Gong Rui: "??" What's going on? Why is Qi Qi sitting there?
Chen Yueqiu seemed to notice that something was wrong with her, and followed her gaze. Sure enough, she saw the girl's figure not far away.
"Is that Qiqi?"
"Yueqiu, look who's that man chatting and laughing with Qiqi? He looks familiar... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before..."
Gong Rui seemed to want to see more clearly, her big eyes narrowed into slits. She could see clearly, but she just couldn't figure out who the man was.
As Chen Yueqiu looked at the distinguished man, a name quickly came to mind. A flash of shock crossed her eyes.
She coughed softly and spoke mechanically, "Young Master Qi, Qi, Qi Silin."
Upon hearing the answer, Gong Rui was stunned and turned her head sharply.
"Qi Silin?! No wonder he looked familiar, so he's the one who had a rumored relationship with our Qiqi. He's really handsome! But... only someone with Qiqi's looks could pull him off."
So, the current situation is that Qi Jiu prioritizes romance over friendship and has chosen to sit next to Qi Silin?
Qi Jiu: "..."
On this side, Qi Silin looked at the girl sitting beside him, his fingers instinctively gripping her sleeve. Just like before, he held on tightly.
"You're back? I thought I'd be watching your opening ceremony all alone."
Qi Silin's tone was inexplicably mournful. He had taken great care in preparing for this, and he couldn't let the time slip by so carelessly.
The girl smiled. "That was how it was supposed to be, but the air in the lounge wasn't very good, so I came out."
Xiao Chuan: "..."
Because she had class the next day, Qi Jiu chose to stay in the dormitory.
That night in the dormitory was relatively cheerful.
Previously, Gong Rui and Chen Yueqiu were quite wary of Leng Ruo's existence, but now that they have found that she has not taken any action and seems to have no ill intentions towards them, they seem to have gotten used to it and are slowly beginning to unleash their true nature.
"Wow, time flies! Classes start tomorrow. I wonder how strict the professors at University A are."
Gong Rui pursed her lips, then, as if remembering something, looked at Qi Jiu, who was sitting on the bed fiddling with her computer, "Qi Qi, didn't you meet some professors from University A before? What were they like? Weren't they fierce? They..."
The girl stopped typing on the keyboard, looked at her, and thought seriously for two seconds.
"It seems...not too fierce."
Everyone's eyes started glowing green as they looked at her, their eyes filled with a kind of greed. That shouldn't be considered fierce, right?
The professors: "..."
Hearing the answer, Gong Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
She has been terrified of teachers since she was a child. Although she was a good student and was always praised by her teachers, she developed a condition where she would tremble whenever she saw a teacher.
Other students: "..."
Is it possible that we are like that too?
On the other side, out of sight of everyone, Leng Ruo, who had been silent all along, looked at the candy in her hand with a conflicted expression in her eyes.
Actually, she doesn't like socializing, probably because she's been independent since childhood, but then she remembered what her brother said that day...
No, social skills are part of the college entrance exam, and she needs to take action!
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly stood up.
The sound of the chair being pulled drew the attention of the other three people in the dormitory.
Leng Ruo remained expressionless as always, clutching the candy in her hand, and approached Gong Rui.
Under the tense and slightly fearful gazes of Gong Rui and Chen Yueqiu, he stuffed the candy into their hands, remaining completely silent throughout.
Gong Rui: "??"
Chen Yueqiu: "??" What's going on?
"Thank you, thank you."
Before they could react, Leng Ruo had already left their side and arrived at Qi Jiu's location.
Since the girl was sitting on the bed holding a computer, Leng Ruo raised her arm and placed the candy next to Qi Jiu. The series of actions were quick, and she returned to her seat without saying a word.
The girl stared blankly at the candy beside her, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Thank you."
She picked up the candy with her slender fingers, looked at the packaging, and her dark eyes turned slightly, spotting Leng Ruo sitting in her seat not far away.
That look was like sizing someone up, or perhaps observing them.
At this moment, from an angle unseen by others, the screen of the computer in the girl's arms displayed a profile of a person, with the photo in the upper left corner being that of Leng Ruo, who had just come to give her candy.
Name: Leng Ruo
Gender: Female
Nationality: China
Ancestral home: Eldest daughter of the reclusive Leng family in City A
...
A hidden family?
Qi Jiu peeled the candy from her hand and put it in her mouth. The strong mango flavor exploded in her mouth, but the candy wasn't very sweet. The sweetness was just right, but the fruit flavor was very strong.
Before coming to China, she had heard that there were hidden families in China, but she had never actually seen them.
The Leng family doesn't have many activities in China; most of their activities are overseas.
Their behavior did not violate the law, and although they did not have their own group, the Leng family was not short of money.
As for why the entire family is never short of money...
The girl looked at Leng Ruo's back and finally focused her gaze on the hand holding the pen.
If she wasn't mistaken, Leng Ruo's palms had calluses, not from years of holding a pen, but more like from holding a knife...
This is interesting. I thought going to university was just about passing the time and experiencing life, but I didn't expect to meet such interesting people. It seems that my days ahead won't be too boring.
God knows how difficult it is to find someone from the same world as her in China, a country ruled by law.
On her first day of class, the girl walked for quite a while trying to find her classroom.
Finally, among the many teaching buildings, she found the pharmacy classroom.
As soon as I pushed open the door, the scene inside the classroom came into view. The huge classroom was filled with students scattered around, making the already large classroom seem even more empty.
On the podium, a middle-aged man in a shirt was already preparing his lesson.
"Qi Tongxue?"
Qi Jiu's actions successfully drew the attention of the entire classroom, and when the teacher asked her a question, the girl nodded.
"It's me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the once quiet classroom was now somewhat noisy.
"Alright, alright, let's find a seat."
Looking at the scattered seats, Qi Jiu silently walked to the back of the classroom, to the third row from the bottom.
Only this area is relatively open, and there are hardly any people around.
