâŠâ Yang Ruxin hastily waved her hands, then flashed an ingratiating smile, âActually, my point was to express respect, it has nothing to do with age.
Besides, being a teacher doesnât necessarily mean one is old.
Didnât Confucius say it?
âWhen three people walk with me, my teacher is among themââŠâ
âYou even know about Saints,â Gu Qingheng smiled, âDid Guan Qingshu teach you that?â Unbeknownst to him, his tone was slightly sour.
âHow could he be the one to teach me?
I heard my Yang Rusong mention itâŠâ Although Yang Ruxin didnât pick up on the hint of jealousy, she didnât want to tie herself to Guan Qingshu, especially with a scholar already in her family, that seemed enough to gloss things over.
Sure enough, Gu Qingheng said no more and his mood inexplicably brightened.
âAnd hey, Gu Qingheng, even though I used toâŠuh, have a thing for Guan Qingshu, now I have absolutely nothing to do with him.
Can you please not bring him up in front of me again?â Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes in frustration.
Gu Qingheng frowned slightly, âCould it be that you stillâŠthink about him?â
âThe mere mention of him makes me feel sick, it ruins my mood,â Yang Ruxin blew her bangs off her forehead, âWho hasnât been young and foolish?
Iâve changed and Iâm still a goodâŠgirlâŠâ She almost let slip the word âcomradeâ.
In this era, that term doesnât exist, and would certainly raise suspicions.
The corners of Gu Qinghengâs mouth curled up.
âBack then, it was just because I thought he was good-looking and well-read, a blind admiration, nothing more.
But now Iâve realized he isnât as handsome as you and his scholarship doesnât hold a candle to yours, HeiheiâŠâ Yang Ruxin said, gazing at Gu Qingheng with starry eyes, âCan I start admiring you now instead?â
Gu Qinghengâs handsome face turned red in an instant.
Why was this girl so close to him?
He could even smell the fragrance of her breath, which made his heart feel likeâŠ
like it had been brushed by a featherâŠ
Gu Yao covered his face; this Yang Ruxin, flirting with his elder brother right in front of him!
Should he intervene?
Should heâŠ
âGu Qingheng, youâre actually blushing,â Yang Ruxin suddenly burst into joyful laughter, âBut you look even prettier like thisâŠâ
âYouâŠâ Gu Qingheng raised his hand to touch his face somewhat helplessly, feeling that it was indeed quite hot.
âYou know what?
The way you look makes people really want to bully you,â Yang Ruxin rubbed her hands together, looking like a mischievous auntie.
âCough, coughâŠâ Gu Yao couldnât stand it, he coughed twice, âBig brotherâs leg is injured, youâd better be careful.â Then he turned and walked away, feeling that if he stayed any longer, he would die of embarrassment.
Moreover, seeing the way this woman was behaving, it seemed she was about to pounce on his brother any moment, and he truly didnât know whether he should stop her.
So, it was better out of sight, out of mind.
