Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
“You must know that there’s enough Professor Gu admirers at our university to circle the earth twice, right? So it’s normal that you failed, especially since it was a one-sided crush.”
“I’m fine, I haven’t lost my mind,” Ziyan laughed. “I know I’m not the only one that failed at pursuing Professor Gu, others failed too. I’m still sane.”
“Good,” her roommate said as she patted Ziyan on the shoulder. “I’m suspecting that Professor Gu likes men. Look at how many beauties there are on campus. Not just students, but teachers are also mesmerized by him, yet he’s never been interested.”
“You’re analysis sounds logical,” Ziyan nodded.
“So…I must say that all the good men in this world have been taken by other men.”
Ziyan couldn’t help but laugh. However, she did not continue with the conversation, because at that moment, she received a phone call from Gu Qingli, “Ziyan, are you free?”
“Yes, what’s wrong, Professor Gu?”
“Go to the main entrance of the campus and help me receive some documents…” Gu Qingli instructed.
“OK.” After Ziyan was done talking, she immediately put on a pair of shoes. She then headed towards the entrance to receive Gu Qingli’s documents and deliver them to him.
At that time, Gu Qingli was preparing for his class. As soon as he saw Ziyan, he stretched out his hand to receive the documents from her, “Are you free this afternoon?”
“Yes.”
“In that case, sit here and read some books. We can have dinner together later.”
Ziyan was suspicious of Gu Qingli’s reason for calling her out, but now that temptation was before her, she didn’t mind so much. Besides, Gu Qingli was obviously testing her. With such a handsome face before her, how was she to concentrate?
It was apparent that Gu Qingli was doing this on purpose as he ignored Ziyan and continued to prepare for his class.
Soon, it was time to finish work.
“You can leave first. I’ll follow behind.” Gu Qingli was thoughtful. He knew that Ziyan would feel awkward, so he asked her to wait for him downstairs.
Ziyan packed her things and left the office. She then waited beside the gates of the campus. As she spotted Gu Qingli approaching from the distance, her heart began to race.
This time, Gu Qingli did not drive again. Instead he walked with Ziyan to a restaurant that was a fair distance away.
Ziyan suspected that he went so far to avoid running into familiar faces, but Gu Qingli explained, “It’s not that I want to hide your existence. I simply feel this is more convenient and I don’t want people to disturb you. The most important thing for you now, is to focus on your exams.”
Ziyan immediately relaxed. But, how did Gu Qingli know what she was thinking?
She started to wonder whether he had planted a spy bug in her stomach.
“I have a lot of classes, but I wanted to see you, so…I asked you to run some small errands for me. You didn’t mind, did you?”
Ziyan quickly shook her head.
Gu Qingli smiled. He then lifted his wrist to check the time. It was still early, so he asked Ziyan, “Are there any good films recently? Do you want to watch something?”
Ziyan lifted her head in surprise, unsure how to respond.
“Or, are you busy tonight?”
“Even if I was busy, I would postpone it,” Ziyan quickly replied. “What I mean is…I don’t have anything on tonight; I’m free.”
“Silly.”
Ziyan’s feelings were written all over her face; Gu Qingli didn’t even have to guess how she felt.
But, for some reason, Gu Qingli found this extremely cute, “What do you want to watch? Or are you OK with anything?”
“Anything is fine,” Ziyan replied.
After all, she was simply there to watch a particular person. Gu Qingli understood what she thought, so he satisfied her wish, as well as his, by selecting a 3-hour long musical.
For Ziyan, it really didn’t matter what they were watching. All that mattered was the person sitting next to her.
Gu Qingli was very thoughtful towards Ziyan. After dinner finished, he walked her over to the theater.
Gu Qingli was a well cultured man and Ziyan was completely mesmerized by this…
But, this man happened to be her professor.
Soon, Gu Qingli prepared the tickets and popcorn and gestured for Ziyan to follow him in. After they sat down, he handed the popcorn to Ziyan.
“I wasn’t sure whether you liked sweet stuff, but I bought it anyway.”
Amidst the darkness, Ziyan held onto the popcorn as her heart filled with joy!
“Are you still thinking that this is all a dream?” Gu Qingli suddenly asked before the film started playing. “I’m actually not as unapproachable as everyone thinks. I’m just a normal person.”
“Not anymore,” Ziyan shook her head. Gu Qingli’s arm was resting on the back of her chair, so she finally realized that everything was real.
“Professor Gu…”
“Are you still calling me Professor in private?” Gu Qingli asked as he looked at Ziyan with a smile. “Call me Qingli, I’m not that much older than you.”
