Chapter 13 New Roommate, Gu Lianxing
The boy subconsciously wanted to follow in, but Gu Lianxing turned around and raised her hand to stop him outside the door.
"Don't come in. The aunt downstairs said you have to leave within five minutes. Give me the things."
The boy had fair skin and was wearing a white top and gray casual pants. He had black-framed glasses under his half-long bangs. The lenses were visibly thick, making him look a little dull.
He nodded expressionlessly, pushed the box into the dormitory, and turned to leave.
Although they were of the opposite sex and helped move things, Shen Ci could feel that they were not a couple.
"My driver's son, majoring in mathematics."
Gu Lianxing casually explained.
Chen Ci understood. Looking at Gu Lianxing's appearance and temperament, it was not difficult to guess that she came from a good family. She was obviously a spoiled girl who had been raised in wealth since childhood.
Gu Lianxing came to the bed opposite Chen Ci and looked around, then said reluctantly, "Then I'll choose this one, opposite you."
As she spoke, she suddenly tilted her head and looked at Shen Ci with a raised lip and a smile: “You are so beautiful.”
Shen Ci was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect that this rich young lady's thinking was so jumpy, and she praised herself without any warning.
"You are beautiful too." She politely complimented him back, and Gu Lianxing was indeed very beautiful, the kind of bright and beautiful.
The next second, Gu Lianxing curled her lips and said, "This dormitory looks like it's been empty for quite a while. There's a thick layer of dust everywhere."
"You probably don't know how to clean either, right?" Shen Ci looked at her and asked.
Gu Lianxing nodded without hesitation, looked at Chen Ci with some embarrassment and said, "If I let you clean it alone, would it seem like I'm being a bit excessive?"
"I can treat you to a big meal!" Gu Lianxing's eyes lit up.
Chen Ci couldn't help laughing at the moment. Her new roommate was not only pretty but also cute. She liked her a little.
“Leave it to me,” Shen Ci said, pulling out his phone and fiddling with it.
Gu Lianxing leaned over to take a look out of curiosity, only to see that Chen Ci had clicked on a group called "USTC Dormitory Cleaning Order Group".
"West District Women's Dormitory, Building C, Room 336, cleaning service. 3 spots available. 1 cent per person. First come, first served."
Someone in the group immediately jumped out to take the order.
Gu Lianxing blinked in surprise: "Is this possible?"
Chen Ci explained softly, "This group is full of students from our university, both boys and girls. They are basically people from poor families. They usually take some dormitory cleaning jobs in the group to earn some living expenses."
She was invited to this group by her classmates when she first enrolled in school. Although as a special admission student of the school she received some subsidies every month, she still occasionally took orders in the group to earn some extra money. Later, after she got together with Li Xiao, Li Xiao disagreed, so she stopped taking orders.
But she never left this group, and it came in handy today.
Not long after, three girls knocked on the dormitory door with tools. They were all freshmen.
"Hello, Senior."
The girls were very polite. Chen Ci took the initiative to speak and instructed: "This is an empty dormitory. There should be many dead corners. You have to do a deep cleaning."
One cent per person was a very high price, and when Shen Ci quoted the price, he also took into account the need for deep cleaning of the dormitory, so he increased the remuneration.
Gu Lianxing also quickly spoke up: "Especially the bathroom, it must be cleaned."
Several junior schoolmates nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, senior sister, just leave it to us."
The dormitory cleaning takes two hours, and standing here would be in the way. Chen Ci looked at Gu Lianxing and asked, "Shall we go out for a walk first?"
Gu Lianxing naturally had no objection. She didn't want to stay in the dormitory when the dust was flying everywhere during cleaning.
But after leaving the dormitory, Gu Lianxing was extremely silent all the way and didn't say a word.
Shen Ci was full of confusion. When she was wondering, the other party suddenly turned around and looked at her and shouted: "Ah!"
Shen Ci was startled and stood there in shock: "Huh?"
"I finally remembered, Chen Ci, right? I remember you!" Gu Lianxing looked at her excitedly and said, "You are Li Xiao's girlfriend. When you first entered school last year, someone took a picture of you and posted it on the school forum. I saw it!"
"Oh, I finally remembered. I was so anxious. I felt familiar the moment I saw you. After knowing your name, I felt like I must have heard it before. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered it."
As she said this, she let out a long sigh and looked relieved.
Chen Ci was speechless and found it funny. It turned out that she was suddenly silent because she was trying to remember who she was.
But from the tone she used when she mentioned Li Xiao, it seemed like she was very familiar with him.
"Do you know Li Xiao?" Chen Ci asked tentatively.
Gu Lianxing curled her lips and nodded, "Yes, my dad and his dad are friends in the business world. We've known each other since we were very young, but we didn't have many opportunities to meet, so we weren't very familiar with each other. We only saw each other occasionally when the elders met for social events."
"But I know you're in love. I saw Li Xiao confessing his love to you downstairs in the girls' dormitory with roses in his hands."
"I broke up with him." Shen Ci was afraid that she would say anything beautiful or envious, so she quickly interrupted her.
Gu Lianxing opened her mouth: "Huh?"
Shen Ci smiled calmly, looked at Gu Lianxing and nodded slightly.
Gu Lianxing's expression changed slightly, but she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Shen Ci pursed her lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In her previous life, Li Xiao plagiarized her thesis three years later, so she obviously couldn't use this as an excuse at this time.
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered into Gu Lianxing's ear, "He's not very good at that..."
"That? Which one?" Gu Lianxing blinked blankly, and after noticing Chen Ci's meaningful expression, her pretty face flushed all the way to her neck: "That, that, that one?"
Chen Ci raised her finger and placed it across her lips, signaling her not to say anything: "Don't tell anyone else."
Noticing that there was no one around, Gu Lianxing's shy expression instantly changed, and she lowered her voice and asked doubtfully, "That shouldn't be the case. He...he looks quite capable!"
Shen Ci shook his head in disappointment: "Don't judge a person by his appearance."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Gu Lianxing also shook her head: "It's all in vain that you're over 1.8 meters tall."
Because of this topic, the relationship between the two suddenly became much closer. They walked hand in hand through the west district playground and out of the school gate. Gu Lianxing said that she would treat Shen Ci to a breakup meal.
As a result, both of them appeared in a fly-infested restaurant in the snack street behind the University of Science and Technology.
Gu Lianxing looked around with disgust, then picked up a tissue and wiped the table in front of her over and over again, but no matter how many times she wiped, oil stains still appeared.
"I told you to have a nice dinner, and you chose this place?"
