Chapter 167 The Bustling Gu Residence
The next day, He Jing's alarm clock didn't ring and he slept until noon.
He Jing was a little confused about what day it was because of his reversed day and night sleep patterns.
I sat there stupidly for a while before I saw the note on the bedside table:
[I've already taken my leave from school. I'll have a good rest these few days and then go directly to the research study session. —Gu Zheng.]
He Jing squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, then decisively started lying down.
During the day, I followed Shen Wanzhou to play with flowers and plants and look at design drawings. At night, I listened to Gu Rong talk about school gossip. In one month, I lived the retirement life I had always dreamed of!
Gu Zheng has been very busy these two days, leaving home early and returning late, and has not been seen since. Until the day of the holiday, the Gu residence welcomed an unprecedented youthful atmosphere!
Chen Shuang, Tan Siming and the others came together. A large group of them sat in the garden happily...playing games.
Chen Shuang and He Jing squeezed side by side on the small swing, each holding a small cake and munching away. "No one in the class knows you were kidnapped. We were all worried about you when we heard you were on sick leave, but the Gu family's status is special after all, so the class teacher sent me alone to represent you!"
He Jing nodded, thinking it was all just a polite remark and not taking it to heart.
Chen Shuang raised her eyebrows. "Really? You don't believe it? My classmates are really worried!"
He Jing hesitated, "That's impossible? I feel like we haven't even spoken to each other? We don't even know each other, right?"
"Silly cat, how could I not recognize you? You're very famous, right? Even though we've never spoken, it doesn't mean I don't care! Why do you think the window seat is always yours? They reserve it for you."
"But your identity and rank are there, so they're too embarrassed to talk to you. Here, look." Chen Shuang said as he took out his intelligent computer. "They're all asking me about your situation. They're almost blowing my intelligent computer away!"
He Jing's slightly curled eyelashes kept trembling. She carefully took the letters one by one and looked down. Many familiar and unfamiliar names flashed across the screen. It turned out that everyone was concerned about her.
"I thought I was invisible..."
Chen Shuang glared at him, "I'm afraid your fever has damaged your brain!"
Then he pointed at a name and said, "This is Qi Chaoli, the head of the Zhiyuan Academy. He's also the man of the hour at this year's UN. Apart from you, a perverted level 3S, his level is the highest, an S-level Dawn Flash Butterfly."
"He said his family was well-off, and he was studying botany out of love. He had two plant planets at home waiting for him to inherit."
Qi Chaoli, He Jing thought about it and seemed to have some impression of him. They had met in the library before and had a brief exchange. During class, this guy seemed to like to sit diagonally behind her?
"I have some impression."
"Only you can say these four words so lightly. The class notes I brought today were the ones he sorted out for me to bring."
He Jing really didn't expect this. "Then please thank him for me... Forget it, just give me his contact information."
"Okay~ What, are you interested?"
He Jing's eyelids jumped, and he glanced at Gu Zheng, who was surrounded by the group of human-shaped "huskies", in panic. "I just want to thank him! He helped me take notes, it would be unreasonable not to thank him!"
"Okay, okay," Chen Shuang said with a cunning smile, "I understand, I understand. We, He Xiaomao, already have someone in our heart. We don't even care about a mere S-rank butterfly..."
"Stop talking!" He Jing covered her mouth and screamed in her ear in a low voice.
Chen Shuang nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would not say anything more. However, He Jing just let go of her hand and then started to talk nonsense again, "So, are you and General Gu together?"
“…No?”
He Jing pursed her lips, she couldn't explain it clearly.
"So what do you think General Gu meant? He said he liked you, but he didn't say we were together. Is he an emotional liar?!"
"How could that be!" He Jing's eyes widened. "Maybe... it's not the right time yet?"
"Oh my, you're even explaining yourself for others~" Chen Shuang smiled and shook her head. She peeled a mangosteen and handed it to her lips, her tone becoming a little serious. "I don't know if there's a timing for love, but you can't be love-brained! Got it?"
“I know, I know…”
"Well, good boy!" Chen Shuang smiled and started feeding the cat.
The man in the crowd seemed to look over, but He Jing didn't dare to look up out of guilt.
The boys who had just entered university were all full of energy, and when they met their idol, General Gu, they all turned into Huskies, chattering non-stop.
"General Gu, is it true that you achieved full marks during your training abroad? How did you do that?"
"Really, just complete the task diligently."
“Ahhhh!”
"Oh my god, this is the only perfect score in the history of foreign training at the major military academies!"
“Ahhhh!”
“Oh my God!”
The howling continued, and the manor, which had been empty and silent all year round, became extremely lively.
This group of energetic men swept through the Gu family's small training ground, simulation room, back mountain... and finally stopped in the garden.
It doesn't seem like he's here to visit a patient, but rather to chase his idol. Yes, to chase Gu Zheng's idol.
He Jing looked over with a smile, feeling like he had accidentally walked into a dog cafe, and it was full of stupid dogs. Even the usually steady Song Feng was a little out of control.
The next second, a silly dog came over, and He Jing handed him a small piece of cake with a smile.
Tan Siming bent over to take it and leaned on the shelf beside him. "Are you feeling better?"
"It's okay~"
"I'm glad you're okay. Have you caught the person who took you away?"
"I guess so."
He Jing smiled and didn't care much. The smile on Tan Siming's face faded. "Is it? Well, it seems that this is a question I can't ask."
"But this time, everyone was really scared, especially Xiao Wu. He rushed out as soon as he heard the news about you. Seeing the huge pools of blood, he was speechless. Unexpectedly, after the test, he found out, hey? None of it is yours!"
He Jing scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry for scaring you guys... I heard from Xiao Wu that he was completely frightened at the time, and it was you who helped to maintain the situation."
"Hey, it's nothing. I just didn't expect that you look so soft and cute and have no lethality at all, but you are so powerful in a fight!"
Tan Siming's eyes were bright, and if you looked closely you could see a hint of admiration in them.
The look was so fiery that it gave He Jing goosebumps!
The autumn sunset comes especially early, bringing with it cold frost and quietly squeezing into the bustling manor.
He Jing stood close to Chen Shuang and straightened his clothes.
"Cold?" Tan Siming noticed her movements keenly and turned to get his coat. "Wait a moment."
The tall boy walked away, He Jing withdrew his gaze, and turned around to meet a pair of gossipy eyes.
Chen Shuang: "Hey~ Tell me, why can't he see how cold I am? This bleak autumn wind makes me feel like... General Gu."
He Jing: "...Don't come here."
"What do you mean, don't come here?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, He Jing's scalp exploded, and a blanket covered his head.
"...Nothing..." He Jing buried his face and pulled the blanket off, his big eyes sparkling. "Why are you here?"
"The temperature has dropped. You're just fine. Be careful."
"oh……"
"How about having dinner in the yard?"
"Okay~" He Jing thought, there would be no room for so many people in the restaurant!
