Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 163 - 87 What a Fcking Surprise_3
Chapter 163: Chapter 87: What a F*cking Surprise!_3 Chapter 163 -87: What a F*cking Surprise!_3 Looking from behind at an angle, all one could see was the translucent lobe of her ear, the smooth contour of her jawline advancing forward, and a slight upward curl of her lips.
In fact, there was nothing particularly remarkable to see, but her hair fluttering in the wind combined with her ivory profile was strikingly reminiscent of the youth Su Huai had long forgotten.
Damn it, why does every one of her gestures hit me so hard?
Internally cursing the absurdity, Su Huai quietly positioned himself to her side and slightly behind her.
Then Xiao Fugui and Chuchu both stopped in their tracks—they were unfamiliar with Su Huai’s scent, as he had never fed them even once in this lifetime.
Gu Jiuyue called out to them several times but failed to make smooth contact, soon realizing where the problem lay, and turned her head to look back.
Su Huai was also looking at her.
He wanted to know how she would react; it was a kind of personality test.
Unexpectedly, her response surprised him.
Gu Jiuyue indeed felt a profound sense of regret, with an expression that was unguarded, yet she didn’t blame Su Huai. Instead, she got up reluctantly, exhaling a sigh.
“It seems today is not the right time to bond with them…”
Gou Huai’s heart skipped a beat once more.
Should such understanding really be expected from an 18-year-old girl?
Suddenly feeling somewhat ashamed, he took a step back willingly.
“There’s still time, you can try again; I’ll move away a bit, wait for you over there.”
“No need!”
Gu Jiuyue’s mood inexplicably recovered, she dusted off her hands breezily, and earnestly told Su Huai, “Monitor, you’re also my friend. Today it’s you who is accompanying me around the campus; I can play with them another time.”
This was the longest sentence Gu Jiuyue had ever spoken to Su Huai since they met, and also the third heavy blow she had dealt to him that day.
Gou Huai was completely numb.
This woman’s eccentricity…
Actually, there were some logical leaps between the three sentences; she had omitted some details, but it didn’t detract from the sincerity of her feelings.
Su Huai couldn’t pull her in at all, his usual techniques useless, and he could only respond dryly, “Alright, friend, shall we continue walking?”
“Let’s go!”
Perhaps it was due to the encounter with the kittens, or perhaps it was the mutual acknowledgment of “friendship,” Gu Jiuyue’s spirits lifted a bit afterward, and she finally started chatting with Su Huai.
“Gu, why do you like cats so much?”
“Because they are free yet fragile.”
An unexpected answer followed by a succinct allusion to her own childhood.
“Like when I was little. So I’ve always wanted to raise two cats, but my family wouldn’t allow it… for the sake of my health.”
Su Huai understood.
“So, when your health allowed, your first wish was to have a cat?”
“Just one? How could that be enough?”
Gu Jiuyue lifted her right hand, spread her slender fingers, and exaggeratedly said, “At least five, right? Preferably of different breeds…”
Su Huai guessed her wish might be hard to fulfill.
Zhang Yaowen had briefly mentioned that her cardiovascular problems made her lungs fragile as well; brief interactions with furry pets might not cause much harm, but extended exposure could be damaging.
Su Huai felt a moment of silence before awkwardly changing the subject.
“Look, there are people giving me that kind of look again… walking with you is really high-pressure… ”
“Don’t let others’ superficial judgments bother you.”
She consoled Su Huai with utmost sincerity, “Looks aren’t that important. If they can’t see your true strengths, it’s their loss.”
Makes sense.
You really are a good girl.
Comforted, Su Huai inquired, “Then what are my true strengths?”
“Um…”
After a pause, Gu Jiuyue replied seriously, “You have good mental resilience and can handle stress well.”
Damn!
The logic has come full circle!
Su Huai was speechless, continuing the topic that was clearly heading in an unfavorable direction.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
“Uh, what do you mean?”
With a firm stance, Gu Jiuyue replied, “Since middle school started, you’re the first boy who could talk to me normally.”
Alright, alright, You’ve managed to phrase ‘thick-skinned’ so delicately, thanks!
Su Huai tried to salvage the conversation, pushing again, “Could it be possible that because you were hardly at school during middle and high school, others didn’t get familiar with you?”
“Impossible.”
Gu Jiuyue decisively jabbed another knife into Gou Huai, “When they first met me, they couldn’t even speak. And you, you didn’t even care that my grandmother was there…”
Dizzy!
Su Huai no longer wanted to struggle.
Forget it, just deflect; why make it so complicated!
“I’m your class monitor, entrusted with a mission by Director Zhang and Professor Cheng to befriend you. Do you know how much pressure I’m under? You should thank me!”
“Oh, thank you.”
Gu Jiuyue obediently nodded and expressed her thanks, and then suddenly asked out of the blue, “Is she also one of the sources of your pressure?”
What the heck?
Su Huai didn’t understand and turned his head to look at her.
“What ‘he’?”
Gu Jiuyue gently gestured toward the left diagonal front with her head.
“There’s a group of girls over there staring at us. I can’t see clearly, but it seems like the one in the lead is very angry…”
To the left were the teaching buildings.
On hearing this, Su Huai looked over and instantly felt a chill run down his spine, his scalp tingling.
Chen Nuanhan and her roommates were standing on the side steps of the teaching building, and they had apparently been there for an unknown length of time.
Old Chen looked stern, her eyes radiating a chilling gleam.
Great, what a truly “fantastic” surprise!
