At that moment, Zhou Zhibi was flaunting her romance in front of everyone—truly, only the new lover's laughter is heard, where is the old flame's tears? Everyone felt a surge of indignation.
Soon, the classmates' gazes turned into tiny daggers, "swish swish swish," stabbing at Zhou Zhibi's powdered face. The two by the car, lost in their own world as if no one else existed, also sensed the resentful stares from the lab.
But Zhou Zhibi, ever the social butterfly, waved at the classmates with a demeanor like a prime minister's wife condescending to comfort disaster victims: "How is everyone? Hello there, big sister~~"
Big sister? You're calling me big sister?
Gu Qiqi's mouth twitched—fake loli, people at Y Medical University aren't like you L University students, all obsessed with lolis!
Still, since she took the initiative to greet her, how could she not respond? Otherwise, wouldn't it make her, the "big sister," seem rude?
So, Qiqi flashed a graceful smile at that powdered face: "Hello to you too, little loli~"
"Oh dear, big sister, you're so annoying~~ I'm not called little loli, my name is Shishi (Zhibi)~~" The powdered face kept playing coy, her non-standard Mandarin giving Qiqi goosebumps.
"Oh, so your name is Shishi? What a coincidence, my name is Gangan~~"
"Really? Hello, Gangan-jie!" The powdered face loved playing cute.
"Not quite right, I'm much older than you, you'd better call me Auntie Gan..."
"Qiqi!"
Qin Chen suddenly cut in, interrupting their conversation, looking at Qiqi with a hint of pleading—probably feeling embarrassed that his girlfriend was being teased openly?
Tch, you want me to let her off? Think I'll soften?
Gu Qiqi snorted coldly, shut her mouth, and lowered her head to focus on her work.
But Zhou Zhibi, oblivious, asked beside her: "Chen, what did you just call this big sister?"
Qin Chen shot Qiqi a grateful glance, then awkwardly introduced her to Zhou Zhibi: "Zhibi, this is... uh, my old neighbor... Gu Qiqi."
Old neighbor? Gu Qiqi frowned—I've gone from ex-girlfriend to old neighbor that fast? If this keeps up, will I become a stranger?
But seeing the plea in Qin Chen's eyes, she bit her lip and held back.
Zhou Zhibi's smile froze, her expression flickering rapidly before settling back into an innocent, naive look: "So you're Sister Qiqi! I'm so happy to finally meet you! I've mentioned to Chen before that I wanted to see you, but he always refused~~"
See me? You, the newly legitimized mistress, want to flaunt your victory in front of me, the discarded woman?
Gu Qiqi held back, but couldn't help asking: "What do you want to see me for?"
Zhou Zhibi glanced at Qin Chen, then at the classmates behind Qiqi, stepped forward, and put on a timid demeanor: "Sister, I know you were Chen's ex-girlfriend, that you were deeply in love, and my arrival made you sad. I'm sorry!"
With that, she gave an exaggerated bow like a Korean woman. When she looked up, her face was heartbroken, on the verge of tears: "But, sister! I really, really like Chen! We truly love each other. Please let him go and bless us, okay? I'm begging you~~"
Another exaggerated ninety-degree bow!
Holy crap!
Gu Qiqi was so startled she nearly jumped—has this girl watched too many K-dramas? Does she think she's the tragic heroine? Bless you? I'll bless your mother!!
