Chapter 411: Chapter 316: The Love Rival Has Arrived !
“Ha.”
Gu Li chuckled lightly, “So you guys believe I should be poor.”
“Of course not.”
Chen Xue immediately denied it.
Mi Dong cast a glance toward Gu Li, “We just think you are very approachable and don’t exhibit the arrogant demeanour of wealthy heiresses, that’s very rare. However, your manners and speech clearly reflect you being born in a well-bred family. Who can foster such nobility? Even the daughters of newly rich families can’t match you.”
Although Mi Dong’s family isn’t wealthy, they have a decent amount of fortune. Having grown up with her friends, she knew too well how spoilt and wayward they could be; none of them were as good-natured as Gu Li.
“Anyway, thank you for your compliments.”
Naturally, Gu Li liked being praised, especially, by people like Mi Dong and Chen Xue who meant it sincerely.
Thus, feeling generous, she proposed, “Would you all like to go out for dinner tonight? My treat.”
“Yes!”
Chen Xue was the first to respond.
Mi Dong also smiled, her eyes squinting into crescents, “I want to eat crawfish.”
“Done deal!”
Gu Li readily agreed.
Noticing that Qiao Yin had been silent since she entered, Gu Li couldn’t resist asking her, “Qiao Yin, what about you? Is there anything you’d like to eat tonight?”
Qiao Yin looked up, “You guys go, I won’t be eating.”
“Why?”
Chen Xue adjusted her glasses, looking a bit disappointed, “There are four of us in the dormitory. It’s a rare occasion for all of us to get together for a meal.”
Qiao Yin smiled, “It’s because I already have plans.”
She finished speaking, picked up her bag, waved at them, “Enjoy your dinner, I’m going.”
“Alright, next time then.”
Of everyone in the dormitory, Gu Li was least familiar with Qiao Yin. She politely responded with a fleeting smile.
As soon as Qiao Yin left, Chen Xue immediately said, “Let’s get going then, Gu Li. I’d also like to have some crawfish.”
Gu Li: “No problem. I actually also fancy a bit of that.”
All of them enjoyed crawfish. Sharing this common interest brought them closer than ever during the dinner.
On their way back to the university from the crawfish restaurant, seeing a bubble tea shop on the side, Mi Dong asked, “Do you guys want bubble tea?” Chen Xue answered, “Yes! I’ll have matcha milk tea with large pearls, thank you.”
Gu Li asked confusedly, “Large pearls? What’s that?”
“Pfft!”
Chen Xue burst into laughter, “Missy, large pearls are just bigger tapioca balls, you haven’t heard of them before?”
“Um…”
Gu Li looked embarrassed, “I’ve tried tapioca balls, but big pearls… It’s my first time hearing about it. In fact, I almost misunderstood.” She blushed.
“So, what do you want to drink?”
Mi Dong asked her.
Gu Li pointed at Chen Xue and said, “Same as her.”
“Alright. You two stay here.”
Having said that, Mi Dong quickly walked away.
Gu Li and Chen Xue waited by the roadside.
As neighbouring bunkmates with the reader-author relationship, their bond was quite deep, and they comfortably opened up to each other.
Therefore, taking advantage of the moment, Chen Xue turned to Gu Li and said, “Little Pear, there’s something I found out today that you should know.” “What is it? You make it sound mysterious.”
Gu Li’s curiosity was piqued.
Chen Xue leaned in and whispered, “It’s about Shen Yunsi, your rival. She has accepted the university’s invitation to serve as a guest professor in our Chinese Language Department.”
“Oh.”
Gu Li nodded indifferently, seeming to be unconcerned.
Chen Xue was anxious, “Why are you so calm?”
Gu Li looked at her coolly, “What should I do then? Should I be afraid of her?”
“It’s highly likely that she’s come to target you. You’re a student, and she’s a professor. She could cause you trouble easily.”
Chen Xue analyzed the situation for her.
Gu Li shook her head and laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m in the architecture department, and she’s in the Chinese Language Department. Our schools are independent, and it wouldn’t be easy for her to stir trouble. Besides–”
At this point, she quirked her lips, a playful glint in her eyes, “I doubt anyone capable of causing me trouble has been born yet.”
Chen Xue: “…”
Wow, aren’t you full of yourself, Gu Li. Does Young Master Mo know about this?
“In any case, I will keep an eye on her for you. You should also be careful.”
Chen Xue was obviously still worried about Gu Li.
Gu Li, moved, hugged her, “Thankyou, my dear Snow.”
“If you really wish to thank me, devote yourself entirely to me.”
“Get lost!”
Gu Li didn’t give much thought to Shen Yunsi coming to teach at Imperial City University.
However, during her English class on Friday afternoon, when she saw Shen Yunsi in a lilac-colored professional suit confidently walking into the classroom, introducing herself, she couldn’t help muttering “Damn” in her heart.
