Anyway, there's more than one student from outside Erlin University now. If we handle the security well, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Although I don't know if it's true or not, since the principal said it, it probably isn't false.
Principal: "..." Very good, that's a very good point.
Listening, the girl nodded knowingly, glanced at the people beside her with a complicated expression in her eyes, and then left with the people behind her.
Fresh food supermarket.
Qi Jiu, pushing her stroller, had just turned a corner when she was stunned by the scene before her.
"Idol, how about we buy some beef and lamb? There are a lot of us, so let's take a little of everything?" Yu Qi held up the two pre-cut and packaged boxes and waved them at Qi Jiu.
As soon as I looked up, I saw her somewhat dazed expression.
Following her gaze, Yu Qi looked at the person beside her. It was a short, shoulder-length girl with fair skin, wearing a hoodie and jeans, with round eyes that subconsciously evoked a desire to protect her.
And the little girl was looking at Qi Jiu at that moment.
Leng Ruoan and her two companions, who happened to arrive just in time, were taken aback when they saw the three of them staring at each other.
What's wrong?
The quiet atmosphere was broken first by the unfamiliar young girl. "You're here too? What a coincidence."
Her eyes crinkle when she smiles, and she has a pair of dimples on her cheeks that are neither too deep nor too shallow, which makes her quite adorable.
These words reminded the people next to them of what Qi Jiu had said earlier, and they immediately had expressions of sudden realization.
Could this be...?
For some reason, novels about substitutes suddenly popped into my mind... Could it be that something will happen between this girl and Qiqi next?
The girl snapped out of her daze and nodded. "It is quite a coincidence."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Yu Qi, "Let's have a little of everything, there are many of us. Let's see if we have any beef brisket or anything like that here."
Then they saw her bend down and generously toss boxes of meat into the cart, leaving the people around her stunned.
"So this is what it's like to be rich. This life of being able to buy whatever you want is simply too wonderful." Chang Xiaoyuan shook his head with a sigh, looking at Qi Jiu as if she were a walking money, his mouth practically drooling.
If he kidnaps Qi Jiu now, wouldn't he get a lot of money? Although this idea is very unrealistic, it's still something to think about, right?
Seeing her actions, Chu Yu was taken aback, as if she had thought of something, and spoke tentatively.
Are you guys going to eat hot pot?
Yu Qi was taken aback, looking at her with some surprise. "You know about hot pot?"
Hot pot is a well-known Chinese delicacy, but now people can guess what they're going to eat just by looking at the ingredients. Isn't that amazing?
Chu Yu smiled and said, "I am of Chinese descent. Although I live in S country, I know a lot about Chinese food and lifestyle. Sometimes, I also go out for hot pot with my friends."
"Country S?"
Looking at the cart full of food, Qi Jiu looked up. "You're the exchange student between Erlin University and Country S?"
Chu Yu nodded. "Yes."
Finally, Qi Jiu and the others left the supermarket carrying large and small bags. Chu Yu had just finished paying and looked at the group of people leaving with her, lost in thought.
On this side, watching herself slowly leave the supermarket, Yu Qi carefully observed Qi Jiu's expression before finally speaking softly.
"Idol, why did you refuse just now?"
Just ten minutes ago, I was still in the supermarket.
Chu Yu smiled as she looked at the cart full of things.
"Thank you so much for what happened that day. I don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't helped me. But I really didn't expect a girl like you to be so capable."
As she spoke, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
But Qi Jiu's face showed no joy whatsoever; she didn't look like someone who had met someone who resembled a deceased friend.
“It’s a small matter. I believe that if it were someone else, as long as they don’t have any psychological issues, they would have helped you.”
As she spoke, she turned back and continued to pick up something from the side.
Seeing the sudden change in attitude, Chu Yu was a little confused and tentatively asked, "I don't have any friends in the US. Can we be friends?"
"I'm sorry, I have a lot of friends. If there's no future entanglement, let's just forget about it. I don't want to get involved with so many things."
Her refusal was quite obvious, and before Chu Yu could react, the girl had already pushed the cart away.
Although more than ten minutes had passed, seeing Qi Jiu's expression, they only dared to ask now.
Putting themselves in their shoes, if they saw someone who looked exactly like their friend, they would probably burst into tears at first sight.
Feeling the curious gazes of those around her, she lowered her eyes.
“Nan Chu is Nan Chu, and no one can replace her. Correspondingly, Chu Yu is Chu Yu. If I were to treat Chu Yu as a substitute for Nan Chu, that would be unfair, and it would also be unfair to Nan Chu.”
Her voice was calm, which silenced the people around her.
That seems to make sense; there shouldn't be any substitutes in this world.
But there was one crucial reason she didn't mention: Chu Yu's face showed obvious signs of disguise. Others might not be able to tell, but how could she not?
This makes it easy to suspect that she approached with a purpose, but if she had a purpose, how did those people know about Nan Chu?
There are many problems to face now, and it's probably not that simple.
Nan Chu has been gone for a long time, or perhaps... there's something wrong with The Matrix.
Hearing the girl's words, Yu Qi nodded, "That makes sense. But... you can treat her not as a substitute, but just as a regular friend?"
"Just looking at her strikingly similar face, one can't help but think of Nan Chu. Ordinary friends? It's not that simple."
Qi Jiu raised her hand and patted her little head.
If it were really that easy to forget, how could there be stand-in literature in novels? And how did a stand-in who looks exactly like the CEO's white moonlight appear?
Isn't it all because they can't forget each other that they found a substitute?
Although the things in the novel are exaggerated, art comes from life.
Yu Qi then realized what was happening and sighed. "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. I do find her pretty, but you're right, there's really no need to get involved."
Back at the apartment, An Ran and the others seemed to be still thinking about something, but the moment they saw Qi Jiu take out the hot pot base from her backpack, they couldn't hold back anymore.