“But, Qingli sounds a little distant,” Ziyan replied.
“I’m the fourth oldest in my family. You can call me Brother Four.”
Brother Four…
Ziyan accepted this name. At least, it sounded a lot closer than ‘Qingli’.
“Since we’ve left the campus, you should forget our identities. You are not my student and I am not your professor. We are just a man and a woman, OK?”
“How could that not be OK?” Ziyan thought to herself.
At that moment, Gu Qingli retrieved his arm and bravely held onto Ziyan’s hand in the dark.
Ziyan was stunned. She never expected Gu Qingli’s hand to be so slender and warm…
“I think, we can be together,” Gu Qingli suddenly said underneath the fl**kering light of the screen before them.
Ziyan felt like she was on cloud nine. But, a moment later, she quickly pinched herself.
When Gu Qingli saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “This is real, Ziyan. You’re more attractive and imp**ssive than you think. Don’t think that you’re not worthy of me – I’m actually not worthy of you.”
“Gu…Brother Four. This is too sudden. It doesn’t feel real at all.”
Gu Qingli gripped her hand tighter. After the film finished, he began to explain as they walked hand-in-hand down the street, “I’m a person that believes in first imp**ssions. You made me feel comfortable and calm when I first saw you. Plus, as soon as I discovered how you felt, the first thing I did was look for your confession letter rather than worry about being bothered by you.”
“This means, I never disliked the fact that you liked me.”
“After these past two days of getting to know you, I’ve realized that I really want to discover more of your cute antics. That’s why…I would like to be your boyfriend.”
“I’m sorry if you feel this is too casual. It’s just, I know you’ve already understood me well over the past 4 years, so I don’t think you still need time to understand me any more,” Gu Qingli laughed. “Would you agree?”
Ziyan couldn’t help but nod. “I can try my best to understand you and care about you. But, I think I will feel more confident if you were my girlfriend. I’m sure you feel the same.”
“To me, you are different to everyone else. Since that’s the case, why don’t I treat you differently to everyone else from the start?”
These words were completely effective on Ziyan.
After all, Gu Qingli’s explanation was logical.
She did indeed understand him well already.
So, it was only natural for them.
However, she was originally suffering from a broken heart. How did she suddenly end up with a boyfriend?
A boyfriend…
Wasn’t Ziyan about to be taken advantage of?
However, Gu Qingli never considered taking advantage of Ziyan. He simply felt that she was a good girl that he couldn’t help but protect and appreciate.
That night, Ziyan and Gu Qingli confirmed their standpoint and became an official couple.
After returning to her dormitory, Ziyan lay on her bed and tried to think of Gu Qingli’s face. Her face immediately turned red and her heart began to race; she had never expected her dream to come true.
Gu Qingli was too charming. So charming that it was like he had stepped out of a painting. Yet, this man actually held her hand…
It seemed, Ziyan was destined to have no sleep that night…
The next day, Ziyan got out of bed with a pair of dark eye bags, giving her roommate a fright, “Ziyan, did you stay up all night? Why are your eye bags so bad?”
Ziyan immediately went to the bathroom to check the mirror and discovered that her eyes were completely swollen and unsightly. But, she still had Gu Qingli’s class that day.
Although she wanted to attend, she couldn’t go with that face. So, she ended up skipping the class even though she knew Gu Qingli would be angry…
Not long after the class ended, she received a phone call from Gu Qingli as expected. On the other end of the phone, he calmly asked, “Why weren’t you in class?”
“My eyes aren’t feeling well. Ever since returning home last night, they’ve been swollen.”
“Come to the library at noon,” Gu Qingli said gently. “I’ll wait for you there.”
Ziyan had no choice but to apply a little bit of makeup to cover her eyes. When she arrived at the library and found Gu Qingli, she lowered her head to prevent him from seeing her dopey appearance.
“Lift your head,” Gu Qingli said.
Ziyan lifted her head reluctantly and tried her best to open her eyes. She could imagine that her image was completely destroyed at that point. But, Gu Qingli simply gave a gentle chuckle and helped her massage her eyes.
“Did you not sleep last night?”
“Uh huh,” Ziyan nodded. “I couldn’t sleep. I was afraid I was dreaming.”
Gu Qingli smiled as his hands moved even more gently, “Do you need me to remind you every day that you’re not dreaming?”
“It doesn’t feel real.”
Ziyan’s head was lowered and her eyes were swollen, but Gu Qingli felt that this Ziyan was extremely cute, so he couldn’t help but place a k**s on her l*ps, “Does this still feel like it’s not real?”
