[No Cilantro Please (Postgraduate Exam Version): No, Qingya, you don’t have to worry…]
[Actually, actually I don’t even know why, but today we saw Su Li come to class.]
[Then a really strange, big “flying pillar” showed up in the classroom. I was just talking with Xixi and the others about Su Li, and that big flying pillar suddenly slapped me.]
Caixiangxiang pressed her burning cheek, still feeling the heat even now.
Anger filled her heart, making her wish she could go back to that class and tear that “flying pillar” apart with her own hands.
If it weren’t for wanting to lose weight and keep her figure, maybe that flying pillar wouldn’t even be a match for her.
[Yasuyugongshang: Su Li?]
When Chi Qingya saw Caixiangxiang’s message, her whole body felt hot, her head dizzy.
Su Li’s image floated into her mind, and her heart started pounding violently.
She wanted…
She wanted to know more about Su Li.
Ever since Su Li moved out, Chi Qingya knew all too well there was another Sponsor involved.
Su Li didn’t have much money. If she wanted a place to live, there definitely had to be a Sponsor.
She initially suspected Su Li’s Sponsor was the Landlord, Bai Huizi.
But even though Bai Huizi was quite voluptuous, she didn’t match the “big flying pillar” look that Caixiangxiang had described.
Could it be…
Su Li actually had another Sponsor behind her?
Chi Qingya suddenly became flustered.
Sweat slowly beaded across her forehead, panic rising within.
If Su Li really had another Sponsor, wouldn’t that mean her chances of coming back were even slimmer!
No!
She couldn’t let this happen!
Even with her head spinning, Chi Qingya immediately made a decision.
[Yasuyugongshang: What kind of person is Su Li, Caicai, don’t you know by now? It’s perfectly normal for people like that to be drawn to her.]
[Let me apologize to you on behalf of Su Li.]
[Transfer: 100 yuan]
Chi Qingya sent Caixiangxiang a 100-yuan Hongbao, as if to apologize for Su Li’s actions.
Caixiangxiang accepted the Hongbao from Chi Qingya without hesitation.
[No Cilantro Please (Postgraduate Exam Version): Qingya, you should really keep Su Li in line. Don’t let her get involved with those weird people. As students, we should focus on our studies. Otherwise, when we graduate and go out into the real world, she’ll get taken advantage of sooner or later!]
[Good thing I know you, otherwise, if someone held a grudge, what would happen if they went to cause trouble for Su Li?]
[Su Li’s just a young girl—she doesn’t even know how to protect herself!]
Seeing Caixiangxiang’s message, Chi Qingya gripped her phone tightly.
After all, it was she who brought Su Li home.
Failing to teach Su Li well was her own fault.
She really ought to apologize to Caixiangxiang.
Su Li…
Sigh.
Chi Qingya let out a deep breath.
That’s just how Su Li is, always getting into trouble everywhere she goes.
Thankfully, this time she was around to help her out.
Even her own little sister, Yao Yao, was more sensible than Su Li.
At least when Yao Yao caused trouble, she could clean up her own mess.
[Yasuyugongshang: I’m sorry, Caicai, it’s all my fault. I’ll be sure to remind and teach Su Li a lesson. Sorry—please rest well.]
After sending her message, she glanced at her pending friend request to Su Li.
Even after all this time, Su Li still hadn’t accepted it.
Even if she was angry, shouldn’t there be a time limit?
Remembering everything that had happened between them, Chi Qingya felt a headache coming on.
It took several cups of warm water before her emotions calmed a little.
So sooner or later, Su Li would pay a heavy price for her personality!
By then, even if she wanted to regret it, it’d be too late!
But…
If, at that time, she could appear in front of Su Li like a savior…
Su Li would surely be grateful to her, wouldn’t she?
As this thought occurred to her, Chi Qingya’s lips curled in a smile, already picturing Su Li apologizing to her and the two of them reconciling.
At the thought, Chi Qingya couldn’t help but hum softly.
—
Because she’d already arranged to meet with MOKA, Su Li prepared in advance and set out for the café.
She bought a few buns at the campus supermarket, planning to eat as she walked to fill her stomach a bit.
But as she walked, Su Li’s steps gradually slowed.
For some reason, she kept feeling as if someone was following her.
There were plenty of people on the street whose eyes landed on her, but Su Li could tell that this gaze was different.
Ever since she left the classroom, this gaze had been fixed on her.
She stood still for a moment, and soon felt the footsteps behind her pause as well.
Then, deciding not to mind it further, Su Li continued on toward the café.
It was ironic—MOKA was the internet celebrity, worried about being exposed and stalked.
Yet nobody was following MOKA. Instead, she, a nobody, had attracted a stalker.
Su Li found it rather strange.
Arriving at the usual café, she didn’t see Miss Cat working today.
Su Li figured Miss Cat didn’t work here regularly.
She probably did all sorts of day jobs, or else Su Li would have run into her here more often.
Glancing at the time, there was still a while before MOKA’s assistant would arrive, so Su Li ordered a coffee and quietly waited.
Again, she sensed that watchful gaze upon her.
……
Xiao Yuyu sat at a table in the café, pretending to look down at her phone.
But from the corner of her eye, she kept sneaking glances at Su Li, swallowing nervously.
Every so often, a “click” sounded from her phone as she secretly snapped photos of Su Li when she wasn’t paying attention.
Xiao Yuyu was puzzled by Su Li’s sudden decision to skip class and come to the café.
She’d thought Su Li left the classroom for a part-time job, and had even been about to send her a Hongbao to get Su Li to play games with her.
But Su Li came straight to the café instead.
She wasn’t here to work.
Even so, seeing Su Li quietly sipping coffee in the café, Xiao Yuyu’s heart still pounded wildly.
Sunlight slanted through the window, casting a soft, furry halo around Su Li.
She lowered her gaze to the swirling milk foam in her cup, long lashes casting fine shadows on her fair skin, like butterfly wings folding in.
When the cup rim touched her pale-pink lips, she puffed her cheeks and blew gently.
A few snowy strands of hair slid down her swan-like neck, the tips curling in a small whirlpool at her collarbone.
The steam from the coffee warmed her cheeks, her eyes shimmering as if filled with melted caramel.
“Click!”
Xiao Yuyu captured the scene, resolving that as soon as she got home, she’d print out all the photos and plaster her whole room with them!
She thought…
She was really in love with Su Li!
