He saw Gu Ci was silent and said eagerly, “Although I’m an idol, 1 have real skills too. No messy scandals, I work diligently, pay taxes honestly, and have no involvement with fans. Although I’m not perfect, my thoughts and morals are definitely above passing grade… 1 also look decent and have a healthy body. Would you consider dating me?”
He added, “I can pursue you as well.”
The gentle moonlight always softens people’s hearts.
The confession of a young man, reckless yet sincere, moved Gu Ci somewhat. It had nothing to do with love, but she was surprised to discover that there really were boys who genuinely wanted to date her.
“I like Lu Zhiyuan,” Gu Ci’s voice softened, “Although the rumors are fake, my pursuit of him is genuine. I don’t want to deceive you.”
The light in Zhou Li’s eyes dimmed inch by inch, feeling uncomfortable.
“Is this a rejection?” he asked.
Gu Ci pursed her lips, “I’m sorry.”
Zhou Li looked at the starry sky and the gentle moonlight and asked with lingering hope, “Do I still have a chance?”
“No!” Gu Ci’s determination was resolute. “In this lifetime, I’m determined to be with Lu Zhiyuan.”
He heard the sound of his own heart breaking. “But what if he doesn’t like you?”
Gu Ci thought for a moment and stubbornly said, “Then he can forget about liking anyone else!”
“But what if he falls for someone else?” Zhou Li asked with sadness, “Will you give up then?”
Gu Ci closed her eyes. “If he falls for someone else, I’ll kill him and then join him in the grave.”
Zhou Li was speechless.
A gust of wind blew through the mountains, sending a chill down Zhou Li’s spine. “You… you’re joking, right?”
Gu Ci smiled enchantingly, “Of course, I’m just joking.”
Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief, but as he looked at Gu Ci’s slightly stubborn gaze, he couldn’t shake the feeling that she was capable of doing such a thing. Zhou Li quickly shook his head. It was impossible. Gu Ci was beautiful and kind-hearted. How could she do something like that?
Zhou Li gave up completely, feeling a bit sad. He hung his head, dejected like a cat that had lost a fight. “I fell in love for the first time, and it ended like this.”
Gu Ci didn’t know how to console him, so she remained silent. Zhou Li thought to himself that Gu Ci was still young, and when you’re young, you always feel like your love will last forever. But what if… she changes her mind?
He rarely liked someone and didn’t want to give up.
But he also didn’t want to cause trouble for Gu Ci.
“I hope… That you’ll get what you want,” Zhou Li, the gentle little puppy, said. He liked Gu Ci so much that he hoped she could be happy and find love, even if it wasn’t with him!
Gu Ci softened for a rare moment. “Zhou Li, thank you. You’re… the first person to say you like me.”
“It’s my honor,” Zhou Li maintained his composure, even though he felt heartbroken and regretful. He reached out his hand. “Well still be friends, right?”
“Of course!” Gu Ci lightly touched his palm. “We’re friends!”
They smiled at each other, and Zhou Li secretly thought that until he met someone who moved him more, he would continue to like Gu Ci and stay by her side. And if one day she didn’t like Lu Zhiyuan anymore, he would confess again.
In the campus, Gu Ci ran into Gu Chuyun again. The courses in the Medical School and the Music School didn’t overlap, but the two buildings were close together, so Gu Ci had seen her a few times when attending large classes.
Gu Chuyun dressed very simply, wearing a light blue floral dress and white shoes, clean and neat. She tied her hair high in a ponytail, looking like a typical college girl. She had a good reputation and greeted Gu Ci with a smile when she saw her, inviting her to have lunch together, but Gu Ci declined.
“Brother has been discharged from the hospital. Mom and Dad want to have a reunion dinner together. Ci, why don’t you come home too? Let’s have a reunion dinner,” Gu Chuyun asked gently.
Gu Ci replied indifferently, “The four of you should have a reunion.”
“You’re also a member of the Gu family.”
“Save it,” Gu Ci couldn’t be bothered with her and went to have lunch with Gu Ziyu instead. Sometimes, Liu Yu and He Miaomiao joined them too. Everyone doted on Gu Ziyu.
After lunch, Gu Ci went to the library. She was already familiar with the subjects in her first semester, especially the introductory psychology course. In the afternoon sun, she sat there, warm and beautiful, attracting the attention of both male and female students who frequently snapped pictures of her secretly.
Every time she came to the library, someone would ask for her WeChat.
Gu Ci rarely added strangers on WeChat, and she had declined all requests in the past. After being bothered too much, she closed the friend request feature and didn’t allow anyone to add her. The campus belle was known for being unapproachable.
Gu Ci was reading when the library suddenly became noisy. Students crowded near the windows, looking downstairs, and they were extremely excited, many of them taking photos with their phones.
Finding it annoying, Gu Ci put on her headphones and continued reading, unaffected by the excited screams of her classmates.
After a while, the commotion in the library grew even louder, and Gu Ci sensed someone staring at her.
“Gu Ci!” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice echoed in the library.
Gu Ci looked over in surprise.
Between him and her, there were rows of desks and sunlight.
Lu Zhiyuan lazily leaned against the bookshelf, wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, and a wolf pendant hanging at his chest, exuding a carefree and unrestrained aura. He had carefully styled his hair and resembled a senior heartthrob in the university campus.
The students were watching, excited, but no one dared to ask for his autograph.
“Turn a deaf ear to outside matters,” Lu Zhiyuan said playfully, throwing a seductive glance at her, his mischievous and sexy aura apparent in his enchanting peach blossom eyes.
A smile spread across Gu Ci’s face, her heart pounding like a deer. She took off her headphones, heard the gasps and screams of her classmates, and packed up her books to leave. “Why did you come here?”
“Missed me?” Lu Zhiyuan bent down, so close that their faces were just inches apart, his smile reflecting in her captivating peach blossom eyes.
Gu Ci blushed and turned to see her classmates taking pictures. She pulled Lu Zhiyuan away, and he took her books casually, asking, “You’re already studying psychology in your freshman year?”
“Clinical medicine has professional courses starting in the freshman year,” Gu Ci sensitively noticed the attention and gossip of her classmates. She held Lu Zhiyuan’s hand and left the library.
The forums exploded.
Shocking news: Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan are dating!
There were a bunch of secretly taken photos in the library, capturing their good looks from perfect angles. Lu Zhiyuan’s smile was affectionate and indulgent, forming a beautiful picture with Gu Ci’s icy demeanor.
“I bet my money on it. They’re definitely dating.”
“Lu Zhiyuan looks so handsome. After he graduated, he never came back to A University. I’m jealous of the students in the library.”
“I’m squealing like a groundhog. My idol!”
“The campus belle is just as aloof in front of the male god. I’m satisfied.”
“Medical School Bulletin: Gu Ci still has a class in the afternoon. They definitely didn’t leave campus. The students who witnessed it took photos.”
“The campus belle has a boyfriend now. My heart is broken. Classmates, do I still have a chance?”
“Upstairs, look at yourself in the mirror, then find a picture of Lu Zhiyuan and a pile of championship titles. Ask yourself, do 1 still have a chance?”
Gu Ci still had a class in the afternoon, but she walked around campus with Lu Zhiyuan, attracting ioo% attention from onlookers. Lu Zhiyuan held her books, walking casually, completely unconcerned about the people around them.
“Why did you come to the school?”
