Ever since Chen Guo helped Du Chen expose the shady dealings of the scenic spot owner, Du Chen has delivered breakfast to her for three consecutive days.
Every time she couldn’t eat, she had to ask Qin Qian for help.
"Guoguo, are you hiding something from me?" Qin Qian swallowed the last bite and asked Chen Guo mysteriously in her ear.
"No." Chen Guo answered blankly. She subconsciously looked around. Not only was Qin Qian's recent words to her abnormal, but other people in the classroom also reacted abnormally when they saw her.
Qin Qian knew that Chen Guo was young and might not understand some things.
"Does Du Chen come to see you often?" she reminded step by step.
Chen Guo nodded when she heard this. As far as she could remember, Du Chen had helped her with her duties, brought her breakfast, and collected her homework during these three days.
"Has he never been so nice to other girls in the class?" Qin Qian asked cautiously in a lower voice.
Chen Guo frowned as if thinking seriously, and nodded again after a moment.
Qin Qian patted her shoulder helplessly.
"What do you think of Du Chen?" She asked Chen Guo one question after another that left him confused.
"A very good friend." Chen Guo answered truthfully.
Du Chen has his own judgment and will not easily believe Zhao Rurou's instigation.
Qin Qian moved her eyes, revealing a lively and spirited look that was inconsistent with her body shape.
"It's better to take a detour when you see him next time," she suggested.
Chen Guo nodded. She had already told Du Chen not to send her breakfast because she had already eaten, so the breakfast would have to be thrown away, which was quite a waste.
"Everyone in the class has misunderstood. They don't see that Zhao Rurou is gritting her teeth at you!" Qin Qian reminded.
Chen Guo looked for Zhao Rurou, and sure enough, she was staring at her unkindly.
Although Chen Guo didn't understand the whole story, she clearly understood that the matter was related to Du Chen. She nodded as if she understood, and Qin Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, when school was about to end, Du Chen came to Chen Guo's seat.
"I'll treat you to lunch at noon as a way of thanking you for helping me out during the outing." He said this sincerely, and his emotions were not as complicated as others thought.
"No need to go to so much trouble. It's my duty." Chen Guo refused directly, thinking that the other party had been helping her all the time recently and she had already repaid him.
But Du Chen didn't think so. All her classmates were present at the time, but she was the only one who dared to stand up and raise questions.
He didn't expect that Guoguo, such a young girl, was so courageous. She was completely different from the weak girls he usually saw.
There were still many people in the class who had not returned home, and they were all discussing the relationship between the two in a low voice.
"Guoguo, let's go together." Qin Qian hurried over to help Chen Guo out.
"You really don't have to bother. I've already felt your affection." Chen Guo said truthfully as she held Qin Qian's arm.
Zhao Rurou came over and said something inappropriate: "Playing hard to get, Chen Guo, you are so cunning at such a young age!"
Playing hard to get? Chen Guo understood the meaning of this idiom, but under Zhao Rurou's weird tone, she couldn't understand it.
"I'm sorry for being rude. Come to me if you have any problems in the future. I sincerely want to be friends with you." Du Chen was open-minded and thought that Chen Guo was deliberately avoiding him.
Now that everything has been made clear, there is no need for him to worry about it.
Zhao Rurou, however, looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes and exclaimed in amazement.
Obviously, there was nothing going on between the two of them, but due to Zhao Rurou's misunderstanding, people believed it to be true.
"Classmate, please respect yourself." Du Chen looked at Zhao Rurou with disgust, unable to suppress his contempt.
Zhao Rurou widened her eyes in disbelief. Her family was one of the best and others were trying to curry favor with her, but he dared to despise her.
Before Zhao Rurou could say anything, the three people in front of her had already left, completely ignoring her.
This made Zhao Rurou's resentment towards Chen Guo even deeper.
