What has always confused me is that Chen Li thinks my charm is almost the same as hers, and in many ways, even better. This really frustrates me.
If it were Chen Li who matched Su Xi's family and looked like a school belle, she might still have a chance with him. But if it were me, even spreading rumors with Su Xi would be too extravagant.
But Chen Li didn't give up and told me. "You easily caught Hua Zhe, who is incredibly beautiful and seems out of this world. How can you say you're not attractive? Now you have to include Su Xi."
"I've already said, Su Xi and I are not like that! Why won't you believe me?"
I have explained this to Chen Li many times, but she still doesn't understand. I am so frustrated that I want to argue with her right now.
"You and Su Xi might not be dating yet, but how many girls can be so close to Su Xi for such a long time?" Chen Li keeps arguing. "You two have a unique connection that is rare and special, so what more is there to say?"
After saying that, Chen Li abruptly ended the conversation and went back to her desk.
She probably realized that I was busy all night and needed to make up for it now. It seemed pointless to argue with her for long, so she did this, right? I was really upset, but I was so tired that I had no choice but to give in.
After taking a nap and having no classes in the afternoon, I decided to go to work at Su Xi's company.
Although I don't like Su Xi and he forced me to work, when I thought about the debt problem, I decided to be more honest. Not to mention that this job does have a meager salary, but at least it can solve my urgent needs.
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I walked out of the dormitory building, a luxury business car was parked at the door. The driver didn't have to think twice to know it was Su Xi's. In this university, he's the only one who would drive a car of this level.
But this car doesn't seem to be the same one as yesterday? It's probably his work unit's car, right? It's impossible for a college student to own two business cars, right?
Many People gathered around the limousine, including men and women. Many of them held up their mobile phones to take pictures of the car, but no one dared to get too close.
Su Xi's name in the university is popular and feared. If he didn't get out of the car, no one would dare to approach him. Not many people in the university are really close to Su Xi, judging by the way he avoids strangers.
Seeing this scene, although I knew this car was probably coming to pick me up, I still decided to walk around it. If I openly got into Su Xi's car like this, even though I was just being dragged along by him for a while, and my friend Chen Li misunderstood, I would have to jump into the Yellow River to wash it off.
But just as I turned around, I saw Li Qi approaching from the side. She was chatting and laughing with a few friends, looking relaxed and carefree as always.
Li Qi, a classmate from a different department, always seemed to bother me, even though we rarely saw each other. She was friends with popular students, while I was more casual and came from a simple background. It was confusing why she targeted me.
Li Qi is a beautiful girl who has many active friends at the university and comes from a well-off family background.
On the other hand, I am more of a tomboy and don't consider myself attractive. I don't catch anyone's eye when I walk around, and I have only a few close friends like Chen Li and Hua Zhe from sports activities. My family background is not as privileged as others in the university.
So, whenever I deal with Li Qi's problems, I always end up losing. It seems like there's no point in being her opponent. I think only Li Qi knows why she always embarrasses me.
Even though she is aggressive, I didn't pay attention to Li Qi's motives. When I saw her, I quickly turned around and tried to run away.
Behind me was Li Qi, and next to me was Su Xi's car. The way to escape felt like a one-way street, with only one direction to run. In just two seconds, Li Qi caught up to me. Unexpectedly, she jumped in front of me, grabbed my arm, and pulled me aside.
I was surprised by her boldness and couldn't help but feel angry. But I thought that if I treated Li Qi better, maybe she would stop bothering me. So, I didn't get mad and acted confused, asking. "Oh? Hi, Senior Sister Li Qi! Do you need to talk to me about something?"
Li Qi raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile. "It's t's not a big deal, I just wanted to tell you that today I plan to ask Hua Zhe to go to Carlos Restaurant for dinner. You go and handle this matter for me."
Carlos sounds like the name of a foreign restaurant. Hearing this, I asked in confusion, "Why should I be asked to handle something like this?"
Li Qi was getting annoyed and scolded me. "Do you know how expensive it is to book a table at Carlos restaurant? It's not just about money; you also need status and reputation. It takes over a month to get a reservation. Are you going to waste all my efforts?"
I felt frustrated that this responsibility was put on me, regardless of the cost.
Even though Li Qi was being unreasonable, I didn't let it bother me because all I could think about was that she was speaking loudly, and her voice might be heard inside the soundproofed car.
I wanted to ask Li Qi to speak more quietly, but I decided to go along with her and said, "I'll tell Hua Zhe about your invitation, but I can't promise he'll come."
"It can't be just that, right? Hey, why are you so dumb? Blame your parents for passing down the idiot gene to you. Listen carefully, I'm asking you to invite Hua Zhe, not just pass on a message. Given your background and status, do you think you have a say in front of Hua Zhe? I advise you not to embarrass yourself, it'll only delay Hua Zhe."
Li Qi had just insulted me, I could handle it, but now she was insulting my family, which I couldn't tolerate.
"I don't know if your foul mouth was nurtured by your parents' urine and faucets. I don't care about you. Hua Zhe is like a little brother to me. Whether he responds to your invitation or not is up to him. But from what I see, he probably won't bother. Originally, I wanted to help you pass on the message, but now I think it's a waste of Hua Zhe's time, so I might as well not bother."
After I fought back, I didn't want to talk to Li Qi anymore, so I turned around and walked away.
"Huh? Who are you? What do you want?"
After taking a few steps, Li Qi suddenly shouted behind me.
I thought she might be trying to get my attention on purpose to set a trap, but I couldn't resist looking back.
When I turned around, I saw Li Qi getting ready to hit me with her fists raised, but Su Xi, who had just got out of the car, stopped her.
Oh no... I accidentally caused a problem for myself.
I couldn't help but cover my face, lower my head, and let out a long sigh.
