189: Chapter 189 Hoping to receive a lawyer's letter, you can still be so tough.

Su Ye looked toward the corner, and after a gasp from several girls, they disappeared into the corner in a flurry of chaos.

Just as the girl mustered the courage to speak, the sound of desks and chairs moving came from the classroom behind her; it was clear that Gu Qingyan and the others had finished class.

Su Ye looked toward the back door of the classroom, and sure enough, Gu Qingyan walked out carrying her canvas bag, chatting and laughing with two other girls.

He offered the girl an apologetic smile, pointed in Gu Qingyan's direction, and said: "Sorry, my girlfriend has come out."

After speaking, he strode toward Gu Qingyan and called out: "Qingyan—"

Gu Qingyan turned her head. Upon seeing Su Ye, her eyes lit up, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face. She cut through the crowd, threw herself into Su Ye's arms, tilted her little head, looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come over?"

Su Ye ruffled Gu Qingyan's hair, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: "I missed my little secretary, so I came."

A blush spread across Gu Qingyan's cheeks, and she then took Su Ye's large hand and headed downstairs: "There are too many people here, let's go down and talk."

The girl was dazed upon seeing Gu Qingyan's face. The fingers of her left hand, which was holding a pink cat phone case, were clenched white. She lowered her little head and whispered: "So his girlfriend is this pretty?"

After Su Ye and Gu Qingyan reached the downstairs area, Su Ye said: "There's a charity banquet tonight, will you accompany me?"

Gu Qingyan's eyes crinkled into crescents as she smiled, and she nodded her little head: "Okay, but you have to accompany me back to the dorm to get some clothes first—"

Su Ye readily agreed. The two strolled through the campus toward the girls' dormitory. Along the way, Silly Gu kept talking about various things she had encountered recently—from seeing a cute kitten to finding her classes difficult—chirping away like a singing lark.

Upon arriving at the girls' dormitory, Su Ye naturally couldn't go up. Didn't you see the dormitory warden, a woman about 1.6 meters tall and weighing at least two hundred jin, standing at the entrance with a broom?

Looking at the five-story dormitory in front of him, Su Ye felt helpless. Gu Qingyan looked gentle and intellectual, but she was quite headstrong in some aspects. For example, even though Su Ye had given her his supplementary card, she never looked to see if things were designer brands when shopping; she just picked affordable and suitable items. She also didn't want to go out and rent an apartment or buy a house for herself, preferring to insist on living in the dormitory.

Su Ye believed that everyone had their own perspectives and their own consciousness, so he didn't want to interfere too much in everything Gu Qingyan did. As long as she was happy, that was fine. Besides, no matter what, Su Ye would always be there as her backing to catch her if she fell.

Before long, Gu Qingyan came running down the stairs carrying a canvas bag. Before she could run toward Su Ye, a boy wearing a white shirt and holding a basketball walked quickly in her direction. Sweaty bangs were dripping on his forehead, but his eyes were fixed intently on her.

The boy stopped in front of her, hands behind his back, as if he had mustered up all his courage, his face slightly flushed: "Classmate Gu Qingyan!"

"My name is Zheng Qian, from the business school next door. I've been seeing you in the library for the past two weeks, and I feel..."

Silly Gu frowned and said in a delicate voice: "Classmate Zheng, I don't care what you feel, I care about what I feel. Also, you are blocking my way, which is very impolite."

After saying that, she ran toward Su Ye, shook the canvas bag in her hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Su Ye."

Su Ye nodded, waited for Silly Gu to take his arm, and then walked toward the school gate.

Zheng Qian looked ugly as he reached out and squeezed the packaging box of a Cartier necklace he had bought after saving money by eating instant noodles for two weeks. Hearing the whispering around him, Zheng Qian felt that everyone was laughing at him. With a gloomy expression, he glanced in the direction where Gu Qingyan and Su Ye had disappeared and chased after them.

