Chapter 314: Hello, Su Li

Su Li looked at the girl sitting beside her, not paying much attention.

In the past, there had been people who tried to sit next to her.

They always came with all kinds of motives.

But after a while, realizing they couldn’t achieve their goals through her, they would leave on their own.

Su Li figured this girl wouldn’t last long either.

Still, she couldn’t recall seeing her face before.

Maybe she had, but it didn’t leave an impression.

Su Li’s gaze lingered on Chi Qingyao for a moment, then she looked away.

A girl with looks like this wasn’t easy to come by.

Su Li was sure she hadn’t met anyone like her before.

Yet something about her felt strangely familiar.

“Su Li, hello.”

A sweet smile spread across Chi Qingyao’s face.

Su Li nodded at her but said nothing more.

Her eyes swept over Chi Qingyao, and from the aura around her, she could tell the girl was quite young.

Still a student, in school. Her presence didn’t carry much weight.

A student who didn’t have much money on her.

“Su Li.”

Chi Qingyao was thinking about what to talk about next.

Su Li tapped the textbook in front of her, signaling that she wanted to read.

Chi Qingyao had no choice but to shut her mouth.

If you wanted to make friends, at least you shouldn’t do things that annoyed others.

Chi Qingyao didn’t speak again, simply studying Su Li.

She couldn’t imagine how Su Li had lived with her sister during that time.

And that Su Li had been the one to voluntarily clean the house.

How could someone so aloof do that for her sister?

And how had her sister done things so despicable?

She couldn’t quite understand.

But she also began to see why Su Li was like an electronic succubus.

Just sitting next to Su Li, she could already smell a pleasant fragrance from her.

As Su Li listened to the teacher lecture, she suddenly remembered why Chi Qingyao felt familiar.

Chi Qingya. Back when Chi Qingya had taken her in, she hadn’t seemed any different from Chi Qingyao.

That same clear, pure gaze.

Su Li didn’t dwell on it. After class, she had plans to eat with Cat.

In the evening, she’d have to go see MOKA, find out what MOKA wanted.

She’d bring some food for Cat too.

It wasn’t until the bell rang that Chi Qingyao finally looked at Su Li.

Su Li didn’t want to waste time on this person.

“Su Li, can you show me around the campus?”

Su Li stayed silent.

“I can pay you.”

Su Li stood up and said calmly, “I don’t have anything else to do anyway. Showing you around the campus is fine.”

Chi Qingyao was taken aback. Then she looked at Su Li with some reluctance. “Is one hundred dollars okay?” she said nervously.

After all, others might not know, but Chi Qingyao was well aware that Su Li’s time was quite expensive.

A six-minute game with Keai Yuyu and her cost five hundred dollars.

She figured the school was pretty big—six minutes definitely wouldn’t be enough.

One hundred dollars probably wouldn’t cut it.

Just getting Su Li to spare her a minute felt like a huge deal to Chi Qingyao.

“Two hundred.”

“Okay.”

Chi Qingyao agreed without hesitation. It was much cheaper than she’d expected.

Only after transferring the money to Su Li did she feel a dazed sensation.

Su Li actually agreed? No, wait—how had she just spent over two hundred dollars so quickly?

That could have bought two skins. Chi Qingyao’s heart ached a little.

She knew exactly how hard it was to earn money.

And yet, in the blink of an eye, she’d blown two hundred.

“Aren’t you going to class anymore?” Chi Qingyao asked in confusion when she saw Su Li packing her things.

Su Li had been listening attentively to the lecture just a moment ago.

Now she was going to skip class with her?

This didn’t match what she’d imagined at all.

Chi Qingyao couldn’t quite put her finger on what felt off.

Before leaving the classroom, Chi Qingyao glanced at her sister, who was sitting in her seat and watching her nervously.

Taking advantage of Su Li not looking, Chi Qingyao winked at her sister.

Su Li noticed Chi Qingyao’s actions but paid them no mind.

The moment she’d seen Chi Qingyao’s face, she’d guessed who she was.

Chi Qingya had once mentioned having a younger sister.

Su Li didn’t care much about it.

She just thought that if Cat knew she could earn money by showing someone around campus, Cat would probably be thrilled to take the job.

Su Li took out her phone and looked at the photos Cat had sent her of the little kitten.

Around the kitten, Tudou and the others were circling it, as if inspecting the new member.

[Su Li, Su Li, what should we name her?]

Seeing the message from Cat, Su Li realized they hadn’t named the kitten yet.

[Zhihe]

[Zhihe?]

[Mhm, since we found her in a cardboard box, let’s just call her Zhihe.]

[Okay, Zhihe.]

Cat didn’t say much more, but from the timing and speed of the messages, Su Li could tell Cat was a bit exasperated with her name choice.

All the while, Chi Qingyao stood nearby, quietly observing Su Li.

She realized that from the very beginning, Su Li’s face had shown no expression.

Even when chatting with others, her features remained blank.

Did Su Li never smile? Then why, in the photo with her sister, was she smiling?

Feeling the stares of many people on campus, Chi Qingyao immediately put on a lively demeanor.

“Su Li, my name is Chi Qingyao.”

“Mm.”

Su Li nodded, watching Chi Qingyao’s enthusiastic act.

She knew the girl was good at pretending. She’d worn that same mask herself before.

“Don’t you have anything you want to ask?”

Su Li shook her head.

“I thought you’d be curious about my relationship with Chi Qingya. I’ve seen a photo of you and my sister at her place.”

Chi Qingyao spoke while carefully watching Su Li’s expression.

Su Li’s face remained unchanged, as if her sister was just a stranger to her.

Chi Qingyao wondered what Su Li’s reaction would be if she mentioned Keai Yuyu.

Would it still be the same blank look?

But remembering that she still had to get spending money from her sister, Chi Qingyao dropped that thought.

“I see.”

Su Li replied calmly, still without any emotional fluctuation.

Chi Qingyao froze. She wondered if Su Li had been taken over by an AI.
