"Mm." Gu Zhiqi replied.
Su Yunling on the other end seed slightly helpless.
He had forgotten that this young girl has always been a woman of few words.
Since Gu Zhiqi wasn’t speaking, Su Yunling could only continue the conversation himself, "Today, Luo Wu got beaten up at Shadow Pavilion. Was it you?"
Gu Zhiqi heard this, paused for about three seconds, then lazily said, "What, do you want to arrest ?"
Su Yunling chuckled softly and said, "That won’t happen."
His tone carried indulgence and affection.
That emotion was too obvious; Gu Zhiqi couldn’t help but notice it.
She lightly raised an eyebrow, secretly thinking that he truly treated her like a younger sister from the bottom of his heart.
Back on Aquamarine Star, Gu Zhiqi didn’t have any close male friends beside her. The only close males were her master, her uncles, and her senior brothers.
Her master loved her, and her uncles doted on her too, but they all treated her as a younger generation to be pampered.
Her interactions with Su Yunling were sowhat similar to her interactions with her senior brothers.
Unaware of Gu Zhiqi’s thoughts, Su Yunling, seeing the silence on Gu Zhiqi’s end, asked by himself, "Sothing interesting happened at Shadow Pavilion today. Want to hear about it?"
Gu Zhiqi: "What?"
"Yesterday, the surveillance footage at Shadow Pavilion was deleted. The deleted segnt happens to be the one where Luo Wu got beaten." Su Yunling leisurely said on the other end.
Gu Zhiqi: "...Oh."
"And, oddly enough, not just that segnt, but the footage of you entering Shadow Pavilion is gone too."
Gu Zhiqi: "..."
Careless, should’ve deleted more.
"Chubby Chiu deleted it." Gu Zhiqi paused for a few seconds and finally pinned the bla on Chubby Chiu.
After all, Su Yunling knew she was acquainted with Chubby Chiu.
Su Yunling, after hearing this, pondered for a few seconds.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Gu Zhiqi’s words, since the tech departnt’s research also concluded that the one who deleted the footage was Chubby Chiu. However, his silence was due to the relationship between Chubby Chiu and Gu Zhiqi.
"Are you and Chubby Chiu very close?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Sort of."
Having heard this, Su Yunling fell silent again, a dark hue appearing in his deep eyes.
He hadn’t forgotten that he had seen Chubby Chiu pinned at the top of her contact list last ti.
Her contact list was long, but only Chubby Chiu was pinned at the top.
This ti, Su Yunling was silent for a long ti.
In the call with Su Yunling, Gu Zhiqi was really disinclined to do anything else. Seeing that Su Yunling hadn’t spoken for a while, she couldn’t just set him aside and imrse herself in nding her ntal thod.
Thus, Gu Zhiqi spoke up and asked, "Brother?"
"Mm." Su Yunling was brought back to his senses by Gu Zhiqi, then glanced at the ti and said to Gu Zhiqi, "It’s getting late; get so rest early."
Gu Zhiqi had just woken up, so she didn’t really need rest, but she guessed Su Yunling probably needed it, so she said, "Goodbye."
Su Yunling: "Sleep early, good night."
After hanging up, Gu Zhiqi opened her laptop and began to nd her ntal thod.
**
The next day, Gu Zhiqi left exactly on ti.
She hadn’t planned to bother Yun Miao and intended to catch a ride to the airport herself. But as soon as she opened her room door, she found Yun Miao standing outside.
"Miss Gu, you’re awake?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly at Yun Miao.
Yun Miao: "Sir said you’re heading to the airport and asked to take you there."
With Yun Miao saying so, and a free ride on offer, Gu Zhiqi naturally wouldn’t refuse, "Thanks a lot."
"Miss Gu, you’re too kind." Yun Miao said, scratching his head as he followed beside Gu Zhiqi.
