What happened to that aloof image? Can you just abandon it like that?
Looking at Qi Sheng's expression, Gu Luoqi's face immediately softened. "Good medicine tastes bitter, but it is good for the disease."
"But I'm cured." Qi Sheng's expression remained unchanged, his eyes gentle.
"Well... alright." Gu Luoqi was completely powerless against his attitude.
Upon seeing this situation, the system suddenly had a premature idea.
Could it be that the host is only responsive to gentle persuasion and not to force? Should it learn from Qi Sheng in the future?
Zhang Zeyu was having a pleasant chat with Li Mingya, but Qi Sheng's behavior threw him off balance.
So much so that it was extremely quiet for the rest of the time.
After saying goodbye after the meal, Cheng Cheng watched Zhang Zeyu and Qi Sheng walk away with an exaggerated expression on her face, "I never expected my brother to be like this."
That's just too much...so cute.
"Playing the victim is shameful," Gu Luoqi said calmly.
But who can blame her for falling for that?
"Tsk tsk tsk, now she's complaining again. Who was that person who was all doting and speechless just now?" Cheng Cheng clearly saw through Gu Luoxi's insincerity.
"You're so annoying. Why don't you just see through me and not say anything?" Gu Luoqi rolled her eyes at her. What a jerk, doesn't she know the rules?
"Wait... little brother?" Li Mingya was a little confused by their rapidly changing thoughts.
"Qi Sheng is her younger brother." Cheng Cheng suddenly remembered that Li Mingya didn't seem to know about this.
"Then why..." Li Mingya asked, somewhat surprised.
Then why don't Qi Sheng and Luo Xi have the same surname, and why is there something strange about what they're saying?
Cheng Cheng hesitated, glancing at Gu Luoxi, because she knew that Gu Luoxi had always wanted to avoid bringing up this matter.
Gu Luoxi smiled faintly, "Because we are not related by blood." She had long since let go of these things, so she felt no pressure even if she said them.
Li Mingya was quite perceptive, and based on Gu Luoqi's usual behavior, she instantly understood what she meant. "I'm sorry."
She was being abrupt.
"It's nothing, there's nothing to apologize for." Gu Luoqi smiled faintly.
Li Mingya was about to say something, but Gu Luoqi continued, "Let's walk a bit to digest our food, then go back for a nap. We have classes this afternoon."
Throughout the journey, Gu Luoqi chatted and laughed, seemingly unaffected by anything.
Meanwhile, somewhere on campus...
"Sheng Sheng, you've changed!" Zhang Zeyu shouted.
Qi Sheng's eyes darkened; all he wanted to do now was sew this guy's mouth shut.
Well, it's a bit embarrassing.
"Can you please be quiet?"
"No way! You're now complaining that I'm noisy? You really are a guy who values women over friends!" Zhang Zeyu's voice rose even higher.
Looking at him, if you didn't know better, you'd think it was a couple arguing.
Qi Sheng fluttered her eyelashes twice. Is it too late to break up now?
"Of course, that's not the point. The point is that you lied to me!" Zhang Zeyu instantly put on a dramatic act, looking like he had been abandoned.
Qi Sheng rubbed his forehead slightly. "Deception?" Even after knowing each other for so long, he still couldn't quite understand Zhang Zeyu's erratic thinking.
"Didn't you say you weren't familiar with them?" Zhang Zeyu said quietly.
Who was so calm back then?
"Is there a problem?" Qi Sheng looked completely innocent and harmless.
Zhang Zeyu: He calls this unfamiliar? He's not very bright, don't try to fool him.
"Then tell me properly what it means to be familiar with someone?" Zhang Zeyu became interested and looked like he was all ears.
Unexpectedly, Qi Sheng seemed to think about it seriously for a moment before answering, "I don't know." He seemed genuinely unaware, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Ha, I've seen through you." Zhang Zeyu turned his head to the side.
He did not accept this completely unreasonable perfunctory response.
...
Gu Luoqi arrived at the classroom in a daze; to be honest, she hadn't slept well during her afternoon nap.
According to the system, she was under immense pressure, to the point that she herself was unaware of it.
It was no surprise that her poor sleep caused her to doze off in class.
And since it's summer now, her overall condition has worsened.
But Xu Cheng caught her red-handed, and she immediately came to her senses. She was supposed to take the lead, and to be honest, it was a little embarrassing.
But he wouldn't mince words, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone dozing off? Aren't you going to pay attention in class? Do you think dozing off will improve your grades?"
Xu Cheng glanced at her with a sly look. "Pah, you hypocrite."
Gu Luoqi: This guy is pretty unruly.
Over the next few days, she devoted herself to reforming her deskmate and enjoyed it immensely.
She had long forgotten her initial resistance when the teacher first assigned her the task.
Because the vacation the system gave her has ended…
She resumed her old routine, and getting Xu Cheng to study hard became her only interest besides eating.
Finally, the holiday arrived, only to find out that Cheng Cheng wasn't going back. "Little Cheng, please, please come back with me this week."
She's been begging Xiao Chengzi for half an hour now, that heartless guy.
"I don't want to go back, it's too much trouble." Cheng Cheng frowned slightly, the long journey back and forth had made her already short vacation almost over.
"Don't you miss your mom, dad, and your cute little brother? They'll miss you." Gu Luoqi prepared to appeal to her emotions and reason with her.
"I think they're quite happy that I'm not going back, and there's nothing for me to do if I go back." Cheng Cheng thought about how her mother would look at her with disdain after she went back.
Not to mention her younger brother, whom she had bullied since childhood.
Gu Luoqi felt a sense of sympathy upon hearing this, but since she had a favor to ask, she pretended to be mysterious and said, "I have something very important to tell you."
"Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say." Cheng Cheng couldn't stand her hesitant manner the most.
Gu Luoqi was a little embarrassed when she said this, "It's nothing serious... you'll find out when the time comes."
"Then I won't go. No way." Cheng Cheng's expression turned cold.
"Actually... well, it's just that Qi Sheng's birthday is coming up soon, and I wanted you to come with me to pick out a gift." Gu Luoqi hesitated for a moment, then decided to just blurt it all out, since Xiao Chengzi would find out eventually anyway.
"Oh, I see. You should have said so earlier. You wasted so much time." Cheng Cheng seemed to be complaining about her concealment.
"Huh?" Gu Luoqi was a little surprised. When did Xiao Chengzi become so enthusiastic about Qi Sheng's affairs?
"We're all brothers, your brother is my brother too." Cheng Cheng patted his chest, looking incredibly heroic.
"All right."
Even if she didn't believe Xiao Chengzi's nonsense, she couldn't say anything, since she was the one asking for a favor.
"I'll go back with you this time," Cheng Cheng said calmly.
Normally her dad picks her up, but I remember he's been quite busy lately, so I won't bother him.
“Yes, I couldn’t be happier.” Gu Luoqi smiled insincerely.
"Is Ya Ya not going back this week?" Cheng Cheng asked with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
It's been several weeks since school started, and Li Mingya hasn't gone back even once.
"My home is far away, so I won't go back," Li Mingya said faintly after a moment of confusion.
