Chapter 7: Chapter Six – Boyfriend/Girlfriend?

"They went to get their marriage license today!" a short-haired girl shouted from the crowd.

"Su Yu Ke, don't talk nonsense!"

"When have I ever missed news about Su Yu Ke!"

"Yeah, they got their marriage license just like that? Too fast!"

The girls sighed one after another, such a handsome Young Master Gu with a good family background just married someone else.

The boys frowned one after another, the goddess just got married to someone else.

"Don't take it to heart! Don't you know about Young Master Gu? Whoever marries him gets eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

"Luckily she was snatched away by Chu Liuli!"

"Who knows what he'll do to Chu Liuli in the future!"

"How did Young Master Gu end up liking Chu Liuli? She's not good enough for him!"

"You few, what nonsense are you spouting!" Su Yu Ke shouted at several girls, "Chu Liuli is such a good girl, Gu Die doesn't deserve her!"

Su Yu Ke, the campus Baishitong.

Although she usually acts down-to-earth, loves gossip, she is indeed a well-known miss of the Su Family.

Usually, she doesn't act like a lady at all, and nobody takes her seriously.

But when she really loses her temper, everyone still fears her.

After all, the old master of the Su Family dotes on his daughter to the heavens; whoever provokes her is asking for death.

With just one sentence from her, the gossiping girls dared not speak.

They also didn't know why, Su Yu Ke's carefree nature lets her hear others speaking ill of her, but she can't stand hearing even a bit of bad talk about Chu Liuli.

Before leaving, Su Yu Ke also glared at the crowd.

The classroom had already turned into a chaotic mess.

It was all because of Gu Die and Chu Liuli.

Gu Die entered the classroom, picked a seat and sat down, while she followed behind him like a little cat.

Nobody dared sit in front of them; they only whispered behind their backs.

"What did Young Master Gu do to her? Why is she following him like a little cat?"

"As I said, whoever marries him will be unlucky! You still don't believe me—just look at Chu Liuli and you'll know!"

"Shut up!" a male student couldn't help but say to the gossiping girls.

"Young Master Gu, I've long heard your methods are high and your heart ruthless." A female student walked into the classroom, brushed her shoulder-length short hair with her hand, and everyone's gaze shifted to her as she spoke.

"But if you mistreat Chu Liuli from now on, I won't let you off!"

Liuli hearing those words from her mouth felt incredulous—was she speaking up for her?

"You can't control it." Gu Die simply said four words.

"If I want to manage, I can manage—she's such a good girl, it's like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung!"

Upon hearing the words "a fresh flower stuck in cow dung," Liuli couldn't help but laugh.

She actually dared to laugh? His face immediately turned cold.

"Su Yu Ke! Stop talking!"

Someone saw Gu Die's face, as frosty as frost, and quickly warned Su Yu Ke.

Otherwise, if he got angry, nobody knew what he might do.

"Chu Liuli, from now on I'll cover you! Besides Cheng Li, you still have me!" Yet she remained calm and continued speaking.

Actually she was also a bit nervous inside, but not because she feared what Gu Die might do to her; she was worried that the ice-cold Chu Liuli might ignore her.

In that case, would she lose face big time?

Seeing his expression change, Liuli quickly stopped laughing.

She never expected Su Yu Ke's words.

She said, she wants to protect her?

Besides Cheng Li, she is the second person to say she wants to protect her.

She walked up to Yu Ke's side; Su Yu Ke would mercilessly refute her words.

But she instead hugged herself.

Everyone in the classroom stared dumbfounded; the aloof goddess Chu Liuli actually hugged her.

Such an embrace is something many people envy but cannot obtain.

Only his face grew even darker.

"Thank you." Liuli lingered, unwilling to let go, "Are you willing to be my friend?"

"Isn't what I just said obvious enough?"

"That's a yes! From now on we're friends!"

She took her hand and happily laughed.

"Is it still Chu Liuli in front of me?" Su Yu Ke thought, she had never smiled at her before.

"Is she still Chu Liuli?"

"Besides Cheng Li, this is the first time I've seen her smile at someone else!"

I don't know why, but whenever he hears the name Cheng Li, he feels annoyed.

Everything about her seems to involve that man Cheng Li!

Su Yu Ke finally realized this was true, grabbed Liuli's hand, and rushed out of the classroom.

"Listen up! From now on Chu Liuli is my friend, Su Yu Ke! Nobody is allowed to speak ill of her!" Su Yu Ke shouted from downstairs to the people upstairs; there were four floors total, and her loud voice made everyone on each floor come out to look.

"Did you hear that? You all! Chu Liuli is my friend!" She shouted again.

"How did the two of them become friends!"

"Chu Liuli has only had Cheng Li as a friend these past two years; I don't know if it's a true friendship or a romantic relationship."

"Gu Die happened to be walking out of the classroom when he overheard that remark, and the speaker instantly realized they had misspoken."

"Young Master Gu is now Liuli's husband!"

"How did he end up hearing such talk? Fortunately, he didn't go looking for trouble."

"\"Boyfriend and girlfriend? \" he thought with a cold snort, and walked straight downstairs."

"As he walked past Yu Ke and Liuli, neither of them glanced at him."

"He just left with a cold face."

"Liuli was indeed very happy, because she now had a second friend in life, and she truly wanted to let the whole world know."

"And Su Yu Ke wanted to let the entire universe know."

"In others' eyes, Chu Liuli is a cold, unapproachable person."

"But the her she sees has always been kind-hearted, warm, and earnest in life."

"Yu Ke has seen Liuli help the elderly, vagrants, and small animals more than once."

"Even though her own life is so difficult, she still brings warmth to others."

"How could she bear to see others slander such a person?"

"She has always wanted to be friends with her, but she fears her aloofness will lead to being ignored."

"But only now did she discover that she is not aloof at all."

"She simply doesn't like to talk."

"\"Liuli, I used to think you were especially unapproachable, \" Yu Ke said. \"So many boys confessed to you, and you turned them down on the spot. \""

"\"A direct rejection doesn't give them hope, and I now basically have no time to think about such things. \""

"\"I thought you rejected others because of Cheng Li, but how did you end up marrying into the Gu family? \""

"\"I don't know how to say this either; life is unpredictable, and Cheng Li and I have been close friends since childhood, with a very good relationship, so it's understandable that people would misunderstand. \""

"\"Cheng Li is indeed a good man, I don't know how many times better than Young Master Gu, \" Yu Ke said, feeling indignant on Liuli's behalf."

"\"He's quite good, not as bad as everyone says, \" she said, speaking from the heart."

"Although they had only known each other for a day or two, she could feel that he wasn't as the rumors said."

"He might just be a bit cold, even colder than she is."

"She also doesn't really believe the rumors—can those words really determine whether a person is good or bad?"

"Isn't she the same in others' mouths?"

"But she knows she is not what people say she is, and neither is he."

"Whether a person is good or bad can only be known through contact, not by what others say."

"\"In short, be careful from now on; if he bullies you, just tell me! \" Yu Ke said, assuming a guaranteeing tone."

"\"Okay! \""

"The two laughed happily."

"She felt that she had really said too much today; Yu Ke was also very excited, and Liuli actually ended up saying so much to her."
