Chapter 470: 336 Brother, I miss you._1

“Pear, are you going to participate in Super Brain?”

Chen Xue adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, unable to help but confirm again.

Mi Dong instinctively looked at her.

Gu Li nodded seriously: “Hmm.”

“Wow, Pear, that’s impressive. Go for it, go for it.”

Chen Xue has always liked Gu Li, and was genuinely happy for her.

As for Mi Dong, while trying to restrain a drunken Qiao Yin, she said breathlessly: “A few days ago, our tutor told Qiao Yin that she almost certainly had a spot this time. She was extremely happy… perhaps she went out for this reason this afternoon.”

“I see.”

After hearing that, Chen Xue sighed and fell silent.

Gu Li pursed her lips, about to explain, when she heard Qiao Yin start crying and wailing again—

“Wuwu, give me back my spot, Gu Li. I really need that prize money…”

“Gu Li, I’m begging you, okay?”

“Why can’t it be me? Why…”

“Wuwuwu…”

Whether she was really drunk or not, she was certainly crying her heart out. Eventually, her head tilted, and she fell asleep.

At this moment, the dorm was finally peaceful.

Phew.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

“Pear, did you sign up for Super Brain? How come I haven’t heard you mention it before?”

Mi Dong asked, curious.

Gu Li blinked, somewhat puzzled: “I am supposed to sign up?”

“Of course.”

Mi Dong smiled, “Otherwise, how are they going to select one person out of so many students at our school? But if you didn’t sign up, how did you get selected?”

“Yeah, I want to know too.”

Chen Xue also joined in, looking very gossipy.

Gu Li briefly told them about what had happened in the principal’s office on Friday afternoon.

After hearing that, they both nodded, appearing to understand.

As the head of the dorm, Mi Dong naturally had the responsibility to mediate conflicts between dorm members, so she patted Gu Li’s shoulder, saying proactively: “Don’t worry, I’ll explain to Qiao Yin. This is not your fault at all.”

Although being appointed in advance was a bit unfair, the school administration surely wasn’t going to be stupid. If Gu Li wasn’t outstanding enough, they wouldn’t let her represent Imperial City University, let alone all college students nationwide, on the world stage, or else they would lose face completely.

Therefore, both Mi Dong and Chen Xue trusted the school, and trusted Gu Li, when it came to this selection.

As for Qiao Yin, all they could do was to comfort her.

Although the three of them have been best friends since their first year, and Gu Li only joined them this year, so their feelings for her can’t compare, sometimes they still need to see things objectively.

It has to be said that Gu Li was very lucky to have these two reasonable roommates.

…

After taking a shower, Gu Li lay in bed, tossing and turning.

After probably lying for over an hour, guessing that Mo Shiting was about to get home, she picked up her phone to text him. Unexpectedly, it was as if they had a psychic connection. Just as she was about to send her message, his came in at almost the same time.

Pear: [Brother Ting, are you home yet?]

Ting: [Baby, have you gone to sleep? I’m home.]

Pear: [Haha.jpg]

Ting: [Cool.jpg]

Ah, apparently he had learned from her to use expression packs.

Gu Li slightly smiled, her previously gloomy mood suddenly lifted because of him.

She bit down on her lip, thought for a moment, and sent a text: [Brother, I miss you.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meanwhile, Mo Shiting had just returned to Blue Sky Blue Sea.

Parking his car, about to turn off the engine, he casually picked up his phone and saw her text. His heart inexplicably tightened.

He didn’t reply right away. His hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, and it was quite a while before he replied: “It’s late, go to sleep. Goodnight.”

Gu Li waited for him for quite some time, but only to receive a bland goodnight. She couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise.

That’s it?

Isn’t that too much?

At least say something like “I miss you too”.

Humph, she was angry now.

Gu Li puffed out her cheeks, took a deep breath. She didn’t bother typing out any words, she simply sent him a “moon” emoji.

Afterwards, regardless of whether or not he had replied, she simply turned off her phone and went to sleep.

…

At the other side.

Mo Shiting stared at the crescent moon emoji that Gu Li had sent, and couldn’t help but smile lightly.

He sent back a “sweet dreams” emoji, and then dialed Lu Yang’s number.

Night owl Lu Yang was watching a movie in his apartment. Seeing a call from his young master late at night, he was startled.

God, has something big happened?

You should know, his young master is an old-fashioned type, usually sleeps before midnight unless work is particularly busy.
