When Gu Xiao heard this, she raised her head and looked at her teacher seriously. Her attitude towards learning was as sincere as before.

However, if one looked closely, they would still notice that she was pretending to be strong.

The teacher sighed in her heart and felt even more sorry for Gu Xiao, but she couldn’t show it.

The surrounding students also stopped talking and listened attentively to the teacher’s lecture. However, sometimes, they could not help but look at Gu Xiao and Ji Yao.

After class, the teacher left the classroom. Ji Yao stood up and walked towards Gu Xiao under everyone’s gaze.

Gu Xiao looked up at Ji Yao and said coldly, “What’s the matter?”

“Xiaoxiao, Ah Wen and Mom are also worried about me, so they asked me to return to class.” Ji Yao paused and continued casually, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go back to my previous class. Don’t get into a conflict with Mom because of me.”

Ji Yao’s words were reasonable and she looked very aggrieved.

Hearing this, Gu Xiao sat up straight and stopped Chu An, who was about to chase Ji Yao away.

“If I tell you to go back, will you really be willing to go back?”

Ji Yao’s eyes flickered. She met Gu Xiao’s calm eyes with a little timid gaze, as if she was worried that the other party would really let her return to that bad class.

“If Dad and Ah Wen agree, I’m naturally willing to go back. I don’t want to cause conflict in the family because of me.” ‘However, if it was only you who asked, I would definitely not agree. Who wanted to return to that disgusting inferior class!’

Gu Xiao naturally understood what Ji Yao meant and sneered.

“If I really ask you to return to your previous class, won’t your efforts to return be in vain?”

Ji Yao’s hands at her sides trembled, and a trace of malice flashed across her eyes.

“Xiaoxiao, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t try so hard to get it back. It’s just that Ah Wen and Dad dote on me.”

Gu Xiao turned her head away, looking like she did not want to talk to Ji Yao anymore.

Ji Yao secretly hated Gu Xiao’s attitude. Just as she was about to continue, Chu An spoke first.

“Don’t you think it’s a little unnecessary for you to stand here? I feel like I can’t breathe!”

There wasn’t any malice in Chu An’s voice, but what he said was the greatest malice.

If standing in front of him made it difficult for him to breathe, didn’t that mean that Ji Yao was too fat?

Although Ji Yao’s figure was completely unrelated to being fat, his words still made the surrounding people look at Ji Yao meaningfully.

Being sized up by everyone, Ji Yao understood what these gazes meant and immediately felt disgusted. When she heard the deliberately suppressed laughter around her, the smile on Ji Yao’s lips completely disappeared.

She looked at Chu An with a dark expression. She really couldn’t understand what Chu An saw in Gu Xiao to protect her in every way.

“Chu An, this isn’t something you can say to a girl, right?”

Ji Yao suppressed the anger in her heart and tried her best to speak to Chu An calmly.

Chu An rolled his eyes without any reservations at Ji Yao. “But to me, you’re not a girl.”

After saying that, as if it wasn’t enough, Chu An glanced at Ji Yao in disgust. “If you had the face, you wouldn’t be standing here now!”

“Chu An! You…” Before Ji Yao could finish speaking, she met Chu An’s bloodthirsty gaze. She instantly felt like a chicken being strangled and couldn’t speak at all.

She even felt that if she continued, Chu An would kill her without hesitation.

Even though she knew in her heart that this was a society governed by law and Chu An didn’t dare to make a move on her, her legs and stomach still trembled, and her heart was filled with panic.

Ji Yao glanced at Chu An in fear and left in fear, completely forgetting that she had come to show off to Gu Xiao.

After Ji Yao left, Gu Xiao reached out and patted Chu An’s arm comfortingly.

“Alright, she’s already gone. Control yourself a little.” Even the surrounding students felt that something was wrong.

Hearing Gu Xiao’s voice, Chu An lowered his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, the surging blood in his eyes had completely disappeared.

When he looked at Gu Xiao again, there was only deep admiration and attachment in his eyes.

“I just don’t like her showing off in front of you, even though I know you don’t care about those things..”
