Chapter 344 - 294: Accidentally Became the Group's Favorite? !
They had always assumed that girls who succeeded academically would be average-looking, spectacled, and have a clear complexion, looking like total book nerds. But Gu Li completely shattered their notion, she was beyond beautiful.
The first to recover was Chen Xue.
She adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and smiled warmly, “Welcome, Gu. I’m Chen Xue.”
“My name’s Qiao Yin.”
Qiao Yin also quickly made her introduction.
This Gu Li seemed so adorable. She regretted gossiping about her behind her back.
“I’m the dormitory head here, my name is Mi Dong.”
Who doesn’t love a beauty?
Especially one who, at first glance, looked like a star, and a friendly and lovely girl was even more Mi Dong’s cup of tea.
Mi Dong was a novel enthusiast. She stated, since the first moment she saw Gu Li, her a face was given to every female protagonist she beloved.
The three of them were introducing themselves to her while quickly climbing down from the bed and earnestly walked to her.
Gu Li had originally been worried she would be excluded as a newcomer, but to her surprise, her three roommates were very enthusiastic.
However, she was only slightly stunned for a moment, then she said, “I’ve brought some afternoon tea for everyone, I hope you all like it.”
With that, she took a bag filled with food containers from Auntie Guan’s hand, inside were all snacks made by Auntie Guan herself.
“Wow, there’s afternoon tea, that’s great. Thank you, Gu Li.”
The most lively among the three, Chen Xue, quickly reached out to take it, her eyes smiling under her glasses.
At that moment, the dormitory head, Mi Dong, said to Gu Li, “All three of us have lived here since our first year. If you need any help, just say so.”
“Alright, thank you all in advance.”
Gu Li smiled and nodded.
“Who is this lady…?”
Seeing Auntie Guan standing by Gu Li’s side, Mi Dong politely asked.
“Oh, this is my aunt. You can all call her Auntie Guan. She was worried, so she came to accompany me to look around the school.”
Since she wanted to have a low-key life, Gu Li wouldn’t tell the outsiders Auntie Guan was the steward, so she just told a white lie.
However, in her heart, she indeed regarded Auntie Guan as a family member.
Auntie Guan chuckled lightly, kindly telling the girls, “From now on, our Little Pear will be under your care, thank you.”
“Don’t worry, Auntie Guan. We will get along well with Little Pear.”
Mi Dong went with the flow, calling Gu Li ‘Little Pear.’
“The snacks are really delicious, Qiao Yin, Dorm Head, you need to try.”
Chen Xue stuffed a piece of date cake into her mouth, holding a piece of osmanthus cake in one hand, not caring about her image at all.
Mi Dong and Qiao Yin looked at her distastefully but still couldn’t resist the temptation and walked over.
The three were quickly won over by the delicious food, learning that they were all made by Auntie Guan, they wholeheartedly praised it.
Seeing this, Auntie Guan smiled like a blooming flower.
Gu Li didn’t bring a lot with her, along with the help from everyone in the dormitory, it took less than half an hour to settle down everything.
Not wanting to disturb Gu Li and her roommates, Auntie Guan left after a short while.
As she was leaving, unnoticed by Gu Li, she quietly wiped the tears from her eyes.
She had looked after Mo Shiting for more than twenty years, considering him her own son, and similarly treated Gu Li as her own daughter.
Her feelings now were like sending her own daughter to college, both worried and reluctant to let go.
“By the way, Little Pear, I heard you were the top student in this year’s entrance exam. You’re so amazing.”
Chen Xue looked at Gu Li with a face full of admiration.
Gu Li lightly smiled, “You’re too kind, I was just lucky.”
“Oh, don’t be so modest. I don’t believe for a second that luck could get you the top spot.”
Chen Xue was lying on the bed, propping up her cheeks with both hands, asking her, “Little Pear, where did you study before this? Your scores are so good, why didn’t you apply for Imperial City University from the start? That way, we could have known you two years earlier.”
Her words attracted the attention of Qiao Yin and Mi Dong, who promptly shifted their attention towards her.
Gu Li, who was sitting on her bed against the wall playing with her phone, seeing everyone looking at her, could only say, “I was studying in A Nation before. I transferred here specially for my boyfriend.”
Hmm, she shouldn’t be considered a liar, right?
In fact, it was for Mo Shiting that she had abandoned everything in A Nation, come to this strange country, to experience another life.
Upon hearing the words ‘boyfriend’, everyone’s eyes lit up instantly, “You have a boyfriend? Is he from our school too?”
