Chapter 1818: Chapter 1818: Adorkable Schoolgirl vs. Gorgeous Teacher (Part 5)
There were no more classes that afternoon after this one, so Gu Shengyin packed up her things and headed toward the dorm with Song Ruanruan.
They had barely walked out of the teaching building when a boy blocked their way.
Seeing how red his face and ears were, Song Ruanruan instantly got it.
She glanced at Gu Shengyin beside her and decisively said, "I’ll wait for you over there."
Then she quickly walked to a small pavilion not far ahead.
Gu Shengyin froze for a second, then immediately understood what was going on.
Strictly speaking, Chang Yu was quite popular at A University, and getting stopped by boys on the road for confessions wasn’t exactly rare.
"Classmate, what can I do for you?" she asked politely.
The boy seemed a bit nervous. After about half a minute of silence, like he’d finally gathered all his courage, he shouted with a burn-the-bridges determination at Gu Shengyin, "Senior Chang Yu, I like you! Please go out with me!"
Gu Shengyin: "..."
Direct enough, simple and rough—typical little boy!
From the way he talked, he was clearly a freshman.
Gu Shengyin didn’t say anything.
After blurting out his plan, the boy lowered his head. When he didn’t hear Gu Shengyin respond for a long time, he finally raised his head to look at her in confusion.
The moment he looked up, his gaze met Gu Shengyin’s clear, limpid eyes.
His face, which had just barely cooled down a bit, turned red all over again.
Looking at him like this, Gu Shengyin’s heart softened a little: what an adorably pure boy.
She thought for a moment, then said, "I’m really sorry, junior."
Normally, words like that were a polite way of turning someone down.
A visible look of disappointment appeared on the boy’s face.
But he was more persistent than Gu Shengyin had expected. "Senior, can I be so bold as to ask you one thing? What kind of guys do you like? I can change. I’m willing to become the kind of man you like."
The moment she heard that, the image of Guan Hanting’s handsome, expressionless face flashed through Gu Shengyin’s mind.
So she answered, "I like mature men—self-disciplined, rigorous, who don’t indulge themselves or their lives, and who have a sense of romance."
She didn’t expect that as soon as she finished, the junior suddenly went, "So the rumors that you like Teacher Guan are actually true."
Gu Shengyin: "..."
What exactly had she just said?
Okay, she admitted it: those "requirements" she’d just listed were subconsciously based on Teacher Guan.
But does everyone seriously know that she likes Guan Hanting?
She was staring blankly, dazed, and the boy assumed she was shy because he’d exposed her secret crush.
He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze firm as he said, "I won’t give up! Senior, just you wait—I’ll work hard to become a man like Teacher Guan!"
As soon as he finished, he didn’t even give Gu Shengyin time to react before turning around and striding away.
That retreating back screamed reckless determination from every angle.
Gu Shengyin: "..."
She really wanted to stretch out an Erkang hand, grab the boy, and yell, Young man, exactly what kind of drama have you made up in your head?
Also, stop hanging yourself on my tree—I’m telling you, we are never going to happen!
She shook her head, looked toward the small pavilion not far away, and got ready to walk over to find Song Ruanruan.
Then she heard clear, steady footsteps approaching from behind.
Gu Shengyin subconsciously turned her head. A black suit, neat to the last detail, tie perfectly straight, cuffs buttoned, hairstyle immaculate.
With that serious look, like he could go attend an international conference in the very next second—who else could it be but Guan Hanting?
But that wasn’t what left Gu Shengyin dumbfounded.
The problem was that where she was standing just happened to be a corner.
So here came the question.
The conversation she’d just had with that boy.
How much of it had Teacher Guan heard!
——
Ten updates.
Finally finished today’s word count before midnight.
There’ll be another ten thousand words tomorrow.
Last two days of the month, countdown time. If you still have monthly votes, darlings, remember to投给枝枝.
Good night~
