At this moment, Chen Zimo was sighing over how sharp his eyesight had been in his previous life. Her figure almost met top-tier standards. The only problem was that his heart had been blind.
Whether in body shape, looks, or fashion sense, Gu Xiaoxiao was indeed outstanding. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become Chen Zixuan’s virtuous wife in the future, a high-society socialite who helped him expand his territory.
In his previous life, Chen Zimo had still been just a kid. He didn’t have that kind of worldly experience. Of course, he didn’t have it in this life either. Chen Zimo was a pure and innocent young man. Naturally, he had only known how to judge by appearance.
Gu Xiaoxiao’s face was undeniably beautiful.
Even with just light makeup, she could easily score 8.5 out of 10.
On top of that, his parents had told him that Gu Xiaoxiao was his fiancée and that they would marry and have children in the future.
With all those factors combined, Chen Zimo had treated this beautiful future wife extremely well, becoming Gu Xiaoxiao’s number one simp.
Unfortunately, how could Gu Xiaoxiao possibly fancy a poor loser like Chen Zimo?
Aside from bringing her breakfast, he couldn’t even afford to buy her a luxury bag.
But the current Chen Zimo was different.
Especially during the years he had existed as a soul, there had been an old man who taught him both Chinese and Western medicine. That old man had also taught him how to appreciate a beautiful woman from the inside out.
Outer beauty could only bring temporary pleasure. True excellence required both outer charm and inner substance.
Was Gu Xiaoxiao truly exceptional?
According to Chen Zimo’s analysis…
The question of who she belonged to was still open for discussion.
After all, even if a woman was exceptional, whether she was the kind who would benefit you was another matter entirely.
Some exceptional women would bring prosperity and good fortune.
Others would drag you down or even lead you to your death.
As people often said, “A good woman prospers three generations. A bad woman not only harms three generations but can destroy your entire family and leave you dying miserably.”
In his previous life, hadn’t Gu Xiaoxiao been exactly the kind of bad woman who led him to his death?
So how could the current Chen Zimo have any “interest” in her?
Besides, when a boy becomes a man and grows older, he understands that youthful infatuation is shallow and misplaced.
“This Gu Xiaoxiao is still too immature.”
Chen Zimo glanced at her chest.
Like a flower yet to fully bloom. The source of this chapter is g.com.
“Hmm, not fully developed.”
“And that bossy attitude, taking my breakfast for granted. Damn it, it was all because I was cheap!”
Chen Zimo felt indignant for his past self.
In the Chen family, his monthly allowance had been only 300 yuan, not even enough for his own breakfast. He had to spend much of his energy working part-time. He often skipped breakfast himself, yet he brought Gu Xiaoxiao breakfast every day in different styles, rain or shine, for this so-called fiancée.
And if he missed even one day, in Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes it was as if he had committed some unforgivable sin against her.
She wore her sense of entitlement right on her face.
“Chen Zimo, you still don’t know how to repent, and you’re even smiling?”
Gu Xiaoxiao was on the verge of losing her mind. Waves of grievance flooded her heart.
Her voice grew louder unconsciously.
It immediately triggered the curiosity of other classmates, who crowded by the windows to watch.
“Damn, what’s going on?”
“Did Chen Zimo do something to Gu Xiaoxiao and now refuse to admit it?”
“Don’t insult my goddess. Is Chen Zimo even worthy?”
“Then how do you explain the injury on Chen Zimo’s head and Gu Xiaoxiao looking like she’s about to cry?”
“Now that you put it that way… hehe!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Everyone knows Chen Zimo is Gu Xiaoxiao’s number one simp. She just wants free breakfast. Why would she fancy a poor loser like him?”
The students couldn’t help glancing at Chen Zimo’s faded school uniform. His trousers were slightly too short, making him look awkward and even a bit ridiculous.
At that moment, Yang Xiaoqian, standing beside Gu Xiaoxiao, said, “Chen Zimo, you’ve gone too far!”
“You promised to bring breakfast for Xiaoxiao and me every day. How dare you break your word?”
“If you want to pursue Xiaoxiao, how can you be so impatient? If you keep acting like this, Xiaoxiao definitely won’t like you anymore!”
Chen Zimo remained silent, but he shifted his gaze from Gu Xiaoxiao to her follower.
In the past, Yang Xiaoqian had often used the excuse of being Gu Xiaoxiao’s best friend to make Chen Zimo buy things for her. She had even shamelessly said, “I’m Gu Xiaoxiao’s best friend. If I whisper a few words in her ear, won’t you two get together?”
Chen Zimo had always been polite to her.
But the current Chen Zimo was no longer the super simp he had once been.
“Yang Xiaoqian, you want me to bring you breakfast? Sure. Pay me back the money for all the breakfasts I bought you before.”
“And you, Gu Xiaoxiao, has the Gu family gone bankrupt? Can’t you even afford breakfast?”
When Chen Zimo said this, he deliberately raised his voice and emphasized the words “can’t afford,” attracting even more attention.
Gu Xiaoxiao’s delicate face showed shock and anger.
How could Chen Zimo, this dead simp, dare speak to her like that?
Shouldn’t he be apologizing humbly to his princess right now?
Shouldn’t he be wagging his tail like a dog, begging for her forgiveness and another chance?
Why was this nothing like she had imagined?
She also noticed the classmates leaning at the windows, eavesdropping. Panic rose within her.
Gu Xiaoxiao clasped her hands behind her back and slightly lifted her chin, revealing her developing chest, her swan-like neck, and her delicate collarbones. Her innocence carried a hint of subtle sensuality, the kind that made hormonally charged boys fix their gazes firmly on her.
“Chen Zimo, you’re just getting back at me because of the love letter, aren’t you? I didn’t do it on purpose!”
“I just forgot to take it out of the test paper. Was that my fault?”
“Who told you to give me a love letter during the exam?”
“Don’t you have any fault at all?”
“What right do you have to push all the blame onto me? Do you even still want me to be your girlfriend?”
“I only agreed to let you pursue me for Zixuan’s sake. Do you still want to pursue me or not?”
Gu Xiaoxiao displayed her most beautiful side while mentioning that she had agreed to let him pursue her.
In the past, this was the moment when Chen Zimo’s eyes would light up. He would lower his head foolishly and admit his mistakes, agreeing to any unreasonable demand she made.
That tactic had always worked.
But now, Chen Zimo’s eyes showed only disgust and impatience.
“Oh… a woman who can’t even afford breakfast like you isn’t worth pursuing.”
