Ji Chi covered his heart and said, “Third Master, how would 1 dare to rebel? Don’t scare me, I’m very timid.”

Li Jiang was about to vomit. He didn’t know why Third Master valued Ji Chi so much. He was flashy and enchanting, with ruthless methods and a disregard for rules. This… was definitely an antisocial personality.

Speaking of Gu Ziyu, Li Jiang remembered something. “Ji Chi, have you taken Young Master sea fishing?”

“Fishing?” Ji Chi frowned. “I haven’t even touched that thing.”

Lu Zhiyuan and Li Jiang were speechless.

The two of them looked at him together.

Ji Chi asked cautiously, “Did I say something wrong? Why would I know how to fish?”

“You don’t know how to fish?” Li Jiang blurted out.

Ji Chi smiled in a charming and enchanting manner. “I’ve been struggling to survive since I was young. Even though I earned some money later on, I was always worried about getting shot while walking on the street. How could I have the mood to go fishing?”

Lu Zhiyuan and Li Jiang’s expressions were both subtle.

Ji Chi said seriously, “Of course, if Third Master thinks I can do it, I can learn within a day.”

Back then, when Lu Zhiyuan asked Ji Chi if he could drive, Ji Chi, who had never touched a motorcycle before, said he could. The next day, he rode a motorcycle to meet Lu Zhiyuan.

Later, they found out that he had learned it in a day and almost broke his bones.

“Gu Ziyu said he saw you fishing,” Lu Zhiyuan calmly asked, “Who is lying?”

Ji Chi was surprised, and his expression showed rare seriousness. “The Young Master and I just met recently. He didn’t even treat me to a meal. He took me to a roadside stall, and I paid for it.”

Li Jiang kept silent.

“The Young Master is so arrogant and particular, would he eat at a roadside stall?”

Lu Zhiyuan pondered, although Gu Ziyu was playing a cute and adorable child, he never lied in front of Gu Ci. What was going on?

Li Jiang said, “I’m confused too.”

Lu Zhiyuan said lightly, “Alright, let’s stop here. Don’t try to test Gu Ziyu either. He’s very smart and suspicious. Just take it that he was joking.”

Gu Ci came back after a comfortable bath and read the surgery report written by Dr. North. For the last surgery she performed, Dr. North’s name was listed, and she had already written the surgery report herself. Her case was going to be retried, and the situation would improve.

Every step of the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical details matched perfectly. If it weren’t for her personal experience, everyone would think it was Dr. North who performed the surgery. Only she had such ability.

“That’s it!” Gu Ci whispered. She and Dr. North had reached the end of their karma as master and disciple. They were both reborn, so it was time to move on.

But deep down, she still felt some reluctance. Gu Ci had never received maternal love since she was a child. She had a solitary and sensitive personality. In prison, she was bullied by people arranged by Gu Chuyun. She was like a little rabbit thrown into a wolf’s den, almost torn apart. It was Dr. North who protected her and taught her medicine and surgery.

The prison was located in a remote area and was rampant with corruption. It was filled with serious and death row criminals, almost becoming an autonomous region. The warden was the most powerful person there.

The warden had a good relationship with Dr. North, and after enduring a period of bullying, Gu Ci’s situation improved when she started learning in the operating room under Dr. North’s guidance.

Besides teaching her medicine, Dr. North also provided her with a lot of warmth emotionally. She learned a lot from Dr. North, and the term “master” was a genuine expression of her feelings.

She respected Dr. North like a mother.

Later, even though her right hand was disabled, and she felt heartbroken and desperate, she never sought revenge. Otherwise, with her vengeful personality, how could she endure it? When she heard that Dr. North died in prison, she even cried bitterly.

The pain of having her tendons severed was unforgettable, but so was Dr. North to her, both a friend and a mother. It was difficult for her to let go, and her wrist would ache whenever she thought of Dr. North.

In this life, her case was retried, and she knew Little Cherry was alive. She wouldn’t die in prison, and she would soon be reunited with Little Cherry. They would both have a better future.

So let’s each be well!

The events of the previous life had passed with the wind, and she needed to learn to be open-minded and forget these injuries.

After a pleasant weekend, it was back to busy university life. After the incident where she and Lu Zhiyuan toured Haicheng and caused a sensation, the attention on them was too high. When they returned to school, all eyes were on them.

Gu Ci’s popularity had plummeted, almost reaching freezing point. Lu Zhiyuan was so popular that the incident of him losing the championship due to dating Gu Ci was almost taken as fact if not clarified or denied. Naturally, Lu Zhiyuan’s fans wouldn’t like Gu Ci, even the fans who were academic achievers.

Fortunately, although the academic achiever fans didn’t like Gu Ci, they didn’t have any ill intentions toward her. They simply disliked her as their idol’s girlfriend. They would keep their distance from Gu Ci in the same classroom, sit far away from her in the library, and avoid her in the cafeteria. For the not-so-social Gu Ci, this was actually a blessing.

She didn’t need friends!

Zhou Jinjin almost laughed herself to death. “Why don’t you join a club? There’s a debating club, traditional Chinese painting club, chess club, and even a basketball club. Do you want to join one? I’ve joined a rock band club.”

Gu Ci refused, not wanting to join any club.

“Why join a club?” she asked.

“To make friends,” Zhou Jinjin said. Although Gu Ci and Zhou Jinjin grew up together and were accustomed to reading people’s moods, their personalities were completely different. Gu Ci was reclusive and didn’t like to interact with people, while Zhou Jinjin longed to be accepted by friends and hoped to make a bunch of them.

They were ostracised and grew up together, but Zhou Jinjin had a much better circle of friends. She was clear-minded and had her own judgment criteria when it came to making friends.

“This is A University, the highest institution in the country. Your classmates are likely to be elites from various fields. This is your natural circle. We are social animals, and having more friends means more paths. Although Lu Zhiyuan’s fans don’t like you, there are so many students in the school, and not all of them are Lu Zhiyuan’s fans. We need to establish our own resources and circles. After graduation, this will be our network.” Zhou Jinjin said with a light smile, “This kind of network is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Why do we need to seek it elsewhere? Of course, you don’t need to go out of your way to make friends. Just maintain good relationships. This is the kind of network that many people dream of.”

Gu Ci agreed with Zhou Jinjin’s words. It made sense.

But she had too many things to worry about.

“Jinjin, I have friends!” Gu Ci said with a soft smile. “Close friends, two or three are enough. I don’t need too many.”

“You saying that makes me feel warm.” Zhou Jinjin said, “To be friends with you, I have to take the initiative. It’s like that saying, ‘It takes two hands to clap.'”

That’s Gu Ci for you. She wouldn’t take the initiative to establish any connections or make friends..
