Chapter 2: Bodyguard and nanny, it’s hard to tell them apart 02
"Where's Gu Rong? Why didn't he come to class today?" Amy looked around but still didn't see Gu Rong's unruly figure.
Su Jingjing fiddled with her phone and showed the text message to Amy: "He said he won't come to class. He's in a bad mood."
Amy smiled sarcastically, narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully: "It turns out that he still knows how to save face. I thought that Gu Rong had long disdained the concept of 'face'!"
"what does it mean?"
Amy glanced at Su Jingjing, then pointed at Qingyuan next to her and said, "That's her."
"You said Gu Rong didn't come to class because of Qingyuan?" Su Jingjing looked at Qingyuan in surprise, and then whispered as if she was lost in thought: "So he cares about Qingyuan so much."
Amy looked at Su Jingjing speechlessly: "How did I say that Gu Rong cares about her? What I meant is that Gu Rong felt that the last incident made him lose face, so he hid away."
"So that's how it is!" Su Jingjing immediately became happy, her emotions so mixed that it seemed abnormal , "That's what I told you."
Amy carefully looked at Su Jingjing's expression, squinted her eyes and leaned close to her and asked in a low voice: " Are in love with Gu Rong?"
"I'll take the roll before class." The teacher stood in front of the podium with the roll-call book in his hand, interrupting Amy's question and giving Su Jingjing time to get rid of the heat on her cheeks.
"Amy?"
"Here!" Amy raised her hand and stuck out her tongue at Su Jingjing.
"Gu Rong?"
Su Jingjing looked at the "Mistress Miejue" mentioned by her senior classmates, and was so nervous that she didn't know what to do. She could only bite the bullet and answer, "Here!"
“Mistress Miejue” looked at Su Jingjing, then at the roll call list, and asked, “Is your name Gu Rong?”
"I am Gu Rong." Su Jingjing looked at "Master Miejue" with a firm gaze, as if hypnotizing her.
"Mistress Miejue" slapped her pen and asked, "What's her name? Where's the monitor? Stand up and speak."
The male monitor pushed up his glasses, looked at Su Jingjing calmly, and said without any sympathy or compassion: "Su Jingjing."
"What about Gu Rong?"
While the monitor was silent, Su Jingjing quickly interrupted and said, "I am Gu Rong. I exchanged souls with Su Jingjing today."
…
The whole class was silent for three seconds, and then burst into laughter, the sound so loud that it could be heard echoing in the room for three days.
Even the usually serious "Mistress Miejue" laughed, but she was just laughing because she was angry.
"Should I contact a medical school for you two? If your souls could really be exchanged, how much contribution could you two make to mankind? The country would definitely award you two prizes." She said sarcastically.
"You!" After hearing Su Jingjing's words, Amy couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, looking desperate.
Su Jingjing stood there, looking down at the other students, and then looked at Amy in confusion.
"Mistress Miejue" made the final decision, pointed at Su Jingjing and said, "You, take the one who can exchange souls with you, and go to your counselor's office."
After the "soul swap" incident, Su Jingjing and Gu Rong became famous in the school. Classmates even uploaded the conversation between Su Jingjing and "Mi Xue Shi Tai" on the forum, and the post remained popular.
Classmates would also make jokes about Gu Rong when they met, asking "Did you exchange souls with Su Jingjing today?" or "Are you Gu Rong or Su Jingjing today?"
This was a great shame and humiliation for Gu Rong. Gu Rong didn't like going to class in the first place, and this time he found an excuse to stay indoors. Anyway, the old Gu family was far away from the emperor, so this monkey began to act like a tyrant.
"Gu Rong, are you going to class today?" Su Jingjing originally wanted to go to the library to study with her schoolbag, but she met Gu Rong who was walking out on the way, so she hurried to catch up with him.
When Gu Rong saw that it was Su Jingjing, he became even more annoyed. He didn't even bother to look at her. He just waved his hand and said, "No."
"But it's not good for you to skip classes all the time, right? Many teachers have called your name." Su Jingjing followed Gu Rong with her schoolbag on her back.
Gu Rong stopped at the school gate, pointed at Su Jingjing and said solemnly: "I'm giving you money, not asking you to interfere in my affairs. You just need to be responsible for reporting to my dad on time."
