"Host, calm down, calm down!" The system knew that her temper was flaring up again.
Gu Luoqi continued eating expressionlessly, but her movements were so exaggerated that Su Yan suspected she mistook him for food.
His eyebrows lifted, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Why did he find his childhood sweetheart somewhat adorable?
"Aren't you going home?" His voice remained gentle, seemingly oblivious to Gu Luoqi's anger.
"I'm not going back, so what?" Gu Luoqi's voice also carried a hint of anger.
What's it to him if she doesn't go home?
Su Yan said helplessly, "I was just asking." Why was she acting like she was about to punch someone?
Moreover, he remembered that his childhood sweetheart was a bit troublesome before, but she was never as irritable as she is now.
"Oh." Gu Luoqi didn't even look up, completely ignoring him.
This surprised those around Su Yan. Of course, despite their surprise, he didn't continue to spout nonsense.
Unfortunately, if Su Yan were to be discouraged by her cold attitude, he wouldn't be Su Yan.
His expression remained unchanged. "If you're planning to go home, we can go together." His voice even carried a hint of languor, and his eyes were smiling, revealing a touch of doting affection.
Gu Luoqi's heart skipped a beat. It was an illusion, she thought to herself.
Why is this thing suddenly acting up? In the past, she might have been happy about it, but now she feels nothing at all, and even annoyed.
Because she knew that all of this was just a facade; the real Su Yan was both gentle and ruthless.
Su Yan was the first person she had ever seen who could combine these two completely unrelated qualities so seamlessly.
So he assured her it was a huge trap, and only those who weren't afraid of death could try it, but she shouldn't; she was too old to handle the shock.
"No need, I don't plan to go back." She smiled what she thought was a polite smile.
Of course, this was entirely out of fear that Su Yan, that bastard, would pick a fight with her again; he may be shameless, but she still wanted a little bit.
"Alright, then we'll head over there first." Su Yan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the caution in her eyes.
Is he that terrifying now?
Never mind, he didn't intend to make things difficult for her any further.
Gu Luoqi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Yan had really gone over, and her body immediately relaxed.
The person next to Su Yan turned to look at her, his eyes filled with doubt. He deliberately lowered his voice, "What's going on with your childhood sweetheart?"
"I don't know." Su Yan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
These past few days he's been trying to recall if he'd ever offended Gu Luoxi, but his existing memories and experience tell him he hadn't.
"I feel a little uneasy when she doesn't come to see you," the boy said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan remained silent for a long time, so long that the boy thought he would never speak again.
"I'm not used to it either." He said softly, as if he were talking to a boy.
The boy was slightly startled, but then thought it was normal.
The system subtly analyzed Su Yan's current behavior for Gu Luoxi, "Is this like 'Woman, you have successfully caught my attention' in a domineering CEO novel?"
"Hehe." Gu Luoqi indicated that she had nothing to say, but that was not the point. The point was how the system knew the tricks of the domineering CEO?
The system clearly knew her little scheme. "You have a lot of books on your bookshelf at home, so I scanned them when I had some free time."
It initially did this entirely to understand Gu Luoqi, thinking that knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Later, it realized that it was completely unnecessary, because its host was not very bright, and it didn't need any fancy tricks to fool her.
"Did you see anything you shouldn't have seen?" Like, things like Mary Sue stories or the devilish school heartthrob falling in love with me.
Compared to domineering CEO novels, she found this the most incomprehensible.
"Oh, I've seen them all," the system said calmly.
It doesn't read books like humans do, word by word; it just scans them quickly without taking long.
"You've gone too far!" Gu Luoqi felt a surge of shame.
Waaaaah, this is so embarrassing! She should just move to another planet.
"Don't worry, host, I won't laugh at you." The system was particularly understanding; after all, everyone has a dark past.
Although it really doesn't...
Hahaha.
Gu Luoqi: "..." That's too much.
"Can't you watch something positive and uplifting?" she said, quite dissatisfied.
With so many books on her bookshelf, can't she see them?
"It's been scanned too." The system's tone remained unchanged.
Its words successfully shut Gu Luoqi up. Sigh, her system is just too dedicated.
Seeing Gu Luoqi eating angrily, Li Mingya finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright?"
Gu Luoqi was taken aback for a moment before realizing that she had been too obvious. "It's nothing," she said, feigning nonchalance.
“Just now they…” Li Mingya seemed a little embarrassed, because Gu Luoxi clearly didn’t like them.
"Oh, an old acquaintance." Gu Luoqi said nonchalantly.
“Well…” Li Mingya was unsure whether she should continue asking; she felt the situation was a bit complicated.
I have a feeling that it's more than just an old acquaintance as she described.
"We're childhood sweethearts, but there was a misunderstanding later on," Gu Luoqi said, trying to satisfy Li Mingya's curiosity.
"I see." Li Mingya had already guessed most of it upon hearing this, so there was no need to ask any further.
After finishing their meal, they returned to their dormitory. However, a small incident occurred that Gu Luoxi found quite bothersome: Su Yan had already paid for their meal!
This added to her already less-than-ideal mood, making her even more depressed.
This person is deliberately trying to upset her.
"Host, I knew it! You've successfully caught their attention."
“I don’t need to get his attention,” Gu Luoqi said coldly.
At this point, what's the point of saying this? If it were before, she might have been overjoyed, but the situation is clearly different now.
"A chance encounter can lead to unexpected success." The system searched its database for this phrase and thought it was quite fitting here.
Gu Luoqi was speechless. Sorry, let alone Su Yan looking down on her, even if he did, there was nothing she could do right now. She was burdened with the heavy responsibility of studying hard. Did he think she was having too easy a life and wanted to find things to do for herself?
"Stop talking, you're undermining my resolve to study. I still need to study hard," she said righteously.
Sure enough, the system was immediately convinced. Is there anything more important in the world than studying hard? Obviously not, at least not in its eyes.
"It's good that the host has this awareness. You're right, talking about feelings is a waste of brainpower, it's more important to study hard." The system immediately stated its position.
And he planned to keep a close eye on her from now on, so that she wouldn't be deceived by Su Yan.
Upon hearing this, Gu Luoxi thought, "Now it's all good; the world is indeed much quieter."
