A University.
Three figures were walking on campus, and they were very eye-catching because of their extremely good looks.
These three people were Gu Xi, Gu Chenyi, and Sheng Xiuyan.
Gu Xi chose A University because it was also Gu Shao's school. Gu Yanlin and Gu Chenyi chose A University because it was closer to home. Sheng Xiuyan did not go abroad and chose A University instead, which was somewhat surprising.
At this time, Gu Chenyi and Sheng Xiuyan had already shed the childishness they had in middle school. They had lost some of the youthfulness of a big boy and had become more mature and steady. The two handsome teenagers were quite eye-catching as they walked on campus.
In Gu Xi's words, the two at home and the one next door had all grown up. Their facial features had developed, and not only had they not become ugly, but they had also become more handsome.
Gu Xi walked between the two of them. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and the ends of her hair were slightly curled. She was wearing a casual dress and also attracted a lot of attention.
— —
At this time, a boy ran over and caught up with the three of them.
"Um, hello, classmate. May I know how to get to the fourth teaching building?" The boy walked over and pretended to be confused as he asked. Although he said "hello," he was only looking at Gu Xi.
Sheng Xiuyan frowned slightly.
Gu Chenyi's eyes flashed with a hint of mischief, and he smiled carelessly.
"The fourth teaching building. There, just walk straight in that direction." Gu Chenyi pointed in a certain direction and said to the boy.
Hearing this, the boy was stunned and subconsciously said, "Isn't that the cafeteria?"
"Looks like you know. Then why are you still asking us?" Gu Chenyi raised his eyebrows and asked in return.
A hint of awkwardness flashed across the boy's face, and he awkwardly found an excuse to explain, "I'm not very familiar with it, so I wanted to confirm it with you."
"If you're not familiar with it, why should we be familiar with it?" Gu Chenyi smiled mischievously and said, "Also, classmate, you look quite old. You're probably not a new student."
— — Too derogatory.
Looking at Gu Chenyi, Gu Xi silently wiped away her tears in her heart. Where's my lovely and adorable 'milk bun'? How did Gu Chenyi learn to be so two-faced from Gu Yanxiao?
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chenyi said this, the boy, who was originally quite confident, suddenly felt uneasy.
"Come, let's have a chat." Gu Chenyi pulled her to the side.
"I don't have a good personality. I'm not easy to get along with, right?"
Hearing this, the boy was stunned for a moment before he stuttered, "Okay."
"You don't have to give me face. I just have a bad temper. It's hereditary. There's nothing I can do about it. My whole family, my grandfather, my eldest uncle, my second uncle, my eldest brother … they're all like that."
After a pause, Gu Chenyi continued, "So, if you want to hit on my sister, you'd better train more."
"Train what?"
"Of course it's to train your ability to walk on one leg," Gu Chenyi said. Seeing the other party's surprise, he explained, "Because if you come to our house, there's a high chance that your leg will be broken."
…
Gu Xi didn't know what Gu Chenyi and that classmate were muttering to each other. All she saw was that after Gu Chenyi said a few words, the other party ran away with a strange expression on his face, as if he was running away.
"Classmate, remember to buy insurance!" Gu Chenyi shouted behind the other party.
That person ran even faster.
— —
Gu Chenyi turned around.
"What did you say to that person just now?" Gu Xi asked suspiciously.
"Nothing much. I just wanted him to understand the importance of limbs to humans," Gu Chenyi said calmly with a smug expression on his face.
"…" What the hell?
Gu Xi looked at Gu Chenyi faintly, her heart full of complaints.
"If you do this, you won't have any friends in the future, really," Gu Xi looked at Gu Chenyi and said with certainty. At the same time, she glanced at Sheng Xiuyan beside her. This was because it wasn't just Gu Chenyi who was like this. Gu Yanxiao and Sheng Xiuyan were also like this.
Hearing this, Gu Chenyi looked at Gu Xi pitifully and complained, "Are you doing this for me?"
After saying this, Gu Chenyi muttered softly, "Aren't we doing this to protect you?"
Why couldn't Xixi understand their good intentions?
— Before entering A University, Gu Xi, Sheng Xiuyan, and the others had participated in many competitions and won many awards. Thus, they had attracted a lot of attention. In addition, they scored very well in the college entrance examination. Therefore, before they even reported to school, they were already on the hot list of A University's campus forum.
