Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Rest Assured
Perhaps it was because the news was too explosive for Cheng Yulan, or perhaps because she didn’t want her rival to find a partner before her, Cheng Yulan showed great interest in Yan Shenghuan’s romantic affair: "Who is the person she likes? I remember from the last competition, there weren’t many that could catch the eye. Could her crush be someone from there?"
Gu Lingxue nodded, temporarily putting aside the competition rules she held: "Of course Yan Shenghuan has someone she loves. When you attended the competition last time, Yan Shenghuan had just come down with a serious illness, but no one knows how she fell ill. You mentioned she looked dispirited, perhaps that’s the reason!"
"Lovesick?" Cheng Yulan immediately shook her head after speaking: "Doesn’t seem likely! Yan Shenghuan doesn’t seem like that kind of person to me!"
Gu Lingxue chuckled softly: "Your desire to win is too strong, that’s why you don’t notice other things! Oh you! How can I even describe you!"
"Know yourself and your enemy, a hundred battles and a hundred victories." This is an ancient saying written long ago in books, but Cheng Yulan didn’t really take it to heart.
Always thinking about winning, she overlooked some interesting matters instead.
"What’s the reason?" Cheng Yulan was a bit puzzled, then looked at Gu Lingxue and asked: "Also, you mentioned, who is Yan Shenghuan’s new crush? Is he more capable than me?"
He should be more capable, right? We are all in the same profession, who would like someone inferior to them?
That man must have something extraordinary.
"Take a guess?" Gu Lingxue looked at Cheng Yulan with a smile: "Guess right and I’ll tell you."
"You!" Cheng Yulan knew Gu Lingxue was deliberately teasing her, just like when she herself played hard to get earlier: "You’re so vengeful!"
Gu Lingxue laughed out loud, readily admitting: "I’ve always been this way! You’ve lived with me for so long and still don’t understand me!"
Cheng Yulan paused, then grabbed Gu Lingxue’s shoulder and said: "Lingxue, please tell me! I really want to know, next time I won’t play hard to get with you, okay?"
Probably because it was rare for Cheng Yulan to act coquettishly with her, Gu Lingxue smiled and said to her: "Alright, alright, I’ll tell you. The person Yan Shenghuan likes is the one you always call a cold-faced iceberg - Cheng Defense."
"Cheng Defense?" Cheng Yulan couldn’t believe her ears, how could it be him?
"Unexpected, huh!" Gu Lingxue candidly said: "When I first heard this news, I was also shocked. It’s said that Yan Shenghuan even chased after Cheng Defense. The two originally could be together, but due to some misunderstanding, they became strangers. I guess it might be related to Yan Shenghuan’s illness!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yulan nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Gu Lingxue and said: "Then why has Yan Shenghuan come this time? For Cheng Defense? Aren’t these two already completely torn apart? Why is she still here?"
Gu Lingxue shook her head: "That I don’t know, maybe she found some clue to clear the misunderstanding, so she wants to give it another shot!"
Ever since Lin Ruixian got into trouble, she had put all her energy almost entirely on Lin Ruixian.
She didn’t care much about other people’s affairs, so naturally, she no longer paid attention to those on the assassin ranking.
Cheng Yulan pondered for a while, then looked at Gu Lingxue and said: "Today during the test, I noticed that Yan Shenghuan’s bag had a new doll on it, it looked quite old. When did she start liking such things? It’s kind of creepy."
Gu Lingxue chuckled softly: "No idea, but you can ask her next time you meet."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yulan immediately shook her head: "Better not! I don’t want to ask and get nothing but disappointment. Yan Shenghuan is as cold as Cheng Defense. If they really end up together, won’t their child be born an ice cube?"
"Maybe when the two of them are together, they won’t be cold?" Gu Lingxue spoke, but involuntarily recalled Lin Ruixian’s delicate face in her mind.
Though he always had a smile, why did she always feel Lin Ruixian was miles away from her?
Is it only the deceased Gu Weiwei who can get close to him? Will everyone else be her substitute?
But Gu Weiwei has already been dead for so long, why does Lin Ruixian still reminisce about her?
What does she lack compared to Gu Weiwei? Will Lin Ruixian look at her even a bit if she becomes number one on the assassin ranking?
At the very least, not use these eyes to think about others?
Just thinking about it, Gu Lingxue’s heart started to ache faintly.
No. She refuses to be any substitute, she wants to be unique in Lin Ruixian’s eyes.
"Forget it, let’s not care about them, it’s none of our business anyway." Cheng Yulan looked at Gu Lingxue and said: "Fill out the registration form as soon as possible, it has to be submitted in three days, I worked hard to arrange this for you, make sure not to lose it!"
"Don’t worry!" Speaking of this, Gu Lingxue nodded, picking up the rules again and asking Cheng Yulan: "Why are there so many changes in this year’s rules? Did the people behind the scenes change, or are they planning something? Why even change this part?"
Her slender fingers pointed to a particular rule, and Gu Lingxue’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Could it be that since Gu Weiwei is no longer around, the difficulty of the assassin competition has been lowered?
Yet what benefit would this bring to the people behind the scenes? Or what is their purpose?
Thinking so, Gu Lingxue’s brows furrowed two more degrees.
"I asked the person who gave me the rules and registration form at the time, and he said once everyone arrives at the venue, someone will explain why the rules have changed." Cheng Yulan drank the last bit of coffee and placed the cup aside: "But I always feel the person behind the scenes has some beef with the deceased Gu Weiwei, otherwise why were those clauses so harsh when Gu Weiwei was participating?"
Now that Gu Weiwei has been gone for so long, the assassin competition has become rather simple.
Even when she doesn’t want to think this way, it’s quite difficult not to!
"Explain it then?" Gu Lingxue felt inexplicably uneasy: "I don’t know why, but these rules give me a weird feeling. Maybe... it’s not as simple as it seems..."
She even felt that the person behind the scenes wants them to slaughter each other this time!
Of course, this was just her woman’s intuition, with no evidence to prove her feeling true.
