Chapter 391: Chapter 181: Get a House?_2
"Stop guessing, guys, I’m all about pure love; money is like a passing cloud to me."
"Huai’s the man!"
The three of them stood in solemn respect, dazzled by the radiance emanating from Su Huai under the pitch-black sky.
"Tsk tsk, have to admit... impressive."
"Seriously! If it were me, I definitely couldn’t withstand Mr. Gu’s offer, a car worth 500k would’ve been enough for my surrender."
"Bullshit, stop glorifying yourself, if you really had the chance to marry Goddess Gu, you’d be throwing money on top of it!"
"Let’s just imagine for a second, if I were Huai, I could at least hold out till the third round, right?"
"What’s the first round?"
"The first meeting, of course."
"And the second round?"
"Eh, maybe the first time Goddess Gu initiates a conversation with me?"
"Damn, the third round better not be her buying you a bottle of water?"
"No way, spending Goddess Gu’s money? I wouldn’t even dare to think about that, her smiling at me would be more than enough..."
"You’re really TM unambitious!"
"You’re a big shot, how far can you hold out?!"
"I stand steadfast for Nuannuan! I would definitely hold out till the end!"
Su Huai suddenly interjected: "Kuokuo, focus on something real."
"Uh..." Chu Changkuo fell silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "If Goddess Gu hinted at me just once, I might be willing to... postpone things with Nuannuan..."
"Hahaha!"
Gales of laughter erupted, leaving Chu Changkuo completely flustered.
"What the hell is so funny? Apart from Huai, who TM can resist Gu Jiuyue? I don’t cling to those thoughts because I know it’s impossible, but if there was a chance, who wouldn’t go for it?"
Xia Yu sighed, "Indeed, other than Huai, no other man could be so steadfast in love, Huai’s really awesome..."
"Yeah, TM incomprehensible!"
"Mr. Chu, your understanding is too shallow, all you think about is family background and wealth, how vulgar!"
"Damn it, Sao Ji, if you ever bum cigarettes off me or Huai again, you’re as good as a dog’s shit!"
Su Huai listened to their banter with a smiling yet teasing look, finding the joy of fooling children all too entertaining.
Do you actually believe that?
If Gu Tongshu could really procure ’Son of Wind’ and ’Poison’, I wouldn’t know how much respect I would have for him.
Because that’s not about money at all, but a profound love...
Amid the incessant babbling of his idiotic roommates, Su Huai blissfully fell asleep.
In his dream, he was driving an outrageously cool green Lamborghini ’Poison’, tearing from Tiananmen to Nanjing Road, from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge to Taikoo Li, from the entrance of his childhood neighborhood all the way to Central Street... Going wild.
Refusing tens of thousands of black fungus without even batting an eyelash.
The sunlight shone on my forehead, neon lights cast shadows on my cheeks, and the screaming was a send-off, the roaring wave announced my unyielding stance.
Liu Yifei and Nazha came up to chat, and I, with an aloof side glance, waved them off: "You’re not worthy to sit in my copilot."
Well, if fate allows us to meet next time I take out ’Son of Wind’, and your attitudes are good enough, then we’ll see.
In the end, I stopped amidst the attention of thousands, beside one person.
I took off my sunglasses, bestowed a smile, and loudly declared...
"Dad, get in the car!"
...
Su Huai was jolted awake by a start from his dream, confused for quite a while.
What the TM was that?
Such a nice dream, why such a thrilling end?!
Sitting dazed for a while, the phone suddenly rang.
"Yo, Susu, are you up? I’m getting ready to head downstairs!"
"I’ll be right there!"
Su Huai shook his head to dispel the image of the greasy middle-aged man from his mind, leaped out of bed, and rushed out to wash his face.
As usual, he pinched his face in the mirror.
Today he hurriedly decided to make his lips a bit thinner, then his 93-point handsome face dropped to 90 with a click...
Damn it, am I not suited for a domineering boss’s sharp, thin lips?
Su Huai caught a glimpse of the (90) in the parentheses and felt it wasn’t a big deal.
Adjustments don’t take effect immediately, it usually takes a day or two, even three days to grow into place. I’ll thicken it a bit more tomorrow morning, shape the lips, and it should be fine.
Doing it myself is indeed quite troublesome. Once the aesthetics are focused on the details, some things just can’t be taken for granted.
Luckily, there is still plenty of time. Current attractiveness doesn’t count; it’s only after 30 days when everything is firmly set that it really matters. So, there’s no need to rush, I’ll just take it slow.
Throwing on his sportswear, he rushed to the main campus field, where Gu Jiuyue was already warming up.
When Su Huai caught sight of her, there was a guy next to her, saying something.
When the distance closed to about 10 meters, Su Huai let out a chuckle.
"Not bad looking, huh?"
The guy must be at least one meter ninety, with a good build and a healthy bronze complexion, his teeth shining white when he smiled.
