Chapter 304: Chapter 144 The World Becomes Vibrant Because of You_2
Eventually, he did not express his position on the matter.
"Got it, I’ll be there as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Gu, goodbye."
After hanging up the call, Wu turned her head to glance into the office, where the Miss was lying on the desk, pressing down on a notebook with a pen in hand, busily writing something.
Su Huai lounged in his chair, a relaxed smile on his lips, responding to her half-heartedly.
The scene was not exactly picturesque as a golden boy and a jade girl, as Su’s looks, temperament, and even attire were quite different from those of the Miss, falling into the category that, at first glance, seemed mismatched.
Yet, in terms of atmosphere, it was a different scenario.
Gu Jiuyue was both focused and not, as if there was an invisible thread connecting her to Su Huai at all times.
And Su Huai was neither overly attentive nor cold to her, lacking the sycophantic gaze full of schemes at first sight, nor the impatient attitude typical of a straightforward man. The overall feeling was natural.
In the midst of this easygoing and focused ambiance, the small office seemed to become a world of its own, a space that belonged only to them.
What do you call such a distinct atmosphere?
In the words of a drama-watching aficionado, this was the ultimate "chosen" CP!
Sitting there was already a scene, every smile counted as giving sweet treats.
Even...
Eye contact, brimming with innuendo!
Wu couldn’t help muttering, "Why are you even here? Are you just excess scenery? Not being the main character but still trying to steal the show, totally unreliable."
She even wanted to remind Su Huai, but then thought about her salary and ultimately restrained her impulse.
Forget it, the noble will be favored by the heavens; Su could definitely get through this.
...
In the office, Gu Jiuyue finished writing today’s diary entry and slammed the notebook shut.
Su Huai teased her, "Afraid I might read it? Why didn’t you go home to write?"
"Because I suddenly felt like it and wanted to record it."
In Gu Jiuyue’s handbag, there wasn’t any makeup-related stuff, just a pack of wet wipes, a bottle of sunscreen, a diary, and a pen.
It was the first time Su Huai knew she had the habit of keeping a diary, and he was very curious.
"Do you write in it every day?"
"No," Gu Jiuyue shook her head, "I only write when I encounter memorable events. Like today, our first time getting into the police station..."
"Don’t make it sound so ominous."
Su Huai laughed dumbly, "We’re not even close to the level of getting arrested. At most, we were here to cooperate with the mediation."
Of course, Gu Jiuyue knew this but didn’t care, "Still, it’s the first time."
"Okay, what’s it feel like?"
"Not as scary as I imagined, and why is it all these petty issues?"
Su Huai realized she was looking forward to more novelty.
If it were some straightforward guy, he would surely answer, "Where are all the big cases from? The public security office usually deals with trivial matters."
And so on with such explanations.
But Gou Huai was different; he didn’t want to talk about those boring things, he decided to take Gu Jiuyue on a real adventure.
"Let’s go!"
He suddenly stood up, pulling Gu Jiuyue, "I’m going to take you to find some excitement!"
"Where to?"
"To the back."
"Huh?"
The public security office was a small compound; the main building had three floors, mainly for office use, and the back building was supposed to be a detention area or something similar — Su Huai wasn’t sure, but he saw people being taken over there.
"I’ll take you to see if there are any extremely vicious criminals. We rarely come here, right?"
Gu Jiuyue’s face reddened suddenly, that kind of abrupt blush.
Her eyes were half apprehensive, half excited; she knew rationally that this was not right and would cause trouble for others, yet emotionally, she was extremely eager to be reckless... She had been repressed for too long and too severely.
Gou Huai, however, was afraid of nothing and only wanted to indulge her wildness.
He peeked out of the doorway, noticing no one was paying attention to them, and naturally walked out, pacing steadily towards the exit.
Gu Jiuyue didn’t have such strong nerves, following him with cumbersome, sweaty-palmed steps.
"Don’t be nervous."
Su Huai even had the leisure to turn his head and comfort her, "At worst, it’s just a prank. It won’t cause any serious consequences. If we get caught, we’ll just be severely scolded—I’ll take the blame, and you just need to act cute, OK?"
