Chapter 415: Chapter 193: The Master of Passing the Buck... Gu Jiuyue!_2

This sentence finally killed Wu Tianyou, who was shamelessly persistent.

Of course, it wasn’t just him, Chu Changkuo also instantly went silent—clutching the flower petal tightly in both hands, squeezing it into a wad.

Because Su Huai indeed had an undeniable, immense pressure on them.

Not to mention anything else, just the suppression Su Huai had just imposed on them was an insurmountable gap that couldn’t be compensated with external objects.

Then, at the moment when the two boys were the most upset, Su Huai, who was dragged out to be made use of, glanced at Chen Nuanhan and replied nonchalantly:

"Don’t wait, you just found out I like rich girls, didn’t you? Compared to her, you’re way too far behind, I’d rather be single than give you the slightest chance..."

"Pfft!"

Wu Tianyou and Chu Changkuo, who were in the midst of their painful indignation, burst out laughing on the spot, mainly because Su Huai’s rejection came too fast and too fierce, and it was a direct copy of their previous words, which was ridiculously comical.

Chen Nuanhan stared viciously at Su Huai, holding back her anger, and chose to continue hitting them with her strong medicine, "Anyway, stop doing this in the future, I’m afraid Susu will misunderstand..."

"..."

Shit!

The smiles that had just started to appear on Wu Tianyou’s and Chu Changkuo’s faces suddenly froze, their twisted expressions looking like they were about to cry.

Good news: the goddess is staunchly loyal.

Bad news: the object of her staunch loyalty isn’t me.

The two dumb kids felt a heartache, and then looked expectantly at Su Huai: Brother, you’re definitely going to keep rejecting her, right?

Su Huai was their last consolation.

As expected, Su Huai took the cue: "Anyway..."

"Shut up!"

Chen Nuanhan interrupted furiously, glaring at Su Huai and said, "My liking you isn’t a license for you to be presumptuous; if you dare mention Gu Jiuyue in front of me again, I’m going to confront her right now!"

Smart people can’t be manipulated forever, she had caught onto Su Huai’s weakness and destroyed Gou Dongxi’s arrogance.

Su Huai curled his lips, muttering softly, "I don’t know who taught her to be so..."

Then, he waved his hand: "Alright, disperse, I’ll clean up your mess. If you don’t want gossip everywhere, you’d better get out of here fast."

Soothing Manual technique four: Intimidation.

Give her an unacceptable consequence in exchange for her temporary forbearance and acceptance of the current outcome.

All the teasing in between was to scatter her concentration and not give her time to think, thrown out like a smokescreen.

All three were shocked, Wu Tianyou and Chu Changkuo cared a lot about face, and Chen Nuanhan didn’t want such a reputation.

"Huai, I’m outta here, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Chu Changkuo was the first to bolt, holding a pile of scattered roses, and hurried off with the cover of his cronies.

"The best, I’m off!"

Wu Tianyou called out to his best buddy, shamelessly squeezing through the crowd.

Chen Nuanhan, noticing more and more unusual gazes, couldn’t be bothered to argue with Su Huai any more, snorted huffily and turned to walk towards the depths of the playground.

Thus, it was done.

Gu Jiuyue had been standing seven or eight meters away, stopping to watch with Qianqian and Ding Yi by her side; she hesitated for a moment, considering whether to come over to Su Huai. By the time she had made up her mind and slowly walked over, Chen Nuanhan had just turned to leave.

Seven or eight meters, a dozen steps away, when she reached him, Chen Nuanhan was just a retreating figure.

"Su Huai, are you okay?"

There were too many people; she didn’t dare to call him Susu or Huaihuai, but her worry couldn’t be faked.

Gou Huai turned his head, his face full of smiles.

"I’m fine, just a small commotion from the boys, it’s been handled."

Gu Jiuyue nodded, unconcerned with the details, but Ding Yi was curious and asked, "What were you talking with them about? They seemed quite convinced, and Chen Nuanhan, who is hard to deal with, didn’t make a fuss..."

See, how prescient I am!

If I hadn’t managed to send one party away in advance, how would we wrap things up now?

Su Huai teased with the most natural attitude, "Look at you, playing Mr. Committee Member, now you’ve learned to be sarcastic too, huh?"

"I have not!"

Ding Yi laughed, almost embarrassed, and forcefully defended herself, "I’m standing up for justice on behalf of Yueyue!"

