“Do teachers have personal cults too?”
Dongfang Liuyun was about to continue working when suddenly there was a chuckle. She looked up and Qi Lei’s tall figure greeted her sight. She raised her brows in surprise because she did not expect to b.u.mp into him here.
“What are you doing here?” Her cold voice questioned. In the next second, she quietly averted her gaze and continued flipping through the materials in her hand.
Qi Lei shrugged as he put the book back where it came from and walked towards her.
“I always come here to get some books to pa.s.s the time, but I never thought that you’d be here too!” He walked to Dongfang Liuyun’s side and pulled open a chair to sit as he stared at the items on her table. She seemed to be referring to a doc.u.ment about a translation that looked like scribbles to Qi Lei.
“I don’t usually come here, but I heard that there are quite a lot of doc.u.ments for referencing here, so I came over to take a look.”
“I haven’t seen you online in quite a few days now. I was wondering where you went.”
“Do you think that I could live every day so idly like you, Master Qi?” Dongfang Liuyun said and stopped what she was doing. She silently began to tidy up the items on the table. “I’m going back first. You take your time here.”
She had already been here for almost a whole day now from morning till right now and had not even had lunch. Right then, she felt her stomach rumbling with hunger. If she did not look for something to eat, she would probably go dizzy at any moment.
Dongfang Liuyun had always been a workaholic. Once she started working, she would lose track of time, like today. This was a common occurrence.
“Have you been here the entire day?” Qi Lei seemed to have understood something and asked in surprise.
“What do you think?” Dongfang Liuyun kept everything away and put her own things into a huge sling bag before she slowly got up and turned to look at him.
Qi Lei raised his brows. He thought about it for a moment, then said, “It’s about time. How about I treat you to dinner? I wonder if you would give me the honor, Miss Liuyun?”
Upon hearing that, Dongfang Liuyun gave it a thought, then shook her head. “I probably don’t have time tonight. I’m meeting some friends to play ball, so I probably can’t make it in time.”
“Play ball? With this body of yours? Play ball?” Qi Lei was doubtful as he sized her up.
Dongfang Liuyun shot him a side look. “What’s wrong with my body? If we were to play, you might not be able to beat me.”
“Might not? I don’t believe that!”
“You can try!”
…
Once Qi Lei got a taste of Dongfang Liuyun’s skills, he immediately surrendered!
Dongfang Liuyun’s ball was actually referring to snooker. They played at a nearby club.
When they went over, Dongfang Liuyun’s friends had already begun, but when they saw her going over, they immediately went up to her. Their eyes were filled with respect. Of course, there was even adoration that Qi Lei could see quite clearly.
“This is Ah Jin. He’s the boss of this club. That’s w.a.n.g Xueyi. He’s an expert, and the rest are friends that I got to know here. Usually, when we’re bored on Fridays, we come over to play one or two games. Whoever loses needs to pay for dinner.”
Dongfang Liuyun gave Qi Lei a brief introduction to her friends.
The men called Ah Jin and w.a.n.g Xueyi both looked like quite tall men, especially the club owner, Ah Jin. When he saw that Dongfang Liuyun had brought Qi Lei over, he did not look pleased, but she just pretended that she did not see that.
“Qi Lei’s my friend. Don’t bully him. He’s here to watch us play.”
When Dongfang Liuyun finished the introductions, the man called Ah Jin immediately smiled and said to Qi Lei, clearly trying to provoke him, “Since you’re Dongfang’s friend, why don’t you play a little? I’m sure that you’re quite good as well.”
Dongfang Liuyun took it all in and frowned. Before Qi Lei responded, she immediately said coldly, “Do you want me to play with you? If you lose, then the bills for the next three months will be on you, alright?”
“Dongfang, I…”
“If you don’t have the guts, then don’t put up a front in front of me. You know that I always look down on people like that,” Dongfang Liuyun said that without any tact. She turned to look at Qi Lei beside him, then lowered her voice to say, “Don’t take his words to heart. He’s like that, always thinking that he’s all that.”
Then, she put down the bag on her shoulders onto the chair and took the cue stick to start playing.
Qi Lei did not say anything. He ignored the other people and sat down on a stool, casually watching Dongfang Liuyun play.
However, it would have been better if he had not watched her because he was shocked by her amazing skills!
Seven in a row!
Eight in a row!
She tortured all her little friends.
No wonder when she walked in earlier, they had gaped at her like she was a G.o.ddess.
Dongfang Liuyun was a master at many games.
Qi Lei quietly drew a conclusion about her. In fact, she seemed to have quite a reputation among this group of people.
However, Dongfang Liuyun stopped after playing only two games, then her hunger made her frown. Her old problem was troubling her again!
…
“Are you okay? I’ll go get you some medicine!”
On the bench by the roadside late at night, Qi Lei looked concernedly at the woman who walked out of the club grimacing in pain as she sat down only after walking for a long while.
Dongfang Liuyun breathed in, lifted a hand slightly, and stopped Qi Lei. “I”m fine. I’m just getting gastritis from being too hungry. It’s an old issue. There’s a pretty good restaurant in front. Let me catch my breath and I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“You really don’t care about your health, huh?” Qi Lei reached out to help her take her heavy bag and said in a lowered voice.
The night breeze was a little cold as it got later. When Qi Lei saw that she was wearing a flimsy dress, he thought about it, then took off his coat to pa.s.s to her.
When she saw the blazer, Dongfang Liuyun paused and slowly looked up at him. Her clear eyes seemed surprised, but she was only momentarily stunned before she quickly rejected it. “No need.”
She was never used to people worrying for her and rarely accepted kind intentions from others.
“Put it on. It’s a little cold right now. I’m not telling you to be my girlfriend. What are you worried about? I’m just showing off my chivalry to a beautiful and excellent woman,” Qi Lei stated as he put the coat onto her lap, then slowly turned around to sit beside her.
