Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 122 The Scorching Sun (21 pages)

Gu Yao watched the scenery outside the window change again and again, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

He knew that if he went there, the Gu family would only decline further.

Father and Mother Gu could not save the declining Gu family.

Gu Yao sighed and looked away.

Two months ago, Gu Xi, who had been in contact with him, also lost contact.

It seems something has happened.

Gu Yao was somewhat worried.

Sitting next to Gu Yao, Gu's mother looked at the silent Gu Yao and wanted to ask him what was wrong.

Gu Yao, however, took the bag and closed his eyes to rest.

Gu's mother's concerned words stuck in her throat, turning into a silent sigh.

A year later, Gu Yao arrived at the school after saving enough money for graduate school tuition.

Looking at the vast campus that stretched as far as the eye could see, he sighed.

The person in front of him checked the list and handed the dormitory key to Gu Yao.

The moment she looked up and saw Gu Yao, her eyes revealed amazement.

The boy in the sunlight stood tall and straight, with a clear and open face.

With its somewhat aloof air, it truly resembles a straight, evergreen pine tree.

The accumulated stones are like jade, and the rows of pines are like green.

His beauty is unparalleled, unmatched in the world.

The boy's fair skin shimmered in the sunlight, even whiter than hers, the girl's.

The girl looked at her arm and sighed inwardly.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

As a volunteer, she smiled and handed the dormitory key to the person in front of her.

But since she'd run into someone this handsome, she naturally had to make the first move.

She smiled and looked at the young man in front of her as if he were a hot commodity: "Handsome, are you interested in exchanging contact information?"

Gu Yao took the key and politely declined, "I'm sorry, but the person I like doesn't like me getting too close to other people."

The girl wasn't too disappointed.

After all, such a high-quality boy would definitely be in high demand.

She smiled and waved her hand.

"It's okay, you must attend any social gatherings."

Gu Yao nodded. "I will."

Gu Yao dragged his suitcase to find his dormitory.

When Gu Yao arrived at the dormitory, he wasn't early. The other three people in the dormitory had already arrived and were making their beds.

When they saw him come in, they all looked up at him.

One of the guys from the social circle jumped off the bed first, looked at Gu Yao with some amazement, and reached out his hand with a smile.

"You must be our last roommate. Hello, my name is Lin Qian."

Gu Yao also reached out and shook hands, "I am Gu Yao."

The other two roommates also got off their beds and walked up to Gu Yao.

"My name is Sun Ran."

"I am Yan Nan."

Gu Yao also greeted them with a smile.

"You're so late, have you had lunch yet? It seems there's an outstanding graduate coming to give a speech this afternoon, are you going?"

As Yan Nan packed her things, she asked her roommate.

Lin Qian waved his hand, "I'm not going. I have a date today."

The other two, seeing his sour, lovey-dovey expression, started to criticize him.

"Wow, having a boyfriend is amazing."

"Me too."

As he spoke, Sun Ran pulled out a pillow with a picture of a certain anime goddess printed on it.

"Look, this is my wife."

Yan Nan grabbed Sun Ran by the neck and said, "Brother, what a coincidence! We both have the same wife."

Sun Ran waved his hand and put the cushion on his bed.

"As long as I live, you will all remain mere concubines. There's a comic convention this afternoon, and I'm going to attend it, so I won't be going."

"Then I won't go. My sister is coming to drop me off today, so I'll treat her to a meal and try out that newly opened trendy restaurant."

Gu Yao quietly made the bed.

Yan Nan looked at Gu Yao without saying a word and asked, "Gu Yao, are you going?"

Gu Yao thought for a moment, "Let's go. There's nothing much to do on the first day. Let's go listen to a lecture. He seems to be a very outstanding senior."

Of course I have to go. How can I see him if I don't go?

Yan Nan recalled for a moment, "He was indeed quite outstanding. I think his name was Qi Xuan."

Gu Yao's body trembled upon hearing this name.

He forced a smile and said, "Is that so?"

The other three in the dormitory were chatting happily downstairs, while Gu Yao was making her bed alone.

He couldn't help but rub his fingers together, then opened his phone. The photo on the screensaver captured their beautiful moment.

I'm going to see him today.

Gu Yao couldn't help but smile.

We're going to meet soon.

The school auditorium was quite crowded. Gu Yao arrived late, and at a glance, it was packed with people.

Only the first row was relatively empty, probably because no one wanted to sit there.

Gu Yao didn't care too much; he had originally planned to sit in the first row anyway.

It allows you to see people more clearly.

Gu Yao sat below, waiting for the lecture to begin, listening to the voices around him.

All I could hear were rumors about this senior.

All I could hear was how outstanding Qi Xuan was.

Gu Yao felt inexplicably nervous, even though he had already experienced it once before.

Why am I still so nervous?

Is it because I haven't seen him in too long?

Gu Yao lowered his head, and the noisy voices around him gradually quieted down.

He knew that the lecture was about to begin.

Looking up, Qi Xuan slowly walked onto the stage.

Gu Yao stared intently at Gu Xi—no, now it should be Qi Xuan.

He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person standing in that spotlight.

The young man, now shed his youthful naiveté, stood on stage in a formal suit, speaking eloquently.

What did Qi Xuan say?

Gu Yao didn't know.

He stared blankly at that exquisite and handsome face.

I couldn't think of anything else.

Only the person in front of you.

Gu Xi.

long time no see.

Gu Yao smiled happily.

Looking at the person shining on stage, his eyes were gentle yet persistent.

Got you.

This time, they won't loosen the restrictions again.

Qi Xuan also noticed Gu Yao, and his gaze would inadvertently fall on him.

The boy's bright eyes always followed him, making him straighten his back involuntarily.

We meet again.

A Yao.

The lecture ended with enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Looking at the composed and confident people on the stage, Gu Yao felt a sense of pride.

His eyes didn't waver for a second, and he clasped his hands together to applaud Qi Xuan.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Gu Yao stood outside the auditorium door, waiting for Qi Xuan.

He had so much to say to Qi Xuan.

He couldn't help but straighten his clothes, feeling somewhat restless.

After thinking about it, I was still not satisfied. I took out my phone, turned on the front camera, and reached out to tidy up my messy hair.

When Qi Xuan came out, he saw Gu Yao tidying up the two tufts of hair on his forehead.

Somewhat cute.

Qi Xuan's gaze darkened, but he walked up to Gu Yao with a smile on his face.

“A-Yao.”

Gu Yao looked up, put away her phone, and met Qi Xuan's gaze.

He also raised a smile.

"Senior Qi."
