After Xu Wei ate a little, she gave the space to the younger generation.
She found an excuse, saying that she was busy with work and left the room first.
After Xu Wei left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became lively.
After dinner, Shen Mingxiu and the rest went to the side to play cards. Gu Yang and Ye Tian chatted for a while before Shen Mingxiu pulled them over to play cards.
“Senior Zhou is there. Why didn’t you call him?” Gu Yang glanced at Zhou Li, who was sitting on the sofa reading quietly.
Shen Mingxiu frowned. “He’s not on the same side as us. He has to work and study at the same time. If he loses money, do you want him to starve?”
Shen Mingxiu’s voice was not soft and everyone in the room heard it.
An Rui was whispering to Ye Tian. It was Xu Wei’s treat today and she knew that Shen Mingxiu would come, but she still came.
After a period of adjustment, she was no longer as heartbroken as when they broke up.
Although she could not go back to being classmates with Shen Mingxiu, she could face his gaze on her calmly.
Hearing him say those words, it was obvious that he looked down on Zhou Li’s family background. An Rui furrowed her eyebrows and said, “If Mr Zhou loses, it’s on me.”
Shen Mingxiu looked at An Rui, his jaw clenched tightly and he gritted his teeth. “Who are you to him? Is he yours?”
“We’ve been classmates for three years. So what if I give him some money?” An Rui stood up from the sofa and looked back at Shen Mingxiu.
Their eyes met and it seemed like sparks were burning.
They were at loggerheads!
“What’s wrong? Can’t you speak properly?” Gu Yang tugged at Shen Mingxiu’s arm, his handsome face cold. “You’re so unreasonable. Do you still want An Rui to forgive you?”
Zhou Li, who had been implicated, put away his book and stood up from the sofa. He looked at Shen Mingxiu and then at An Rui, saying gently, “Don’t argue because of me. I’m going to Y Country’s medical school as an exchange student and won’t be back for the next few years.”
The moment Zhou Li spoke, the atmosphere in the room fell silent.
A warm smile appeared on Zhou Li’s handsome face. “I’ll only come back after I finish my studies. There will still be a chance to meet in the future.”
Shen Mingxiu’s clenched fists slowly loosened. He walked in front of Zhou Li and held his shoulders. “Why didn’t you say earlier that you’re going to be an exchange student?”
Seeming to have realized that this sentence was a little inappropriate, Shen Mingxiu immediately added, “We didn’t prepare any gifts for you today. Why don’t we go down and sing karaoke later? Do you think it’s good for Senior Zhou?”
Li Lei chimed in, “Sure, I haven’t sung karaoke in a long time!”
Gu Yang had her hands in her pockets, her dark eyes narrowed slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
An Rui slowly regained her senses from the shock of Zhou Li going to be an exchange student. The last time they met, he had not mentioned going abroad. Why was it so sudden?
However, Country Y’s medical school was a top school. If he went over, he would be able to learn many useful things.
He would definitely be an outstanding doctor after graduating.
Zhou Li did not go to sing karaoke and planned to go back to school. Shen Mingxiu pulled him. “You’re leaving soon. I don’t know when we can meet again. There’s no rush to go back tonight. Come, let’s play cards.”
“The money I win is yours. If I lose, it’s mine.”
Zhou Li shook his head. He never played cards and did not know how to play. He smiled slightly. “You can play. I’ll watch from the side.”
“Alright.”
An Rui pulled Ye Tian out of the room.
The two of them went to the mall outside to buy gifts.
Returning to Huangting, Ye Tian and An Rui each gave gifts to Zhou Li.
The two girls forced themselves on him and he had no choice but to accept them.
They knew Zhou Li’s personality and knew that he did not give expensive gifts.
An Rui had given him a fountain pen.
An Rui sat beside Zhou Li and talked to him. Zhou Li wanted to leave several times but was stopped by An Rui.
“I still owe you a big meal. Before you go abroad, you have to let me return that gift.”
Zhou Li said warmly, “You’ve already paid it back. There are still many procedures to settle before going abroad. I’m afraid you won’t have time.”
An Rui felt a little regretful and curled her long hair. “You went abroad too suddenly… But we don’t know the world of you top students. I still have to wish you success in your studies and a bright future!”
“When you return to the country to be a doctor, I’ll look for you when I’m sick.”
Zhou Li smiled and nodded.
After Ye Tian sat on the other side and spoke to Zhou Li, she received a message from the student union president.
The two of them chatted about the student union for a while before the president suddenly changed the topic and said, “If there are seniors pursuing you in the student union, I wonder if you have a chance?”
Ye Tian: No chance.
President: “Another senior is going to be sad.”
Ye Tian replied with a smiling emoji.
After sending it, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She looked up and met Gu Yang’s dark eyes.
Wasn’t he playing cards?
What did he say?
Ye Tian felt a little uncomfortable from his gaze. She put away her phone and walked out of the room.
She went to the washroom and the moment she came out, her slender wrist was grabbed by a strong hand.
Ye Tian was shocked.
By the time she reacted, she was already pulled into the boys’ washroom beside her.
Ye Tian’s thick eyelashes fluttered.
She had never been to the boys’ washroom before.
She struggled instinctively, wanting to leave.
Gu Yang had one hand on her slender wrist and the other on the top of her head, trapping her between his chest and the wall.
“What are you doing?” She put her hands on his thin but firm chest, her face turning red. “If someone comes in and sees us, I’ll be even more shameless!”
Since she was young, she had never done anything out of line. Going into the men’s washroom was something she did not dare to think about.
“Let go of me!”
Not only did Gu Yang not let go of her, her slender hands even wrapped around her slender waist.
There was a trace of danger in Zhang Yang’s eyes. “Does that president like you?”
Ye Tian glared at him with a red face. “What nonsense are you talking about? How can the president like me?” With that said, she seemed to have thought of something and punched his chest a few times. “Who asked you to peek at me chatting?”
Gu Yang raised her eyebrows. “Can’t I see you chatting with other boys behind my back?”
Ye Tian looked at his matter-of-fact expression and was angry and amused. “Gu Yang, we haven’t made up yet. Even if we have, you can’t invade my privacy.”
“I don’t care if you talk to others, but that president is the one you gave water and a towel to during the basketball competition with S University, right?”
Who was Gu Yang? He had seen all kinds of boys.
That president was clearly coveting his little cutie!
Ye Tian stared at Gu Yang for a while and suddenly seemed to understand something. She held back her laughter. “You… are jealous?”
“Why would I be jealous? How can that thin boy be compared to your Brother Yang?”
…
