Chapter 96: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (7)
After leaving the milk tea shop, Gu Sheng continued to work part-time at a bar.
While sipping the milk tea she had bought at the milk tea shop, Wen Wan followed along, saying, "Tongtong, how can the male lead, who is not yet an adult, work part-time at a bar?"
Seeing Gu Sheng enter the bar, Wen Wan followed her in and found a corner seat where she could see Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng changed into her bar uniform and then started mixing drinks for customers at the bar.
Her hair was combed back, and she really didn't look like a high school student who wasn't even an adult yet. There were a lot of customers around her, and almost all of them were women.
"The male lead is quite talented."
System: [The male lead can do everything.]
Fine, what can I do? He's the male lead, after all. I can understand the male lead's halo.
There's no shortage of people trying to pick her up at the bar. Even though Wen Wan was wearing a mask and hat, a man walked over with a drink in his hand. "Beautiful lady, all alone?"
Wen Yan: "..."
According to the usual pattern, she has been approached by someone.
Wen Wan pointed to Gu Sheng, who was mixing drinks at the bar, and said, "I'm waiting for my boyfriend to get off work."
Upon hearing that Wen Wan had a boyfriend, the man left with some regret.
Several more men approached her afterward, but Wen Wan rejected them all. Soon, Wen Wan saw a beautiful woman touch Gu Sheng's hand while Gu Sheng was handing her a drink. Wen Wan sighed, "The world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be, and the male lead is still a minor! What a sin!"
system:【……】
The male protagonist seemed to have experienced this kind of situation before, and he quickly defused it, even asking the beautiful woman to order another drink.
Wen Wan was incredibly bored working late at the bar.
"Are you alone, beautiful lady?"
Wen Wan didn't even want to look at him, already quite adept at it, "I have a boyfriend, he's the bartender."
"Gu Sheng? You're Gu Sheng's girlfriend?"
Wen Wan turned to look at the person who had spoken to her. He was in his twenties, had a refined appearance, and didn't seem like a bad person. "Who are you?"
"I'm Chen Xi, the owner of this bar. I noticed you were staring at the bar without ordering anything, so I came to ask. I didn't expect that kid Gu Sheng would have a girlfriend?"
Chen Xi actually came over because he saw several drunk men walking towards the girl and was worried that she would get hurt.
Who would have thought I'd stumbled upon such a juicy story?
Wen Wan quickly pulled the boss down to sit, "Keep your voice down, I came secretly, don't let Gu Sheng hear me."
Chen Xi nodded. Wen Wan looked at Chen Xi, feeling that this was truly heaven helping her, and quickly took out the money and handed it to Chen Xi. Chen Xi looked at the stack of money in the file folder and asked, "What's this?"
"Boss, to be honest, my parents think Gu Sheng is poor, so they don't want us to be together. In order to be worthy of me, he has worked several jobs, and he doesn't get enough to eat or sleep every day. I can't bear it, so I want to help him. Please give this money to Gu Sheng for me under the pretext of a raise or other legitimate reason. Please don't reveal my identity. Just pretend I was never here."
Chen Xi: "..."
Chen Xi laughed, "Are you kids putting on a play? You're a student at No. 1 High School, right? Isn't it normal for your parents to object to students dating early?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Boss, you're talking a bit too much.
The owner of the bubble tea shop didn't say anything, so why are you digging into it? It seems those who run bubble tea shops are more naive.
"But I'll help you with this."
Wen Wan was trying to come up with a different reason to persuade her boss when he suddenly agreed. "Why?"
"There's no reason why, I just envy you guys for being young and playing this kind of game."
Wen Wan: Boss, you don't look that much older than her, do you?
"As long as it's successful, that's all that matters." After exchanging contact information with Chen Xi, Wen Wan emphasized to the bartender, "Thank you, boss. How about we exchange contact information?"
After Wen Wan left, Chen Xi, clutching the file folder, waited until Gu Sheng finished get off work. Chen Xi then approached Gu Sheng and handed her the folder, completely disregarding Wen Wan's instructions. Gu Sheng opened the folder and saw the money inside. "What's this?"
"Your girlfriend gave it to you, and you told me to keep it a secret."
Gu Sheng: "???"
His girlfriend? Thinking of something, Gu Sheng asked, "What does she look like?"
Chen Xi: "She was wearing a mask, but you could tell from her eyes and eyebrows that she was a pretty young girl. She even made up a long story for me. You young people are so innocent and interesting when you fall in love."
Gu Sheng: "..."
With mixed feelings, he left the bar carrying the file folder, thinking he already knew who had sent the money.
So she followed me all day?
Is it just to give money to oneself?
...
Meanwhile, Wen Wan, who was leisurely returning home, was unaware that she had been betrayed by the bar owner. She even thought she was quite clever for not hurting the male lead's pride and for giving him money instead.
Early the next morning, Aunt Liu knocked on Wen Wan's door, "Miss, Gu is here."
Why is the male lead here?
After getting up and washing up, I saw Gu Sheng already sitting in the living room, copying down a summary of key points for me.
I must say, this earnest scene was quite captivating.
"Good morning, little one!" Wen Wan sat down, and Gu Sheng handed her several test papers and some exercises. "Did you finish yesterday's homework? I have time to grade it together."
Wen Yan: "..."
She spent the whole day with Gu Sheng yesterday, so where did she find the time to do her homework?
"You didn't do it?" Gu Sheng's expression was somewhat serious. "Did you go out to play yesterday?"
Wen Wan quickly replied, "Yes, I was too tired yesterday, so my friends invited me out. I'm so sorry, I'll definitely make up for everything I missed today."
Wen Wan quickly sat down, grabbed the test paper and pen, and said, "I'll start writing right away."
Gu Sheng: "Eat breakfast first, then write."
Aunt Liu smiled and brought over the breakfast. "Yes, studying is important, but you can't skip meals. Gu, have some too."
Wen Wan silently handed a steamed bun to Gu Sheng, saying, "Eat your fill, then I'll start studying right away."
"Um."
"Aunt Liu, you should eat with us too. There's a lot of breakfast here."
Aunt Liu: "I've already eaten, you two can eat now. I need to go check on Madam's flowers and water them."
Aunt Liu left, and Wen Wan quickly finished her breakfast, picked up the test paper, and started working on it.
Gu Sheng continued to summarize the knowledge points on the side, occasionally guiding Wen Wan on her wrong questions. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Wen Wan, who was biting her pen because she couldn't do the questions, and Gu Sheng chuckled softly.
"why are you laughing?"
Gu Sheng pointed at Wen Wan's pen tip, "Only elementary school students bite their pen tips."
Wen Wan: "..." Isn't this because she doesn't know how to do it? So she restrained herself from biting the pen tip.
Then she started pulling her own hair. Why is physics so difficult? What kind of monsters are these? How can she not understand them?
Why would a liberal arts student have to go through the college entrance exam for science students several years after graduation?
Gu Sheng reached out and grabbed Wen Wan's hand that was pulling her hair. "Doesn't it hurt?"
Wen Wan lay on the table, "It hurts. Gu Sheng, do you think if I switch to the humanities class now, I'll have a better chance of getting into university?"
Gu Sheng: "It's the second semester of senior year now, what do you think?"
Wen Yan: "..."
It was indeed too late.
