The young lady at the side watched her leave and said, "Don't tell me that's Gu Jingyu? People always say that they're together."
Xin Xiaoyuan laughed, "Forget it. With Gu Jingyu's status, would he find a small fry? Have you ever thought of why Gu Jingyu never had a single rumor over the years? You may think that it's because he doesn't want any, but everyone says that it's because he's a Gu. Do you know what kind of family the Gu family is? He needs to have someone with proper upbringing and whatnot instead of her. Take these rumors with a pinch of salt. Judging by her standards, she would be lucky if she found a rich guy to settle down with after becoming famous."
Xin Xiaoyuan refused to believe that she and Gu Jingyu had anything going on. It was just awkward for them. However, she was really curious about why Lin Che ran out as soon as she received some call.
Outside, Lin Che held her phone and listened to Gu Jingze's question, "Was it smooth today?"
"Yes, it was fine. What are you doing?" Lin Che asked as she leaned against the wall.
"I'm working."
'Ah, at this time? "Yeah, I'm waiting for an overseas video conference." She could tell that he must have been in his office. It sounded empty on his side and his voice echoed.
Lin Che could picture him sitting in his office, one hand holding his phone while the other typed away on the keyboard. He looked focused and his eyes were relaxed.
She saw that image countless times but when she imagined it so clearly across the telephone line, she thought that he was very handsome.
Lin Che asked to the phone, "Aren't you very busy then? Don't call me anymore. Go do your work. Sleep earlier and don't work when it gets really late."
Gu Jingze replied, "It's no problem. I won't be busy for a while. How was it today? Was it tiring?"
"I'm alright."
"Is the reality show fun?"
"Yeah, it's quite interesting. The school looks great too." Actually, it was rather tiring.
As she spoke, she coughed and her throat felt itchy. It was rather windy along the corridor, so she must have been affected by the wind.
He immediately heard the cough, "Why are you coughing?"
"It's nothing. I'm in the corridor so it might be the wind. I'm going in then."
"Alright, go ahead." "Okay, you sleep earlier too," Lin Che repeated. "Don't stay up too late."
"Just take care of yourself. You don't know anything outside."
"I'm not a silly little kid. Of course, I know how to take care of myself. Alright, I'm hanging up."
Lin Che immediately hung up. She held her phone and coughed again. She went to prepare some water to soothe her throat. She had been yelling the entire day and her throat was extremely uncomfortable.
At night, Xin Xiaoyuan tossed and turned in her bed, continuously complaining that the bed was too hard and that the dormitory smelled. She complained to her assistant over the phone. She had a villa, a Simmons bed, and everything she needed at home. Why was she here suffering?
Lin Che thought that she caught a cold. She quickly called Sister Yu who quickly let Yang Lingxin with some cold medicine over so it would not affect the filming.
Yang Lingxin quickly reached and gave Lin Che the medicine along the corridor. But before Lin Che took the medicine, her phone rang once again.
When she picked up her phone and saw the screen, her eyes lit up.
It was Gu Jingze again.
She quickly answered the call. "Gu Jingze, you haven't slept?"
"Come out."
"What?"
"I'm letting you come out of your dormitory. Or do you want me to go up?"
"Ah, you're here?"
Lin Che didn't expect him to come. She hurriedly said, "Okay, I'm coming out now. But why are you here?"
Gu Jingze only plainly said, "Just come out. Hurry up, you're so slow."
Lin Che hastily agreed and hung up.
Beside her, Yang Lingxin looked at Lin Che in surprise, "Sister Che, who was it on the phone?"
