Su Rui finished her last lesson for today. It was already 5 pm.

Initially, as she recalled about what Gu Yu Cheng said yesterday that he would come later, Su Rui thought that he would come after 8 pm, and she planned to go to the library for a stroll.

But unexpectedly, just after Su Rui finished class, she received a message from Gu Yu Cheng.

[Gu Yu Cheng]: Have your classes ended?

[Su Xiao Rui]: En, just now.

[Gu Yu Cheng]: Where is the teaching building? I will come to you.

Looking at the messages from Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui was stunned.

This is called ‘late’?

Why does she feel that her understanding of it is different from Gu Yu Cheng?

In terms of the concept of time.

Su Rui grumbled, but she quickly replied to Gu Yu Cheng’s message.

[Su Xiao Rui]: Did you drive? Let’s meet at the school history museum.

In this period, everyone went to snatch for food, and there would probably be fewer people in the school’s history museum.

And it was close to her now.

Soon, Gu Yu Cheng replied with the word “ok”.

At the gate of the University history museum, Su Rui noticed Gu Yu Cheng’s car instantly.

Gu Yu Cheng’s lips curved into a smile unconsciously when he saw the girl trotting towards him.

“Very pretty.”

“Hm?” Su Rui was in a hurry. She didn’t hear what Gu Yu Cheng said.

“Uh, nothing.”

“Get in the car?”

“Ok.”

Gu Yu Cheng drove Su Rui back to the dormitory.

Su Rui was surprised when she saw Gu Yu Cheng opening the trunk.

She knew that there would be many books, but she didn’t expect that Gu Yu Cheng would find a suitcase to pack them.

Couldn’t tell that this man is very attentive?

He helped Su Rui to take the suitcase off the car. Gu Yu Cheng explained briefly that these were all those books.

Su Rui nodded continuously after she heard this.

“Su Rui.”

“Is there anything else?”

“Cough, in addition to the book, I have also found three documents of the Gu group’s project this year. You can have a look at them.”

After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “It’s mainly about the production of several projects, which involved the mid-term and post-processing of projects and changes in the market values. You can use it to do case analysis.”

“Also…”

“Gu Yu Cheng?”

“Yes?” Gu Yu Cheng was taken aback and looked at Su Rui.

“Have you had dinner?” Su Rui blinked at Gu Yu Cheng and asked.

Even though she did not have a deep understanding of Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui doesn’t think that Gu Yu Cheng would be the type of person who can explain such a complicated problem to a person.

No, it wasn’t complicated. To be precise, it should be wordy.

Sure enough, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes moved slightly when he heard Su Rui’s words.

“No.”

“Then wait for me here. I’ll be right back!” Su Rui smiled at Gu Yu Cheng.

“Alright.”

“Very quick. Five, uh, ten minutes at most.” Su Rui said and walked briskly into the dormitory with the suitcase.

Originally, she wanted to inform her only roommate, but when Su Rui went back, she didn’t know where Liu Ling went.

She placed the suitcase of books down.

She went to the washroom, took a glimpse of herself, and there was no problem with the makeup on her face. Thinking about it, she put on lipstick, quickly tidied herself up, and headed downstairs.

They didn’t go too far and found a restaurant with good reviews outside University B.

…..

When Gu Yu Cheng sent Su Rui to the dormitory downstairs, it was almost 9 pm.

In the dormitory, Liu Ling was also there.

Liu Ling turned her head with a green mung mask on when she saw Su Rui return.

“You went to the library to self-study?” Liu Ling asked.

“No.” Su Rui said with a casual expression.

Just went to have a meal.

It was just that this meal seemed to be eaten for quite some time.

“Tch, I thought you went to the library to cram.” Liu Ling turned her eyes back at the booklet and said.

To cram?

“What do you mean by cramming?” Su Rui asked blankly.

In her heart, she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, she heard Liu Ling’s next sentence was, “Tomorrow’s Microeconomics test ah.”

“The class monitor sent a message in the group two weeks ago, didn’t you see it?” Liu Ling looked at Su Rui in surprise and suddenly thought of something, “Oh I forgot, you didn’t join the group at that time.”

“Then what are you going to do?” Liu Ling stared at Su Rui and continued, “this would constitute 30% of the total score…”

Su Rui: Ha Ha.

Should she give up struggling, or should she give up struggling?

“Like what you said, I’m going to cram.” Su Rui said faintly.

“Oh, by the way, I printed the key points. Hold on, let me highlight and lend it to you.”

“Is it reliable?” Su Rui asked uneasily.

In university, there was often a kind of teacher who can always avoid all examination points entirely.

“Don’t worry. Mr Chen is dependable. Take a look at this key point and make sure you pass.” With that, Liu Ling directly threw the key points in her hand to Su Rui.

“Pa——”

As she saw the 30-page booklet on key points in front of her, Su Rui didn’t feel like talking anymore.

Forget it. Forget it. She should read as much as she can.

Do you think that 19 points and 59 points are the same?

That’s a big mistake.

Nineteen points, basically means you are sentenced to death.

Fifty-nine points, the teacher may be kind enough to give you a passing mark.

…..

During the night, when Gu Yu Cheng received a WeChat message from Su Rui, it was already 12 o’clock.

[Su Xiao Rui]: Have you slept?

Su Rui wasn’t very hopeful when she sent this message.

However, Gu Yu Cheng replied within seconds.

[Gu Yu Cheng]: No, what’s wrong?

[Su Xiao Rui]: /picture

She couldn’t help it. There were several questions she really couldn’t understand even if she turned bald, so she can only seek external help.

Regarding this, Su Rui didn’t dare to ask her father.

First of all, Father Su may not be so sure about this area of expertise.

Moreover, even if she sends a message at this time, Comrade Su’s reply would be, “Why are you still reading this when it is this late. If you fail, then you fail, our family don’t require you to have high marks.”

Once Su Rui sent the photo before she could explain the reason, Gu Yu Cheng had already called her.

“You don’t understand?”

“Yes”

Hearing Su Rui’s response, Gu Yu Cheng didn’t waste his breath and immediately started explaining to Su Rui from the first question.

Gu Yu Cheng’s voice was a little low, with a little tinge of gruffness. The speed he spoke in wasn’t that fast, it was very calm. So calm that it practically had no modulation.

Listening to Gu Yu Cheng’s explanation, Su Rui was able to listen attentively in the beginning but in the end…

“Can you understand the mentioned?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“I understand.”

“Then I will continue.”

“That…”

“Yes?”

“Are you sleepy?”

“I’m not.”

I’m sleepy…

She didn’t know whether it was because she went to bed too early last night or that she wasn’t used to it or Gu Yu Cheng’s voice was too hypnotic.

All in all, Su Rui now felt that she was so sleepy that her consciousness was fading away.

“You can continue,” Su Rui said as she looked at the one-fifth of the content. She thought about it and then said, “Once you have finished explaining, just hang up.”

After that, Su Rui turned on the phone recording and put the phone on her ear again.

After a while, she managed to hear parts of what Gu Yu Cheng was saying, but she couldn’t remember when she fell asleep.

Ten minutes later, Gu Yu Cheng finished explaining.

“Su Rui?” No sound was heard. Gu Yu Cheng called her name again, but it was still silent.

Holding the mobile phone, Gu Yu Cheng paused for half a minute before he spoke again.

“Good night.”
