Gu Ran straightened up again, still holding the bottle of stomach-churning Huoxiang Zhengqi water in his hand. "Speak, what's the matter?" Forgive him for changing the subject so quickly; Su Ruo was caught off guard and suddenly froze. "W-what... what's the matter?" "You made such a fuss," Gu Ran glanced at her, "disrupting the flag-raising ceremony on the first week of school, was it just to take a look at my face?" Su Ruo: "..." President Gu, when you're shameless, you're really unbearable to look at. "Say it, what do you want to do." Gu Ran truly lived up to his reputation as the top student and school heartthrob of Quanzhou, so perceptive in observing people and events. But Su Ruo was no pushover either; on the way here, she had thought a lot. She couldn't let Gu Ran see that she was afraid of Gu Chen knowing about her affairs at school, otherwise, wouldn't he have a handle on her? "I... I... I just wanted to ask... if you're free for lunch... to go to the cafeteria together in the future." As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ran frowned, and a sudden gasp of shock came from the door of the infirmary. Su Ruo and Gu Ran turned their heads at the same time; the school doctor hadn't closed the door when leaving, and a corner of a yellow garment was particularly conspicuous. The owner of the yellow clothes cautiously poked her head out, a girl with a ponytail: "I... I came to find the school doctor..." Just as she finished speaking, another girl with curly hair also popped out: "Hello, senior students, we also came to see the doctor." Gu Ran stepped aside, returning to his usual indifferent demeanor: "If there's nothing wrong, hurry back to class."

He walked straight out, and the two girls at the door immediately straightened up, looking a bit uneasy standing there. Fortunately, Gu Rang didn't linger and left the infirmary directly. Once he was gone, Su Ruo let out a long sigh of relief, only then feeling the muscle aches from holding herself back all the way. The two girls at the door watched Gu Rang's retreating figure with reluctance, looking back three steps at a time as they walked into the infirmary, and quickly ran to Su Ruo's side. 'Senior, senior, are you very familiar with President Gu? What's... what's your relationship with him?' Su Ruo: '...' Facing two completely strangers with such eager questioning, she was a bit stunned and didn't react in time while sitting on the bed. The girl with short hair was obviously good at reading people and quickly guessed her confusion, immediately extending her hand with a sweet smile: 'Senior, we're in the same class as you, my name is Huang Lulu, she is Ye Qiu.' Su Ruo subconsciously glanced at their name tags and realized they were indeed from Class 2 of Grade 10. She had been busy dealing with a group of naughty boys from the junior high department recently and hadn't had the chance to observe her classmates properly. Now she realized that she didn't even have an impression of what the people in her class looked like. 'Uh, hello. Are you... also suffering from heatstroke?' 'Ah, we...' Ye Qiu looked embarrassed and stumbled over her words. Huang Lulu quickly took over the conversation: 'Yeah, we had a bit of a headache and came to check it out, senior, are you alright?' 'I'm fine. If you're looking for the school doctor, you might need to go next door.' 'Oh, okay.'

Huang Lulu linked arms with Ye Qiu and had just reached the door when she stopped again, 'Senior sister, let's go back to the classroom together later, okay?' Su Ruo: '...' Ever since she entered Binzhou Academy, Su Ruo had been labeled as a female tyrant, and every student who saw her would avoid her. Today, however, two girls actually took the initiative to talk to her, and they were so enthusiastic that she found it a bit hard to take in at first. Could it be that they weren't afraid of her? Not afraid of the bizarre rumors surrounding her? At the same time, Huang Lulu and Ye Qiu, who had walked outside, were both brimming with excitement, especially the former, whose eyes were practically shining with agitation. 'I told you, she must have a big background. She actually asked the student council president to have lunch together, there must be something fishy.' 'Lulu, is it really okay for us to do this? She... she has been to jail, hasn't she...' Ye Qiu was obviously not as bold as Huang Lulu and still felt a bit fearful inside. This statement earned a disdainful roll of the eyes from Huang Lulu: 'Are you a pig? Do you believe such rumors? If she really killed someone and went to jail, how could Binzhou Academy be willing to take her? No matter how powerful her background is, there are plenty of kids from wealthy families in this school, how could they let a murderer come in to study? Moreover, if her background is so significant, it's even more impossible for her to be held back a grade. If killing someone doesn't matter, how could she possibly be repeating high school first year? Don't you guys use your brains.' 'Then why would those people from the junior high department...' 'Dumb, of course it's because of Senior Gu Rang!' Speaking of Gu Rang, the light in Huang Lulu's eyes was about to converge into a heart, 'I think Su Ruo must have a deep relationship with President Gu, that's why those people from the junior high department are afraid of her.'

Just now we also saw that they were talking so close together, and they are even going to have lunch together later. Have you ever seen President Gu get so close to a girl?” Recalling everything they had just seen, Ye Qiu couldn't help but nod seriously: “That's true.” Actually, they weren't here to see the doctor in the infirmary at all. During the flag-raising ceremony, Su Ruo caused such a commotion that the whole school witnessed it. At that time, Huang Lulu had an intuitive feeling that something was wrong after seeing Gu Rang's princess carry, and then she quietly followed her. Then they witnessed the scene just now, as well as the image of Su Ruo generously inviting Gu Rang to have a meal together. Throughout the entire Panzhou Academy, Gu Rang has always been the spokesperson for the mobile refrigerator, unsmiling, expressionless, and cold, rarely talking to girls. And all of this today has completely subverted their inherent impression of him in their hearts. “So, getting along well with Su Ruo is definitely the right move.”
