Chapter 116 You really don't want me anymore
Lu Jiunian's eyes darkened. "What's he doing here causing trouble for you? Is he just spouting nonsense in front of you again?"
Gu Zijian was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You didn't answer my calls last night, where were you?"
"He told you everything?"
“If you’re so reluctant to let him go, let’s break up. Although I love you very much, what I want in a relationship is exclusivity. Maybe after I’ve been bedridden for more than two years, things really can’t go back to the way they were.”
Gu Zijian used a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement.
Lu Jiunian held Gu Zijian's hand, his eyes serious, as if making a promise.
"I want him to get out right now."
Gu Zijian pulled his hand back. "If you can't let go, then forget it. Let's call it quits. Anian, I've liked you for so many years, and I'm exhausted."
"Zijian, I will not look for him again, you believe me."
Gu Zijian wanted to say something more.
Lu Jiunian didn't give Gu Zijian a chance. He stood up and said, "Just say it like this: I'll take care of everything, and I'll come see you again tonight."
The man walked quickly, leaving as if fleeing.
This was not what Gu Zijian wanted, but he couldn't push Lu Jiunian too far. Today's strategy of retreating to advance was enough.
This must have dealt a heavy blow to the relationship between Lu Jiunian and Shi Nianzhi.
Next, Gu Zijian hoped that Lu Jiunian would keep his promise.
School.
Before Shi Nianzhi even reached the school gate, he overheard some girls talking:
“I just saw in the group chat that the guy at the school gate and Mu Guangcheng were standing together eating steamed buns.”
"What? Are you sure it's about eating steamed buns, and not a fight?"
"Yeah, yeah, aren't those two always at odds? Standing together eating... steamed buns?"
"If you don't believe me, we'll be at the school gate soon, then you'll see."
"......"
There were about half as many girls at the school gate as usual, and most of them were openly staring at the two tall boys under the guise of chatting or having breakfast.
Su Hengyi thought the pickled cabbage buns were disgusting. He had two left, which he carried in his bag, intending to throw them away later.
He didn't eat much, only managing to eat one.
Mu Guangcheng took the last bite of the meat bun in his hand. He didn't care about meat or vegetables, and stretched out a hand to Su Hengyi.
Su Hengyi naturally placed his hand in Mu Guangcheng's palm and intertwined their fingers.
"Smack—"
"hiss----"
"Holy shit!"
Such noises filled the air. Some people dropped their breakfasts in surprise, while those with strong mental fortitude gasped in shock. The boys who admired Su Hengyi cursed under their breath.
The entire school gate erupted in a commotion, with whispers and chatter filling the air.
Mu Guangcheng's ears turned red instantly. He forcefully shook off Su Hengyi's hand and angrily asked, "What are you doing?"
Su Heng looked up and said, "You gave me your hand."
Mu Guangcheng scolded, "Didn't you complain about the pickled cabbage bun? I told you to give it to me, don't waste it!"
"oh."
Su Heng handed the plastic bag he was carrying to Mu Guangcheng.
Mu Guangcheng snatched it away, saying, "I really don't know what you're thinking about all day long!"
Despite his grumbling, it didn't stop Mu Guangcheng from enjoying his sauerkraut bun.
When Shi Nianzhi came over with Shi Er, carrying her schoolbag, Mu Guangcheng waved to Shi Nianzhi while biting into a steamed bun.
Shi Nianzhi's eyes lit up, and he walked towards them. "Boss, Brother Yi, were you waiting for me?"
"Nonsense, otherwise who do you think would have such a big face to make Su Heng and me stand here waiting?"
Mu Guangcheng reached out and ruffled Shi Nianzhi's hair, asking, "You weren't bullied, were you?"
Shi Nianzhi's eyes reddened slightly for a moment, then he shook his head vigorously.
"No."
He is so sensible.
Mu Guangcheng was too carefree to notice these details. He lowered his head and continued to bite into his bun, mumbling, "At least the Lu family has a conscience."
Su Hengyi reached out and smoothed down Shi Nianzhi's messy, sticking-up hair. Then, with his fair, jade-like fingers curled and palms facing up, his cool fingertips touched the corner of Shi Nianzhi's eye.
When Shi Nianzhi and Su Hengyi looked at each other, Shi Nianzhi instantly felt as if he had been seen through.
In the end, Su Hengyi simply placed his hand on Shi Nianzhi's shoulder and patted him.
Although he may appear cold, he is actually very detail-oriented and gentle at heart.
He never asked what Shi Nianzhi was unwilling to talk about.
"There seem to be a lot of people at the school gate today, and many of them are wearing the uniforms of the school next door. Why did they come here too?"
Shi Nianzhi replied, "Boss, you're very conspicuous when you're with Brother Yi."
Mu Guangcheng ignored Su Hengyi and made a gesture of touching his hair with his hand above his ear.
His lips stretched almost to his ears in a wide grin. "Sometimes I get annoyed because I'm too handsome; I attract attention wherever I go."
A luxury car was parked on the road. Gu Yuanyuan had recovered a lot from her injuries after so many days of recuperation.
He saw Su Hengyi and Mu Guangcheng together at the school gate from afar, along with Shi Nianzhi, the country bumpkin who hadn't yet returned to his hometown.
