"Whatâs up with your man?" Liu Qing directly called Gu Lingling to the office after class and asked, "Or did you guys break up?"
"Breaking up is impossible for us." Gu Lingling glanced at her and said, "You know how busy he is at the end of the year. Thanks for just now, by the way."
She realized Cheng Libinâs intentions after a while, and was pondering how to reject him. Liu Qing stepping in like that really helped her a lot.
At least it saved everyone from embarrassment.
"Donât be silly." Liu Qing said lazily while playing with her nails, "Is he really so at ease with you? There are more than just Cheng Libin in the class who are interested in you."
"Why are you such a magnet for admirers?" Liu Qing examined Gu Lingling carefully, "You really do look like a bit of a siren."
"Pfft... Youâre the siren." Everything was going well until she started talking nonsense.
How does that make her a siren?
But she didnât know why. She hadnât used any cosmetics (not that there were any), at most she used a snow cream in winter, but her skin was indeed getting more radiant.
And then there was her hair, it was no longer the yellow and unhealthy kind, but instead was getting smoother and shinier.
If she was a siren, did this count?
"If youâre grateful, treat me to a meal." Liu Qing said, "I havenât had Grandma Yaoâs cooking for ages."
"Sunday then, letâs go after class. Grandmaâs been talking about you too." Gu Lingling said.
"How about I move in?" Liu Qing laughed, "Iâm bored to death here."
Bored?
Yeah, right!
Night school only has classes during the day on Sundays; the rest of the time classes are in the evenings. This girl is so busy having fun during the day that sheâs nowhere to be seen, and she says sheâs bored?
Gu Lingling really wanted to smush her face.
Her face?
"Then just stay bored here." Gu Lingling rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
When she wasnât familiar with people, she was as aloof as could be. Now that theyâre familiar, sheâs become increasingly cheeky.
"So ugly, be careful rolling your eyes like that; your pupils might not come back." Liu Qing said from behind.
"Hey, nobodyâs walking home with you tonight. Want me to escort you?" Liu Qing added.
"Iâm just born to work hard." She said, getting up and following along, "How did things end up like this?"
She used to be so carefree. She could do whatever she wanted by herself. Why did she suddenly get the impulse to come back? Clearly, the kind of life in Port City suited her more.
Yet she impulsively fell for Yang Yunhai.
Look at that, now the handsome man turned into an iceberg, and here she was, helping that ice sculpture to guard his wife.
The key point is, she actually felt that this feeling was not bad!
She must be too bored!
Or maybe itâs because of that damn woman Shen Lingyu, even if Yang Yunhai isnât her type anymore, she canât just let that woman Shen Lingyu have him either.
All in all, sheâd still rather Yang Yunhai end up marrying Gu Lingling.
Hmph... let Shen Lingyu be so mad she spits blood!
Liu Qing picked up her coat, draped it over her shoulders, and walked out.
Telling herself repeatedly: Itâs because when in Capital City, Gu Lingling was nice to her. Plus, since she came to Qin City, this girl did, although unkindly, notify Yang Yunhai but also pleaded on her behalf.
She was repaying a favor.
Considering the girl was all alone so late and that damn Yang Yunhai didnât come to pick her up, lacking any gentlemanly manners or sense of being a fiancĂ©.
She was feeling sorry for her.
Yes, thatâs it.
