The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter 8: Curiosity

Fang Ziyi looked at Gu Xijin affectionately before taking the meatballs with her chopsticks and stuffing them into her bowl, jokingly scolding her as she did, who got a sneer from Gu Xijin in return.

As a pleasant atmosphere emanated from one end of the dining table, Gu Xiqiao continued to eat his dinner at the other end of the table without reacting at all.

Everyone at the table has a polite table manners — Do not bend, do not eat food, back is perpendicular, but only the girl at the corner who does not have all this. She looked like she was stuck on the table as she propped up her chin with one hand, eating herself slowly with the other. He doesn't care about his image at all, but it seems like he should be like that, and he looks quite comfortable with his current position.

Xia Zijun could not help but glance at her.

He was one of the most accomplished young people in N City, and Gu Xiqiao remembered seeing a poster with his picture affixed to a bulletin board at school. As the first ranked student of all the high school students in N City, and with her background, she had been a myth by the students at the school she graduated from.

“Brother Zijun, is college fun?” Gu Xijin continued to talk to Xia Zijun, and although there were many rules in the upper society about not speaking during meals and sleep, the same rules did not apply to Gu Xijin. Who wouldn't be tolerant of an innocent and cute girl even when she broke some rules?

“It's better than high school, of course. Work hard to learn okay, Ah Jin? ” Xia Zijun smiled gently and excitedly.

“I will study well and try to get into the university where Brother Zijun is!” Gu Xijin smiled brightly and looked at the end of the table. “You will study for the exam with me right, little sister?”

With this question, the cheerful atmosphere on the dining table seemed to freeze in place. As Su Wan’er glared at the girl who was ruining this beautiful scene, the grudge in his gaze grew even more.

Gu Xiqiao felt many knife-like gazes, but it did not affect him in the slightest. He put down his fork and smiled, saying, “I saw a certain photo on Weibo the other day ..”

“Small sister!” Gu Xijin suddenly raised his voice, and after feeling the gaze turn on him again, he smiled. “Eat more ribs and stop spending all your time on the internet. Study well and read more books, and if you have any questions, you can ask me. Let's go to University B together! ”

Who wants to go with him? Can he get into that university with his very low IQ?

Gu Xiqiao lowered his head and did not reply, hiding his mocking gaze.

In his previous life, Gu Xijin could only enter B City, but his test scores were not enough to enter University B. He made it into the university after one of Gu Xiqiao's oil painting which he released on his behalf was seen by one of his university colleagues. Gu Xiqiao was quite curious about how he planned to enter the university that time with his help.

As Gu Xiqiao did not reply, the atmosphere around the dining table became increasingly cold.

Xia Zijun was the one who resolved this situation.

“This, eat chicken thigh.” Xia Zijun smiled and placed one drumstick on Gu Xijin's bowl and handed it to Gu Zuhui. “My grandfather told me that the higher ups are trying to build a national base in N City, did Uncle Gu hear rumors about that?”

The topic of the national base was a great opportunity to profit, and also a secret secret that even Gu Zuhui had no intel on. When he heard this, he was also very surprised and started talking to Xia Zijun, so the main topic at the dining table was changed easily.

Sensing a backward gaze, Gu Xiqiao slowly raised her head and looked at Xia Zijun.

He knew about Xia Zijun's glorious history, and even though he was quite impressed by her, he did not admire her. Xia Zijun was too perfect and was the dream lover of many young girls, but in his previous life, Gu Xiqiao did not even think of approaching him because he thought that they were not in the same league. In his current life, he did not want to get involved with this person in the slightest because it would be too troublesome.

Gu Xijin had been keeping an eye on Gu Xiqiao's reaction, and after seeing the younger one continue to eat without being affected by the previous incident, he was slightly irritated.

Gu Xijin was just a girl in her late teens, and even though she was raised in a wealthy family, she was, he couldn't help but show off his superiority at whatever opportunity he got when he looked at Gu Xiqiao who couldn't compete with him in any aspect. Xia Zijun was a princely character admired by many for his modesty and humility, and many people were jealous of him because he tended to look after him whenever he could.

This was also why he kept checking Gu Xiqiao's reaction while continuing to talk to her.

Seeing how Gu Xiqiao did not seem to care in the slightest, he felt like he was punching a bundle of cotton.

When he saw Gu Xiqiao's reaction, he couldn't help but think back to the day when his clothes were suddenly torn during the banquet. He felt that Gu Xiqiao was mocking him behind his back, but how dare he ?!

Gu Xijin gritted his teeth unnoticed as his grip on his chopsticks became even tighter.

In the entire dining table, Gu Xiqiao was probably the only one who had a convenient meal time.

Su Wan’er disliked him, and he also disliked Su Wan’er, so he thought it was best to go back to his room and study. After finishing her meal, she stood up and went to her room, but a soft voice called out from behind her. “Is your foot okay?”

Gu Xiqiao only frowned slightly, not paying attention to him.

“Hei wait.” Seeing that she was about to leave, Xia Zijun immediately grabbed onto her arm, her palm heating up as it touched her smooth and supple skin. “It looks like your knee is seriously injured, why didn't I give you some medicine? The kind that won't leave a scar, of course. “

His pale and handsome face was clearly dyed with a red hue, but his first thought was that girls, especially beautiful ones, would be worried about leaving scars.

The wound had already started to clot, but it was still bruised, and the greenish-red wound looked quite serious.

Gu Xiqiao was quite surprised because Xia Zijun was the first to realize that he was injured. In his previous life, he treated her neutrally — Not underestimating her, but also not taking care of her specifically. Why was he so worried about her this time?

“Thank you, but I have already applied medicine to it,” Gu Xiqiao replied without turning his head. Girls her age would probably talk to Xia Zijun shyly like Gu Xijin did, but her expression was extremely cold without any ripples in her clear gaze.

He let go of Xia Zijun's arm and started walking towards the stairs without the slightest hesitation.

They better not be involved in this life.

Brother Zijun! Gu Xijin walked up from the dining room and hugged Xia Zijun's arm as he looked at Gu Xiqiao's silhouette retreating warily. “What are you talking about with little sister?”

“Nothing, is she the little sister you were talking about?” Xia Zijun shook his head.

Gu Xijin lowered his gaze and flicked his eyelashes before looking at Xia Zijun with a look of despair. “Yes, but she doesn't seem to like me at all. I even gave her my precious teddy bear which is the first gift you gave me. He did not have a pleasant life before, and I wish he could be happy... Brother Zijun, am I not okay? ”

Xia Zijun listened quietly, before nodding and pressing his palm against his head gently. “No problem.”

Su Wan’er called them back to the dining room, so Gu Xijin immediately returned with Xia Zijun behind him.

Xia Zijun had never been treated so coldly by anyone in her life who didn't even want to talk to her, and as she walked, she couldn't help but look back at the skinny girl who left.

A furry and petite dog tried hard to carry her, and even though she let go, the dog would keep coming back to her. This flickering continued several times, and actually looked quite funny.

Xia Zijun knew that this dog was the stray dog that Gu Xijin picked up, but from the way he seemed to prefer Gu Xiqiao, there was something to think about.

Gu Xiqiao was so bothered by the dog that he reached out and raised it with his nape.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zijun could not help but laugh softly as her curiosity grew.
