Li Wei, a young man from 21st century Earth, found herself transmigrated into a parallel high-martial world as Wu University’s prospective freshman Li Wei.
Inheriting the original host’s ...
Being stared at by Gu Jinzhi with such focused eyes, Li Wei felt uncomfortable all over and her face was a little hot.
But when she thought about the stiff interaction between the two of them at the Civil Affairs Bureau just now, as if they were heading to the execution ground, she forced herself to suppress the discomfort.
No, I have to act!
The affectionate character of "Jiang Xue" cannot be broken. Her flop when getting the marriage certificate can be explained as the girl's nervousness, but when trying on the wedding dress, if it were a normal woman, she would definitely be bubbling with happiness about marrying the person she loves.
If I don't act out a bit, Gu Jinzhi might become suspicious.
Besides, I've tried on styles that looked almost the same as nothing in the fitting room just now. Now this one, which is relatively tight, seems... not so awkward?
[A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water! I'm here now!]
She calmed herself down and tried to imitate the posture that Lin Shuying had just taught her. She turned slightly sideways, picked up the hem of her skirt and turned around in a small circle, then gave Gu Jinzhi a smile that she thought was sweet.
"Does it look good?"
The voice was so soft and coquettish that she almost got goosebumps just listening to it.
However, the imagined stunning or gentle response from Gu Jinzhi did not appear.
The momentary shock that flashed across his face quickly faded, replaced by an almost deliberate indifference.
His expression darkened, and his tone was hard: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Li Wei again. He just stood up and walked out with big strides.
This sudden turn of events confused the three people present.
The smile on Li Wei's face froze and she was a little confused.
Lin Shuying also stood there in a daze, at a loss.
Liang Qiushi reacted the fastest, his face darkened, and he chased to the door in a few steps, reaching out and grabbing Gu Jinzhi's arm.
She was about to say something, but she inadvertently met her son's eyes, which were so quiet and a little scary, as if a storm was brewing. The words that were on the tip of her tongue were instantly blocked.
"Mom?" Gu Jinzhi stopped and looked at his mother, the emotions in his eyes instantly disappeared.
Liang Qiushi looked at his son, and felt as if something was pulling at his heart, which made him feel a little painful and a little weak.
She originally wanted to say that his sudden change of attitude and leaving would embarrass "Jiang Xue" and was too rude.
But on second thought, hasn't her son been like this for the past four years?
The more others want to get closer, the further he retreats, as if emotions have become a terrible beast.
Liang Qiushi knew what he was carrying, and the heaviness made her feel distressed, and her hands unconsciously loosened.
Gu Jinzhi was silent for a few seconds, moved his lips, but finally said nothing.
Before leaving, his gaze uncontrollably drifted towards Li Wei again. Just a quick glance, as if he was burned by the dazzling pure white, his steps became faster and he disappeared at the door.
Liang Qiushi looked in the direction his son left with a complicated look in his eyes, which finally turned into an inaudible sigh.
She turned back around, a gentle yet apologetic smile on her face, and said to the other two, "Shuying, Axue, I'm so sorry."
Li Wei had nothing to worry about, but instead felt relieved.
[It's better to leave, it's better to leave, so I don't have to act awkwardly here, my face is almost cramping!]
Lin Shuying was even more exquisite and immediately restored her perfect professional smile, her eyes bright, as if the little episode just now had never happened.
"It's okay, it's okay, Aunt Liang. Then... Miss Jiang, shall we continue?"
......
The next process starts to become formulaic.
Lin Shuying demonstrated extremely high professional standards, carefully measuring and recording various data for Li Wei, recommending suitable makeup styles and jewelry combinations, and her explanations were thoughtful, detailed, and impeccable.
However, there always seems to be a vague low pressure lingering in the air.
Li Wei enjoyed the quietness and was completely focused, mechanically cooperating with Lin Shuying's instructions. Her mind had already flown to the afternoon's martial arts alliance assessment.
After finally finalizing the makeup plan and a set of simple yet luxurious pearl jewelry, the task was finally completed.
Liang Qiushi took Li Wei, said goodbye politely to Lin Shuying, and left the studio.
It was almost one in the afternoon.
The two of them found a high-end restaurant with an elegant environment in the mall.
After the waiter finished serving the dishes and left, they were the only two left in the box. Li Wei finally couldn't hold it in any longer, so she moved closer and lowered her voice: "Aunt Liang, I'm sorry, was my acting not good enough just now..."
Before she finished speaking, Liang Qiushi suddenly raised his index finger and gently touched his lips, signaling her to be quiet.
Li Wei immediately shut up, her eyes wide open with question marks.
Liang Qiushi pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Eat."
Then she took out her cell phone, typed a few words quickly, and turned the screen to Li Wei.
There was a line of small words on it - there might be eavesdropping.
Li Wei froze instantly, her eyes subconsciously scanning the box quickly. She couldn't help but bend down, lift a corner of the tablecloth, and peek under the table.
In the end, apart from Liang Qiushi's long legs wrapped in exquisite black stockings and with beautiful curves, nothing suspicious was seen...
[Oh my god! What the hell? A spy movie scene? Seriously?]
[But...Auntie Liang's legs are really amazing...Uncle Gu...um, how are your kidneys?]
Liang Qiushi ignored her surprise and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
Li Wei quickly shook off the colored garbage in her mind, smiled awkwardly, and buried her head in her food.
The meal ended in a strange and silent atmosphere.
Back in the car, Liang Qiushi spoke gently:
"Axue, I have to take care of the wedding and the hotel this afternoon, so I won't be with you. The Imperial Capital branch of the Martial Arts Alliance is nearby, I'll take you there first."
As she spoke, she pushed a friend's name card to Li Wei's Lingxun. After seeing Li Wei successfully add her, she continued:
"This is Xiaoyan's spiritual signal. She will be your full-time driver from now on."
"I've asked her to drive to the Imperial Capital branch's parking lot to wait for you. If you can't find her after your assessment, just contact her directly via spiritual communication."
"good."
When Li Wei heard Liang Qiushi still calling her "Axue", she knew that this driver probably couldn't be fully trusted.
She immediately switched back to the obedient daughter-in-law mode and nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the car stopped at the magnificent square in front of the branch building.
She took a deep breath, took a step, got out of the car, said a simple goodbye to Liang Qiushi, then walked across the wide square and walked towards the giant building that looked particularly majestic and prestigious.
At this moment, she felt that the sky was a little bluer and the air was especially fresh.
Suddenly, I felt like I had escaped from the set of a melodramatic urban emotional drama and returned to a familiar track, feeling refreshed and satisfied.
[A life full of pretentiousness, here I come!!!]
