Facing Si Yichen's question, Gu Tong lowered her eyes and bit her lips for a moment before softly replying, "Because I don't want to go back to my previous life."

Knowing that he was saying this, Si Yicheng didn't necessarily understand. Thus, after he finished speaking, Gu Tong explained in detail, "Although my classmates' attitudes towards me are still not very friendly after I went to school, but compared to the mockery and disdain from before, I feel much better …"

"I feel that it won't be long before I can return to my peaceful life like before …

"But if this matter were to be spread out, even if Fan Mingyu and I didn't do anything, some people would spread word of mouth to mouth, and something would probably happen …"

Speaking of which, when she recalled the scene of those people slandering her and how she was helpless, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Although she always appeared calm on the surface, she actually still cared a lot and was very afraid!

She really did not want that kind of scene to appear again!

Actually, if it weren't for what happened before, she would never have thought like this. It was because of what happened before and how scary the rumors were, that she felt wronged this time.

After listening to Gu Tong's thoughts, Si Yicheng, who had a firm and puzzled attitude a moment ago, didn't persist in his thoughts. Instead, he slowly became silent.

Gu Tong was worried that he wouldn't listen to what she had to say due to his temporary anger, so in a moment of panic, she frantically reached out her hand and tightly held onto his arm. She eagerly begged, "Si Yichen, promise me. Just let this matter pass, okay?"

Hearing Gu Tong's pleas, Si Yichen slowly raised his eyelids and said uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to let them off just like that? Let me bear all the grievances alone? "

Si Yicheng understood what Gu Tong was saying, but he really didn't want to see her leave all the unhappiness for him.

This kind of Gu Tong made his heart ache.

Facing Si Yicheng's concern, Gu Tong pursed her lips, revealing a forced smile, "Don't think like that. Although I'm the victim in this matter, I didn't suffer any terrifying injuries. I was only beaten twice and only suffered a superficial wound."

"Moreover, based on their speed of escape today, I feel that they will not do anything to me anymore due to you. If I pay more attention to myself, they'll never have a chance. "

Gu Tong wasn't a person who didn't care about her own feelings. She had made this decision after careful consideration.

From the extent of Fan Mingyu and Chang Shishi's fear of Si Yicheng, she could see that even if they didn't do anything, they wouldn't dare to do anything to her in the future.

If that was the case, then why let him and Si Yicheng dirty their hands?

In fact, if she accidentally got caught by someone with ulterior motives and used them to deal with Si Yicheng, then Gu Tong would really blame herself.

Although in front of Gu Tong, Si Yichen often acted like he was the most respected one, but Gu Tong knew that with his current status and family background, there must be someone secretly watching them from behind, waiting to take advantage of them and bring them down.

After all, if a person walked to higher ground, water would flow to lower ground. This was a principle that would never change.

"Truth be told, everything that has happened right now seems to be for me to reap what I sow …" She then added in a low voice, "If it weren't for me being blind and making friends with Chang Shi Shi, if it weren't for the fact that I don't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, I wouldn't be where I am today."

She suddenly realized that all the disasters that had befallen her were related to Chang Shi.

This Chang Shi Shi was the friend that he wanted to make.

Just like when he first met her, Gu Tong saw that she didn't have any good friends, so she was very lonely and pitiful. That was why she took the initiative to approach her and became her friend, caring about everything that happened to her.

If … If he hadn't been so impulsive, wouldn't all of this have happened?

Gu Tong felt a deep sense of regret.

Si Yichen didn't like hearing Gu Tong's words and immediately rejected in excitement, "Little Tong, don't say that. It's not your fault …"

"It's my fault! It is my own eyes blind, friends I know do not treat me sincerely! Chang Shi Shi is like this, and you are the same! "

Gu Tong suddenly shouted at Si Yicheng. Then, she lifted up her hand and pushed Si Yicheng, who had been casually sitting by her window, far away.

Caught off guard, Si Yicheng retreated a few steps back in a sorry state before finally regaining his balance.

The first thing he did after standing there was to ask Gu Tong, "Why do you want to compare me to that woman? When did I not treat you sincerely? "

Towards Gu Tong's accusation, Si Yicheng was both surprised and innocent.

Gu Tong had been quick with her words and had inadvertently said those words. However, Si Yichen's question was like a sharp knife, forcefully cutting through the confusion and sadness that had been hidden deep within her heart.

She took a deep breath and then tightly grabbed onto the bed sheets. She used all her courage to shout at Si Yicheng, "You kept hiding your identity as the Young Master of the Si Family from me and even left without me knowing. You want me to look for you like a fool? Do you mean that to me?"

Although Gu Tong found it difficult to say each word, she felt a sense of elation after she had spoken them.

Even if the answer I got in the end wasn't what I wanted, at the very least, everything I said was worth it.

Thinking about what she had thought during the day, Gu Tong didn't regret what she had done.

However, even if she didn't regret it, it didn't mean that Gu Tong could remain calm. After saying those words to Si Yicheng, she slowly lowered her gaze, not daring to look at him.

"Little... "Little Tong …"

As Si Yichen called out to Gu Tong's name, he seemed to have a thousand things he wanted to say.

"I... I am not saying these things to listen to your hypocritical explanation. I just want to tell you, tell myself, that in the future, I will have to open my eyes and become a human! "

In the end, Gu Tong's courage was still lacking. As soon as Si Yichen spoke the two words, she had already quickly found a way down the stairs for herself.

She thought that she could act carefree, but when she thought about it, once she broke this window paper, she and Si Yichen might not have a future. She was still reluctant to part with them.
