Chapter 165 Settling Accounts After the Autumn Harvest
The next second, Gu Ji felt a jolt in his back, and Tian Ya's slightly irritated voice rang in his ears, "Little girl, hurry up and tell me, don't push your luck."
"Hehe, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Gu Ji knew that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. "Grandma's youngest son is very handsome. He was the one who ordered milk tea last time."
Song Jin couldn't help but click her tongue a few times, "Zhao Zhao, what good fortune did you accumulate in your past life? You have a grandmother as knowledgeable and kind as Professor Zhou, and an uncle who dotes on his niece."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ji felt a sudden pang of panic.
She dared not imagine how they would react if they knew that the Professor Zhou they were talking about was her boyfriend.
Thinking of this, I quietly sent a message to Dan Anwen.
Kid: Uncle Dan, you really are a femme fatale.
Uncle Dan: What do you mean? Besides, I'm just your femme fatale.
Little friend: Your glorious deeds are still being told in the school.
Uncle Dan: In the future, you will be so outstanding that your deeds will be passed down by word of mouth throughout the school.
Little one: Thank you for your kind words. (Love you)
Seeing Gu Ji's bright smile, Song Jin suddenly asked, "Zhao Zhao, are you chatting with your boyfriend?"
Gu Ji smiled and nodded, his mind not on Song Jin's words at all.
"I haven't met your boyfriend yet." Tian Ya looked at Gu Ji. "But you've met my boyfriend. When are you going to bring him out to meet us?"
Tian Ya's boyfriend also studies in Nan'an City. His school's military training ended early, so he came to visit Tian Ya at the school and treated her and her dorm to a meal.
“Yeah, I don’t even know what your boyfriend looks like.” Ji Wanmiao chimed in.
Song Jin chuckled, her tone quite smug, "I met Zhao Zhao's boyfriend when school started, and his face is absolutely stunning."
"So we're the only ones who haven't seen it before?" Tian Ya said. "Then we'll have to see just how stunning it is sometime."
"Definitely, definitely." Gu Ji used eating potato chips to cover up his inner pretense.
Who knows when that will be? But they did give her a heads-up.
"Could you please not tell my grandma about my relationship? She doesn't know yet." Gu Ji moved chairs over, pressed them down to sit, and took turns massaging their shoulders.
"He doesn't want to take responsibility?" Song Jin paused in his act of stuffing potato chips into his mouth.
“Um…” Gu Ji blinked. “I’m not ready to meet your parents yet.”
She discovered that Song Jin's thought process was sometimes very similar to Guan Xiang's; their first reaction was that Uncle Dan was irresponsible.
"Don't worry, our mouths are sealed tight." Tian Ya made a zipping motion over her mouth.
Yoshimi nodded.
Gu Ji's heart, which had just been at ease, jumped again the next second. He heard Song Jin say, "We won't tell anyone, but the whole class knows you're dating."
She felt that the whole class would soon find out that Zhao Zhao and Professor Zhou were related as grandfather and granddaughter.
Gu Ji paused in her hand as she reached for the water glass; how could she have forgotten about this?
Seeing Gu Ji's dejected face, the group exchanged glances and comforted her, "People in the class wouldn't talk about your boyfriend to Professor Zhou for no reason, so it shouldn't be discovered."
"Really?" A glimmer of hope rekindled in Gu Ji's gloomy eyes.
"Mhm." The group nodded in unison, as if to reassure Gu Ji.
On the first day of military training, her swollen lips and bright red hickeys on her fair neck immediately caught the attention of some experienced girls, and she did not deny that she had a boyfriend.
She's really dug herself a hole.
Thinking of this, Gu Ji puffed out his cheeks and sent a message to Dan Anwen, his fingers almost sparking as he tapped the screen.
Kid: I won't get a goodnight kiss next week.
Uncle Dan: What's wrong? Did I make you angry?
Uncle Dan: Baby, don't be angry, it's all my fault.
Although Dan Anwen didn't know what he had done wrong, it was never wrong to admit his mistake first.
Gu Ji saw the message that he had admitted his mistake, but pretended not to see it at all.
After not receiving any news for half a day, Dan Anwen was at a loss. She thought of bringing a gift to pick her up from school after work and asking her properly.
They had no idea that Gu Ji was settling scores later.
......
"Xiangxiang, did you have a fight with Dan Si?" Gu Ji asked Guan Xiang on the phone from the balcony.
Guan Xiang's weak voice came from the other end of the phone, "Dan Si is looking for you?"
Gu Ji sensed a hint of nervousness in Guan Xiang's voice.
"He didn't contact me, but you didn't attend his birthday party last night." Gu Ji thought of Dan Si's hesitant and reserved manner last night.
She searched around and found that Guan Xiang hadn't come. She called her but no one answered. If Dan Si hadn't said that she was alright, she probably would have gone to her house to look for her.
"It's...it's just..." Guan Xiang stammered, unable to come up with a reason for a long time.
Gu Ji sat down on the wicker chair on the balcony, swinging his legs slightly, and asked bluntly, "What exactly happened to you?"
She remembered that the last time the two of them had a falling out was in their first year of high school, and since then their relationship had been very good.
Dan Si, in particular, though his words are sharp, his actions always tell others that he likes Guan Xiang.
Only Guan Xiang, a very straightforward woman, wouldn't notice.
Guan Xiang bit her lower lip, then simply closed her eyes and said, "Dan Si confessed to me."
After she finished speaking, Guan Xiang noticed a moment of silence from Gu Ji on the other end of the phone.
Her tone was slightly tense and confused, "Zhao Zhao, are you still listening?"
"Yes, yes." Gu Ji blinked incredulously and closed his slightly open mouth.
"I don't know how to face him now." Guan Xiang's voice was trembling with tears. "Why would he like me out of the blue? We've known each other for over ten years, we're so familiar with each other."
"This is so embarrassing!" Guan Xiang was about to roar.
Gu Ji had no mind to listen to Guan Xiang right now. She hadn't expected Dan Si to be so brave as to confess his feelings to Guan Xiang.
It seems something has triggered Dan Si.
"You don't like Dan Si?" Gu Ji asked.
"Of course not... I don't like it." Guan Xiang paused for a moment.
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "Xiangxiang, you hesitated."
Guan Xiang stubbornly insisted, "I was just experiencing a slight lag."
Gu Ji was both amused and exasperated; one was hiding his feelings, while the other harbored affection but was unaware of it.
She looks a bit like her and Uncle Dan.
However, given the current tense and awkward relationship between the two, it's important to ease the tension as soon as possible.
Before Gu Ji could speak, Guan Xiang's hesitant voice came over, "I think I like it a little, but I don't really like it either."
Guan Xiang is also confused right now; she doesn't know whether she likes Dan Si or not.
When Dan Si confessed his feelings to her yesterday morning, she was completely stunned and ended up running away in a panic.
After returning home, she couldn't concentrate on anything and kept thinking about Dan Si's feelings for her.
“You’re just having trouble accepting the change in your feelings right now,” Gu Ji said incisively.
Imagine how it would feel if your childhood friend of over ten years confessed their love to you.
It's strange, yet I can't help but feel an irresistible urge.
