Chapter 716: Chapter 304: Showing True Colors - Part 2
"You’ve got the wrong person."
Gu Jiuyue furrowed his brows, trying his utmost to remain calm, "I’m likable because my family is wealthy. If I were a poor, pitiful wretch, my popularity would definitely be worse than yours. You should be more confident, after all, you’re Susu’s White Moonlight."
Good heavens, even in the unseen void there were blades flashing and swords clashing...
The Destiny’s Intuition from his obedient daughter made Gou Huai realize that if he didn’t interrupt now, he wouldn’t make it out alive.
"Ahem!"
He coughed lightly, brazenly cutting in, "Let’s not be so genteel, what White Moonlight? It’s just first blushes of youth, fantasizing about having kids with whoever appears the prettiest..."
I’m dizzy!
How can this Gou Dongxi be so crude?!
Both Gu Jiuyue and Chen Nuanhan’s ears turned red, the former because he was too innocent to tolerate dirty jokes, while the latter recalled certain images and felt her body heat up.
Different causes, same result—Gou Huai’s interruption meant they both lost the desire to continue this topic.
The peril of White Moonlight and cinnabar moles was deftly defused.
"Mind your status..."
Gu subtly hinted, just starting to speak up when Chen Nuanhan immediately chimed in, "Exactly, you now represent more than just the Big Data class, don’t be as brazen as before."
Ugh, why are you stealing my lines?
Gu grew increasingly annoyed, pursing her lips and looking towards Su Huai.
Of course, she knew Chen Nuanhan had the right to offer advice and show concern to Su Huai, but understanding didn’t equal liking. Today was my birthday, and this is our class!
Su Huai and Chen Nuanhan both noticed her gaze and likewise deciphered her emotions.
The message was clear—Help me!
Chen Nuanhan’s smile froze on her face, envious of the freedom to openly pout for help anytime, anyplace. Unfortunately, she didn’t know when, but she had lost that freedom.
As for Su Huai, he didn’t think twice before firmly backing up Gu.
"Who else would I represent here if not the Big Data class? All those external statuses are for scheming and making money to support the family, but who cares about that mess in our own class?"
Gou Huai’s first remark was pointed, instantly brightening up Gu’s mood.
Chen Nuanhan, on the other hand, heard a cracking sound at her teeth as her Favorability Rating dropped a whole eight points.
Then, Gou Huai looped back, "Hey, Nuannuan, you’re also representing the E-commerce class and our Daqing No.1 High, aren’t you? If you really want to join, why don’t you ask me nicely?"
This cheeky, non-serious demeanor would seem frivolous to anyone, but when a person is handsome enough, it just doesn’t seem fair—the expressions that would look sleazy on Huang Bo come off flirtatious on Su Huai.
Chen Nuanhan looked at Gou Huai’s mischievous profile and her mind went blank.
Eh? You dare to let me go?
She didn’t understand, instinctively suspecting there might be a catch.
In fact, there was no issue—it was all a stalling tactic. Gou Huai thought as long as he could placate Chen Nuanhan face to face, he didn’t care if things blew up later.
Chen was still too naïve, easily unravelled by Su Huai.
As she began to have doubts, her resolve weakened, and she forced a dry laugh, "No need, I don’t actually want to go that badly, how could I have the heart to trouble you with looking after so many sisters and younger siblings?"
Chen Nuanhan closed that door on herself, using a tone of sarcasm as a small consolation. Too bad it no longer mattered.
Gu Jiuyue wasn’t happy to see Su Huai flirting with Chen in front of her, but since Su Huai did resolve her issue with Chen Nuanhan, overall, she was quite satisfied.
Just then, Su Huai shrugged indifferently and countered, "Then why don’t you go back to class? Where has all your ’Three Obediences and Four Virtues’ gone?"
"Tch!"
Chen Nuanhan took one last look at Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue, turned decisively, and strode towards the door.
Before she even left, the class erupted in murmurs.
"What was she here for, anyway?"
"I thought there was going to be a showdown over a love rival, and that’s it?"
"I don’t get it, I just don’t get it."
Nearly everyone was puzzled, unable to grasp what Chen Nuanhan was up to.
All over the place, lacking coherence, illogical—it seemed all to be idle moves and wasted effort.
Gu Jiuyue couldn’t understand either and couldn’t help asking, "What did she come here for?"
Su Huai might be the only person who guessed the truth, but he couldn’t dare to explain, unable to brush it off easily, he vaguely hinted.
"Who knows? Perhaps she wanted to infiltrate the enemy camp, act as a spy?"
It sounded just like teasing. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Gu Jiuyue chuckled, playfully rebuking, "You’re teasing me again~~~"
Sigh, I wish I were just teasing you...
Gou Huai sighed heavily in his heart, scalp tingling.
If Chen Nuanhan desired and dared, with persistent effort, she had the ability to befriend anyone, that kind of friend who mixes as smoothly as honey in yogurt.
No matter if it was Gu Jiuyue, Pei Shuyu, Zhang Dayi, Cheese, Quanquan, Li Ziqi... none could hold out.
Emotional perception + interpersonal skills + time management, aren’t these precisely for interacting with people?
You’re wary of her once or twice, used to her after five or eight times, and a year later, you can’t do without her, and eating out isn’t as delightful on your own.
Chen Nuanhan really could achieve this extent; before, she just couldn’t be bothered to make the effort, preferring to live capriciously and freely.
But now... she seemed to be turning a bit dark.
At least in Su Huai’s view, there were signs of this.
