My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 28

Shi Qiuyu and Wei Yi trust Shi Li unquestioningly. When Shi Li declares someone as a playboy, they never doubt it.

Wei Yi can attest to this from personal experience, with her externally perfect father maintaining over a dozen mistresses outside her home.

This was later revealed to her by her uncle's investigations.

Seeing the handsome and elegant youth standing beside Gao Yun, Wei Yi initially found them a suitable match. Yet, upon hearing Shi Li label this boy as a playboy, her perception shifted dramatically.

Looking again at Qiao Shan, the young man's face was now shaded with sinister edges.

Gao Yun happens to be in the throes of new love; she wonders why Shi Li commented about her previous relationship with Qiao Shan, a relationship that never existed.

Gao Yun defended her boyfriend despite her friends' silence, "He treats me very well and takes good care of me."

"He is afflicted with love-sickness," Shi Li shared her diagnosis.

"I was the first to tell Gao Yun that this guy had previously pursued Liang Rongrong," Shi Li added.

Wei Yi and Shi Qiuyu found themselves baffled. The man who once pursued the one they loathed was now courting their dear friend. It tasted sour, like a mouthful of refuse. A man who could pursue someone they despised must be blind, and a blind man winning the heart of their friend felt like an insult.

Gao Yun wondered if there was some misunderstanding.

"Later, in his pursuit of his love interest, Qiao Shan even went as far as to threaten me by hiring thugs to warn me off tormenting his beloved," Shi Li continued.

Wei Yi and Shi Qiuyu were taken aback, wondering how many lives this boy had to play with.

Then Gao Yun got a shock.

"Perhaps I should tell Gao Yun that his previous affair was short-lived. And he isn't well-endowed either," Shi Li commented.

The trio was caught off guard. How could Shi Li know such intimate details?

They have never used a Mac lipstick sample so they had no clue about its size, but they have used a full-length lipstick, which wasn't all that long. If he was shorter than even a full-length lipstick, how short was he?

It is a biological fact that lateral bud growth is inhibited by the terminal bud's development.

Qiao Shan truly is quite tall, standing over 1.8m.

All three ladies measured Qiao Shan's height with their eyes, with their gazes ultimately landing on a rather awkward spot.

Gao Yun couldn't stand it anymore. Earlier, she could brush it off as a misunderstanding by Shi Li, but this was a principle issue, a red line that couldn't be crossed.

"It actually follows the law of biology," Shi Li defended her claim.

A sales assistant interrupted their exchange, stepping forward and asking, "Sir, are you satisfied with our brand's watch?"

Qiao Shan was currently adorned with a watch from their store.

The peculiar circumstances at their corner had the store staff nervous that this man might abscond wearing their watch, leaving them to share the cost of over ten thousand. It'd equate to two months of work for nothing.

Qiao Shan, a man of average means, couldn't afford such a luxury watch.

After their meeting, he gifted Gao Yun a scarf, a mere fifty yuan purchase from a roadside stall, but Qiao Shan insisted that he hand-knitted it.

Despite his academic prowess and busy study schedule, he willingly learned to knit for her and carved out time to create the scarf. He declared this to be the first gift since they started dating, insisting on putting in extra effort.

He also confessed that his family conditions are average and he can't afford to provide her with a good material life, but he will make up for it in other ways and become a boyfriend that makes her satisfied.

Gao Yun was deeply moved by his actions and insisted on buying him a gift.

It's only right to reciprocate if her boyfriend gives her a gift.

Gao Yun is well-off, generous with friends, and certainly not stingy with her boyfriend.

She also has some worries. Qiao Shan's gift had a lot of thought put into it, if she gave him a ready-made item, would it seem too perfunctory?

She voiced out her worries, but Qiao Shan thoughtfully assured her that he would love any gift she gave, no matter what it looked like.

Gao Yun took Qiao Shan to a watch store and they took quite a bit of time browsing.

If it weren't for the branded items Gao Yun wore, she would probably be despised by the sales lady.

At this moment, the sales lady asked if they were satisfied with the watch, which was actually just a subtle way of hurrying Qiao Shan to pay.

If you're satisfied, pay. If not, take off the watch.

Qiao Shan was waiting for Gao Yun to pay for this gift she intended to get for him.

It goes without saying, such an expensive item, he couldn't afford.

Right now, Gao Yun was engrossed in some physiological knowledge and hasn't noticed the sales lady's hint.

As for the other three who could swipe tens of thousands in a breath, one of them had been offended by him, and the other two had him on their hit list because he offended the first one.

Nobody wished to lend him a hand, they stood watching the spectacle, declining to help him.

In a moment, Qiao Shan felt like the poor, helpless main character from the early part of a son-in-law novel where the cruel wife allows her influential friends to bully him while neglecting her duties.

At this time, Qiao Shan could only save himself, maintaining a polite smile on his face, "I'm sorry, but I don't like this watch."

A straightforward new employee wanted to say, "Sir, you look great with this on, reconsider…"

An older employee immediately cut her off, "All right, sir, we can take this one off for you. You can look around our shop for another you like."

When the group of four left the shop, the older staff decided to teach the newbie.

"Being enthusiastic to the customers is good, but you need to be smart. That man just now was a gigolo, he couldn't afford anything, it's no use asking him."

"Those three girls are all wearing current-season designer clothes, the man doesn't wear a single valuable item. Why would he dare to walk into our store? Surely he was depending on the girls to pay."

The new employee was shocked, "A watch worth tens of thousands, how does he dare.”

The old staff shrugged, "Men are thick-skinned, shameless. The rich ladies don't flinch at this drop in the ocean, it's only a few days' worth of spending for them."

"Despite having hands and feet, he would rather scam young ladies of their money." The new employee shook her head, “If a rich lady treated me well, gave me a watch every month, I’d be tempted too."

The older employee playfully slapped her, "Stop dreaming. Go stock the shelves. You think providing company for a rich person is that easy."

Upon leaving the shop, Qiao Shan couldn't help but wonder if Gao Yun deliberately pretended not to hear him to avoid spending money on him.

Gao Yun was in a state of complete disarray, treating Qiao Shan with less enthusiasm than before, and even exhibiting a certain coldness.

Wei Yi and Shi Qiuyu looked peculiar, their gaze occasionally swept over the lower half of Qiao Shan's body.

Shi Li, the most enraged person at the scene and the one who provided the most information, was being outrightly ignored.

The focus of the three girls now hinges on one thing - just how big is the sample size of a certain brand's lipstick.