On the first day of school, Gu Xi went on stage as the representative of this year's freshmen to give a speech.
Everyone in the Gu family was very proud of their Xixi's outstanding performance in school. However, there was also a lot of 'trouble' that followed. It had only been a few days, but there were already many people who came up to Gu Xi to strike up a conversation, make their presence known, and fawn on her.
Gu Chenyi and the others' attitude towards these people was very clear. They would deal with every single one of them who came, and they were determined to nip in the bud.
Hearing Gu Chenyi's words, Gu Xi naturally understood what he meant.
After all, this wasn't the first time.
— The last person who came to discuss electronic technology with Gu Xi was so baffled by Sheng Xiuyan's questions that he started to doubt his life. After that, Gu Xi never saw that student appear anywhere where Sheng Xiuyan was.
The last person who threw a basketball in front of Gu Xi and showed off his skills was tortured by Gu Yanxiao, Gu Chenyi, and Sheng Xiuyan on the court. Later, she heard that he went to play football.
…
Such things happened everywhere, too many to mention.
Meeting Gu Xi's gaze, Gu Chenyi pretended to be sincere and said, "It's wrong to fall in love at such a young age."
As if he was afraid of being beaten by Gu Xi, Gu Chenyi hurriedly added, "My second uncle, your father said so."
Gu Xi: "…"
"Young man, we became adults last month," Gu Xi said to Gu Chenyi with a fake smile.
— Really.
Gu Chenyi was speechless for a moment.
"Haha, I'm used to hearing this at home." Gu Chenyi laughed dryly and said reluctantly, "Okay then …"
The next second, Gu Chenyi changed the topic and said, "However, even if you're in a relationship, your partner can't be too ugly, right?"
In any case, all the boys who came up to her these days were very unpleasant to the eye!
"At the very least, his looks and IQ should be at the same level as mine, Gu Yanxiao's, and Big Brother's."
Gu Xi looked at Gu Chenyi deeply and complained in her heart, "Even if I don't have any thoughts or plans of falling in love now, aren't these people setting the bar too high?"
"If I want someone with your looks and IQ …" Gu Xi pretended to sigh and said half-jokingly, "Then it can only be Sheng Xiuyan."
At least, this was the case among the people Gu Xi came into contact with.
—
The speaker didn't mean it.
Gu Xi was just casually complaining, so she didn't notice that Sheng Xiuyan's expression suddenly froze after she said this.
When Gu Chenyi heard Gu Xi's words, he laughed. "Haha, that's right!" This was the effect he wanted.
"With the addition of Sheng Xiuyan, the person you find in the future can't be worse than us."
— As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
When the Gu family was in trouble and went through a lot of changes, Old Master Gu was very touched by the Sheng family's help and loyalty. He directly put Old Master Shen at the top of his friends list.
Over the years, the Gu and Sheng families had been getting closer and closer. The two retired old men liked to play chess and fish together when they had nothing to do. After a while, Sheng Xiuyan and the Gu family became more and more familiar with each other.
Gu Chenyi and the others almost regarded Sheng Xiuyan as a member of the Gu family.
"Are you sure this isn't the standard for me to be alone in the future?" Gu Xi raised her eyebrows.
"Of course not!"
"I think this standard is good." Sheng Xiuyan also chimed in.
After saying that, Sheng Xiuyan calmly turned his head to the side.
The main reason was that if he didn't turn his head, he couldn't help but smile.
—
Just as he was about to say something, a notification popped up on Sheng Xiuyan's phone. "Add a friend request."
Sheng Xiuyan clicked on the notification. It was an unfamiliar avatar and name, and there was a note next to it: [I'm Liu Manxing. We participated in the freshmen's networking event together.]
— — I don't know her.
Usually, Sheng Xiuyan would ignore such requests.
Not long after, the other party sent another friend request.
This time, Sheng Xiuyan directly clicked "Reject."
Sheng Xiuyan casually put away his phone, but at this moment, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
The phone was connected, and a girl's voice came from the phone. "Is this Sheng Xiuyan? I'm Liu Manxing from Class 4 of Economics Management. I'm the one who added you on WeChat just now. My avatar is me. We met at the event before. Please accept my request. "
Sheng Xiuyan frowned and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"That, it's like this. I heard that Changming Garden here is very fun. I plan to go and play. You should be familiar with this area. Can we go together?"
