Chapter 221: Confused
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“This is from an old shop in Fog City. 1 used to come to Fog City for business trips and often bought these pastries,” Tong Pei explained.
Guo Miao felt that Tong Pei had always treated her like a child, bringing her desserts every time.
“Try one,” Tong Pei said when he saw her staring blankly at the box.
For some reason, Guo Miao felt that something was not right. She had been reborn twice, so she was not sensitive to the feelings between men and women. However, she did understand it a little now.
Tong Pei seemed to like her a little.
“Why are you here?” “Why are we in Fog City?” asked Guo Miao.
“I have a meeting with the boy’s father on the 15th.” Tong Pei took out tissues and gloves from a box and handed them to Guo Miao.
…..
Guo Miao became even more confused. She didn’t know why, but she felt almost certain that Tong Pei’s feelings for her were not because of the previous kindness or because she had helped him.
The meeting on the 15th could have been held a week later, but it seemed a little strange to come now.
Seeing Guo Miao’s confusion, Tong Pei explained, “Tong Huan and the others haven’t had a holiday in a long time, so they’re here to take a break.”
Guo Miao nodded randomly. She was shocked by her guess. She had never encountered such things before.
Before she was reborn, she was already very happy to be able to survive in Haicheng. Later, during the Imperium, although she had many suitors, because of her cold personality and her years of dedication to research, no one could really steal her heart.
Would Tong Pei become the first?
Guo Miao was so preoccupied with these things that she didn’t notice the cream on the pastry stuck to the corner of her mouth.
Tong Pei stretched out his hand and used a tissue to wipe away the faint white cream.
Guo Miao felt like her heart was in a mess.
If her thoughts were true, should she accept Tong Pei?
The moment Tong Pei touched her, she almost jumped up in surprise, but she recovered very quickly.
Now was not the time to think about these things. There were more important things to do.
“Thank you for helping me out today,” Guo Miao said.
“This is nothing,” Tong Pei said with a smile.
The Tong family collaborated with Lawrence’s family. Lawrence’s father, Mr. Lun, had neglected to discipline his children because of his work, which was why Lawrence had become so rebellious.
Tong Pei had helped Mr. Laurent discipline Lawrence before.
Guo Miao nodded. She didn’t know why, but the place where Tong Pei had touched her just now felt a little hot.
She pinched her arm, trying to get these strange thoughts out of her mind.
“I’ll be in Fog City during this period of time. If you need my help with anything, you can look for me,” Tong Pei said.
Tong Pei sent Guo Miao back to the dormitory.
At this moment, King’s University was completely silent. There were only a few dim lights in the dormitory. Guo Miao shuttled through the corridor. For some reason, a strange sound came from afar.
She stopped in her tracks, and the sound became clearer. It seemed to be coming from the end of the corridor. It seemed to be the muffled sounds of someone suddenly being covered with a blanket and then being punched.
Guo Miao lightened her footsteps and walked toward the room at the end of the corridor.
The closer she got, the clearer she could hear. There were also soft curses.
“Don’t think that just because you won a few places this year that you can show off in front of us.”
“Yeah, your family is so rich. Who knows if you bought the questions in advance?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Why are you still looking for a teacher from China? Why are you pretending?”
They were speaking in the language of Country K.
Guo Miao widened her eyes and looked at the room where the sound came from.
“Enya, you mustn’t tell your teacher when you get back. Do you think everyone knows that you’re an idiot who only knows how to complain? Someone like you who doesn’t know what’s good for you should be more respectful to seniors!”
Upon hearing her name, Guo Miao walked to the door and tried to turn the doorknob.
As expected, she couldn’t turn the doorknob. Most of these doors could be locked from the outside.
Such bullying was common in elementary and middle schools in Country K. Guo Miao did not expect it to happen here either.
Guo Miao took a hair clip from her head and inserted it into the door handle.
“D*mn it, are there thieves in King’s University?” the leading girl cursed..
