Chapter 31

Two days later, Gu Qingyue received a strange phone call during her Introduction to Ancient Literature class. Since she was in class at the time, she ignored it.

After class, she called the owner of the unfamiliar number back. A clear male voice was heard on the other end. Gu Qingyue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Hello, who are you?"

"He Xiaohong." said the man.

Gu Qingyue frowned, thinking for a second before realizing that this He Xiaohong was the man she had met in the lounge that day. He hadn't left a good impression on her in the lounge that day, and Gu Qingyue felt a bit disgusted. She said in a flat tone, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Do you have time later? I want to make friends with classmate Gu." He Xiaohong said in a frivolous tone.

Gu Qingyue said coldly, "Sorry, I have classes later."

After he finished speaking, Gu Qingyue hung up the phone without waiting for his response.

Shu Miaomiao asked: "Who is it?"

"The man I met in the lounge that day."

Shu Miaomiao uttered an "oh" and then asked curiously, "How did he get your phone number?"

"I don't know." Gu Qingyue shook her head.

Shu Miaomiao asked again: "What did he say?"

"He asked me if I was free and said he wanted to be friends." Gu Qingyue said in a flat tone.

"Why is this guy pursuing me relentlessly like a dog with a sticky tape?" Shu Miaomiao said speechlessly.

Gu Qingyue assumed that after being turned away once, He Xiaohong would probably not bother her again. Unexpectedly, the next day, he had someone bring a bouquet of Coronavirus to the dormitory, wrapped in a long gift box, dazzling the eyes along the way.

He Qing glanced at the gorgeous Corolla in the gift box and asked curiously, "Hey, who is this person? Flowers were delivered to the dormitory. And they are Corolla varieties. They look good."

"A playboy who uses money to hit people." Shu Miaomiao said.

"Then stay away from him. This kind of person is the best at teasing young girls." He Qing said, "Look at Chi Xiqian's last boyfriend. He was a playboy. He cheated on her and dumped her after just a short time."

Gu Qingyue rested her chin on her hands, staring at the large, plump bouquet of roses. She felt a headache and didn't know what to do. At this moment, the phone screen lit up. Gu Qingyue clicked it and saw a message from an unfamiliar number. She knew who it was without thinking.

[Carola, do you like it?]

Gu Qingyue put her phone upside down on the desk, picked up the cup and took a sip of water. She heard Shu Miaomiao ask, "Qingyue, what are you going to do with these flowers?"

Gu Qingyue tilted her head and said, "Throw it away?"

"Forget it, don't waste it. It would be nice to use it for a rose bath." Shu Miaomiao suggested.

"He won't keep bothering you like this, right?" Shu Miaomiao said, "Otherwise, why not talk to Sister Su Xi? After all, he's someone she knows."

"Look at you again. People like them don't have much patience. If I just ignore him, he will probably get bored in less than a week." Gu Qingyue said.

However, He Xiaohong seemed to have good patience and seemed to enjoy her indifference. Perhaps her indifference gave him a sense of freshness, but Gu Qingyue found it a nuisance. For this reason, she subconsciously sent a message to Gu Hengsheng.

[Have you ever rejected someone who pursued you before?]

When Gu Hengsheng received Gu Qingyue's message, he had just gotten out of the car and was stunned for a moment. After a while, he sent her a message back.

Gu Hengsheng: [Someone is pursuing you, your classmate?]

Gu Qingyue: [No, it's someone from society. So annoying. They've been coming to school to look for me lately.]

Gu Hengsheng frowned, closed the car door, stopped walking, and sent a message to Gu Qingyue: [Do you need my help?]

Gu Qingyue: [No, no need. For now, I can handle it myself.]

Gu Hengsheng: [Okay, if you can’t handle it, you can call me.]

Because of He Xiaohong's incident, Gu Qingyue became the topic of conversation in their dormitory building this week. For this reason, when get out of class was over on Friday, Gu Qingyue deliberately returned to a duplex apartment under her name, intending to have a few days of peace and quiet.