"But……"
"Here it is." Gu Rong looked past Su Jingjing and waved happily towards the distance, while whispering to Su Jingjing: "Don't talk nonsense."
Su Jingjing turned around and found that there were several luxury cars parked not far from the school gate, one of which was bright red and hard to ignore. When several people saw Gu Rong, they got out of the car, with neat hair and expensive clothes, and their expressions seemed to be disdainful of everything. Su Jingjing didn't think they were bad people, but she felt that they were not good either. Although they were dressed similarly to Gu Rong, the expression in their eyes was different from Gu Rong's.
"My friend is here to play with me, so I won't go to class today." Gu Rong wanted to bypass Su Jingjing and go to meet her.
Su Jingjing stood in front of Gu Rong and said, "I think your friends are weird."
When Gu Rong heard Su Jingjing's words, he first took out sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, then said with a weird smile: "Aren't all my friends weird? Otherwise, how could I have you around me!"
"You said I was your friend?"
"You reacted pretty quickly at this time." Gu Rong looked at Su Jingjing through his sunglasses in surprise, "But I was saying that you are weird, not that you are my friend. You missed the point."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving." Gu Rong walked away quickly.
Su Jingjing watched Gu Rong approach them and then get in the car. She did not turn back until the cars merged into the skyline and disappeared completely.
The sky in the distance was dyed blood red by the setting sun. The red glow sprinkled on their faces, and this moment seemed to be the most beautiful picture in their lives. The car sped past, and it was gone in an instant. Su Jingjing listened to the roar in her ears, as if her heart had followed Gu Rong.
She was worried about Gu Rong. That group of people was really weird. Maybe because her social circle was too narrow and the people around her were too fixed, Su Jingjing was particularly sensitive to some people. She knew that although Gu Rong liked to bully her for no reason, Gu Rong was not a bad person by nature, but Su Jingjing felt that that group of people were not the same as Gu Rong.
Since Gu Rong started playing with that group of friends, he began to change. For those teachers who liked to call the roll, he would always find the last row to sit and sleep. As for the ones that were not strict, he would definitely run away. But other aspects were also different from before, that is, he rarely bossed Su Jingjing around, and most of the time he sat in the last row to sleep.
"What's wrong with that guy? Why does he look like he's going into hibernation early?" Even Amy noticed the change in Gu Rong.
Su Jingjing shook her head honestly: "I don't know either."
"He's so confused every day. Did you have a fight?" Since when, Amy felt that the relationship between Su Jingjing and Gu Rong was unusual, and they were always tied together for no reason.
"No." Su Jingjing herself was also confused.
During the lunch break at noon, Gu Rong pulled Su Jingjing over and came to a dark corner where few people passed by, looking as if he wanted to ask a favor of her.
"What's wrong?" Su Jingjing felt that Gu Rong seemed to be speechless today.
Gu Rong rubbed his hands and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Do you have money? I've been spending money too quickly recently and I don't have any left."
"How much did you spend?" Su Jingjing asked as she took out her wallet.
Gu Rong was silent for a while before saying, "One year's living expenses."
Su Jingjing's wallet fell to the ground. She looked at Gu Rong in disbelief and asked, "Did you spend it all?"
"Yes." Gu Rong picked up Su Jingjing's wallet, dusted it off and handed it to Su Jingjing, "Here."
"Did you spend it with your group of friends?" Su Jingjing asked carefully, fearing that she would displease Gu Rong.
Gu Rong licked his dry lips and nodded although he didn't say anything.
Su Jingjing grabbed Gu Rong's arm and said nervously, "Gu Rong, you can't do this. Your father will be worried about you. I think if you are a true friend, you won't let you spend all your living expenses."
"Don't mention my dad!" Whenever Gu Rong mentioned his father , he would be full of hostility like a fighting rooster.
"Are you going to lend it to me or not?" he asked irritably.
Su Jingjing thought about it and finally chose to shake her head.
Gu Rong stared, nodded fiercely, and his breathing became louder: "Okay, Su Jingjing. I will figure it out myself. Bye!"
"Gu..." Su Jingjing looked at Gu Rong's resolute back, feeling so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Gu Rong's back was like an iceberg, emitting a cold chill in the dark corridor of the teaching building; even his footsteps sounded like they were frozen.
