Gu Jue was the captain of the school basketball team, looked slightly above average, and was considered to be quite good at sports.
He couldn’t be compared with the likes of Tong Yan, whose attractiveness was unmatched. However, he was certainly quite good-looking among ordinary people. In addition, Gu Jue was quite photogenic and with some light image retouching, his photos on social networking sites were all very handsome.
When compared with the handsome but unattainable guys in the school, Gu Jue was definitely one of the best options that girls could obtain.
Lou Xu began to gossip about Gu Jue’s background with Xu Xinduo: “Gu Jue’s family is considered to be a middle-level poor. Because of being good at studies, he got the chance to study in the rocket class but his grades in the rocket class are only around the middle of the class.”
Xu Xinduo was puzzled and asked: “what do you mean by middle-level poor?”
“If you added up the annual income of both parents in the family to total around 200,000 RMB, it would be like a middle class family in an ordinary school. However, it is considered a poor family in our school. All in all, he is a poor student with excellent academic performance.”
Xu Xinduo didn’t know what her family in the countryside would be considered as…
Most likely beggars?
Lou Xu continued: “He was quite normal before junior high school, but when he arrived at our school, it was inevitable that he noticed the economic conditions of everyone else and felt bitter. He started to yearn to have the same riches and honor as them. He is quite a materialistic person. He uses his good looks and shows fake sincerity to associate with people with good families.”
Xu Xinduo understood and asked, “So he is not being sincere with Mu Qingyao?”
“Yes, he is a famous cheapskate and he likes to post Moments (social networking function of smartphone app WeChat). He hangs out with his classmates with good economic conditions. After tagging along with his classmates to expensive places, he normally takes tonnes of pictures and selfies like crazies. Not only that, but he also immediately shares the pictures on social media as if he wanted the whole world to know about it. He actually mooches off others for meals. He even tried to contact me once but I didn’t pay any attention to him. You know my taste is quite unique.”
Wei Lan had also been listening carefully. Hearing Lou Xu’s words, he couldn’t help but say with a smile: “Weren’t you with me at that time?”
Lou Xu nodded, pointing at Wei Lan and said, “My first love is of this quality (T/N: As in handsomeness). How can I even look at him?!”
Wei Lan immediately asked himself why he didn’t feel good after hearing this praise?
Xu Xinduo looked at the two of them amused, and couldn’t help but smile, and then asked: “Does Gu Jue have a vague relationship with Mu Qingyao and Li Xinning at the same time?”
“I think so. God knows how many girls he has on WeChat. I’ve seen girls asking for his WeChat ID many times. I don’t know what’s wrong with the head of those girls. Well, they only see that he is single, I guess.”
Tong Yan took away the mobile phone and took a look at Gu Jue’s photo. After a moment’s hesitation, he asked, “How bad are these girl’s standards? Is this considered good-looking?”
“Well, he is certainly not as good-looking as you. You are ranked first in the list of most handsome boys in my heart.” Lou Xu did not hesitate to praise him.
Tong Yan curled his lips in disgust.
List of most handsome boys? What the hell.
Wei Lan pointed to himself and asked, “What about me?”
“Fourth.”
Wei Lan refused to accept it and asked, “Who are the other two before me?”
Lou Xu continued: “The second is Mu Qingyi and the third is Shao Qinghe.”
“If they are so handsome, why did you become my girlfriend instead of theirs?”
“Because I couldn’t get them.”
Wei Lan’s expression gradually became despaired: “…”
