Chapter 6 Changing Beds
Just then, Li Mu, who had gone upstairs to buy food, returned and brought over a plate of beautifully colored steak.
Nan'an Middle School has three canteens, each with five floors, offering a wide variety of cuisines from all over the world, including Western and Chinese food. It's so delicious that even pampered young masters and ladies wouldn't say that the food in the canteen is bad.
When Li Mu entered the cafeteria, he went straight to the third floor to eat steak, saying that the Western food on the third floor was something that people from outside the school wanted to try.
However, Guan Xiang didn't really like it. After all, she had eaten it for many years at the neighboring middle school and had long since lost interest in it. So she stayed on the second floor and ate with Gu Zhaodi.
"Oh, Zhao Di, this is all you eat?" Li Mu said, showing off his superiority as soon as he sat down. "Don't you have money for food?"
After saying that, she stared at Gu Zhaodi with her big eyes, looking completely innocent and harmless.
Before the girl could say anything, Guan Xiang, sitting opposite her, frowned and said, "What's it to you? Just eat your food."
Li Mu immediately calmed down. Her own family's financial situation was average; they were just an ordinary working-class family.
Having finally gotten into this prestigious private school, seeing that everyone here was from a wealthy family, I naturally felt a sense of inferiority.
Seeing that Gu Zhaodi's conditions were not as good as his own, he thought it would be a good opportunity to be friends with her. This way, he could both highlight his own sense of superiority and cover up his inferiority complex.
Unexpectedly, Guan Xiang, this pampered young lady, is trying to steal my man at every turn.
Gu Zhaodi glanced at Guan Xiang gratefully, thanking her for standing up for her.
Guan Xiang raised her chin, indicating that these were all minor matters.
After dinner, the three returned to their dormitory and discovered that Deng Xixue and Li Mu's beds had been changed.
"Who did this?" Li Mu looked at the mess of his belongings on the table and felt a headache coming on.
A person came out of the bathroom. Deng Xixue, wearing a face mask, said calmly, "I changed it. What's wrong?"
"How dare you touch my things without my permission? What gives you the right?" Li Mu demanded an explanation.
Deng Xixue narrowed her eyes, her tone full of disdain and arrogance, "Just because my father is a school board member."
The dormitory was arranged with two beds on one side. Guan Xiang and Gu Zhaodi were on the same side. Guan Xiang's bed was near the balcony. Deng Xixue didn't want her original bed near the door, but she didn't dare to compete with Guan Xiang for the bed, so she could only bully Li Mu, who had no background.
Li Mu's face flushed red and then turned pale. He pursed his lips and couldn't utter a word for a long time, so he could only turn his gaze to the other two people in the dormitory.
Guan Xiang and Gu Zhaodi had no intention of helping her, since the incident in the cafeteria hadn't gone very well, and both of them felt they should stay away from this person.
With no other option, Li Mu had to sheepishly pack his things, harboring resentment towards the three people in his dormitory.
While Li Mu was packing his things, Guan Xiang was pulling Gu Zhaodi to try out her sunscreen.
Looking at her arms covered in various sunscreens, the girl felt a little helpless.
"Zhao Zhao, let me tell you, fair skin makes a girl more beautiful. You're pretty, but you're a bit dark-skinned." Guan Xiang kept busy with her hands and kept talking, "You need to take extra care to protect yourself from the sun during military training so you don't get sunburned."
Actually, Gu Zhaodi wanted to say that she had been doing farm work all summer and her skin was no longer susceptible to sunburn, so she could withstand the sun during military training.
However, Guan Xiang didn't give herself a chance to speak at all, her mouth babbling on and on.
"alright."
Guan Xiang finally finished painting the girl's face. Looking at her masterpiece, she was very satisfied. Sure enough, she hadn't misjudged Zhao Zhao; she was a natural beauty.
The girl looked at Guan Xiang in front of her, wondering why she was smiling so much...
"Here, this bottle is for you, consider it a small gift." Guan Xiang handed the freshly opened sunscreen to Gu Zhaodi.
"No, this is too valuable, I can't accept it." The girl didn't take it, but frowned and refused.
Guan Xiang thought for a moment and said, "I only gave this to you because I consider you a friend. It's just a small gift. Besides, it's not very expensive, and I have another pack."
At this moment, Deng Xixue, who was applying a face mask, spoke up: "Miss Guan is really stingy. This bottle isn't even from a big brand. Unlike these on my table, which cost tens of thousands of yuan a bottle."