Sheng Xiuyan's frown deepened, and he coldly threw out a sentence. "I'm not free."
"Okay then, next time." Apparently, she didn't expect to be rejected so bluntly. The girl's voice was a little stiff as she responded.
Just as Sheng Xiuyan was about to hang up the phone, the girl named Liu Manxing eagerly said, "I have a question!"
"Sheng Xiuyan, do you have a girlfriend?"
Sheng Xiuyan seemed to be stunned for a second, and then calmly said, "Yes."
"You have a girlfriend? That's impossible … "Liu Manxing couldn't accept Sheng Xiuyan's answer, or rather, she didn't believe his words.
Before she decided to contact Sheng Xiuyan, she had clearly observed for a long time. Sheng Xiuyan didn't look like he had a girlfriend at all.
"Why is it impossible?" Sheng Xiuyan asked impatiently.
"But …"
"My girlfriend is right next to me. Do you want her to prove it?" After saying that, Sheng Xiuyan looked at Gu Xi, who was beside him, with a pleading look.
Gu Xi understood tacitly and smiled. She made a gesture of "two" to Sheng Xiuyan.
Sheng Xiuyan nodded and silently said, "Deal."
Seeing this, Gu Xi took the phone from Sheng Xiuyan with a smile on her face.
— — When a friend needs help, she should do her best to help.
After all, it was not the first time that she had provided this kind of paid help to Sheng Xiuyan. She had rich experience and was skilled in the business.
"Hello."
Hearing Gu Xi's voice, the girl on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised.
"Who are you?"
"Didn't Sheng Xiuyan just tell you that I'm his girlfriend?"
"You, you're really his girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"That's impossible." The girl was still suspicious and asked again, "You said that you're his girlfriend. Then let me ask you, how did you two meet?"
"We? We're childhood sweethearts, and we were engaged when we were children. We got married directly after we graduated. " At this moment, Gu Xi was possessed by a drama queen. She talked nonsense with the other party seriously and did not notice the smile in Sheng Xiuyan's eyes.
"You …"
"So you don't have to think about him. Think about other people."
The other party seemed to be silent for a long time. In the end, she said aggrievedly, "Sorry to bother you." Then she hung up the phone directly.
"How was it?" Gu Xi raised her eyebrows and returned the phone to Sheng Xiuyan.
Sheng Xiuyan took the phone and sent Gu Xi a red packet without saying anything.
After receiving the red packet, a smile appeared on Gu Xi's face as she said to Sheng Xiuyan, "Thank you, old …"
Gu Xi suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence. She opened the red packet and saw the 20 yuan on it. Her eyes widened.
"Only 20 yuan?" She said 200 yuan!
Sheng Xiuyan met Gu Xi's gaze, which seemed to be asking for a salary. His eyes seemed to be saying, "You've been freeloading at our house for so many years, but you're actually stingy and only gave 20 yuan in a red packet!"
Sheng Xiuyan directly transferred another 500 yuan to Gu Xi without saying anything.
Gu Xi, who received the transfer, was a little surprised. Then she smiled and said to Sheng Xiuyan, "Boss, if you have such a job next time, feel free to call me."
Gu Chenyi, who was standing at the side, also came over to take a look.
"Damn, this job is not bad. 500 yuan for just saying a few words."
"520 yuan," Sheng Xiuyan corrected him.
"Okay, okay, Boss is generous." After saying that, Gu Chenyi deliberately pinched his throat and said, "I can do such a job too. Feel free to call me next time."
After saying that, Gu Chenyi shuddered. He had successfully disgusted himself.
"Ahem, forget it."
"But speaking of which, don't you have a real girlfriend? Why don't you ask her to help you deal with those girls who want to confess to you? "Gu Chenyi asked with a teasing look in his eyes.
Since high school, Sheng Xiuyan had never stopped coming to confess to him, give him gifts, or use all kinds of methods to trick Sheng Xiuyan. And Sheng Xiuyan always rejected those people with the same words: "I have a girlfriend."
Every time he said it, he looked so serious. After a while, even Gu Chenyi almost wondered if Sheng Xiuyan really had a girlfriend.
Unfortunately, no one had seen this "girlfriend" before.
