At that moment, a stunning figure appeared at the doorway.
The classroom instantly erupted into a frenzy, with every pair of eyes turning towards the entrance in unison.
Su Cheng also looked up and was immediately struck by an exquisitely beautiful face. The girl had a cascade of soft, black hair that cascaded down her shoulders, and unlike the other girls, she wore black knee-high socks. She seemed to emanate a faint glow, making her appear both sacred and enigmatic, standing out from the crowd.
The scene was like a painting, giving the illusion that even if the world were to end, this girl would remain unshaken.
Her aura bore some resemblance to Ji Qingyi's.
Su Cheng noticed that Gu Ruoxue scanned the classroom and eventually fixed her gaze on the empty seat next to him, and then her eyes locked onto him.
"?"
Su Cheng was momentarily stunned but then met her gaze without hesitation, showing no discomfort under her scrutiny.
This scene did not escape Ji Qingyi's notice, and she frowned slightly.
Clearly, she was displeased with their reactions.
Neither of them showed any change in expression, not even a subtle one.
She didn't sense any negative atmosphere between them, which meant there was no issue.
In this situation, Ji Qingyi's gaze shifted back to Gu Ruoxue, but Gu Ruoxue remained as still as a flawless sculpture, her eyes devoid of emotion.
Ji Qingyi quickly pondered in her mind.
Su Cheng's amnesia was understandable, but what about Gu Ruoxue?
The two retracted their gaze, and Li Guanqi, noticing their exchange, asked from the side, "Do you know Senior Gu?"
"No, I don't."
Su Cheng shook his head, speaking the truth.
Gu Ruoxue then walked directly to the empty seat near Su Cheng and sat down, drawing almost half the classroom's attention. However, she seemed completely oblivious to the stares and sat down indifferently, as if she didn't care about the eyes on her.
"Junior Li, you seem to be quite interested in the classmate next to you."
Gu Ruoxue's gaze swept over Su Cheng and then landed on Li Guanqi, speaking in a cold, slightly husky voice, like the strings of a harp being gently plucked in the night breeze.
Li Guanqi silently looked at her, neither admitting nor denying.
"Whether you are or not, you know it in your heart. His complexion is not good; I suggest you remind him to go for a check-up, just in case."
Gu Ruoxue's gaze returned to Su Cheng, and she spoke in a calm yet indifferent tone.
Su Cheng was taken aback and his expression darkened slightly.
He now understood why Gu Ruoxue had been staring at him earlier; it was because she had noticed his condition.
Truly worthy of being S-level.
Hearing this, Li Guanqi stiffened. Although she had noticed that Su Cheng's complexion wasn't good and thought it might be due to lack of rest, hearing it from Gu Ruoxue made her realize the matter might not be so simple.
She nodded slightly at Gu Ruoxue and then turned to look at Su Cheng, carefully observing his face and finally noticing an abnormal shade of black on his forehead.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior. I'll go for a check-up later."
Su Cheng also noticed Li Guanqi's gaze and replied with a smile to Gu Ruoxue, his voice calm and polite.
However, he felt quite annoyed inside. He didn't want his friends to worry about him, but this woman had been too blunt. He might have to spend another cigarette to play it cool with Li Guanqi later.
"Mm."
Gu Ruoxue lightly acknowledged and then closed her eyes to rest, as if nothing had happened, quietly waiting for the bell to ring.
This scene was naturally observed by Ji Qingyi, who showed no unusual reaction, maintaining her elegant and composed demeanor as if she didn't care about anything.
Su Cheng lowered his head and whispered to Li Guanqi beside him, trying to sound casual, "My health is fine. I'll go for a check-up this weekend."
"Mm."
Li Guanqi nodded, lowering her voice, "But your complexion looks very haggard. I think you need to rest."
As she spoke, Li Guanqi took out her small pillow from her bag, clearly indicating its purpose, and then added, "I'll take notes, and we can discuss them together this weekend."
"No need to go to such trouble. I'm not sleepy."
As he spoke, Su Cheng took out his water bottle, planning to drink some coffee to stay awake. However, as soon as he unscrewed the lid, the aroma of coffee filled the air.
Then, he suddenly felt two icy gazes fixed on his coffee.
One was from Gu Ruoxue, and the other from Ji Qingyi.
Both gazes were filled with intense coldness, as if they wanted to freeze the cup in Su Cheng's hand.
Su Cheng's heart raced, and he subconsciously tightened the lid.
His first thought was that these two disliked the smell of coffee.
This was a public place, so he couldn't act selfishly and inconsiderately, as he needed to consider others.
He put the water bottle back in the drawer and glanced at Ji Qingyi beside him. She was looking at him expressionlessly, her eyes seemingly saying, 'Do you want to die here?'
Su Cheng finally realized that his icy president was concerned about him.
Coffee contains caffeine, which can release adrenaline, strengthening heart contractions and increasing heart rate, further burdening the heart. For someone like him in the acute phase of coronary heart disease, it could directly damage the heart valve function, triggering angina, arrhythmia, or even a heart attack, possibly leading to instant death.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly at Ji Qingyi.
Ji Qingyi didn't respond and shifted her gaze back to the podium.
Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a mix of helplessness and confusion.
Helplessness because he couldn't drink coffee, and confusion about why Gu Ruoxue was also giving him that look.
"Could she have seen that I have heart disease?"
Su Cheng speculated inwardly.
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
Impossible!
Even old Chinese doctors need to take pulses.
How could this girl be so amazing?
Probably just hate the smell of coffee.
The situation was also observed by Li Guanqi, whose gaze finally rested on the water bottle in Su Cheng's drawer.
Recalling what Senior Gu had said about Su Cheng's health and the looks from Ji Qingyi and Gu Ruoxue...
Gu Ruoxue drinks coffee and wouldn't dislike its smell.
Moderate coffee consumption is beneficial to health and wouldn't cause any issues.
The only people who might react this way are those with specific conditions.
1: Kidney stones
2: Heart disease
3: Stomach issues
Only people with these conditions might react like this.
Realizing this, Li Guanqi's brows furrowed as she looked at Su Cheng with a mix of curiosity and doubt.
Ultimately, she decided to find an opportunity to collect Su Cheng's saliva and have it tested at the hospital.
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
