Still, the gap that Lu Beichen created at the start was far off.

But because of the brief fuss that Lu Beichen caused down below, no one saw that the team on stage already won.

Old Xu dropped his mouse.

“Good gracious. We finally won.”

Little Q also heaved a sigh of relief.

Just then, they looked up only to see that there was chaos down below.

What, what was happening?

Upon closer look…

Everyone was currently discussing.

“I can’t believe Gu Jingyan dared to offend Lu Beichen.”

“See. Lu Beichen tossed her into the car.”

“Exactly. No matter how good their relationship is, he is the First Young Master. He’s different and is worthy of respect. How could she stop him in front of so many people?”

“Lu Beichen is way too temperamental, too. We should stay away from him in the future.”

Old Xu and Little Q looked at each other.

Lu Beichen threw Gu Jingyan into the car?

Given Gu Jingyan’s personality, wouldn’t she go mad with anger?

How dare he!?

Their thoughts were the opposite of all the other outsiders.

What did they mean by how dare Gu Jingyan offend Lu Beichen?

In the entire C Nation, there was simply no one whom Gu Jingyan dared not offend.

Fortunately, they won the game. Everyone was thinking of going out for a celebration, but after Gu Jingyan went out and left, she ignored everyone else and did not bother with Lu Beichen either.

It seemed that she was genuinely angry.

Old Xu had no choice but to call others out for a meal.

When they reached the restaurant, Old Xu said, “Beichen, you made a mistake in this matter. Jingyan was doing it for your own good, too. It’s bad for your reputation to fight in front of so many people.”

Lu Beichen had been fiddling with his chopsticks in a show of nonchalance. Upon hearing him say this, he looked up and said, “Hey, are you taking her side?”

“I…”

“For my own good? What? For my own good? She simply insists on opposing me. Tell me, what do I do that she doesn’t interfere with? What do I do that she doesn’t oppose? And you say it’s for my own good?”

It was impossible to coax him.

Lu Beichen was not really in the mood to celebrate, to begin with. He had eaten two mouthfuls before he simply said that he was not in the mood and then left.

Seeing this, Fu Chenxi had no choice but to go after him.

Old Xu and Little Q crossed their arms over their chests. There was no hope for these two people.

Gu Jingyan returned to the dorms.

The people in the dorm were initially discussing what they had witnessed today, but they hastily shut their mouths when she sauntered in.

But they felt incomparably curious as they looked at the person involved.

At last, someone could not control herself, and so asked.

“Jingyan, what happened? Why did you and Young Master Lu fight?”

“Precisely. Young Master Lu can’t be angry, right? You’re too much. Even if you’re on good terms with Young Master Lu, you can’t embarrass him to his face.”

“But Young Master Lu went overboard, too. Why did he lock you inside the car? How did you guys start fighting? We were outside and didn’t see it clearly.”

In reality, everyone was dying of curiosity. But no one had described in detail what exactly caused such a fierce argument.

Gu Jingyan looked up. Seeing that the others were thinking so much, she said in disbelief, “Wasn’t it just an argument? Nothing happened, we just fought. What is everyone else saying about us?”

One of her dorm mates said enthusiastically, “They said that someone bullied Young Master Lu’s girlfriend. Young Master Lu was so angry that he beat that person up.”

“But they also said that you were the one who got into a fight with his girlfriend, so he wanted to beat you up.”

“They even said that you and that guy were in a relationship. Young Master Lu was so angry that he wanted to beat that guy up. You insisted on stopping him, so you guys started fighting.”

“…”

What were they talking about?

Gu Jingyan said, “Nothing like that happened. Firstly, we didn’t get into a fight at all. Secondly, I went over to stop them from quarreling. What’s it got to do with me? Seriously.”

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

“So, all these rumors are false?”

Gu Jingyan said, “Of course. I wonder why they spread such rumors.”

They shrugged and said, “Although you’re not involved in all these matters, there are rumors about you everywhere.”

“Exactly. It’s all because you’re too beautiful.”

“You’re not just beautiful. Your academic results are so good too.”

“Wherever you, Young Master Lu, and the others go together, people will stare at you guys. Because you guys are such prominent figures in school.”

Gu Jingyan shook her head. “Eh. Everyone has nothing better to do.”

The fact that Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen fought had spread throughout the entire school.

The next day, Gu Jingyan ate with Old Xu and the others.

Lu Beichen, on the other hand, was so angry that he did not come to school.

The two of them even coaxed Gu Jingyan, “Alright. Each of you should say a sentence less or take one step back each. I’m telling you, if you say something to him, I guarantee that his anger will immediately disappear. That’s the kind of person he is.”

Gu Jingyan scoffed. “Forget it. I’m not interested.”

“Hey, you…”

“It’s up to him whether or not he talks to me. I don’t have to talk to him either, right? I still have you guys. It can’t be that without him, I will die from keeping everything bottled up inside?”

“…”

These two people. In any case, in summary, no one will take the first step.

Old Xu said, “Ha. We’ll see when you guys can keep this up.”

The people around them found it strange when they saw Old Xu and the others still hanging out with Gu Jingyan.

Initially, they thought that no one would dare to interact with Gu Jingyan since she had offended Young Master Lu. But they did not expect these people to continue being on such good terms with Gu Jingyan.

Initially, they thought that they would leave with Young Master Lu.

They could not tell that they were good friends with Gu Jingyan.

Just like that, the two of them continued about their own business, treating the other person as non-existent. Fortunately, the school was large, so they would not see each other for a long time if they did not want to.

However, because Lu Beichen and the others had become the school champions, they were immediately recommended to participate in a competition for the entire B City.

Rumors started spreading online, and it said that Lu Beichen would participate in a match. Everyone’s interest in this match increased.

Some people were even more surprised, saying, “I didn’t expect Young Master Lu to be so impressive.”

“Young Master Lu is a God-level figure.”

Lu Beichen felt extremely proud as he looked at the praises he received online.

Although he had received many compliments over the years, those were all because he was Lu Beichen.

But this was the only matter that the admiration was because he played well.

Of course, Fu Chenxi did not quite understand. She smiled and said, “Look at you. You’re like a child. You receive praises for playing games and you’re still so happy.”

“Well, you don’t understand.” Lu Beichen continued, “This is what they call a sense of accomplishment. But you won’t understand it either. Like me, Gu Jingyan, we…”

He had suddenly mentioned that damned person.

He spat before saying, “Anyway, this is something we did on our own. It has nothing to do with our families, that’s why we feel a larger sense of accomplishment.”

Fu Chenxi’s expression darkened. Yes. She would not understand.

Because she was not a rich young lady.
