"Boom!... Crackle!" Gu Tingting felt as if a thunderbolt had struck right above her head, and her mouth twitched uncontrollably. What did she just hear? Since when had Third Brother become so kind-hearted? Not only was he offering to take her to school, but he was also volunteering to help her move her belongings. Could she tell Third Brother that she actually didn't have much to bring with her? Would that get her strangled? Alright... She knew that Third Brother's intention was not really on the wine, and she was just a minor assistant.
Gu Yelin didn't pay any attention to Gu Tingting's thunderstruck expression. He thought for a moment, then continued, "Leave your phone behind and just tell her it fell into the toilet and is being repaired. From now on, when I need to contact you, I'll call her directly. You figure out the best way to handle this. Once it's done, I'll give you that custom Lamborghini sports car you've always wanted."
To actually have to surrender her phone?! Gu Tingting was about to object when Gu Yelin tempted her with such a huge lure. What should she do? She was not the kind of person to betray a friendship for material gain, okay?!
...
She would definitely show off around Xuandu City in that sports car once she got her hands on it!
Just like that, An Yiqing was sold out by the wavering revolutionary, Gu Tingting, all for the sake of a sports car...
In truth, Gu Tingting was not an unreasonable person; she genuinely thought that An Yiqing and her Third Brother were a great match. Third Brother was not someone without a sense of responsibility, and she wouldn't push Qingqing to be with Third Brother, but she would help create some opportunities for them.
Gu Tingting acted with great vigor, stuffing all kinds of useful and useless things into a large suitcase, fully demonstrating the burst of strength humans can show when faced with temptation. She tried to lift the hefty pink suitcase—alright, this weight would probably pose a challenge to an average guy. However, Gu Yelin casually tossed the suitcase into the car with one hand, leaving Gu Tingting's jaw almost hitting the floor... Third Brother's physical capabilities were not something mere mortals like them could compare with.
On the way, Gu Tingting specifically called An Yiqing to make sure she was back in her dorm room, then instructed her not to go out, claiming that she had forgotten her dorm key... Well, admittedly, Tingting was a rather "honest" kid.
Because he had luggage, Gu Yelin swapped out for a plush yet understated Mercedes-Benz van. An hour later, Gu Yelin's flashy license plate number began attracting plenty of attention on the Xuan University campus. Damn, with such a domineering license plate number, how could the rest of us even scrape by? Isn't it infuriating how some people can make you feel inferior?
Gu Yelin parked the car just downstairs of the dormitory, causing quite a commotion. With his height at 1.86 meters, broad shoulders and narrow waist, the handmade black suit perfectly showcased his potent and alluring physique. Coupled with his stunningly handsome appearance and a regal, majestic demeanor, the girls gathered under the dorm were left with their hearts racing uncontrollably—so handsome! So perfect! As for Gu Tingting beside him, she was automatically ignored by the crowd...
Gu Yelin, carrying the luggage as if no one else was present, walked ahead, while Gu Tingting followed behind, sobbing and sprinting to keep up. After today, she was sure to become the public enemy of all the girls on campus! She didn't want to die yet!
It has to be said, being good-looking did have its advantages. Even the menopausal dorm supervisor let Gu Yelin in with ease, her eyes filled with stars as she watched his retreating figure. If only she were twenty or thirty years younger, she would definitely chase after him—he was so handsome!
"Which floor?" Gu Yelin didn't stop his steps, asking as he walked.
"Third... third floor..." Gu Tingting, trailing behind, was nearly exhausted from running. Third Brother, are you always this inconsiderate with your wife?! She wanted to protest!
At the doorstep of dormitory 338, cough cough, yes, An Yiqing and her roommates lived in dorm 338, solidifying their title as three silly girls. When An Yiqing first saw this number, she was both amused and exasperated, and subsequently, they joked about it for quite a long while.
Gu Yelin naturally wouldn't associate it with all those messy thoughts; he stood at the door, knocking in what seemed like a casual manner, yet a trace of nervousness was hidden in his dark eyes.
The door was quickly opened from the inside, and a wave of enchanting fragrance mixed with a hint of mild medicinal scent hit him. When An Yiqing appeared in front of him, Gu Yelin felt even his breathing became difficult. Her casually draped black hair, her delicate bare-faced visage, and a white cotton camisole nightdress revealed her round, fair shoulders, her skin so delicate it seemed it might break upon a touch.
An Yiqing was visibly startled to see the man before her—of course she wouldn't forget him. Although they had met only once, he was the most intimidating and impressive man she had ever met. An Yiqing paused, then quickly came to her senses and "bang," swiftly shut the door. Um, she was still in her nightgown; she needed to change.
Gu Yelin had imagined countless scenarios for their second meeting, but he never thought it would be so... spicy, cough, and also so awkward. He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry now. Gu Tingting was also frozen in place, smacking her forehead in frustration. Shoot, she had been careless; she really messed up! Hurriedly, Gu Tingting carefully pushed the door open a crack and squeezed in.
"Qingqing, I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you that my Third Brother brought me here. With so much stuff, I asked him to help carry it up, I'm sorry, I didn't notify you," Gu Tingting said pitifully with her hands clasped together.
An Yiqing naturally wouldn't get mad over such a small matter. Her sleep dress was not revealing; she could even wear it for a stroll downstairs without issue. She just felt it was inappropriate to wear this in front of a guest. However, An Yiqing didn't realize that with ordinary guests, she would politely excuse herself to change clothes. But facing Gu Yelin, she impulsively closed the door like a willful child.
After consoling Gu Tingting with a few words and seeing that she truly wasn't upset, Gu Tingting relaxed. When she opened the door and saw the ridiculously large suitcase in Gu Yelin's hand, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, she asked, "Tingting, are you planning to move your entire house here?"
Gu Tingting's face was streaked with black lines, and she chuckled awkwardly: "Hehe, my grandfather saw my pile of junk and wanted to throw them out for taking up space. I had no choice but to bring them to the dorm." Well, it seemed the Gu Family Mansion didn't have room for such trivialities...
An Yiqing didn't know the situation of the Gu Family Mansion; she really thought Old Master Gu wanted to throw away Gu Tingting's things. After thinking it over, she said, "There's some space under my table; it should fit."
"Ah! That's great! Then, uh, I'll head to the restroom, okay? You guys chat first! Third Brother, take a seat and rest, Qingqing, please entertain my Third Brother for me! I'm off to the bathroom!" In order to give Gu Yelin a chance to be alone, Gu Tingting hastily ran off to the bathroom under the guise of needing to use it. She locked the door from the inside and carefully crouched by it, eavesdropping around the corner.