"What about your girlfriend? I'm afraid she's a fake, right? "
Sheng Xiuyan glanced at Gu Chenyi indifferently and said, "She'll have one in the future."
Gu Chenyi snorted and was about to say something when the tutor called.
"What's the matter now …" Gu Chenyi whispered into the phone.
Because the teacher had seen him first on the day of registration, he had inexplicably become the temporary class monitor and liaison officer. He had been forced to become a busy person at the beginning of school.
The three of them stopped joking and Gu Chenyi answered the phone.
After a few words, Gu Chenyi hung up the phone.
"What kind of communication card do you want to distribute? I'll go first." After saying that, Gu Chenyi left Gu Xi and Gu Chenyi behind and ran toward the college.
— —
They were all in the college. Gu Yanxiao was partial to her subjects and got into University A with her grades in the college entrance examination. Therefore, when Gu Yanxiao chose to major in chemistry, Gu Xi could understand.
What she did not expect was that Gu Chenyi actually chose to major in mathematics!
Gu Xi suddenly felt worried about Gu Chenyi's future hairline.
Sheng Xiuyan looked at Gu Xi's worried face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if I should remind Gu Chenyi to solve his personal problem in advance." He heard that there were only three girls in the entire Mathematics Department this year.
As if he had guessed what Gu Xi was thinking, Sheng Xiuyan thought of a certain young man's balding appearance and a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
"We've reached your college." When Gu Xi saw the School of Economics and Management, he said "Bye" to Sheng Xiuyan.
"I'll walk with you for a while." Sheng Xiuyan did not stop and continued to accompany Gu Xi in the direction of the School of Information Technology.
When Gu Xi first filled in the college application form, she chose the same major and direction as Gu Shao without hesitation. However, Sheng Xiuyan's choice surprised Gu Xi. Gu Xi originally thought that Sheng Xiuyan would choose information technology, but unexpectedly, Sheng Xiuyan chose to major in economics and management and only minor in information technology.
"Why did you think of majoring in economics and management?" Gu Xi could not help but ask curiously.
Sheng Xiuyan's eyes moved slightly and he replied, "When I was choosing my major, I suddenly felt that economics and management could make more money."
Upon hearing Sheng Xiuyan's reason, the corners of Gu Xi's mouth twitched. That's it …?
"Are you … short of money?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.
Although the Sheng family did not start a business like the Gu family, they were still a big family with a large business. Why would Sheng Xiuyan be short of money?
However, when she thought of how much money Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Yanlin had invested in the studio, Gu Xi suddenly did not find it strange.
"If you're short of money, I can lend it to you," Gu Xi said angrily.
"I'm not short of money …" He just met a money-grubber, so he could only think of ways to earn more money.
When the two of them passed by the basketball court, Sheng Xiuyan habitually pulled Gu Xi to the other side to block the gazes of the people on the court.
After sending Gu Xi to the entrance of the college, Sheng Xiuyan sent a picture to Gu Xi.
"What did you send?" Gu Xi asked.
"Recently, I came up with a calculation problem. You can try to solve it."
This was a 'game' the two of them had been playing since junior high. They wanted to come up with problems to 'torture' each other.
Gu Xi clicked on the picture. Sure enough, it was a calculation problem in the form of a Sudoku. It looked very complicated.
After a pause, Sheng Xiuyan said to Gu Xi, "Our research team is going to S City for a study tour tomorrow. We'll be back next Wednesday."
Because of their excellent results in the previous competitions, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan had received olive branches from some of the independent research teams in the school as soon as they entered A University.
"You can take your time to solve it in a week." Gu Xi should be able to solve the problem in a week.
Sheng Xiuyan looked at Gu Xi. Although his tone was relaxed, there was a trace of undetectable nervousness in his eyes.
"Let's go." Sheng Xiuyan turned to leave.
However, he was stopped by Gu Xi halfway.
"Sheng Xiuyan."
"Yes?" Sheng Xiuyan stopped and turned to look at Gu Xi. However, he saw that Gu Xi was holding a computer and looking at the calculation problem on the picture. He then looked at Sheng Xiuyan with a strange look in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Xiuyan asked. An inexplicable nervousness filled his heart.
Gu Xi stared at Sheng Xiuyan for two seconds before saying, "You're not going to tell me that you like me, are you?"
