Just like a little puppy, so easy to coax, it wags its tail as soon as you give it a bone.
"I'll be right back, I'll be right back!" Su Xiyue said hurriedly.
"No need to rush, come back after dinner, there's no food at home," Gu Qing advised.
But Su Xiyue's indifferent voice came from the phone:
"I'll just order takeout when I get home, Gu Qing, you're so kind!"
At this moment, Su Xiyue wished she could kiss Gu Qing a few times.
What was supposed to be a daunting night before returning home turned out to be resolved so easily.
"Gu Qing, my Gu Qing, hehe..."
Looking at the phone that had just been hung up, Su Xiyue let out a silly, dreamy laugh.
167. I might care about you more than you think.
In the afternoon, Gu Qing left home and headed to a restaurant near the school.
Upon arrival, Gu Qing realized that it was less a dinner invitation from Lin Fang's girlfriend, Qian Qian, and more a social event between the two dormitories.
In addition to Gu Qing's roommates, Qian Qian also brought her roommates.
The group of eight filled the private room to capacity.
Fortunately, the private rooms in this restaurant are spacious enough that it doesn't feel crowded.
Gu Qing sat down next to Yu Kai, while on the other side sat a girl he didn't recognize.
Once everyone was present, Lin Fang seemed to adopt the demeanor of the male host, handing the menu directly to Yu Kai.
"Yu Kai, you and Gu Qing see what you'd like to eat, don't be shy!" Lin Fang said.
Then, Lin Fang started talking to Qian Qian's roommate across from him, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
Yu Kai and Gu Qing looked at the menu together.
Qian Qian is quite well-off, so the restaurant she chose was also of a certain class.
Yu Kai hesitated when he saw the prices on the menu, so he had to let Gu Qing make the decision.
Gu Qing didn't say anything. After casually ordering a few ordinary home-style dishes, he handed the menu to the girl next to him.
"Thank you!"
The girl took the menu and stole a few more glances at Gu Qing, who seemed a little nervous.
After looking around the menu, Qian Qian added a few more dishes before introducing them to everyone present.
Gu Qing didn't make a point of remembering these names; he only knew that the somewhat nervous girl next to him was named Yang Rong.
After Qian Qian introduced her roommates, Lin Fang also introduced Gu Qing and others.
When it was Gu Qing's turn, Lin Fang joked, "This great beauty doesn't need an introduction, right..."
"no, I'm fine!"
The girls all shook their heads.
Gu Qing's reputation wasn't particularly high at Jin Da University, and not every girl seemed to need to know how handsome he was.
However, before coming, Qian Qian must have told her roommates that the most beautiful girl from Jin University would be present at today's social event.
Perhaps young people are more clear-headed, or perhaps college students are more foolish.
The group of people quickly started chatting, and a lively atmosphere instantly filled the room.
The conversation naturally revolved around the love story of Lin Fang and Qian Qian.
Even after the dishes were served and they started eating, their talking didn't subside.
Sitting next to Gu Qing, Yang Rong seemed eager to talk to him more, constantly trying to find topics to discuss and exploring areas that interested Gu Qing.
Gu Qing didn't seem aloof at all; she would even chat with Yang Rong for a few minutes.
Yu Kai, however, seemed to have taken an interest.
He quite boldly drank and clinked glasses with a girl across from him.
Gu Qing observed for a while and found that Yu Kai's alcohol tolerance seemed to be quite good.
At least the girl on the other side was starting to struggle.
Besides, Liang Feifei, who is usually very sociable, was unusually silent today for some reason, even though the girl sitting next to him kept talking to him.
About an hour later, Gu Qing looked at the message Su Xiyue had sent on her phone and apologized to Lin Fang and Qian Qian:
"Excuse me, I have to go now. Have fun!"
Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.
Qian Qian's roommates clearly showed their disappointment.
Lin Fang felt slightly annoyed, as if he felt that Gu Qing was not giving him face.
Qian Qian nodded understandingly and said, "Then be careful on the road and remember to let Fangfang know you're safe."
Gu Qing nodded, and as she stood up, she suddenly heard Lin Fang advise her again:
"We're going to sing karaoke later, Gu Qing, why don't you come along? It's not like we all get to have a good time!"
As soon as Lin Fang finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Qing.
"No, I'm actually tone-deaf, so I won't spoil everyone's fun!"
After Gu Qing finished speaking, he got up and left.
Yu Kai then escorted them to the restaurant entrance.
After Gu Qing left, the atmosphere in the room clearly began to decline.
Seeing this, Lin Fang curled his lip at Liang Feifei and said, "Even if some people have a bed in the dormitory, they are not one of us."
Liang Feifei didn't say anything about it, but kept her eyes focused on her phone.
Yu Kai frowned and looked at Lin Fang.
……
As Gu Qing walked home, she saw Su Xiyue at the entrance of her building unit as soon as she entered the residential area.
The girl seemed to have lost some weight since I last saw her a few days ago.
Su Xiyue's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Qing; she had been waiting for some time.
"Have you eaten yet?" Gu Qing asked.
Su Xiyue shook her head.
"Is it okay to go down there?" Gu Qing asked again.
Su Xiyue nodded immediately.
"Then let's go home!"
The two walked towards the elevator naturally.
Only after pushing open the door and changing into slippers did Su Xiyue tentatively ask:
"Gu Qing, how's that thing you mentioned last time going...?"
"what's up?"
Gu Qing, who was walking towards the kitchen, turned around and looked at Su Xiyue with surprise.
"It's just... something to calm down," Su Xiyue said, unsure of how else to describe it.
"This matter..."
Gu Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly stared at Su Xiyue.
Su Xiyue's already tense nerves were stretched to the limit by Gu Qing's constant staring.
Is the verdict about to be announced?
The girl's heart was in her throat.
But after a moment, Gu Qing suddenly revealed a faint smile, her fair and beautiful face resembling a blooming lily.
Actually, he didn't come to any conclusions from calming down; he just sorted out his thoughts.
To outsiders, Gu Qing is beautiful, has a dignified demeanor, outstanding temperament, and excellent academic performance; she seems to be a perfect person.
But only Gu Qing himself knew that he was not perfect.
He was just a second-generation human being, and he had been consciously cultivating good habits since childhood.
Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person.
Precisely because he is an ordinary person, it is impossible for him not to waver when faced with the pursuit of a beautiful and young girl like Su Xiyue.
