Chapter 81 Coincidental Encounter (1)_1
"Who’s been sad for a while? Why don’t I know about it?" Shangguan You stepped out of the fitting room and was instantly surrounded by Gui Jun and his two siblings; these three were all close friends of Shangguan Qing. Aside from Gui Mo, who had distinctive ’peach blossom eyes’ and was also part of their circle, she knew the other three well. In the past, she loved to follow Shangguan Qing around. Whenever Shangguan Qing and his group got into fights or mischief, she’d bring a stool and watch the excitement from the side.
Although some may not have liked her, everyone treated the doll-like Shangguan You as a princess they adored. Whether it was the Yu Family’s Crown Prince or the Zhang Family’s young master, everyone in the compound had grown up roughhousing together.
Their families held conflicting political views, and the young ’princes’ and ’princesses’ of these families were influenced from childhood, competing in everything and opposing each other in all matters. But when it came to Shangguan You, everyone inexplicably protected her from harm. The kidnapping incident a year ago had been so thoroughly hushed up that, aside from the few directly involved, almost no one knew about it. Now, seeing her again, they naturally had to make a fuss.
"Girl, you really are heartless," Gui Jun said, his handsome face breaking into a light smile. "We grew up together; you shouldn’t forget that. We were so close, practically sharing everything! We always protected you, treated you like a princess, pampered and spoiled you, afraid you’d get even slightly hurt. But you, you heartless girl, you left without even saying goodbye. If my family hadn’t held me back, I would have followed you wherever you went."
"Brother Jun, would you really have followed me anywhere?" Shangguan You looked at Gui Jun’s familiar yet unfamiliar face, her lips twitching. Wearing the same pants growing up? Good thing I have a strong heart, or I’d have been floored by that. Still, she was moved by their candid nature. She had been protected too well in the past; because of that excessive protection, when that incident happened, she had completely withdrawn.
"Naturally," Gui Jun nodded. Gui Mo and Gui Luo, standing beside him, both shook their heads slightly, looking at their older cousin as if he were a stranger.
"Youyou, didn’t I ask you to wait for me when you came back that day? How could you leave me and return alone?" Gui Mo’s peach blossom eyes flickered as he squeezed next to Shangguan You, his voice somewhat aggrieved.
Shangguan You inwardly rolled her eyes. Gui Mo is Gui Jun’s cousin. I’d never met this kid before. Why on earth did he suddenly transfer to B City to be in my class?
