Chapter 160: 160 Loyalty (Thanks for the tips! Seeking monthly votes!)

Apart from Zheng Jingjing’s whimsical ideas, as good girlfriends, Xu Siyi and Guo Ran naturally prepared gifts for Li Shuru as well.

The former gave a pair of earrings, while the latter gave some cosmetics, none of which were very expensive, but they were all tokens of affection.

In fact, Li Shuru did not want her birthday to be too ostentatious this time, but reality always had its own plans.

The helicopter had flown away, without taking a single cloud, but it was like pouring a bucket of water into a hot oil pan, and the entire East Sea University was already in an uproar.

Many people muttered that romance had nothing to do with wealth, but would it have had the same effect if someone had simply held up a banner?

They would probably have drawn ridicule and been called clowns.

"If someone could do this for me just once, I’d have no regrets in my whole life."

"And you’re starting to daydream in broad daylight?"

"It’s simply disgraceful! The school is a sanctuary for studying, not a place to show off wealth!"

By the time they got to the cafeteria, nearly all the students buying food were discussing the helicopter incident, with women envious and men indignant.

The girls ate quickly and left swiftly.

Zheng Jingjing was preoccupied with her title certificate from across the sea, going off campus alone to pick up her parcel.

At this time, Guo Ran had no mood to accompany her.

"Shu Rui, why don’t you give a call and find out if it’s really him?"

Back in the dormitory, Guo Ran hurriedly suggested.

Although it wasn’t her own business, her innate curiosity couldn’t be suppressed.

The "him" Guo Ran referred to was, of course, none other than Sun Xiyu, the Crown Prince of the prosperous Richli Group, owning assets worth tens of billions.

Though they had met many wealthy young men, the one with the capability to do this, and reason to do so, would likely only be that Sun Xiyu.

"Why should I ask?"

Li Shuru counter-asked.

Guo Ran was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Shu Rui, aren’t you curious at all?"

"Whether it’s him or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Li Shuru’s expression was calm, undisturbed, not a ripple stirred in her heart by the dreamlike scenario that would have overwhelmed any other girl.

Guo Ran was at a loss for words, unable to deny that the other party wasn’t just pretending to be indifferent.

It seemed Shu Rui really had no feelings for Sun Xiyu anymore.

They had once been such a promising couple.

"Sun Xiyu was not known to be so ostentatious before, Shu Rui, it seems he has really changed a lot for you."

Xu Siyi commented on the situation.

Indeed.

Sun Xiyu might be wealthy, but his previous actions were always relatively low-key and modest, not fitting the usual image of the rich second generation, yet this time his actions were quite out of character.

"Could it really not be him?"

Guo Ran had started to waver.

Xu Siyi shook her head with a smile.

"Alright, what’s there to guess? I’ll just call and ask, then we’ll know for sure," she said.

Li Shuru looked at her.

Immediately, Xu Siyi said, "Shu Rui, don’t worry, it’s me asking, it has nothing to do with you."

In the end, this was her own private matter, and Li Shuru didn’t want others involved, even her good girlfriends, but since Xu Siyi had already picked up her phone, it seemed out of place for her to forcibly stop her.

"Sun Xiyu, that’s a big move. What, do you want our school to hit the hot news?"

After the phone was connected, Xu Siyi started with a charming laugh and deliberately put the call on speaker.

"What’s up?"

Sun Xiyu’s slightly puzzled voice came through the speaker, seemingly unaware of the situation.

Could it really be a misunderstanding?

Guo Ran was skeptical.

"Still pretending, huh?"

Xu Siyi said sweetly, "Just now a helicopter flew over our school for a long time with a banner saying happy birthday, don’t tell me you weren’t behind it."

"Happy birthday? Whose birthday is it today?"

"Alright, if it wasn’t you, then I’m hanging up."

Despite saying so, Xu Siyi still held the phone without any intention of hanging up, a confident smile on her face.

"Can’t you just let a person keep a bit of mystery?"

As expected. A bitter laugh came from the other end of the line, exuding a sense of resignation at being found out.

"Sun Xiyu, you really know how to make an entrance. Do you know, I was dumbfounded at the time? I thought we were shooting a movie. Why didn’t you give us a heads-up? It would’ve been nice to be mentally prepared."

"I just wanted to give Shu Rui a surprise."

"Surprise? It was more like a fright."

Xu Siyi glanced at Li Shuru and said, "Sun Xiyu, I must remind you, Shu Rui is angry."

"Angry? Why?"

"You tell me?"

Xu Siyi deliberately said, "That helicopter of yours flew around for so long, the whole school saw it. Aren’t you putting Shu Rui on the hot seat?"

"But I didn’t write any names on it."

"You didn’t write names, but do you think everyone is a fool? Couldn’t anyone guess? It’s Shu Rui’s birthday today, a lot of people know, it’s hardly a secret. You’d better come and apologize to Shu Rui quickly!"

Guo Ran couldn’t help but secretly give Xu Siyi a thumbs up.

Although Sun Xiyu was easygoing, after all, his status was there, not everyone dared to speak to him this way.

Siyi really had a strong sense of loyalty!

"I’ve warned you!"

Without waiting for Sun Xiyu’s reply on the other end, Xu Siyi hung up the phone with quite an air of authority.

"I told you, it had to be him."

"But how on earth did Sun Xiyu know it was Shu Rui’s birthday today?"

Guo Ran frowned, suddenly feeling that something was amiss.

"Shu Rui and he used to be on good terms, is it so strange that he knows Shu Rui’s birthday?"

Xu Siyi was unimpressed.

Guo Ran shook his head, "No, what I mean is, how does he remember? He hasn’t been in touch with Shu Rui for so long, yet he remembers her birthday so clearly, is that possible?"

Indeed.

Knowing and remembering are two different things.

Most people know their parents’ birthdays, but how many actually "remember"?

"Maybe he just has a good memory?"

Xu Siyi said nonchalantly, "Or maybe it proves that he really does care about Shu Rui."

Guo Ran nodded in agreement, letting out a sigh.

"Yeah, he even brought out a helicopter."

Initially, when Sun Xiyu suddenly appeared a few days ago, Shu Rui said he was just passing by and they didn’t think too much of it, but now it was different.

"Shu Rui, is Sun Xiyu really going to pursue you again?"

"That’s his business."

Li Shuru replied coolly, almost indifferently, "There is no possibility between him and me."

"But if he really does try to pursue you again, it will be troublesome."

Guo Ran muttered.

A sycophantic dog pestering you is no big deal, just ignore it, but when a wealthy young master doesn’t let up, that’s a different story.

After all, sometimes, it’s not possible to refuse just because you want to.

It’s just like what just happened.

They don’t care whether you like it or not, whether you agree or not.

Of course.

Many girls would fall for this kind of dominance.

Regrettably, Li Shuru wasn’t the kind of girl without opinions of her own.

Xu Siyi observed her reaction and, far from being disappointed, was even more expectant.

The more indifferent Li Shuru was towards Sun Xiyu, the more it highlighted the weight Jiang Chen held.
