Gu Yining lowered her head awkwardly, hesitating for a moment before saying, "But I can only give my phone number to my girlfriend."
Gu Wenxuan immediately felt tricked. Was there really such an innocent boy in the world?
Only giving his number to his girlfriend? Who was he trying to fool?
With a scoff, she turned her head away and pulled Yang Qin along, muttering, "I've seen plenty of guys who play the 'only-give-my-number-to-my-girlfriend' game. You look pretty naïve; I didn't expect you to have such depth."
However, Yang Qin hesitated to leave. She was determined to get this boy, Gu Chen's number, and even more, she wanted to be his girlfriend.
A cute boy who looked so tender he could make anyone swoon? Taking him out would be a total bragging right.
"Wenxuan, if you're not interested, can I…" Yang Qin tentatively nudged her elbow against Gu Wenxuan's, her eyes still glued to Gu Yining, sparkling with desire.
Gu Yining didn't mind; whether Yang Qin or Gu Wenxuan got close to him was the same for her.
Gu Wenxuan shot Yang Qin a disdainful glare. "Have you never seen a man before? Look at the way you're acting."
He was just a handsome guy; did she really need to lose her mind over him?
Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao sat quietly, waiting for her moment.
Finally, she seized the opportunity.
"Gu Chen, over here! Look at me! I like you so much, and I want to be your girlfriend. Can you give me your number?" Xiao Xiao bounced out like an excited rabbit.
Gu Yining nearly burst out laughing at her overly enthusiastic demeanor.
Having this backup was perfect timing.
Gu Yining looked at Xiao Xiao knowingly. "Miss, you're so cute!"
"Hey! Do you think I'd be a good girlfriend?" Xiao Xiao shyly lowered her eyes, fully embracing the act of innocent seduction.
Yang Qin was confused about where this girl had popped up from. Coming in and trying to steal her boy? There was no way she would let that slide.
"Gu Chen, I'm Yang Qin. I play guitar really well. We could jam together sometime!" she said, trying to regain her foothold.
"Gu Chen, Gu Chen, I'm a level 10 pianist!" Xiao Xiao raised her hand, trying to interject, shoving forward like a frantic shopper at a sale.
She was practically about to tumble into Gu Yining's arms.
Gu Wenxuan had been sizing Xiao Xiao up for a while.
Wasn't this the daughter of the Xiao family, the one who had been getting close to Gu Yining recently?
Gu Yining had taken away Fu Hanyan, and now her friend was here trying to steal a boy from her in a bubble tea shop.
Even though she had no particular feelings for Gu Chen, her pride was at stake.
She had to have this boy.
Gu Wenxuan reached out and pulled Xiao Xiao, who was about to leap into Gu Yining's embrace, to the side and positioned herself directly in front of Gu Yining.
The two girls were now face-to-face, the afternoon sunlight casting soft shadows on their features.
Gu Yining's flawless skin reflected in Gu Wenxuan's eyes, and she couldn't help but swallow hard. A boy as delicate, clean, and handsome as Gu Yining was indeed rare.
Gu Yining felt a little flustered.
What was Gu Wenxuan up to? Was she about to kiss him outright?
She wasn't ready for anything that bold.
"Miss, um… what are you trying to do?" Gu Yining pretended to be innocent, blinking her bright eyes and shrinking back a little.
Gu Wenxuan spread her hands in front of her. "Just give me your phone number."
Seeing her 'man' was about to be taken away, Xiao Xiao squeezed in, pushing Gu Wenxuan aside. "Get away! He's the one I have my eyes on!"
Gu Wenxuan shot a furious glare at Yang Qin. "Grab this crazy girl! Don't let her mess up my plans!"
The three girls, all vying for the same boy, set the stage for a dramatic showdown, each determined to come out on top in this battle of hearts.
