After finding out her address successfully, Lu Zhangting went back to school in a fabulous mood, completely forgetting a certain “weak, cute” friend.

When she arrived to school the next day, Gu Shengyin received a lot of concern from her cla.s.smates. When she was carried away yesterday, her appearance had frightened them.

“Thank you, everyone. I"m much better now. Nothing happened.” She calmly thanked them. Although she was still expressionless, they could see that she was sincerely grateful. (虽然脸上依旧没什么表情，但是看的出来，她是在真心感谢)

Those students suddenly felt that Gu Shengyin was not proud and condescending like usual. Perhaps she was just bad with words. (那些同学突然就觉得其实顾盛因也没有平日里看到了那么高傲目中无人，或许她只不过是不善言辞罢了)

Qi s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked at Gu Shengyin, who easily obtained a good impression from their cla.s.smates, and suddenly asked: “Sheng Lu, what happened to you yesterday? Suddenly using so much strength to push me away?” (齐诗诗看着轻易就获得了同学们好感的顾盛因，突然开口问道："盛露，你昨天是怎么回事？突然用那么大力气推开我)

Her words caused their surroundings to quiet down. Everyone remembered the incident of Gu Shengyin pus.h.i.+ng Qi s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, and she, herself, fainting yesterday. (她这话让周围都安静了下来，所有人都想起了，昨天顾盛因推开齐诗诗并且自己晕倒的事情，他们也都好奇，到底发生了什么事情)

Gu Shengyin"s face turned slightly pale when she heard this. When everyone was worried that she would faint again, she tried to stay calm and undisturbed: “It was my fault yesterday. I"m sorry, Qi s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. I will pay for your medical expenses.”

With the way she was speaking, everyone could tell that her state was somewhat wrong, causing everyone to become even more suspicious about the incident.

Qi s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was reversed. (齐诗诗起了个倒仰)

On the bright side, Sheng Lu"s sentence took all the mistakes onto herself, but discerning people who were present that day could see that Sheng Lu"s condition was clearly more serious.

The way she said it only made people even more curious as to what had happened, and they would subconsciously sympathize with the weak, being partial towards Sheng Lu. 

Qi s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was grinding her teeth in her heart: I originally thought that this rich young lady, who was so lofty and didn"t eat people. I didn"t expect her to be black inside. (齐诗诗心底咬牙：原以为真是个眼高于顶不食人间烟火的大小姐，没想到竟然是个内里黑的)

After this incident, Gu Shengyin successfully established her “amiable and approachable” image.

Although it was not as good as Qi s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s, nothing happened and even those people who came out to speak was gone. (虽然比不上齐诗诗人缘好，但也不会出个什么事情，连个站出来说话的人都没有了)

There was still a cla.s.s in the afternoon with Yuan Chen.

After cla.s.s, Yuan Chen suddenly called Gu Shengyin to a corner of the corridor. (下课之后，袁琛突然在一个走廊拐角处喊住了顾盛因)

“Is something the matter?” Gu Shengyin asked.

Yuan Chen recalled his roommate"s words. Thinking that it made sense, for some things, he should ‘strike first and gain the upper hand"1. (觉得有道理，有些事情，还是先下手为强的好)

“Sheng Lu, I have something I want to say to you.” Yuan Chen gazed at Gu Shengyin somewhat nervously.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” He asked.

Gu Shengyin shook her head.

Yuan Chen was happy but before he could continue, Gu Shengyin was one step ahead and said: “I"m sorry, Yuan Chen. Temporarily, I don"t have any thoughts in regards to that.”

Yuan Chen felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. He couldn"t hear it clearly. Was this actually a rejection in disguise? (袁琛犹如兜头被泼了一盆凉水，他何尝听不出来，这其实是一种变相的拒绝)

But looking at Gu Shengyin"s cold appearance, hope was still ignited in his heart: She didn"t say she didn"t like me. Rather, she did not want to think about thing right now. Doesn"t that mean others will also be rejected since he was rejected? In this case, I still have hope! (但是看着面目清冷的顾盛因，他心里又燃起了希望：她说的不是不喜欢自己，而是现在不想考虑这些事情。这是不是意味着，自己表白会被拒绝，别人也同样呢？这样的话，自己依旧是有希望的！)

Gu Shengyin did not know that the other person"s heart had reignited his fiery fighting spirit. She nodded and left.

After turning a corner, she saw a certain man standing there.

Lu Zhangting was carrying a thermo jar in his hand. When he saw her, he faintly smiled and said: “It seems like I did not come at a good time.” (陆长霆手上还提着一个保温桶，见到她微微笑着说："看来，我来的好像不是时候？)

JMin"s Corner:

When things don"t go your way… (Qi s.h.i.+s.h.i.+)

Can I say that Yuan Chen is in denial??

Ari"s Corner:

1. pursuing her first to gain advantage from other compet.i.tors↩
