As for the matter of Chen Xi liking Gu Zi, putting aside whether it was simply a case of unrequited affection—after all, it was still uncertain—Li Juan had planned to ask Gu Zi after class about her thoughts on the matter.
She had hoped to clear the air and resolve any tension between them. But with Tang Xue misunderstanding her intentions, Li Juan decided it was best to leave it alone. After all, in Tang Xue’s eyes, any man was more important than her friendship.
Li Juan’s face hardened, and she said coldly to Tang Xue, "Think whatever you want."
Tang Xue, sensing the disappointment in Li Juan’s voice, immediately felt a pang of regret. After all, in high school, Li Juan was the first person who had spoken to her. But now, the idea of apologizing felt too humiliating, and she was growing increasingly flustered.
Gu Zi, meanwhile, was growing increasingly exasperated. She had always preferred to keep a low profile at school, but somehow, that had become impossible. Her roommates’ issues were now the talk of the class, and she didn’t even understand what had prompted Tang Xue’s sudden hostility.
She had planned to ask her about it, but just as she was about to, the bell rang, signaling the start of class.
After class, Tang Xue left quickly, and Gu Zi was stopped by Zhao Ling, who called her over. "Gu Zi, the class advisor said that your ability surpasses mine. I assume you’ve already submitted the translation file to him, right?"
Gu Zi turned to look at Zhao Ling, and only then did she notice that Zhao Ling didn’t look well. She had dark circles under her eyes, likely from staying up late working. It seemed that Zhao Ling had indeed been working overtime on the translation, but some things just couldn’t be accomplished with effort alone.
Gu Zi had also finished the translation file, but with the deadline still two days away, she had decided to wait until the last moment to submit it. If she handed it in too early, the advisor might assume the task was easy for her and assign her more work. Gu Zi had no intention of letting that happen. "Not yet," she replied calmly.

One of the best novels. A different touch, a change in usual billionaire's stories filled with cruelty and betrayals. Thank you author....