This apartment was a coming-of-age gift from Gu's mother when she turned 18. Gu Qingyue had only stayed there a few times and hadn't been in two months. Even though the apartment looked clean, she still felt the urge to clean it up.

She casually twisted her hair twice, tied it into a bun, and placed it on top of her forehead. She went to the bathroom, drew a basin of warm water, wet a towel, and began to clean.

Downstairs is the living room and kitchen. The tableware in the kitchen is in good order and looks like new. Although from the time she was eighteen until now, it was only during her freshman year that she brought her roommates to the apartment to stay because she missed the curfew. After cooking instant noodles that night, she never used the tableware in the kitchen again.

When she finished cleaning, it was already dark outside the window. Gu Qingyue opened the curtains and stood in front of the window. She could see lights shining through the window panes of several houses in the building opposite.

The phone on the sofa rang at that moment, a WeChat message alert. She walked over to the sofa and picked up the phone. It was a message from Shu Miaomiao, informing her that He Xiaohong had left S University.

The night wind blew in through the open window. Gu Qingyue sniffed and felt a little cold. She stood up and closed the curtains. Since she was not at school, He Xiaohong should not know about this place, she thought.

The next day, when Gu Qingyue woke up, she cleared her throat and found that her throat was a little dry and slightly painful, which was a sign that she had a cold.

There was no thermometer in this room, let alone fever-reducing medicine. Gu Qingyue raised her hand and touched her forehead. It was indeed a little hot. She climbed out of bed, went to the kitchen downstairs, and boiled a pot of water.

Her cheeks were a little hot, so she buried her face in the marble bar table. The cool temperature made her feel a lot more comfortable until the kettle switch flickered and made a click, indicating that the water had boiled.

Gu Qingyue took a glass from the tray. The glass had a translucent texture and a gold rim. She poured hot water into the glass and waited for the water to cool before going to the bathroom to wash up.

After she finished washing up, the hot water in the glass was just the right temperature. She held the glass and went upstairs. After drinking most of the water, she placed the glass on the bedside, lay down on the bed, wrapped in the warm quilt, and took her tablet to watch a movie.

Gu Qingyue especially likes leaving the bed in winter, feeling the bone-chilling cold, and then hiding in the thick and warm bed, wrapping herself up like a cicada pupa. At that moment, the sense of satisfaction that arises spontaneously makes her very happy.

Gu Qingyue once discussed this idea with Shu Miaomiao. At that time, Shu Miaomiao held her cheek, unable to empathize: "It's so cold just thinking about it."

Gu Qingyue woke up to the ringing of her cell phone. When she opened her eyes, she realized she had fallen asleep without realizing it. She cleared her throat and found that the pain in her throat had worsened and her voice was a little hoarse.

Good, now she was completely sure that she had a fever.

Gu Qingyue touched her cell phone and pressed the answer button without even looking at the caller ID.

"Student Gu."

The familiar man's voice made Gu Qingyue frown suddenly.

"Hey, classmate Gu, you seem to have misunderstood me. I just want to make friends. I have no bad intentions. How about we meet?" His voice was a little nonchalant.

"I'm not at school."

He Xiaohong let out a long "Oh" and said, "I know. You are in Yangjiang District 2, Room 302?"

Gu Qingyue took a deep breath and subconsciously hung up the phone.

After she hung up the phone, she still felt uneasy. After thinking for a moment, she bit her lip, opened the address book interface, and called Gu Hengsheng.

After waiting for a minute, she spoke as soon as the call was connected: "Uncle San, can you come to my apartment? Yangjiang District 2, Room 302. The man I mentioned last time is at the door of my apartment."

"Okay, stay in the room and don't open the door." He reminded me worriedly.

When Gu Hengsheng was about to hang up, Gu Qingyue called him again: "When you come, please buy me a box of antipyretic medicine. I think I have a fever."
