I Heard That I am a HeartBreaker - Chapter 22.3

After all, homosexuality is a very private matter, only circulating in small circles. People in one grade might only know who the famous and numerous people in that grade are, but once they cross grade levels or even majors, they would have no idea.

“Junior, I heard your ex-girlfriend went abroad.”

Qiu Shuang, who was organizing the files, paused her hand movements upon hearing this. She didn’t intend to open up to strangers, nor did she intend to answer the question.

“Oh, Junior, you don’t have to be nervous. Actually, we are all the same kind of people, aren’t we?”

Hearing Gu Lingxi say this, Qiu Shuang turned back to look at the other person. Her delicate face and amber eyes in the sunlight looked uniquely beautiful, but she sighed.

“No dalliance with palace staff.” (A Chinese phrase meaning ‘no intimate relationships in the workplace/among colleagues’).

“Oh, is that so? I really can’t see that Senior and I are the same kind of people.”

Qiu Shuang skillfully pushed the question back, adopting a non-committal stance. She wouldn’t rashly admit or expose herself.

Seeing the other party push the conversation back was entirely within Gu Lingxi’s acceptable range. She smiled, then continued to organize.

Qiu Shuang stepped onto the ladder to climb up and organize the files on the higher shelves. Gu Lingxi looked at her, and after estimating the other party’s weight and angle, she casually and seemingly unintentionally touched her. Sure enough, Qiu Shuang’s body, which was reaching up, trembled, and then she fell backward.

Gu Lingxi had also calculated the angle precisely and caught the other party in her arms.

Feeling the warm body and the familiar scent in her hands, this very familiar scent came from a certain master’s perfume series; the price was not cheap at all.

Looking at Qiu Shuang’s typical simple and inexpensive outfit, Gu Lingxi couldn’t help but sigh that she didn’t expect the other party to be so deeply disguised.

At this moment, Qiu Shuang had no idea that the sachet Song Ya had given her had such a terrifying “power.”

Looking at the other party’s face, figure, ability, and potential family background, Gu Lingxi decided: she absolutely had to pursue her. After all, this was a rare and excellent resource.

Qiu Shuang didn’t know she had been targeted. She was a little embarrassed, but deep down, she was still replaying the scene. She really didn’t expect herself to be so clumsy, almost falling down.

Fortunately, the Senior caught her; otherwise, hitting her head on the back would mean:

《Student at Certain University Organising Files, Unfortunately Falls to Her Death》

Qiu Shuang had no interest in making the front page of the news.

“Thank you, Senior, but you can put me down now.”

After hearing this, Gu Lingxi reluctantly released her hands. She looked at the other party and felt that her method was excellent, but how to pursue the other party was truly a troublesome matter.

Gu Lingxi didn’t want to use those petty tricks, but she couldn’t help it. Sometimes, to get something, you have to overtake on the curve.

As for whether the other party would find out, wouldn’t it be fine as long as she was careful?

Qi Sijiao had prepared everything and set a time to go to the nursing home. Sigh, if she casually did volunteer work there and was coincidentally seen by the Senior, her favorability would definitely soar.

Saying this, Qi Sijiao truly felt like a genius. So, she began to dedicate herself to helping with the work. However, until noon, she couldn’t find the Senior.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Qi Sijiao found the school’s volunteer team. After asking, she learned that the Senior had been detained by that dead club president.

“That vicious tramp, just wait until I deal with you!”

Thinking that everything she had painstakingly done was ruined by the other party, Qi Sijiao angrily rushed back to school. Upon returning to the dorm, she saw the Senior lying weakly on the bed.

Damn that old woman, what did she do to Senior? Why is she so tired! Did she also drug Senior!

Qiu Shuang felt so tired. Helping to organize files all day was exhausting—both mentally and physically. Seeing Qi Sijiao return, she vaguely nodded as a greeting, then turned over and continued to sleep.

“Senior, I heard you didn’t go to the event today. What happened? Can you still get the credits?”

Qiu Shuang currently didn’t want to think about how the other party knew about this. She was truly tired right now.

So, with a few simple sentences, she explained the whole story to the other party to stop her relentless chatter.

After hearing Qiu Shuang’s account, Qi Sijiao clenched her fists. Sure enough, the other party was truly cunning. What “work”? In her opinion, she just wanted to find an excuse to be alone with the Senior!

“Sigh, you scared me. I almost fell off the stool today. Fortunately, the president caught me, or else I would have cracked my head open and ended up on the social news.”

“What!”

Hearing Qiu Shuang say this, Qi Sijiao instantly became nervous. She pulled Qiu Shuang up and checked her arms, legs, and body for any injuries.

Finally, she saw a trace of a bluish-purple finger mark on the inside of her arm.

“Oh my god, that club is truly too dangerous! Senior, look, your arm is all bruised! What exactly happened!”

Qiu Shuang began to recall the details of the time, then her smile faded.

“Hmm, yes, this club is indeed fraught with danger…”

She had fallen down, the other party caught her, and in the process of pulling, it was inevitable that her arm was strained. It was very reasonable, right… Gu Lingxi? She made a mental note.

“It’s nothing major. I’ll be careful next time. It’ll get better after a while.”

Qi Sijiao stared intently at the pushed-up clothing, exposing that segment of white skin. A bruise on the otherwise snow-white skin was particularly noticeable.

Qi Sijiao lowered her eyes. Fortunately, fortunately. Right now, Senior only treats the president as a stranger and definitely has no romantic feelings. That’s all that matters.

As for how to win the Senior’s heart, that was within her realm of consideration.

Short-haired tramp, go die!

