Yan Shanshan slowly walked to his side, quietly looking at him with complex emotions in her eyes: grievance, resentment, anger, and a hint of expectation.

"Beicheng." Yan Shanshan called his name softly. Gu Beicheng raised his head slightly, looking at her with hazy eyes, as if he did not recognize who the person in front of him was. She knew that he was very drunk.

"Beicheng, do you know? I've been looking for you. I was so worried about you." Yan Shanshan's voice was full of concern. Looking at Gu Beicheng's dejected appearance, her heart ached.

Yan Shanshan spoke up for Gu Beicheng, saying, "I know what Yan Siming did. How could he betray you! You used to be so good to him."

"Don't mention him to me! Yan Siming! That scoundrel! He doesn't deserve to be my brother!" Upon hearing the name Yan Siming, Gu Beichen immediately perked up.

Yan Shanshan quickly comforted him, "Okay, let's not mention him. As for Beichen, let's not torture each other like this anymore, okay? We can start over, we can go back to the good old days."

Gu Beichen's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. Yan Shanshan was overjoyed; Gu Beichen hadn't chased her away, which meant he still cared about her. Yan Shanshan continued speaking.

"Beicheng, I know we have many problems, but as long as we work together, we can definitely solve them. We loved each other so much, and we can definitely find that love again."

Yan Shanshan's tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. "Do you still remember the days we spent together? Those beautiful memories, have you forgotten them all?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Gu Beichen's eyes, as if he were recalling bits and pieces of the past. When Yan Shanshan saw his reaction, a glimmer of hope welled up in her heart.

She leaned gently on Gu Beicheng's shoulder and continued, "Beicheng, I love you. I've always loved you, and that has never changed."

Please believe me, we can get through this difficult time together, Beicheng. In the end, I'll be the only one by your side.

Perhaps it was the last sentence that touched Gu Beicheng's heart, for his emotions gradually calmed down. "Shanshan," Gu Beicheng finally spoke, his voice hoarse and low, "I'm sorry."

Yan Shanshan hugged Gu Beicheng tightly and said, "No, Beicheng, you didn't do anything wrong to me. We were both wrong. We were both too impulsive. But now, we can start over."

After saying that, Yan Shanshan offered her red lips, and Gu Beichen responded with a kiss, holding Yan Shanshan tightly. An ambiguous atmosphere surrounded the two of them, and they kissed passionately.

And just like that, the two got back together.

Perhaps to prove something, Gu Beichen treated Yan Shanshan even better than before, and the two were seen showing affection everywhere on campus, showering everyone with their love.

Yan Shanshan even kindly sent photos of the two of them to Shen Chumo, saying in a teasing tone, "Sister, Gu Beicheng and I have a very good relationship. Now that you have broken off your engagement, stay away from Gu Beicheng from now on."

When Shen Chumo saw these photos at the hospital, she almost burst out laughing. As the saying goes, the less someone has, the more they like to show off. If Yan Shanshan and Gu Beicheng's relationship were truly solid, she wouldn't need to post these photos to demonstrate her strength. Essentially, it's because Yan Shanshan lacks confidence in holding onto Gu Beicheng.

Yan Shanshan was overjoyed after getting back together with Gu Beichen, and she was beaming for several days in a row. Then, she dug out items from her home that were filled with memories of her and Lu Ziyin and placed them on her desk.

With a tender look in her eyes filled with reminiscence, Yan Shanshan said, "Ziyin, do you know? I've been reflecting on myself these past few days. I remember when I was little, if I was bullied, you were always the first to stand up for me. I never imagined that you would..."

Yan Shanshan gave a self-deprecating laugh, "If only we never grew up, then we'd still be best friends. Ziyin, no matter what misunderstandings you have about me, I can tell you, I still consider you a friend..."

A tear rolled down Yan Shanshan's cheek, which she quickly wiped away. "Okay, I know you hate me. Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore."

Looking at these things, Lu Ziyin couldn't help but drift into memories. Childhood memories were indeed beautiful, and Lu Ziyin's expression softened slightly.

"Shanshan, I know I've wronged you. If you ever need anything in the future, come to me and I'll help you again."

Yan Shanshan turned her back and slowly smiled. She knew that she had made the right bet again. Lu Ziyin was a man who valued his promises. Since he had spoken, he would not go back on his word.

However, Yan Shanshan didn't expect that her smugness would not last long before she found herself in an embarrassing situation at school again.

It all started with a post that went viral, causing a huge uproar on campus. The post was titled: "Shocking! The Real Reason Goddess Shen Chumo Was Hospitalized!!!"

The post revealed why Gu Beichen attacked Shen Chumo in public.

The incident started when Yan Shanshan, Gu Beicheng's girlfriend, complained to him that Shen Chumo had bullied her. Gu Beicheng, blinded by love, went straight to confront Shen Chumo without investigating the facts, resulting in Shen Chumo breaking her leg and still being hospitalized.

But in fact, Goddess Shen Chumo had only been at the school for less than a morning, and she had spent the entire morning in class without leaving the classroom. The students in the top class could all testify that Goddess Shen Chumo did not say a word to Yan Shanshan that day, let alone bully her.

However, this so-called "adulterous couple" did not receive any punishment. Instead, they flaunted their affection at school every day without any sense of shame, which was utterly despicable.

The post quickly caused a huge uproar on the school forum. As a prestigious private school, Mingde Middle School usually doesn't strongly discourage students from dating, and generally turns a blind eye when it happens.

However, Gu Beicheng and Yan Shanshan's actions have clearly angered the public.

The students in the top-performing class complained directly to the school, claiming that Gu Beicheng and Yan Shanshan were always dating outside their classroom, which seriously affected their studies.

The school was forced to respond, requiring Gu Beicheng and Yan Shanshan to write a letter of apology, which they then had to read aloud in front of the entire school.

Faced with the disdainful looks from the others in the audience, Yan Shanshan was so ashamed that she almost cried. Gu Beichen was also in a bad mood, but he did feel guilty towards Shen Chumo, especially after getting back together with Yan Shanshan. He felt a little sorry for Shen Chumo, so he read it out louder.

Yan Shanshan found herself in an extremely awkward situation at school. Wherever she went, it seemed like classmates were pointing and whispering behind her back.

In the hallway during recess, students gathered in groups of three or five, their eyes frequently glancing at Yan Shanshan before they began to whisper among themselves. Though the voices were not loud, they were like sharp thorns, constantly pricking her back.

"Look, that's Yan Shanshan," a girl whispered, covering her mouth with her hand.

"It's her! She's with Gu Beichen. Those two scumbags should be locked up together." Another girl chimed in, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"That's right. Compared to Shen Chumo, she's nowhere near as good. Shen Chumo is a goddess. Yan Shanshan can't even compare to a single strand of her hair." A boy next to her joined in the discussion, his tone full of sarcasm.

"That's right. Shen Chumo is not only beautiful, but also kind and generous. As for Yan Shanshan, you wouldn't guess it, but she's actually quite wicked." The girl next to her nodded in agreement.
