The next morning.
Gong Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Hangshen, who was hugging her so tightly that she couldn't turn over all night, with deep resentment.
What to do, she really wanted to scratch his face!
He, on the other hand, was sleeping comfortably, while she had not slept a wink all night—well, actually, she just woke up a bit early.
After waiting another half an hour, Gu Hangshen's eyelashes trembled, indicating he was about to wake up.
Gong Xiaoqiao immediately locked onto him with fiery eyes, ready to glare him to death as soon as he opened his eyes.
He moved and even rubbed his head against her chest, again and again.
Then, at last, he awoke.
Ahh! Damn it, this guy looked too irresistible when he just woke up!
"Gu Hangshen, do you know what happened last night?" Gong Xiaoqiao tried to keep a stern face.
Gu Hangshen rubbed his hair, looking refreshed and slept well, and lazily eyed her, "Hmm? What happened?"
"It's outrageous and intolerable!" Gong Xiaoqiao clenched her little fist in indignant despair.
"You took advantage of me while I was drunk? Hmm, that really is deplorable," said Gu Hangshen leisurely.
"You... you're twisting the facts, it was clearly you..."
"I did what?"
"You..." Gong Xiaoqiao wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to say it. The memory of what he did to her last night brought a flush to her cheeks, and before she could combust with embarrassment, she jumped up and dashed outside in a panic.
"I'm going back to school!"
And before leaving she added, "Next time you drink, I'm throwing you out!"
Of course, he knew what happened last night.
He had watched her grow up since she was little, and the girl always treated him like a brother, or perhaps even an uncle. Last night must have scared her!
Watching her grow day by day into someone radiant and emerging from the shadows, with more and more men offering her their attention, he felt an inexplicable irritability growing within him, feeling he must do something to settle his unrest.
...
"Hey, was that Gu Hangshen last night?"
As soon as Gong Xiaoqiao snuck back into the dorm, her bestie Leng Jing immediately approached her with a gossip-hungry look on her face.
"Who else but him! That guy forgot to take his keys and actually called me to open the door for him in the middle of the night."
Leng Jing touched her head, "Poor child, you're really oppressed! By the way, did that dog give you any trouble?"
"No, I've already made friends with it."
That dog hadn't given her any trouble, but Gu Hangshen sure had!
"Hmm, but you didn't come back until this morning; surely something must have happened in between?" asked Leng Jing, her eyes gleaming shrewdly.
"What could have happened? In the dead of night, I was too lazy to run back and forth, so I just slept over there," Gong Xiaoqiao replied, deadpan.
"Xiaoqiao! Enchanting Bar is short-staffed lately, they asked me to go, but I'm really busy these days. Do you want to go?" That's when Ye Mengqin walked over and asked.
Gong Xiaoqiao's class was in the performance department, a six-person dormitory.
Ye Mengqin was the department's beauty, the dream girl of all the male students.
"Ah... Enchanting Bar!" Gong Xiaoqiao was immediately tempted.
Enchanting Bar was a top-notch bar, not only in City A but also nationally. It was high-class; most bars had song and dance performances, but this place regularly put on stage plays, and their quality was quite high.
This was an opportunity for real-world experience and practice.
Gong Xiaoqiao had always had a passion for performance, so she wanted to try any performance that could help with her acting skills.
"Hmm, what about the others? Are you guys going?" Gong Xiaoqiao asked.
No sooner had she finished than the rest of the roommates glared at her, "Do you think everyone is like you, so diligent that they don't need to review for exams?"
Gong Xiaoqiao felt awkward.
It turned out that final exams were coming up, and she hadn't even noticed.
Come to think of it, had she really been that diligent?
She just liked to vent her frustrations by reading books and doing exam papers when she was in a bad mood...
