Chapter 100: Who’s More Important?
“Who is Gu Pei?”
Xie Chaochao took out the dagger that had been in her bag and showed it to Xu Shan. “The person who gave me this dagger. Didn’t you say that you wanted it too? When I see Brother Gu Pei again, I’ll ask him if he can sell one to you!”
Xu Shan was even more jealous. “So he gave you this dagger! I… I don’t want this kind of dagger anymore. It’s nothing special. When I am older, I’ll find a better one for you!”
Xie Chaochao didn’t understand what Xu Shan meant. She just played with the dagger. “I like this one. Brother Gu Pei left this for me. Brother Gu Pei said that when we meet in the future, this dagger will be a token. With this dagger, he will know that it’s me!”
“Brother Gu Pei, Brother Gu Pei, what’s so good about him? You’ve only known him for a few days. Besides, do you know his background? Do you know where he came from? Do you know what he’s doing now? Do you know if you still have a chance to meet him?”
When Xie Chaochao heard Xu Shan’s interrogation, she felt a little upset.
That’s right. She didn’t know where Brother Gu Pei was at the moment, nor did she know if he was injured again. She also didn’t know if they would meet again!
However, she really missed Brother Gu Pei!
“Brother Gu Pei is a great hero. He protects the country and protects us. We will definitely meet again in the future!”
Xie Chaochao shouted at Xu Shan and carefully put away the letter Gu Pei had written to her.
Actually, there was nothing important in the letter. Gu Pei only talked about some small matters that he had experienced during this period of time. He even said that he had seen the news in Shanbai Village and asked her if she was fine. He told her to study hard and not go to dangerous places.
However, Xie Chaochao wanted to reply to Gu Pei and tell him that she was fine and would study hard, but she didn’t know where to send the letter. She could only abandon this thought.
However, Xie Chaochao was still very happy to know that Brother Gu Pei had not forgotten her.
…
Xie Chaochao and Xu Shan quarreled again because of this letter. In the end, Xu Shan left Xie Chaochao’s class angrily.
For the next lesson, Xu Shan didn’t look for Xie Chaochao either.
In the afternoon, during the break before school ended, Fatty also realized that something was unusual.
He went to Xie Chaochao’s table and asked in a low voice, “Sister Chaochao, did you quarrel with Xu Shan?”
Xie Chaochao glanced at him and said, “When he heard me mention Brother Gu Pei, he got angry and ran away. I didn’t quarrel with him!”
Seeing how Xie Chaochao looked like she didn’t understand anything, Fatty felt a little more sympathy for Xu Shan. “Look, we’ve always been with you, but you’ve never praised us. Instead, you praised a man you’ve only met once. I think Xu Shan must be feeling indignant because of this, so he got angry!”
Xie Chaochao still didn’t understand. “Brother Gu Pei is a great hero who protects the country. I’m just telling the truth, not praising him! Also, I’ve praised Xu Shan before. I think he’s very smart and learns content very quickly!”
Fatty asked again, “Then who do you think is more important to you, your Brother Gu Pei or Xu Shan?”
Xie Chaochao hesitated and didn’t say anything for a long time. She seemed to be in a dilemma.
Fatty mourned for Xu Shan even more. He had been by Xie Chaochao’s side all day, but he was even less important than a man she had only met once. Fortunately, Xu Shan was not here. Otherwise, he would have been really heartbroken.
As he took a casual glance, Fatty’s eyes widened.
At some point, Xu Shan appeared behind the both of them. It seemed like he had heard their conversation. Of course, he had also seen Xie Chaochao’s conflicted expression.