After returning to the dorm, Xin Zhu slammed the bottle of mineral water into the trash can.

The roommate next to her was startled. Xin Zhu turned and smiled, saying it was nothing, then seriously looked at the photo of Qiu Shuang.

“Gu Lingxi, Qi Sijiao… why does everyone have to compete with me?”

Xin Zhu truly didn’t expect that this so-called newly appointed president also had such intentions. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was already a junior, leaving next year, yet still shamelessly coming to seduce the Senior and try to start a relationship.

Truly utterly despicable. That brightly colored feather duster is also a tramp!

She saw the other party inexplicably coming to the nursing home to do volunteer work. Wasn’t it just to attract the Senior’s attention? Every single one of them is a tramp.

Xin Zhu picked up her phone, took a breath, and then sent a voice message to Qiu Shuang, using the gentlest possible tone.

“Senior, I didn’t see you today. Didn’t you sign up?”

Xin Zhu naturally knew the other party had signed up. She only signed up because the other party did. Who would have thought that a Gu Lingxi would show up and intercept the person? Since she was the president, there was no way to stop it.

Qiu Shuang, lying on the bed after applying ointment, saw Xin Zhu’s voice message. She didn’t have much guard up; she just clicked on the voice, and the girl’s sweet, clear voice echoed throughout the dorm.

Qiu Shuang didn’t think much of it, only remarking that the Junior’s voice was quite pleasant.

Qi Sijiao rolled her eyes. Pleasant? What’s so pleasant? The dead voice crack.

“I went to help the club president with some documents.”

Qiu Shuang didn’t directly state that she had signed up but also didn’t go because of the president, as she didn’t want any further accidents.

Seeing the other party replied, Xin Zhu began to ponder. Did the Senior truly have some feelings for that president?

Otherwise, why would she deliberately conceal it and still go to the archive room?

Xin Zhu tightly furrowed her brows. One was the daughter of an ordinary person, and the other was somewhat of a “superior.” Thinking about it, the president had more time and opportunity to interact with the Senior than her. So what should she do? She was just a little Junior.

Xin Zhu rolled her eyes and thought of another method.

The “pity play” (or self-harm for sympathy).

Qiu Shuang looked at the chat window on her phone. The other party briefly said a few words and then stopped, showing restraint.

This actually made Qiu Shuang more uncomfortable because she didn’t know how to gracefully reject the other party, yet the other party repeatedly stated that her pursuit was her own business and unrelated to Qiu Shuang.

Thinking of this, she sighed. If someone had told her before, she would never have expected her university life to be so dramatic.

“Senior, why are you sighing?”

Qi Sijiao, hearing the other person address her as Senior constantly, was completely fed up. She wasn’t unfamiliar with this Xin Zhu. They were in the same faculty, and their main classes were together. She heard the other party went to the same high school as her, but she had never paid attention.

In fact, there is always competition between people. In Qi Sijiao’s view, even though the other party dressed herself up like a harmless animal,

She was clearly the same type as her, and there was obviously competition between them.

During regular classes, Qi Sijiao was already used to rejecting the advances of those strange girls. She was very adherent to “feminine virtue”; right now, her heart only belonged to the Senior. So, she had to completely reject everyone else.

Qi Sijiao began to recall the past. She finally remembered this woman—the woman who hid in the corner and looked at her with strange eyes!

So, why is she bothering the Senior now?

Is it to steal the person she likes, or to prove her own charm?

Thinking of this, Qi Sijiao raised an eyebrow.

For someone so despicable, she had originally planned to wait until the other party was about to succeed before breaking it all. Now?

She wouldn’t give the other party any chance to recover.

Xin Zhu, just wait to die.

Soon, night fell, and everyone sank into sleep.

Qi Sijiao used her old trick. She quietly lay down beside Qiu Shuang’s bed.

She wanted to do many naughty things, but she couldn’t.

Qi Sijiao sighed and finally quietly snuggled closer, holding the other person tightly.

Qiu Shuang, in her sleep, felt something pressing on her. She impatiently pushed it away, and finally ended up lying in the other person’s arms in a very uncomfortable posture.

Qi Sijiao lowered her head. From her angle, it was truly a vast expanse. Qiu Shuang’s neckline wasn’t small. She truly wanted to put her hand inside, but she couldn’t…

If the Senior found out, she would definitely be angry.

But the Senior seemed to be asleep now…

Qiu Shuang woke up the next morning feeling uncomfortable all over for some reason. She frowned and tentatively stretched her arms and legs, instantly feeling soreness.

She looked down at her neck, feeling puzzled. Why would a mosquito bite her neck? It never did before.

And why was it so swollen?

Qiu Shuang touched it a couple of times and found no itchy spots. Could it be an allergic reaction?

She dabbed a little anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling ointment on it, then got dressed.

Qiu Shuang thought as she dressed. She pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out this strange phenomenon; it didn’t fit the criteria for various allergies.

Moreover, the Junior’s reaction this morning was a bit strange. The other person was lying on the bed, giggling foolishly for some reason.

Thinking of this, Qiu Shuang’s frown deepened completely. It had better not be what she suspected. The other party had better pray that she found out what she was allergic to or that it was a small bug bite.

Otherwise, she would have to go back where she came from.

After class, Qiu Shuang went downstairs and ran into Chen Wanjun again.

During class, the other party sat right behind her. Qiu Shuang tried her best to ignore the other party’s burning gaze, focusing only on studying and aiming for a scholarship.

Then, as they were going down the stairs, Qiu Shuang felt the other party pause slightly, then grabbed her arm. Qiu Shuang looked up at the other party, but found the other party’s expression was off.

“What exactly do you want!”
