Judging from appearance alone, Gu Qing's girlfriend is acceptable. She has a good height and figure, and would be considered a campus heartthrob at Jin Da University.
However, her temperament doesn't quite match Gu Qing's; her smile seems a bit silly.
He had actually met Su Xiyue before, but they had never had such close and formal contact.
"Hello, I'm Su Xiyue, Qingqing's girlfriend. Welcome to my home!"
Su Xiyue tried her best to maintain the demeanor of the lady of the house. This was the first time Gu Qing had introduced her to his friends, so she had to make a good impression!
After exchanging pleasantries, the two, who weren't very familiar with each other, had Gu Qing show Yu Kai around her home.
Yu Kai walked around for a while and sighed, "Actually, I've been to Lin Fang's house off-campus, and it's nowhere near as nice as yours."
Gu Qing did not comment on this.
Ordinary college student couples who rent apartments off-campus often do not receive support from their families, so they use their own living expenses or part-time money, and their living conditions are naturally not very good.
After the tour, Gu Qing asked Yu Kai to sit on the sofa, poured him a glass of water, and then chatted with him for a while.
Su Xiyue listened quietly from the side, rarely speaking, but her gaze was always focused on Gu Qing.
As it approached seven o'clock, Gu Qing stood up and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "Xi Yue, you chat with Yu Kai for a while, I'll go cook."
Upon hearing this, Yu Kai immediately offered to help, but Gu Qing refused.
So, Yu Kai had no choice but to chat with Su Xiyue.
Fortunately, Yu Kai is a live streamer, so he's not afraid of awkward situations and can always find topics to talk about.
Su Xiyue also wanted to learn more about Gu Qing's situation at school, so the atmosphere between the two of them wasn't awkward.
"Tell me, how exactly did you manage to win over our campus belle? You have no idea how many girls in our school cried their eyes out in the middle of the night!" Yu Kai joked.
Su Xiyue glanced at Gu Qing's back in the kitchen. She wasn't really sure how she had managed to win him over.
Unlike other boys, the development between Gu Qing and Gu Qing was less a tug-of-war of who pursued whom and more a gradual mutual fusion and penetration.
"I guess I was just lucky!" Su Xiyue scratched her head.
Yes, meeting Gu Qing was probably a stroke of luck accumulated by her ancestors over three lifetimes.
214. Gu Qing is determined to have him; even Jesus couldn't stop her.
Because it was the first time Su Xiyue was officially facing Gu Qing's friend as his girlfriend, she felt a little nervous.
She, who used to enjoy eating heartily, deliberately became more reserved, chewing her food slowly and carefully.
Gu Qing smiled and looked at her for a while. Her curved eyebrows and crescent-shaped eyes made her look like a fox.
"So, you two are childhood sweethearts?" Yu Kai asked.
She already knew that Gu Qing and Su Xiyue went to the same high school.
"Not really, we only met in our senior year of high school," Gu Qing replied.
Upon hearing this, Yu Kai glanced at Gu Qing, his expression filled with surprise, and said, "Actually, I find it hard to imagine what you were like when you were dating in high school. Weren't you like this before?"
In Yu Kai's mind, the aloof and beautiful Gu Qing kept her distance from men, let alone women.
Moreover, judging from Gu Qing's rationality, it really doesn't seem like someone who would be in a relationship in high school.
Even when Yu Kai learned that Gu Qing had a girlfriend, he didn't quite believe it.
Gu Qing did not answer Yu Kai's question, but instead glanced at Su Xiyue.
Su Xiyue put down her water glass and recalled, "Qingqing was the most popular girl in our school back then, and many people pursued her. I was lucky to be close to her, and we only recently started dating."
As she spoke, a hint of smugness appeared on Su Xiyue's face.
The tower near the water gets the moon first.
Yu Kai keenly grasped the key point, and his gaze swept over the two of them.
Clearly, there must be other stories behind this, but he didn't intend to ask any further.
