It seems she still needs to visit the Leng family when she has time; their problems seem to be more serious than she thought.
As time passed, under the torment of Gong Rui and Chen Qiuyue, Qi Jiu, as they wished, accompanied them to an open class. However, she did not expect to witness a good show when she passed by the design classroom on her way out.
Qi Jiu couldn't help but stop walking when she saw Bai Liang still in the classroom after class.
What's Bai Liang doing here? I heard he's been preparing for a design competition and hasn't had any classes lately.
The two people next to her assumed she was just being gossipy, so they didn't say anything and just waited for her. They even unconsciously craned their necks to look inside.
In the classroom, by the window, Tong Lu stood like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs, her face serene and aloof as she sketched on paper with a pencil. Bathed in sunlight, she seemed to be coated with a layer of light.
Although the people around were holding books and clearly wanted to go up and say hello, they all seemed a little hesitant and in the end none of them went forward. At this moment, a figure appeared and blocked Tong Lu's way.
Qi Jiu looked at Han Jiayin's confident and radiant appearance, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
She was curious about Tong Lu's attitude towards Han Jiayin. Was he ignoring her, or was he softening his attitude a little for Bai Liang's sake?
"Senior Tong, it's so great that you're back! I've also entered the design competition this time, please give me your guidance!"
Han Jiayin's voice was slightly excited as she looked down at the lines Tong Lu had drawn, her eyes filled with envy. If one day she had such skills, would she also become a sought-after designer?
Tong Lu's face remained unchanged; he didn't even lift his eyelids, and his voice was cold and clear.
"You're blocking my light, move aside."
The classroom was already quiet, so even though Tong Lu's voice wasn't loud, it could be heard by everyone in the classroom now.
There were already many people in the design field who disliked Han Jiayin, and now that this incident has happened, even if they try to suppress the ridicule, the sheer volume of laughter from the group is still overwhelming.
Han Jiayin's face was visibly pale, the curve of her lips froze, and in an instant, she felt her face burning. The embarrassment made her wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Normally, Han Jiayin would have felt embarrassed and retaliated, but noticing so many people watching, she could only smile sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, senior, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to make friends with you. I'm a new design student and there are many things I don't understand. I hope you can help me."
This time, Tong Lu looked up, her dark hair flowing down slowly with her movements. Her bangs, which were supposed to add a touch of cuteness, inexplicably gave her a sense of world-weariness.
It is precisely this kind of expression that makes people afraid to approach.
"I remember you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Jiayin's smile widened. "Really, senior? I'm so sorry."
"Sorry? I don't see any embarrassment in you. I told you to move aside, but you're still standing in the light. I heard you were a pharmacy student before? You did well in pharmacy?"
This was like rubbing salt in the wound. Han Jiayin's expression changed slightly, and she forced a smile. "It's...it's alright. I prefer design."
Tong Lu nodded, her gaze fixed on the paper in her hand. "I don't lack friends. As for what you said, if you don't understand something, don't sign up for the competition. It's a waste of time. You'd be better off learning more. The greater your skills, the greater the things you can accomplish."
As she spoke, she paused, looked up at Han Jiayin, and her expression remained unchanged.
"If you don't understand something, go ask your teacher. Isn't your teacher right there? What kind of talk is it for you to come and ask me? I need to continue finishing my homework, so don't bother me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tong Lu lowered her head and ignored her, her slender and beautiful fingers continuing to draw on the paper with the pencil.
Seeing this, Qi Jiu chuckled at the door, turned her head to glance at the two girls still peeking into the classroom, and found it amusing. These two little girls were actually so curious?
"Let's go, the show's over."
"Huh? Oh."
The two hugged the books in their arms and followed Qi Jiu out of the teaching building. They didn't start talking until they were walking on the campus road.
"Senior Tonglu... she really is as aloof as the rumors say. But I like her!"
Gong Rui grinned, "Isn't this the heroine of a novel? A genius designer from China's top university, with a cool and aloof personality and a beautiful appearance, who was already recruited by the best design organization in the country in her sophomore year! What a legendary life!"
Seeing the longing in her eyes, Chen Yueqiu pursed her lips. "You've been reading too many novels? According to you, Qiqi's life is also that of a novel heroine."
"That's right!"
Speaking of this, Gong Rui has put all the energy she didn't have in class when she first arrived into her current state.
Those round eyes stared straight at Qi Jiu, and she seemed to have already imagined the plot of the novel in her mind, becoming more and more excited as she spoke.
"A girl who returned from abroad, a top student who crushes the top scorers in the college entrance examination, a pharmaceutical genius, a financial genius, and not only that, she is also the representative of the Xingyue branch! Her life is too fantastical, but I like it even more! Can I include you in my writing?"
Gong Rui was filled with excitement, jumping around while holding Qi Jiu's hand. Qi Jiu stood beside her, looking at her with tender eyes.
"That would be my honor."
Chen Yueqiu looked at Qi Jiu and smiled.
Actually, when she and Gong Rui learned in their dormitory that the representative of Qiqi Xingyue branch had a clone, they were surprised and delighted.
Why do I say that? Some people say that Qi Jiu is trying to climb the social ladder by attaching herself to the Shen family, while others say that Qi Jiu wants to become a phoenix by climbing the social ladder. But the identity that the stars and moon represent completely dispels all these rumors.
"But... Bai Liang was here just now, won't you offend him by saying that, Senior Tong?"
Gong Rui, who had been laughing and joking, suddenly spoke up as if she had thought of something.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yueqiu's expression changed slightly. To be honest, they really liked Senior Tong Lu. Bai Liang's reputation at school was only so-so. It would be a real pity if they offended him.
Don't worry, it won't happen.
"Um?"
The girl reached out and patted Gong Rui's fluffy head. "Bai Liang is a member of the Design Guild, as is Tong Lu. They are equals in the guild. Apart from being older, Bai Liang doesn't have any special status."
She paused as she spoke.
"Furthermore, before this, Bai Liang was not Tong Lu's teacher, and Tong Lu would not give him face because of that. On the contrary, Tong Lu has the aura of a genius girl, and the president and vice president of the design guild like her very much. Bai Liang would not dare to make things difficult for her."
