Three minutes later, Qiao Qingshu came over.
As she approached the two of them, a hint of confusion still lingered in Qiao Qingshu’s eyes.
It was so strange, if not for Lu Xingzhe telling her to come this way where there weren’t many people, she intuitively felt she wouldn’t have come.
There were clearly few people around here, and she hadn’t noticed it just a moment ago, nor had she seen anyone here.
"You’ve come at just the right time, you take care of her, don’t let her run around, and don’t let her drink." Seeing Qiao Qingshu arrive, Lu Xingzhe immediately stood up and gave her these instructions.
Upon seeing this, a flicker of suspicion crossed Qiao Qingshu’s eyes, "Where are you going?"
It was very unusual for him to be willing to leave.
Lu Xingzhe: "Tsk, mind your own business about men’s matters."
After saying that, Lu Xingzhe put his hands in his pockets, leaving Qiao Qingshu and Gu Zhiqi with his departing back, and walked away.
Qiao Qingshu didn’t take Lu Xingzhe’s departure too much to heart, she took a seat next to Gu Zhiqi, and then, started reading the book she had tucked under her arm.
Tang Yichen glanced back and saw that Lu Xingzhe had already left, and that an unfamiliar girl was now sitting beside Gu Zhiqi. He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked Gu Zhiqi, "Gu Xiaoxi, your friend?"
Gu Zhiqi scooped the last spoonful of cake into her mouth and hummed vaguely in response to Tang Yichen.
Tang Yichen suddenly spoke up, and Qiao Qingshu, who was reading her book attentively, suddenly looked up at Tang Yichen, and upon seeing his fashionable attire, she unconsciously furrowed her brows.
"Introduce us," Tang Yichen suggested, raising his eyebrows slightly, looking to Gu Zhiqi.
"Qiao Qingshu, my deskmate," Gu Zhiqi pointed to Qiao Qingshu and said, then pointed to Tang Yichen and told Qiao Qingshu, "Tang Yichen."
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s introduction, Qiao Qingshu was slightly taken aback.
Was it that Tang Yichen?
Looking up at Tang Yichen, she sized him up and down; it didn’t seem like him.
Photos of Tang Yichen were all over the internet.
Although Qiao Qingshu had never met him in person, she had seen the photos, and this clearly wasn’t the same person.
Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s introduction, Tang Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Ah, deskmate, hi, I’m Tang Yichen."
Qiao Qingshu acknowledged Tang Yichen with a cold nod, then turned her head back to continue reading her book.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen let out a soft click of his tongue.
Just like a friend of Gu Xiaoxi’s, not fond of mingling with others.
But... how did those two get to hang out together?
Looking at them both, one buried in a book, reading intently, and the other holding a phone, typing away non-stop.
The scene was very harmonious, but it seemed like they hadn’t even exchanged a word since meeting... Could it be their relationship wasn’t actually that close?
Qiao Qingshu read her book for a while, and then suddenly remembered she hadn’t added Gu Zhiqi’s new WeChat. So she took out her phone and handed it to Gu Zhiqi, "Add me on WeChat."
Gu Zhiqi, seeing this, didn’t hesitate and immediately opened WeChat to scan Qiao Qingshu.
Tang Yichen’s eyes widened in shock upon seeing this.
They didn’t even have each other’s contact info?
Are they really friends?
After adding each other, Qiao Qingshu put away her phone and continued reading her book quietly, while Gu Zhiqi switched to a document editing page and continued to work on Fu Xiyan’s "mental method."
Tang Yichen watched the scene and marveled in amazement.
"Ah Chen." A crisp, cold voice suddenly rang out in the earpiece.
Tang Yichen heard it and immediately straightened up, promptly responding, "Second Brother."
