Xiao Yize, who was driving in the front row, remained expressionless.
Gu Jin was also stunned. Then, she glanced at Gu Pei disdainfully. “Do you really?”
Gu Pei raised his eyebrows proudly. “Of course I do. In the past, I used to receive a few love letters every day. There were plenty of girls who chased after me.”
Gu Jin remarked, “Isn’t that just being a fish in someone else’s pond?”
Gu Pei’s smile froze, his heart sinking.
Xiao Yize asked gently, “Gu Pei, you’re out so late. Have you finished your homework?”
Gu Pei, looking dejected, suddenly raised his head, a sense of dread creeping in. “Is homework… finished?”
“Of course it’s finished. I’ll have your sophomore language team assign extra work another day. Even though you’re a science student, you still need to excel in Chinese,” Xiao Yize said earnestly.
“And as for those love letters you mentioned, puppy love can distract from studies. Your grade dean needs to address this.”
Gu Pei’s eyes widened. “!!!”
Damn, he forgot he was dealing with the head of No. 1 Middle School.
He actually dared to brag about these things in front of the school’s leaders. He was really asking for trouble.
And didn’t he claim to be just Gu Jin’s friend outside of school, not the vice principal?!
Gu Pei leaned back in his seat, feeling like his world was crumbling.
If word of this got out, he’d be the laughingstock of the entire grade.
Gu Jin glanced at Xiao Yize in the rearview mirror and raised an eyebrow.
Soon, the car stopped outside the Gu family villa.
The headlights illuminated Gu Yang and Feng Jue, who were waiting at the door.
Beside them was Snowy, the snow mastiff with pristine fur.
Snowy was lying next to Gu Yang. When she heard their voices, she stood up and recognized Gu Jin and Gu Pei, wagging her tail eagerly.
After Gu Yang received their replies, she and Feng Jue took a stroll in the courtyard, waiting for their return.
She was a little surprised to see them arrive in a car.
“Pei, what happened to your face?”
Under the street lamp’s light, Gu Yang noticed that Gu Pei’s face was a bit red and swollen, indicating he had been punched. She immediately approached to inspect closely.
Seeing the genuine concern in Gu Yang’s eyes, Gu Pei’s nose tingled. He impulsively hugged her and cried out, “Sister!”
Feng Jue’s expression darkened, and Gu Jin frowned, both resisting the urge to pull Gu Pei away.
Gu Yang was taken aback. She hadn’t expected her usually arrogant and fearless brother to hug her and cry.
How hurt must he be?
Though not as tall as Gu Pei, she gently patted his back. Her voice softened as she asked, “Brother, what happened? Who hurt you?”
Feng Jue raised an eyebrow, puzzled. “Did Gu Jin bully you?”
Gu Pei, someone who wouldn’t shed tears even if he ended up in the hospital, was now back with Gu Jin, crying like this. That was the only explanation he could think of.
After all, when Gu Jin got evil, Gu Pei would be reduced to tears.
Gu Jin shot a cold glance at Feng Jue. Was this guy trying to slander her in front of his sister?
Gu Pei choked. “No.”
Worried that Gu Yang might misunderstand, Gu Jin quickly clarified, “He broke up.”
Not wanting to witness a fight between Gu Pei and Gu Jin, Feng Jue let out a disappointed “oh”. Then, he inwardly thought, “What a useless guy, crying like this over a breakup.”
At that moment, Ruan Xueling and Gu Zhaoming emerged from the house.
Only then did Gu Pei release Gu Yang. He wiped away her tears as if he hadn’t been the one crying just moments ago. “Dad, Mom.”
However, Ruan Xueling noticed his condition. She approached, eyeing him up and down. “Did you get into a fight? Why are you crying like this? And wipe your nose! Don’t soil your sister’s clothes.”
Feng Jue and Gu Jin nodded in agreement. That’s right, that’s right!
Gu Pei, hoping for some motherly care, was left speechless.
