Chapter 3

Huo Xiuyuan's thoughts drifted far away, and he sighed heavily, "I wasn't cheated out of money, but I was deceived in my heart"

"Tell me, what has been going on recently?" Gu Qi and Huo Xiu Yuan stood on the balcony, eating roasted sweet potatoes while enjoying the rain. "Ever since you returned from the Maldives, something seems off with you. Did someone scam you out of money during your trip?"

One might mistakenly think that he has opened a nightclub

Hello, speaking of Cao Cao, he has arrived

Her eyes were filled with shock, unease, and confusion

Huo Xiuyuan: "What a pointless question, she directly blocked me afterwards, checked out and left, as if she had vanished from the world."

How can one expect someone like Gu Qi to express any insights on the concept of love at first sight

Lu Panpan felt it was strange, but she did not say much. She efficiently renewed his card, collected the payment, and returned the membership card to him. Meanwhile, she tore a page from her notebook and quickly wrote down her phone number.

Huo Xiuyuan still found it hard to contain his anger: "She lives near our school, just don't let me run into her!"

Gu Qi: "... ..."

Except for the address, almost everything matched with the woman in front of me

Returning to the dormitory, Gu Qi took out a spoon and split the roasted sweet potato.

Gu Qi and Huo Xiu Yuan are both first-year students majoring in finance. This dormitory accommodates only the two of them because their student numbers are at the end of the class list, making it impossible to fit them into any other dormitory, thus they were assigned to this one.

Gu Qi looked up and down at Huo Xiuyuan: "A man who is 1.85 meters tall being cornered by a woman, isn't that embarrassing?"

Huo Xiuyuan's face turned red with anger: "Then why did she run away?!"

Gu Qi glanced back at him

Lu Panpan took the card, sat down, and logged into the member interface on her computer

With ample money and few responsibilities, and the ability to read in the reception room during regular hours, this friend is quite generous

Gu Qi raised his gaze and looked at her

A few seconds later, Gu Qi thought that if anyone had to suffer, it should not be the children, so he divided half of the roasted sweet potato and gave it to his young roommate

"It is done, and since it has come to this, do not think about it anymore," Gu Qi said, "Just consider it as having had a spring dream"

Gu Qi smiled and said, "If you're this angry, fine, if I run into her, I'll help you beat her up"

Huo Xiuyuan continued, "On the day I arrived in the Maldives, I met her at the bar on the top floor of the hotel. She had a bit to drink, her face was flushed, and then she came over to talk to me. She asked me what I was studying, and I said finance. Then she said she was also studying finance, and we talked until the bar closed..."

Gu Qi suddenly froze in place

Gu Qi finally became a bit interested upon hearing this, "So then you achieved the sublimation of the soul?"

Lu Panpan then noticed that his hair was still a little damp, and he emanated the fresh scent of the club's shower gel, suggesting that he had just taken a shower in the shower room

Give it to me, I will return it

Huo Xiuyuan: "... ..."

Gu Qi: "Why does this person's name sound like a security door?"

In recent days, Lu Panpan has also been busy, interviewing with several companies, but the results have been unsatisfactory

After all, this club is quite expensive, and all the equipment and facilities are the most advanced internationally. In places where marble can be used for decoration, there is absolutely no use of plaster moldings; in places where crystal lamps can be installed, there is absolutely no use of incandescent lights. If it weren't for everyone stopping him, Jin Xin would even want to replace the shower gel in the shower room with bath gold.

Lu Panpan

While entering the member information, Lu Panpan noticed that Gu Qi had filled in his identity as a student of the Finance Department at Yunhe University, so she casually remarked: "You are a student of the Finance Department at Yunhe University, what a coincidence, I am just planning to apply for the graduate program in finance at your school"

Huo Xiuyuan: "... ..."

In these two still seconds, Gu Qi's mind raced with the words that Huo Xiuyuan had once said to him

After using the restroom, Huo Xiuyuan lay on the bed, resting his arms behind his head, gazing at the ceiling

Huo Xiuyuan angrily turned around and walked towards the dormitory, "As a result, the next evening I went downstairs and found that she was flirting with other men again"

Gu Qi said with slight impatience: "Get to the point!"

Huo Xiuyuan: "In the following days, we had meals together, visited attractions together, and then..."

Beautiful, with large eyes, jet-black hair, skin as white as snow, and a voice that is soft and delicate

Give me half

Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and remained silent

So? Gu Qi asked, "Have you been thinking about this matter these past few days?"

I only know that her name is Lu Panpan and she lives near our school

Gu Qi lightly responded with an "mm" but still did not look at Lu Panpan

Huo Xiuyuan slowly spoke: "Lu Panpan."

