MTL - Aunt Qin Save Me-Chapter 31

The night falls, the study and work time is over, and the gym begins to be lively. When they came over, they met many acquaintances along the way.

Li Zihua explained: "These are all people who know each other when they work out together. Everyone has different majors, but it's fun to chat together."

Shen Yiqiu was curious, and asked casually, "What do you usually talk about when you are exercising?"

Li Zihua was about to answer, but stopped abruptly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Cough cough, just complain about your respective tutors or exchange new things happening in the school, or exchange about which brand of eggs works well."

Shen Yiqiu didn't ask any more questions, and his mind turned back to Gu Chao.

"Is there anything unusual about Gu Chao recently? Emotionally, or studying?"

Shen Yiqiu tried to connect Gu Chao and He Zhuo, but he was afraid of being seen by Li Zihua and the others, so he pretended to ask casually.

"It's no different, I'm still sticky with Xiaomeng every day, and I can make videos when I have time." Most of the people in the bedroom are optimistic about this long-distance couple.

Li Zihua thought about it again and added: "There's nothing unusual about it, so Xiaomeng called us to say that Gu Chao broke up, and we all thought she was joking."

After all, he confirmed it with Ding Song.

Ding Song also nodded, agreeing with this statement. But he remembered another thing: "Emotionally, Gu Chao is rarely unhappy, and occasionally it's just because of distance. He wants to go to Mengcheng after graduation, and he says he doesn't want to go to another place."

He paused for a moment, but decided to speak.

"But the boss didn't agree. Gu Chao was unhappy about this, and even quarreled with the boss face to face."

"The boss you said is your mentor?" Qin Qianrou was listening all the time. When a new character appeared, she wanted to confirm his identity immediately.

Ding Song was stunned for a moment, then changed his mouth and said, "It's a mentor, but we usually call the boss to get used to it, and he didn't change it all at once."

Qin Qianrou glanced at Shen Yiqiu, who happened to be looking at her. The two didn't speak, but the meaning in their eyes was clear: He Zhuo did have something wrong.

When they arrived at the gym, all acquaintances greeted Li Zihua and Ding Song. Some people saw that they even brought two beautiful women with them, and their eyes were full of jokes. Fortunately, their faces were gloomy and they had no intention of joking, otherwise the whistle might even sound.

Unlike usual, they went straight to the rooftop stairs today. Shen Yiqiu and the others followed, with a heavy heart.

The feeling here is not very good. Shen Yiqiu felt a little uncomfortable since entering the gym, her heart was stuffy, but it wasn't the kind of tingling that she used to feel.

The stairs are a bit narrow and can only be walked by one person. Qin Qianrou walked behind her and was a little worried when she saw her pace slow down.

She stepped up, almost on the same level as her: "Are you uncomfortable?"

"No, just a little suffocated."

"Need a break?"

"No, no, I finally found this place, so I can't waste time." Shen Yiqiu raised a smile and tried her best to say that she was fine.

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Qin Qianrou to speak, she took two big steps and distanced herself from her again.

Looking at the thin but firm figure, Qin Qianrou sighed softly and followed.

Usually they also come to the rooftop, smoke, and complain about how tiring the lab is. This is the secret world of boys. With the residual warmth after exercise, the unhappiness in my heart dissipated after repeated high-intensity exercises. In the end, here is a bit of relief.

Only today, the people who come here are not in a good mood.

The door of the roof was closed, Li Zihua pushed it open, and at a glance, no one was seen. He lowered his head to confirm that the floor tiles were diamond-shaped and colored.

He stepped aside and let Shen Yiqiu come to see, for fear that he would mislead everyone.

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing Shen Yiqiu's affirmation, everyone felt relieved. Although he didn't quite understand why Shen Yiqiu suddenly designated to come here, Zhang Meng repeatedly asked over the phone, begging them to cooperate with Shen Yiqiu.

The most urgent task is to find Gu Chao as soon as possible. If it's just a breakup, it's not a big deal, but it's not normal to lose contact for a long time for no reason. Li Zihua and the others were also anxious, thinking that if they couldn't find it here, they would probably have to go to the school to report it.

"No one!" Li Zihua was a little disappointed, but more anxious.

He suggested that everyone scatter around to look around, maybe Gu Chao just left here.

After he finished speaking, he and Ding Song got off the rooftop. They are more familiar with the environment here. Shen Yiqiu and the others are still staying in the gym, hoping that Gu Chao will appear.

"You only sensed the floor tiles on the rooftop and didn't see anyone else?"

Shen Yiqiu shook his head: "That's all the empty box can give me, that's all, I'll try my best."

Qin Qianrou heard her self-blame, and patted her on the shoulder, indicating that it was nothing.

One is quite obvious.

"It's right, so what, I haven't found it yet." Shen Yiqiu was a little frustrated, as if she was always one step late.

"Shh." Qin Qianrou suddenly stopped Shen Yiqiu's words and motioned her to keep quiet.

They listened carefully for a while without saying a word, and sure enough, they heard a small sound from the corner.

Sneak past, this is a blind spot. Unless you go over there specially, even if you stand on the same roof, you can't see the situation here.

At this time, there were pieces of paper all over the floor, which were torn to shreds.

The sound just now is the sound of tearing paper.

In the darkest corner, sitting alone, neatly dressed, it does not match the environment here. When he tore the paper just now, there was light flashing on his wrist, it was a watch.

"Are you Gu Chao?" Shen Yiqiu didn't dare to get too close, but there was anticipation in his voice.

