My Reputation Keeps Taking Hits

Rumor has it that Gu Nianqiu is a 180-centimeter-tall muscle woman with incredible strength, a vicious personality, and a terrible temper. Her deskmate, Zuo Yang, has this to say: "Bullshit. My deskmate is the cutest person in the world!" ...She's just a little sharp-tongued. [Second blurb] Gu Nianqiu has a brother who's a total siscon, which gives Zuo Yang a headache. One day, he finally catches Gu Nianqiu alone, only to find her eyes all watery. Gu Nianqiu: My brother got lost, and he took my phone with him. Can I borrow yours to call him? Zuo Yang grins and calls her brother: "I've got your sister. You've got ten minutes. If you're not here by then, I'm taking her away." Without giving the other person a chance to reply, Zuo Yang briskly hangs up. Gu Nianqiu: "You didn't tell him where we are." Zuo Yang, perfectly justified: "Why give him the address? Then he'd come find us, wouldn't he?" He's deliberately trying to steal this cutie away, so of course he can't give her a chance to leave.
