Gu Luoxi sniffled. "I didn't do anything. My sister sided with an outsider instead of her own family."
As she spoke, Gu Luoxi shot Shen Zhizhi an indignant look.
Shen Zhizhi stuck her tongue out at Gu Luoxi.
"All you do is parrot things. What do you think you are, a myna? Even my pet myna doesn't tattle as much as you!" Shen Zhizhi said, utterly exasperated.
When Gu Bai realized Shen Zhizhi was involved in this matter too...
His expression darkened instantly. "Gu Luoxi, have you become this immature? Stirring up trouble everywhere."
Gu Luoxi: ?
She still had injuries on her face. How had she become the troublemaker?
And... hadn't Second Brother always liked her best?
Besides, Gu Luoxi could vaguely sense that his affection hadn't been purely brotherly.
But why did it now... feel as though something had quietly changed?
"Second Brother, how could you say that about me?" Tears streamed down Gu Luoxi's pretty face. She was about to cling to her brother's arm and wheedle, but Gu Bai stepped straight back and walked over to Shen Zhizhi's side.
"Enough. Stop making a scene. Zhizhi is a good girl. Besides, she's still in school and has a very innocent mind. She's no match for you, so stop trying to smear her here," Gu Bai said coldly.
Those words chilled Gu Luoxi to the core.
"Second Brother, don't you like me anymore?" Gu Luoxi felt miserable. If she couldn't even rely on Gu Bai now, what cards did she have left?
"No," Gu Bai answered bluntly.
Gu Luosheng watched at her leisure. This wasn't the time for her to speak; she only needed to enjoy the drama.
She had just asked the system whom Second Brother would choose.
She hadn't expected to get her answer so soon.
