Chapter 10

The two did not waste much breath on such matters. As they exited the teaching building, Huo Xiuyuan was mumbling about the problems of set theory, while Gu Qi looked at the sky and said, "My stomach is an empty set, shall we go for a union?"

Gu Qi remained silent

Oh, not... ...

Praise him a couple of times and he becomes even more smug

[ Gu Qi ]: Focus on your studies, tell me what you want to eat and I will bring it to you

Focusing on the frustration of not being able to control one's own words

Lu Panpan smiled and said: "Great, I really like this kind of boy, who excels in both physical strength and intelligence"

Gu Qi inexplicably recalled the day when Lu Panpan said to her: "Speaking of which, you should call me sister."

Gu Qi: "No."

Gu Qi felt that he was focused

"That works," Lu Panpan said. "Coach Wu mentioned that we will meet at the volleyball gym at 7:00 tomorrow morning. Do you have any questions?"

The dishes prepared by the proprietress are fresh, Gu Qi is rubbing his neck with one hand while using the tongs to select items from the display case with the other hand, and he catches a glimpse of a notice nearby announcing the transfer of the store.

It is clear that I did not think that way. How did my words come out in such a twisted manner

Gu Qi: "An extracurricular class for a physical education coach."

The saying goes, the timid starve while the bold burst.

The girl quickly explained, "I am also majoring in finance, and I am in my fourth year this year. Speaking of which, I am also your direct senior."

Gu Qi glanced at his phone and saw no friend requests.

Huo Xiuyuan naturally did not pay attention to his words, as he was busy studying and reviewing, making every second count

Just as he was thinking, a strong scent of oranges suddenly wafted past his nose. He looked up and saw Lu Panpan standing in front of him, smiling as she said: "What a coincidence, is anyone sitting here?"

He wants to refute that he is not idle, but rather cannot control his own mouth

Gu Qi lowered his gaze and remained silent

Watching Lu Panpan fiddling with her phone, Gu Qi recalled the girl from earlier

My stomach is also empty, where are you gathering? I will come to find you and join together.

Gu Qi looked up at her and said, "Sorry, there is someone here"

Forty-seven

When I arrived at the classroom, Huo Xiuyuan had already taken his seat and was engrossed in reading.

Gu Qi suddenly raised his gaze to look at Lu Panpan, while Lu Panpan had a habit of looking into the eyes of the person she was speaking to. Their gazes unexpectedly collided.

I again today ... ...

Understood, everything is clear.

Gu Qi selected the dishes and said in a neither salty nor bland tone: "Congratulations"

However, Gu Qi on the opposite side remained silent

Gu Qi stopped in his tracks and sincerely asked, "Do I?"

Gu Qi handed the dishes he selected to the proprietress and casually remarked, "Your husband is quite a bit younger than you."

Gu Qi took a shortcut directly to a spicy hot pot shop, and as soon as the owner saw him, she beamed with joy: "Welcome, little brother!"

Gu Qi's gaze lightly swept over Lu Panpan, while his fingers gently tapped on the screen of his mobile phone

Huo Xiuyuan: "Why are you so idle? Aren't you supposed to be attending to customers?"

Then we can still keep each other company said Huo Xiuyuan I will not go home during the summer vacation either and plan to prepare for next year's modeling competition

Are you studying volleyball at school, or elsewhere

The dim light of the old incandescent lamp cast a shadow from above onto Lu Panpan's face, not very clear, yet creating a delicate halo around her.

Gu Qi originally wanted to order an additional serving of beef, but upon hearing the landlady's words, he suddenly found himself unable to speak. He turned around and sat down at the last empty table, retreating into silence.

The other party is a female, and she is a direct senior. Having talked so much with her here, Gu Qi did not want to make her feel too embarrassed, so he gave her his WeChat ID

He automatically ignored the subsequent question, and Lu Panpan did not pursue it further

Gu Qi: "No."

Gu Qi: "Get lost"

I don't remember," Gu Qi said, "It seems like I've been learning since I can remember.

Lu Panpan took a shower, put on a loose long T-shirt, styled her hair into a bun, and left the house with her phone and access card

"No wonder your foundational skills are so solid." Lu Panpan recalled something else and asked, "You are a student in the finance department, what was your score on the college entrance examination?"

Gu Qi's words were interrupted by the ringing of the class bell, and the teacher entered with an air of authority, holding the textbook.

After two classes, Gu Qi and Huo Xiuyuan exited the classroom

What is a little bit?

