Chapter 402 Who are you kidding!

In the suite booked by Zhou Wansheng at the Jiangshi Hotel, everyone gathered together.

The adults were discussing the banquet arrangements for tomorrow. Chu Yan got up and went to Gu Yin's side, gesturing to Gu Le to move to another seat.

Upon seeing this, Gu Le got up and sat in Chu Yan's original seat.

The others glanced at it but paid no more attention and continued their conversation.

Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yan shook his head and sat there in a daze.

Gu Yin: "..." What's with this strange atmosphere?

Just as Gu Yin was about to ask him more questions, her hand under the table was grabbed by a pair of burning hands.

Gu Yin looked down and saw Chu Yan playing with his fingers.

"I'm going back to school tomorrow night. Since you're starting school, I won't be able to see you off."

After waiting for a while, Chu Yan's deep voice came over. Gu Yin looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing his words, Gu Yin smiled and said, "It's okay, your studies are important. Besides, I'm already so familiar with Beijing, and I probably won't wait until the start of the semester to go there. The teachers are already urging me, so even if I wanted to send you there then, I probably wouldn't be able to."

Chu Yan gently squeezed her pink fingertips and whispered, "I heard that every year when freshmen register, the upperclassmen are very enthusiastic, helping the freshmen with their luggage, showing them around the school, treating them to meals, inviting them to the library to study, and there are also hometown associations and all sorts of clubs, etc. After getting to know them, they will confess their feelings. You are so good-looking, you will definitely get a lot of attention. You'll be in the same class every day, someone will bring you an umbrella when it rains, someone will accompany you to meals. When you compare yourself to them, you will feel that I can't do anything, and it's even difficult to see each other. Won't you regret it?"

In high school, it wasn't a big deal, since the teachers were strict and the tough guys in school knew about their relationship. But in college, there were just too many outstanding people. It seemed that apart from her family background and looks, she wasn't particularly outstanding in any other way. Besides, A-Yin's family background was top-notch, so she didn't care about that aspect at all. Her only advantage, her looks, seemed useless in daily life. So Chu Yan was really unsure of himself and even a little insecure, because Gu Yin was a really, really good girl!

Seeing the unease in Yan's eyes, Gu Yin smiled, grabbed his hands, and held them tightly.

“I’m not that free. I haven’t even gone to Beijing yet, and my teacher has already prepared a lot of tasks for me. I’m actually glad you’ve been abroad these past two years. After all, once I get busy, I can’t find you anywhere. If you were in China, I wouldn’t have time to spend with you. As for the various groups you mentioned, I don’t plan to participate. I’d rather use that time to do one more experiment, write one more paper, take good care of myself, and wait for you to come back.”

Chu Yan was amused by her last sentence, even though she was still sad.

"Wait for me? Am I that unimportant?" Chu Yan said, squeezing Gu Yin's hand with a pitiful expression.

Gu Yin thought for a moment and nodded: "If you study hard abroad and come back safely, your importance in my heart will increase a little bit. But if you come back thinner, well, that's hard to say~"

Seeing that no one around was looking over, Chu Yan quickly reached out and pinched Gu Yin's cheek: "I will take good care of myself. As for you, you forget to eat when you get busy. Why don't you apply to live at home? I'll have one of Aunt Zhu's apprentices work as a chef at your house. He mainly works in the food industry. Nothing is more important than your health. If you're free on the weekend, you can come to my house and enjoy Aunt Zhu's cooking!"

After Chu Yan finished speaking, he saw that Gu Yin remained silent. He looked up at her and then saw that her gaze was directed behind him. Chu Yan turned around and saw Gu Shu standing with her hands on her hips, staring at the top of his head.

Chu Yan: "..." Chu Yan released Gu Yin's hands, got up from the dining table, and pulled Gu Shu towards the door.

Gu Shu glared at him angrily: "You'd better explain to me what's going on?!"

Good heavens! He had just turned around to look for Ayin when he saw Chu Yan pinch Ayin's cheek and then hold Ayin's hand tightly!

After pulling the person out, Chu Yan closed the door again and then looked at Gu Shu.

What did you see?

Gu Shu put his hands on his hips and shouted, "I saw everything!"

Chu Yan leaned against the wall, arms crossed: "Now that you've seen it all, what do you want to ask?"

"No way, I treat you like a brother, and you're trying to hit on my sister?!" He lowered his voice when he said the last sentence, but the anger in his tone was obviously not small.

“Let’s each keep our own accounts. After all, we met together, and besides, you know me inside and out. We know everything about my character and family. Tell me, what’s wrong with me? Can you find someone better than me? Ayin will grow up, find a partner, and get married. I understand if you’re worried about her being deceived or taken advantage of if she’s with someone else, since they’re strangers. But if you’re still worried about her being with me, I just don’t understand! What’s wrong with me?”

Gu Shu scratched his head: "This isn't about what you're lacking! My sister is still young! Don't you understand? Yes, you know her inside and out, and Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu are both very nice! If my sister hadn't skipped a grade, wouldn't you be having an early romance? That's absolutely unacceptable!"

Chu Yan pursed his lips, looked away, and muttered, "We're not even together yet, what's the rush?"

Gu Shu reached out and poked Chu Yan's face: "...You were like this just now! And you're still not together?! Who are you kidding!"

Chu Yan slapped his hand away and said irritably, "Ayin won't be an adult until next year. She won't agree to be with me until she's an adult. We've agreed that we'll be together when we're adults. Besides, I'll be abroad for the next two years and will be very busy so I won't have time to date. So it's perfect to wait until I'm an adult. I'll graduate early and come back so we can be together then. So you don't need to worry! And Uncle Gu and the other adults basically know about our situation, they just haven't said it outright. After all, we're still young, so there's really no rush."

Gu Shu thought about it and agreed, so he lowered his arm and said, "Alright, then remember what you said, A-Yin is still young! Let's go in."

"Wait a minute!" Chu Yan grabbed Gu Shu.

Gu Shu asked in confusion, "What?"

Chu Yan coughed lightly: "Ahem, could you keep an eye on Ayin for me at school? Make sure no other ill-intentioned brats get close to her!"

Gu Shu looked at him amusedly: "What, can't you see for yourself? I'm not doing it!"

Chu Yan: "Aren't you studying finance? I'll send you some classic cases that my advisor and I discussed on Wall Street later."

Gu Shu's eyes lit up: "Deal! But I won't do any of that kind of supervision or anything!"

Chu Yan patted him on the shoulder: "I'm not asking you to do any of that. Just let me know if you see any ill-intentioned people." As for how he would tell Gu Yin, that was their private matter.
