After the end of the final examinations, the students would get to enjoy a long summer break.
Wen Xinya also slumped for two days, during which she n slept and woke up naturally without alarms. Since it was not too appropriate for her to wander around right after the summer holiday began, she stayed at home to accompany Old Mr. Wen instead of going to Lishan Mansion.
It was the weekends and Zhou Tianyu asked her and Xu Tongxuan out for shopping. They agreed to meet at ten in the morning at Pearl Mall.
Zhou Tianyu placed an arm around Wen Xinya’s neck and said, “Xuanxuan… when was the last time we shopped together?”
Although she was asking Xu Tongxuan that question, she kept her eyes fixed on Wen Xinya.
Xu Tongxuan stared at Wen Xinya and answered, “Ever since school reopened for Xinya. To be exact, it’s been three months and ten days.”
Wen Xinya glared at the two of them and frantically asked, “Why are you guys staring at me? Don’t you want to go shopping? Why are you standing on the street if you want to go shopping?”
She refused to admit that she had been neglecting her friends because of her examinations.
Zhou Tianyu grimaced at Wen Xinya.
The few of them entered Pearl Mall and Xu Tongxuan said, “We should have asked Little Eunuch Gu along…”
Before Xu Tongxuan could even finish speaking, Zhou Tianyu immediately interrupted. “Why should we ask them along to a girls’ shopping trip? I don’t want them to get in our way.”
As soon as Zhou Tianyu said her piece, she realized that there were two eyes fixed on her. She was not as thick-skinned as Wen Xinya who could remain composed despite having someone else stare at her. Her eyes darted all around the place and her ears began to turn red.
Something happened!
Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan looked at each other, feeling extremely agitated.
Wen Xinya pretended to be confused and said, “It’s been a long time since I went shopping and I realized that there are plenty of things that I have to buy. Little Eunuch Gu can help us carry our shopping bags and make shopping much more enjoyable for us.”
Wen Xinya thought about the time when she got drunk and Zhou Tianyu mistook Gu Junling for her, after which she kissed Gu Junling furiously. She wondered, Could that be the reason for their sudden progress?
Xu Tongxuan applauded and said, “Xinya, great minds think alike! I’ll call Little Eunuch Gu immediately. He’ll be glad to come.”
Xu Tongxuan then retrieved her mobile phone from her bag.
Zhou Tianyu frantically said, “We’ll just have the items delivered to our doorstep after shopping. There’s no need to go to the trouble of getting Gu Junling to come here and move our stuff. It’s been a long time since we went shopping. We can’t let a guy ruin our mood.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Tianyu hung her head low and stared at her heels guiltily.
There was a major issue!
Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan looked at each other in a gossipy manner.
Wen Xinya twirled around Zhou Tianyu and asked with a look of bewilderment, “Tianyu, are you alright? Why have you been acting strangely whenever we mention about Little Eunuch Gu?”
Could it be that Gu Junling has finally made some progress in his journey towards victory after fighting a decade-long battle? No… that can’t be. Why didn’t we get any updates?
Hanging her head low, Zhou Tianyu said softly, “Since when!?! It’s just rare for us to go shopping together, so…”
She racked her brains for an appropriate way to complete her sentence.
Xu Tongxuan frantically asked, “So what? Did something happen between you and Little Eunuch Gu? Did he bully or offend you?”
Wen Xinya hurriedly chimed in. “It can’t be. Little Eunuch Gu has always given in to you and you’re the only one who will bully him. Since when has he bullied you?”
Zhou Tianyu was at a complete loss for what to do. “Anyway, I don’t want to see him.”
Xu Tongxuan’s eyes widened in shock and she exclaimed, “Tianyu, is everything alright between you and Little Eunuch Gu!?! Don’t you always treat him as your best friend who follows you everywhere and sticks to you like glue?”
It seems Gu Junling and Zhou Tianyu had made some progress.
Upon hearing her words, Zhou Tianyu said, “Who sticks to me like glue? He’s just a scoundrel.”
Dumbfounded, Wen Xinya wondered to herself, Did Gu Junling force himself onto Zhou Tianyu and devoured her?
Some rated scenes began to form in her head. Did Gu Junling finally succeed after more than a decade? She wondered.
Zhou Tianyu stared at the expression on her friends’ faces and turned shy and embarrassed, for she knew what they were thinking. “Hey, hey, hey, don’t let your imagination run wild. It’s not what you think.”
Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan asked in unison, “If that’s not the case, what’s going on between you two?”
Zhou Tianyu had no choice but to come clean. Turning as red as a tomato, she looked at the ground and answered, “Well… do you remember when we got drunk that day? I… I don’t know why but I… I…”
Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan knew something was up after hearing her stammer. “What did you do to him?”
Zhou Tianyu hung her head even lower and answered, “Well… I slept with him!”
“What?” The two of them were dumbfounded.
Zhou Tianyu knew that she sounded rather suspicious, so she frantically explained, “That’s not what I meant. Nothing happened between us, we just slept together… we purely slept and did nothing else… I swear…”
They clearly did not believe Zhou Tianyu.
Zhou Tianyu frantically explained, “It’s true, we’re innocent…”
Xu Tongxuan said, “You were drunk out of your senses, how could you be so sure that nothing happened between you two? You shared the same bed alone and there was definitely lust…”
Wen Xinya chimed in. “I even saw you kissing Gu Junling in the private room of Ninth-Heaven. How could you say that you’re innocent?”
“You guys…” Zhou Tianyu was at a loss for words for a rebuttal, despite feeling furious. She instantly began to wonder if they had really done nothing that night.
Xu Tongxuan said, “Tianyu, Little Eunuch Gu is a promising youth and a pure virgin. Yet, you’ve ruined him. Shouldn’t you be responsible!?!”
Wen Xinya added, “Well, we always say that you shouldn’t flirt with those who are close to you, but since you have, you might as well just get together. You’re both single and good-looking. What’s the harm? Yet, you refuse to admit it. Tianyu… I’m so disappointed in you…”
Dumbfounded and guilty, Zhou Tianyu said, “But… I’m a girl. Aren’t girls at a disadvantage when it comes to such things?”
Xu Tongxuan said, “You can’t discriminate against men, either. Men’s chastity matter more than women’s and are much more precious. Since you bedded him, he’s obviously the one at the losing end.”
Wen Xinya agreed. “Little Eunuch Gu had a hard time staying a virgin for more than two decades. Yet, you ended up ruining him and you’re even trying to shirk the responsibility. How pitiful. He met such a heartless girl like you.”
Zhou Tianyu was beyond confused and perplexed.
Zhou Tianyu would often forget what she did after getting drunk.