The sky has just darkened, and there are faint traces of colorful clouds struggling at the horizon

"By the way, when did you start playing volleyball?" Lu Panpan finished sending the message and turned her phone face down on the table. "Did you ever join the school team in middle school?"

"Are you going home for the summer vacation?" Huo Xiuyuan raised his head and asked, "I heard that the men's volleyball team will stay on campus for training during the summer vacation."

A little over six hundred

Suddenly, Gu Qi's phone rang twice; it was a message from Huo Xiuyuan

Lu Panpan: "How?"

The dishes have not been served yet, and a girl, holding her phone, bent over with a smile and asked Gu Qi: "Classmate, may I share a table with you? There are no extra seats available."

"Why are you back so late today?" Huo Xiuyuan asked while reading a book

The girl chuckled awkwardly: "Oh, I’m sorry."

Gu Qi met her gaze for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's nothing."

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, indicating that this name still holds some significance

Huo Xiuyuan chuckled lightly, still not raising his head: "You seem quite free"

Indeed

This boy always comes here alone to eat, and over time, he has attracted quite a few female customers who come here to wait for him. The small shop has only three or four tables, and it is always full during meal times, so how could the owner not like him

While Lu Panpan was speaking, the boss lady brought out all of Gu Qi's dishes and conveniently turned on the small light hanging from the plastic canopy

After speaking, he did not leave but hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and said: "May I add you on WeChat mhetushu.com?"

Gu Qi returned to school after dinner time. As he walked along the road, he felt his clothes were sticky, which reminded him that he had forgotten to take a shower after playing basketball today. Taking advantage of the half hour he had before class, he hurried back to his dormitory to take a shower

Boss, are you going to transfer it?

Many people have the impression that athletes are "physically strong but mentally simple"; however, this is not the case. Excellent athletes are required to have a high level of intelligence, otherwise they would be unable to grasp tactics on the field, observe the intentions of their opponents, and respond flexibly. Even in individual sports, if one does not possess sufficient intelligence, they will struggle to understand the key techniques of many movements and thus cannot become a standout performer.

At this moment, Lu Panpan felt that his eyes were truly beautiful, and she couldn't help but glance at them a few more times, only to read from his gaze the sentiment of "only lamenting that human hearts are not as they once were, and that the morals of society are declining"

Gu Qi instinctively shook his head, and Lu Panpan naturally took a seat.

Just as Lu Panpan was feeling puzzled, Gu Qi turned his face away and looked towards the roadside, murmuring softly: "I had a fever and tinnitus during the college entrance examination; otherwise, I could have performed better."

Ordinary people will leave once they access WeChat, and thereafter, Gu Qi will not send any requests, thus avoiding putting others in an awkward position and reducing his own troubles

"I was delayed on the way." Gu Qi twirled the ballpoint pen in his fingers and flipped the textbook to the section we were going to study today. "By the way, I want to join the school's men's volleyball team."

Ah, I started working when I was sixteen, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. I have saved some money to build a new house and have a chubby baby. When one is in good spirits, they are lively; as soon as the boss's wife opens her mouth, she cannot stop. Next year, when my husband reaches the legal age, we will get our marriage certificate, and I will stay at home as a housewife, no longer engaging in business.

At 8:30, this is the busiest time at the snack street

Xu Manyan informed her that the snack street outside the Yunhe Gate is quite famous, and even the inconspicuous small shops can offer delicious food. Just as Lu Panpan had not had dinner, she went out to search for something to eat, and unexpectedly ran into Gu Qi as soon as she arrived

The girl happily scanned the QR code, but the moment she saw the name, the smile on her lips froze.

Nowadays, older sisters all like their younger brothers

At this point, the two parted ways; one returned to the dormitory to study, while the other headed to the snack street at the school gate to satisfy his hunger

The proprietress has a particular fondness for Gu Qi

Gu Qi: "Let it be training, after all, I will be alone when I go home."

"Of course not, I will only be twenty-two at the end of the year." The proprietress picked and chose Gu Qi's dishes, tossing them into the pot, "Nowadays, women just love young hunks. I saw online that the older gentleman style is already out of fashion."

"What happened in class today?" Huo Xiuyuan asked, "Why have you been so distracted?"

Lu Panpan lowered her head and smiled

The girl added me on WeChat, said nothing, and turned to leave

Indeed. The boss's wife skillfully handled the ingredients in the pot and said with great vigor, "I am going back to my hometown to get married!"

Lu Panpan fiddled with her phone and casually asked, "Do you have class tomorrow morning?"
