From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 175 - 87: The Gu Family’s Three Little Bears
Yi’s expression turned a little strange, and he said, "Don’t mention it, a lot of people thought you two were a couple, right? Back in school, we always saw you together after class. I even thought you really liked her... You, really have no feelings?"
Gu Ningxuan rolled his eyes helplessly and explained, "She said she had questions she didn’t understand in class and came to ask me, didn’t she? How could I possibly be cold to the daughter of my late mother’s best friend? She had questions, so of course, I answered them."
Yi became even more conflicted. It seemed everyone except Gu Ningxuan thought that this guy and that woman were mutually in love. So today, when he saw Gu Ningxuan’s cousin holding the girlfriend who should have belonged to Gu Ningxuan, it shattered a lot of students’ expectations. As Gu Ningxuan’s friend, Yi was furious, almost starting a fight then and there.
"Looks like we misunderstood." Yi muttered, thinking his friend would be sad, but now it seems he was overthinking, "Even though this is the truth, seeing her change attitude so fast... still feels a bit annoying."
That woman, when Gu Ningxuan was still at school, was so proactive, acting like she and Gu Ningxuan were childhood friends or an engaged couple, sticking herself to him all the time. Once Gu Ningxuan got expelled, she immediately fell into someone else’s arms.
Gu Ningxuan chuckled lightly and said, "No need to be angry over a stranger, Yi, you worry too much."
Yi didn’t agree with his friend’s words in his heart, his worries were absolutely necessary! But since they rarely had a video chat, there was no need to waste it on these trivial matters. Only then did he notice that the place Gu Ningxuan was at had changed... and it seemed pretty nice.
When Gu Ningxuan was kicked out of his family, his situation was dire. Yi had thought about secretly supporting him, but Gu Ningxuan, with his stubborn temper, directly refused his offer, saying he needed to rely on himself and couldn’t depend on friends for a lifetime.
Actually, to Yi, Gu Ningxuan was just creating problems for himself, making things harder than they needed to be.
However, Yi respected Gu Ningxuan’s choice; whatever path Gu Ningxuan chose, he would support. But watching his friend seemingly go through a lifetime of bad luck in such a short time, it made him feel sorry for Gu Ningxuan.
Gu Ningxuan was a leader among their generation, whether in character, moral standing, or family background; everything was impeccable. Growing up in such privileged conditions, how could he possibly adapt to such a harsh life?
Even though he knew that Gu Ningxuan, despite losing the "Gu Family’s son" aura, could still live well with his own hands, as a friend who grew up with him, he still couldn’t let it go. Furthermore, to this day, he couldn’t believe that Gu Ningxuan had made such a mistake; it was unimaginable. It was so different from the Gu Ningxuan he knew.
"If you, this guy, could be a little less worrisome, I wouldn’t have to be so anxious." Yi mumbled discontentedly.
Although he was in a strange environment, his mood was very calm. Sitting up to look at the things Guan Changxi bought, Gu Ningxuan’s mouth twitched a bit. He couldn’t decide whether to be grateful for this robot treating him well or to blame him for deliberately messing with him...
After taking a shower, Gu Ningxuan put on a clean bathrobe and walked out, sitting on a small chair in the training room, staring blankly at the equipment.
The training room was separated from his living room by a thick defensive glass. Although it posed no real barrier to him, at this moment, he could only look but not approach, let alone destroy it.
Sometimes, life can be so deceiving. When you have everything and the resources are yours to enjoy, you take it for granted and never think about why you have them, treating them as burdens weighing you down.
And when you lose your identity and everything, looking back, you realize how good the life you once had was...
Like many ordinary boys, Gu Ningxuan had a rebellious phase in his early teens, though his came a little earlier than most. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Under the expectations and pressure from his father, grandfather, and the entire family, and with his two elder brothers irresponsibly running away, Gu Ningxuan, the most gifted of his generation, bore unimaginable pressure.
Every day, he woke up to face all kinds of training and studies, all types of indoctrinating education about respecting the elderly and loving the young, loving the family, and not learning from his two brothers’ failures... Even when he closed his eyes, he had to go online to receive special lessons.
