964: Chapter 964: I Believe in You (1) 964: Chapter 964: I Believe in You (1) Guan Qingshuâs face turned awkward for a moment.
âIf it were half a year ago, your confession would definitely have made Yang Dani overjoyed, but now, itâs too late.â Yang Ruxin spread her hands, âI told you last time, Yang Ruxin does not like you, so stop wasting your efforts, clinging on will only make me dislike you more and more.â
âXinxin.â Just then, a white figure appeared beside Yang Ruxin, took her hand, and then looked at Guan Qingshu, âGuan Qingshu, poaching isnât nice, and not all corners are suited for digging.â
Yang Ruxinâs lips twitched.
Was this guy now speaking humorously too?
âIâŠâ
âActually, Guan Qingshu, what you should be doing now is to buckle down and study hard, day by day, then maybe earn the title of Champion, surpassing me and making Xinxin regret leaving youâŠâ Gu Qingheng didnât wait for Guan Qingshu to speak before he continued, âWouldnât that be much better than being entangled like this?â
Yang Ruxin looked at Gu Qingheng, who was all serious, and couldnât help but feel amused, yet at the same time, she felt a warmth in her heart.
He saw that Guan Qingshu was not bad by nature and was also talented, so he was using such words to motivate him, right?
She then nodded in agreement: âThatâs right, Guan Qingshu, you need to work hard, we all have faith in you.â
Guan Qingshuâs hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, glaring hard at Gu Qingheng.
This man had recovered, he actually had!
He had never surpassed him when he was incapacitated, so now that he was healed, did he have a chance to surpass him?
However, Gu Qingheng merely smiled faintly, then, holding Yang Ruxinâs hand, he walked past him toward the outskirts of the village.
It was then that Guan Qingshuâs voice came through: âGu Qingheng, I will surpass you.â
âIâm waiting.â Gu Qingheng did not look back, only raised his hand to gesture.
âGu Qingheng, will you make me regret this?â Yang Ruxin looked back at Guan Qingshuâs retreating figure before turning her gaze to Gu Qinghengâs profile.
âNever!â Gu Qingheng shook his head, âIâll never give you a chance to regret anything in this lifetime.â
Yang Ruxin laughed, then shook his arm she was hugging: âThen Iâm tired, you carry me back.â
âAlright.â Gu Qingheng indeed bent down.
Yang Ruxin really did throw herself onto his back, contentedly letting him carry her on the way home.
And Guan Qingshu, who had walked a long distance away, still couldnât help but look back.
What he saw was that warm, ambiguous scene, and his heart suddenly felt a dull pain.
It was his previous arrogance that had thrown away the happiness that should have been his.
Even though he had said what he did just now, he knew that even if he truly became the Champion, that girl would not returnâŠ
Nonetheless, he would still strive to improve himself, to work hard to stand shoulder to shoulder with that man.
Even if she wouldnât come back, at least he needed to build up the confidence to face herâŠ
at least if one day that man treated her poorly, he would have the courage to take her away himself.
Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin had long since put Guan Qingshu out of her mind and began discussing the matter of that Xie estate owner with Gu Qingheng.
âXie Family estate?â Gu Qinghengâs brow furrowed slightly, âXie Tai?â
âYou know him?â Yang Ruxinâs eyes lit up, âThatâs the name.â
âSeen him a couple of times before.â Gu Qingheng nodded, âHowever, as far as I know, he wouldnât willingly propose a marriage, unlessâŠâ
âUnless what?â Yang Ruxin frowned.
