Fu Chenxi looked at the two guys who said hello to Gu Jingyan and left. She stood there for a long time before sitting down.“Beichen. Who were those two guys?” She asked quietly.

Lu Beichen was still staring at the back of Gu Jingyan’s head with a look of contempt. Seeing that Gu Jingyan did not turn back, he scoffed and made a prideful expression. He took his book proudly.

Upon hearing Fu Chenxi’s words, he then replied to her. “Oh, they are also some childhood friends. They got bored with their old school, so they transferred here.”

“Ah, I see… I saw that you and Gu Jingyan both know them,” Fu Chenxi said.

Lu Beichen scoffed. “Yeah. It’s all because the circle is so small. These people know one another more or less.”

Fu Chenxi understood and the corners of her mouth twitched. She smiled and said, “Oh yeah, there are a limited number of wealthy people after all, and you are all in B City. Did you guys play together when you were young?”

“I hung out with them when I was little. Obviously, I’m not on the same path as some people.” Lu Beichen was still resolved about not mentioning Gu Jingyan’s name.

Fu Chenxi said, “Then how come they seem so close to Gu Jingyan?”

Lu Beichen said, “Yeah, they live closer to the Gu family, so it’s kinda like growing up in the same big yard. That is why they are quite close.”

Fu Chenxi understood but lowered her head as she fiddled with her hands. She looked at Gu Jingyan, and then at Lu Beichen.

Lu Beichen noticed that her expression was off. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

Fu Chenxi smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just feel like you’re closer to your circles than me. I don’t know anything at all.”

Lu Beichen understood this and said nonchalantly, “So what about it? They’re just childhood friends, nothing more. When you’re younger, you’re bound to have some crazy friends, and also some from your neighborhood.”

Fu Chenxi said, “I… I was stupid when I was young too. I didn’t have any friends. Jingyan has been my only friend.”

Lu Beichen said, “And now you have me.”

Fu Chenxi heard this and looked at him gratefully. Her heart warmed. She smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I have you… Exactly. Don’t argue with Gu Jingyan anymore.”

“Alright, alright. Let’s focus on our class.” At the mention of this, Lu Beichen immediately frowned and changed the topic.

Lunch time at the canteen.

Lu Beichen was with Fu Chenxi. Little Q and Boss Xu from the class next door came to find them.

Looking at Fu Chenxi, Little Q asked quizzically, “Hey, this is…”

Fu Chenxi’s body tightened as she looked at him nervously.

Lu Beichen said, “Didn’t you see her this morning? She is Fu Chenxi, my girlfriend.”

Little Q then understood. So this was his girlfriend.

He did not see her before. Of course, he wouldn’t recognize her.

Especially with such a beauty like Gu Jingyan beside him, how would he know that Lu Beichen would actually take a liking to an ordinary girl.

He smiled awkwardly. “Oh, oh. Hello hello.”

It was too embarrassing to say that he only paid attention to the two arguing and did not notice Fu Chenxi in the morning.

Furthermore, Fu Chenxi didn’t have any presence at all. Who would have noticed a meek girl beside a flamboyant Lu Beichen?

Fu Chenxi’s face was stiffer. She smiled and did not say anything. She followed obediently beside Lu Beichen.

However, she naturally knew what he meant.

Nobody noticed her in the morning.

But it didn’t matter. Wasn’t it enough that Lu Beichen liked her?

Fu Chenxi told herself in her heart.

The group left together and walked towards the canteen with a blazing trail, attracting countless gazes.

The few tall and handsome guys were like sunshine. Furthermore, three of them were not wearing the school uniform. They were dressed casually but it was very fashionable, making them stand out from the crowd.

Although they were guys, they had way too many clothes at home. After all, they were no ordinary people. Their clothes were not bought by themselves and every piece of clothing was the latest from the top brands that were worth thousands of yuan. Although the designs were simple, the details were extremely beautiful and fashionable. They were definitely different from their average peers.

Little Q even had a pair of headphones hanging around his neck. As he walked, he attracted attention.

“Wow, the canteen here is pretty big. I wonder if the food is good.”

Lu Beichen took the group to the teachers’ canteen on the second floor. They could choose their food there and the dishes were tastier than the food downstairs. It was just much more expensive too. Especially for students, the prices seemed much more inflated.

Thus, students normally didn’t come up except the richer ones who came up here once in a while.

Everyone looked at the group who just arrived and immediately made space for Lu Beichen. The canteen staff also quickly tended to him.

Fu Chenxi had never eaten at this canteen because Gu Jingyan kept a low profile and never came here for meals.

Ever since she got together with Lu Beichen, she was brought here every day.

In the beginning, everyone would look at them and she would feel shy. Now, she had gotten used to it.

Everyone usually stared at them but there were more stares today probably because of the two additional guys with them.

The two guys looked at Fu Chenxi from time to time, seemingly very curious. Fu Chenxi was not used to it.

“Hey, Beichen. How come I don’t see Gu Jingyan?” Boss Xu asked.

Lu Beichen immediately frowned.

Boss Xu asked, “What? You guys may fight, but it’s our first day here and you’re considered our hosts. We can’t leave her out.”

Boss Xu spoke as he looked down at the canteen below.

He saw that Gu Jingyan was there, but a guy joined her not long after.

“Wow, is Gu Jingyan being hit on?”

Lu Beichen heard this, put down his chopsticks, and glanced down.

Gu Jingyan had just sat down when someone joined her.

She looked up.

“Sorry. All other seats are taken. Can I sit here?” The guy was very handsome. When he looked at her, he blushed. He did not look like a guy who had ill intentions trying to hit on her arrogantly.

Gu Jingyan looked around. The seats were indeed occupied. Furthermore, this guy didn’t seem too annoying.

“Oh, sure.”

“Thank you, Gu Jingyan.” He replied with a smile.

“Huh? You know who I am?” Gu Jingyan had no recollection of him.

The guy smiled. “Hello, I’m Ceng Kai. Of course, I know who you are. Who wouldn’t in this school? You’re the top student.”

Gu Jingyan heard this, smiled, and continued eating.

Ceng Kai looked at her and was extremely shy. But at the same time, he was very gentle.

“You know Lu Beichen?” He asked.

Gu Jingyan replied, “Ah… Yes.”

“Right. I just thought if you didn’t know each other before, you wouldn’t be so close. Those rumors outside are too gross.”

Gu Jingyan asked, “What rumors are there outside?”

“It’s nothing really… but, how did you guys know each other? Were you classmates or something?”

Ceng Kai thought that ordinary people probably wouldn’t be able to know someone elite like Lu Beichen.

Gu Jingyan smiled. “I just know him. What about it? Do I need to fulfill some conditions to know him?”

“Of course. Average people like us wouldn’t know him.”

He was very humble to identify as an average person, but Gu Jingyan could tell from his watch and his clothes that they were not cheap. He must have at least come from a wealthy family.
