Chapter 652: Chapter 280 A Tearflower_2

Especially after meeting you, every time I wake up, there are a bunch of new numbers in my account. Can you understand that feeling?

Anyway, earning this money made my heart race as if I was in a dream.

I feel like if I don’t spend some of it quickly, then this money doesn’t seem real, like it’s not even mine.

So how much money do I have?

Sorry, secret.

All I can say is, my money comes super easily. The more I swipe, the more it grows...

So why do I spend so much on you?

First, because it’s nothing to me, no different than spending waste paper, and I can even fleece the platform a little.

Second, because you’re worth supporting. Investing in you is not a waste; you can give me back a lot.

You should know, I didn’t decide to tip you so much from the start. With each interaction, you gave me great feedback, which is why I decided to keep going.

Are you satisfied with these reasons?"

Pei Shuyu felt dizzy, like it was all too damn incredible.

She blankly stared at Su Huai, unable to spot any trickery, and then asked blankly, "Really?"

Su Huai nodded solemnly, "Every word is true!"

Every single sentence, if taken on its own, is true; even God wouldn’t be able to smite me for lying.

In the winter vacation of 2014, I made a little over 1,700 bucks using my dad’s stock account, and then we both realized we weren’t cut out for it. After the bull market, we didn’t touch stocks again;

The commodity market crash is real, but that’s none of my business;

Gold fell and then rose, and ten years later, it became phenomenally profitable. But did I say how much I made from it?

After I met you, every morning I woke up to lots more little money, guaranteed!

The more I swipe, the more it grows; if I don’t swipe, it doesn’t grow. Amazing, right?

I, Su Huai, have always spoken with a conscience. If there’s any falsehood in what I’ve said, you could step on my balls, and I wouldn’t even utter a peep, bearing it all!

Perhaps it was Su Huai’s firm attitude, or maybe his sincere eyes, but in any case, Pei Shuyu believed him.

She sighed, holding her forehead, "The more you swipe, the more it grows... It’s so absurd that I actually feel like it can’t be made up... and I have indeed witnessed your capabilities before..."

At this point, she suddenly propped herself on the small coffee table between them and examined Su Huai dubiously.

"So I really don’t get it. When did you actually start live streaming? Why do you know so much about it? Why do you have such a deep understanding of the whole industry? And now you’re telling me your expertise is finance? Is there anything you don’t know? But you only scored so little on the test, and you ended up in such a lousy school, does that make sense?"

Her doubts were too many to name, of course, not her fault; this is a normal reaction.

The more one delved into Su Huai, the more puzzling he became.

But he was, after all, a master of bluffing. Not sure how to explain? That was out of the question.

Su Huai spread his hands and confessed straightforwardly, "I controlled my score."

"Ah?!"

"Don’t understand?" Gou Huai brazenly spun his tale, "I’ve been in the same class as Chen Nuanhan since the first year of high school. Back then, young and naive with many ideas, I controlled my score to get into the same university as her. Is that so hard to understand?"

"Uh..."

Pei Shuyu was stunned, scratching her scalp vigorously, feeling that suddenly things made sense, but there still seemed to be something off.

"Wanting to be in the same college as her is understandable, but why didn’t you show your talents earlier, and strive to attract her? I heard you were quite ordinary when you first started university..."

"I am a purist in love."

Gou Huai became even more assertive, and even more... unabashed.

"I didn’t want my first love from my youth to be tainted with anything irrelevant. I wanted it to be as pure as possible, like something out of a manga."

"Okay, now that you put it that way, I understand."

Pei Shuyu actually accepted his explanation and felt a sense of relief.

"Actually, when I was around fourteen or fifteen, I also fantasized about that kind of clean and pure love... So why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Su Huai’s gaze darkened, "Because in front of all her roommates, Chen Nuanhan asked agitatedly; ’In what way does Su Huai deserve me? At most I’d only consider him a friend.’"

His expression wasn’t sad, but rather calm.

He just slightly moved the corner of his eye, and then his gaze slightly fell, as if he were looking back at memories.

Then, by refocusing, he caused his pupils to dilate slightly, causing his eyes to appear somewhat vacant.

