"Time to eat?" Gu Luoqi picked up her phone, which she had tossed on the bed, and saw that it was 4:30 in the afternoon. It was indeed time to eat.
However, eating rice is alright; at least it's much easier than studying.
Oh well, I'll just have to make do with this meal for now.
"Host, please pay attention to a balanced diet," the system prompted, seemingly sensing her intention.
Gu Luoqi: "..." These days, you can't even make yourself suffer a little?
She thought of her incredibly bad cooking skills and realized that there seemed to be only one way out.
If she were to rely solely on herself, let alone maintain a balanced diet, she'd be lucky not to poison herself.
"Fine, I'll just order takeout," Gu Luoxi said, opening an app on her phone.
Then, try to make your nutrition as balanced as possible according to the system's requirements.
She scrolled down until she saw the golden fried chicken and couldn't resist ordering some.
"Host, according to my calculations, your calorie intake will exceed the limit." The system strictly followed the program settings and carefully monitored her every meal.
Its words immediately stopped Gu Luoxi. She felt a little dejected. The thought that she might have to endure such misery for every meal in the future made her feel terrible. She still couldn't help but ask, "Then I can't touch these things anymore?"
Wouldn't that mean she's destined for happiness?
"No, it's just that given the host's current physical condition, it's more suitable to eat something lighter." The system couldn't understand human desires for food, but it was still very dedicated.
"Okay." Gu Luoqi felt much more at ease after hearing the system say that.
Thankfully, it's not a strict control over her meals; otherwise, if I made her study hard while forbidding her from eating any good food, she would go crazy.
After selecting what she could eat, she remembered that Qi Sheng was still at home.
She went out and knocked on his door, but after a long time, there was no response from inside.
Is she asleep?
She tapped again.
Qi Sheng originally didn't intend to pay attention to her, but he couldn't resist Gu Luoxi's persistent spirit.
His brows furrowed with impatience, and he got up to open the door: "What is it?"
Gu Luoqi was about to lean closer to the door to listen to what was happening inside when he stumbled from the inertia of pulling the door open.
Qi Sheng made no comment, but stepped slightly to the side, as if she were carrying some terrible virus.
Gu Luoqi steadied herself, showing no sign of being disliked: "What are you having for dinner?"
She hadn't forgotten the purpose of her trip, and while asking him, she glanced at Qi Sheng's room a few times.
She noticed that his room was very simple and exceptionally tidy, a stark contrast to her messy room.
Qi Sheng remained indifferent, silently moving his body to block her probing gaze: "This is none of your concern."
After saying that, he was about to close the door.
Gu Luoqi smiled ingratiatingly: "Ahem... I just wanted to ask you something. I'm planning to order takeout, so I came to ask you."
She thought to herself that this guy seemed a bit difficult to deal with. Oh well, it was her own fault for bullying him in the past. Now, these were all debts she owed from the past.
"I won't eat." Qi Sheng said expressionlessly, his dark eyes staring straight at Gu Luoqi, as if trying to see through her and find out what she was up to.
Gu Luoqi met his probing gaze, appearing completely open and honest: "So, what do you plan to eat?"
"I'm afraid you don't need to worry about this." Qi Sheng withdrew his gaze and closed the door in front of her.
Gu Luoqi: "..." Is she really that annoying?
However, she immediately recalled a series of things she had done before and realized that she really was that annoying.
She went back to her room and thought about it, then decided to order two portions; she felt bad eating alone.
However, when she picked up her phone, she encountered another problem: what did that guy like to eat?
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to give him whatever she wanted to eat.
With that in mind, she placed the order.
After she finished doing all that, she put her phone down and continued to organize the homework on her desk. When she opened the books for each subject, they were even cleaner than her face.
? ? ?
She narrowed her eyes. Was she really this arrogant before?
"Host, according to the class rankings, you are currently ranked last." The system stated a fact in a calm tone.
"Sigh, I had a hard life before." She sighed softly.
I don't know how I survived being bombarded by teachers from all subjects.
"In human terms, this would be considered shamelessness, host," the system explained professionally.
As long as you have thick skin, you're not afraid of any teacher.
"Hehe." Gu Luoqi slowly closed the book.
Upon closer reflection, the system wasn't wrong. She was indeed thick-skinned during her teenage years; she wasn't afraid of all sorts of teachers trying to persuade her.
To sum it up in one sentence: a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water.
She was about to go downstairs to get herself a glass of water when the doorbell rang as she reached the corner of the stairs.
The food arrived so quickly?
She rushed to open the door, but the moment she opened it, her expression froze.
Su Yan was standing in front of the door.
A tall, slender young man stood outside the door, his eyes sparkling with a subtle light.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a while, he relaxed his long eyebrows and raised a slight eyebrow: "You're not planning to let me in?"
Gu Luoqi shifted slightly and took a deep breath: "Please come in." Her tone was distant.
She didn't know what he was doing here at this time.
Su Yan gave her a deep look, then stepped inside and sat down on the sofa as if he were at home.
Seeing him like this, Gu Luoqi calmed down and asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"
"Weren't you sick? I came to see you." Su Yan said casually.
Her eyes swept over Gu Luoqi briefly before looking away.
"Oh, I'm fine now." Gu Luoqi's eyelashes trembled slightly, making it impossible to read her emotions.
"Okay, that's good." Su Yan continued, following her lead.
Seeing his expression, Gu Luoqi knew that he didn't believe she was sick at all, and perhaps he didn't expose her out of consideration for her feelings.
Her heart felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and she tried hard to suppress the turmoil in her heart: "Is there anything else?" She hoped he would leave quickly, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and that someone would notice something was wrong.
"Can't I stay here if there's nothing wrong?" Su Yan's eyes were full of mischief, as if he wanted to see what other tricks Gu Luoqi could pull.
"Whatever you want, whatever makes you happy." Gu Luoqi picked up the water glass on the coffee table and prepared to leave.
"Gu Luoqi, you're angry," Su Yan said with certainty, watching her retreating figure.
He knew she would be angry, but he really didn't expect her to go to this extent.
Gu Luoxi paused slightly, then said calmly, "You're overthinking it." Her tone was even, seemingly without any change in emotion.
