Lin Xiao was walking under the shade of the trees on the playground when a girl blocked his way.
Gu Qisi put her hands behind her back and smiled slightly at the handsome man in front of her.
"Teacher, can you wait a moment? I need to talk to you about something. I wonder if you're free?"
Behind them was a group of Gu Qisi's best friends, who were gossiping and watching Lin Xiao and the others.
Lin Xiao glanced at her out of the corner of his eye; of course he saw it, so he didn't intend to refuse Gu Qisi's suggestion.
"Okay, where should we meet?"
Gu Qi thought for a moment and then arranged to meet her teacher at a shop near her home.
That way, everyone can see that this person has also been captivated by her charm, hehe…
Gu Qisi treated Lin Xiao to a meal at her friend's restaurant.
As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." You get the kind of friends you are.
When Gu Qisi arrived at her friend's restaurant, she saw her friend greeting her with a smile.
"Oh, isn't this Qisi? What brings you here to help me at this time?"
Li Xilan is a career-oriented woman. She runs a popular restaurant while still in school, making her one of the bolder girls out there.
Although she knew Gu Qisi's character and background, and that she was also a woman driven by self-interest, it didn't actually affect her 'friendship' with Gu Qisi.
Li Xilan noticed the boy next to her; he was someone she had never seen before, and must be someone Gu Qisi had just met.
"Oh, and who is this?"
"This is a teacher at our school. Don't let his teacher status fool you, he's quite young and handsome. Old friend, give me the same old thing."
"good."
Eating wasn't the main point, Lin Xiao knew that very well, but he also noticed that the woman's attitude towards Gu Qisi was different.
But these are not things he should worry about now. He just needs to figure out exactly where this woman's strength lies.
Lin Xiao subtly probed him, saying, "It's not good for girls to eat spicy food, you should eat less of it."
Gu Qisi chuckled lightly, for the first time daring someone to care about what she ate.
If it were someone else, they would have already flattered them; why would they do something like this?
"Are you worried about me? It's okay, I'm used to it."
"There is one question I'd like to ask you, teacher: do you have a girlfriend now?"
Asking so directly is typical of Gu Qisi's style. Doesn't Lin Xiao feel embarrassed? He's already experienced the most embarrassing things, so he's not afraid of these anymore.
"Hehe, the teacher doesn't have a girlfriend yet, but isn't it a bit premature for you, as a student, to be concerned about these issues?"
"Is the teacher genuinely unaware or just pretending? At this age, we kids from wealthy families are either already engaged or inheriting the family business."
"So, the question the teacher asked isn't what I need to think about. Besides, I like the teacher, but I wonder if the teacher likes me back."
Lin Xiao frowned. This girl was too direct; he didn't really like it, but since it concerned Gu Nanxi, he kindly spoke to her about it anyway.
"The teacher doesn't have a girlfriend and doesn't plan to consider those things first, because he prioritizes his career."
Gu Qisi took out two movie tickets and gave one to Lin Xiao so she could take it.
"This is the latest movie, and the director is my favorite. Would you like to go see it with me sometime?"
Lin Xiao considered his time and realized that he would have no time left after seeing Gu Nanxi, so he simply declined.
"Um, I'm sorry, I'm going to see Gu Nanxi this afternoon, since I happen to have some time."
Gu Qisi was a little surprised because very few people would refuse her like this. This teacher surnamed Lin was the first. What was his reason?
She heard it and felt the jealousy and anger within herself!
This person was telling her that he was going to see if Gu Nanxi was considering her, clearly implying that he was keeping her as a backup option.
Or is Gu Nanxi more important? What's so interesting about a sickly man who's about to die? It's better to look at this beautiful woman.
Gu Qisi suppressed her anger and decided to have a good talk with Lin Xiao.
"Teacher, what did you just say? If I'm not mistaken, are you talking about my brother?"
She sneered, "He's lying at home right now, it's the same every day, what's so interesting about him? Teacher, you might as well keep me company, I like you too."
Lin Xiao was angry. He didn't like people talking about Gu Nanxi like that. That person was so pitiful. It was one thing for others not to agree with him, but why did they have the right to laugh at him?
He glared at the girl's outspokenness and fearlessness, "Speak properly, that's your brother, why are you talking about him like that?"
Seeing that the person she was interested in was now protecting that bitch Gu Qisi, she became even angrier, and her words turned venomous.
"Why didn't you tell me about him? Why? Why do you all like him so much and help him so much when he's clearly just a useless person!"
"And my father too, he liked that bitch so much before. If it weren't for my mother, never mind, I'm going to talk about him. What can you do about it, teacher?"
Having been provoked, the young lady naturally wouldn't let Lin Xiao off so easily, so her tone towards Lin Xiao became harsh.
"That's settled then. I won't go see this movie either. You can watch it by yourself."
Lin Xiao wanted to leave, but found that his hands were tied. He glanced impatiently at the person who caused it.
"Is there anything else, Miss Gu?"
Gu Qisi smiled mischievously; how could she possibly let Lin Xiao off so easily?
Now that Lin Xiao knows the truth, there's no need for him to hide his true nature.
"Really? I don't think I said you could leave. No, you have to come with me to the movies, or I'll have the doctor stop Gu Nanxi's medication. You'll see if I dare."
Lin Xiao was indeed threatened, because with Gu Nanxi's current strength, she was no match for this high and mighty young lady.
So he could only negotiate with her if he had something on her.
Lin Xiao looks really cool when he falls silent, but does that mean he's giving in?
"Well, teacher, you've agreed, right? Let's go see a movie. The movie we're seeing today is pretty good."
Ignoring Lin Xiao's sullen face, Gu Qisi grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and walked towards the movie theater.
Lin Xiao missed the tutoring session for Gu Nanxi today, something Lin Xiao always remembered.
After watching the movie, the first thing Gu Qisi wanted to ask the person next to her was whether he would agree to be her boyfriend.
If she didn't agree, she had already planned to use Gu Nanxi as a tool to threaten her.
