17. I live next door to you
Ke Qi does have a secret stash of money, but at most she is only slightly better off than some of her peers, far from being as wealthy as Qiao Qing described.
But if she were to explain now, Qiao Qing might think she was stingy.
Keqi dislikes trouble. From childhood to adulthood, anything that can be solved with money is the simplest thing for her.
Qiao Qing is her roommate. Who knows when she might come back to stay in the dorm for an extended period? Although their relationship is not close, they will see each other all the time.
If I refuse, it might upset her and cause her more trouble.
Thinking of this, Ke Qi nodded: "Okay!"
It's just a birthday gift, it won't take up too much time, she can figure out how to do it in her spare time.
"Very good!"
Qiao Qing said happily, "Qiqi, you're so kind! It's a deal then. I'll send you the party address the day after tomorrow. You absolutely have to come!"
"Okay."
After ending the conversation, Qiao Qing left.
They said they were coming back to stay for two days, but it seemed they had no intention of staying overnight in the dormitory. It was as if they came here specifically to ask Ke Qi for help.
But since she had already agreed, Ke Qi didn't think too much about it and went to bed after washing up.
When she checked her phone again, she found that Gu Zhao had already replied to her.
But instead of the expected "raise your paw" response, she received several words that surprised her.
—【I live next door to you.】
Ke Qi was stunned.
What do you mean by living next door to her?
Was Gu Zhao so busy with work that he replied to the wrong message?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, a WeChat video call came in.
Ke Qi was startled. She looked down and saw that it was Gu Zhao calling.
She quickly answered the call.
The next second, the young man's handsome face appeared on her screen.
She stared blankly.
He's very different today.
Her hair was carefully styled, combed upwards, revealing her high and prominent brow bones.
In terms of clothing, he also shed his usual casual attire, wearing a white shirt paired with a black tailored suit, which softened his wild and unruly demeanor, making him appear more dignified and ascetic.
"Ke Qi?"
Seeing that she remained silent, the handsome man parted his thin lips and asked, "How did you rent this house?"
Ke Qi snapped back to reality, but instead of answering the question, she exclaimed, "Gu Zhao, you look so handsome today!"
If he is usually a youthful and energetic athletic student, then today he is like a cool and aloof nobleman strategizing in the world of fame and fortune.
How could a person's temperament change so drastically overnight?
But it feels so natural, as if it were another side of him that he was born with.
At that moment, she realized how little she knew about Gu Zhao.
Previously, she only knew that he was the renowned school bully of the A-body, with excellent academic performance, outstanding athletic talent, and rumored to come from a good family. He was an object of admiration and faith for many students of the A-body.
But apart from that, she didn't bother to learn anything more about him.
What does he do for work in private? What is his family background? What are his hobbies?
Yes, she only wanted his body.
What an incompetent girlfriend.
Ke Qi silently reflected on her actions and decided that she must correct her mistakes in the future.
After all, only sincerity can win sincerity.
Ke Qi wasn't a fickle person. Aside from being attracted to Gu Zhao's body, she really wanted to develop a serious relationship with him.
"Thanks."
Hearing the girl's praise, Gu Zhao couldn't hide his pleasure. With a faint smile, he continued to press on the previous topic.
"You haven't said yet, how did you rent the house?"
He remembered making it clear that he didn't want any other residents around his residence who might disturb him.
Are the people working for Shengyao Real Estate now completely ignoring his words?
still……
A guess suddenly arose in my mind.
Before he could think about it, the girl suddenly said, "Ha, speaking of which, let me tell you something interesting!"
Keqi then enthusiastically shared with him her chance encounter with her idol that day and how she ended up renting this room by sheer coincidence.
Finally, she exclaimed, "An Qingyao is so beautiful! She hasn't aged at all over the years. She looks like she's my older sister. It's amazing!"
"Oh, by the way, Gu Zhao, I've noticed that you and Sister An look quite alike!"
She joked, "Do you think you two are long-lost siblings?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhao fell silent.
Several seconds later.
"Ke Qi".
He looked into her eyes, his smile vanished, and his expression became calm yet unfathomable.
She is forty-three years old this year.
Why the sudden emphasis on age?
Ke Qi was confused: "Huh?"
Gu Zhao: "So, it's not your older sister, but your mother's generation."
"Speaking of which..."
He looked at her, a slight smile playing on his thin lips: "You should call her 'Grandma'."
Ke Qi: ? ? ?
