Chapter 74
Song Luokui: "...No need, I was just saying it casually. Okay, you're 187 cm, anything else?"
Chi Yu: "187 cm tall, measurements 103, 77, 95, a PhD student at Peking University, serving as the chairman of Shan Yu Group..."
Song Luokui: "...You don't need to mention the measurements, right?"
Chi Yu looked at her, "I thought you'd want to know." He didn't even mention the fourth measurement, afraid that she'd think he was being crass and get angry.
Song Luokui glared at him, but her gaze lacked any intimidating power. Chi Yu's heart skipped a beat as he looked at her.
Chi Yu continued: "Come to think of it, I should be considered your senior."
Song Luokui: "Mmhm, hello Senior Chi."
Chi Yu: "You can call me Brother Chi."
Song Luokui: What if someone mishears it as "Lover Chi"?
Song Luokui didn't say it out loud.
Chi Yu didn't insist either. After they finished eating and drinking, Song Luokui left immediately.
Back in the car, Song Luokui touched her chest. Earlier during the meal, she seemed calm on the surface, but no one knew how flustered she was deep down...
Chi Yu had actually asked her to use her feminine charms!
She almost forgot, he mentioned that her brother Song Luosheng would be going to Country X next week.
Song Luokui immediately called Song Luosheng, "Brother, are you going on a business trip next week?"
Song Luosheng: "Yeah, I'm going to Country X. Let me know if you want any gifts."
Song Luokui: "...Can you not go?"Although at this stage, her brother should be fine, she was still worried.
Song Luosheng: "What's wrong?"
Song Luokui: "I heard that Country X's security isn't very good, there might be terrorists and such."
Song Luosheng: "Don't worry, I'll have bodyguards with me."
Song Luokui hesitated: "...Is it absolutely necessary to go?"
Song Luosheng: "What's going on? Who told you something?"
Song Luokui: "I'm...afraid someone might do something against you."
Song Luosheng: "Luokui, I don't know where you got this information from, but I know all about it. Don't worry, I'll come back safely. Those people in Country X, I don't even take them seriously."
Song Luokui decided to trust her brother: "Then still be careful."
"Mmhm, I'll bring you back a gift."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Song Luokui said: "Uncle An, let's go back to school."
"Alright."
Back in the dorm, the three roommates were there. Wang Sisi was painting her toenails while video calling Lin Cheng.
The other two were studying. Song Luokui looked at this one and that one. Su Ziyuan and Zhang Jingfeng were single, and in their dorm, only Wang Sisi was in a relationship.
After Wang Sisi hung up, she saw Song Luokui staring at her. Wang Sisi: "Luokui...what's...going on?"
Song Luokui: "How did you and Lin Cheng get together initially?"
Wang Sisi didn't know why she was asking this, but she still answered: "We met at a school event back then, and he pursued me."
Song Luokui: "How did he pursue you?"
Wang Sisi: "Just like most others, at first we chatted online, then he asked me out to play, took me out for meals and movies, and gave me gifts...We were in that ambiguous period for a while, then he confessed, and we got together."
As Song Luokui listened, she suddenly felt it sounded very familiar - meals, outings, chatting, gifts...
Isn't that exactly how things were between her and Chi Yu?
Song Luokui bit her lip, lost in thought.
Wang Sisi: "What's wrong? Is someone pursuing you?"As she said this, Su Ziyuan and Zhang Jingfeng immediately perked up their ears and turned around, looking eager to hear the gossip.
Song Luokui: "...Well...kind of." Thinking back to when Chi Yu took her to see the snow and watch fireworks during the New Year...that scene now seemed so ambiguous.
The three girls' eyes immediately lit up. "Who is it? Who is it? Is he handsome? If he's not handsome, then forget it, we can't accept you dating an ugly guy. No matter how rich he is, it won't work."
"Nevermind, we probably don't know him anyway."
"Is he from our school? Or from your circle?"
"Most importantly, he has to be a good match for you."
The three chatted incessantly.
Song Luokui: "...Uh...he's from our school but also from my circle, and he's decent-looking."
Wang Sisi suddenly asked: "Does your brother know about this?"
Song Luokui immediately "shh"-ed her, "No, no one knows. No one else knows."
The three immediately covered their mouths, indicating they would keep it a secret.
"But I'm really troubled." Song Luokui frowned. She thought about if she rejected Chi Yu, and later her brother and Chi Yu had a major conflict, what if her brother couldn't beat Chi Yu, then she couldn't even plead for him.
But if she accepted Chi Yu...it did seem to have many benefits, but she still felt unsettled, and she recalled the issue of being deceived emotionally and physically.
Wang Sisi observed Song Luokui's expression, "What's troubling you? Are you worried your family won't approve, or that you don't like him enough? Or..."
"Wait, like?" Song Luokui shook her head, "I don't like him...well...it's alright I guess." She suddenly thought of Chi Yu's face. Like? They're just friends, right? But it's not like she dislikes him either.
Wang Sisi: "If you don't like him, then just reject him. Or maybe you feel there's a bit of a difference? You're just in an ambiguous period, and the feelings aren't deep enough yet. Maybe you have a bit of a crush, but that little crush isn't quite enough."
Song Luokui nodded, "Something like that."
Wang Sisi spread her hands, "Then just keep it in this ambiguous period. If I were you, I'd string him along. Whether he gets anxious is his problem. If he gives up midway, it's no big deal, you can cut it off in time. Since you don't like him that much anyway, right? If I were you, I could string along several at once."
Su Ziyuan and Zhang Jingfeng both thought there was nothing wrong with that.
"Exactly, if I were you, Luokui, I wouldn't be in a hurry at all."
"Right, and I think you deserve the best."
Song Luokui's expression relaxed, "No wonder you were the first one in our dorm to get into a relationship!" Song Luokui gave Wang Sisi a thumbs up.
Wang Sisi was very proud, "Let me tell you, this is how you should treat men - be hot and cold, don't cling to them all the time as if you can't live without them. You need to tease their nerves, make them feel like they can't live without you."
Su Ziyuan: "No wonder Lin Cheng calls you every day asking what you're up to. He's probably afraid you'll run away."
Wang Sisi: "For now, my man has been doing very well, so Luokui, have you decided what to do?"
"Decided, I'll follow your advice and not respond."
Wang Sisi clapped her hands, "That's right. Being a bit of a jerk can be very enjoyable sometimes."
Song Luokui had solved one problem and finally felt relieved. She picked up her clothes and headed to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower first."
After she went into the bathroom, Zhang Jingfeng said in a low voice: "I really can't figure out who is pursuing Luokui."
"Luokui just said it's someone from her circle who also goes to our school, and there are indeed a lot of rich people at our school, but I've never seen Luokui get close with any male students."
Wang Sisi somehow thought of what her boyfriend had previously mentioned - that on the day they were playing at the Unnamed Mountain Lake Store No. 1, that night it was Senior Chi who took Song Luokui away.
At the time, her boyfriend had told her to keep it a secret and not tell anyone. Could it be...?
Senior Chi Yu is indeed from their school, and he knows Song Luokui...so...could it be?!
Wang Sisi covered her mouth and immediately turned to send a message to her boyfriend.
