Gu Shichu's college life started quickly. She majored in economics. She attended and finished classes every day and quickly adapted to this new identity.
That day when she was sorting out her study notes in the classroom, a classmate suddenly came to her and told her:
"Gu Shichu, there is a gay man looking for you outside the school gate! Who is he to you?"
Gu Shichu was a little confused: "Who is it? I don't know either."
She had just come to school not long ago, and she didn't know any gay men outside the school. She didn't even fully recognize the gay men in her class, so when a gay man came to see her, she had no idea who it was.
"He is a very handsome gay man. He is tall, has a very cold temperament, and is not very approachable. Could he be your date?" said the female classmate who came to report to Gu Shichu. .
Gu Shichu frowned. When she heard this description from her female classmate, the first thing she thought of was Ji Mingtao.
But could it really be Ji Mingtao? He hadn't always been in the village, so how could he suddenly appear in the capital?
"What partner? I don't have a partner." Gu Shichu clarified as he walked out of the school gate.
When he arrived at the school gate, Gu Shichu immediately saw Ji Mingtao, who stood out from the crowd. He couldn't help it, he was too conspicuous. He was half a head taller than the others, not to mention he was extraordinarily good-looking.
"Why are you here?" Gu Shichu was really surprised. She ran to Ji Mingtao and asked in surprise.
Ji Mingtao stared at her greedily. She had only been in the capital for less than three months, and she already seemed like a different person.
Her hair was no longer braided into two braids, but was cut into shoulder-length mid-length hair. It was spread loosely, black and smooth, making her eyebrows picturesque and her complexion like snow.
She was no longer wearing plain old clothes with dark colors, but a neat and clean white shirt and light blue khaki trousers, making her look pure and elegant.
There is no trace of a country girl in her body anymore. In addition, she is confident and generous, and does not have the inferiority and shrinkage of other people from the country. People who don't know her origin will definitely think that she is from the city. The girl inside.
Even if Ji Mingtao knew that she had always been a person who would change quickly and soar into the sky just waiting for the opportunity, when he saw her at this moment, he still felt that he did not fully understand her.
"Let me see you." Ji Mingtao lowered his eyes and answered her softly, "How are you doing? Are you comfortable at school?"
Gu Shichu took his arm and walked to the side and said, "I am living a good life and I am very adaptable to this kind of life.
Since you are here, I will treat you to dinner. There is a state-owned restaurant near here, and the food is quite delicious. "
Although Gu Shichu thought she had broken up with Ji Mingtao, they got together easily and did not fall out, so when Ji Mingtao came to the capital, she still had to show her loyalty to the landlord.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the state-owned hotel. After ordering, Ji Mingtao asked her:
"Are you living in the school dormitory now?"
Gu Shichu replied unsuspectingly: "No, I applied to live outside. There are too many people in the dormitory, and everyone's living habits are different. It is easy for conflicts to arise, so I rented a house to live by myself."
She was quite scheming, and neither she nor Ji Mingtao said that her house was bought, but rented.
Ji Mingtao said casually: "Then where do you live? Is the house you rent safe? It's best to know who the neighbors are, so as not to make your stay uneasy."
"Don't worry too much about this. I've thought about this problem a long time ago, so the house I rent is near Jinghua University. Most of the people living around are teachers from the school, so safety is guaranteed." Gu Shichu said proudly said.
Ji Mingtao's eyes flashed, and he saw that it was near the university, and most of the neighbors were teachers - well, he already knew the general range.
Gu Shichu, who didn't know that Ji Mingtao was secretly thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, excitedly told him about his new life after arriving in the capital.
Ji Mingtao listened to her quietly, peeling shrimp shells and picking fish bones for her from time to time, just like he did during any of their meals in the village.
Gu Shichu had long been accustomed to Ji Mingtao serving her attentively while eating, so at this time he was completely unaware of anything wrong with their intimate behavior.
Ji Mingtao did it on purpose, but he didn't mean to remind her at all. Instead, he went even harder and wiped Gu Shichu's mouth, making the surrounding diners think they were a loving couple or a love interest.
After eating this meal, Ji Mingtao did not pester Gu Shichu, but had a sense of propriety.
The next day he brought a small radio to her: "I heard that everyone in college has to learn English. I brought you some tapes. It will be easier for you to learn along with the radio."
Gu Shichu didn't want to collect his radio and tapes. After all, after countless lifetimes of experience, her English had become as proficient as her native tongue, and she didn't need to practice with the radio at all.
So she refused: "No, this radio is too expensive. I can't take it. You can take it back and use it yourself."
"It's not expensive. I bought it at cost price. Just accept it and treat it as a gift from me when you get into college." Ji Mingtao quickly found another reason to convince Gu Shichu.
Gu Shichu couldn't refuse and could only accept it, but she said: "How about I return the money to you? After all, this gift is too expensive for you to spend."
However, no matter what she said, Ji Mingtao refused to accept her money and left quickly without giving her a chance to persuade her.
After that, he never came to see Gu Shichu again. Gu Shichu thought he had returned to the village, but unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared in front of Gu Shichu again a month later.
"I'm going back. Will you go back to the village during the winter vacation?" Ji Mingtao asked her.
"I won't go back. Anyway, I will only be alone when I go back." As expected, Gu Shichu replied.
Ji Mingtao had expected it and was not surprised by it.
He looked at Gu Shichu steadily for a long time, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart.
Finally, he suddenly said: "You haven't fallen in love with anyone else yet, have you?"
Gu Shichu was shocked when she heard his question, but she didn't think much about it, thinking that he was just curious, so she answered:
"No, alas, even if I want to talk, it's not that easy. I'm not interested in him either. Either he's not good-looking enough, or his character is not good... He doesn't meet my standards."
Ji Mingtao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his dark eyes lit up, his brows relaxed suddenly, and there was a joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.
"It's fine if you don't have it. Don't lower your demands and let yourself make do." He said hypocritically.