Gu Jiuyue somehow found it entirely reasonable.
It also wouldn’t show that she contributed nothing.
"Yeah yeah!"
She nodded eagerly, tiptoeing to hide beside Su Huai, continuously whispering, "Cover me!"
Really, have you watched Mission Impossible...
As luck would have it, as soon as they left the room, they stumbled upon a major public altercation.
The security officers had brought back three people—two men, one of whom was crestfallen with a battered face and dodgy eyes. The other, unscathed, was clearly the victor but was sobbing his heart out.
"Let’s go, mediate this!"
Gou Huai was thrilled to find entertainment, eagerly making his way from the sidelines.
Of course, Gu Jiuyue had no objections; she was nearly ecstatic.
No sooner had they moved two steps, the parties reached the doorway when suddenly the victimizer exploded.
"Zhou XiaoLi, I slaved away for you and your family, put my heart and soul into it, do you care at all? Huh?! Do you have the slightest bit of conscience?"
The woman being scolded stood hands on hips, chest out, with an air of bluster even if her argument wasn’t strong.
"Gou Desheng, I was so aggrieved when I married you. If it weren’t for your family having a bit of money back then, would I have fancied you?
All these years, have you ever treated me to a western meal, given me a gift, or surprised me?
You can’t even remember my birthday, and you don’t know what Valentine’s Day is, did you marry me just to find a breeding machine?
In bed, you’re done in three minutes and then straight to sleep, snoring like thunder, performing your duties as if squeezing toothpaste. I’m only 32 this year, how many more years do I have to live like a widow?!"
"Just because of this, you’re cheating on me? Spending my money on a worthless bum?!"
"What do you mean, ’worthless bum’? Changfu outperforms you by eight in bed!"
"CNMD! You shameless whore!"
The man, furious, lunged to strike him, and it took both security officers to barely keep him in check.
"What are you doing? Everyone calm down!"
The woman, realizing she wouldn’t be hit, became even more hysterical, "Yes, I am a whore, only a loser like you deserves a pimp like Changfu!"
In the midst of the chaos, suddenly two Koreans burst out excitedly, asking, "Did someone from the consulate come? Who’s calling me Brother Fu?"
Thus, the scene grew even more chaotic...
Gu Jiuyue was stunned speechless, her eyes wide with shock, and her expression one of extreme fear.
"My goodness..."
Before she could truly start to express her shock, Wu rushed over, grabbed her forcefully, and asked in annoyance, "With everything so chaotic downstairs, what are you doing up here?"
"I... It’s too boring to stay inside."
Gu Jiuyue blinked her eyes, a simple gesture. But under those clear, bottomless, large eyes, it conveyed a lamentable cuteness.
Who could bear to scold such a Gu Jiuyue?
The police chief uncle who had come along couldn’t resist, and said pleasantly, "Then you guys stand aside and watch. Don’t cause trouble, OK?"
"Alright!"
Su Huai took the initiative, grabbed Gu Jiuyue, and obediently moved aside to squat in a little corner on the stairs at the entrance, starting to enjoy the spectacle like eating melon seeds.
Andy silently brought over a folding chair for the young lady to sit on, handed her a pack of melon seeds, and stood beside her, choosing not to leave...
The Koreans rushed out but didn’t find the person sent by the consulate, causing another this and that.
However, the commotion in front of them was equally entertaining—the woman was pretty and only wearing a strap top with nothing underneath—so they also settled in to watch.
The man, unable to hit the woman, cursed while crying.
The woman, perhaps completely furious, suddenly yanked down her strap top... flop!
Wobbling, she cursed loudly, "Come on! If you’re tough enough, kill me. If you don’t, I’ll cheat on you every day!"
Fuck!
Su Huai hurriedly covered Gu Jiuyue’s eyes with his hand, while his peripheral vision involuntarily scanned the scene, mumbling, "This can’t be seen, kids will get styes in their eyes..."
What a chaotic night!
Gu Jiuyue’s young mind was completely scrambled. She had no sense of a romantic date, but she felt that going out with Su Huai was incredibly fun; everything they saw was vivid and lively.
So, in the end, it wasn’t important. What’s important is... the world becomes vibrant because of you.