While it's great to be curious and want to gossip, one should know when to stop.
After dinner, Su Xiyue naturally cleared the table and washed the dishes, while Gu Qing and Yu Kai sat on the sofa and chatted.
Yu Kai is very career-oriented, and compared to the usual topics that guys would discuss, the two of them talked about this topic much more deeply, which is something that Gu Qing appreciates about Yu Kai.
This boy from a remote town always knows very clearly what he wants and works hard for it.
After finishing another pot of tea, Yu Kai took his leave.
Gu Qing didn't try to stop him; she simply put on her coat and went downstairs with Yu Kai.
"See you at our school!"
Yu Kai waved his hand and then walked away under Gu Qing's watchful gaze.
After watching for a while, Gu Qing turned around and went home.
At the entrance of the residential area not far away, Su Xiyue was looking at him with a smile.
"Why did you come out?" Gu Qing asked, taking a few quick steps.
"Of course I'm here to pick you up."
Su Xiyue opened her arms and pulled Gu Qing into her embrace.
Through her thick winter coat, Gu Qing enjoyed the treatment of facial cleanser.
"Let's go home."
Su Xiyue took Gu Qing's small hand, and the two walked towards their home, where the lights were still on.
……
After New Year's Day, time seemed to speed up.
To be precise, it was the tension brought about by the final exams that made time seem to fly by.
There are no elective courses in the first year, so there aren't many subjects to take.
Gu Qing did not miss any classes and listened attentively in class.
I also do some extra study in my spare time, so I'm not worried about the exam results.
Su Xiyue, on the other hand, seemed to be struggling a bit.
The joy of being with Gu Qing made her forget everything else. Although she hadn't missed a class under Gu Qing's supervision, she would often drift off in class, missing Gu Qing.
At this point, we naturally need to work even harder.
"You can't fail your course, understand?"
Gu Qing pushed Su Xiyue, who was hugging him, away and then pulled the girl into the bedroom.
"I know."
Su Xiyue nodded.
Seeing this, Gu Qing shook her head and advised, "Think about it, if you fail a course in your first semester of university, is it possible that your aunt will think that living off-campus is interfering with your studies and make you move back to school?"
Gu Qing's tone was not serious, nor was his expression particularly solemn.
But Su Xiyue shuddered when she heard this.
I'd rather kill her than not be able to see Gu Qing every day or live with her!
If she fails a course in her first semester of university, knowing her mother as she does, she might actually do something like that.
No no no!
Thinking of this, Su Xiyue quickly picked up her textbook.
Beauty can be a dangerous thing; I can't let myself get so obsessed with it. I must study hard!
Seeing that Su Xiyue finally understood the key to the problem, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this girl has grown a lot in the past six months, she is still lacking due to her age and limited perspective.
"Study hard, and if you don't fail any courses, I'll give you the reward we agreed on." Gu Qing added weight to the deal.
"Okay, okay, even if I study myself to death, I will never fail!"
Just thinking about Gu Qing's twin ponytails and white stockings instantly boosted Su Xiyue's motivation from 100% to 200%!
"Then work hard."
Gu Qing looked at Su Xiyue, who was already engrossed in the moment, poured her a glass of water, and then left her bedroom.
Unlike in high school, Gu Qing couldn't offer much help with the knowledge gained in college due to the different majors involved; she could only offer some assistance with daily life.
Fortunately, Su Xiyue wasn't stupid. Under the influence of the two factors, she was highly motivated and quickly got into the zone.
While Su Xiyue was studying hard, Gu Qing took advantage of the opportunity to launch his long-delayed side business plan with great enthusiasm.
Time slipped away so quickly.
A month later, with less than half a month left before the winter vacation and less than a month left before the traditional Spring Festival, the final exams arrived as scheduled.
Gu Qing naturally gave a high score.
However, unlike his long-term dominance of the top spot in the entire grade during high school, Gu Qing only achieved the third place among his peers in the Philosophy Department.
