Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 12: Love Letter

[Ding! Wu Hongwen has successfully been saved! 10 points rewarded!]

When she heard the system notification, Gu Xiqiao started to slow down. This Master status was quite useful, and she felt like she could break a tree with a single swing of her fist. "Can you keep this status for me? I can probably earn a quick buck by performing on the streets, or something."

[Permanent statuses are sold in the Level 3 system shop.]

"How many points would I need?" Gu Xiqiao was quite curious. If she could even buy such a cheat-like status, wouldn't the system be too overpowered?

The voice of the system spirit seemed to become serious all of a sudden. [2000 points, but I don't suggest that you buy it. Beauty Qiao, you can train yourself in the virtual space to achieve Master status. It isn't a good way to take shortcuts like this.]

[Ding! The system has detected that Wu Hongwen's affection towards you is thirty-five points, do you want to add him to your friend list?]

"Nope." Gu Xiqiao refused quickly without any hesitation. "It's alright, I was just curious. I don't want power that I didn't obtain through my effort, so I'll look for a martial arts scroll later."

If she had learned a bunch of abilities back in her past life, she wouldn't have been so passive and let tragedy befall her.

"Thank you, what's your name?" Wu Hongwen saw that Gu Xiqiao was about to leave and came back to his senses, reaching over to stop her from leaving.

Gu Xiqiao who was in Master mode was more agile and had better reflexes, so she dodged him easily.

"It's not for your sake, anyway."

We Hongwen didn't quite believe in her and scratched at the back of his head with a slight blush on his face. He was still panting from running earlier, and his pale skin was covered with a fine sheen of sweat while his short-sleeved uniform was drenched. His eyes seemed to contain the stars themselvesdark in color yet shone brightly.

She saved him while everyone else ran away at the first chance they had, and no matter the reason, she was the one that defended him when no one else did. This was something that he wouldn't soon forget. "You're a good person."

'Then you're really thinking too much.' Gu Xiqiao thought, not even wanting to talk with him anymore as she continued to look around.

Weren't there any taxis around this time?

Wu Hongwen suddenly stopped in his steps as a flash of recognition ran through his mind upon seeing the slender silhouette in front of him, his handsome face blushing brightly. "I remember, you're Gu Xiqiao aren't you? You even"

Before he met Gu Xiqiao, his only reaction to these three words was unquestionably

Disgust!

But at this point, Wu Hongwen didn't know how to react.

He had a deep impression of the love letter that the prettiest girl in class sent her a while ago. The letter that had been written on a piece of pink paper and folded meticulously into a heart was snatched away by one of his classmates, and the contents were read out loud for everyone to hear. He became the laughing stock of the class for an entire week, and that caused him to be filled with disgust when he heard the words 'Gu Xiqiao'.

For a girl's love letter to be read out loud and to become the butt of an entire school's jokes, how much would that affect a girl in her teenage years? He didn't know, but if it were him, he wouldn't be able to take it.

Thinking of this, Wu Hongwen was stunned.

How much pressure did she have to go through?

He stood there, suddenly feeling timid as he looked at the receding silhouette in front of it. He didn't know how to describe the regret in his heart, but it felt like someone was ripping it out of his chest.
