Chapter 1874: Sending Master Zhi a Bouquet of Eternal Flowers
"Also giving Master Zhi a bouquet of eternal flowers," Su Yunling said, placing the flowers into Gu Zhiqi’s arms.
Gu Zhiqi instinctively reached out to catch them.
Even though Su Yunling was wearing a mask, Gu Zhiqi could still hear what he said clearly.
Hugging the flowers, she slightly tilted her head up to look at Su Yunling, "Did you carve these yourself?"
"My carving skills aren’t as good as yours, I hope Master Zhi won’t mind," Su Yunling said, extending his hand towards Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi’s lips curved into a smile, she tightened her grip on the flowers, and said to Su Yunling, "Of course, I don’t mind at all, I like them a lot."
With that, she placed her hand that wasn’t holding the flowers into Su Yunling’s palm.
Originally, Gu Zhiqi coming out early after handing in her exam was already attracting attention.
Su Yunling carrying such a large bouquet of ruby-carved flowers for her drew even more eyes.
Some even started taking pictures with their phones.
So, after holding Gu Zhiqi’s hand, Su Yunling led her towards the car.
In the crowd, people started whispering softly.
The older ones, looking at the pair, felt a bit touched.
"Ah, youth is wonderful."
"Yeah, reminds me of the year I took my college entrance exam, the father of my child also gave me flowers."
Pure onlookers commenting:
"Wuwuwu, eternal flowers, I’m crying, I want a bouquet too."
"Those flowers are so pretty, can anyone tell me what type they are? I want a bouquet too."
"Looks like glass."
"What glass? Those are gems."
"That big of a bouquet, and you say they’re gems? I don’t believe it, unless someone gives me a bouquet to verify."
"Look at the car plate number and you’ll know if it’s glass or gems."
"Whoa, that plate number... does that student’s family own a mine?"
There were also sour and jealous comments:
"So young, already cozying up to a rich person, tsk~"
"Not focusing on their studies, always tangled up in romance."
"I knew it, why leave the exam early? Turns out, they didn’t need to work hard at all."
...
Of course, regardless of the comments, neither Gu Zhiqi nor Su Yunling paid them any mind.
After getting in the car, they left directly.
In the crowd, the discussions continued.
But after Su Yunling’s car drove away, the chatter began to fade.
What remained were those still feeling sour and debating whether the bouquet really was made of gems.
**
Soon after Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling left in the car, Gu Zhiqi received a call from Gu Huaijin.
Seeing it was Gu Huaijin calling, Gu Zhiqi instinctively glanced at Su Yunling, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Previously at the City Lord’s Mansion in Yan City, when she and Su Yunling were holding hands and unexpectedly ran into Gu Mengyang, Gu Zhiqi was puzzled about why she felt uneasy seeing Gu Mengyang.
Now, she somewhat understood.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi looking at him, Su Yunling raised an eyebrow, looking back at Gu Zhiqi, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Gu Zhiqi: "It’s my brother calling, don’t speak for a bit."
Hearing this, Su Yunling paused, then said in a slightly melancholic tone, "Am I someone who can’t be seen?"
Gu Zhiqi: "...That’s not it."
Afterwards, she explained seriously, "It’s just, if he finds out I’m with you before I’m of age, it might make meeting the parents difficult later on."
Su Yunling curved his lips into a smile, "So our Master Zhi is thinking so far ahead."
"Go ahead and take the call, I won’t make a sound."
Only then did Gu Zhiqi answer the call from Gu Huaijin.
As soon as the call connected, Gu Huaijin started, "Finished your exams? I’m waiting for you at the entrance of the Eighth High School."
Gu Zhiqi: "...Well, I handed in my exam early and already left by car."
Gu Huaijin: "..."
