Chapter 1011: Afraid of Unexpected Plot Twists
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gong Zhan’s expression was unreadable, a masterclass in aloof composure. He withdrew his gaze, deliberately avoiding Lin Miao, and instead turned to give instructions to his subordinates.
However, his men couldn’t completely mask the flicker of curiosity in their eyes.
The patrol duty at the exam venue was traditionally assigned to new recruits, yet this year, their esteemed Deputy Commander had volunteered for the task. The buzz of speculation crackled like static electricity. Could it really be because of Lin Miao?
Most of them doubted it, preferring to believe it had more to do with Gu Zi. After all, the gossip mill churned out tales of how Gu Zi had once chased after the Deputy Commander relentlessly, only to be met with cold disdain. And now, Gu Zi was married, which made the whole situation even more implausible.
Despite being ignored, Lin Miao radiated self-assurance. She was convinced Gong Zhan was here because of her. He was simply still holding on to the grudges from before.
Once she aced the college entrance exams, she was sure their relationship would mend itself. After all, Gong Zhan had always been the reserved, stoic type—silent indifference was just part of his personality. She reassured herself with this narrative, settling into the warm cocoon of her confidence.
...
Around them, students were buzzing with envy, their whispers swirling like a cloud of intrigue.
Unable to hold back, Gong Xin, standing just behind Gong Zhan, rolled her eyes so dramatically it could have been seen from space. She strode up to Lin Miao and said bluntly, “My brother hasn’t even acknowledged you. Can’t you see? He’s definitely not here because of you!”
Without waiting for a reaction, Gong Xin turned on her heel and bounded over to Gu Zi, practically bouncing like an overexcited puppy. Clinging to Gu Zi’s arm, she gushed, “Wow, what a coincidence! You’re taking the exams here too? I’m just helping my brother out today, and look—we run into each other! This must be destiny.”
Gu Zi raised an elegant eyebrow, her lips quirking in a slightly awkward smile. Gong Xin’s flimsy excuse was as transparent as glass, but she didn’t call her out on it. “Haha, yeah, what a coincidence. There’s only one exam hall in this venue, after all,” she replied lightly.
Gong Xin, undeterred by Gu Zi’s subtle sarcasm, glanced sideways at Lin Miao, who was still trying to edge closer to Gong Zhan. She leaned in toward Gu Zi and whispered conspiratorially, “You better do well, okay? Do your best! Do your best! If you lose to Lin Miao, don’t even call yourself my friend.”
