Sheng Yuxi was very protective of her. “Xue Xue, my sister said that she doesn’t want to go. Why are you forcing her?”
The corners of Xue Xue’s lips curled up in embarrassment. She was being nosy.
However, she could not help but take a second look at Sheng Yuxi. He usually looked friendly and easygoing, but she did not expect him to be so protective of his sister.
It was exactly as she had expected. No wonder this Miss Sheng had developed such a strange personality.
Wen Zhiya didn’t go because she had already gone with her cousin. Moreover, she really wasn’t interested in these medical experimental instruments. When she went in, she saw skeletons and other creepy things. The laboratory was filled with the smell of blood.
Hence, she stood beside Sheng Yang and waited.
Sheng Yang had nothing to do, so she flipped through a book that Yi Juncheng had gotten for her.
Wen Zhiya glanced at her. Ha, putting on airs. What could she read in this short while?
She said casually, “My cousin is the top student at Imperial Capital University.”
Sheng Yang was still flipping through the book, her gaze unfazed.
Wen Zhiya continued, “My cousin gets a scholarship from Imperial Capital University every year.”
Sheng Yang still had no reaction.
Wen Zhiya was a little annoyed. Just as she was about to ask if she heard her, a tall, thin, and very young man suddenly walked over.
“Brother Gu.” Wen Zhiya’s attention was attracted and she hurriedly ran over.
Gu Chao nodded at her. The glasses on his handsome face made him look more scholarly. He looked like those refined men in books.
Wen Zhiya chattered non-stop. Gu Chao didn’t say anything. However, when he passed by Sheng Yang, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze was deep as he stared at her face.
Wen Zhiya was stunned. Then, she glared at Sheng Yang’s face. Her face was indeed unbelievably beautiful.
Forget about her brother, even Brother Gu was no exception! Damn it!
Wen Zhiya clenched her fists.
Sheng Yang looked at him and saw him staring at her…
“You…” Gu Chao finally spoke. His voice was slightly hoarse and slightly dazed.
At this moment, Sheng Yuxi walked out of the laboratory with Xue Xue. When she saw Gu Chao, Xue Xue greeted him warmly.
Xue Xue’s attitude toward boys and girls was always different. It was too obvious.
Gu Chao was interrupted and didn’t say anything, only giving Sheng Yang a meaningful look.
He was very puzzled. How did she get this book?
After a while, he couldn’t help but look over. “I’m sorry, I know it’s very presumptuous of me to say this, but can you sell this book to me?”
This was the first time Xue Xue and Wen Zhiya had heard Gu Chao speak so politely. They couldn’t help but be stunned. Then, they looked at the book in Sheng Yang’s hands. The cover didn’t look different. It was just an ordinary book that talked about the fundamentals of medicine.
Wen Zhiya had a different way of thinking. She wondered if this was a new way of hitting on people.
When she thought of this, she looked at Sheng Yang with jealousy.
“No.” Sheng Yang was straightforward. This wasn’t an ordinary book. It was extremely precious and rare. Yi Juncheng had spent a lot of effort to get it for her.
Wen Zhiya was about to flare up when Xue Xue stopped her. Xue Xue smiled at Sheng Yang. “The Gu family and our family are long-time friends. How about this, Miss Sheng? For my sake, sell this book to me. I’m willing to pay 10,000 yuan.”
