Chi Gui maintained a calm demeanor.

After a while, the group on the right seemed to finally catch on and immediately burst into laughter.
Amid the laughter, someone asked, “Chi Gui, if you’ve never met any important figures, could you stop talking nonsense? Do you think Academician Zhou is like ordinary old people?”
Chi Gui’s dark apricot eyes turned toward the speaker, her expression somewhat puzzled, “Aren’t important figures also human? Don’t they also have their own personalities?”
Hearing her say that, the crowd chuckled and shook their heads, no longer speaking.
Chi Yan chuckled softly, “Sister, I saw Academician Zhou with my own eyes yesterday and even spoke with him… I have no need to lie to everyone, right?”
Chi Gui: …
Su Niannian was much more direct; she looked at Chi Yan and sighed deeply, “Chi Yan, have you never considered that… maybe Academician Zhou was just being cold towards you?”
Her comment instantly killed the mood.
The classmates who had been flattering Chi Yan earlier scoffed, “Who do you think Academician Zhou isn’t cold towards? Chi Gui?”
After saying that, she couldn’t help but laugh herself.
The other students laughed as well, “No way, no way? Some people actually believe Chi Gui’s tall tales?”
Chi Yan looked down, chuckled, and said no more.
Su Niannian was livid but didn’t want Chi Gui to feel upset, so she tried to console her.
But when she turned her head, she saw Chi Gui lazily propping her forehead with one hand, her apricot eyes distant, and she muttered in surprise, “So we’re seen as so celestial in the eyes of outsiders?”
She hadn’t paid any attention to what had just happened.
Su Niannian: ??

After class, Chi Gui received a message from Lu You.
[Sister Chi, I will be in Nancheng tonight, where are you? If it’s nearby, should I come and meet up with you?]
Chi Gui: [Nancheng?]
Racing rallies usually choose mountainous roads, and with its flat terrain, Nancheng has no suitable mountain roads for rallies.
Lu You soon replied: [Yeah. My friend’s racing team accepted a challenge from another team, and they chose Nancheng.]
In the Racing World, these small private competitions are frequent; some are for sharpening skills, others purely for gambling, but professional racers generally don’t participate.
After all, the professional league has clear rules that forbid racers from participating in any private races; being reported could likely end a racer’s entire career.
Chi Gui narrowed her eyes slightly, [Are you participating?]
Lu You, knowing what Chi Gui was worried about, chuckled, [I’m not participating, just helping a friend coach their team’s rookies and tune their cars a bit.]
Chi Gui didn’t say much more, [I’m in Nancheng, my treat.]
She chose a restaurant and sent the location to Lu You.
Lu You responded with an “OK” emoji.

After class, Chi Gui sent a message to Fu Si that she wouldn’t be coming home due to some commitments.
She had taken his money, and thus owed him three meals a day; naturally, she had to request leave for her absence.
Fu Si didn’t say much, showing great understanding, and took the opportunity to make a request: [Chi, could I choose the menu tomorrow then? Consider it compensation for tonight.]
Chi Gui thought about it; compared to docking pay, this request was easy to fulfill, [Okay.]
Inside the medical supply store.
Fu Si’s slightly raised phoenix eyes gazed at the “Okay” sent by Chi Gui and he chuckled softly.
It seemed like… he was gradually getting the hang of interacting correctly with Chi…
Qin Cheng, holding two cups of tea, walked out from the backroom just to see Mr. Fu lying on a lounge chair, smiling radiantly at his phone.
He nearly dropped the tea.
Stabilizing his emotions, Qin Cheng set the tea down on the table next to the lounge chair, fell silent for a moment, and then spoke up, “Mr. Fu, the rally race opens tomorrow, are you going?”