He got out of the car and was about to rush this way.
Suddenly, the school heartthrob next door, who was delicate and had red lips and white teeth, pounced on Gu Yuanyuan as if he had been lying in wait.
He hugged Gu Yuanyuan's waist. "Senior, why have you suddenly stopped talking to me lately?"
"Get out of the way!"
Gu Yuanyuan certainly wouldn't allow this school heartthrob to cause such a scene. Whether it was at the school gate or not, just the fact that it happened in front of Su Hengyi was enough to annoy him.
"Zhou He!"
Gu Yuanyuan tried to push him away, but was instead hugged even tighter by someone who called him by his full name with a threatening tone.
Zhou He, fearless as ever, whined, "Brother Yuan, we were chatting so well before, why are you suddenly ignoring me? Did I do something wrong? Tell me, and I'll change."
Mu Guangcheng watched the play with great interest and even wanted to get closer.
Su Hengyi grabbed his wrist, "Go back to the classroom."
Mu Guangcheng curiously turned around and glanced back a couple more times, then he busied himself wrestling with Su Hengyi's hand, "Let go!"
Shi Nianzhi didn't want to see Gu Yuanyuan, let alone be interested in any gossip about her. He left alongside them.
Seeing Su Hengyi about to leave, Gu Yuanyuan anxiously called out, "Su Hengyi!"
"Su Hengyi! You stop right there!"
His actions drew even more attention from the students around him.
But Su Hengyi acted as if he hadn't heard, and pulled Mu Guangcheng along, not allowing him to break free, towards the depths of the campus.
Gu Yuanyuan was furious but helpless.
After a while, he angrily reached out and grabbed Zhou He's chin, his expression extremely cold. "I was just playing with you. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way before I get angry."
"Brother Yuan, tell me what's wrong with me, and I'll change."
"Change my ass! I don't like you, so go ahead and change!"
"Brother Yuan, if you don't like me, then you're the one who needs to change."
"Get lost, I don't have time to play with you!"
This time, Gu Yuanyuan put all her effort into shaking off Zhou He.
As he walked into the campus, he glared menacingly at the girls who were watching the commotion, yelling, "What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen someone get dumped before!"
Wait until he's gone far away.
Some people are discussing:
"Oh my god, he's so fierce! What grade is he in?"
"You don't recognize him? Gu Yuanyuan, the school heartthrob?"
"Isn't the school heartthrob universally acknowledged as the number one guy?"
"Hey sis, a school isn't just about one weed."
"I haven't seen him on the list of most handsome boys in school."
"He's too fierce and has a terrible public image. He only hangs out in his own circle. Young Master Gu doesn't care about these childish voting elections, so his votes are always very low in internal elections, so of course he's not on the list. Do you think it's Mu Guangcheng?"
"May I ask what happened to Mu Guangcheng? He's my idol."
"Didn't Mu Guangcheng get a broken bone after challenging the number one guy to a fight? So he's been trying to get revenge on him, even on the school heartthrob list. To take down the number one guy, he's been selling himself to garner votes."
"Oh, how much is it?"
"What are you thinking? The so-called 'selling oneself' just means he posted a picture of his body on the forum, of course, only his upper body."
"He won?"
"He won, even though that photo was taken down as soon as it was posted. But he still won the votes."
"Wow, isn't Mu Guangcheng's body amazing? I'm drooling, I really want to see him, sob sob sob."
"They were blocked, not a single one was left. The blocking was really sophisticated. Those senior students who saved the photos, their phones were like they were hacked, the photos mysteriously disappeared. Of course, I only heard about it, I don't know if it's true or not."
"Bullshit! Someone obviously voted for him, artificially inflating his ranking to first place. Otherwise, how could this consistently bottom-ranked academic failure have won against the number one spot?"
One of the boys couldn't stand it and spoke up for Su Hengyi.
One girl wondered, "Why didn't he pay for it himself?"
"He's penniless. Every time the school asks for group fees, he has to borrow from everyone he knows. He doesn't have the money to pay."
"Damn it, I just remembered that Mu Guangcheng borrowed five yuan from me to pay the tour fee, and he hasn't paid me back yet."
"Are you two from Class 7? Let's add each other on WeChat."
"No, no. Give up. Even if you give your brother and Mu Guangcheng their WeChat, they won't pay any attention to you girls! Calling them 'brother' won't help!"
Live life with clarity.
Shi Nianzhi was very attentive in class all day.
As school was about to end, Su Hengyi said to him, "Come with me after school."
Shi Nianzhi nodded. Anyway, he didn't want to see Lu Jiunian again, but that man probably wouldn't contact him for a while.
He paused, then asked, "Can I bring Shi Er along?"
"Um."
Su Heng nodded and turned over the test paper he had written.
After school, Shi Nianzhi was packing her bag to leave when her phone vibrated in her pocket.
The call seemed premeditated, coming right at the right time.
Shi Nianzhi, who had already stood up, sat back down and glanced at the caller ID.
He lowered his eyes, put the phone to his ear, and hadn't spoken yet.
On the phone, the man's voice was extremely cold, domineering, and brooked no argument: "Come out, let's get a divorce."
He was so cold, so resolute, showing no trace of lingering affection.
