Gu Qingjiu felt quite disgusted being addressed as ‘Young Sister Qingjiu.’
Amidst the fog, a man walked out.
It was the same person who had fetched Gu Qingjiu when Gu Qingmo came to the barracks.
He was Gu Qingmo’s classmate.
He smiled and looked at Gu Qingjiu. After saying those words, he stepped forward to help Gu Qingjiu with the bags in her hands.
His friends behind him began to wolf-whistle and teased him about their interactions.
Without a word, Gu Qingjiu avoided him.
“It’s fine. I’m waiting for my roommate. I don’t want her to make a wasted trip.”
The man clearly heard her cold words.
Upon hearing those words, any other normal person would have been able to sense that they were rejected.
Perhaps the man felt embarrassed that his friends were right behind him. He persisted and said, “The rain isn’t that heavy now, and you don’t even know how long your roommate will take to come here. Let us help you.”
Gu Qingjiu finally looked at him. With an adequately gentle tone, she answered, “No, thank you.”
At least she still thanked him for his offer.
Having been rejected so directly, the man’s face turned sour.
His friends burst out laughing at him.
Surprisingly, he didn’t leave.
Instead, he walked over to Gu Qingjiu and a small frown appeared on her face.
The rain wasn’t heavy, but the fog was thick. It was as though the Heavens had enveloped everything in a thin veil. She couldn’t even make out his expressions that clearly.
“I have yet to tell you my name, right? I am your Older Brother’s classmate, Song Wei. You can call me Older Brother Song Wei.”
His words sounded as though he was hinting at something else.
Gu Qingjiu merely acknowledged him quietly. “Okay.”
It was clear that she was annoyed.
She had always been a straightforward person who didn’t conceal her feelings. Naturally, she wouldn’t want to give a half-hearted reply.
If this man were more tactful, she would have behaved in a more polite manner.
However, it was apparent that this man wasn’t.
Gu Qingjiu’s cold responses made this man feel rather awkward. Nevertheless, he continued to ramble incessantly.
His friends laughed even louder, too.
As he continued to speak, Gu Qingjiu didn’t say a word in response at all.
Song Wei’s expression was glum as he tried to lift the atmosphere of the conversation. “I am your Older Brother’s classmate. You don’t have to be so cold towards me.”
Gu Qingjiu raised her head and looked at him with indifference. Her eyes were filled with coldness.
Shortly after, Gu Qingjiu saw Yu Bao’er amidst the fog.
She lifted her hand and waved. “Bao’er!”
Upon seeing her, Yu Bao’er held a pink umbrella and ran over.
“Wow, the weather is so cold. If you didn’t call me, I would still be bundled up in my blanket.”
Yu Bao’er scurried over and shook the rain off her body. When she saw Song Wei there, she felt rather surprised.
However, she didn’t greet him either. Picking up Gu Qingjiu’s things, the two of them left.
Being completely disregarded, Song Wei’s expression grew glum.
After they had left, his friends came up to him and teased. “Song Wei, that was a horrible attempt! We thought you knew her, but she didn’t even acknowledge your presence!”
Song Wei shrugged off his friend’s hand on his shoulder and scoffed coldly, “Why is she even pretending to be so aloof?”
“If I heard those words, I wouldn’t talk to you either. If this is how you’re going to pick up girls, you should just stop. You’re too shameless and persistent. Right from the start, she didn’t want to talk to you. You shouldn’t have continued to force her.”
Not everyone was idiotic as Song Wei. Some of them still had common sense and knew better.
Having trained in the military for a long time, their mindsets also became more mature.
Seeing how dejected Song Wei looked, his friends left him with arms around each other’s shoulders.
