35 He Actually Got Rejected! (1/2)

Gu Xijiu stood in front of the window and smiled vaguely. Then, she picked up a vermilion fruit and said, ”This fruit tastes good! We just need to consume it. Why would we inquire about its origin? Don't you think so, your honor?”

Apparently, Gu Xijiu did not want him to inquire about her identity and origins. This was not uncommon, as there were many others who did not want to reveal their identities too…

He took a glance at Gu Xijiu again. She was standing there, though her height was as short as a kid's and her face was unremarkable, she looked calm but she actually had the virtue and mettle that suggests a peerlessly well-known sword hidden in an unsuspecting sheath, looking common but with a menacingly sharp blade that must not be treated impertinently.

Rong Che laughed, ”You are right! I am sorry if this may come off as rude, but I’d like to have you as a friend if I could have the pleasure?”

Gu Xijiu took a cup of tea and simply rejected, ”No!”

”Ah?” Rong Che was stunned, which was uncommon for him.

He was rejected! He practically got rejected!

He seemed to be friendly with his smile, but he was not close to many people and seldom made new friends. It took him awhile for him to take the initiative today, but alas, he actually got rejected!

Rong Che was angry for a moment and could not help but to touch his nose. Other than fuming with anger, he felt rather odd and curious simultaneously.

”Why? Do you feel that I am not worthy to be your friend?”

Gu Xijiu replied indifferently, ”A person becomes your friend with actions, not by mere words. Friendship emphasizes sincerity and willingness to sacrifice for each other! As we just got acquainted, I don’t know much about you, hence, how would you understand me? How can you just say ”Let’s be friends” to be friends when we haven’t gotten to know each other yet? Even if I agree to your request, then we are only casual acquaintances, not actual friends.”

Rong Che, ”…” This point of view was new to the eighth prince but it was indeed incisive!

Initially, he was just slightly curious about her, hence, he said so because he wanted to know more. He even wanted to condescend when he said that.
