Well, My Brother's Friend

【Gu Luo: [Qingtong's Personal Profile]】

【Gu Luo: Ximan, you might not believe this, but this is a British princess. We’re several time zones apart, so be mindful when messaging her.】

???

Is today April Fool’s Day?

Gu Ximan seriously doubted that this so-called "Qingtong" was just a fake account Gu Luo had created to mess with her.

The two of them saw each other every day—where would a second-year student like him even meet a foreign girl, let alone a British princess?

Here she was, working hard to prepare a gift for Sunday, and this jerk Gu Luo was still playing pranks on her.

Fuming, she immediately typed back:

【Gu Ximan: Hah, you really think I’m dumb enough to fall for this? Only an idiot would believe you!】

The reply came almost instantly.

【Gu Luo: [Image]】

It was a screenshot of his chat with Danika Victoria.

Gu Ximan skimmed it and scoffed, typing again:

【Gu Ximan: You think throwing in some English is gonna fool me?】

【Gu Luo: .....】

【Gu Luo: Well, Senior Youqing added her and is grinning like an idiot right now.】

【Gu Luo: [Image]】

The new photo showed Feng Youqing staring at her phone, her lips curled in an uncontrollable, lovesick smile.

Huh?

Why was Senior Youqing playing along with Gu Luo’s nonsense?

【Gu Luo: Here’s what happened. Just now, Senior Shen Yue...】

As she read on, Gu Ximan’s eyes widened, and her heartbeat quickened.

She immediately sent a friend request.

It was accepted almost instantly.

【Danika: Hi, Luo’s sister. I’m off to bed now. Let’s catch up tomorrow~~~】

Gu Ximan froze for a second before hurriedly switching to her English keyboard to reply:

【Gu Ximan: OK, Goodnight! (Panda sleeping emoji)】

Then, she immediately clicked into the princess’s social media feed.

Dozens of stunning selfies and videos filled the screen—Danika skydiving with effortless grace, riding horses with regal elegance, lounging on a yacht, and going about her daily life in a grand palace.

Golden hair, sapphire eyes, radiating youth and vitality.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Even though her expressions and gestures were down-to-earth, her innate nobility was impossible to hide. Every movement exuded an air of royalty.

Utterly untouchable.

Gu Ximan had only ever sensed a fraction of this kind of aura from Aunt Luo Liang—but compared to this actual princess, even that paled in comparison.

And wait—wasn’t this the same Danika Victoria her classmates had been gushing about earlier?!

Feeling like she was in a dream, Gu Ximan numbly placed her phone on Lu Xuexue’s desk and whispered:

“Xuexue, isn’t this that Danika girl?”

Hearing this, Lu Xuexue paused mid-fold on a paper star and turned to look. But the bespectacled girl in front of them reacted faster, spinning around to ask:

“Manman, are you guys talking about Danika too? Isn’t she so prett—”

Her words died as soon as she saw Gu Ximan’s screen.

She froze.

Adjusting her glasses, the girl picked up the phone and scrolled through the feed.

But the more she looked, the more confused she became.

This was clearly a social media profile.

But the problem was…

The person in these posts…

Was this photoshopped?

But no—the images and videos showed no signs of editing.

And they were all close-up selfies.

Realization dawning, the bespectacled girl stared at Gu Ximan:

“Manman… you’re not about to tell me… this is actually Danika Victoria, are you?”

At that, Gu Ximan instinctively straightened her back, twirling a strand of her cool tea-brown hair as she replied with forced nonchalance:

“Yeah. My brother’s friend.”
