Chapter 776: Chapter 326 Susu is so good, Chen Nuanhan has to take full responsibility!

Wan Fangjiang had just left with his son when Chen Nuanhan breezed in.

She squeezed past Su Huai and headed straight for Gu Jiuyue, asking cheerily, "Gugu, how was your birthday?"

Gu Jiuyue forced a smile and replied simply, "Not bad."

But Chen Nuanhan didn’t feel awkward at all, continuing to flatter her enthusiastically, "It must have been more than just ’not bad.’ I bet you were thrilled. Yesterday, all the students at our school saw your birthday fireworks, wow! They were stunningly beautiful!"

She knew exactly how to tickle someone’s fancy, even Gu Jiuyue, who was usually cold and reserved, was cheered and proud from her compliments.

"Really? You saw them too?"

"Yep, I was gaping in awe, so jealous!"

Chen Nuanhan nodded vigorously, her voice lively and spirited, speaking of her envy without any bitterness, very amicably.

She gestured a huge circle with her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Those fireworks were so high and big, I could see them clearly from miles away, really, I’ve never seen such beautiful fireworks even during New Year!"

Gu Jiuyue’s mood expanded even more.

Compliments from others were one thing, but the praise and shock from Chen Nuanhan touched her differently.

If she had known the most popular terms of later generations, she would understand that this influence was the emotional value that Su Huai often explained to his hosts.

But she didn’t get carried away—at least not overly so, instead she nonchalantly brought Su Huai into the conversation.

"Actually, I didn’t know about it beforehand; it was a birthday surprise from Su Huai. Next time you have a birthday, I’m sure he’ll prepare a special gift for you too."

Little Su shivered at the sudden glance from Gu Jiuyue.

Oh dear sister, how you’ve changed!

Talking about this in front of me, who are you trying to involve?

Sure enough, Chen Nuanhan then turned to look her way, her gaze deep and inscrutable, yet as heavy as Mount Tai.

Unexpectedly yet unsurprisingly, she didn’t react badly but instead "confessed" openly,

"My birthday has long passed this year, Su gave me a few makeup gift boxes and wrote a blank letter, I still don’t know what he wanted to talk about, so weird..."

Four words: plain and simple.

Thus, Gu Jiuyue felt too embarrassed to use any little tricks, pursing her lips into a smile, she redirected the conversation.

"Why did you start calling him Su too?"

Chen Nuanhan laughed heartily, "I was copying you! I not only call him Su, but I also started calling you Gu, didn’t you notice?"

Gu Jiuyue felt extremely awkward inside.

This awkwardness, she couldn’t describe, but it just felt off.

Not that it was a particularly bad feeling, just, just, hard to put a finger on.

Gu couldn’t cope any longer, her kindness and manners preventing her from speaking harshly or targeting Chen Nuanhan explicitly, so she had to change the subject again.

"Aren’t we going to have dinner?"

"Let’s go now!" Chen Nuanhan chimed like a little sun, "What about you? Heading home?"

Gu Jiuyue nodded, "Yeah, to my grandma’s place."

"I know, Professor Cheng’s famous and highly respected, so you better hurry!"

Chen Nuanhan gently grabbed Gu Jiuyue’s hand, then parted very tactfully, "Bye-bye, eat plenty! Su, take good care of Gu."

Gu Jiuyue’s face seemed to sport a perplexed emoji.

And Su Huai dared not show any expression, keeping a stoic face as he nodded, "Goodbye..."

Once she walked out of the classroom, Gu couldn’t help herself anymore, cocking her head to look at Su Huai, "What’s the deal with you two?"

What do you mean, ’you two’?

Do I have anything to do with this?

Well, okay, maybe.

Su Huai shook his head blankly, "I don’t know...she might be going crazy again? Probably Wu Tianyou annoyed her again."

Wu Tianyou: ???

A huge scapegoat fell from the sky with a loud Duang, but Gu Jiuyue didn’t hear it.

"Oh, that guy is indeed annoying."

Gu Jiuyue half-believed him, then asked the other half, "So, this has nothing to do with you?"

Often chastised by girlfriends, men from Sichuan and Chongqing know, the fewer the words, the bigger the issue, the more vague the question, the quicker the escalation.

Gu’s real question was, "Does she really want to be friends with me? But does this have more to do with Wu Tianyou, or with you? What exactly are you two plotting behind my back?"

If Gou Huai’s EQ was just slightly lower, he’d be done for.

But now, there was still room to dodge.

"Of course!"

Gou Huai’s voice wasn’t loud, but his expression was pitiable, then he looked at her with a "can’t believe you’d doubt me" shock.

"If it really was related to me, it’s only because I gave her a birthday gift of a makeup set worth 20,000 yuan, and for your birthday, I gave 20 million yuan worth of fireworks!"

Within seconds of eye contact, Gu softened.

"Then, she’s really strange...But you did perform brilliantly, truly treating me as your only and best friend, well done~~~"

Gu Jiuyue still didn’t understand what Chen Nuanhan was thinking, but she had already cleared Su Huai from the suspects list.

Su is so nice, how could it be his fault?

Chen Nuanhan was entirely to blame!

...

On the way home, her mood was quite good.

Then, suddenly, she asked Su Huai, "Su, what kind of person do you think Chen Nuanhan really is?"

Great, still hasn’t given up figuring her out.

Su Huai felt quite helpless.

Of course, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, Gu Jiuyue was showing more and more of her human side, from mentality to behavior, becoming increasingly life-like.
