When Gu Xiao heard Chu An’s words, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“You were the one who helped me improve my results. 1 can’t even thank you enough. How can 1 be angry?”

When Chu An heard this, his eyes lit up, and he inched closer to Gu Xiao.

“Really?”

Gu Xiao nodded affirmatively. “Of course!”

Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Chu An was satisfied and took out the gift he had prepared.

“How could 1 forget to prepare a gift for such an important matter?” As he spoke, Chu An placed the gift on the other party’s desk.

Gu Xiao’s gaze lingered on the gift box and Chu An several times before she picked up the gift and opened it under the other party’s expectant gaze.

There was a necklace lying quietly on the EVA?. Below the necklace was a pendant of a moon hugging a star. If one looked carefully, they could see five small diamonds on the five corners of the star.

The entire design was grand but simple, which suited Gu Xiao’s taste.

“How is it? Do you like it?”

Gu Xiao accepted the necklace and nodded at Chu An with a smile. “Of course I like it.”

Hearing this, Chu An laughed.

Ji Yao, who had been secretly paying attention to Gu Xiao, naturally saw this scene that hurt her eyes.

She didn’t understand why Chu An had taken a fancy to Gu Xiao when he clearly didn’t like anyone before. If it were anyone else, perhaps she wouldn’t be so jealous, but this person just had to be Gu Xiao. She was someone she wished didn’t exist in this world!

After the day’s class ended, Ji Yao left the classroom first. When all the students in the classroom left, Ji Yao appeared in the already empty classroom again.

She walked to Gu Xiao’s desk naturally and looked at the neatly piled books on the desk. She pursed her lips in disdain.

Then, she bent down and carefully searched the contents of Gu Xiao’s desk. She even reached out and rummaged through Gu Xiao’s desk.

When her hand touched something hard, she paused, then brought it out.

Seeing the fountain pen that she kept remembering yesterday in her hand, Ji Yao smiled.

“I didn’t expect there to be an unexpected gain,” Ji Yao muttered to herself.

Initially, she only wanted to mess up Gu Xiao’s desk and pour a bottle of ink or throw something else into it. However, she did not expect Gu Xiao to not carry this fountain pen around with her.

In that case, don’t blame her.

Ji Yao looked up and glanced at the surveillance camera in the classroom. Then, she raised her hand slightly and loosened her grip. The fountain pen fell and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

The cap of the fountain pen fell out. Ji Yao bent down and picked up the fountain pen to take a look. As expected of something worth hundreds of thousands. The quality seemed to be good. It was not even damaged with such treatment.

Ji Yao raised her eyebrows and let the pen fall to the ground again.

This time, without the protection of the pen cap and Ji Yao deliberately letting it fall vertically, the tip of the pen made of gold was completely bent and could not be used anymore.

Ji Yao picked up the fountain pen and carefully sized it up. After confirming that it was broken, she nodded in satisfaction.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she picked up the pen cap and replaced it. She placed the broken fountain pen on Gu Xiao’s desk.

If she couldn’t get it, no one else could!

Ji Yao smiled and left the classroom quickly.

The next day, when Gu Xiao came to the classroom, she did her homework in advance as usual. When she needed to write, she subconsciously took out the fountain pen that Ji Chen gave her.

However, when she opened the lid of the pen, she saw that the tip of the pen was completely broken.

Gu Xiao’s face instantly darkened. Chu An sensed that something was wrong and also turned his head. “What’s wrong? What happened…” Before Chu An could finish his sentence, he saw the broken fountain pen in Gu Xiao’s hand and immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He knew how much Gu Xiao liked this fountain pen. She liked it even more than the necklace he gave her.

If not for the fact that it was difficult to carry a fountain pen everywhere with her, he would have guessed that Gu Xiao would carry this fountain pen with her all the time.

But now… this pen was broken.
