Chapter 127: Self-deception
Su Li and Chen Xi quickly went to the self-service barbecue restaurant. The store was elegant, the lighting was soft, and the music was soothing, making people feel much more pleasant.
The two of them had a great time eating, forgot their worries and immersed themselves in the delicacy. They left until the lights rose. When they returned, they passed by a high-end restaurant. Through the glass window, Su Li suddenly saw a familiar woman sitting inside. She had brown curly hair, long false eyelashes, thick foundation, and red lips.
Su Li searched in her mind, thought about it and then finally realized that the reason she felt familiar was because she looked very similar to An Lan who she met during a winter vacation work in an RT restaurant.
But no matter what, I couldn't believe that she would be An Lan. An Lan always wore a high ponytail, never put on makeup, and dressed very simply. She was really different from the mature, charming and fashionable woman in front of her.
"Maybe it's just like this!" When she thought about this, the woman just looked out. She was stunned when she saw Su Li, a light red flashed across her face, and she turned her head unnaturally.
Su Li looked at the person sitting next to her. It was an old man in a suit and ties. She couldn't tell what age she was. She looked bald, with a greasy face and a big belly. She was taking the initiative to pick up food for her. Her eyes narrowed into a line, making people feel no good. Seeing this scene, Su Li couldn't help but remember the words that An Lan had sneered at the sneer of Orange before, "I heard that she was kept by a very old man. Look at the suit she was wearing, maybe it was from that old man." She suddenly felt a little sarcastic.
Seeing that Su Li had been looking at her side, Chen Xi looked over and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you know that woman?"
Su Li shook her head, "It's just like she looks like her." She didn't want to admit that she was her. The An Lan in her heart was a girl who worked hard for her dreams, a person who disdained to rely on men to survive. This was just someone who looked like her.

On Monday, the first exam since the start of school was ushered in. After the exam, the scores quickly fell. Zhou Qi's scores rose rapidly and he jumped directly to the upper and lower positions, shocking many classmates, but many of them suspected that he was cheating.
Only Su Li and Chen Xi knew that he was different from before, and they both congratulated him after class. He smiled embarrassedly, "It's not very good." Who can believe that such a person always sleeps last semester and never likes to study, and even fights and causes trouble in various ways.
Now that he has become like this, it must be related to Chen Nang's. This made Su Li sigh that it is really a lucky thing to meet the opposite sex who makes him better when he is young.
She also encountered it. Although she has lost it now, no matter what, she was lucky, which is good.

Su Li and Chen Xi ranked second in the class, with the first being the class leader Liu Min, but they were only a few points higher than them.
So Su Li was still very satisfied with her grades. She was happy when she went to the cafeteria with Chen Xi at noon. The two of them chose a seat in the back, and sat down while eating. While they were chatting, Su Li suddenly heard two female students next to her talking about the senior high school. One said, "The senior high school has conducted a mock exam. Senior Gu, who has always had excellent grades, has heard that he did a bad exam this time for some reason."
When Su Li heard this, she became worried and stopped and held her breath to continue listening.
The other of the two said, "How could he do that?"
"Who knows, if you can't perform well, or if you are in love, it seems that he is very close to Senior Sister Lin."
"It seems that 80% is that love is the most affecting my studies. My parents strictly prohibited me from falling in love in high school, saying that if I know, I will break my legs and I will have to wait for college to talk to me."
"You think love is something you can talk about when you want to talk about, and sometimes you have to wait for fate. It's not that if you want to talk about it, a suitable person will come to you. So I think you must hold on to what you meet and like, so you can still talk about it. As long as you grasp it well, it won't affect your study."
"How can you grasp it well? Many people who are in love cannot control themselves."
The chats that followed were not about Gu Ling'an, so Su Li took his heart back and continued to lower her head to eat, but she was no longer able to eat.
Chen Xi said, "Do you want me to accompany you to take the initiative to care about him? What's going on? I don't believe that he will be like this because of falling in love with that snow. I think it's because of you. You two are really like each other but want to break up. What medicine did the senior take wrong?"
Su Li stopped the chopsticks and wanted to say something. She opened her mouth but didn't know what she could say. She simply kept silent and continued to lower her head to eat. Chen Xi also fell silent, and the atmosphere was much more depressing.
When the two of them walked into the corridor after dinner, Su Li suddenly found a familiar figure walking in the distance. She was so tall and thin that it made people's heart beat faster. After a closer look, it was Gu Ling'an. The other party also saw her and stopped suddenly, as if he was considering whether to continue walking over or turn around and leave.
Before he could take action, Su Li pulled Chen Xi to run from a staircase next to him. He ran down the road and met Xu Chen. Xu Chen looked at the two of them panting and stood in front of Su Li, and spoke like a domineering boyfriend, "You can't run like this just after you've just had enough, don't you know!"
Su Li looked up at him blankly. He leaned closer to him, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression for her. She wanted to retreat, but there were steps behind her and she couldn't get up for the moment.
At this time, Chen Xi suddenly shook her hand away and ran away alone. Su Li said "Oops", glared at Xu Chen gently, shouting "Chen Xi" and ran over, leaving Xu Chen standing there frowning and looking at the backs of the two of them running quickly.
Also looking at them was Gu Ling'an on the second floor. He stood there with no expression on his face, making people unable to guess what he was thinking.
Su Li quickly caught up with Chen Xi, and the two sat down on the lawn. Chen Xi said, "Oh, we ran down like that, and we were panting together, but he only had you in his eyes. I was really sad and angry at that moment, but think about it calmly, what qualifications do I have to be angry? No wonder everyone says that girls like to make trouble, it turns out that I am the same." After saying that, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
