Innocence

Chapter 37: Friends?



In October, the temperature gradually turned cooler.

One weekend afternoon, Gu Tuantuan stood in front of Xinhai Bookstore, that was located on a pedestrian street, surrounded by people.

She raised her head and glanced at the bookstore, then looked down at the information on her mobile phone.

She mumbled uncertainly,

"… is it here? I'll take a look."

Jiang Ye leaned over behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, put his face on the girl's head, and looked down at the information on the screen.

"Well..that's right, it's here. "

Gu Tuantuan struggled uncomfortably,

"There are a lot of people here , don't do this."

"Huh? Why not ? "

"Just don't!"

Gu Tuantuan interrupted Jiang Ye's words.

She was both angry and powerless facing this situation.

That day, Jiang Ye was at the gate of her school, claiming to be her boyfriend.

Gu Tuantuan still clearly remembers the stunned look on Bing Wei's face , her mouth was open wide enough to put an egg in it, no, a goose egg!

At that time, she tried her best to argue that there was no such thing!

But seeing Bing Wei's expression, Gu Tuantuan knew that all her words were in vain .

In the next few days, Jiang Ye's behaviour became inexplicable.

Every morning and evening when she went to and from school, she would run into him. He was like a ghost !

Just like today, she made an appointment with Qin Zheng to go to author Qingning's book signing this weekend.

But who knew that Jiang Ye, this scumbag, would find out about it and would also follow.

Sometimes Gu Tuantuan wondered, after all, No. 8 Middle School where he studied was considered an elite high school, so why were the students so idle?

Xinhai Bookstore is very large.

When the two walked in, they saw rows of low bookcases, which were made for a dazzling sight.

The most conspicuous place was in front of the plaque for the book "The Tour from Spring to Summer".

Gu Tuantuan stepped forward and took a copy and Jiang Ye rushed over to pay when checking out.

Seeing that he also had a book in his hand, she asked curiously,

"Why did you buy it? You don't like to read this kind of book."

Jiang Ye shook the book casually,

"Everyone here has one ."

"….."

Gu Tuantuan thought she shouldn't have asked. She glared at Jiang Ye, turned and walked towards the venue of the signing ceremony.

Jiang Ye followed behind, bowing his head and rolling his eyes. Romance novel? It seems not.

He looked at the thickness of the book again, and estimated that within three days, he should be able to finish reading it.

The closer to the signing site Gu Tuantuan got , the more people there were. This was not only caused by the book signing, but the popularity of this bookstore was naturally high.

The addition of the two factors made the fairly spacious place suddenly congested.

"Gu Tuantuan! Here!"

A male voice suddenly called out Gu Tuantuan's name, his tone full of surprise.

Gu Tuantuan followed the sound and saw Qin Zheng who was waving his arms.

She also waved her hand and squeezed in with her head down.

Jiang Ye followed her with great strides, helping to block the crowd from both sides.

At first, Qin Zheng's eyes stayed on Gu Tuantuan. But then, he noticed Jiang Ye who was following behind.

Jiang Ye was a bit taller than the crowd around him, so he was particularly conspicuous.

Jiang Ye felt like someone was looking at him.

He raised his eyes, and met Qin Zheng's gaze.

Jiang Ye's gaze was sharp, making people unconsciously want to dodge.

In particular, the look in his eyes has a strong sense of scrutiny, like a hawk who was guarding his food, looking at the enemy full of contempt.

This made Qin Zheng very uncomfortable.

His dark brown brows frowned together.

Gu Tuantuan squeezed in panting.

Qin Zheng avoided Jiang Ye's eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.

Gu Tuantuan was so tired that her face flushed red, and she gasped,

"When did you arrive? Did you wait for a long time?"

Qin Zheng smiled and shook his head,

"No, I just came here too."

He glanced at Jiang Ye who was following behind, and asked hesitantly,

"This is…?"

"Ah! Let me introduce you."

Only then did Gu Tuantuan realize that they didn't know each other,

"This is my classmate, his name is Qin Zheng."

"Hello." Qin Zheng nodded towards Jiang Ye.

"This is Jiang Ye, he is…"

Gu Tuantuan's voice paused slightly,

"He is my friend."

Although Jiang Ye has been calling himself a boyfriend these days, Gu Tuantuan really couldn't accept it for a while.

Anyone who would suddenly have a boyfriend overnight would be hesitant .

No one could accept it so calmly.

Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly: friend?

Qin Zheng's heart also fell to the ground: friend…

In their hearts, two people had different emotions about this word at the same time.
