My Mister Ostrich

Chapter 81-90

Gu Mingxi listened to their conversation, and waited until the person left before lifting his foot up to the table. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Pang Qian kept adding food to his meal box from her own. She said, “Try this, it’s really good.”

“I have enough. You should eat some.”

“I’m losing weight.”

“You’re already thin, why do you need to lose weight?” Gu Mingxi frowned and looked at her. “Girls shouldn’t just casually lose weight. It’s not healthy.”

“I know, you’re so annoying.” Pang Qian said that, but a smile was plastered to her face. She asked Gu Mingxi, “Is our cafeteria’s food tasty?”

“Yeah.”

“Does the food at B University taste good?”

“…” Gu Mingxi had eaten from the cafeteria a few times. He shook his head. “Not really.”

“No wonder you’ve gotten so thin. Don’t be picky.” Pang Qian became antsy. “Even if you don’t like to eat it, you should still eat it.”

Gu Mingxi lifted his head to look at her and smiled. “I know. I’ll make sure to eat well.”

Pang Qian smiled. She pouted and asked, “So about what I said earlier. Let’s go to Zhouzhuang. I’ve never been there.”

Gu Mingxi thought for a moment, and then nodded, “Mm.”

Pang Qian bit her chopsticks and smiled happily. “Then it’s set.”

After they ate dinner, the sky was entirely dark. Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi were walking leisurely around the campus. For the first time, Gu Mingxi brought up Pang Qian’s studies. He said, “I thought about what you said, wanting to work for two years after graduation before going back to study some more. It makes a lot of sense, but wouldn’t that be harder to get into the school program later? Your school has more students who go straight into postgraduate studies. Why don’t you try to get a research position?”

“I’m considering it for my major,” Pang Qian said. “You should know, the kind of work you do depends on your major, and the salary is really different. At the time, I just picked whatever undergraduate major to study, I didn’t really understand it much then. If I’m going to study more later, I should understand the field of study a bit more. I’m not just studying it to get the degree. Gu Mingxi, do you know. The girl I mentioned, the one who came back to study, she used to work for one of the big four (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) and her salary was more than 200 thousand. But after she finishes her postgrad, she said it could jump up to 500 thousand. And if she goes to study in the US, ah, I don’t even dare to imagine!”

“Mm, you really did consider a lot.” Gu Mingxi nodded, and then he smiled. “Pang Pang, you’re very good now.”

“?” Pang Qian didn’t understand. “What’s very good?”

He said, “Everything. Serious, hardworking, forging forward. You don’t just think about eating and drinking anymore. You can think about your future now.”

Pang Qian beat him. “What do you mean eat and drink! You think I’m a pig?!”

Oddly enough, Gu Mingxi didn’t try to dodge her attacks like he would have in the past. Pang Qian’s fist really hit his body. “Ah!” she cried, before quickly massaging him. “You idiot, why didn’t you move.”

He smiled and his two canine teeth slipped out. “It’s been more than a year since you’ve hit me. I’m happy to take it.”

She unhappily cried out, “Who was hitting you?!”
