Names mentioned in this chapter :
-?? (sù ruì) – Su Rui, our female protagonist
-???(sù xi?o ruì)- Su Xiao Rui, which translates to Su little Rui.
-??? (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
-??(gù d?ng)- Chairman Gu
-??(Liú líng)- Liu Ling, Su Rui’s university roommate
-??(táng xiào) – Tang Xiao, Su Rui’s friend and daughter of the chairman of Tang Jing Group
“Your blind date?!” Liu Ling widened her eyes and looked at Su Rui in disbelief.
Even though, theoretically speaking, Su Rui and her have just met, they often chat in WeChat during the vacation. How come she didn’t know that Su Rui was in contact with her blind date?
Moreover, when they were discussing this topic today, she didn’t hear Su Rui mentioning anything else, did she?
Of course, except for discussing Gu Yu Cheng, who was impossible to reach.
“En.” Su Rui nodded in response.
To be exact, he was her blind date who became her potential romantic partner.
At the moment, Su Rui didn’t know Liu Ling’s inner thoughts. Otherwise, she would definitely say: That’s right, it’s Gu Yu Cheng I’m talking about.
Initially when Liu Ling saw that Su Rui nodded her head, she wanted to probe further.
However, Liu Ling noticed that Su Rui was staring at her mobile phone with a frown seemingly as if she was wracking her brain, and she recalled the “blind date embarrassment theory” mentioned by Tang Xiao today, she decided to kindly stop mentioning this topic in front of Su Rui.
Liu Ling couldn’t help but wonder what kind of message did Su Rui’s blind date send to Su Rui cause her to…. Be disgusted?
Currently, Su Rui wasn’t disgusted, she was just terrified.
Did she go to a fake university? A fake finance related major?
Why does she feel that the things Gu Yu Cheng has said were a little difficult?
Su Rui suddenly felt that the crash course of the foundation in economics during the vacation wasn’t enough.
If she can back out now, Su Rui would like to join Tang Xiao’s major.
She found a few sticky notes and took down the important points and numbers mentioned in Gu Yu Cheng’s message and pasted them on each book.
After finishing this series of preliminary work perfectly, Su Rui grabbed the washbasin and prepared to wash up and sleep.
There were no troubles that one can’t avoid once they fall asleep. If one sleep isn’t enough, two nights of sleep would be sufficient.
“Are you going to sleep now?” Liu Ling was a little surprised and subconsciously looked at the time on her mobile phone when she saw Su Rui’s series of actions.
“So early?” It’s only 9 o’clock.
“Sleeping and getting up early is good for one’s health.”
Sleep? It’s impossible to sleep.
Su Rui didn’t want to read the high-end knowledge sent by Gu Yu Cheng, she simply tapped on her mobile phone and scrolled through gossip news.
So and so was exposed cheating on their partner, such and such has an angelic appearance, so and so was pregnant again.
Although she has nothing to do with it, it was a good way to kill time by eating melons[1] occasionally.
The names of these stars were different from those of Su Rui’s last life. However, these were gossips after all, even though she didn’t know who these people were, casually scrolling through the comment section and with the help of the commentator, there would be a sense of involvement, which wouldn’t affect her eating melons at all.
#According to insider information, Sirie may return to China next month to develop!
#Latest news! Sirie has transferred her nationality back to Chinese
#It’s said that Sirie will return home with most of her team. Is it true?
#Sirie is China’s glory!
……
Su Rui couldn’t remember how many pages she had swiped, and the screen was soon flooded by several topics of ‘Sirie’.
Looking at the name, Su Rui froze for a moment. It sounds quite familiar?
Today, Tang Xiao seemed to mention this when she was scrolling through the news.
Anyway, she was bored. Su Rui immediately clicked on the link of the news.
Once she clicked on it, a gorgeous picture appeared.
The woman in the picture should be about twenty-six or twenty seven years old. She looked like ‘the girl next door’ type of girl, giving off a feeling where one would be charmed by her at first sight and easily put their guards down.
“She’s quite pretty.” Su Rui nodded as she commented.
She continued scrolling down. Just like the other articles, it was also a topic which led to a paragraph of ‘some encyclopedia’.
Though she knew that this kind of news was mostly written by different studios following the same template and revolving the same main idea.
But, looking at the introduction, Sirie seems to be quite amazing.
Forget it. Gossips are more for entertainment.
She scrolled through two pages randomly and was bored. Su Rui began to scroll through other gossips again.
When a new notification appeared, Su Rui was coincidentally scrolling through some old gossip at the end of a certain year.
She received a notification from Gu Yu Cheng when she was engrossed in reading it.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: Any questions relating to the things mentioned above?
Su Rui was a little surprised when she saw Gu Yu Cheng’s message. She looked at the time . Gu Yu Cheng’s message was almost two hours apart from the one he sent previously.
Alright, so Chairman Gu calculated the time before asking her?
“Nope.”
Su Rui was about to send this word[2] to him.
As she thought about it, she deleted it.
The things Gu Yu Cheng had sent, although she took a glimpse of it, she really didn’t understand it at all. The slap in her own face[3] cannot occur too quickly, what if she really needs him to teach her.
[Su Xiao Rui]: I’m sleepy. I don’t want to look at it.
Su Rui didn’t feel anything when she drafted this message.
After she sent the message, she was startled. Why is there an implication of a little coquettishness in this tone?!
It doesn’t seem like a mature and dignified young woman at all.
It wouldn’t matter if she sent it to her boyfriend. The problem was that they were still in the stage of “transitioning and preparatory”. If they don’t work out in the end, this will become her black history[4]?
[Su Xiao Rui recalled a message.]
When she saw the message she quickly deleted, Su Rui was slightly relieved.
As she pondered, she sent a rather modest message to him.
[Su Xiao Rui]: I haven’t finished looking through it. I have classes in the first quarter tomorrow. I will rest now and look through it later.
This time, after confirming that there were no mistakes, she silently recited it in her heart again and then just clicked “send”.
In such a short period of time, her recall was so rapid that the other party didn’t see it.
Su Rui thought silently.
Yet she didn’t know about the other end of the recipient.
At the moment, Gu Yu Cheng was still flipping through some material in his office and holding a mobile phone but his eyes were glued to the position of the recalled message.
“Recalled ?” Gu Yu Cheng knitted his eyebrows, but in his head he was recalling the sentence he just saw.
He thought about that sentence. Gu Yu Cheng’s lips raised into a smile unconsciously.
He deleted the text message that had been typed out in the dialog box just now. He edited the message again and then clicked ‘send’.
[Gu Yu Cheng]: No hurry.
After a few seconds, Gu Yu Cheng sent another message: Good night.
[Su Xiao Rui]: Good night to you as well.
Finally, Su Rui also sent a cute goodnight sticker.
His eyes repeatedly looked at the expression sticker. Gu Yu Cheng withdrew his gaze, put away his mobile phone and looked at Wang Zhou.
[1] ??(ch? gu?)- Eat melon. An internet slang which means the matter isn’t related to the particular reader and the reader doesn’t comment and just read or spectate the situation. They often refer themselves as ????(ch?gu?qúnzhòng)- peanut gallery/onlookers who are interested in the spectacle but don’t comment on them.
[2] In the raws, it has stated two words because of ‘??(méiy?u)’ which means no. However, since it is only one word in English, I have changed the translation to one word so that it made sense in this context.
[3] ??(dá li?n)- to slap one’s own face. To behave in ways that contradict one’s previous statements; to have one claims contradicted by the truth
[4] ???(h?i lìsh?)- Black history. One’s disgraceful past or it can be used to describe one’s embarrassing experiences they had when they were inexperienced.
