Shen Xie put down the phone and looked at Shen Qianzi. “Are you heading to Capital University tomorrow?”
Shen Qianzi felt a little uncomfortable because Shen Xie hadn’t answered and changed the topic but she still kept a nice smile on her face. “Yeah, the school has already made the necessary arrangements. I will be staying in Blk 3, room 409.”
Shen Xie tapped the teacup he was holding and his eyes were warm. “Capital University’s medical school is not as good as the medical organization, but their standards should not be underestimated. Specialize in Medical Informatics. With your ability, two years should be enough. There will still be opportunities for you to enter the medical organization in the future.”
“Got it,” Shen Qianzi answered softly.
Shen Qianzi was a man of few words. He rarely ever said more than few words to her.
When the Shen family saw the two talking, they smiled and said, “The siblings seldom see each other and yet they are so close.”
Mr. Shen looked at the siblings in relief. “Shen Xie dotes on his younger sister.”
When Shen Qianzi heard this, the discomfort in her heart gradually disappeared.
She suddenly recalled something and said, “By the way, Brother, did you know that the medical organization accepted a student who is very good this year? She became Professor Kang’s disciple as soon as she entered.”
Shen Xie was not interested in this but he still listened.
“She is also the student that Master Bi wants as an apprentice. I heard that she is also gifted at playing the piano. I have never heard her play, but after Master Bi visits her uncle, he will probably take her back to Jijing Island and plan an apprenticeship banquet.”
…
At the same time.
Gu Mang completed the test for Shadow League. Gu Si encountered a programming problem again and came to ask Gu Mang for help. It was already past 9pm when she completed everything.
Gu Mang pressed on her temples and picked up a cup to get some water at the water dispenser. Just then, her phone rang.
She glanced at it and picked it up. She tilted her head lazily and held her phone on her shoulder.
“What are you doing?” She heard Lu Chengzhou’s voice on the other end.
Gu Mang picked up the honey jar, used a spoon to take out a spoonful, and stirred it in the cup. “Making a cup of honey water,” she said.
She sounded tired.
On Friday, Lu Chengzhou had wanted to come to pick her up but she said that she was busy and so she did not leave school this week.
Lu Chengzhou lowered his voice. “Feeling exhausted?”
“I’m fine.” Gu Mang took a sip and put down the cup. Then, she unwrapped a lollipop on the table and popped it into her mouth.
She turned and leaned back slightly with her legs bent. She leaned lazily against the table.
Lu Chengzhou was accustomed to hearing her say that everything was fine and he felt a little helpless. “If you are not busy, come down.”
Gu Mang was stunned. “Are you at school?”
“Ground floor of the dormitory.”
…
Lu Chengzhou was standing under a tree by the road with one hand in his pocket. In the other hand was a cigarette.
He cast a large shadow, courtesy of the street lamp nearby. He gave off a haunting aura that hinted at strangers to never come near. The moment that Gu Mang left her dormitory, he turned to look at her.
Gu Mang’s black hair was casually tied up in a ponytail. Her neck was pale and slender, as always. She looked exquisite.
“Why are you here?” Gu Mang walked up to him unhurriedly.
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows. “Do I need a reason to see you?”
Gu Mang had been very tired just now, but for some reason she had a lot of energy now.
So, she joked with him and smiled. “I don’t meet loafers.”
Lu Chengzhou sighed, sounding aggrieved. “Sister Mang has a lot of affairs to handle and no time to make me lucky. As a loafer, I have to take more initiative.”
Gu Mang squinted slightly. “Control yourself and stop being such a flirt.”
“Alright,” Lu Chengzhou answered obediently. He grabbed her hand. Their fingers intertwined. “Shall we go and eat?”
Gu Mang nodded and said generously, “My treat.”
“How nice.” Lu Chengzhou held her hand and they walked slowly.
Gu Mang’s smile widened. “I won’t let you pay with either money and your body.”
“You sound a lot like a,” Lu Chengzhou paused before he uttered the word slowly. “f*ckgirl.”
