“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.
