Her eyes were filled with unease, like a small animal about to be abandoned at any moment.
He stopped in his tracks, gazed at the girl blocking his way, and frowned slightly. At this moment, his parents were in the living room, his grandmother was resting in her room due to her inconvenient legs, and Xiao Yu was still sleeping in, leaving the living room with just the four of them.
Yet, suddenly, the living room fell completely silent.
He spoke slowly, "I'm going to meet my classmates, I'll be back in the afternoon."
"Can you take me with you?" she asked timidly.
He shook his head without hesitation, "No."
This gathering was a boys-only event for his childhood friends; he really couldn't bring her along.
This rejection made Gu Qiaoqiao's face turn instantly pale, and before he could react, Gu Qiaoqiao slammed into the opposite wall.
Even though he had great reflexes, he couldn't save her at that distance.
When he rushed to her, Gu Qiaoqiao had already fainted.
