Chapter 120: Let's Break Up

Yang Qin bit her lip in frustration, feeling a mix of reluctance and resignation. She certainly didn't want to offend Gu Wenxuan, so she reluctantly intervened, pulling Xiao Xiao aside. "That's my friend Wenxuan's pick. You've missed your chance."

Gu Yining felt like a cabbage tossed around in a market, pulled from one side to the other. Yet, she found herself surprisingly enjoying the attention and the thrill of competition.

Furrowing her brows, she turned to Gu Wenxuan and said, "But if I give you my phone number, doesn't that mean you're my girlfriend?"

Gu Wenxuan crossed her arms, her expression haughty as she looked down at her. "What? Is it embarrassing for me to be your girlfriend?"

It was as if she were doing Gu Yining a favor simply by showing interest in him.

Gu Yining shook her head in disbelief. "No, not at all! You're so beautiful, it feels like a dream. I don't even know your name. Are you sure you want to be my girlfriend? We've just met!"

"I'm Gu Wenxuan, and remember this name—it's the name of your girlfriend. Now give me your number," she said, surprisingly serious.

Around them, whispers of envy began to circulate.

"That girl is so lucky! She just got such a handsome boyfriend with just a few words!"

"If I had known, I would have gone up to ask for his number too. Maybe he could have been mine. Oh, what a pity!"

Suppressing her laughter, Gu Yining tried to maintain a calm demeanor as she approached the front desk to borrow a piece of paper and a pen. She quickly wrote down her number and handed it to Gu Wenxuan.

Receiving the number, Gu Wenxuan tucked it into her pocket with a satisfied grin.

Gu Yining leaned in closer, throwing an arm around her shoulder playfully. "So can I exercise my rights as your boyfriend now?"

"Whoa, kiss, kiss, kiss!" came the loud chorus of encouragement from the other patrons in the tea shop.

Gu Wenxuan felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. Despite having had several boyfriends before, the thought of kissing someone she had just met, especially in front of a crowd, was more than she could bear.

"Uh, let's not," she said, pulling away from Gu Yining's embrace.

Gu Yining pouted, her lips downturned in disappointment. "But I think it only counts as a real relationship if we seal it with a kiss. I'll just do a quick peck, like a dragonfly skimming the water's surface."

Yang Qin, standing nearby, clenched her teeth in jealousy. She hadn't expected this cute boy to be not just charming but also skilled at flirting.

To her surprise, even Gu Wenxuan, the proud girl she knew, was blushing in response to Gu Yining's teasing.

"Fine, just a quick one," Gu Wenxuan relented, feeling flustered as she leaned closer.

Gu Yining placed her hands on Gu Wenxuan's shoulders, inching closer with each step.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao scrambled to pull out her phone, eager to capture this thrilling moment on camera.

Even though she knew that Gu Yining would never actually go through with the kiss, she couldn't help but want to post the picture on her social media to make Fu Hanyan, the older boy, a bit jealous.

The photo snapped just as their lips were about two centimeters apart, unedited and raw, ready to be shared with the world.

Gu Wenxuan's heart raced uncontrollably.

She had never expected to find herself in such a situation, all thanks to this cheeky boy.

She closed her eyes and tilted her lips up, waiting for the kiss to land.

But time passed, and the kiss never came. Instead, the onlookers erupted in mocking laughter.

Gu Wenxuan opened her eyes, only to find Gu Yining staring at her with a strange, cold expression, utterly uninterested in following through with the kiss.

"What are you doing? Are you messing with me?" Gu Wenxuan glared at Gu Yining, her face paling.

Gu Yining shook her head, her tone suddenly serious. "Let's break up."

"???" Gu Wenxuan's eyes widened in shock, feeling as if she had been hit by a freight train.

Was this the shortest relationship in history?
