Chapter 712: Chapter 303 Chen Nuanhan: Can’t I wish you a happy birthday?

At midnight on the 20th, the chat group was flooded with birthday wishes for Goddess Gu.

Of course, at this moment, Gu Jiuyue had long since fallen asleep.

Moonlight sifted through gauzy curtains onto her bedside, illuminating a face pure and beautiful as jade, a sweet smile lingering at her lips, her brows relaxed and no longer furrowed.

Lan withdrew her hand from checking Gu’s pulse and tiptoed out of the bedroom, suddenly letting out a satisfied sigh.

Gu Tongshu’s heart stirred, and he quickly asked, "How is it?"

"Her pulse is much stronger than half a year ago," Lan glanced at him, suggesting with a hint of meaning, "Miss is recovering to normal. It seems that internal factors are indeed playing a bigger role."

Gu Tongshu was silent for a long time before he finally just hummed in agreement.

At 6 AM, Gu was up on time, and as soon as she awoke, she flipped to the edge of the bed to grab her phone and opened the green bubble.

She had nearly sixty to seventy unread messages from family elders, high school and college classmates, of course, including her most important close friends.

Skipping the rest, she went straight to Su Huai’s message.

"Are you up? Do you need me to accompany you to the gym for practice today?"

Gu Jiuyue pondered for a while, finally deciding, "No need, let’s meet up in the classroom!"

When Su Huai saw her reply, he couldn’t help but laugh.

This girl’s thoughts were too easy to guess. Clearly, she didn’t want to receive her gift early and hoped to get his secret surprise in front of the whole classroom.

OK, as you wish!

Therefore, Su Huai consciously skipped over the topic related to gifts, reminding her, "Then you better practice well, don’t catch a cold, okay?"

"Sure!"

Gu put down her phone and thumped to the middle of the carpet to start practicing—her spacious bedroom was certainly sufficient for practicing Vajra Skills.

Meanwhile, Su Huai rolled over and lay back in bed.

Stretched lazily, he groaned, "Ughhh... the comfort of a bed is unbeatable!"

He had actually slept enough, but why leave the warmth of the blankets on a winter day when he could be cozy staying in bed?

Diligent students might already be at the sports field, library, or study room. Their hard work wouldn’t be in vain; after four years, whether for grad school or work, they’d be in the top 10% of their peers.

But Su Huai no longer needed to walk that path—not because he was lazy, but because he had his own "leverage."

Lying in bed watching live streams and dealing with work until 8 AM, he had no choice but to get up.

His three roommates were way too energetic, chit-chatting incessantly. Su Huai didn’t understand why they were even more excited than him.

Then, as soon as he opened the door to his dorm, the guys from next door also came rushing over.

"Huai, what gift did you prepare for Goddess Gu?"

The one who asked wasn’t Gao or Er Gao, but another guy from across the hall in the math department, the type you’d only ever converse with during bathroom breaks, measuring who’s got the upper edge.

Seeing his dorm full of people, Su Huai’s forehead slowly crept up with a question mark.

What’s going on with you guys?

"Hehe, just curious!"

"Yeah, wanna get a little sneak peek!"

"All the girls in our class want to know, dude. Spill the beans, so I can know if I have a chance to chat with our class beauty—it all depends on you!"

Su Huai was speechless: "You all know it’s Gu’s birthday today?"

"Of course, it’s been spread everywhere, right?"

"Huai, even though we only found out about Goddess Gu’s birthday yesterday, we’ve been discussing what gift you might give her a month ago..."

"Godfather said it better not be anything shoddy; today is definitely going to be big news!"

Su Huai’s head was full of black lines, feeling that he had still underestimated the impact of "Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue" being put together.

Luckily, I reminded Sao Ji and the others to keep it a secret...

"Big boys shouldn’t be so gossipy. I definitely can’t afford something of a lethal dose caliber. I can’t tell you what exactly it is; Gu doesn’t even know herself, so what’s the deal with stirring things up ahead of time?"

Su Huai half-scolded, half-laughed as he chased them out: "Come on, go do whatever you need to do. Have you even finished your homework, or are you rushing to gossip?"

"Dude, you can’t be serious?"

"Bro, don’t play us like that..."

The bunch grumbled with sighs and moans, but no one dared to defy the determined Su Huai, and they eventually dispersed reluctantly.

Then Su Huai casually threw on some sportswear and left the dorm empty-handed, with Gao and Er Gao tagging along.

The two brothers were bewildered, Gao with wide eyes: "What about the gift? Aren’t you taking it with you?"

Er Gao beat his chest in regret: "Huai, have you lost your mind? Goddess Gu must be waiting for your gift. Wouldn’t she be disappointed if she can’t see it on time?"

"Shut it, single dogs!"

Su Huai laughed in exasperation: "With you guys looking the way you do, you think you’re qualified to teach me how to please a girl?"

That hit home. The brothers blushed, hastily defending themselves that it wasn’t that they couldn’t find someone; they just preferred freedom more... Yeah, it kind of had the vibe of a bachelor group.

Amid all the chatter and noise, they arrived at the classroom. As soon as Su Huai walked in, whoosh, all the boys and girls turned their gaze on him instantly.

It was eerily quiet at first, but then it burst into commotion when they saw no gift.

Ding Yi was gobsmacked: "Seriously? Are you going to join us in writing on the birthday wish paper, too?"

Gu was sitting next to him; her eyes were initially sparkling with anticipation, but suddenly dimmed.

Su Huai ignored everyone and strolled up to Gu, delivering a straight shot.

"The first gift is in my dorm, but I don’t want them to see it. I want you to receive it alone and show it to me first, so... I’ll take you home this afternoon, and then you’ll know what it is."

"Boooo!!!"

Amidst a chorus of boos, Gu’s eyes lit up anew.
