At that time, Sheng Qianxia was painting a picture when she looked up and saw Gong Beiyao. Her eyes were filled with both panic and anticipation, the very image of a little girl who had suddenly run into the boy she liked, shy yet pretending to be aloof.
It was then that Gong Beiyao's friend asked him, "Is this not the girl you like...?"
At that time, the anticipation in Sheng Qianxia's eyes had been transparent to Teacher Mo, who just happened to pass by Sheng Qianxia's side. She saw the hurriedly concealed drawing that revealed half of a face, clearly that of Gong Beiyao.
Who would have thought that Gong Beiyao would just say coldly, 'We don't know each other at all!'
The two of them came and went with an exchange of question and answer as if nothing had happened.
Teacher Mo saw Sheng Qianxia then, her eyes cast down in defeat, on the verge of tears.
She threw the paper covered with Gong Beiyao's name into the trash and was about to tear up the painting full of his portraits.
