Chapter 269: Poor Princess (XVIII)
"I'm sorry! Gu Sinian, I'm so sorry!"
Su Xiaoxiao stood obediently in front of Gu Sinian like a child who had made a mistake, and kept apologizing.
Gu Sinian forced a smile and said against his will, "It's okay! You mean well! You want to help!"
It was just a good intention that led to a bad result!
But, even if it was well-intentioned, but the result was terrible, is it worth forgiving?
Even a compliment?!
Gu Sinian's thoughts were in a mess.
He found that what he thought was beautiful was actually terrible! And he seemed to have made a fool of himself! Strange, why is this happening?
Gu Sinian is a top student and is very good in science.
Logically speaking, he should be a very rational science and engineering man, with a strong sense of logic and a strong concept of right and wrong.
But why did he think that the reckless and trouble-making Su Xiaoxiao was "cute"? Without continuing to spend time alone with Su Xiaoxiao, even for just a week, Gu Sinian, who was caught up in the plot, began to have some normal thinking.
"Yeah! I wanted to help you! But I'm just too stupid and always get into trouble!"
Su Xiaoxiao saw that Gu Sinian was not angry as usual, so she let out a breath quietly.
She pouted and started to act coquettishly with Gu Sinian, "Like those papers, I really can't do them!"
"But you're not in school for evening self-study, and I can't find anyone to help me!"
"Gu Sinian, how about I come to your house after school?"
When Su Xiaoxiao said this, her eyes lit up. Oh, how come I came up with this good idea just now?
She said excitedly, "You help me with the questions and I'll help you with the work! Okay!"
"Let's help each other, just like we used to! Okay! Okay!"
At the end, Su Xiaoxiao began to draw out her voice.
Her appearance is not very outstanding, at most she is pretty.
The only bright spot is probably a pair of eyes.
Her eyes are not beautiful, but lively.
Her big, clear eyes flickered, making her whole face look very lively.
Like a naughty little angel, and also like a cute little puppy.
She makes mistakes occasionally, but she is kind at heart.
Gu Sinian: ...
Why do you have such a strange idea again?
He shook his head vigorously, trying to regain his sanity.
"Let's not do that! My little restaurant is too busy, with people coming and going. Even if you stay on the second floor, you can still hear the noise."
Gu Sinian is a top student and he can calm down and study even in a busy city.
But Su Xiaoxiao is different.
She is lively and easily attracted by external things.
Even though it was the same test paper, Gu Sinian could concentrate on doing the questions quietly.
As for Su Xiaoxiao, she would open the door for others, then run out to go to the toilet. While going to the toilet, she would also help the cleaning lady with some chores.
Of course, Su Xiaoxiao doesn't get into trouble all the time.
She still has her moments of "success".
Therefore, her kind and beautiful personality still stands.
Only those who are very close to her and always get along with her will know how "magical" this person is! Unfortunately, Gu Sinian, who has been a classmate of Su Xiaoxiao since junior high school, is Su Xiaoxiao's best friend.
She was also the one who was "taken care of" the most! In the past, Gu Sinian seemed to be possessed by a demon. No matter how many shortcomings Su Xiaoxiao had, they were all cute little flaws in his eyes.
But now——
Thinking back to when the two of them were doing homework together, and how Su Xiaoxiao wasn't paying attention at all, Gu Sinian felt a little annoyed.
I don't feel disgusted at all, but I just think that Su Xiaoxiao's behavior is not right.
Since you want to study, you must calm down and study well.
He is distracted all the time and runs around everywhere. Is this ADHD or does he simply not want to study?
Gu Sinian is indeed talented, but he is not a lazy person.
As a top student who loves to study and works hard, even if I don’t dislike those poor students who don’t like to study and always like to do small things, I won’t like them! Gu Sinian: ...It’s really weird!
As smart as Gu Sinian is, he vaguely discovered the problem.
However, Gu Sinian did not show it.
He lowered his eyelids and began to say words of refusal, "Xiaoxiao, my home is not a good place to study!"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised that Gu Sinian actually said "no" to her.
She pouted and said unhappily, "But I don't want to be alone. I just want to practice with you."
Stay with me? Or let me help you with the questions?
"But I really need help at home, so I'll be home from now on! How about this, if you have any questions, I'll help you during the break in the daytime!"
Gu Sinian was very persistent.
He had already noticed that something was wrong and was going to continue the experiment.
Because he wanted to see what was wrong with him !
Su Xiaoxiao was unwilling to accept this.
There isn't enough time between classes.
She also has to help the teacher get things, and do work for the security guard, the cleaning lady and others.
Besides, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with Gu Sinian.
The school is very strict in cracking down on "premature love".
She only regarded Gu Sinian as a friend, and it would be bad if teachers and classmates misunderstood and regarded them as a couple.
Therefore, even if Su Xiaoxiao wanted to ask Gu Sinian for tutoring, it was only after the evening self-study class.
"Gu Sinian, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm annoying?"
Su Xiaoxiao began to look aggrieved and pitiful, "I know I'm not smart enough! But I really think of you as my good friend!"
"Aren't good friends supposed to help each other?"