The man was very depressed and listless. Hearing someone call him, he raised his head like a puppet.

"You know me?"

Haggard, frustrated, and desperate, the person in front of her is completely different from the sunny, warm, humorous and considerate boyfriend described by Senior Sister Zhang Meng, but they should be the same Gu Chao.

"We are friends of Senior Sister Zhang Meng, she can't find you, so let's take a look."

Hearing his girlfriend's name, his lifeless eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed again. This time the contrast is even more obvious, and Gu Chao's whole person is even lower.

"I broke up with her, so don't need to come to me, I'm fine."

Shen Yiqiu looked at the situation in front of her and couldn't use the word very well anyway.

"You look like this...is it okay?"

Gu Chao raised his head irritably, his voice hoarse: "Who wouldn't be sad for three or five days after falling out of love? I look pretty good now."

Qin Qianrou squatted down, picked up the scraps of paper, and was about to read the contents carefully when she heard Gu Chao's low roar.

"Don't touch those things!"

Shen Yiqiu was unhappy, she just couldn't see others treating Qin Qianrou like this, it was more uncomfortable than yelling at her directly.

"We came here from Mengcheng to find you. Even if you are not welcome, you should be a little polite."

She was even a little skeptical that Sister Zhang Meng felt that Gu Chao was so good because of beauty from distance.

Gu Chao stared at her for a while, without saying anything harsh, lowered his head and returned to his own world.

Qin Qianrou quickly glanced at the content on the paper, it should be an experimental report or a paper or something.

"Are you under too much academic pressure?"

Gu Chao shook his head, without gnawing.

"If it is really difficult to persevere, you can apply for a change of major, or you can temporarily suspend your studies."

The pressure of students is increasing day by day, which is related to the rapid development of society and the fierce competition among peers. Students in the ivory tower are often more prone to collapse in pure expectations because they have not been socially honed.

This kind of news has increased significantly in recent years, Qin Qianrou can understand their difficulty.

"Change majors? Suspend school?" Gu Chao raised his head, with a miserable smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen a bright future, and seemed to have heard a joke, "No, how could the boss agree."

No need to ask at this time, the boss Gu Chao mentioned is the same person as Ding Song, He Zhuo.

Shen Yiqiu knew all about He Zhuo's hypocrisy. Seeing Gu Chao being tortured like this, he couldn't bear it.

"If you really don't want to continue your studies, you may drop out."

Gu Chao muttered to himself twice, then shook his head frantically: "I can't drop out! How can I drop out! It's hard to pass the exam, everyone is looking forward to my graduation!"

Pressure, it must be too much pressure! Shen Yiqiu frowned, trying to comfort the person in front of him who looked far stronger than them but was actually vulnerable.

Qin Qianrou thought about it and walked over.

"Are these reviews given to you by your mentor?"

Gu Chao remembered what he had torn up, no longer deliberately concealed it, and nodded sullenly.

Shen Yiqiu glanced at the scraps of paper in Qin Qianrou's hand, and wrote: "The idea is not innovative enough, the data is lacking, the experimental process is not perfect, and it is recommended to redo it."

There are other incomplete words, such as: lack of goodness, mediocre qualifications, difficulty in graduation...

These are all very negative content, but didn't Senior Sister Zhang Meng say that Gu Chao was recruited by his tutor because of his outstanding undergraduate grades?

Shen Yiqiu felt Qin Qianrou gently pull on the hem of her clothes, looked over, and saw that she said silently, "Tutor question."

It's just awful! Thinking of He Zhuo's dignified appearance, Shen Yiqiu felt a chill in his heart. If there was no experience in her previous life, she might not have believed so quickly that the famous Professor He and Expert He could force a bright boy into this state.

"A person's evaluation does not mean anything, and the tutor's opinion is not completely right. You should believe in yourself, and these words should not be taken too seriously."

Gu Chao looked at Qin Qianrou gratefully, and others had told him her comfort. In fact, he knew the truth. If he completely believed the evaluation He Zhuo gave him, it might not be so painful.

"I know some words are not entirely true. He said that just because he hoped that we could work harder for him, be obedient, and don't raise any objections." Gu Chao choked up, like It is to think of the past, "But my future is in his hands, I can't resist!"

Shen Yiqiu understands the pain of being manipulated too well, and she can't see Gu Chao's self-torture.

"He is nothing more than threatening you with a diploma. The big deal is to retake the postgraduate entrance examination, for a tutor who doesn't know how to respect and appreciate you, it's not worth it."

Gu Chao was unable to smile bitterly, he never thought about this.

"I actually thought about these things a long time ago, and sometimes I would wake up laughing when I dreamed. But I can't do it, too many people place their hopes on me, I have no time to waste, There is no way back."

This… is too serious.

Shen Yiqiu was at a loss for words, Qin Qianrou thought about it and asked him, "Is this what He Zhuo told you?"

Gu Chao just wanted to shake his head, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that was the case.

His mentor, in addition to finding faults with his reports, would often instill such thoughts in him. Imperceptibly, Gu Chao didn't realize that he was so afraid to choose again.

It seems that apart from He Zhuo, he has no better place and no better way out.

He Zhuo seemed to have grasped the weakness of Gu Chao's strong sense of responsibility, and frequently encouraged and urged him with the people he cared about. But he always made him feel guilty and guilty, as if everything was because he didn't do well enough to lead to the current situation.

The author has something to say: I wish you all the best of luck in the college entrance examination.

Love you all!
