Chapter 283: Chapter 136 Hesitation_2

From her response, it was clear that she hadn’t completely given up, just lying there waiting to die.

This girl harbored a glimmer of hope amidst her bleak attitude towards the future, planning to give it her all without expecting everything to turn out perfectly.

Pretty... rational.

Su Huai felt this was both good and not so good.

The downside was, the more rational she was, the lower her emotional fluctuations, which actually wasn’t conducive to the continued increase in favorability.

The upside was, dealing with her wasn’t frustrating.

Take Chen Nuanhan for instance, she hadn’t really started to act out yet, but sooner or later she would, and when that happened, anyone involved would find themselves in a hot mess.

Without any surprises, by the time she came back from the October holiday, she probably wouldn’t be able to control her emotions.

Su Huai, however, wasn’t afraid and was also prepared for the siege.

Any man who had really been beaten down by society knew that nothing in this world came easy.

Leveling up the system actually only required sweet-talking a little girl, which was already particularly easy.

So he never thought about whether it would have been easier if he hadn’t locked onto Chen Nuanhan at the start.

He only thought about how he was going to take down these two tools and explode their gold coins.

As his understanding of Gu Jiuyue deepened, he now felt fairly certain—Gu didn’t need sweet nothings, but she did place a lot of importance on a spiritual connection, so he had to focus more on emotional strategy.

Damn, he still had to find time to increase his reading...

An artistic young woman might throw you a curveball out of the blue; if you can’t catch up with her game, that’s a major blow to favorability.

On the contrary, if you could throw her a curveball, who knows, it might be scorching hot inside~~~

As for Chen Nuanhan... we’ll see what moves she makes.

Dividing his attention, Gou Huai was soothing the old lady while figuring out how to be a good modern-day jerk, but he always managed to juggle both perfectly.

It wasn’t until Gu Jiuyue had finished organizing the emergency plan and had started to heap on the praise again.

"You did a very comprehensive job, there are many aspects I didn’t think of, as expected, every experience is meaningful, well done, Gugu!"

Gu Jiuyue was a bit skeptical and nervous, "Are you sure there aren’t any omissions?"

The old lady was delighted.

"Su, take another close look and offer some feedback."

Su Huai decisively shook his head, "With my abilities, I can’t find any flaws at all; you have to believe in Gu, she’s really amazing!"

"Sweet talker!"

Gu Jiuyue rolled her eyes at the comment, but Professor Cheng found it very pleasing to hear.

Any clever person would have noticed by now—in Professor Cheng’s house, in front of the elders, Su Huai always insisted on calling her Gugu, never following them in calling her Yueyue.

Even though both were simplified nicknames picked from her name to show closeness through repetition, the sense of measure in Gugu was obviously a notch stronger.

So Professor Cheng immediately smoothed things over for Su Huai, "Not at all. Su is such a reliable child. I’ve seen thousands and thousands of students your age, trust me, I don’t make mistakes in judging character!"

See, how advantageous it is to be reborn!

Despite being a greasy, cunning old-timer, in the eyes of the elders, this kid is mature, reliable, and solid... His strengths far outweigh any shortcomings.

Su Huai could still take advantage of his youthful appearance for at least four more years before entering society properly, and before then, no one would have overly high expectations of him; good performance was a pleasant surprise, and average performance was forgivable, oh so delightful!

Capitalizing on a youthful appearance, Dog Class Leader continued to set traps: "Grandma, you may want to keep the compliments light. Gu is getting jealous~~~ She, oh, she hardly ever listens to me in class; she’s got a strong personality!"

"You!"

Gu Jiuyue stared wide-eyed, instinctively clenching her teeth in a rare moment of losing her composure.

Dog Class Leader really had no conscience!

When have I ever crossed swords with you in class?!

However, this expression convinced Professor Cheng even more. She knew her granddaughter was proud and rarely admitted to being inferior, so she immediately backed Su Huai up.

"Su, the class is your domain. Educate her as you see fit, just keep things fair."

As she spoke, Gu Jiuyue’s mouth hung open in an ’o’ shape.

I’m done for!

Grandma, don’t believe him!

Just then, Professor Cheng turned towards her, and at that exact moment, with his grandmother’s back turned, Su Huai winked and grinned mischievously at Gu, pulling a face.

What a rascal.

Gu Jiuyue was amused despite herself, pursing her lips and nodding slightly: Fine, you want to play it like that? I’m mad now!

Her emotions were stirred by Dog Class Leader, but that bit of petulance had no real destructive power.

As a true princess and fairy, she had never actually lost her temper with a boy; the harshest punishment was to ignore them, to treat them like a stranger or air. But what good was that against Su Huai?

Dog Class Leader would have been only too happy if she acted a bit petulant and ignored him!

It didn’t take long before Dog Class Leader got up and left, not giving her a chance to vent her anger.

Watching Su Huai’s somewhat "desolate" retreat, Professor Cheng earnestly advised her granddaughter, "Yueyue, Su is also just a child. You’re good friends, and anything that comes
