Chi Gui was reading a groundbreaking research paper on neurosurgical diseases, recently published by an international professor. The entire content was in English, yet she comprehended it effortlessly.
Engrossed in the paper, she suddenly heard a timid voice above her.
She instinctively frowned, then looked up, "Ah... it's you... It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Chi Gui's voice was calm, showing neither impatience at being disturbed nor displeasure.
This relieved the girl, who then spoke up, "My name is Su Niannian... I left in such a hurry last time, I didn't get to properly thank you. May I treat you to a meal?"
Chi Gui didn't want to go.
But just as she was about to refuse, she saw Su Niannian's face tense up, as if she was about to faint, her eyes red, looking utterly pitiable.
Chi Gui let out an inward sigh, "Alright."
She packed up her book and stood up to follow Su Niannian to the cafeteria.
