CHAPTER 55: 055: FRIENDSHIP REQUIRES CAUTION

Gu Tong’s small face turned red in an instant, and her heart was in a flurry.

To try... or not to try...

This is a death sentence question...

"How’s your relationship with her?"

Before Gu Tong could figure out how to answer, Li Yan’s question echoed, interrupting her ’pure’ thoughts.

The ’her’ in his words, of course, didn’t need further thinking and was undoubtedly Qiu Xue. But why would he ask that? Could it be he spotted some flaw...

"We lived close when we were young, grew up in the same Academy Courtyard, but after that, we didn’t have much contact. She did come to me on the eve of our wedding."

Gu Tong didn’t mention what Qiu Xue had said back then, nor the proposals like ’hidden marriage’, ’indifference’, ’probing’. Firstly, considering it wouldn’t benefit their relationship, and secondly, she didn’t know their real relationship now.

Perhaps once bitten, twice shy, even now, she still worried whether the rumors from her past life were true, and whether what Li Yan did today was deliberately performed for her to see.

Indeed, she thought too darkly, Gu Tong mocked herself.

Li Yan saw them talking and laughing at noon and thought they had a good relationship. Now he had truly overturned that idea.

"Does she know about our marriage?"

This question is very important!

"Of course she knows, when we got married, although it wasn’t a big event, we still invited a small group, and Prince Qiu’s family was among the invited. Besides, I had told her."

Gu Tong pretended to be calm, but her heart skipped a beat. Why did he want to know if Qiu Xue knew... Is he worried about something...

"Be cautious in choosing friends." Li Yan’s thin lips slightly moved, speaking these words seriously.

Knowing he was Gu Tong’s husband, yet still doing such things, his heart had already marked Qiu Xue’s character with a question mark.

Was he talking about Qiu Xue...

Gu Tong thought, but her mind was out of control, various questions popped up one after another, all of them negative thoughts...

She’s afraid... She’s terrified...

The tragedy of the past life, it left such a deep mark that, even after reincarnation, she can’t forget...

"What’s wrong?" Li Yan lowered his gaze, looking at Gu Tong with concern. Her previously radiant smile gradually faded, replaced by a fake one, which he noticed clearly.

Could it be that she thought he was meddling too much?

"It’s nothing..." Gu Tong quickly shook her head, forcibly dismissing Li Yan’s doubt, saying, "I was just thinking about the new student camp training..."

She suddenly changed the topic, with no intention to continue the conversation. The past life’s experiences were like a scar, each reopening brought pain, Gu Tong was already struggling to breathe.

Li Yan knew she did it on purpose, but there was no choice. He cooperated, "The training at the Pavilion Academy is tough, and this is the Special Student Pavilion Academy, the training courses are multiple times that of ordinary trainees. If you find it hard to persevere, you can discuss it with Gu Wangjue. I think he should have calmed down by now."

Calmed down? That’s impossible.

Unless they produce a baby, Gu Old Daddy will never ’calm down’!

"No way... you can persist, why can’t I, especially as your wife, how can I lose at the new student camp, it would be too embarrassing..." Gu Tong insisted stubbornly.

What a joke, she had finally managed to rightfully stay at the Pavilion Academy, asking her to leave was simply a pipe dream.

"But the new student camp also has performance reviews, if you fail the outdoor camping, you’ll be sent back to the local Pavilion Academy. You’re falling behind in physical training now, how can you keep up during the outdoor drills."
