Liu Yue hugged her phone alone, smiling foolishly.
Although her roommates often teased her, seeing how happy she was made them curious as well.
"Yueyue, still chatting with the class president? What are you talking about that's making you so happy?" Ma Tian asked curiously.
Liu Yue pouted, "Is it any of your business?"
"Whoa, Yueyue, are you mad? I was just joking with you just now." Ma Tian blinked her eyes and then asked strangely, "Yueyue, you're not really thinking about chasing after the class president, are you?"
"Why can't I?" Liu Yue said defensively.
Her straightforward admission indeed surprised both Ma Tian and Li Jing a bit.
Liu Yue felt that Zhou Yuwen was more mature than the other students in the class and always took the lead, which wasn't something anyone could achieve.
It was certain that she should date in college; everyone had the right to pursue love.
Liu Yue's speech couldn't help but impress both Ma Tian and Li Jing.
Gu Yaoyao was busy replying to messages from boys and didn't join in the chat.
With Gu Yaoyao's looks, she was among the top beauties in the academy; although she had only been at the school for one day, she already had upperclassmen asking for her contact information.
And Gu Yaoyao was the type who wouldn't initiate but also wouldn't reject.
Liu Yue kept on talking about Zhou Yuwen's virtues.
Ma Tian and Li Jing actually agreed, at least finding Zhou Yuwen a bit more appealing than the other boys.
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
"Just let me see."
"I'm not showing you!"
Zhou Yuwen dealt with Liu Yue in a purely official manner, so of course, she wouldn't show them.
They were playfully arguing when this happened.
Li Jing even said, perhaps Yueyue you might succeed!
"Exactly, they say 'The way to a man's heart is through initiative,' Yueyue, with your proactiveness, maybe Zhou Yuwen will really be moved by you!"
"By then, Yueyue, you'll be our class president's lady!"
This comment made Liu Yue both amused and annoyed, her face turned red and she tried to keep a straight face, "What class president's lady! We haven't even come close to that yet!"
Just then, Gu Yaoyao received a phone call.
The moment Gu Yaoyao saw the caller ID, she switched on the speaker, "Hello? Class president, what's up?"
"?" The three girls chatting nearby were all stunned.
"Gu Yaoyao, Teacher You just called me and asked us to collect information including the domicile, ID number, and parents' occupations of all the classmates. I'll compile the male students', and you handle the female students'," Zhou Yuwen's deep voice came through the phone.
"Oh, wait, let me note it down," Gu Yaoyao flipped her blanket open, revealing her fair, slender legs as she climbed down from the bed.
She opened her notebook and began creating a spreadsheet.
"Domicile, right?" Gu Yaoyao set the phone aside and started to edit the information step-by-step.
"Right,"
"Did the teacher say when to submit it?"
"He wants it by tomorrow noon,"
"Okay, I'll send it to you by ten tomorrow morning,"
"Alright, thanks for the trouble."
Gu Yaoyao smiled slightly, "So with all this trouble, does the class president have any reward for me?"
"..."
Zhou Yuwen chuckled lightly, "I'll reward you with an extra 20GB of data."
"I'm not short of data, class president,"
"Then what do you want? I don't have anything else."
"Well,"
Gu Yaoyao wore a light smile on her face, finding it amusing to see her roommates craning their necks to listen to her conversation. She suggested, "So, how about renting my time for half a day?"
Zhou Yuwen asked what she meant.
Gu Yaoyao explained that she wasn't very familiar with the area as she had just arrived.
"Then I noticed that the class leader seems quite familiar with this place. How about taking me for a walk around the streets when you have time?"
When Gu Yaoyao finished speaking, a clear change appeared on Liu Yue's face.
She had already openly expressed her liking for Zhou Yuwen in the dormitory. What did Gu Yaoyao mean by this?
Gu Yaoyao, however, didn't care about these things even though it was apparent that Liu Yue had noticed the expression on her face.
Zhou Yuwen said there was no problem with that.
He would still rely on the deputy class leader to cooperate with work in the future.
"When I have time, I'll treat you to a meal."
"That's a deal then, I'm taking it seriously," Gu Yaoyao replied with a sparkling smile.
"Mhm."
The two of them hung up the phone like that.
"Gu Yaoyao, what do you mean!?" As soon as the phone call ended, Liu Yue stood up.
Gu Yaoyao looked puzzled, "Huh? What happened?"
Liu Yue said, "I've already made it clear that I'm pursuing Zhou Yuwen. And you asked him out for a meal right in front of me?"
Gu Yaoyao looked at Liu Yue, who seemed angry, and asked with a beaming smile, "What's the matter? Is Zhou Yuwen your boyfriend?"
"I," Liu Yue was stumped by the question.
Gu Yaoyao continued, "If he's not your boyfriend, why can't I ask him out?"
Liu Yue was left speechless.
Meanwhile, Ma Tian and Li Jing were trying to calm her down, saying not to get angry as they were all roommates.
"Exactly, Yaoyao and the class leader are just collaborating for work. Yaoyao never said anything about chasing the class leader."
"Yeah, Yueyue, you're being too sensitive."
The two girls helped Liu Yue cool down, but she still looked unhappy looking at Gu Yaoyao, perhaps due to a sense of insecurity, as Liu Yue seemed too ordinary compared to Gu Yaoyao.
Take Gu Yaoyao, for instance, her long hair was tied up, wearing a camisole with bare shoulders, surely a dream for countless boys, and her pure cotton shorts revealed a pair of long legs.
The reason Liu Yue was so angry was probably that she knew if Gu Yaoyao competed with her, she had no chance at all.
Gu Yaoyao was over there organizing materials and still occasionally interacted with Zhou Yuwen.
When it came to work matters, Zhou Yuwen was quite diligent.
After all the communication was over, Zhou Yuwen hung up the phone.
No sooner had he hung up than another call came in immediately. Thinking Gu Yaoyao might have something else to say, he didn't check the caller ID and directly answered, "Hello, was there something else?"
Zhou Yuwen, who were you just on the phone with!?"
Just by hearing the voice, Zhou Yuwen knew who it was and cursed inwardly.
Then he pretended to ask, "Hello, may I know who this is?"
The caller hesitated for a moment before remembering, they had been reborn.
Originally, Su Qing had informed herself that Zhou Yuwen didn't know her now, but she had been calling Zhou Yuwen's phone without getting through and couldn't help but become anxious, so when the call connected, she became a bit impatient, and it was not until Zhou Yuwen reminded her that she softly said, "I am Su Qing."
Zhou Yuwen was a bit stunned. Good lord, had he heard wrong?
The voice of his ex-wife sounded a bit urgent?
Hadn't she said she wouldn't be urgent?
"Cough," Zhou Yuwen was a bit uncomfortable and said, "Oh, Su Qing, may I ask what you need?"
"Nothing, just asking how you felt about the first day of school," Su Qing asked.
"It's okay, Su Qing. I have some things to take care of here. If there's nothing else, may I hang up?"
"Wait before you hang up, Zhou Yuwen, could you chat with me for a bit?" Su Qing asked pitifully.
