“Yes, I learned it for this,” Lin Che replied .
Situ Qiong shook his head . “You are really crazy . If you worked harder in a more normal circumstance, you wouldn’t have to learn everything at once . ”
“At least I didn’t embarrass you,” she grunted .
Gu Jingze was already unhappy with this Situ Qiong .
He usually wouldn’t have so much nonsense to say or at least that was what Gu Jingze heard .
Gu Jingze’s expression was cold . He glared at Situ Qiong, turned around, and left .
Situ Qiong naturally caught on the warning of a man . He scoffed as he stood there and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly .
Everybody who watched the competition had still not recovered from the excitement just now .
The exciting part was not about the whole competition process, but it was Situ Qiong’s sudden arrival .
And Lin Che’s moving scene .
She really made so many more lads take a liking to her . They secretly discussed and wondered why they didn’t realize that Lin Che was so moving .
It was too bad that they discovered it too late . She was already taken by Gu Jingze .
In the room, Gu Jingze asked the attendants to bring some medicine for Lin Che .
While Lin Che laid on the bed, she saw Gu Jingze dismiss the attendants and personally walked to her with cold medicine .
Lin Che hastily asked, “You… How did you know I caught a cold?”
Gu Jingze shot her a look . “You should be telling me why you didn’t tell me earlier . ”
Lin Che laid there and pouted . “I thought it was no big deal… I thought that I could handle it . ”
“Alright,” he said and let Lin Che take her medicine .
Lin Che could only open her mouth obediently .
After taking the medicine, Gu Jingze put it down . She then said excitedly, “Seriously, I thought I was going to lose . Who would have guessed that Situ Qiong would come? I couldn’t possibly lose in front of him even if I was dead . Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing . ”
Gu Jingze glanced at her . “Really?”
Lin Che continued, “Also, I wasn’t boo-ed by spectators when I won . I thought everybody wanted Lu Chuxia to win . ”
Gu Jingze looked at her .
This silly lady was completely unaware that those men were already falling head over heels for her .
He replied, “You won fair and square . Why would they boo you? That’s enough . Just lie down and rest . You still have ballet tomorrow . ”
“Oh, that’s right . I still have a vicious battle . I can’t let my guard down . This medicine won’t make me drowsy, right? I don’t wish to sleep on the stage tomorrow . ”
Gu Jingze said, “This is a newly prescribed medicine . You won’t feel anything after taking it, but it will suppress your cold . Many athletes will take this before their competition . It also doesn’t contain any prohibited drugs . ”
“Wow, there’s such a medicine?” Lin Che asked in surprise . “I didn’t know about it before . ”
Gu Jingze replied, “You don’t need to know if you don’t normally take medicine . ”
Lin Che asked, “If it’s such good medicine, won’t it be expensive?”
“It’s only two thousand yuan per piece . ”
Only…
That was considered ‘only’?
Lin Che just knew that she shouldn’t have asked .
Meanwhile, Gu Jingze .
When he went out, he immediately caught a glimpse of Situ Qiong standing outside .
Gu Jingze paused, gazed at him and slowly approached him . “Do you need something?”
Situ Qiong peered inside, “How is Lin Che doing?”
“She is fine . She already took some medicine and is sleeping . ”
“Oh, alright then . I’ll see her again tomorrow,” Situ Qiong replied .
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes, “I didn’t think Young Master Qiong would be so concerned over Lin Che . I thank you on her behalf . ”
Situ Qiong replied, “Yes, she is my disciple, after all . It’s normal for a master to care about his disciple . ”
With that, Situ Qiong turned around and left .
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes even more at him .
This Situ Qiong…
The next day .
Lin Che never thought that she would become worshipped in this circle in just one day .
Early in the morning, people were already sending gifts to her .
“Our Young Master Zhan said that this is for Miss Lin . Please accept it . These are excellent tonics that are good for your body,” an attendant ran up to her and said sheepishly .
On the side…
Gu Jingze took the gifts and passed them to the bodyguard behind . “Take them for your body . ”
Lin Che looked speechlessly at Gu Jingze . “You’re just giving them away?”
Gu Jingze looked at her, “Stupid, your body is weak from the cold . You can’t casually take all these supplements . Furthermore, you’ve already rested for a whole day but these bodyguards have been standing an entire day . Who do you think needs to supplement their body more?”
“…” Fine, what he said made sense too .
Was he really not fooling around?
After taking only a few more steps, another person came with gifts .
“Miss Lin, our President Wang would like to give you this shawl . He heard that you caught a cold . The wind outside is strong . Please take it to prevent yourself from getting cold . ”
Before Lin Che could do anything, Gu Jingze once again reached out and grabbed it .
He tossed it to the attendant behind and said, “The wind outside is strong . Here, take it . ”
Lin Che said, “Gu Jingze, this isn’t very nice . People are just being concerned about my health…”
Gu Jingze replied, “We don’t usually use this kind of thing at home . It’s not good for the skin . ”
After that, Gu Jingze couldn’t bear it any longer . He looked at people with his cold expression . If there was anyone who still dared to give Lin Che gifts, they would no longer dare after being stared at by him .
With such a black face along the way, their path was indeed much smoother .
Lin Che couldn’t help but look curiously at Gu Jingze, “Tell me . There are so many girls admiring you, but none of them has dared to give you anything . Is it because they are all frightened by this gloomy face of yours?”
Gu Jingze looked at her and replied plainly, “Of course not . ”
“Then why?”
“You want to know?”
“Yes yes . I want to know,” Lin Che nodded profusely .
Gu Jingze then told the bodyguards to not stop any rich socialite from approaching .
Sure enough, someone saw Gu Jingze and immediately ran over . She held some handmade chocolates in her hands and said, “Second Young Master, I just saw you . I… I’ve always wanted to give you my chocolates and let you try my handiwork, but your people are too fierce and refused to let others get close . Talking about it, I even went to the Gu house before but I just never saw you there . Would you like to try my chocolates?”
The girl looked at Gu Jingze . Her face was red hot because it was her first time being in such close contact with him .
However…
Gu Jingze took the chocolates . But before the girl could be happy about it, Gu Jingze already passed the chocolates to the bodyguard at his side . He then said to the girl in front of him, “Sorry, I don’t eat handmade food . Hands contain too many germs . ”
He was implying that she was dirty…
The girl blushed . A good, rich princess was instantly degraded to nothing by him .
She stomped her foot and ran away angrily . When she left, her eyes were all red .
Lin Che watched from behind . She thought speechlessly that this Gu Jingze’s mouth was really too vicious .
No wonder nobody gave him gifts .