Some onlookers, seeing Zheng Qian's actions and sensing some drama to be had, hurriedly followed as well.

At the school gate, Su Ye opened the AMG car door for Gu Qingyan, then sat in the driver's seat. Just as the car was about to start, Zheng Qian suddenly ran out, saying with a sarcastic and contemptuous look: "Gu Qingyan, I thought you were so pure, but I didn't expect you to be so close to someone who drives a luxury car like this? It seems you aren't such a good person either!"

Su Ye tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel without saying a word, though the smile in his eyes faded slightly and his brows furrowed.

Gu Qingyan sighed helplessly. Just as she was about to speak, Zheng Qian leaned in closer, his tone carrying a touch of "savior" certainty: "I know you must have been dazzled by his conditions and don't know how to choose someone who truly likes you. Although I don't have much money right now, I have sincerity, and in the future, I will definitely be able to rely on my own ability..."

"Pfft—" Hearing Zheng Qian's "average but confident" remark, Su Ye couldn't help but break his composure and laugh, despite the coldness he had felt just a moment ago.

Gu Qingyan interrupted him, her voice already tinged with a hint of anger, chiding him: "Classmate Zheng," "First, Su Ye is not 'someone who drives a luxury car like this,' he is my boyfriend; second, I came here for advanced studies specifically to be able to help him."

Gu Qingyan shook the "Administrative Document Writing Standards" book she had just taken out of the canvas bag, the dense annotations on the pages particularly conspicuous: "I used to be Su Ye's secretary. Even though I've become his girlfriend now, I don't want to just be a 'vase' relying on him. I want to understand the logic in official documents and learn more professional administrative coordination. These are my own pursuits and have nothing to do with whether someone has money or sincerity."

Zheng Qian was stunned, his face instantly turning bright red, and he stammered: "But, but he drives such a nice car. If you are with him, others will definitely say you..."

Gu Qingyan smiled and turned to look at Su Ye, her eyes full of warmth: "Say what about me? Say I'm after his money?" "When Su Ye and I first met, we both rented an old, dilapidated apartment on the top floor. I don't care what others say; the innocent are self-evident. On the contrary, you, Zheng Qian, aren't you being a bit too 'average but confident' and too much of a turn-off?"

Zheng Qian's face turned bright red, and the snickers of the onlookers reached his ears: "Damn, there really are 'average but confident' guys in this world, and one is right next to me!" "Awesome, awesome. He means that instead of choosing a young, promising, handsome guy driving a two-million-plus car, people should choose a loser like him, right?" "I know him, this guy is from the business school. We'll go online and call him out in a bit." "I really don't know where he gets his confidence from."

Zheng Qian couldn't take it anymore. He took the red gift box out of his pants pocket and slammed it hard onto the ground, just like the face he valued most.

Then, with a hideous expression, he said to Gu Qingyan: "Gu Qingyan, you missed out on someone who loved you the most. Love cannot be measured by the value of money. You are just a gold digger, bowing down to money—"

"Slap!" Su Ye had sensed something was wrong the moment he saw his hideous expression. He immediately got out of the driver's seat. Before Zheng Qian could say anything more disgusting, he slapped him hard across the face, the immense force causing Zheng Qian to spin around on the spot.

Zheng Qian clutched his right cheek in a daze, and then a wave of shame from being slapped in public rushed to his brain. He shouted: "You dare hit me!"

He lifted his foot and kicked toward Su Ye. Su Ye dodged slightly to the side, then delivered a fierce side kick to Zheng Qian's waist, knocking him to the ground. A puddle of dirty water splashed up, covering Zheng Qian.

Su Ye looked at Zheng Qian, who was like an old dog, with a calm expression and said indifferently: "Don't look at me, get ready to wait for a lawyer's letter. I want to see if you can still be as tough as you are now." Afterward, he returned to the driver's seat and sped off, disappearing from the school gate.
