Chapter 152
"I... I..." Liu Yici swallowed hard, immediately thinking of the recent request to seduce Song Classmate from the literature department. He only knew that Song Classmate's family was wealthy, and rumor had it that she was chauffeured to and from school in a luxury car.
Imagining numerous wealthy ladies swooning over his sleek suit, Liu Yici's vanity reached its peak. So when someone offered him money to seduce her, he quickly agreed.
"I didn't do anything to her," Liu Yici said, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, despite the mere few degrees outside. He was perspiring profusely.
Indeed, he hadn't done anything to Song Classmate. He had merely "happened" to appear before her, but she seemed rather indifferent, so he wasn't able to get close to her.
Although he had obtained her friend's messaging ID, that friend hadn't revealed anything useful either.
"Is it that you didn't do anything to her, or didn't get the chance?" Liu Yici's face was slapped by the man. "With that appearance, you dare show your face to the lady? Aren't you afraid of offending her eyes? Who knows if you have any diseases?"
Liu Yici felt deeply insulted but didn't dare say a word.
"Brother, how should we deal with him?" Liu Yici then realized that the person sitting in the chair was the one in charge. The man turned around, his jet-black eyes filled with cold intent. His lips parted, "Follow the rules."
"Yes. We will follow the rules."
Liu Yici suddenly felt the man seemed familiar, but couldn't quite place him. It wasn't until he was dragged out of the building that he realized - it was Senior Chiyu from Peking University, renowned throughout the entire nation.
It was said that Senior Chiyu's family was so powerful that he could make all of Hua Country tremble just by stomping his foot. So, had Liu Yici offended him?
Suddenly remembering something, a flash of fear crossed Liu Yici's eyes...
After the finals, the last campus gossip was about someone from the Art College becoming a gigolo, with photos of him and various wealthy ladies circulating. Not only that, but it was revealed that he had seduced and swindled others in the school out of their family fortunes for lavish spending.
In the end, this person caused such a severe scandal that he was expelled from the university.
After learning who it was, Xu Jiarong immediately blocked and deleted him. "Oh my god, I hope he doesn't have any diseases that could transmit through his messages to me."
Song Luokui just laughed. "How could that be possible? I've encountered him several times too, so wouldn't I be in worse shape?"
Xu Jiarong: "Oh right, we were sitting in front of him back then. Ugh, maybe we should get tested this weekend?"
Song Luokui reassured her, "It's fine. But if you're feeling uneasy, getting tested won't hurt. Let's focus on exams for now, though."
"You're right."
After exams, everyone was relieved and able to return home. Xu Jiarong immediately went for a medical check-up and discovered she had some hair loss...
"The doctor told me to get enough sleep and not stay up late..." Xu Jiarong said.
Song Luokui stroked her own hair, realizing she had also been staying up quite late recently. "I think I need to get enough sleep too. Can't afford to go bald." Her hair was absolutely not allowed to thin.
That night, while Chi Yu was still chatting with Song Luokui, she suddenly glanced at the time. "It's bedtime for me. I should sleep."
Chi Yu looked at the clock, which showed only 10 PM...but Song Luokui had already hung up.
On Saturday, Chi Yu planned to take her to see a movie. Initially, he had arranged to have dinner first, then watch the movie, finishing around 10 PM. However, as soon as Song Luokui heard the timing, she felt it was too late.
"Why don't we watch the movie in the afternoon, then have dinner and go home separately in the evening?" Song Luokui suggested.
Chi Yu studied her for a moment. "Have I done something unsatisfactory recently?"
Song Luokui frowned. "Why would you ask that?"
Chi Yu replied, "I wanted to spend more time with you in the evening."
Song Luokui pondered for a bit before explaining, "I'm just afraid of staying up too late and losing my hair. What would I do if I go bald?" She stroked her hair. "My friend is already experiencing hair loss from staying up late."
Chi Yu: "..." No wonder she had been hanging up their video calls at 10 PM lately - she was genuinely going to sleep. He had worried she might be getting bored of him.
Chi Yu: "Alright, let's skip the movie tomorrow. I'll take you somewhere else instead."
The next day, Chi Yu took her for a scalp and hair health check and treatment session that lasted three to four hours. The doctor told her, "Miss Song, your scalp and hair are very healthy. It's clear you take excellent care of them, but regular maintenance would still be beneficial."
Song Luokui smiled happily. "Thank you, doctor." As long as she didn't go bald, she was content.
Chi Yu: "Are you happy now?"
Song Luokui: "Yes, thank you."
Chi Yu: "Early to bed and early to rise is a good habit. Since we still have time, why don't we catch that movie first? Then we can have dinner, and I'll have you home before 10 PM. How's that?"
"Sounds good!"
Over dinner, Chi Yu suddenly mentioned, "Before the new year, my family may send your family a new year's gift. I'll deliver it in person."
Upon hearing this, Song Luokui responded, "Then my family should reciprocate with a gift for yours."
With that, their relationship was brought into the open.
Song Luokui: "My grandparents and great-grandparents will likely be present."
Chi Yu's grip tightened. "I see. I'll prepare thoroughly."
Song Luokui squeezed his hand, seemingly sensing his nervousness. "Don't worry, they'll be impressed by how accomplished you are."
Chi Yu smiled. "Alright."
Song Luokui: "Let me tell you about my family's interests..."
"Please do."
"My grandfather enjoys playing chess, so you could play a game with him or gift him a chess set. My grandmother loves painting, and you're probably aware of her former position. As for my great-grandfather..." Song Luokui frowned, feeling that her brother would likely find fault with anything Chi Yu gave him.
However, Chi Yu thought it was fine - among all those people, he considered Song Luokui's brother's opinion the least important. The others were the real decision-makers.
"As for my brother... well... um..." Song Luokui knitted her brows, thinking Chi Yu should understand her brother better than she did. The saying goes, 'Your enemy knows you best.'
Chi Yu: "I'll prepare carefully."
After finishing their meal, the two walked hand-in-hand on the street. "I remember the first time you took me out for a meal, I thought we would leave after eating, but I didn't expect you to walk with me and even buy me a sugar figure," Song Luokui said.
Chi Yu also recalled that there were vendors selling sugar figures on the side of the street. "Would you like one now? I can go get one for you," he offered, about to head over.
Song Luokui quickly pulled him back. "No need. We've just had a full meal. Besides, I don't want to carry it around. I just suddenly remembered how, back then, you..."
Chi Yu looked at her. "Back then, I wanted to spend more time with you." In truth, he had been a little nervous at the time, afraid she might reject his kindness. He had already known she was from the Art College, so to avoid any awkwardness, he had to find something to talk about.
