Lu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Just got off the plane and had a whim to visit my alma mater.”
“How coincidental, we ended up at the library.” Gu Ci nudged him with her elbow. “When you were studying at A University, did you know where the library was?”
“I had plenty of training and less class time, but I spent quite a bit of time in the library, cramming for exams and writing papers at the last minute.” He playfully tapped her nose. “Junior, you underestimate me.”
“Alright, senior, you’re impressive.”
Her calling him senior sounded gentle, like a small hook that caught Lu Zhiyuan’s heart.
“Junior, would you like to go on a date with me?” His smile was enchanting.
Gu Ci poured cold water on his enthusiasm. “Senior, 1 have another class.”
“Skip class.”
Gu Ci hesitated.
This person was toxic. He encouraged her to skip class right after returning. Gu Ci shook her head. “I’m a good student, I don’t skip class.”
Lu Zhiyuan sneered, “Who skipped class and got into fights in high school?”
“I’ve changed my ways and become a new person, senior.” Gu Ci took Lu Zhiyuan to buy two cups of milk tea. As they passed by an artificial lake, she paused for a moment and asked Lu Zhiyuan, “Does this place look familiar to you?”
“Not really.” Lu Zhiyuan was most familiar with the library and the track field at A University, as well as the cafeteria. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Ci remembered the last time they were here when he almost drowned her. She smiled and didn’t say anything. The two of them sat on a bench by the artificial lake, basking in the sun while students frequently took secret photos. Gu Ci noticed that Lu Zhiyuan didn’t mind, so she didn’t say much either.
“Did you miss me?” Lu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile, the sunlight shining in his eyes, making his smile even more pronounced.
Gu Ci chuckled. “As a medical student, I have too much homework and no time to miss you.”
Lu Zhiyuan smiled and remained silent, casually flipping through Gu Ci’s psychology textbook. Several female classmates who were taking photos plucked up the courage and approached Lu Zhiyuan, holding hands. Blushing, one of them asked, “Lu Zhiyuan, we are all your fans. Can we take a signed photo with you?”
One of the girls was Zhang Ping from her dormitory. Gu Ci casually flipped through her notes. Lu Zhiyuan was about to refuse when Zhang Ping said, “I’m roommates with Gu Ci.”
Lu Zhiyuan glanced at Gu Ci and said, “Sure.”
Gu Ci looked at Zhang Ping with a smile. Zhang Ping blushed but gathered the courage to hand a pen to Lu Zhiyuan. Lu Zhiyuan was generous and signed for each of them.
“Thank you, you’re so kind.” Zhang Ping’s voice was sweet. “Can we take a photo together? We have been watching your competitions for many years and really like you.”
Lu Zhiyuan didn’t like taking photos with fans. “1 don’t like taking photos, don’t you know that given you’re my fan?”
Zhang Ping blushed even more and became nervous and embarrassed. Gu Ci closed her book, and the disappointed girls left, with Zhang Ping giving Gu Ci a resentful look before leaving with her classmates.
“Gu Ci is so annoying. Even though we’re roommates, she didn’t help us.” Zhang Ping complained angrily. “If she had said a word, Lu Zhiyuan would definitely have taken a photo with us.”
One of the girls who got a signature frowned. “I’m satisfied with getting the signature. He doesn’t like taking photos with fans. Why should Gu Ci help us?”
“I was trying to get some benefits for you. Why are you being so sarcastic?”
“Who’s being sarcastic? Lu Zhiyuan signed for us because of Gu Ci, and we’re very content with that.”
After they left, Lu Zhiyuan asked, “You don’t get along with your roommate?”
“Not very well.” Gu Ci smiled.
“Are you being ostracised again?” Lu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow. “You were ostracised in elementary school, middle school, and high school. Are you being ostracised in university too?”
“No!”
“Your roommate glared at you before leaving.”
“Let her be.” Gu Ci didn’t care about others’ opinions. She glanced at her watch, and Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Why do you keep looking at your watch?”
“I have class, senior.”
Lu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at her teasingly.
The second class in the afternoon at the medical school was systemic anatomy, a lecture-based class rather than a lab. The classroom was filled with students, and many of them turned their heads to look at the back row.
Gu Ci sat in the corner of the last row, and Lu Zhiyuan sat by the window. Outside the classroom was a basketball court where students were playing basketball. There was lively discussion in the classroom. The girls in the front row were doing their makeup using mirrors, occasionally glancing at Lu Zhiyuan’s reflection.
“Do you want to play basketball?” Gu Ci sincerely suggested.
“Third Young Master will accompany you to class, and you still complain?”
Gu Ci laughed, “You’re distracting the girls’ hearts.”
“What’s that got to do with me?” Lu Zhiyuan flipped through her textbook. He had figured it out. Gu Ci didn’t have a good reputation in their class, and not many people greeted her.
Gu Ci wanted to persuade him again, but the bell rang, and the professor entered the classroom.
The professor was an elderly professor who looked surprised when he saw the crowded classroom. “So many people in our lecture? Is it full today?”
The multimedia classroom could accommodate many students, and the systemic anatomy class had just over a hundred students. Today, there were nearly 150 people in the classroom. The professor asked cheerfully, “Are you all here to audit the class? Do you love systemic anatomy that much?”
A male classmate laughed, “Professor, they are here to see the celebrity.”
Laughter filled the classroom, and the humorous professor said, “Where’s the celebrity? Raise your hand.”
The students all turned their heads to look at Lu Zhiyuan, and the professor also looked over. “It’s Lu Zhiyuan.”
“Hello, Professor Li.” Lu Zhiyuan smiled mischievously, pretending to be a well-behaved senior.
“Are you accompanying your girlfriend to class?”
Gu Ci lowered her head, flipped through her book, and remained indifferent to the teasing from her classmates. He Miaomiao and Liu Yu also joined in the gossip. They had originally wanted to sit with Gu Ci but were hesitant when they saw Lu Zhiyuan.
The classmates laughed, “Wow…”
“Professor Li, you are really gossipy.” Lu Zhiyuan rested his chin on his hand. “Just treat me as an auditor.”
Professor Li’s lecture was lively and interesting, but Lu Zhiyuan, an outsider, found it increasingly boring and ended up sleeping openly, leaning against the windowsill. Sunlight fell on his face, perfect and flawless.
Gu Ci, in class, was distracted for the first time and failed to answer when the professor called on her.
Professor Li said, “Beauty is mesmerizing, even a top student can’t escape it. It’s good to have a boyfriend accompany you to class, but don’t bring him next time.”
The classmates burst into laughter, and Gu Ci felt a rare sense of embarrassment. Lu Zhiyuan, who was pretending to sleep, also laughed, clearly aware of her predicament. Gu Ci sat down and kicked him, and Lu Zhiyuan laughed even more, becoming more unrestrained.
“Stop laughing.”
Lu Zhiyuan opened one eye, deliberately teasing her. “Junior, you’re so domineering.”
Gu Ci ignored him and focused on her own thoughts. However, she was secretly happy. Even if she made a fool of herself, it was a kind of compensation for her regrets in the previous life. They were like a couple in love on campus, going to the library together, going to the cafeteria together. He accompanied her to class, even though it wasn’t his major, he listened drowsily and lazily slept.
After class, many classmates gathered around, wanting autographs. Lu Zhiyuan casually signed more than ten of them. “Our Gu Ci is introverted and speaks little. Please take care of her and let her know if there are any activities..”
