48. A lone and unsociable childhood friend

Xia Ling's cold eyes flashed with hurt, but she looked at Gu Qian stubbornly.

"If you don't want to hear it, I still have to say it."

"Gu Qian, are you sure you want me to say it here?"

Gu Qian frowned and suddenly felt some movement on the stairs. He watched indifferently and did not break free from Xia Ling.

"Oh, then you can say it here. Whatever you say, I will listen."

Seeing that Gu Qian's attitude had suddenly changed, Xia Ling sensed the aura of the person coming from behind.

But at this moment, it was her chance to tell Gu Qian and Gao Shengyang everything. She was not a saint, so she could not take care of everyone's feelings.

"Gu Qian, I don't want to have a cold war with you anymore. Let's make up."

As she spoke this, word by word, her obsidian-like eyes were clear and focused on Gu Qian.

And in the girl's eyes, Gu Qian saw his own reflection. It was a small, slightly complicated expression of his.

But these black and white eyes were very beautiful, and there was only himself in them.

Gu Qian liked these eyes and the focused look she gave him. However, when this kind of look belonged to other boys and came back to him, he really didn't want it anymore.

"Why should I believe you?" Gu Qian raised his eyebrows mockingly.

Slowly, he pried away Xia Ling's hand that was holding his wrist and looked behind Xia Ling.

Gao Shengyang stood there with his friend beside him.

Gao Shengyang stood there with a pale face, his whole body frozen.

Xia Ling looked at him and said calmly and seriously.

"Gao Shengyang, let's break up. Although I should say I'm sorry, I'm not in a relationship with you during this period of time. Time is precious. We should study hard and stop wasting our time on these unnecessary things. Let's return to the relationship of friends. Is that okay?"

"Friends?" Gao Shengyang looked like he was crying rather than laughing.

Xia Ling nodded and said, "Yes.".

"What about Gu Qian? Is he also your friend?" Gao Shengyang stared at Gu Qian unwillingly.

The two boys were confronting each other in the corridor. Gu Qian looked indifferent and mocking, but in fact, he was also waiting for Xia Ling's answer.

Xia Ling: "He...if he is willing to make up with me, then he is my best brother and best friend. You are different from him, you can't be compared to him."

Hearing the first half, Gu Qian was not happy. Hearing the second half, his mood was much better, but he still felt vaguely dissatisfied.

Ending the short-lived puppy love with Gao Shengyang was only the start.

Xia Ling began to avoid Gu Qian.

People were always bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. During Xia Ling's outburst, she beat Zhou Xiaozhu up so badly. Not only did the teacher not blame her, but Gu Qian also came out to help her deal with the aftermath.

Previously, the original owner kept a low profile and did not want people to know about her relationship with Gu Qian. In school, not only did she not mention that she and Gu Qian were childhood friends, but she also denied it when others mentioned it.

However, while she denied it, Gu Qian treated her very differently. After a long time, Gu Qian would treat her coldly.

Those who were jealous of her no longer had any scruples.

They bullied the original owner, scolded and humiliated her, all to vent the pent-up dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Then Xia Ling really became stubborn.

Whoever scolded me, I will hit them. I am a relative. I am the person that Gu Qian will protect. Let's see who dares to bully me!

These people who had bullied her before were all afraid that she would take revenge. Now, they did not dare to breathe loudly. In the class, they vaguely praised Xia Ling as the big sister. The moment she entered the classroom, the entire classroom was silent.

She went to school and finished school as usual.

The time was separated from Gu Qian. When she saw Gu Qian, she would also avoid him.
