Chapter 1012: Qin Shuling Strikes Xu Niannian
Editor:Â Henyee Translations
Xu Niannian could tell that Qin Shuling had a clear interest in Gu Pei.
In the past, many girls in the class had shown similar interest in him, but he had only ever had eyes for her.
Gu Yang and Gu Pei were momentarily taken aback by Xu Niannianâs words.
Qin Xian was also surprised.
Qin Shuling narrowed her eyes, regarding Xu Niannian coldly.
Gu Pei, visibly agitated, said, âXu Niannian, we broke up a long time ago. Donât spread nonsense and damage my reputation!â
Xu Niannianâs face showed hurt. âGu Pei, are you really so heartless? You left without a word, and now youâre denying our past?â
Gu Peiâs anger flared. âWhat past? We ended things ages ago. I told you not to bother me!â
Qin Shulingâs expression cleared. âBrother Gu Pei, so this is your ex-girlfriend?â
Gu Pei nodded in confirmation.
The term âex-girlfriendâ clearly stung Xu Niannian.
She didnât care for Qin Shuling at all. âIâm his first love. Who are you?â
âFirst love?â
Qin Shulingâs gaze grew even colder as she contemplated the term. His first love was truly an eyesore.
Qin Shuling turned to Gu Pei. âIâm Lingling, Brother Gu Peiâs friend. My brother and Brother Gu Pei are good friends, arenât you, Brother Gu Pei?â
Gu Pei responded, âUh, yes.â
Though it seemed fine on the surface, it felt slightly off.
Qin Shulingâs smile widened with Gu Peiâs confirmation.
âSince youâre Brother Gu Peiâs ex-girlfriend, why are you still bothering him? Canât you see that Brother Gu Pei is clearly annoyed with you?â Qin Shuling asked innocently.
Each word seemed to pierce Xu Niannian like an arrow.
Xu Niannian looked at Gu Pei with sadness. âGu Pei, is it because of her that you refuse to reconcile with me? What makes her better than me?â
Qin Shulingâs gaze darkened as she looked at the finger pointed in her direction.
She had an impulse to break it.
Qin Shuling then turned to Gu Yang, holding her arm with a friendly gesture. âSister Gu Yang, which family is she from? I donât think Iâve seen her before.â
Xu Niannianâs expression soured. It was clear she wasnât from any prominent family.
Gu Yang replied honestly, âSheâs not from our circle.â
Qin Shuling seemed to understand and asked, âXu Niannian, which department are you in at Hua University?â
Xu Niannianâs face darkened further. She hadnât gotten into Hua University and was attending Capital Drama University next door.
Qin Xian pointed out, âSister, sheâs not from Hua University. Her military training uniform is different from ours.â
Qin Shuling then noticed the school badge on Xu Niannianâs uniform and seemed a bit surprised. âOh, itâs actually from Capital Drama University.â
Although Qin Shuling didnât say it outright, Xu Niannian could sense the disdain and mockery in her tone.
âGu Pei, look at her!â Xu Niannian said, her voice tinged with grievance.
Gu Pei, clearly frustrated, responded, âIsnât what Lingling said the truth? Donât you realize I donât want to get back together with you? Donât drag others into this or slander Lingling. Youâre not worthy of competing with her.â
Qin Shulingâs lips curled into a slight smile. She was clearly in a good mood.
âBrother Gu Pei, donât be so harsh. Student Xu Niannian has her own merits. Iâm not as confident or daring as she is,â Qin Shuling said with a smile.
Gu Yang clicked her tongue. Well played!
Wasnât this a subtle jab at Xu Niannian for being thick-skinned?
âGu Pei! I may not match your familyâs status, wealth, or achievements, but you canât completely deny me!â Xu Niannian gritted her teeth and said, âHave you forgotten why you liked me in the first place? Does she have anything in common with you? Can she even play games with you?â
