Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Encountering Zhong Li at the Grilled Fish Restaurant
As Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, Jin Cenglv’s expression changed slightly, showing obvious difficulty in her eyes.
Gu Zhiqi noticed her discomfort and said, "The mental method I gave you, you’ve been practicing for more than half a month now. With your talent, you should have already broken through."
"The reason you haven’t been able to break through is because you have practiced too little, and your accumulated Merit Points are too low."
"I, I know, it’s just..." Jin Cenglv said while sneaking a glance behind her and lowering her voice to Gu Zhiqi, "The person sitting opposite him is my advisor, and I came out this time to take sick leave from him."
Gu Zhiqi heard this and fell silent.
A few seconds later, she turned her head to glance at Jin Cenglv’s advisor, finding him somewhat familiar.
**
Over there, the person who Gu Zhiqi was talking about felt someone watching him, followed the gaze, and then noticed Jin Cenglv sneakily looking over.
Seeing Jin Cenglv’s delicate face, the young man reached out to touch his own face, then raised his hand to fix his hair, wriggling around in his seat, finally striking a pose he thought was very handsome.
The person sitting opposite him saw this and glanced up, asking, "What, is there a nail in your chair?"
The young man paused slightly, pouting at the person opposite, "What do you know? I’m just giving my admirers a glimpse of my handsome side profile; it’s all part of being Yan City University’s youngest and most handsome professor."
The person opposite: "..."
The young man arranged his posture, looking towards Jin Cenglv while saying, "What can I do, with so many admirers at Yan City University, that beautiful girl over there is already sneaking a peek at me..." Before he finished, he saw Gu Zhiqi looking over, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Crap!"
The person opposite: ?
"Are the students at Yan City University all this good-looking?" the young man muttered under his breath, then glanced at Gu Zhiqi again.
First a pretty girl, now... this girl is just unbelievably beautiful.
Gu Zhiqi had already turned away, no longer looking towards him. The young man glanced quickly, then withdrew his gaze, clicking his tongue softly, "Although she’s very attractive, she looks a bit young. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even need to admire me—I would definitely pursue her."
"What’s that saying again? I was born when you were born, but by the time you were born, I was already old." The young man said with a look of wistfulness, shaking his head regretfully.
The person opposite just thought he was crazy and didn’t want to engage with him.
"But, that girl in the green looks a bit older, and her looks are quite high too..." The young man said while staring at Jin Cenglv’s back, stroking his chin, "Do you think I should make a move?"
The person opposite still did not respond to him, but out of curiosity, turned his head to follow the young man’s gaze.
At first glance, he didn’t see Gu Zhiqi, but the familiar back facing him.
He stared at that back for a few seconds before suddenly chuckling and clicking his tongue lightly, "Tsk, sick leave."
"Brother Li, what are you talking about?" The young man didn’t quite hear Zhong Li’s muttering and asked.
The person sitting opposite the young man was indeed Zhong Li, and upon hearing the young man’s question, Zhong Li’s eyes deepened slightly, "Saw a fraud."
Saying that, he shifted his gaze away from Jin Cenglv and onto Gu Zhiqi.
