Chapter 252: Chapter 124 Use Others as a Shield

In the past ten days or so, Su Huai has kept a low profile on campus.

With a heavy study load and business matters to attend to during his free time, he didn’t have much chance to make a splash.

Even though he attended classes with Gu Jiuyue every day, he didn’t force himself to sit beside her. He just maintained the status quo.

He had even less time for Chen Nuanhan. If they bumped into each other, they would chat briefly, but he wouldn’t take the initiative to ask her out. As a result, her favorability rating had dropped a bit.

Su Huai could handle a 10-point drop in favorability, but what he hadn’t anticipated while building his nest was that by just leaving Chen Nuanhan alone for a while, she couldn’t restrain herself and took the initiative to approach him!

"Are you asking if I’m going home?"

"Are you after my life?!"

The situation at the moment was this—

Chen Nuanhan walked arm in arm with Bai Huitian, with Shu Shengnan standing behind them, blocking the entrance to the Big Data class. Boys and girls from the E-Commerce class passed by in the corridor, snickering at the scene.

5 meters away, Wu Tianyou’s eyes were burning with rage, glaring fiercely at Gou Huai.

Ban Zhi was straining to pull him away, while Thunder God whispered, "Let’s go, let’s go, stop looking," but he simply couldn’t be dragged away.

Youyou was determined to edge forward.

Su Huai had just stepped out the door, standing in the middle of the corridor, flanked by Gao and Er Gao, forming a "concave" shape around him and emitting a strange, enigmatic laugh.

The door to the Big Data class wasn’t literally blocked; students kept coming out from behind him.

The surging crowd was like a river, hitting the rocks in the middle and splitting into two streams.

All the passing river water had to leap up and take a good look at the rocks.

No matter when, our Brother Huai is always such a bright presence, drawing everyone’s attention...

Damn, is this an idol drama or what?!

Su Huai’s mind raced as he tried to recall an important detail—had Gu Jiuyue left?

Before he could figure it out, a meaningful voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Oh~~~"

Whoosh, Gao and Er Gao immediately squeezed to one side, standing against the wall, no longer daring to stand beside Su Huai.

Heh, maybe they’re afraid of being splashed with blood?

Su Huai also sensed trouble—that voice was unmistakably Huang Mengting’s, and she was the top brawler of the class, the number one instigator from Room 511.

"No wonder you’re not directly responding to us. Turns out you have another appointment..."

With such sarcasm, there was only one possibility.

Damn it, Gu Jiuyue hasn’t left!

Su Huai didn’t dare turn around. Every muscle in his body tensed, as he forced a calm face and retorted to Chen Nuanhan, "What’s up? I haven’t decided yet."

He raised his voice just a bit to make sure the people behind could hear him.

Chen Nuanhan glanced over Su Huai’s shoulder with an inscrutable look in her eyes. But she did not shift her attention to the "enemy"; instead, she focused directly on Gou Huai.

She replied with a smiling face, "Nothing much. If you’re going back home, I’ll book a flight ticket for you. We could have fun in Harbin for two days."

Pfft, are you ever this sweet?!

Could it be that she saw Gu Jiuyue and changed her attitude on the spot?!

Regardless, her gentleness and the focus on Su Huai were indeed enough to stir the fire.

Su Huai noticed that the footsteps of the girls behind him had stopped...

Damn, how scary is that?!

That scent of perfume is Huang Mengting’s; that burly shadow is Chen Lan’s; the focal point of everyone’s gaze across the way could be no one else but Gu Jiuyue!

Su Huai’s scalp tingled, yet he still had to struggle.

What to do?

Don’t hesitate, and don’t be silent. Even if it’s a load of nonsense, you have to keep talking!

With the combined intelligence and charm points of 87 pushed to the limit, Gou Huai solemnly said, "Thank you, but I’ve got some business matters to take care of, and I’m not sure about them yet."

He explained at maximum coolness why he couldn’t confirm.

I have important business, you guys don’t make a fuss!

These words were meant for both parties.

Proactive attitude and a clever response granted him a moment to catch his breath. Chen Nuanhan nodded and gave an "Oh."

"Business is important."

She showed a rare understanding and tenderness like an angel.

Huh?

Have you changed your approach?

But as soon as Su Huai let out a huge sigh of relief, she immediately stared hard at the dog’s face and hooked up the corner of her mouth, "As long as it’s not an excuse to actually go out and have fun with another girl, I can definitely understand..."

Su Huai really wanted to give a carefree laugh, but... he simply couldn’t smile at all!

Mother!

Can someone teach me how to respond to this?

Even 87 points of combined intelligence and charm aren’t enough here!

And as he fumbled, Huang Mengting immediately charged out, boldly initiating the confrontation: "Our class is discussing the National Day class activity. What, do we need to get your approval to go out and do some team-building?!"

Chen Nuanhan glanced at Huang Mengting, then quickly looked away.

With an air of indifference like she couldn’t be bothered to entertain her—what’s your level? What’s my level? Arguing with you is beneath me!

Room 515 must have studied tactics in depth, fully understanding the warfare of infantry to infantry, general to general, king to king. So Bai Huitian stepped forward to strike back.

"How fresh, Nuannuan is just talking to her classmate, how did that bring you into this? If you were Su Huai’s girlfriend, we’d turn and go, but the question is... are you worthy?"

Huang Mengting was instantly enraged, her eyes spitting fire: "Bai Huitian, you..."

"Did I say something wrong?"

Bai Huitian didn’t indulge Huang Mengting, her old classmate, at all. She unleashed her poison tongue to its fullest: "You’re at best a maid secretly in love with her master, pretending to be grand. What are you acting high and mighty for?"

Hey, that’s some vicious talk!

The boys around all shrank their necks, feeling as if a chilly wind had swept over their faces, both cold and painful.
