He Zhichu drove Gu Nianzhi over to the Huaxia Student association’s mixer party in his Mercedes-Benz
He parked the car in front of the building and, to Gu Nianzhi’s complete surprise and dismay, followed her inside
Gu Nianzhi had tried several tiuave up: she would just have to ignore him and pretend that he wasn’t there She walked into the building and began toand extremely beautiful All eyes were on her as soon as she walked in What ood conversationalist, but also was cheerful and easygoing Her fellow students quickly warmed up to her
Gu Nianzhi scanned the roo for, the one froanizers aside and asked, in a low voice, “Hey, have you seen Zhao Quan?”
“Zhao Quan? I saw hi thes?” The student pointed the kitchen out to her
Gu Nianzhi thanked her and calmly walked towards the kitchen
He Zhichu casually followed her She was tense as he stopped in the kitchen doorway, and looked in
A chubby man, half a head shorter than Gu Nianzhi, turned and hurried to the door “Yes? Are you looking for me?”
Gu Nianzhi stood frozen in place
What the heck!
Thislike his photo on the university website! He had been sitting down in the photo, which had h, he had a pleasant face that was easy on the eyes, he probably could have passed for an “Adonis”—if only he had been a little taller
Gu Nianzhi stood and stared at her short, chubby “Adonis”, chagrined She could al at her behind her back
Well, she thought, she was just going to have to go through with it—she was a woman on a , and she would have shamelessly worshi+pped the etting the results she was after!
He Zhichu was, as Gu Nianzhi suspected, laughing at her, but only inwardly
He coolly looked Gu Nianzhi’s “Adonis” over, before turning to leave
Once Gu Nianzhi saw that he was gone, she breathed a sigh of relief It would have been soaround
“Brother Zhao, I heard you’re a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Engineering That’s, like, so aly at Zhao Quan with her large eyes; she bat her eyelashes at him and smiled Zhao Quan’sgaze
“Oh no, I-I-I’m just like any other researcher, r-really,” sta “Want some?”
“Thank you, Brother Zhao” Gu Nianzhi accepted the chicken wing She held it up to her nose and inhaled “Oh gosh, this san to butter Zhao Quan up again “I’ood at science I never paid much attention in my science classes, you see, ever since I was little, so I really admire those with a head for science—like you, for example! Actually, now that I think about it, women have always been inferior to ave an exaggerated sigh
Zhao Quan was feeling light-headed from all the praise He quickly said, “Hey now, don’t underestient and accomplished women in the sciences, and many are better than the men in their respective fields even”
“Really? I don’t believe you You’re just saying that to make ain as she placed a grilled chicken wing on Zhao Quan’s plate “Here, you should eat too, Brother Zhao”
Zhao Quan s, and pointed in the direction of the living rooao, the most accomplished student in my department She’s the leader of our best observation and surveillance tearee yet!”
“Oh, really?” Gu Nianzhi’s heart was racing now She had not expected Xin Xinggao to be at the party as well—coao was dressed casually, and appeared to be a gentle, well-mannered lady with delicate features and wavy hair that reached her shoulders She was chatting with the president of the student association, a beer in her hand
Gu Nianzhi set her plate down, and wiped her hands neatly with a napkin She reached for a bottle of beer and handed it to Zhao Quan “Here, have sos”
Zhao Quan downed half the bottle in one go “Everything I say is true! You can look it up on the university intranet if you don’t believe me It’s public information”
