Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Chapter 473: Chapter 337: Gu Li’s Childhood Experiences_1

When Gu Li came back with her tray, Shen Yunsi had already left, leaving only Qiao Yin sitting at the table, resting her chin in her hands, lost in thought.

“What’s on your mind?”

Gu Li placed her tray on the table, looking at her indifferently.

Qiao Yin didn’t say a word, her demeanor not as friendly as before.

Gu Li pursed her lips, took a seat opposite Qiao Yin, and asked straightforwardly, “What did Shen Yunsi talk to you about just now? Was it about me?”

Qiao Yin was surprised, “You saw us?”

“Mhm.”

Gu Li nodded, continuing, “I saw you from far away, didn’t want to disturb you two, so I just came over now.”

Qiao Yin retorted coldly, “You’re quite calculating.”

Gu Li didn’t deny it, after all, she’d never claimed to be naive.

Being calculating doesn’t mean one’s bad, being naive doesn’t mean one’s good.

“I guess, she must have told you that I used Mo Shiting’s connections to take the spot for the Super Brain competition, right?”

Gu Li tentatively asked.

Although she hadn’t heard the conversation between Shen Yunsi and Qiao Yin, from her understanding of Shen Yunsi, it was no coincidence her sudden conversation with a roommate she had a small conflict with.

Qiao Yin didn’t expect Gu Li to guess it right, she spoke openly with indignation, “Actions will go unnoticed only if one’s wrongs remain concealed, Gu Li. Since you did these shameful acts, are you afraid of being talked about? Don’t worry, I’m just a regular student without any connections or power. Even if I know the school is unfair, there’s nothing I can do to you.”

“Really?”

Gu Li raised an eyebrow, placing the soda in front of Qiao Yin, and asked, “What kind of reason enables you to accuse me of pulling strings just based on her words?” ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Qiao Yin scoffed, “Isn’t it true?”

“Of course not.”

Having said that, Gu Li directly put the straw into the soda and started drinking.

Her calm and graceful demeanor, without a hint of guilt, made Qiao Yin even more furious. “Gu Li, I can’t believe you’re so shameless! Eat the KFC yourself, I’m leaving.”

With these words, she abruptly stood up, trying to leave, but was stopped by Gu Li, “If you’re jealous of me, just say it, no need to find an excuse.”

“You–”

Qiao Yin, having her thoughts poked at directly, was so angry her face turned red. She glared at Gu Li, “Say that to me one more time.”

In contrast to her rage, Gu Li was surprisingly serene, “Are you sure you want to pick a fight with me in front of everyone?”

Qiao Yin, being an academic scholar of the Chinese department, picking a public fight wasn’t something she’d do due to saving face. Besides, her strong sense of self-respect wouldn’t let her indulge in such behavior.

Gu Li guessed right.

Reminded by Gu Li’s words, Qiao Yin immediately looked around. Seeing the bustling restaurant, she realized it wasn’t a good place for an argument.

“Sit down, let’s talk. Maybe, I have answers you want to know.”

Gu Li spoke calmly.

Qiao Yin hesitated for a moment, but finally sat back down.

“What answer?”

Qiao Yin asked urgently.

Gu Li started eating her fries, dipping them in ketchup while talking, “KFC won’t taste good if it’s left cold, let’s eat first.”

Seeing this, Qiao Yin took a deep breath and started eating KFC with her.

No choice, the smell of fried chicken was too tempting, making her momentarily forget the ongoing strife between her and Gu Li.

Gu Li had ordered a lot, and they both rushed to finish, hardly managing to eat it all.

At the end, they simultaneously held their bloated bellies, calling for help.

“Can you talk now? What do you want to talk to me about?”

Qiao Yin was still persistent.

Gu Li glance at her, then slowly took out her phone and handed over a Bluetooth earpiece, “Listen.”

Qiao Yin was startled, “What is it?”

“You’ll know when you listen.”

Qiao Yin took the earpiece and put it in her ear.

Suddenly, a gentle voice laced with laughter sounded in her ear ——

“Principal Xu, I heard that the school is looking for student representatives to participate in this year’s world university ‘Super Brain’ competition in M country on behalf of our Hua country?”

This voice… Why did it sound like Professor Shen?

Qiao Yin frowned slightly, then another voice came, “Hmm, Professor Shen is well-informed indeed, it’s true. Did you come here today because you have a student to recommend?”

Shen: “Yes. I just found out today that Gu Li from the 3rd-year class 1 of the Architecture Department has a photographic memory. So, I immediately brought Gu Li to report this good news to you.”

Xu: “Gu Li, is it true what Professor Shen said? Do you really have a photographic memory? If so, you’re definitely the one for this time’s competition.”
