【Nonsense! A few days ago, Young Master Lu even lost his temper for a beauty and beat the young master of the Wu family! Who in the Economics and Fine Arts Departments doesn’t know about this?】
Wen Xuqian’s eyes gradually darkened.
【Really? Even lying doesn’t need to be done so clumsily, right?】
【I’ve heard about this too. It’s true. Young Master Lu doesn’t seem to dislike Gu Cha.】
Wen Xuqian stopped reading at this point. He carefully looked at the picture of Gu Cha nibbling on a carrot, confirmed his location, and then turned off his phone.
Dating… what a joke…
He had clearly grown up with Gu Cha. Why should Gu Cha be with Lu Chenyu, who had appeared out of nowhere…
Even if Gu Cha wasn’t the Real Young Master, he should still be with him…
At this moment, Wen Xuqian had already forgotten that he had been the one to treat the young master of the Gu family as a tool for his own use first, and that he had abandoned “Gu Cha” after discovering that he wasn’t the Real Young Master.
Wen Xuqian put away his things and quietly waited for the class to end. A few minutes later, the bell rang, and he was the first to rush out of the classroom.
【Cha Cha, even the system school has carrots, but they taste awful, really awful. Are the carrots in your hand tasty, Cha Cha?】
Gu Cha: “They’re tasty.”
Crunch, crunch.
Gu Cha ate the carrot in his hand with relish, making even Tong Tong, who usually didn’t like such things, look hungry.
Within minutes, Wen Xuqian reached the place where Gu Cha had been in the picture. But after looking around, he couldn’t see the small figure. Remembering that Gu Cha had come to attend class, he looked toward the art classroom. Sure enough, he saw Gu Cha walking slowly about twenty meters away.
Wen Xuqian rushed forward.
“Gu Cha!”
Gu Cha looked around in confusion. “Tong Tong, is someone calling Cha Cha?”
【No, Tong Tong didn’t hear anything.】
Tong Tong, swallowing, replied perfunctorily.
“Oh, okay.”
Gu Cha continued walking. Wen Xuqian saw him pause briefly but then keep moving and hurried to catch up.
Something suddenly tapped Gu Cha on the shoulder, and he was so startled that the carrot in his mouth fell to the ground.
Gu Cha’s eyes widened in shock.
Seeing Gu Cha staring at the fallen carrot, Wen Xuqian frowned and lifted his head. In a deep voice, he said, “Don’t look, I’ll make it up to you, a lot, a lot.”
Only then did Gu Cha’s attention shift to Wen Xuqian. He snorted. “Really?”
“Of course.”
The Eldest Young Master squatted, picked up the fallen carrot, and threw it into a nearby trash can. His tone was extremely gentle, even carrying a hint of coaxing. “I have something to tell you. Will you come with me?”
Wen Xuqian tried to lead Gu Cha, but suddenly realized that Gu Cha had stood still, not moving at all.
“What’s wrong?”
Gu Cha felt aggrieved and tried to sound firm, but his voice was too soft: “You scared me just now…”
Wen Xuqian hadn’t expected Gu Cha to worry about the carrot before himself. He bent slightly, apologizing word by word: “I’m sorry, Cha Cha. I was wrong.”
Gu Cha reluctantly forgave him and began eating another carrot in his hand.
Wen Xuqian led Gu Cha to the piano classroom in the art building. The classroom was empty, just as he wanted.
Gu Cha was much shorter than Wen Xuqian. Wen Xuqian let him sit on the table while he himself sat on a stool.
Still holding a grudge, Gu Cha hadn’t forgotten Wen Xuqian scolding him last time. He asked reluctantly: “Wh-what did you call me here for…”
Gu Cha’s emotions were clearly written on his face. Wen Xuqian couldn’t help but laugh.
Gu Cha blushed. “Why are you laughing? Do you believe it if I… I’ll scold you too… scold you until you cry!”
“Alright, alright,” Wen Xuqian apologized. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have scolded you, Cha Cha.”
“Humph.”
Wen Xuqian looked at the little young master pouting and smiled to himself.
How interesting…
So, he needed to keep Gu Cha by his side…
A fierce possessiveness appeared in Wen Xuqian’s eyes.
Feeling “guilty,” Wen Xuqian continued apologizing: “I’m sorry. I won’t treat you like that again. We grew up together… we’re good friends. Cha Cha, I used to be so good to you. You won’t ignore me just because of that, right?”
One hand quietly moved up to hold Gu Cha’s wrist, which held the carrot.
Gu Cha, oblivious, was immersed in the apology of this bad-tempered guy. When he heard Wen Xuqian’s next words, he froze. He recalled the memories of “Gu Cha”… Wen Xuqian had indeed been very kind to “Gu Cha” before, but something felt slightly off, though he couldn’t say exactly what.
He had no choice but to pause his memories.
Considering how good Wen Xuqian had been to him, Gu Cha forgave him.
“Alright, Cha Cha won’t ignore you.”
Wen Xuqian smiled cunningly where Gu Cha couldn’t see. His gaze fell on the carrot Gu Cha had bitten. He raised Gu Cha’s hand with some force and leaned down to bite the uneven, saliva-glossed marks.
“Ah! What are you doing, eating my carrot!” Gu Cha exclaimed.
Wen Xuqian sighed wearily. How could the young master’s first concern always be food?
“That’s not right… why are you eating the part I bit?” Gu Cha finally reacted.
Wen Xuqian looked innocent. “Cha Cha said we’re still good friends. Good friends sharing food is normal, right?”
Gu Cha glared at Wen Xuqian in disbelief. “Liar… there’s my saliva on it, it’s dirty…”
“Not dirty.” Wen Xuqian bit again, deliberately choosing the part Gu Cha had bitten.
Gu Cha’s face turned bright red. In his pure little world, this was wrong.
“I-I don’t want it!” Gu Cha stuffed the carrot into Wen Xuqian’s mouth and jumped off the table, escaping from the piano classroom.
“Hahaha… haha.” Wen Xuqian laughed, his voice echoing throughout the empty room.
Suddenly, something caught his attention. He stopped laughing.
The Real Young Master he should have been struggling to win over was standing outside the window, expressionless, watching him.
