Chapter 741: Chapter 314: How Should I Knock on This Bamboo Pole?
Gu Tongshu ultimately failed to arrive in time.
By the time he got there, Gu had already leapt forward.
Her horse-face dress fluttering, she was like a narcissus blooming in the light of the moon, rushing to Su Huai in just a few steps.
The teenager stood up in time, extending his hand to help her.
But the girl, mustering courage from who knows where, flung herself into his embrace, tossed the bouquet of roses aside, wrapped her arms around the boy’s neck, and with a pop, pecked his cheek.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa~~~~"
The cheers and jeers from the audience below soared to the heavens.
The girls, watching the golden boy and Jade Maiden wrapped in the spotlight, clapped wildly and screamed incessantly.
"Together!"
"Together!"
"Together!"
At first, there were different shouts, but under Huang Mengting’s lead, the teasing voices gradually became uniform, turning into the most sincere chant for "together."
Su Huai, on the other hand, didn’t have any particular reaction and just felt quite thrilled.
Showing off is a basic human need; he had just put on quite a show and it was only right to receive any kind of feedback.
But Gu Jiuyue was different; her courage came as quickly as it left. Suddenly pushing Su Huai away, she crouched down to pick up the discarded flowers, held them out with both hands.
"Susu, you’re so cool, these are for you!"
Watching Gu’s face turn bright red with embarrassment, Su Huai didn’t dare to tease her, fearing any accident, so he accepted the bouquet with both hands and thanked her with a smile.
"Thank you! Do you like it?"
"Yeah!" Gu nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling, "Super like it!"
Music, the most important thing is the empathy it creates.
"Moonlight" is a painfully classic and depressive masterpiece; people who are sunny and optimistic find it hard to appreciate. Yet Su Huai not only made the effort to learn it, but even rearranged the original song to be so tender and firm; the depth of his sentiment was beyond words.
To respond to sincerity with sincerity, Gu Xiaojiu was extremely satisfied.
"If you like it, then my effort wasn’t wasted." Su Huai asked softly, "So, do you still want to play the piano together?" 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Of course, Gu Jiuyue wanted to, but at that moment, her legs were a bit weak.
"Wait, wait a bit... I need to rest for a while..."
Su Huai watched with wide eyes as her cheeks went from rosy to pale, not daring to be careless, and quickly took her hand, ready to lead her down from the stage.
With her physical condition, every time her cheeks flushed could be a major strain on her heart’s blood supply function.
The two, holding hands, walked off the stage and the first thing they saw was Gu, arms crossed and planted beneath the stage.
Gu Jiuyue’s fingers tightened, the force increasing a bit as she turned her head, not daring to look at him.
Su Huai had no choice but to hold up the yellow flag and took the initiative to greet: "Uncle, that expression, you seem a bit disappointed."
"Pfft!"
Gu Jiuyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud, quickly turning her head and covering her mouth, pretending not to hear.
And Gu Tongshu... his nostrils flared with irritation.
"Kid, you actually dare... you really..."
Mr. Gu gritted his teeth but didn’t dare to raise his voice, squeezing out a few words through clenched teeth, unable to fully express his intent.
Su Huai, surprised, raised an eyebrow: "Me? Am I not the victim here? Your precious princess stamped her approval on me in front of everyone, hey!"
Damn!
Gu Tongshu was dumbfounded, this Puppy really didn’t care about shame at all...
He wanted to tear Su Huai apart, now, immediately, right away.
His coconut-sized fists clenched tight, but he couldn’t find the footing to strike out.
Damn, it really was my daughter throwing herself at him, how do I handle this?!
Gu Tongshu was utterly bewildered and blocked up, a sense of unease rising in his chest, feeling like there was a problem with his lungs.
Thankfully, Wang Lezhi arrived quickly.
She was the first to take Gu Jiuyue into her arms, asking gently, "Baby, how are you? Auntie knows you’re happy, but you need to control your emotions a bit~~~"
"I’m okay."
Gu Jiuyue, weakly nestled in Wang Lezhi’s arms, protested: "Quickly look after dad, he’s bullying Susu again!"
Gu Tongshu’s vision went dark.
But indeed, he didn’t dare to spew harsh words at Su Huai anymore, feeling unworthy, sobbing internally!
"There, sit down, dear!"
He hurriedly made space, accompanying Wang Lezhi to escort Gu to her seat, bent over humbly, no longer dealing with Gou Huai.
Su Huai shrugged and took a seat on the other side of Gu.
Wang Lezhi on the left, Su Huai on the right, and Gu Tongshu crouching in front of Gu.
Hey, to go against Sky Gang!
But instead of being angry, Wang Lezhi was very interested and started a casual conversation.
"Su, where did you find those lyrics? So romantic!"
Gu Tongshu suddenly looked up, infuriated that she considered it romantic: He’s seducing my precious daughter!
Before he had the chance to object, Wang Lezhi added, "Gu never wooed me like that, always money, money, mundane as a mallet, lacking talents compared to you by miles..."
Biu, immediately Gu bowed his head down again, deflated.
Although his words were harsh, they were true.
If compared with Su Huai in romantic flair, he himself and Puppy seemed to have a slight... gap.
Su Huai felt no pride, modestly replied: "Not at all, not at all, auntie overpraises, it was just stacking up fancy words."
"Oh my, the more talented men are, the more modest they are, as expected!"
Wang Lezhi kept on praising, hugging Gu close, and continued to ask: "What was that blessing about? I only caught the gist, now I’m really curious."
Gu, who had been feeling quite unwell, with tightness in her chest, immediately looked up, her piercing gaze fixed on Su Huai.
Liao Sheng casually replied, "I wrote the text version in the message book."
Gu Jiuyue instantly turned her head, and Ding Yi was the first to present the message book, which she eagerly opened and flipped to the last page, carefully reading it.
