Chapter 84: Still A Childhood Friend
Chapter 84: Still A Childhood Friend
Let alone other people, even Gu Yan turned around with a hint of interest in her eyes.
Gu Yan really didn’t know much about Lu Ye before he was 24.
For instance, Lu Ye would never tell Gu Yan about how the other women pursued him.
Even her previous life couldn’t be of help since Lu Ye didn’t end up with her, and Gu Yan didn’t bother to understand Lu Ye’s past either.
Seeing everyone’s attention on her, Guo Rou cleared her throat before speaking. “Rumor has it that Captain Lu has a friend who grew up with him. She had long expressed her feelings for him, and both their families looked favorably upon the pair. However, Captain Lu rejected her straight up and said that he only thought of her as a little sister. If she saw him as someone more than that, then they shouldn’t talk to each other again.”
“Why didn’t the captain accept her? They grew up together and both had a family with similar backgrounds. Could it be the girl was too ugly?” one female soldier asked.
Shen Jiayi looked at Gu Yan worriedly.
Gu Yan’s face appeared unbothered.
Guo Rou answered, “I haven’t seen her personally, but I heard she isn’t ugly at all. Do you know Bai Weiyang? Yes, the flower of the elites. She’s the prettiest girl in the First Empire Academy. Captain Lu’s childhood friend is on par with Bai Weiyang in terms of appearance.”
Everyone gasped.
Gu Yan’s expression didn’t change outwardly, but she took note of this information in her heart. As it turned out, Lu Ye had a childhood sweetheart.
During this time, Guo Rou continued, “However, although Captain Lu has never agreed, his family is quite fond of the girl. We just don’t know whether Captain Lu would succumb to pressure in the end. Later on, that childhood friend went abroad for training. After that, there has been a stream of girls who liked Captain Lu. Most of them are very shy and would ask people about him or ask someone else for help. Captain Lu rejected all of them directly. Sometimes, he didn’t even bother seeing those girls, and he was very adamant about rejecting them. A few girls even cried. Once, it’s alleged that a girl ran straight into Captain Lu’s arms. Guess what happened next? Captain Lu wrestled her onto the ground!”
“Oh my! Captain Lu attacked a girl!”
“Why can’t Captain Lu be nice about it?”
“True! In this aspect, Captain Lu can’t compare with Captain Lin.” The sharp-faced girl wanted to connect with Guo Rou and Lin Xiaoyu. Hence, she complimented Lin Haoran.
“You guys think men like Lin Haoran are good?” Gu Yan suddenly asked in a calm tone.
Guo Rou’s interest was piqued. “Gu Yan, do you have any other opinions?”
At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu, Zhang Cuihua, and a few other girls entered the door. Despite having newcomers in the room, Gu Yan still answered Guo Rou collectedly.
“First, I admit that in terms of combat power, Captain Lin is a very excellent soldier. However, his attitude is a bit improper whenever girls reveal how they favor him.”
Shen Jiayi, fearing Gu Yan would get into trouble, pulled the latter.
Lin Xiaoyu’s face wasn’t too good right now. She walked over and spoke in an unpleasant tone. “What’s wrong with my brother’s attitude?”
“He has a fiance, so obviously, he should not raise other girls’ hope and keep his distance from them. He shouldn’t also say that he was worried about them in a gentle tone and fail to reject them completely. This would give the other girls the illusion that they might have a chance.”