"Yes, yes, you, Miss Deng, are rich." Guan Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Li Mu, who was making the bed, overheard this and secretly glanced at Deng Xixue's table, which was covered with a dazzling array of cosmetics, with sunscreen taking up half of it.
Unable to resist Guan Xiang's insistence, Gu Zhaodi had no choice but to accept her kindness, thinking of giving her a gift in return later.
Tonight, the students will be able to go home for one last night, so most of the students have gone back to school. Not to mention Dan Si, who doesn't like going to school, he went back to Dan Yuan early, and his younger brother helped him tidy up his dormitory.
"Dan Si, you were late for school today." As soon as Dan Anwen returned to Dan Garden, he began to question Dan Si about what had happened that day.
Dan Si paused in his TV-watching gaze, then chuckled, "Uncle, I overslept, but I was the last one to arrive."
He hoped his uncle would forgive him since he had gone to school.
Dan Anwen didn't say anything, just glanced at him indifferently. His older brother and sister-in-law had gone out for training, leaving this nephew to be taken care of by him. It was really a headache.
Seeing that the man didn't speak, and that Dan Si felt inexplicably trembling, the air froze. He could only change the subject first, "Uncle, a girl came to our school today. Her name is Gu Zhaodi."
"She looks quite well-behaved and cute, hehe."
After a few awkward laughs, the man's thick eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
Just when he thought he was doomed, the man spoke up, "This is the last time."
"Alright," Dan Si replied quickly.
"And..." Dan Anwen said again in a low voice, "Don't ruin those young girls' lives."
Watching the man's departing figure, Dan Si breathed a sigh of relief, then wondered if his uncle had misunderstood something.
How could I be so blind as to like such a skinny girl?
However, my uncle really does look gentle and refined, but he is actually a huge smiling tiger. Such businessmen are the most terrifying in the business world.
......
Under the scorching summer sun, the playground was like a giant steamer, constantly emitting heat that made the students' faces flush and caused sweat to stream down their faces.
After a morning of military training, which consisted of standing at attention all morning, Gu Zhaodi felt her legs trembling and shaking.
Guan Xiang, standing to the side, was in an even worse state, lying on the ground, constantly crying out that she was exhausted.
"Zhao Zhao, why do we have to do military training?" Guan Xiang's weak voice came through, light and airy.
The girl thought about it seriously for a while before saying slowly, "Perhaps it's for the prosperity of the country."
Guan Xiang's lips twitched; she didn't know how to answer the naive Gu Zhaodi.
With a whistle, the morning military training finally came to an end. Guan Xiang quickly pulled Gu Zhaodi towards the canteen, a stark contrast to her weak and powerless appearance just now.
The whistling wind carried Guan Xiang's panting breaths and Gu Zhaodi's urging her to slow down, "Let's run faster, or there won't be any good food left."
During military training, freshmen can only eat at the No. 1 canteen because they are afraid that they will steal food from the senior students in grades 11 and 12.
If you were to ask Guan Xiang what she likes most, the first thing would be beautiful women, and the second thing would be delicious food.
Guan Xiang's nimble body carried Gu Zhaodi's petite frame, and they easily squeezed to the front of the food-grabbing crowd.
With a "thud," Guan Xiang and Gu Zhaodi both fell to the ground.
The tall figure in front of him stumbled and almost fell.
Gu Zhaodi felt dizzy and shook her head.
Guan Xiang quickly stood up, patted her clothes, pulled Gu Zhaodi to her feet, and cursed, "Which blind fool bumped into me?"
The boy in front steadied himself, turned around, and said in a clear voice, "Excuse me, it seems like you bumped into me."
"If you hadn't suddenly changed direction, would I have bumped into you?" Guan Xiang said.
The boy raised an eyebrow and asked patiently, "So what do you want to do?"
After he said that, Guan Xiang seemed to be at a loss for what to do. She had bumped into him and acted aggressively in a moment of anger.
I was thinking of scolding him because of his bad attitude, but I didn't expect him to be so nice.
Gu Zhaodi finally came to her senses, tugged at Guan Xiang's arm, and said to the boy, "You're all right now, classmate, you can go ahead."
After the boy walked away, Guan Xiang said, "Zhao Zhao, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, things would have been awkward."
"It's okay, let's hurry to the cafeteria, the playground is almost deserted." The girl waved her hand.
"Ah, that's true."
As he spoke, he grabbed the girl and ran wildly toward the cafeteria.
