Chapter 563: Campus (20)
Wen Wan looked at Gu Qiao and said, "It's shocking that I like you, isn't it? I'm surprised too. But you're so good-looking and outstanding, it's normal for me to like you. You don't need to feel guilty. Maybe I'll meet someone better-looking and more outstanding than you in the future, and then I might not like you anymore."
Wen Wan tried to pull Gu Qiao's hand away, but Gu Qiao's hand gripped her wrist tightly like an iron clamp. "You like me?"
Wen Wan retorted, "Yes, I like you. Can't I be a looks-obsessed person? I just don't like how much you care about Liu Yating."
She clearly doesn't like you.
Even though she has been bringing you bad luck, it is Wen Wan herself who has been protecting you and trying her best to avoid all kinds of bad things, but you still can't get any special treatment.
Wen Wan was truly wronged.
This is the first time in her life that she's had such a painful crush. Wen Wan was even surprised that she was so petty, but she just couldn't control her heart.
"Let me go."
Gu Qiao: "You like me? What's so great about me that you like?"
Wen Wan: "How would I know? Maybe it's because you're good-looking. If you had a different face, I might not like you anymore."
Gu Qiao: "..."
"You like my face?" Gu Qiao suddenly moved closer to Wen Wan, and his face instantly filled Wen Wan's entire field of vision. Wen Wan felt as if her heart was about to stop.
Gu Qiao chuckled, her eyes finally filling with laughter. "Then I will definitely take good care of my face from now on. Can you continue to like me? I am good to Liu Yating not because of love. I only treat her as a younger sister. There is another reason: her mother once saved my life, so I must be good to her. If it were between her and me, I would always put her first."
Wen Wan's feelings were complicated.
This part of the story is not included, and Wen Wan doesn't know about it either.
Disappointed?
There is some gratitude involved; she saved his life, which is an immense favor. No wonder the male lead never abandoned her and protected her even after being tortured like this.
"But if it were you, you would be more important than her."
"What?" Wen Wan looked at Gu Qiao. "What did you say?"
Gu Qiao: "I am a selfish person. I know what I care about. There are no things or people I didn't care about before, so I only hope to repay Ya Ting's mother's kindness. But if it were you, I would put you first."
"Do you know what my first reaction was when I found out you had been drugged? The first thought that popped into my head was... why did you drink for Yating?"
Wen Wan's eyes widened; this was an answer she had never expected.
"It's vicious, isn't it? But that's how I think, so keep liking me. I will never let you down. I will give you the best life. I will always put you first."
"If it were you and Ya Ting who fell into the river, I would definitely save you first. I probably wouldn't be able to think about anything else."
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan's tears streamed down her face, and then she suddenly hugged Gu Qiao, crying uncontrollably.
"From now on, you must put me first. As for Liu Yating, you don't need to protect her. I can protect her. I will never let her get hurt."
Even though she didn't really like the female lead, Wen Wan still decided to protect her.
The reason might not just be to complete the task, but more so because they didn't want Gu Qiao to pay too much attention to the female lead.
The system watched this scene with a happy mood and left. It seemed that it could consider going on a trip in the future, since the mission was already more than half completed.
Wen Wan held Gu Qiao's hand, smiling like a fool, and just then, the door to the music classroom suddenly opened.
Then three female classmates walked in and happened to see Wen Wan and Gu Qiao, and were shocked three times in a row.
Wen Yan: "!!!"
Wen Wan quickly shook off Gu Qiao's hand, but this was clearly an attempt to cover up the truth.
"Keep it a secret, please keep it a secret."
Three students: "!!!"
"Okay, Prince Wei, we'll never tell anyone, even if it kills us." My god, what a huge juicy scoop they've stumbled upon! Their favorite anime/manga couple has actually become a reality! Yes, they ship Prince Wei as the Cat God and Gu Qiao.
It just didn't happen in real life, since that's absolutely impossible.
Who would have thought, these two were actually having an affair! This couple is actually real!!!
Wen Wan pulled Gu Qiao away, feeling so embarrassed that she had to dig out a dream castle.
"Oh no, whatever, I just like you anyway."
...
For a while afterward, Wen Wan noticed that wherever she went, there were strange eyes staring at her, but when she looked at them, it was as if nothing had happened.
One day after dinner, Wen Wan was pulled into an empty room by Bai Linlin. Goodness, it was still the music classroom.
"Linlin, what's wrong?"
Bai Linlin's expression was complicated. "Brother Wei, do you like me?"
Wen Yan: "!!!"
"Tell me the truth, don't lie to me."
Wen Wan: "I only see you as a younger sister. You are a good person, and you will meet even better people in the future."
Bai Linlin's eyes reddened, but she couldn't bring herself to get angry at the other person. The cat hadn't done anything wrong; it just didn't like her.
She probably knew a long time ago that the other person only saw her as a younger sister.
"So you like Gu Qiao?"
Wen Yan: "!!!"
Bai Linlin could tell from his expression, and her anger turned. "Why him? He's a man, and he has no family background. Apart from being handsome and having good grades, he's obviously a 'phoenix man' from a TV drama. Why do you like him? I can't even compare to a man?"
Wen Yan: "..."
“I like him, Linlin. There’s one more thing I have to tell you: I’m actually the same gender as you, so the reason I don’t like you isn’t because you’re not likable enough, but because of me.”
Bai Linlin seemed to have been captivated by Wen Wan's words. "What did you say? Say it again? We grew up together. You don't need this ridiculous reason to reject me, do you?"
Then Wen Wan took his hand and tested him.
In the end, Bai Linlin had to accept the fact that her cat was actually a girl.
This was even more unbelievable than the end of the world, and it was beyond Bai Linlin's tolerance. "Brother Wei, I need to calm down. I'm leaving now. I'll keep it a secret, don't worry."
Then, after saying that, he fled in panic.
In the following days, Bai Linlin was in a particularly bad state. Wen Wan was a little worried and thought about apologizing again. But this time, when she apologized, Bai Linlin said, "I can forgive you for deceiving me all this time, but you have to grant me one request."
Wen Wan: "What are your requirements? As long as they're not too unreasonable, I'll do whatever I can."
"Don't worry, you can definitely do it, and it's definitely not excessive."
Finally, Wen Wan learned what Bai Linlin's request was: to cosplay the characters she liked, mostly female characters, with the occasional boy character. Wen Wan realized that Bai Linlin's feelings for her were definitely not romantic; it was indeed a master-pet relationship, with her being the pet and Bai Linlin wanting to be her master's servant.
