"Alright," Wang Lei didn't say much seeing his self-deception.
Besides, the money had already been transferred, and it was too late to say anything.
How could he realize his mistake without suffering a loss? If his girlfriend was truly a gold digger or scamming him, she would definitely ask him for money again later!
At that time, he would have a good talk with Qi Che.
Not long after Qiao Ci sent the text message, her mobile banking received a notification of 100,000 yuan deposited.
She took out her laptop, opened it, and registered on the stock website, completing the real-name verification and bank card binding in one go.
That's right, she planned to make some extra money by trading stocks.
Now she was practically penniless. Having eaten and lived at Qi Che's place for so long for free, as a girl, she felt she couldn't continue freeloading.
Houses in the imperial capital were very expensive. Even renting a place would incur significant monthly expenses. Qi Che only had 200,000 yuan, which would be quickly depleted for rent and daily life.
Therefore, Qiao Ci decided that she would cover all their expenses for their four years of university.
A dormitory typically housed four people. Including Qiao Ci, there were currently only three. The other person was local and lived at home, but the school would still assign them a dormitory.
As long as one wanted to live on campus, it was available at any time.
Qiao Ci and Qi Che had enrolled in the same department but were not in the same class.
Early in the morning, Qiao Ci got up to wash up. While in the bathroom, two girls were pointing at her and whispering.
"Duoduo, it's her. Last night, I saw her carrying takeout from the cafeteria to the boys' dormitory. The handsome guy you like came down to get it, and they chatted for a while," one of the girls whispered to the girl next to her.
Qian Duoduo then looked at Qiao Ci properly. Seeing her fair and smooth skin after washing her face, with not a single blemish, she immediately felt uncomfortable.
She had found out that the boy from yesterday was named Qi Che, from the computer science department.
Was this girl in front of her already acquainted with him or had she just met him yesterday? Was she pursuing Qi Che?
Qian Duoduo had no intention of asking Qiao Ci directly, as it would make her seem cheap.
She decided to observe further. In any case, she had her sights set on Qi Che, and she was determined to win him over!
Regardless of whether he truly had a girlfriend or if it was an excuse.
"Host, that girl has been looking at you with ill intentions. Deal with her!" Xiao Shuo felt very unhappy seeing others pointing fingers at its host!
"This is a lawful society. Can you not be so... uncivilized?" Hearing Xiao Shuo's words, Qiao Ci's brushing motion paused, and she replied with a hint of amusement.
"Alas, ancient times were better, where one could seek revenge swiftly. Oh, Host, that girl just rolled her eyes at you, how detestable!" Xiao Shuo suddenly exclaimed indignantly.
It hadn't accompanied the host for several worlds. Cough, cough, mainly because it was afraid of working and felt somewhat guilty towards Qiao Ci.
Therefore, in matters within its ability, it wanted to care for her more.
"Don't worry about her. I won't be living in the school for long anyway, probably moving off-campus in about a month." Qiao Ci was unconcerned. Anything unrelated to the mission or the cub was just fleeting in her eyes.
When she went to the cafeteria for breakfast, she remembered Qi Che probably hadn't eaten yet, so Qiao Ci sent him a message: Have you eaten breakfast?
The next second, Qi Che replied: I woke up late this morning and haven't eaten yet. How about you?
Qiao Ci: Wait for me at the entrance of the teaching building. I'll bring it to you. What do you want to eat?
Qi Che: Steamed buns and millet porridge will do.
Xiao Shuo, looking at the abundance of delicious food in the cafeteria, suddenly felt like entering a small world to play.
Seeing Qiao Ci about to bring food to Qi Che again, it said enviously, "Host, you're so good to the cub. You sent a loving dinner yesterday, and now you're sending a reassuring breakfast~"
"What's there to say? It's just a small effort. Cough, cough, mainly because he often cooks for me, and I haven't made him a single meal. Since I can't cook now, bringing him some food from the cafeteria will be my way of doing it," Qiao Ci explained drily.
Actually, she just suddenly thought it was quite fun to bring food to Qi Che.
After eating a few bites, Qiao Ci headed towards the teaching building with the breakfast. Her two roommates were in the same class as her and walked with her.
Xu Jing saw that she had already eaten breakfast but had specifically bought another portion to bring along, so she curiously asked, "Qiao Ci, haven't you eaten yet? What's this?"
Qiao Ci's eyes curved into smiles as she replied, "My boyfriend hasn't eaten breakfast yet. I'm bringing this for him."
"Boyfriend?" Xu Jing exclaimed in surprise, "You already have a boyfriend since starting university? Hehe, you must have met in high school, right?"
"No," Qiao Ci shook her head. "We only confirmed our relationship the day before yesterday. In high school, we were just simple classmates."
"Wow, I'm so envious," Xu Jing said, striking a pose like Xi Shi, "You're so good-looking, your boyfriend must be very handsome too."
"Yes, he's very handsome," Qiao Ci stated without any pretense of modesty.
Wu Xin, standing nearby, also joined in the fun, "We'll get to see your boyfriend soon. I want to see how handsome he is."
"I want to see too, I want to see too," Xu Jing quickly agreed.
Upon learning that Qiao Ci's boyfriend was waiting for her in front of the teaching building, the two girls couldn't help but start searching everywhere as soon as they saw the building.
There weren't many people in front of the teaching building; it was a clear view.
There wasn't any particularly handsome guy.
The two felt that Qiao Ci might have exaggerated, after all, love is blind. Perhaps her boyfriend was just average-looking, and the girl's vanity made her insist her partner was handsome.
"A Ci."
At this moment, a pleasant voice came from behind.
Seeing Qiao Ci stop, the two seemed to realize something and turned around in unison.
They saw a radiant, sunny boy who looked as if he had stepped out of a manga, looking at Qiao Ci with a gentle expression.
His focused gaze was unwavering, as if Qiao Ci was the only one in his eyes, and he was only willing to look at her.
Qiao Ci handed him the breakfast and reminded him, "Eat on time."
"Isn't that what I'm supposed to say to you? You're the one who doesn't eat on time," Qi Che said with a laugh upon hearing this. The sunlight falling on his face made him appear as if bathed in holy light.
"It's your first day of classes today, don't be late, hurry up and go," Qiao Ci said, suppressing the urge to pat his head.
"Mm, you too, good luck!" Qi Che said and then walked towards the administrative building. His long arms and legs made him look very elegant as he walked, and coupled with his outstanding appearance, he attracted a lot of attention.
"Holy cow, Qiao Ci, your boyfriend is too handsome! Wuwuwu, I feel like I've been dumped. He actually has a girlfriend, and she's my roommate!" Xu Jing wailed with exaggerated expression.
Wu Xin stared blankly at Qi Che's retreating figure, her eyes filled with amazement.
Did such handsome guys truly exist?