"Okay! It's a deal. After school, I'll come to your house and help you with the test paper. I can also help you with your chores!"
The Gu family’s small restaurant has become an Internet celebrity now.
As Gu Sinian's classmate, it seemed reasonable for her to come here to "check in".
There is less than a month left before the college entrance examination, and Su Xiaoxiao really needs Gu Sinian, the top student, to be her tutor.
Su Xiaoxiao made the decision on her own and ran out in a hurry without waiting for Gu Sinian's consent.
Gu Sinian: ...
He discovered that Su Xiaoxiao not only loved to get into trouble, but also couldn't understand others' rejection! A certain beautiful image in his mind collapsed again.
…
Gu Qingcheng stayed in the hotel for one night and took the earliest flight back the next day.
After leaving the airport lobby and taking the airport bus, Gu Qingcheng returned to the urban village an hour later.
She did not rush back to school to end her vacation, but met with her parents, grandparents, etc. first.
"Huh? Why has the restaurant changed its appearance?"
As soon as she walked into the small restaurant on the first floor, Gu Qingcheng was a little stunned.
There are some photos on the wall with a literary atmosphere.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
And the protagonist of the photos is her! "Look! That's Gu Qingcheng!"
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful! Even better than the photos on the Internet!"
"She's totally natural! She's definitely not wearing any makeup. I can even see the little fuzz on her chin!"
"Quick! Take a picture! I've been here several times and finally I see the real person!"
It wasn't even noon yet and there were already young people coming to check in.
They were originally just strolling around the small restaurant, but when they saw Gu Qingcheng come in, they all followed.
Soon a crowd gathered, marveling at the scene, talking about it, and taking secret photos.
Although she became the focus of everyone's attention, Gu Qingcheng did not feel uncomfortable at all.
She was still so natural, and did not dodge or be shy when facing those candid cameras.
"Wow! She has such a great temperament!"
“I feel more like a celebrity than a star.”
"Tsk, he's a top student and a volunteer who dares to go to the disaster area."
"Yeah, I feel like comparing her to a celebrity is a little inappropriate."
Many people chase after the entertainment industry and regard celebrities as idols.
But deep down, they may not really take celebrities that seriously.
The concept of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans has been passed down for two thousand years and has long been deeply rooted.
But celebrities are still regarded as actors.
As someone who has appeared on the imperial stage, a positive and top student from a prestigious university, and a published author, Gu Qingcheng is subconsciously highly regarded by the public.
"She is both beautiful and talented, and she has such positive energy. She is a role model for the younger generation."
"I'm a fan. I declare that from now on I'm a fan of the book 'One Glance at a Time'." And also a fan of the book's looks.
There are more and more people in the small restaurant.
Gu Qingcheng remained natural.
On the contrary, Gu's father and mother finally saw their daughter and wanted to have a good chat with her, but they found that their own small restaurant was packed with people.
The two of them suddenly became a little uncomfortable, not knowing what to do with their hands and feet.
It was Gu Qingcheng again. She looked at the clock on the wall and it was almost eleven o'clock.
She picked up the order book and walked to the first table of "customers". "Hello, what would you like to eat?"
The three little girls blushed.
There is excitement and also shyness.
Ahem, they come in just to see the beauties.
I don't feel like eating at all.
However, since the beauty had spoken, it was difficult for them to refuse, and it was even more difficult for them to just stand up and leave.
"Whatever! Oh, no, I mean, what's your signature dish?"
One of the little girls said a little nervously.
"My dad's braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and flavored eggplant are all delicious!"
Gu Qingcheng spoke in a serious tone.
Although she was acting as a waitress at the moment, she was not humble at all.
She is very formulaic and professional!
"Okay! Then let's have one of each!"
The little girl said hurriedly.
Gu Qingcheng continued to ask in a formulaic way: "What about the staple food? Rice? Steamed buns? Or noodles?"
"Rice, rice!"
As she said this, the little girl looked at her companions.
Seeing the other two girls nod, he said, "Three bowls of rice!"
"Okay! Wait a minute!"
Gu Qingcheng quickly wrote the menu and went to the next table.
Among the crowd, some who reacted quickly and were not sitting originally rushed to occupy the seats closest to them.
Gu Qingcheng ordered dishes for each table.
There were many more standing.
Gu Qingcheng did not ignore it either. She tore a piece of paper from the order book, wrote down the number, and distributed it to the people who were standing one by one.
“Is this the waiting number?”
"Wow! The lady's handwriting is so beautiful, it's not Arabic numerals, but capital numbers!"
"Yes! This is number thirty-six! Number 36!"
"Oh my god, it's still in traditional Chinese. The lady is so retro!"
The people who got the number papers were a little surprised and even disdainful at first - come on, a street-side fly-in-the-wall restaurant is actually following those high-end restaurants and using ranking numbers.
But, when I unfolded the number paper, wow, it smells so good!
Needless to say, just for the young lady's beautiful handwriting, they all wanted to wait.
Not to mention, you can watch the young lady up close, and she will "serve" you personally.
Wow, it's worth it even if the food is bad!
