Chapter 108: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (19)
Wen Wan looked at Gu Sheng with some concern, "Are you really alright? You drank so much."
Gu Sheng looked at Wen Wan and said, "I'm fine. You should go back now. Your aunt and uncle are waiting for you."
"Are you really okay? Call me when you get home. I'm off now?"
Wen Wan and Liu's parents went home, and Gu Sheng took Grandma Gu and her sister home.
Wen Wan returned home, and Liu's mother took care of Liu's father to rest. Wen Wan held her phone, waiting for Gu Sheng to call her to let her know she was safe. The system saw its host like this and realized that she had clearly taken a liking to the male lead, which was not a good sign.
[Host, do you remember that you are on a mission?]
"What's wrong?"
[As I said, it's all an act. Now that the male lead has successfully passed his college entrance exam, your wish has been fulfilled, and you've even eliminated all reasons for his suicide attempt, can we continue with the mission?]
Wen Yan: "..."
Gu Sheng called at that moment.
"How's the mission progressing now?"
[36/100.]
Moreover, readers have started shipping their own host with Gu Sheng again. These people really love shipping cults. Isn't the official pairing good enough?
“But Gu Sheng doesn’t like me, so how can I break up with him?” Wen Wan asked again.
[Host, you're just making excuses.] The system felt that if the host continued to deceive it like this, it would probably have to attend the host and the male lead's wedding again.
"I didn't," Wen Wan immediately denied, saying she was just telling the truth.
[Host, you need to think this through. If the mission cannot be completed, you will die, and I will die with you. So, host, you must stay clear-headed. The mission is the priority.]
Gu Sheng: "..."
The phone stopped ringing, then rang again a while later.
And you've already done everything you could, haven't you?
"Then what should I do?"
...
Gu Sheng made three calls in a row on the other end, but no one answered. He was a little puzzled, thinking that the other party might be busy with something, but even the next day, no calls came in on his phone.
Gu Sheng frowned, and just then Wei Cheng called. Gu Sheng started working, but her mind was elsewhere.
In the afternoon, Gu Sheng went to the Liu family's house.
Aunt Liu opened the door for him. "Little Gu? Are you here to see Miss? Miss was called away by her friends to go out and have fun."
Did she say when she would be back?
"No, you didn't say that. Is something urgent? Why don't you tell me, and I'll pass it on to Miss when she gets back?"
"I'm fine, I'll go back now."
Wen Wan was invited by Chu Yanran to a coffee shop. Originally, Wen Wan did not want to have any contact with Chu Yanran, but the system said that Chu Yanran was a fairly important character in the plot, and a major force behind Liu Yayue's betrayal and tragic fate later on.
Moreover, since Wen Wan is going to separate from Gu Sheng, Chu Yanran might become a very important tool for them.
"Yueyue, I thought you no longer considered me your friend." Chu Yanran said aggrievedly. She looked at the person in front of her, who was dressed more and more exquisitely and beautifully, like a princess. She was wearing high-end brands, and the bag she was carrying was a limited edition luxury brand, with an official website price of over 100,000 yuan. Liu Yayue used to give her a lot of these things. In the eyes of her classmates and friends, she was a rich person. But ever since Liu Yayue became close to Gu Sheng, she had not received anything from her anymore.
His friends gradually stopped hanging out with him after realizing that Liu Ya Yue had distanced herself from him. So what if she has rich parents? If the Liu family weren't wealthy, with Liu Ya Yue's personality, who could possibly cater to her, and who would want to be her friend?
"Yueyue, I'm so sad. I really don't know what I did wrong. When did our relationship start to drift apart? I'm heartbroken." Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, looking very aggrieved.
Wen Wan: "Why would you think that? I was just pursuing Gu Sheng according to the bet, so I didn't have time to make plans with you. I remember you were the one who suggested this bet to me."
Chu Yanran: "..."
It's Gu Sheng again.
What's so great about Gu Sheng? Besides her cold face, she's also a penniless woman whose father is a gambler.
Chu Yanran originally sent Liu Yayue to pursue Gu Sheng out of jealousy, wanting to embarrass Liu Yayue and make her look foolish so that Gu Sheng would reject her. Who would have thought that Gu Sheng, who had rejected everyone, would suddenly change his mind and become so close to Liu Yayue, even tutoring her, becoming the perfect couple in the eyes of their classmates, and causing Liu Yayue to distance herself from him.
"How long has it been since our agreed-upon month?"
Wen Wan: "Gu Sheng is too hard to pursue, and he hasn't agreed to be with me yet. The reason he's close to me is because I paid him to tutor me."
"So you paid him for your tutoring?"
"yes!"
Chu Yanran was surprised; this was the first time she had ever heard of this.
"So he doesn't like you?"
Wen Wan looked at Chu Yanran and frowned. "What do you mean? Are you gloating?"
Chu Yanran immediately denied it. Although that's what she thought in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud. "How could I be gloating? I just think that Gu Sheng doesn't know what's good for him. Why don't you just stop pursuing him? Gu Sheng isn't any good either."
Wen Wan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "What you said makes sense. Who can't I pursue? Since Gu Sheng is so ungrateful, then I won't pursue him anymore."
"Really?" Chu Yanran didn't expect such an answer. Could it be that Liu Yayue was really just playing around? But why would she study so diligently if it was just for fun? It's like she's a completely different person.
"Of course it's true. I'm going abroad. I don't like any of the universities in China."
"You're going abroad?" Chu Yanran exclaimed in surprise. "Why are you suddenly going abroad? Maybe you should think about it more."
“What’s there to consider? Anyway, I don’t think I’ll get into a good university. Besides, my dad said I should go abroad to get a degree and then come back to inherit the family business. But I’m not interested in inheriting the family business. It’s too much of a dilemma.”
Chu Yanran: "..."
Not interested in inheriting the family business? And you're even finding it difficult?
Chu Yanran was absolutely jealous. She wanted to be in that kind of predicament too! Unfortunately, her parents were just ordinary employees, earning only four or five thousand a month, and they had no family business for her to inherit.
"But you've gone abroad, so we can't see each other anymore." What will she do now that Liu Yayue has gone abroad? She still wants to maintain their original relationship.
“We can make a phone call, right? Communication is so convenient these days.” Wen Wan picked up her phone, glanced at it, and quickly finished her coffee. “I have something to do later, I have to go.”
Wen Wan left quickly, and Chu Yanran couldn't stop her even if she tried to call out to her.
He slammed his hand on the table, and then it hurt him too.
