Gu Muxue gasped for breath. Her worst fears had come true.
She'd thought that with so much overlap between Lin Ruoxi's and Xue Rui's social circles, it would be fine for them all to just be friends after coming to Chang'an. Getting together occasionally would have been nice.
But Lin Ruoxi was too beautiful, and she liked Xue Rui. Gu Muxue knew the saying about how a woman pursuing a man is only separated by a thin veil. She feared their relationship would grow closer and closer, eventually transcending friendship...
'What did Xue Rui just say? Pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend?'
'He called it an act, but a vague relationship like this would make someone gradually lower their guard. All it would take is one of them to take a single step forward to cross the line.'
'Of course she knew. Things like this almost always turned real.'
"Xiaorui, are you even aware of the situation?" Gu Muxue turned, wiping her tears on her shoulder as she stared intently into Xue Rui's eyes.
