"You are being overly concerned! No, you’re worried about nothing! You said your brother is almost thirty years old, yet he can’t take care of himself, how is he going to take care of you in the future?" Tan Heqian rolled his eyes and then asked, "What’s going on between you and Gu En? How come Gu En has been with you these few days?"
"Yeah, yeah! Since that night on the weekend, Gu En’s suddenly become incredibly close with He Zhilan! They stick together every day, and in the dormitory, she only talks with Zhilan, and even brings her food. After class, she goes to find Zhilan, and they also eat together. However, the one good thing is, it seems that after Gu En and Zhilan started hanging out, Gu En doesn’t lose her temper as often. The atmosphere in our dormitory is so much more comfortable these past few days. Huang Cai and Wang Bingbing are finally able to catch a break under Gu En’s pressure."
After finishing her sentence, the three of them looked at He Zhilan at the same time, "Zhilan, how do you feel about being with Gu En?"
He Zhilan laughed, these three really imagined her time with Gu En to be a living hell.
But upon reflection, He Zhilan felt that Gu En, if she wasn’t throwing tantrums, her princessy personality was something one could accept. These past few days with Gu En had indeed been pretty relaxed.
"He Zhilan." Tan Heqian, sitting opposite He Zhilan, suddenly kicked He Zhilan under the table, then asked in a low voice, "Do you know that man sitting across from us? He’s been staring at you for a long time!"
He Zhilan hummed in affirmation, puzzled, she turned back to look, unexpectedly, as she turned her head, Liu Jiang, who had been giving her a long stare, stood up with his tray and walked towards her.
"Miss He, what a coincidence. I’m just here at Capital University to handle some matters, and didn’t expect to run into you in the cafeteria. Hey, isn’t Miss Gu with you? I heard that you two are good friends, is that true?" Without asking, Liu Jiang directly sat down next to Tan Heqian, diagonally across from He Zhilan. All in all, from walking to sitting down to chatting with He Zhilan, he ignored the other three people at the table all along, as if they were invisible.
"What is it to you whether or not He Zhilan and Gu En are close?" Chen Xiting frowned at Liu Jiang, "Why are you prying into other’s affairs? It’s none of your business."
"Ah, misunderstanding! I didn’t pry into anything!" Afraid that He Zhilan might misunderstand, Liu Jiang promptly changed the subject, then explained, "Miss He, don’t get me wrong. I just didn’t know what topic to bring up to chat with you, but I wanted to talk, so I mentioned someone we both know."
From the moment she saw Liu Jiang, the smile on He Zhilan’s face vanished. Listening to Liu Jiang’s words, He Zhilan is not a fool, she could tell whether Liu Jiang was trying to pry into something or not.
After giving Liu Jiang the cold shoulder for a bit, He Zhilan finally spoke, "Mr. Liu, we are not familiar. Don’t you think it’s abrupt to come over and sit down next to us while we’re eating, without asking for our opinions?"
He Zhilan’s words left everyone stunned. None of them, including Jiang Biyun, had ever seen He Zhilan being so harsh and prickly with her words. They had never seen He Zhilan confront someone .
"Done eating? Shall we go back if we’re done?" Not giving Liu Jiang any chance to respond, He Zhilan looked at the three of them, giving them a sign with her eyes. Jiang Biyun and the others understood her hint, nodded their heads and followed her out, completely ignoring Liu Jiang.
