Two best friends, acting as if nothing had happened, saw their friendship flourishing more and more.
In the dormitory, Gu Xiaoer was packing her things, preparing to move the items she temporarily didn't need back home.
Clutching a stack of books, her phone rang inappropriately.
"Gu Xiaoer, just letting you know, there's a club dinner tomorrow night. Remember to bring your boyfriend," Yang Xue commanded without waiting for a response from Gu Xiaoer.
Gu Xiaoer was busy, so Ai Le, who picked up the phone, replied without hiding her annoyance, "A feast is never a good feast, who knows what tricks you're up to this time!"
"Ai Le? Humph, tell Gu Xiaoer this is the club's last dinner before Senior Su goes abroad. If Gu Xiaoer has any conscience left, she should bring her boyfriend. Since she's not agreeing to him, she shouldn't keep him hanging on!"
"What do you mean by that! Xiao Er's boyfriend is so much more outstanding than your Senior Su, she doesn't need to keep anyone hanging. Just you wait, you'll see how it goes tomorrow night!"
"Fine, I'll be waiting. Don't cry out in pain when you slap your own face!"
After hanging up, Ai Le was fuming with anger. Turning around, she found Gu Xiaoer looking at her innocently and stuck out her tongue, "Sorry, babe, I just got carried away... Hurry up and call that man, rent him again! Whether it's once or twice, you need to turn the tables at the dinner tomorrow night! Here, I'll pay the rent for you!"
"Lele..." I really don't want to go!
Speaking of Su Jiaxuan, Yang Xue, and her relation, Gu Xiaoer could only describe it as speechless. The three were members of the Go club, Yang Xue was fond of Su Jiaxuan, who was a senior in the same faculty as Gu Xiaoer, only he was a graduate student and she was an undergraduate.
Su Jiaxuan had not shown any particular interest in Yang Xue, but he was closer to Gu Xiaoer. Not only did he help her during club activities, but he also offered guidance in their major privately.
Over time, rumors started to spread within the club.
However, her heart was set on Lu Tianze, and she thought nothing of it until Yang Xue took it to heart and has consequently been troubling her, along with Lin Kexin.
As for the upcoming dinner, Gu Xiaoer was fully against it. She preferred to spend that time at home, working on more design drafts!
Therefore, a relaxed Gu Xiaoer on her own bed, when she received a call from Su Jiaxuan, also made excuses to decline.
"Senior Su... I have some stuff... I might not be able to make it." Not good at lying, Gu Xiaoer's ears turned red even over the phone screen. Senior Su had always been nice to her, especially with academic guidance. When he asked her to come, she genuinely did not know how to refuse.
"Xiao Er, I'll be going abroad in a few days. My parents have arranged for me to further my studies, and all the paperwork is done... Consider it a farewell, can you make it?"
"This..." Su Jiaxuan had made it difficult to say no. After a moment's thought, it indeed seemed like a good idea to clear things up, as Yang Xue had mentioned.
After hanging up the call, she was startled to find a certain man standing behind her, arms folded, watching her.
"Who?"
"A senior," Gu Xiaoer confessed honestly. "He invited me to tonight's club gathering."
Han Luoli narrowed his eyes, a hint of danger flickering through them. He was close enough to hear the conversation over the phone and as a man, he could certainly understand those underlying intentions. Probably, the only one who didn't know was this silly girl.
His sought-after girl was so popular, was this a good thing or a bad thing?
