Chapter 770: The Mermaid (33)
That's not actually how he put it. Saying it that way wouldn't convince his father, who was desperate for a grandson. He just wouldn't tell Wen Wan the specifics. His method was to scare her away and take things slowly.
Wen Wan was happy that the problem was temporarily solved, but she didn't realize what the gaze fixed on her meant.
"However, there's one more thing that might require your cooperation," Gu Chuan said.
"What is it?"
"While I have ways to prevent online discussions about us from arising, I can't stop people's curiosity. Moreover, your identity will put you in great danger. After all, in this world, it's dangerous for a mermaid to be without a powerful backer."
"What should I do then? Maybe I should just hide and never go out again."
Gu Chuan: "There's another way, which is to make me your overt support. As long as I'm standing behind you, no one can touch you, and you can continue to do whatever you want. No one will dare to restrict your freedom."
Wen Wan: "Are you... going to become sworn siblings with me?"
Gu Chuan: "..."
What kind of thought process does this idiot have? It seems it will take a long time for him to achieve his goal, but he has plenty of time.
"No, we can get engaged first, and then announce that we are a couple."
Wen Wan: "What? How can that be? Why don't you become sworn brothers with me? After all, women are like clothes, and brothers are like limbs."
Dating the male lead? That's insane!
Gu Chuan rubbed his temples. "What nonsense are you talking about? Besides, this is just a temporary measure, the best solution at this moment. I won't do anything to you. Do you trust me?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan was a little startled and quickly asked the system she could consult.
"System, what should we do? Is this feasible?"
The system suppressed its inner joy: [Feasible, of course it's feasible! You become Gu Chuan's officially announced girlfriend and fiancée, so the female lead is even less likely to fall for Gu Chuan. This unwanted romantic advance will naturally disappear. Plus, you'll have a reason to stay by Gu Chuan's side. Although Chen Yuan's main target is you right now, who knows when he might suddenly target the male lead? You can protect him from the shadows.]
[And you're not at a loss either. The male lead is so handsome; getting engaged to such a pleasing-to-the-eye person is a win-win situation.]
Wen Yan: "..."
That makes a lot of sense.
Wen Wan nodded in agreement, rendering Gu Chuan's prepared arguments useless.
After that, Gu Chuan stopped suppressing the online public opinion, and it exploded instantly. Everyone was discussing the relationship between the two of them.
Finally, Gu Chuan quickly finalized the engagement with the old marshal.
This also put the old marshal's mind at ease, proving that what his son said was true, and he could truly rest assured that his son would be lonely in the future. If he died, what face would he have to face his wife?
After setting a date, they announced their engagement online.
Although the news was expected by many, it still broke the hearts of Gu Chuan's female fans and wife fans.
However, most people still offered their blessings.
After all, they are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they seem quite compatible.
The internet was buzzing like it was Chinese New Year, while Wen Wan returned to school and was surrounded by gossipers.
They were just gossiping about her relationship with Gu Chuan, how they met, and how she won over this unattainable beauty.
Wen Wan's story was so sincere and earnest that she almost portrayed Gu Chuan as a simp. Of course, it was Gu Chuan who pursued her first; he fell in love with her at first sight.
As a result, many people admired Wen Wan very much.
Chen Yuan has been very high-profile lately, and a major event occurred while Wen Wan was away.
That is, Chen Yuan defeated the student president of the second year.
At the First Military Academy, there are vastly different levels of strength, and there are very few who can challenge those of higher levels, let alone the most powerful student president.
Wen Wan's gossip is naturally surprising, but as a military academy student, her challenge to the student president is even more eye-catching.
Chen Yuan's status in the first grade skyrocketed, and he even became the undisputed number one in the first grade.
This put Wen Wan in a somewhat awkward position.
After all, it's an ironclad rule that the student president is the most outstanding student. Wen Wan has never won since she entered the school. In fact, it can be said that she has never sparred with anyone. Even during the island trials, it was Haitang and the others who did the hard work. It's just that her strong mental strength and lucky koi physique are too special. But recently, there have been some rumors that she has no strength, only luck.
They even split into three factions.
One faction supports Chen Yuan and wants him to become the new student president.
One faction supports Wen Wan, partly because of her lucky charm, but partly because of Gu Chuan.
After all, Gu Chuan's influence on these military academy students was immeasurable.
Countless legends have been passed down about it.
There's also a group of people who are simply watching the show; whether Wen Wan continues as student president or Chen Yuan becomes the new student president, that's fine with them.
After Wen Wan was given a righteous and indignant explanation by Haitang and Lingzi, Haitang scolded her the most.
"Who does Chen Yuan think he is? Should I go and teach him a lesson? He's just a piece of trash with only A-level mental strength."
Wen Wan chuckled, "No need. Besides, he's more than an A-level now. That was ages ago. And I'm not angry, so you don't need to be either. It's a matter of the capable taking the position. I'm not interested in being the student president either. If I hadn't been elected and couldn't abstain, I would have abstained long ago."
Haitang: "..."
"Actually, it wouldn't be bad to have a more motivated student president. After all, I'm just a nobody here, I just want to be a lazy bum. If Chen Yuan wants it, then take it."
Haitang and Lingzi: "..."
Reiko asked, "Are you really not upset at all?"
Wen Wan: "I couldn't be happier."
Alright, if the emperor isn't in a hurry, the eunuchs shouldn't be either. Since A-Yuan doesn't care, they don't need to care too much either.
After that, Wen Wan planned to wait for Chen Yuan to usurp the throne, but before Chen Yuan could usurp the throne, Wen Wan became famous again.
Because her classmates suddenly uncovered another layer of her identity, it has to be said that military academy students are rather slow to catch up on gossip.
After learning that she was Ah Yuan and loved braised pork, they went crazy trying all sorts of delicious food, and even the principal came.
The purpose was actually to have her teach the cafeteria chefs how to cook, so as to improve the students' meals.
Wen Yan: "..."
Then, inexplicably, Wen Wan became a big star again, gaining a large number of fans.
The student president resigned?
Impossible. If she were the student president, Wen Wan would have no reason to refuse the principal. After all, one should fulfill one's duties in a position of power. In order to eat delicious food in the future and no longer drink any nutritional supplements, the support of these military academy students is very simple: just let her stay in the position of student president.
