Chapter 2192: Zhong Li: She Said She Fears I’ll Bring Her Misfortune Unto Death

Before her gaze was fully withdrawn, Gu Zhiqi saw Zhong Li pull Jin Cenglv into his embrace.

Gu Zhiqi: !

Instantly, Gu Zhiqi abandoned the idea of retracting her gaze and reached out to tug on the sleeve of Fu Wangchan, who was standing closest to her, signaling him to look at Jin Cenglv.

Having just recognized Jin Huaqing, Fu Wangchan was still a bit dazed.

Feeling Gu Zhiqi tug on his sleeve, Fu Wangchan turned his head to glance at her and saw her staring intently in the direction of Jin Cenglv, so he too looked in that direction.

After looking, Fu Wangchan was even more bewildered.

What’s going on?

Fu Wangchan and Jin Cenglv are the same age; Jin Cenglv is two months older. The two were in the same class from elementary school to high school, and although they’re not in the same class at university, they are in the same faculty.

Zhong Li is a physics teacher at Imperial Capital University, which Fu Wangchan was aware of.

So, when did these two get together?

Wait, isn’t Jin Cenglv a Mystic Master?

Isn’t Professor Zhong Li in physics?

These two...

Just their views alone are different, right?

With both Gu Zhiqi and Fu Wangchan looking at Jin Cenglv and Zhong Li, the few others standing nearby couldn’t help but turn their heads to look too.

Jin Huaqing looked at the embraced young couple and sighed, "Being young is wonderful."

Since Jin Cenglv and Zhong Li were occupied, Gu Zhiqi temporarily refrained from taking Jin Huaqing and the others to bother Jin Cenglv, instead leading them to find Fu Xiyan.

However, Fu Xiyan was also busy, but with Gu Xiyue.

Therefore, Gu Zhiqi took the group to find Jin Cengran.

Fortunately, Jin Cengran was busy as well, but not with a partner.

After introducing everyone, Gu Zhiqi left Jin Huaqing and the others with Jin Cengran and went off with Su Yunling to handle some business.

There were quite a few things to arrange post-battle.

That night, everyone settled down in Ning City.

In the evening, just after Gu Zhiqi had sent away the nth person who came looking for her, and was about to wash up and go to sleep, there was a knock on her room door.

Gu Zhiqi felt a bit overwhelmed inside and started to reflect on why she had to know so many people.

She walked to the door with a look of dismay and opened it.

Upon seeing who stood outside, Gu Zhiqi promptly concealed the frustration in her eyes.

"Cousin? Professor Zhong Li?"

Standing outside were Jin Cenglv and Zhong Li.

Recalling the events she witnessed during the day, Gu Zhiqi’s gaze moved back and forth between the two.

"Qiqi." Jin Cenglv softly called out to Gu Zhiqi, then slightly lowered his eyes, appearing somewhat reserved.

Zhong Li immediately followed suit and greeted Gu Zhiqi, "Miss Gu."

Seeing the two coming to find her, Gu Zhiqi was slightly puzzled. She nodded toward them and said, "Is there something you need from me? Come in and have a seat."

Jin Cenglv, head lowered, quickly slipped into Gu Zhiqi’s room and then reached out to hug Gu Zhiqi’s arm.

Seeing this, Zhong Li hesitated for a moment, staring at Jin Cenglv’s back for a few seconds with a somewhat resentful gaze before finally stepping into the room.

Gu Zhiqi glanced sideways at Jin Cenglv, slightly raising her eyebrows.

After all three were seated, Gu Zhiqi poured each a cup of tea.

Zhong Li thanked her before looking at Gu Zhiqi and explaining the reason for their visit, "She told me that I have no wife or children in my fate, afraid I might cause her misfortune. Miss Gu, do you have any solutions?"

When saying "misfortune," Zhong Li glanced at Jin Cenglv.

Jin Cenglv heard this, paused momentarily, looked up at Zhong Li, moved her lips slightly, but ultimately said nothing.

Her exact words weren’t quite like that.
