Chapter 96 The bottom line of love

"What's wrong? Your clothes don't look dirty."

The main entrance of the library,

Sakai Katsuko watched with confusion as Gu Weijing took out a tissue and wiped her shoulders in school uniform hard.

Gu Weijing smiled bitterly,

It can't be said that he didn't know what the other person's hand touched before patting his shoulder.

"Wait a minute, your tie is not tied properly."

Sakai Katsuko stopped Gu Weijing who was about to leave.

She took a few steps forward and gently pulled away the loose tie from Gu Weijing's school uniform shirt.

"Let me help you tie it again."

She folded the silk cloth on her chest after unfolding it. Shengzi lowered his head and intertwined his fair and dexterous fingers as if tying a delicate knot.

Gu Weijing's body muscles were as stiff as a taut bow.

He knew that in Japanese and Korean culture, it was normal for girls to tie ties, tidy up clothes, and even kneel down to tie their shoelaces for close friends of the opposite sex.

A few years ago, Song Joong-ki, the top star in the peninsula, appeared in the new school idol drama in which he knelt down on one knee to tie a girl's shoelaces in a gender-reversed plot. It also caused a heated discussion on social media about whether boys can tie girls' shoes.

The nationals quarreled.

However, this situation is still relatively rare in European-style campuses that advocate equality between men and women.

He felt a little ashamed, a little nervous, and had some unspeakable feelings.

There was the sound of silk rubbing against his ears, and the warm fragrance of Miss Katsuko's body was on his nose. His heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

Gu Weijing noticed that a light red glow appeared on Sakai Katsuko's neck and side of her face.

Close physical contact itself is an important way to initiate a sense of closeness.

Same for boys and girls.

This happens even between parents and children.

In biology, this phenomenon is called "contact intimacy", which is an objective physiological law.

It is for this reason that social dances have become the most important dating events in European history, and that there is such a high proportion of male and female figure skating partners becoming husband and wife or lovers.

"Okay, let's continue tomorrow."

Katsuko Sakai tied her tie: "The principal assigned me the reading room B16 alone. We have to take some time every day to write the first draft of the paper as early as possible."

…

time flies,

Soon the first week of school will come to an end.

The progress of writing the thesis was smoother than expected. Katsuko Sakai is indeed a very good partner.

Not only does she have good English writing skills and is familiar with the content of art history, but she also carefully formulated a writing outline and task schedule.

Katsuko Sakai breaks a large paper into many small and different points.

Gu Weijing and the girl would sort out yesterday's content in the study room at noon every day, read the paper together, then discuss the next step in writing, and then finish it separately after going home.

The communication between them was unexpectedly in tune.

According to this progress,

Maybe a rough first draft of the paper can be completed within this month.

Katsuko Sakai lives a hermit-like life on campus.

Except for the physical education classes with the girls, I almost keep my schedule in the study room and the studio.

therefore,

The public studio has almost become the only opportunity for outsiders to see Sakai Katsuko.

Whenever Katsuko Sakai walks into the studio,

The large public studios on the Dulwich campus always become overcrowded in a short period of time.

There are even many students from other departments and ordinary classes who sneak into the studio just to see the true face of this legendary artistic girl who is very beautiful and has a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Sakai Katsuko would also politely chat with everyone who struck up a conversation with her at the beginning.

Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I could only put on a pair of pink Beats headphones while painting, and use this tactful way to refuse to talk while painting.

There is a rumor on campus that the new transfer students are a little aloof.

People who are familiar with Shengzi know that she is just not very good at dealing with such problems.

"Gu Weijing, please wait a moment, I want to talk to you."

on Friday,

As soon as Gu Weijing walked out of the library door, he met Mrs. Sakai on the side.

"Mom? What's the matter?"

Miss Shengzi, who was smiling with Gu Weijing, suddenly saw her mother, with a bit of surprise and a bit of nervousness on her face.

"Shengzi, you should go to the studio first. I want to have a few words with Xiao Gu alone."

Mrs. Sakai touched her daughter's head and signaled Katsuko to do her own thing first.

"Mom, Gu Weijing is a very good person. He is the best peer I have ever met. I am honored to co-write this paper with him."

Sakai Katsuko didn't move, and looked at Gu Weijing with worried eyes.

She was very relaxed and happy when she was with Gu Weijing.

But I don't know why.

Sakai Katsuko could feel that her mother had always had some vague prejudice against Gu Weijing, and she always seemed to dislike her getting too close to him.

"It's not about the paper."

Mrs. Sakai shook her head and said to her daughter: "Shengzi, be obedient, you have nothing to do here."

A few minutes later,

Gu Weijing appeared in Mrs. Sakai's school office.

The office space assigned to Mrs. Sakai by the principal is very large, about fifty square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sun and a large sofa for guests.

"Do you want something to drink, Xiao Gu?"

Mrs. Sakai asked Gu Weijing to sit on the sofa, walked to the coffee machine, and pressed the button to make coffee.

"No."

Gu Weijing shook his head: "Madam, what do you want from me?"

He had no impression of Mrs. Sakai.

I just briefly said hello to this beautiful lady through the window glass in the passenger seat of the Mercedes-Benz driven by Taro Komatsu.

"Then, let's be blunt, Gu Weijing, I actually don't like you at all..."

Mrs. Sakai turned her back to the floor-to-ceiling window, holding up the coffee cup and taking a sip.

"...but my daughter might like you."

Gu Weijing was completely stunned.

He imagined countless possible directions for the topic between Mrs. Sakai and himself, but he did not expect this way of development at all.

"Madam, have you misunderstood? Miss Shengzi and I are not in that kind of relationship." Gu Weijing stretched out his hand, feeling a little at a loss.

Mrs. Sakai looked at Gu Weijing with an unhappy face.

"When I said that Shengzi liked you, your first reaction was not to be ecstatic, but to refute. You know, I really want to throw the coffee in my hand on your face now."

"Katsuko, she..."

Gu Weijing opened his mouth, but he had not yet recovered from the impact of Mrs. Sakai's words.

Does Sakai Katsuko like herself?

How is this possible?

She does treat herself differently from others, but that's just because the two of them need to discuss the paper together.

"Okay, don't refute. Young man, I know my daughter better than you do. She is a rare treasure who has been kissed on the cheek by the Muse, the goddess of art. I even once suspected that she would no longer pay attention to the art of painting. I won’t fall in love with anything, let alone anyone.”

Mrs. Sakai waved her hand to indicate to Gu Weijing to listen to what she had to say.

"You are the first of Katsuko's peers whose name is mentioned frequently.
