Gou An turned expressionlessly and walked into the mall. She continued shopping, even though the man following behind her was so eye-catching that every passerby would look at him curiously or in amazement…

Then they would naturally turn their gaze to her.

She held her head high throughout the whole process, her chest out, looking like a proud little peacock who said, ‘You can look at me as you like’.

Gou An walked around for a while. Before even buying jewelry as she originally intended, she was already tired just from looking at clothes and shoes. Her legs ached a little as she walked. Then she heard someone behind her say, “I’ll help you carry it.”

He was talking about the shopping bags in her hands.

“No,” she refused decisively. “Go away.”

“I can’t leave,” Ye Lang said. “It’s my job to watch over you.”

“Really? Don’t worry, your job won’t last more than 48 hours. I’ll get you fired when I get back—”

As she spoke, she tilted her head and inadvertently caught sight of the blurry figure behind her reflected against the window: his steps steady and full of energy.

She paused, and she moved her lips, silently cursing ‘Bastard’.

Just then, she passed by a famous ice cream shop in Jiangcheng. While she was considering whether to go in and have an ice cream, maybe take a break for a while, she saw Lu Wan working in the shop.

Oh, right. She works here in the CW Shopping Center. Those gossipers in school forum mentioned it before.

The person following behind her had already fallen silent, so Gou An turned around to look at him—

At this moment, Ye Lang had turned his head slightly, and his calm, black eyes was looking at the busy person through the glass window. He finally shifted his gaze away from Gou An; eyes that been fixed on her from beginning, ever since they entered the doors of CW shopping mall.

Gou An couldn’t explain how she felt right now.

Probably something like wanting to give this pair of neighbors from the derelict tube building, living such inspirational lives, a good, solid beating on the spot.

“If you like watching, just go in and take a look.”

Before he could react, she had already spoken in a sarcastic tone.

She watched as Ye Lang froze for a moment, then he turned his gaze back to her, and that look he gave her—

She pursed her lips. What was that look?? Is he making it out like I’ve done something wrong and was bullying others?

Gou An, carrying a lot of shopping bags, pushed the door open and entered the ice cream shop.

… …

Across the cashier counter, Lu Wan was stunned when she saw her.

The person behind the cashier counter, being urged to get ice cream quickly, stood there in a daze…

It must be said, it was also difficult for Gou An to stand outside the cashier counter alone—even if the difficulty was that she had too many shopping bags in her hands. Perhaps she forgot to put them down, but she held all these luxury brand-name shopping bags and struggled with flipping through the list of ice cream varieties.

The ice cream here was very expensive; the basic version was close to 200 yuan. Gou An ordered a melon version—an imported soft-serve ice cream, the hollow middle filled with milk ice cream, and topped with edible gold foil—for 288 yuan.

Lu Wan has been working here for a long time, but there were no employee benefits. In order to prevent the recipe from leaking, the store manager even has to clean the ice cream machine himself every day. Employees didn’t have the chance to taste the ice cream that sold tens of thousands of yuan every day.

And at this moment, the Ye Lang she knew stood behind Gou An as a protector.

In Lu Wan’s opinion, it seemed as if all the good things in the world were gathered around this girl the same age as her—

She got them as effortlessly as she got that nearly three hundred yuan ice cream.

It was hard not to be envious.

She didn’t know that she had already revealed some emotions on her face. Girls of this age were actually not very good at hiding their thoughts. They would be jealous and sad. This was very normal.

Lu Wan’s eyes flickered and her mood was complicated. Overall, she probably felt a little embarrassed.

While Gou An was standing by and waiting, she saw Ye Lang and Lu Wan’s eyes meet. Although she knew that this was none of her business and she should walk away, since it concerned Ye Lang, she couldn’t help it.

“What’s wrong? Did you meet someone you know?” She asked knowingly, and kicked the tip of Ye Lang’s shoe. “Want to chat for a while?”

Aren’t you embarrassed?

One was working part-time and the other was a bodyguard.

They were both serving the person they hated the most, and they met in such an awkward situation, wow.

A system cat in her mind was sighing, reading out her sins.

As a vicious female supporting character, Gou An, who has started her life over, had rarely taken the initiative to provoke the heroine. The only time she caused trouble for her was probably the matter of the scholarship.

She has never done such blatant provocation as now.

At this moment, Miss Gou, with a smile on her face, didn’t think too much. She felt uncomfortable just looking at the two of them standing together and breathing the same air in the same room.

It was like there was always someone dancing flamboyantly next to her with a banner that read: You are so stupid!!

Look at them, their gazes full of meaning. Look how stupid you were that you didn’t notice it before!

Really stupid.

Lu Wan did not take the initiative to talk to Ye Lang because it was time to change shifts, and the person who would replace her urged her to exchange her work badge quickly.

Lu Wan murmured “Okay,” in a low voice.

Gou An’s ice cream also arrived. When she got her ice cream and was about to ignore the two bastards and turn away, she suddenly heard a hoarse male voice, “Are you off work now?”

Gou An paused.

Of course, this was not a question directed to her.

Turning back, she saw Ye Lang take out his cell phone, then point at the ice cream in Gou An’s hand and said expressionlessly, “I want the same one.”

Gou An: “?”

Lu Wan: “Ah?”

Ye Lang shook his phone and said, “You try it too. You’ve worked hard.”

Lu Wan was stunned.

But before she could open her mouth to refuse, someone had already responded—

Standing next to the two of them, Gou An lowered her head to look at the ice cream in her hand, hesitated for just a moment, and then put it down.

Then, in the next second, with lightning speed, she picked up the cup with ice cream remnants on the table next to her and without hesitation threw them at Ye Lang!

With a ‘pop!’, the soupy, melted ice cream mixed with strawberry jam or something similar splashed on the bodyguard’s dark suit and chin!

The sudden uproar only took a moment.

No one reacted.

Even passers-by inside the store were stunned.

Ye Lang put down his phone and turned around, only to see Miss Gou standing beside him with her arms folded. She said with a cold face, “Go back and change your clothes. Don’t embarrass yourself here.”
