Chapter 15: She’s Almost Ruined the Reputation of Australian University
Gu Qili was originally the center of attention at Australian University, initially because of her dual identity as both the campus belle and top scholar, but now the plot has twisted, and she has suddenly become a negative example.
Amidst the whispers, even in the cafeteria where there were originally seats for six people, only Gu Qili and Mickey sat facing each other, with several empty seats next to them becoming glaringly conspicuous amidst the bustling crowd.
Everyone just watched from afar, and no one came to sit down.
While waiting to get rice noodles, Mickey cautiously looked around and noticed everyone's glances were fleetingly directed at them. The cafeteria was too noisy to hear what they were saying, but those non-eating, moving mouths must be chewing on some unpleasant words.
At this moment, she really admired Gu Qili's calmness; her slender fingers pressed on the tiny pocket-sized vocabulary book, as she was trying hard to memorize words, as if the discussions among the people were not about her.
Since the person involved remained so calm, Mickey also let it go, and those discussions soon turned into insignificant gossip, entering one ear and exiting the other.
As Gu Qili was memorizing words, a text message suddenly popped up on the screen of the phone beside her.
She glanced at the phone number with a bit of dread; although it wasn't saved, she knew it by heart.
She opened the text message, and immediately, as if she had done something guilty, she quickly turned it off, then looked up at Mickey sitting across. Mickey, looking down at her phone, did not notice her reaction.
Gu Qili felt a sigh of relief, yet her face felt hot.
That man had actually written in the text, "Where did you put my pants?"
