Chapter 229: Chapter 115 You’re also Shining

As he stumbled into the restaurant, a question played over and over in Su Huai’s mind—

Was Gu Jiuyue truly naive or was she a great villain masquerading as honest?

Everything seemed fine when he was tricking her, so why did the outcome go in completely the opposite direction?

In reality, Su Huai hadn’t lost anything, but he just felt out of sorts.

He suspiciously observed Gu Jiuyue from the side and detected nothing abnormal.

Gu looked up at the sign with expectation twinkling in her eyes and then made a great effort to compose herself, her cheeks calm and indifferent.

Su Huai decided to probe her again, "By the way, have you ever eaten out before?"

"No!"

Gu Jiuyue’s voice was clearly a bit excited, "Before I started university, all the food I ate was made at home, I wasn’t allowed to touch any of the street food or restaurant dishes by my dad."

Her attention shifted quickly, and there was no sign of guilt in her demeanor, first hurdle cleared.

"So now I’m bringing trouble upon myself, am I?"

Su Huai changed tact and made a joke to investigate further, "Later, Uncle is going to hate me to death, isn’t he? What terrible friends!"

"It’s not that exaggerated!"

Gu Jiuyue seemed worried that Su Huai wouldn’t let her eat and quickly explained, "Now I’m living at my grandma’s place, she’s not as strict with me, she even agreed to let me come out today. As for my dad... never mind him!"

Her emotions seemed genuine, her attitude appropriate, was I overthinking?

Su Huai put in the utmost effort to sense any irregularity in her emotions, yet found nothing unusual, it seemed like he was indeed being paranoid.

Overthinking it, overthinking it!

Why on earth would an 18-year-old girl match wits with me?!

It appeared to be just an accident.

Su Huai let it go, his mood stabilized, and he began pondering how to beat her at her own game... Failure wasn’t scary, what was scary was losing one’s morale.

Several more attempts, and success was bound to come!

Huai strode into the restaurant doors with robust energy.

At the entrance, a young lady was already waiting and asked sweetly, "Welcome, esteemed guest, are you a student of the Big Data class?"

"Yes."

"Please follow me, we have everything ready for you upstairs..."

Escorting the ever-curious Gu Jiuyue to the second floor, they found many classmates had already arrived.

Seeing the two of them arrive together, a chorus of teasing erupted from the crowd.

"Wow! Look who we have here?" Huang Mengting said mockingly.

"Class Leader, you’ve got no shame! Just tossed Gao and Er Gao aside like that?" Lu Yitian exclaimed with feigned heartache.

"Su Huai, you still dare to say you weren’t thinking about our Gugu!" Chen Lan fanned the flames.

"Dog Class Leader, your reputation is completely ruined! Er Gao has already spilled all your sins in the group chat!" Zhang Renhui righteously indignant.

"How are you planning to defend yourself now?"

Everyone laughed and enjoyed the lively scene.

Do I need to defend myself?

Su Huai sighed silently, thinking: these young guys never learn...

He glared at them, then began to clap sinisterly, "Great! You all go behind my back and secretly form a group, adding all the boys but leaving me out, right?!"

Instantly, the boys were choked up, exchanging glances, unsure of how to explain.

"Err... Bro, listen to our defense!"

Great, now it was their turn to try to alleviate Su Huai’s anger...

"I don’t want to hear it!" said Gou Huai, clenching his fist, "Whoever’s idea it was, quickly grind him down for me, otherwise today the girls sit and eat, and the boys lie down and eat!"

"Hahaha, serves them right! Thinking they can secretly create their own little groups?"

Amidst the women’s laughter, the ringleader Lu Yitian promptly received a barrage of punches.

"You form a group and you don’t add Dad Huai?!"

"You’ve turned against us!"

"Who gave you the courage?"

"Scoundrel, today I’m going to teach you a lesson on behalf of our dad!"

Lu Yitian ducked under a table, clutching his head and wailing, "Damn! Keep hitting my face and I’ll send the group chat screenshots to Huai!"

The boys paused, suddenly finding themselves in a dilemma.

What to do?

Gou Huai timely interjected, "Let bygones be bygones for what happened before."

Lu Yitian looked up in shock, his lips trembling, "Dog Class Leader, are you out to get me?!"

As the boys laughed maliciously and redoubled their punches, the girls nearly split their sides laughing.

Gu Jiuyue couldn’t hold back either, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes creasing into crescent moons.

After Lu Yitian was half-destroyed, the ever-talkative Zhang Renhui didn’t fare any better, angrily dragging Lu into the fray, "Idiot, that’s what you get for running your mouth!"

There sure are a lot of jesters among the post-95 generation...

After the chaos almost overturned the entire place, nearly all the members of the Big Data class had arrived, and the remaining two stuck in traffic were soon to arrive.

"Alright, let’s start ordering," Su Huai commanded, summoning the server.

"One portion of spicy crayfish and one portion of thirteen-spice crayfish for each person, then add 20 more portions of chilled crayfish, all in the largest size, and the rest of the signature dishes according to the table..."

Before he could finish, a cheer erupted from the guys’ side.

"Dad Huai is so generous!"

"Wow, dad, you really love your sons!"

"Where’s Lu Yitian? Come here quickly, let’s give him another beating to cheer up Dad Huai!"

"..."

The girls were also thrilled, chattering excitedly as they thanked Su Huai for splurging.

Those who arrived early had already looked through the menu, the largest crayfish were 1.2 taels each, 238 RMB for 15.

Now, without including anything else, just the crayfish alone amounted to over 600 RMB per person, with today’s meal likely to reach around 1000 RMB per person.

It might not sound a lot, but for most students, this was their first time splurging to such an extent on a meal.

Of course, Su Huai was definitely not going to make an issue over money and didn’t mention it at all.

"Order whatever else you want to eat or drink, eat and drink well today, and please be a bit more sparing with your words in the future. Gu and I are just good friends, stop teasing us. My skin is thin, I can’t handle it. Did everyone get that?"