At that moment, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and as Lu Panpan looked up, she saw Brother Sweet Potato walking in

Huo Xiuyuan believed that he was about to recount a past event, and thus looked at him with anticipation

Then one night, she cornered me against the wall and kissed me

Gu Qi nodded and took out his membership card, "I am here to renew my membership"

Gu Qi: "The dew of love, perhaps they just wanted to sleep with you, but the plan failed."

It has been renewed. If you have any questions, feel free to call this number to ask me

Half of the beautiful women are like this, but as Gu Qi listened to Huo Xiuyuan's description, he inexplicably recalled the woman he encountered at the newsstand today

She asked me what I was studying, and I said finance, then she said she was also studying finance

Large eyes, jet-black hair, skin as white as snow, and a voice that is soft and delicate

Lu Panpan had not yet had the chance to think about how he could appear here, and in a moment of impulse, she expressed her true thoughts: "I was just thinking about you."

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Huo Xiuyuan could not change the objective facts and could only grit his teeth and say: "Beautiful, with large eyes, jet-black hair, skin as white as snow, and a soft, delicate voice..."

Huo Xiuyuan: "Gu Qi, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Gu Qi: "I asked you to speak in human language, do you not understand?"

Gu Qi suddenly came to his senses, furrowed his brows, and averted his gaze

Lu Panpan yawned and looked down to see the umbrella she had placed by her feet, only then realizing that she had forgotten to return the umbrella

He slightly tilted his head and saw a nameplate on the table, written in black on white paper, stating: "VIP Reception for Lu Panpan"

She couldn't help but think of Gu Qi, what kind of roasted sweet potato could make him willing to get drenched in the rain just to buy the last one

Gu Qi: "Why are you asking me? Just ask her! It's not like I want to sleep with you!"

Huo Xiuyuan: "... ..."

The difference is that Huo Xiuyuan's ID card has an error, listing his age as two years younger than his actual age, so this year he cannot legitimately enter the internet cafe

Gu Qi: "Is it beautiful?"

It is nothing

After the news of Lu Panpan's resignation spread, many team officials who had interacted with her extended olive branches.

Lu Panpan asked: "Are you a VIP member here?"

Lu Panpan exclaimed in astonishment, "How did you know?"

Lu Panpan: "Hmm?"

Lu Panpan discussed with her parents and resolutely decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, with the goal of Yunque University

Huo Xiuyuan took a deep breath, recalling the past, and gradually a look of anger appeared in his eyes: "This time when I went to the Maldives for a vacation, I encountered a woman."

Lu Panpan realized that her attitude was too familiar and that her words were ambiguous, so she bent down to pick up the umbrella and said with a forced smile, "I was just about to return the umbrella."

Gu Qi looked at the card but did not take it. Instead, he asked, "Do you live near Yunhe University?"

Gu Qi paused for a moment, looking at Lu Panpan with a hint of surprise

Lu Panpan spent the entire afternoon reading in the reception room. As the closing time approached, she had not received a single VIP client, leading her to lament that the business of this club, Jin Xin, was indeed poor. She wondered when it would go bankrupt and be chased down the street by his father.

Gu Qi saw him filled with rage and said, "Did you not ask her to clarify?"

Lu Panpan asked again: "What happened? Is there a problem?"

Gu Qi: "Speak plainly."

The rain has gradually stopped

Huo Xiuyuan: "I am thinking about roasting sweet potatoes"

After the two sat down, Huo Xiuyuan became increasingly angry as he thought more about it

Lu Panpan knew it was a bit shabby, but she had just started her job, and the business cards for VIP reception had not yet been printed, so she could only make do with this for the time being

Gu Qi took a bite of the sweet potato, his eyes narrowing slightly

However, she is unwilling to remain in this industry and has declined all offers

Gu Qi averted his gaze, looked elsewhere, and walked towards Lu Panpan, taking the umbrella and placing it into his own bag

Gu Qi chuckled lightly, "What is her name?"

What are you thinking about

Is this the key point? She kissed me! It is rare for Huo Xiuyuan to be this excited, that day she might have been drunk, after the kiss she leaned on me and said she thought about me every day, then she asked me to take her to her room to rest

Do not even think about it

Huo Xiuyuan got out of bed, adjusted his glasses, and looked at Gu Qi

Jiang Qi: "And then?"

However, she is an adult after all, and during this period of preparation for exams, she does not want to rely entirely on her parents. Fortunately, Jin Xin heard that she wanted to prepare for the exams while working, so he arranged for her to work as a VIP receptionist at his club

Huo Xiuyuan: "No! We were clearly having a good conversation, and then she suddenly said she had something to attend to and asked me to go back."