However, Gu Jiuyue didn’t pay the boy any attention.
Her expression remained the usual calm and indifferent, focusing on her stretches without engaging in a single word of conversation.
When Su Huai approached within 8 meters, Gu Jiuyue suddenly turned her head, squinting her eyes to look over.
Eight meters wasn’t enough for her to see faces clearly, but she identified Su Huai through a kind of fuzzy perception and immediately broke into a radiant, shallow smile.
"You’re here."
"Yeah, how long have you been warming up?"
Without asking who the boy was or what was going on, Su Huai got straight to the point.
Gu Jiuyue adapted well to this mode of communication, raising her wrist high to check her watch: "Um, four and a half minutes."
"That’s about right, come on, let’s start with a set of Eight-Section Brocade."
"Okay!"
Gu seemed quite happy as she hopped to the side, creating distance between her and Su Huai, then stood behind him at an angle, inhaling and exhaling with focus.
Seeing her like this, Su Huai smiled gently.
He had taught Gu Jiuyue the Vajra Skills some time ago, the results weren’t visible yet, but she was very enthusiastic.
Having such a student made him happy.
Su Huai opened a video stored on his phone, played music along with prompt tones, and started practicing.
"First section, hands pushing up the heavens to regulate the triple burner..."
Zhang Zhishun’s Vajra Skills didn’t involve large movements or any sort of fantasy-like effects. In Su Huai’s view, their main purpose was to activate the muscles and stimulate blood flow because a smooth circulation meant a healthy body.
During practice, a person could clearly feel the body’s major tendons stretching and a tingling sensation as the blood reached the fingertips and toes, creating an overall feeling of being soothed and opened up.
Therefore, while these exercises couldn’t drastically improve cardiorespiratory functions, they could eliminate disease-causing pathogens.
Modern young people either don’t exercise at all or engage in high-intensity aerobic workouts combined with strength training, both of which are not as healthy as practicing Vajra Skills for longevity.
Su Huai always kept an eye on Gu Jiuyue’s condition and led her through the Vajra Skills five times.
By the time they finished, he hadn’t even broken a sweat, while little Gu was practically collapsing.
Her pretty face was flushed, her forehead sweaty, her breathing rapid, and her eyes glazed over.
Hey? Why does this description sound somewhat off...?
Su Huai was a good teacher, not only accompanying her in practice but also offering timely encouragement: "Very good, your movements are getting more accurate, and your strength and rhythm are especially great. Stick with it for another month, and I think you’ll be able to do nine sets in one go."
Gu Jiuyue waved her hand, not responding.
She must be feeling so bad that she can’t even speak, delicate thing...
Su Huai extended his hand, his palm open and facing up, beckoning for a handhold.
Well, actually, it was more of an offer to help.
Gu Jiuyue, of course, didn’t refuse, and even seemed a bit eager as she immediately grasped it.
Walking backwards, Su Huai led her slowly forward.
"Let’s take a slow walk for half a lap, then jog for the remaining half. That should be enough exercise for today."
"Okay!"
Gu Jiuyue nodded and followed Su Huai step by step.
From the side, it looked like a pair of ideal beauties, hand in hand, eyes entwined, strolling outside the track.
The boy was at ease while the girl smiled serenely, unknowingly inspiring envy in many onlookers.
The sportsman who had previously clung to Gu Jiuyue, asking all manner of questions, stood there dumbfounded as he watched the scene, his heart feeling shattered.
He couldn’t even get a response when he tried to chat, yet she smiled so sweetly at another guy...
No, why him?!
He couldn’t figure it out.
But there were also girls who envied Gu Jiuyue.
Su Huai, even at the technology-focused university he attended, was quite the catch, all-rounded and definitely classed as the campus heartthrob, naturally attracting a fair amount of female admiration.
People who knew them well shipped their pairing; those who didn’t, envied and resented them. Quite normal.
Dawdling, they completed half the lap; for the remaining half, Gu Jiuyue felt like she was being tortured again, running to the point of nausea.
Su Huai didn’t drag the conversation further and just took her home, then turned around and ran another 20 laps.
A total of 8000 meters, which seemed to take about 30 minutes. Afterward, he was slightly sweaty but otherwise unfazed, evening out his breathing in half a minute.
The boys and girls who had witnessed the whole process were stunned and couldn’t help thinking: One an animal and the other a weakling; how did these two end up together? Was there no reproductive isolation between them?
Err, judging by the current situation, reproductive isolation wasn’t even up for discussion, as there was a major issue just one step before that...
After returning to his dormitory for a quick shower, Su Huai took advantage of having no classes in the morning and went out to look for a place to live.
With less than 20 million in spending money, buying was definitely out of the question, but he could rent whatever he wanted.
He was planning to find a large place, who knows, it might come in handy in a few days.
On second thought, why just ’might’? Strive to make it handy, rush to make it handy; it must be handy, for the purpose of ’handy’!