Lastly, with an expressionless face, he spoke these words, and a sense of heartbreak washed over you.

It hit Pei Shuyu right in the face.

She, as an award-winning actress in real-life roles, couldn’t detect even a hint of a performance, but was instead moved by the sorrow and self-mockery tucked deep within his heart.

"You..."

She really wanted to comfort the young man before her; in that moment, he was so beautiful yet so fragile, invoking an urge to cherish and protect him.

But she really didn’t know how to comfort him.

Strictly speaking, this guy was her "dad" who had supported her until now.

"Um... it’s her loss, she’ll regret it sooner or later, and it also proves that she never deserved your love..."

After saying it, she felt how feeble her own words were.

But the vulnerability on Su Huai flashed by, and Pei Shuyu quickly saw the boy return to his nonchalant and cocky demeanor.

"She really doesn’t deserve me, no one does."

Looking at Su Huai’s arrogantly smug attitude, Pei Shuyu, unusually, found it not off-putting but rather endearing.

"Exactly, you’re a once-in-a-century genius, the linchpin of Xingyu and everyone in it!"

"That’s right, what are women? Just snap your fingers, and there’s no shortage."

"Uh... okay then."

Pei Shuyu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, but she admitted it anyway.

She could extremely understand Su Huai’s current state and felt sorry for him.

On one hand, here was a true genius who should be basking in everyone’s cheers and adoration, rightfully having it all.

On the other hand, he was too young, his mental maturity didn’t equate to emotional maturity, and being scorned by the object of his unrequited love was indeed hard to get over.

Such hurt could have a strong impact on a young person’s character, causing them to become extreme for a while, which couldn’t be more normal.

Thus, she wanted to console him.

"But you don’t have to lose faith in love just because of a girl who doesn’t know how to cherish it. Isn’t there Gu Jiuyue? I’ve heard about how sweet you two are even outside school..."

She might have been better off not saying that. As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Huai’s shoulders suddenly slumped, losing their support like a boneless frame.

Huh? Did I say something wrong again?

Pei Shuyu was utterly bewildered.

Seeing Su Huai lift his hand to cover his face, remaining silent with a slight quiver in his body, she suddenly felt at a loss.

"What’s wrong? Su... Su Huai junior? Shouldn’t I have..."

"It’s nothing."

Su Huai dismissed it with a light wave of his other hand, his voice carrying a massive, muffled fatigue.

"Just... don’t mention Gu Jiuyue in front of me again."

"Ah?! I..."

Big Sister Yu, who was so articulate in her livestreams, was now as clueless as a child.

After a long while, Su Huai let out a murky breath and raised eyes bloodshot with strain.

"Yueyue is great, everything about her is great, but... she has congenital heart disease, the incurable kind. She can’t get married, can’t have children, can’t even get too excited."

Pei Shuyu’s pupils contracted sharply, "What?! She actually..."

"Yeah."

Su Huai waved his hand tiredly, "Don’t mention it to anyone else, just keep it to yourself. I’m not afraid to tell you that I do like her, no one can replace her in my heart, but do you know how painful this liking is? You’ll never understand."

"I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!"

Pei Shuyu apologized frantically to Su Huai, even taking the initiative to circle the coffee table, squatting in front of him, and lightly grasping his arm.

"I... I don’t know how to comfort you either, but you..."

Her attempt at consolation was cut short halfway.

How the heck do I word this?

Her most honest thought was: how unlucky can you get?

Your first love, Chen Nuanhan, proud and oblivious, looked down on you in front of others.

Your next love, Gu Jiuyue, perfect in every way, turns out to be a fleeting summer flower; falling for her means watching her wither away...

Are you the tragic male lead in some cruel romance novel?!

While she was anxious, Su Huai suddenly raised his hand and touched her head.

Big Sister Yu froze all over.

Her body tensed, she lifted her head, and the first thing she saw was Su Huai’s impeccably chiseled jawline, with no angle left imperfect, and then she saw the tears at the corners of his eyes.

Pei Shuyu’s heart shuddered as if something inside had suddenly shattered.

So even Su Huai, so strong and seemingly invincible, could cry?

That shimmer, like it flowed right into her heart, softened her completely, leaving her unable to muster even the slightest resistance.
