It was a spring afternoon The sunlight shone bright and warentle breeze in the air
Gu Nianzhi, wrapped in a thin fleece blanket, was asleep on a red European-style velvet sofa next to a bayShe was in the penthouse apartya precinct
The roo
“The rain falls softly, rass and trees I hear that you are still alone…”
The ringtone, “Fireworks Cool Easily” [1] woke Gu Nianzhi froave a start, but didn’t feel like picking up the phone She continued to lie on the sofalazy
“The rain falls softly, rass and trees I hear that you are still alone…”
The phone continued to ring Whoever was on the other end was calling her phone over and over again, and was clearly not going to give up
It was no longer possible for Gu Nianzhi to pretend to be asleep She reached out a finger, unlocked her phone with a lazy swipe, and said, “hello”
Feng Yixi’s sweet, melodic voice sounded from the other end “Nianzhi, you absolutely have to coht! You’re my best friend! It’sthe final test for our post-grad adhed and said, “I haven’t forgotten Your house, it’s in Dexin, isn’t it?”
Fengya precinct consisted entirely of apartments Dexin, on the other hand, was the villa precinct
Gu Nianzhi usually stayed at a penthouse in one of the Fengya apart, also owned a villa in Dexin, and it was currently vacant If she used the villa, it would save her a lot of the hassle involved in attending Feng Yixi’s birthday celebration
“That’s right I’ll send the address to your phone” Feng Yixi was standing on the balcony of her villa under a parasol Her eyes were fixed on the azure sky On her pearly white ear was a shell white wireless headset
Sweet, honeyed words continued to tumble out of her dark cherry lips The words, irresistibly char, were in complete contrast to the twisted, vicious expression on her face
Feng Yichen stood across fro her silently as she nursed a cup of cappuccino Once Feng Yixi was off the phone, Feng Yichen shook her head disapprovingly “Yixi, are you really doing this? Gu Nianzhi… it’s not like she’s done anything to you, right?”
“What do you hed coldly before walking away in a huff “Big Sister, surely you can’t be this naïve?! Before Nianzhi transferred to our college, I was the top-scorer in my faculty! I was the faculty princess! Then she appeared, and took everything froirl! How dare she pretend to be one of us, the rich and the beautiful!”
Feng Yichen set her cappuccino down and followed Feng Yixi into the house The two sisters stood before the French hispering conspiratorially
“Okay, fine, I know you resent her, but don’t forget that Gu Nianzhi’s parents are both dead She has no relatives, not a single one She needs her scholarshi+p and the ues above her Can’t you just grin and bear it?”
“I did, for two years! But not this tione very, very low She extended her left hand: on herThere was a tiny protrusion at the top
A mysterious, self-satisfied sot it for ive Gu Nianzhi a tiny prick with this, and it’s goodbye to the rising star of our faculty, hello to our next internet celebrity! She’ll bea million yuan birthday banquet just for this, she won’t be able to accuseYichen’s hand flew to her rew round and wide “Are you serious? What on earth is that?”
“H Yixi indicated the lawn beyond the French ith her chin “I spent a fortune getting pinhole video caoes on the internet… teehee!”
Feng Yichen’s broitched She said, anxiously, “Little Sister, don’t go too far What if she goes to the police? What’s going to happen to our fa public soon This is a very i trouble”
