I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Lin Anxin’s delicate voice came from not too far away. “Eating at a different spot is a nice change of scenery. Besides, doesn’t that window up front looks like it will give a better view? And we can see when our bus arrives as well.”

The others didn’t really agree with her. All of the others had the competition in mind right now and just couldn’t care less about where to sit to have breakfast and how good the view was.

At this very moment, however, a male’s voice rang, “Okay, let’s go over there then.”

With the boy’s buy in, the others no longer object to it.

And that was how the “run in” happened.

“Eh? Isn’t that Lin Xi from our school before?” shouted Lin Anxin as she pointed in Gu Xi’s direction.

Lin Anxin’s voice successfully had those from Liming looking over at Gu Xi and also successfully had those from HSAU looked over at them.

The two schools had never ceased to compete with each other on examinations and competitions.

This very moment, when the competitors ran into each other, the atmosphere was peculiar.

Lin Anxin seemed to be the only one who didn’t feel awkward.

“I didn’t have the wrong person, did I?” She continued to act surprised and asked the person next to her.

Gu Xi had no idea how the Lin family settled the issue with Lin Anxin having conflict with someone else and ended up being pushed into the pond. It was apparently that Lin Anxin had regained her status as a popular girl.

Gu Xi, however, found her poor acting embarrassing.

Gu Xi couldn’t think of any reason other than Lin Anxin making a scene intentionally in order to get attention from both sides.

And, she was right. Lin Anxin was doing it on purpose. When Lin Anxin heard from the other two students that they had run into Gu Xi yesterday, she was surprised but she was also obsessed with wanting to revenge Gu Xi and to exposed Gu Xi’s infamous past in front of her new schoolmates.

Lin Anxin found out that those from HSAU was dining over here. That was the reason she directed those from her school over this way.

“That is her.”

Lin Anxin waited till someone agreed with her before she started walking toward Gu Xi.

“Senior Lin Xi, long time no see.

“I thought you are overseas. So you transferred to a different school?” Having said that, Lin Anxin covered her mouth in surprise, “Was it because of the ru….”

Lin Anxin was cut off by Gu Chenyi before she could finish what she was saying.

“Where did this brain dead come from? Can you not yak around here?” Gu Chenyi’s voice was lazy but the look in his eyes was intimidating.

Lin Anxin stiffened a little. She was taken aback for a few seconds when she looked over at Gu Chenyi. Blushing a little, she quickly put on a delicate, pitiful, and fragile look. “I only wanted to see if I have the right person when I saw my senior who attended my school in the past.”

Her look, however, only gave Gu Chenyi the creep.

“Oh yeah? Then you” have the wrong person.

Gu Chenyi wasn’t done talking when Gu Xi tucked at his arm.

Gu Xi looked away from her plate, looked up, and gave Lin Anxin a fake smile. “You have the right person.”

Under the curious look from around her, Gu Xi went on, “But my name is not Lin Xi. It’s Gu Xi.”

Now it was Lin Anxin’s turn to be speechless. Her intention was use that as a lead in to bring out Gu Xi’s past scandals of plagiarism, cheating, and other inappropriate behaviors. Albeit the fact that she made up most of those but as long as she blurted them out now and with the other students from Liming as the “witnesses”, at least some of Gu Xi’s schoolmates from HSAU would buy them.

She had expected that Gu Xi would just admit to it so openly.

“But, but why? Did you change your name because” of the scandals?

Gu Xi cut her off before Lin Anxin could finish her sentence.

“My surname is Gu because that my father’s surname. As for why my surname was Lin in the past. Welp, that is a long story.” Gu Xi blinked, then changed the direction of the conversation. “I can, however, summarize the story. We will have to start with the cliché stories that transpired between Madam Song and Mr. back many years ago……”