"Spare me!" Su Huai waved them off vigorously, driving the two away, "You two go do your thing, I’ll accompany Gu to watch the game, and later when it’s time, take her home."

"You better behave."

Ding Yi giggled, extending two fingers, and gesturing towards her eyes, "The whole sisterhood of the data science class is watching you!"

Hua Qianqian also couldn’t help but stifle a chuckle, silently releasing Gu Jiuyue.

Little Gu was pretty good at taking a joke, and she moved next to Su Huai, excitedly asking, "What game are we going to watch?"

"Let’s just stroll around the field and see what we come across."

Su Huai didn’t have anything specific he wanted to watch; he just wanted to spend some time alone with Gu Jiuyue to calm the pounding of his heart after the narrow escape.

Damn, that was a close one earlier...

Gu Jiuyue, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to everything and cheerfully agreed, "Ok then, let’s just wander around!"

Of course, they couldn’t just walk in silence; they chatted idly as they went, and then, out of the blue, Gu Jiuyue suddenly asked, "Aren’t you jealous at all about them chasing after Chen Nuanhan?"

Gou Huai felt an immense sense of relief wash over him and he let out a huge sigh of relief.

Hey, you finally asked.

"Hmm?"

He looked back at her, baffled, with an expression that said he didn’t understand why she would ask that.

"I was nearby on the side when you started the commotion."

Gu Jiuyue’s steps were light and her voice was chipper as she said, "I’ve never seen anyone like you; the person she likes is obviously you, yet you encourage others to confess to her... Doesn’t that make you sad?"

What’s there to be sad about?

With a crystal-clear Favorability Rating of 80+ sitting right there, would you worry about something impossible and fear two people who are nowhere near as good as you?

Gou Huai chuckled to himself, but his words were nonchalant.

"As a friend of Chen Nuanhan, since I don’t plan to accept her feelings, I should wish her happiness in finding true love. She has her happiness, I have my path; everyone is correct, so why be sad?"

For some reason, Gu Jiuyue’s questions today were unusually numerous and detailed.

"But... what if she really accepted someone?"

I would pinch her bear so hard, and cover her with stamps...

"Of course, I would congratulate her! She’s an adult and should have her own understanding of feelings. If she is willing to accept someone, it means she has thought it through, and isn’t that a good thing?"

"Yeah, it is a good thing."

Gu Jiuyue nodded earnestly, a sense of relief evident in her eyes.

Gou Huai also felt relieved.

Actually, when he had gone over to watch the excitement earlier, he had noticed that Gu Jiuyue was also nearby.

The formation of the School of Management wasn’t that big, and the E-commerce and Big Data classes were both part of the same department; they were inseparable, so naturally, she couldn’t have gone far.

That instigation had a technical term: emergency risk avoidance.

At that moment, I could have eaten a panda, so what’s the big deal about raising my voice?

Su Huai chuckled and smoothly changed the topic, indicating a clear conscience, "I shouldn’t have stirred things up then. I thought since we all knew each other, a little joke would be fun, but I almost caused trouble. My bad."

"Don’t think that way."

Gu Jiuyue quickly corrected him with all seriousness, her young face full of sincerity.

"The two of them are completely opposed in terms of core interests; one’s gain must mean the other’s loss. Even if no one interfered, they couldn’t be friends and would inevitably clash violently sooner or later.

Whether or not I joked, the outcome was inevitable.

Wouldn’t others instigating have affected their emotions as well?

Today, their core conflict exploded in public, and then you promptly intervened, which actually turned out to be a good thing.

Having learned from today’s lesson, I believe they’ve both become sufficiently cautious, and if a conflict arises again, they will be able to control their emotions and lessen the intensity of the disagreement.

That’s completely a good thing!"

Su Huai was dumbfounded.

Wow, you’re shifting the blame for me, and doing an even cleaner job of it?!

In his past life, Su Huai was as diligent as an ox, taking on both his own and others’ responsibilities. But after rebirth, things changed dramatically, turning him into a professional blamer.

Was it because his emotional intelligence had improved?

Actually, no, it was just his position that had changed.

An ox, no matter how smart, had to carry the burden, but only those in positions of power, wealth, and irreplaceability had the privilege to shirk responsibility. That’s the real world, the reality of privilege.

And Gu Jiuyue saw things from an even higher perspective, observing the purely rational essence of matters.

But beyond rationality, the strong emotional bias within that perspective...

Made Su Huai’s emotions complex and difficult to express.
