CHAPTER-3

"What is wrong with you? " Zao said angrily to Gu and after that Gu didn't utter a word to him. The final bell rang and everyone got out of their classes. "Hey, Xiao, Xiao" Zao was screaming but Gu didn't even look back at him. "Hey, I'm actually sorry for shouting at you but I was literally a bit annoyed"." Then, sorry for being annoying"Gu spoke arrogantly and started walking. "Hey, I never said you were annoying" Zao held Gu's hand this time. "Oh, okay" Gu said while blushing and they both headed out.

"Who is it now? " Zao lifted up his head to see a girl., speaking frankly he saw his female version. "We look alike" Both Zao and Ling ji spoke together, Fang and Gu looked at each other in disbelief. Fang said"Maybe you are twins and got separated when you were children"."It's just a coincidence"Gu interrupted and tried to end the conversation. Zao was thinking something else because Ling ji looked the exact her.

Ling ji extended her hand but then remembered what Fang told her so she did a formal bow."I am Xu Xaioling"she greeted and Zao thought to himself "even our first names are same"."Hi,I am Zao Lu"."Brother Xiao it's actually my first time seeing that you are actually following someone"Gu looked extremely embarrassed but Ling ji continued"Did you forget what you promised?"She threatened."What did he say?"Zao lu was curious."He promised that he'd never make any friends"everyone started laughing.
