Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten
Chapter 1054 - 1056: Becoming a Celebrity
Gong Ruini talks excitedly about Luo Zijun while eating.
"You wouldn’t believe how smug she looks just because she’s getting a scholarship."
"Then finding out her grades are actually the worst in the dorm, such a look." Gong Ruini thinks about it with excitement.
"She didn’t get angry or lose her temper." Zhao Xuran holds little affection for Luo Zijun.
Knowing she’s attending the gathering as Gong Ruini’s boyfriend, she continues to throw flirtatious glances his way.
Zhao Xuran is no stranger to such flirtatious looks, but he doesn’t understand how she can be so shameless.
"How could she not."
Recalling Luo Zijun’s words in the dorm, Gong Ruini feels annoyed, "All kinds of digs, indirect shots."
"She even asked how much we plan to donate." Such people are disgusting, she had already said she wouldn’t donate, yet insists on bringing it up again.
"Indeed, how much will you donate this time?" A gentle voice characteristic of Jiangnan women, though the words aren’t so pleasant.
"Is it necessary to donate the scholarship?" Gong Ruini’s previous argument isn’t unknown; she remembers it caused quite a stir.
"Everyone donates, especially President Zhao Xuran also donated." Xu Huijuan, while smiling, clearly indicates she’s not coming with good intentions.
"Exactly, Brother Xu Ran, are you donating this time too?" Hmph, yet another admirer.
Gong Ruini directly ignores, sweetly asking Zhao Xuran.
Zhao Xuran shakes his head, "No, don’t donate. What you said is right, it’s the result of my hard work for a semester."
"How I use this money is my own affair."
"But don’t you think many underprivileged people really need it?" Xu Huijuan gets anxious.
"If they need it, why don’t they study hard, why wait for donations."
If that’s the case, who would be happy accepting a scholarship, working hard only to end up giving it away, feeling truly at ease.
"How can you say that, having good grades is prestigious." Truly a money-grubbing girl, can’t understand how Zhao Xuran got attracted to her, Xu Huijuan feels all sorts of unfairness in her heart.
"Prestige?" Gong Ruini almost blurted it out but thought better, many eyes around watching. "I want prestige, but I also want the scholarship."
"We rely on our family to fund our education, can’t I use my hard-earned results to ease my parents’ burden?"
"By your logic, city kids whose parents earn a salary may not have to buy groceries?"
"For rural students whose parents have no salary, but they farm, their vegetables and grains don’t need purchasing.
"They labor to grow vegetables and rice, converting to money, isn’t that income?"
"I’m really curious how many people like this policy without mentioning donations."
"Those receiving aid have to speak publicly for such a small amount, I would feel uneasy if it were me."
Constantly announcing the poverty of one’s family asking for charity from others.
"Charity?" Xu Huijuan gets anxious, "Gong Ruini, I know you did well in exams this time, you can certainly get a scholarship, you won’t want to donate, but you shouldn’t speak such nonsense."
"Nonsense?" Gong Ruini stared at Xu Huijuan for a while, "What’s nonsense about it, isn’t it possible to work for it?"
"I think the school could set up work-study positions, assess whose family conditions aren’t good, outsource some tasks to external sources, simple tasks could totally be done by students from average families."
"Labor is honorable; I believe they would also like to earn money by their efforts."
"I think this proposal is good." Zhao Xuran isn’t wholly agreeing with Gong Ruini, but he genuinely thinks the proposal is worthwhile.
"President." Xu Huijuan gets anxious, "You can’t support her just because she’s your girlfriend."
Whoa, initially seeing Xu Huijuan and Zhao Xuran’s argument, many people gathered to watch, even after finishing their meals, they didn’t want to leave, eager to see how the situation unfolds.
Unexpectedly hearing such shocking news, everyone in disbelief.
Though Gong Ruini’s grades match Zhao Xuran’s well, their age difference is significant.
Gong Ruini doesn’t interact much with people, but when asked about academic problems, she thoroughly explains, drawing a lot of attention.
No one acts, besides fearing the staring eyes of Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruwen, they also consider Gong Ruini’s young age, it’s unsuitable to make a move.
No one expected Zhao Xuran to take her away, if they weren’t afraid of Zhao Xuran targeting them, they’d really like to show Zhao Xuran their middle finger.
Never seen someone so shameless, clearly said he’s Gong Ruini’s brother, yet unexpectedly turned around like this.
Describing Zhao Xuran further isn’t necessary, excelling in grades, appearing handsome with many admirers.
No one anticipated Gong Ruini captivating him, how can those harboring feelings for Zhao Xuran endure.
"Ah, how are they dating." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"University students can’t date, right."
"Exactly."
"Maybe it’s fake." Some doubt, everyone knows Zhao Xuran is always buried in work.
They’ve seen how Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran interact before, truly not seeming like a couple.
Hearing the chatter around, Gong Ruini feels an awful headache, it’s noisier than the market.
"I won’t blindly agree with Ni Zi just because she’s my girlfriend."
Yet, I feel these supposed forced donation suggestions make many think receiving scholarships isn’t worthwhile.
"Regarding Work-Study, I find the proposal good, I’ll soon draft it for the school."
"Earning through work would really make spending more enjoyable."
Zhao Xuran finishes his words and leaves with Gong Ruini, "As for the alleged no dating, I think this student is mistaken; there’s no such rule in the school regulations."
"The legal marriage age in our country, men not earlier than twenty-two years and women not earlier than twenty years."
"That’s why many people marry their university classmates right after graduation."
"If they didn’t date in university, how could they marry right after graduating."
"I understand some feel I’m unsuitable with Ni Zi, you might take issue with her."
Zhao Xuran abruptly turns, "I really don’t mind chatting with those dissatisfied."
Then accelerates his departure, staying longer he can’t guarantee controlling his temper.
Hmph, Xu Huijuan that woman really makes Zhao Xuran’s teeth ache, if there’s an issue couldn’t she ask later, is it strictly necessary to question now?
Thankfully Ni Zi’s fast-paced speaking didn’t let Xu Huijuan take control.
Gong Ruini isn’t foolish, she noticed Xu Huijuan repeatedly casting glances behind them, if there wasn’t anything behind, would she look?
Gong Ruini doesn’t know what’s going on, but she knows not to let Xu Huijuan lead the way, otherwise a disaster.
"Sigh, it’s all your fault, without you I wouldn’t be targeted?"
Her earlier words may have spread widely but should have stayed within the law faculty.
Thanks to Xu Huijuan today, Gong Ruini believes she’ll soon become school-famous.
