Chapter 254: Chapter 125: Come Home with Me Later
On the way back, Gao stroked his chin, a look of suspicion on his face.
"Huai, did you con your classmate into taking the fall for you again?"
"Yo ho?!"
Surprised, Su Huai looked at Gao: "Wow, buddy, you’ve grown a brain after not being beaten for a few days?"
"Damn!"
Gao, annoyed, spat and cursed: "Hanging out with you, you gotta be more cunning, right? Every time there’s a beauty, you screw your classmates over!"
With an attitude that took no shame but pride instead, Gou Huai chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
"So you’ve learned, huh? Next time I deal with a beauty, stay far away, and don’t crowd around like a big dope!"
This remark quickly spread among the boys in the data science class group chat.
All 16 of them sensed the murderous undertone in the Dog Class Leader’s joke, whispered among themselves, and stayed alert.
Eventually, the big-mouthed Zhang Renhui voiced everyone’s thoughts: "Damn, we really can’t afford to offend Dog Class Leader, we better not join in the fun recklessly..."
Through Su Huai’s relentless pounding and hinting, the emotional intelligence of the guys in the class improved drastically, as did their perceptiveness.
Macho men? All bent!
...
Su Huai’s good mood did not last long.
As soon as he got to the dorm, Sao Ji pounced on him with shining eyes: "Bro, Chen and Goddess Gu are competing and getting jealous over you?!"
What the heck?!
Su Huai frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart: "Where did you hear that?"
"On the forum!" Sao Ji, lively and animated, gesticulated: "Ha, someone posted right after school ended, and now there are over 100 replies already!"
Goddamnit, why is the internet age so disgusting?
"Where’s the post? Let me see it."
"Use my computer!"
Sao Ji enthusiastically made room, cackling weirdly.
Su Huai sat down to take a careful look and felt that the situation didn’t seem too serious, yet he also felt as if there were eyes everywhere.
The post was made by a freshman from the School of Management, and the discussion was mostly among the freshmen, not particularly trending, but many were waiting to watch the excitement and gossip.
"Low heat" and "a lot of people" were not contradictory.
Juniors, seniors, and graduate students hardly engaged in the forum, the eastern campus and Liangxiang Campus didn’t pay much attention to the main campus gossip. Subtract the focused study group, and it was only about a thousand or two active on the forum chatting and spamming.
Not many in number, but the proportion paying attention to the trio was exceedingly high.
Su Huai found he had clearly underestimated the influence of the names Chen Nuanhan, Gu Jiuyue, and Su Huai.
[Su Huai is really nice, I’ve interacted with him, he’s really mature for his age and does things methodically]
[Chen Nuanhan is the prettiest, no arguments!]
[Gu Jiuyue is so pretty in person, I really want to get close to her...]
These comments probably weren’t from data science or e-commerce students, and they might not even be from students of the School of Management.
The post didn’t detail any specific incidents, just started with a picture and the rest was made up; anyway, it was about the love and hate entanglement between two goddesses over a scumbag, very abstract.
But amazingly, despite the details not matching up at all, the situation turned out to be just like that...
Su Huai’s expression changed unpredictably, and Sao Ji tentatively asked: "Bro, is it true? Are their roommates fighting every day?"
"It’s not as exaggerated as fighting every day."
"Wow, they’re really fighting?"
"What else? Hasn’t the female dorm already leaked information?"
Su Huai rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Dorm 515 and 511 were too close to each other, bumping into each other all the time, one can imagine the friction.
Luckily Gu Jiuyue didn’t live on campus, only sitting in the dorm for a while when she had no classes, otherwise... he didn’t even want to imagine.
Sao Ji sensed his big brother’s troubles, yet couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked weakly: "Bro, are they really jealous over you?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Scrubbing the issue clean, Gou Huai decisively said: "Chen Nuanhan is the woman Chief Chu has his eyes on, and Gu Jiuyue is a second-generation rich kid that school leaders asked me to look after. What does their discord have to do with me, a mere class leader?!"
Sao Ji raised his thumb, sighing in admiration: "Chief Chu is really blessed to have you..."
Huh? 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Is he being sarcastic?
Su Huai eyed Sao Ji suspiciously, who shrank his head and muttered softly: "Why are you looking at me? Bro, the gossip on the forum is the big deal. If it ferments further, the whole school will know about your love triangle, you can fool me, but will others believe it?"
Heh, you’re certainly outspoken in your heart.
Su Huai knew that Sao Ji’s warning was right.
The campus was small, but the individuals outstanding, which meant Gu Jiuyue and Chen Nuanhan attracted too much attention, and everyone loved gossipping about them.
Plus, a story of "competing and getting jealous" naturally had top-level elements for spreading, so whether now or in the future, similar discussions and voyeurism would never cease.
This was a big problem.
Because Gou Huai was no longer a disinterested onlooker, but a victim.
If it was normal dating, one-on-one, being the subject of gossip wouldn’t be too bad, and could even be regarded as a source of achievement, fully satisfying a man’s vanity.
But now he was walking on a tightrope, Gou Huai racked his brain trying to please both sides, only to be watched by so many eyes...
It was terrifying.
Just look at how sharp the eyes of the crowd were—
[What merits does Gou Huai have to deserve two goddesses?!]
[He’s obviously a scumbag, stringing them along, what did Nuannuan do wrong?]
[That Gou Dongxi, good at hoodwinking leaders and pinching students in the student union, he’s not bad, in any case, his status is incredibly high, I don’t need to see, I already know what’s going on]
[Two beauties competing and getting jealous (X)]
