Volume 1 Chapter 45

Shi Lele still lived in the same room with Gu Xuezhao.

Looking at Gu Xuezhao, who was packing his things in the next bed and was very uncomfortable, she asked, "How did you know?"

Gu Xuezhao paused and stopped messing with his luggage. He looked at Shi Lele with a complicated look.

"I smell blood on you."

It took Shi Lele a few seconds to understand what she meant.

[Oh my god, who can tell the difference between her and a dog's nose now?]

She even sprayed perfume to cover it up for fear that someone with a keen nose would smell it, but in the end, she was still discovered by Gu Xuezhao.

If it was someone else, they might not think about it that way, but it happened to Gu Xuezhao, who is a girl herself.

"You also know that I am...right?"

Seeing that Shi Lele didn't react at all, Gu Xuezhao gritted his teeth.

She had suspected it before, but when she asked Shi Le to share a room with her just now and she didn't refuse, Gu Xuezhao was almost certain.

At that time, Lele also knew that she was a girl.

Shi Lele nodded: "Yes."

Gu Xuezhao asked her with trembling fingers when she knew it, and Shi Lele said from the very beginning.

The room fell silent until Shi Lele's butt was numb from sitting. Then the man opposite her spoke in a hoarse voice, "Lu Yanzhou...does he know?"

Shi Lele stood up and moved his numb butt.

"Know what? Know that you are a girl or know that I am a girl?"

"Don't worry, I don't know."

Shi Lele stretched his muscles and walked towards the door.

The door closed and Gu Xuezhao was the only one left in the room.

She lowered her eyes, full of confusion.

"How could this be... This is different from what that person said..."

Since she is already here, why would Shi Lele appear?

The cell phone on the bedside table rang, and Gu Xuezhao answered the call slowly.

"mom?"

A woman cursed at me from the other end of the line: "Bitch! Where have you been? I called the store where you work, and the boss said you took a day off!"

"Why don't you just work hard to make money? Where have you been? Are you going to be a whore to those rich guys?"

"I knew I shouldn't have let you go to that school. You don't want this family anymore after seeing how rich people live, right? You're just as ungrateful as your father! I tell you, Gu Xuezhao, don't even think about getting rid of me!"

Gu Xuezhao burst into tears: "Mom, I didn't. I took a private job and earned more than working. I will give you the money when I get back, okay?"

The person on the other end kept cursing for a long time before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xuezhao raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and his pretty face was cold.

What can you get by currying favor with rich people?

They were all women dressed as men. Shi Lele could live in the dormitory in Area A, but she could only squeeze into a four-person room and hide her gender every day with trepidation.

They were all being excluded, but Shi Lele was able to turn the situation around with just a few words. Everyone was willing to be friends with her, while she tried so hard to fit in but was still looked down upon.

They were all excellent students, and Shi Lele could easily keep up with the progress, but she worked very hard to study, but could only barely pass and was held back a grade.

She used to blame her father for abandoning her and her mother and following a rich man.

But now thinking about it, she only hated her father for not taking her with him.

If she had someone to protect her like Shi Lele, would her life be much better?

Thinking of Lu Yanzhou, the initial excitement had completely changed.

Gu Xuezhao took out the small bag of powdery substance sewn into the backpack without any trembling of his fingers.

She doesn't want Lu Yanzhou's love anymore, she wants him to surrender.

...

After asking around, I found out that everyone was playing mahjong.

Although Shi Lele was on paid leave, she did not consider herself a guest.

Yanzi was generous, especially after he developed a crush on her, he became even more generous. Shi Lele could laugh just by hearing about her salary, but of course she also had to be more responsible.

She asked where the kitchen was and went over.

After taking a look at the recipe, she instructed: "Don't put ginger in Master Lu's portion, don't use red tablecloths, don't put roses in the vase, the temperature of the tea should be 45 degrees, and..."

The chef and the steward didn't show any annoyance on their faces, and even lowered their heads to take notes.

After Lele finished speaking, she poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiao."

Shi Liao Liao waved his hand.

These are all small matters. As long as Yanzi can calm down and not deduct my salary, that's enough.

She coughed modestly and added, "Don't say it was me who said that."

The person in charge showed an understanding expression.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiaoshi."

Mahjong Room——

Yang Qingzhou glanced at Lu Yanzhou, who was obviously absent-minded, and his teeth were itching with anger.

Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief.

How come Lu Yanzhou won so much when his mind was not on the mahjong table?

Who can tell the difference between him and the gambling king?

"I want to go night fishing tonight."

Yang Qingzhou spoke.

Lu Yanzhou glanced over lazily: "Do you want me to lend you a fishing rod?"

Xi Yan snorted.

The veins on Yang Qingzhou's forehead jumped.

You're so mean-spirited, no wonder the little servant doesn't want to share a room with you!

Of course, he only dared to complain about this in his heart.

If he really said it out loud, Lu Yanzhou would have to stuff that... bah, that fishing rod into his mouth.

After everyone played for a while, someone knocked on the door and said that the food was ready.

Bai Liye turned her head and asked, "What time is it?"

The person in charge smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao has something to do."

"What's the matter? Aren't you letting me eat?"

Bai Liye muttered, then looked at Lu Yanzhou who was walking unexpectedly slowly in front of her, and said innocently, "Ah? Could it be that he went on a date with that guy called Gu Xuezhao?"

"It's a beautiful place with clear water and mountains. It's quite poetic for a man and a woman to take a walk alone."

The people in front didn't react, but Bai Liye curled the corners of her lips, then quickly returned to her innocent expression and caught up with the main group.

She didn't believe that Lu Yanzhou had no reaction. Just those two sentences made her so angry that she almost exploded.

Bai Liye recently figured it out.

There was no way she would give up her ambition since childhood just because of her inexplicable affection for Shi Lele, but she also couldn't bear to see the man she liked being with her goal.

Of course, since she knew that Lu Yanzhou liked men, there was absolutely no way she would choose this person.

Glancing at the tall and strong Yang Qingzhou walking in front of her, Bai Liye's eyes flashed with determination.

He has a perfect family background and looks okay, but he doesn't seem very smart. I can trick him into becoming a househusband and keep the company firmly in my hands. The revival of the Bai family is just around the corner.

"Yang Qingzhou, wait for me."

She ran over lightly in her high heels without even looking at Lu Yanzhou.

Fortunately she didn't see it.

If I really look back, I will probably be scared to death by Master Lu’s eyes.
