Chapter 2370: Winter Holiday

Ever since that purely friendship call, Gu Yang and Ye Tian’s relationship had fallen to a freezing point.

Gu Yang had tried to explain to Ye Tian, but she had deliberately avoided him the moment she saw him.

Later, she left Class 1 and the chances of them meeting were even less.

He had been to her class, but every time he went in, she would leave, looking like she would leave if he did.

She had blocked his number and he had used Shen Mingxiu’s number to send her an apology message.

But he did not receive a reply.

After some time, he finally understood what she was thinking.

Not appearing in front of her was the best way to apologize!

Gu Yang did not do well in her final exam.

He knew that she would only come back after he left the first class.

So, he had become the burden again.

When school started next semester, she would be able to come back and he would be kicked out!

Gu Yang did not care which class she was in, as long as she was not affected by him.

Seeing that Gu Yang was silent, Shen Mingxiu poked him with his elbow. “Brother Yang, are you really leaving Class One next semester? Ask your mother to come and greet the discipline master. You can still stay!”

Gu Yang was too lazy to listen to Shen Mingxiu’s nagging. She put on her earphones and lay on the table lazily.

Zhou Ying went to the class to give out the results and spoke for a while. The school announcement sounded and all the teachers and students gathered at the field for the end-of-term commendation ceremony.

Gu Yang, Shen Mingxiu, and the rest only left slowly after most of the people had left.

Ye Tian was going to speak as the representative of the outstanding students of the first year later. She walked with several girls from class five and read the speech.

When they were going down the stairs, one of the girls said softly, “Gu Yang and the rest are in front.”

Ye Tian turned a deaf ear, his gaze still on the speech.

Gu Yang and the others walked very slowly and the girls behind them quickly overtook them.

Shen Mingxiu saw Ye Tian and greeted her with a smile. “Top Student Ye.”

Ye Tian looked back at Shen Mingxiu. She was not as cold and distant as before. There was a faint smile on her beautiful face and she nodded at Shen Mingxiu as a response.

The girls walked away very quickly.

Shen Mingxiu looked at Ye Tian’s youthful back and could not help sighing. “It’s been a long time since I saw Mr Ye’s smile. It’s still as sweet as before!”

The moment she finished speaking, she was kicked hard.

“F*ck, Brother Yang, I only said that Student Ye smiles sweetly. I didn’t say anything else. Why did you kick me?”

Qi Yuan interrupted, “Enough, you don’t know how angry he has been for the past two months!”

Li Lei looked suspicious. “So, does Brother Yang really like Mr Ye?”

Shen Mingxiu and Qi Yuan looked at Li Lei with disdain.

Was there a need to say it so clearly?

Li Lei touched his nose and asked in confusion, “Then why didn’t you tell her that the street test that day was not just a game?”

Seeing that Li Lei had finally asked the question they all wanted to know, Shen Mingxiu and Qi Yuan looked at Gu Yang, waiting for his answer.

Gu Yang put her hands into her pockets and lowered her long eyelashes. She pursed her lips slightly and sped up toward the field without saying anything.

The three people who were behind him could not help but sigh as they looked at his tall and arrogant back.

Qi Yuan said, “Have you noticed? Ever since the top student left Class One, our Brother Yang has been depressed.”

Li Lei replied, “Of course!”

….

During the end-of-term summary commendation ceremony, when it was time for the outstanding Year One students to speak, Ye Tian went on stage.

She was wearing her school uniform, her hair tied into a ponytail from head to toe. She was exquisite but meticulous, a confident and youthful smile on her sweet face.

Standing in front of the microphone, she looked at the entire school and spoke in a crisp voice.

Gu Yang stood at the back of the class, his hands in his pockets as he looked at the girl speaking on stage.

The golden sunlight landed on her, as if she was covered in a sacred halo.

She was beautiful and had a sweet smile. She was no different from before, but she gave people a sense of distance.

An unnoticeable darkness appeared in Gu Yang’s eyes.

The hand in his pocket clenched into a tight fist.

….

After the end-of-term commendation ceremony, they would start their winter vacation.

Most of the students in Nanli were from well-off families and were discussing how to survive this winter vacation.

An Rui ran to the classroom to wait for Ye Tian.

She took out a registration card and gave it to Ye Tian, asking expectantly, “Tiantian, let’s go play live-action CS?”

Ye Tian took the registration card and looked at it. When she saw the contents of the game, her doe eyes lit up. “It looks quite interesting. Have you signed up?”

An Rui nodded. “I did. You should come too. I heard it’s super exciting and fun.”

Ye Tian pursed her lips, hesitating slightly. “I want to go, but I have to go back and ask my parents for their opinion.”

“Aiyo, my little beauty Tiantian, how old are you? Why do you still need your parents’ opinion to participate in the CS? I don’t believe you don’t have any private money.”

Ye Tian looked at the registration fee. Although it was a little expensive, she did not lack this money.

“Alright! I’ll send you the message when I’m back.”

….

In Class One.

Shen Mingxiu’s WeChat rang.

After receiving An Rui’s message, Shen Mingxiu hurriedly took out a registration card and placed it on Gu Yang’s desk.

Gu Yang was playing with her phone and glanced at the registration card from the corner of her eye. There was a trace of indifference on her cold face and she said lazily, “No.”

Shen Mingxiu seemed to have guessed that Gu Yang would say this. He took back the registration card and returned to his seat, saying, “If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Anyway, An Rui convinced Mr Ye…”

Before he could finish, a slender and clean hand reached over and snatched the registration card from his hand.

Shen Mingxiu was overjoyed. He put his arm on Gu Lan’s desk with a sly expression. “Brother Yang, didn’t you say you weren’t going? Don’t embarrass yourself so quickly!”

It had been a long time since Gu Yang had the chance to talk to Ye Tian. He still owed her an apology.

“I’m going. What nonsense are you talking about?” Gu Yang took a pen and filled in her details. After throwing the registration card to Shen Mingxiu, she transferred a sum of money to him. “Registration fee.”

….

After Ye Tian talked to An Rui, she received a call from the driver.

“Little Princess, I’m already at the school gate.”

“Alright, I’ll be out soon.”

Ye Tian hung up and walked toward the school gate. At this moment, a tall figure walked toward her.

“Tiantian.”

Ye Tian looked up and saw Fu Yunze, whom she had not seen for a long time.
