Extra Chapter: Gu Pei and Qing Shuling 2

In the past, he might have easily pursued whichever girl he liked and wanted to date.

But Qin Shuling was different. She was his close friend's sister.

If Lingling only had a fleeting crush on him and things ended badly, wouldn't Qin Xian beat him to death?

Qin Shuling looked up at him with a serious expression. "Yes, Brother Gu Pei, I'm serious. I really like you. Can we try this together?"

Gu Pei stared at her, conflicted. But when he met her bright, earnest gaze, he couldn't bring himself to say no. After a long pause, he finally replied, "Okay."

Qin Shuling broke into a joyful smile and suddenly leapt up to hug him.

She was over the moon—Brother Gu Pei had agreed to be with her!

Caught off guard by her hug, Gu Pei quickly put his arms around her to steady her, feeling the warmth of her embrace through his shirt. His face heated up, even to his ears.

For a moment, he was taken aback.
