The roommates all shook their heads in unison.

Chen Xue said, “I heard that Young Master Mo is particularly low-key. He never shows his face in public, and the media don’t dare to take his picture. How would we know what he looks like? But, his wife…”

At this point, she suddenly halted, giving Gu Li an incredulous look, “Little Pear, you couldn’t possibly be…”

As if they both had thought of something, Mi Dong and Qiao Yin also turned their eyes towards Gu Li.

Gu Li felt a shiver run through her, sensing trouble in her heart.

Oh no, could she have been recognized?

But her natural face looked quite different from when she was dolled-up on TV. Even though she shared the same name, it wasn’t likely…

Gu Li was hesitating on how to react when Mi Dong burst into laughter before she could decide, “Haha, our imaginations are really wild. We actually suspected Little Pear to be Mo Shiting’s wife, Gu Li. This is too shocking.” “Yeah, how could Mo Shiting’s wife be studying at this university? And in the demanding field of Architecture? Why wouldn’t she just enjoy her life as a lady?”

Qiao Yin agreed with a nod.

Chen Xue looked at Gu Li closely, unable to resist confirming, “Little Pear, are you really ‘A Sweet Pear’? Please don’t lie to us.”

“Oh, Chen Xue, enough already, how is Little Pear possibly…”

Just as Mi Dong was trying to stop her from persisting with a laugh, Gu Li responded straightforwardly before she could finish, “Yes, it’s me.”

Boom

There was an instant of silence throughout the room, as if the air had been frozen.

It took several seconds for them to regain their bearings.

They looked at each other and then at Gu Li again followed by excited screams.

“Ah! Ah! Ah    ”

“My god, it’s really you…”

Chen Xue burst into tears, laughing and crying as she embraced Gu Li. The sight was quite ridiculous.

Gu Li was dumbfounded.

Was this girl one of her readers?

What a small world.

Gu Li smiled, extending a hand to pat Chen Xue, who had glued herself to her. She couldn’t help but chuckle, “I didn’t know you liked comics.”

Chen Xue released her, her eyes gleaming with excitement behind her glasses “Mainly, because your story is really wonderful, and your characters are beautifully drawn. Besides me, a die-hard fan, both our dorm leader and Qiao Yin also love your work. Right, guys?”

“Yeah, definitely.”

Qiao Yin and Mi Dong nodded rapidly in agreement.

If it got out that they were dormmates with ‘A Sweet Pear’, they’d garner so much attention.

However, they were not ones to spill secrets. They understood Gu Li’s special situation and that she clearly wanted to keep a low profile at university. So, unless she gave permission, they wouldn’t disclose her information.

Thinking of this, the three girls straightforwardly shared their thoughts with Gu Li.

Gu Li took a moment to hug each of them, her voice filled with gratitude: “Thankyou all. I trust you.”

In reality, she struggled and hesitated at first but as the saying goes, one lie often leads to many more. If these girls were strangers, perhaps she wouldn’t admit that she was ‘A Sweet Pear’. However, they were set to be her roommates for the next two years. Gu Li felt it necessary to be honest, so she decided to come clean.

The focus of everyone was on her identity as ‘A Sweet Pear’, they had totally forgotten about the initial topic, Mo Shiting.

Helpless against their fanaticism for comics, their favorite author certainly held more importance to them than the faceless entrepreneur, Mo Shiting.

The four of them chatted happily.

In reality, it was more like the other three were questioning, and Gu Li was answering.

Their focus was on the content of the comics she created, as well as updates on her new works.

“Little Pear, when will the next installment be released?”

Chen Xue had started to urge an update in person.

Seeing her roll up her sleeves, as if ready to take on a battle, Gu Li instinctively took a couple of steps back.

Oh no, a blunder!

Having a fanatic fan close by, how would she ever laze around again?

No way, she had to change the subject immediately.

Having said that, Gu Li glanced at her watch, “Oh my, it’s time for class. I have to go.”

With that, she picked up her thermos and dashed off.

Chen Xue: “???”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Was she that terrifying?
