6. Gu Zhao's breakfast
"Isn't that easy to understand?"
Chen Youting said, "That vain, pretentious, and arrogant guy, Fang Zeqing, is clearly after your reputation as the school beauty."
"Think about it, you're beautiful and outstanding. Even if you don't like someone, it's still a source of pride to have you by your side, isn't it?"
"Back then, he barely won against Lu Jiacheng, who came in second place, to become the school's most handsome guy. It was already quite controversial, but he directly won over you, who was recognized as the school's most beautiful girl. Doesn't that indirectly prove that he is extremely charming?"
"But back then, that scumbag was incredibly cunning. He completely fooled you, and Sheng Sheng and I were also deceived by him."
Looking back now, his little schemes were so easy to guess.
Yu Sheng chimed in, "Yeah, now it seems this scumbag was just using you as a tool to show off. It's disgusting!"
"Is that so?"
Ke Qi lowered her eyes, her raven-feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly.
Upon seeing this, Yu Sheng and Chen Youting exchanged glances and quickly began to comfort her.
"Don't overthink it, Qiqi. Breaking up with this scumbag is a good thing. He doesn't deserve you."
Chen Youting chimed in, "Exactly!"
“Honey, don’t doubt yourself. You deserve better. Gu Zhao is great right now.”
"Look at this, although they are both school heartthrobs, Gu Zhao is far superior to Fang Zeqing in terms of character, appearance, and family background. What does that prove?"
Yu Sheng chimed in from the side: "That means you're free from that rotten cucumber Fang Zeqing, and you're blessed with good fortune!"
Upon hearing this, Ke Qi couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Actually, she was only slightly annoyed, not really sad, since Fang Zeqing wasn't worth wasting her emotions on right now.
But it must be said that Chen Youting and the other woman are really good at coaxing people; Ke Qi was so coaxed that even her last bit of depression disappeared.
She smiled at the two of them and said, "Thank you, Youting and Shengsheng."
"Hey, let's talk about this."
Seeing that she smiled, Chen Youting was no longer worried and hooked her arm around her neck again.
"Isn't the quarterfinals of the National College Basketball League starting tomorrow?"
She smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, Fang Zeqing is also on the list for this competition. After all, he never misses an opportunity to represent the whole school and compete for fame and fortune."
"I heard from Lao Pei that Fang Zeqing has been holding a grudge against Gu Zhao ever since he single-handedly crushed the entire A University team."
"So, listen to me, my darling, dress up nicely tomorrow and go cheer for Gu Zhao. When Fang Zeqing finds out you dumped him, he'll start talking to Gu Zhao..."
She didn't say anything more, her smile carrying a deeper meaning.
Keqi understood what she meant.
Unfortunately, she had no interest in doing so.
Because if she could, she absolutely did not want to see Fang Zeqing.
Not to mention deliberately using Gu Zhao to provoke him, that's an insult to Gu Zhao, Fang Zeqing doesn't deserve it!
However, she did not refute Chen Youting on the surface, and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
The night was deep, and the night passed quickly.
The next morning, before Keqi's alarm clock went off, she was woken up by hunger.
She touched her flat stomach, then decided to get up early to wash up and finally slowly put on some light makeup.
After doing all that, it was already eight o'clock.
At this moment, Chen Youting and Yu Sheng had already rushed to reserve seats in order to secure the best front-row viewing spots.
Ke Qi picked up her phone and sent Gu Zhao a message: [Gu Zhao, have you arrived at our school yet?]
She's so hungry right now, she wants to eat him.
She received a reply just seconds after sending the message.
Gu Zhao: [Yes, we're currently passing by your school's No. 3 cafeteria.]
On the way to the A University Gymnasium, you will pass by Canteen No. 3, and about 150 meters further on, you will pass by Girls' Dormitory Building No. 10 in the North Campus.
Ke Qi happens to live in Beiyuan 10.
This is too much of a coincidence.
She immediately grabbed her bag and rushed downstairs.
So when Gu Zhao passed by the North Campus 10 Girls' Dormitory, he saw a familiar petite figure standing by the roadside waving at him.
His eyes flickered slightly.
His girlfriend wore an adorable bun hairstyle today, along with an apricot-colored knitted cardigan and a beige daisy-print sundress. Her skin was fair and radiant, and she looked so beautiful she seemed to be glowing.
When she saw him, her eyes sparkled, and she looked like she wanted to come up to him but was a little shy.
Several unsuspecting players and accompanying spectators became agitated upon seeing this.
"Isn't that the campus belle of University A? I'm not seeing things, am I? Is she greeting us?"
"Wow, she looks so much better in person than in the photos!"
"Damn, she looked at me just now, didn't she?"
...
Amidst the noisy chatter, only a few people who had attended Pei Che's birthday party the night before exchanged smiles and then tacitly mentioned Gu Zhao.
"Go quickly, Brother Gu, your wife is looking for you."
"Yes, don't keep your sister-in-law waiting."
Upon hearing this, the gossiping group suddenly fell silent, then exclaimed incredulously, "What? Sister-in-law?"
They glanced at Ke Qi standing by the roadside, then looked at Gu Zhao: "Holy crap, Gu-ge, you're in a relationship?"
Gu Zhao didn't say anything, but walked to the front of the group, greeted the team leader, and then opened his big hand to Ke Qi by the roadside, his clear and gentle voice.
"Come."
Ke Qi's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she ran over and took his hand.
"Gu Zhao!"
The soft touch on her palm made her call his name in a soft voice, her joy evident in her voice.
"Um."
Gu Zhao responded, then gently pulled back, encircling her small hand in his palm, and looked intently into her clear eyes, asking, "Have you had breakfast?"
Ke Qi subconsciously shook her head, but suddenly stopped halfway through the movement.
Feeling the fullness in his hand, she gently tickled his palm and said with a smile, "No, but I'm not hungry when I see you!"
"Because I can eat you," she thought silently.
These were her words, but Gu Zhao was stunned for a moment after hearing them, and then a faint blush appeared on his fair and handsome face.
The others in the group started to jeer:
"Wow, this is so cruel!"
"This awful stench of love!"
"Look how embarrassed our Brother Gu is!"
"Speaking of which, how did your sister-in-law manage to tame our ruthless Brother Gu? Wow, even the beauties at A-body couldn't do that! @#&..."
Ke Qi was actually a bit socially awkward. Seeing everyone teasing her, she didn't dare to speak. She just silently gripped Gu Zhao's hand and whispered to him.
"Gu Zhao, good luck in the competition! I'll be supporting you from the sidelines!"
Gu Zhao looked down at her, about to answer, when suddenly a conversation came from the fork in the road to the left, which led to the boys' dormitory.
"Isn't that Ke Qi?"
"Yeah, why did she join Team A?"
"Damn, he's even holding hands with that Gu Zhao! Brother Fang, isn't she cheating on you?"
The boys were talking quite loudly. Ke Qi heard a familiar keyword and looked up.
Then, in the next second, he was caught off guard and met Fang Zeqing's bloodshot eyes.
Ke Qi was taken aback.
