What the heck?
But Gu Chengyu's intuition told him that this couldn't be himself, could it?
His finger stopped, and he clicked on it.
The latest message in the chat box was from him telling her to wait for him after class that afternoon.
It really was him.
"SuSu power bank?" Gu Chengyu murmured the note, his voice tinged with doubt.
He looked down at the slightly stiff little girl in his arms. "What's this?"
Su Qianqian hadn't expected him to discover her little secret, and her cheeks flushed instantly. Her eyes darted around, and she murmured softly, "It's just..."
The more she acted like this, the more curious Gu Chengyu became. He pinched her cheek with his fingers and asked, "Hmm? Are you calling me a power bank? Or Su Su?"
Unable to resist his persistent questioning, Su Qianqian buried her flushed face in his chest, her voice muffled, soft, and shy:
"Because sometimes, when I'm very tired or unhappy, I'm like a kitten with low battery."
She paused, her voice even softer, almost inaudible:
"But holding Ah Yu and being pampered by him is like recharging me; I feel much happier and more energetic the next day..."
"So, Ah Yu can also be considered my precious darling~"
So she saved his contact name as "Su Su Power Bank," meaning that he, Gu Chengyu, belonged exclusively to Su Qianqian, a precious treasure that she could rely on and that could replenish her energy.
Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, then let out a low laugh.
He was clearly pleased with this explanation.
"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of amusement, teasing her on purpose: "So that's what you mean."
"Can I continue to recharge Qianqian now?"
Su Qianqian blushed and gently punched him: "Stop talking..."
Gu Chengyu smiled, grabbed her little fist, kissed it, and then stopped teasing her.
He recalled the message from earlier, and his tone returned to normal: "A dinner party on Friday night?"
"Yes, Brother Wang said he needs to be there by five o'clock."
Gu Chengyu said casually, "It's good to go and see for yourself. It's a top-tier event in the entertainment industry, and it will help your future development."
"However, if you don't like it or feel uncomfortable, you don't have to force yourself to cater to other people's opinions."
“Shen Que should be there at the Shen family’s place. If anything happens, go find him.”
"He'll look after you for my sake."
He paused, then clicked his tongue in slight regret:
"My dad had an unavoidable high-level meeting that night, which I agreed to attend. It was estimated to end around seven o'clock, so I couldn't go with you."
I'll come pick you up later.
Su Qianqian nodded obediently: "Okay, I know, I'll be careful."
Looking at her obedient appearance, Gu Chengyu's heart softened, and he lowered his head to kiss the top of her head again: "Qianqian is so good."
——
On Friday, the Shen family banquet hall was brightly lit.
When Su Qianqian arrived, the venue was already filled with elegant ladies and graceful figures.
She wore a light blue strapless dress that perfectly accentuated her shapely figure.
Her appearance immediately attracted countless eyes.
"The newcomer's looks are absolutely stunning."
"The real person is even more attractive than the video."
"Judging from her outfit, it's haute couture, isn't it?"
Brother Wang came up to us promptly and whispered, "Don't be nervous, just follow me. The main thing is to show your face and get noticed."
Su Qianqian nodded, took the champagne offered by the waiter, but didn't drink it, instead looking around with some curiosity.
It was her first time attending such an event, and everything was new and exciting to her.
However, the novelty wore off quickly.
A tall foreign man approached her with a wine glass in his hand, his eyes lingering on her.
