Gu Mixue’s thoughts were actually quite simple.
That woman named Su Shuhao wanted to invite her brother to a movie, right?
Since she was already offering, it would be a waste to simply refuse.
As for worrying about the two of them sparking some romantic flames again—couldn’t she just tag along?
With that in mind, Gu Mixue spoke directly.
“Bro, accept her invitation, but mention beforehand that you’re bringing someone with you.”
“You little…”
Looking at Gu Mixue’s enthusiastic face, Gu Bai could only say helplessly, “Taking advantage of small favors isn’t something you should do.”
“What’s the big deal?”
Gu Mixue said in a coaxing tone.
“Bro, just tell her. See what her reaction is when you say you’re bringing someone.”
“I think she’d kill you.”
Gu Bai had no choice.
He always spoiled his younger sister…
Except when she was being too much.
Since he’d agreed to his sister’s request, Gu Bai took out his phone, typed a bit, and sent a message.
“Fine, I’ll go with you, but I need to bring someone.”
Gu Bai couldn’t be bothered to explain that the person he was bringing was his sister.
If Su Shuhao wanted to misunderstand, so be it.
He didn’t expect her to agree anyway.
“There, sent.”
Specifically showing Gu Mixue the message on his phone, Gu Bai walked over to the girl.
“Hehe, I knew you’re the best, bro.”
Gu Mixue smiled like a little devil, and the two of them headed toward Moore Street.
Gu Bai knew very well that his sister loved eating fruit—any kind of fruit, she loved it all.
So when she found out that Moore Street in the university town had coconuts for sale, she immediately came to Gu Bai to buy some.
The siblings walked along the street. Because of Gu Bai’s “infamous reputation,” no one dared to approach them despite Gu Mixue’s beauty.
But generally speaking, aside from some clueless people, normal folks would tactfully keep their distance when seeing a man and woman walking together.
“Bro, bro, my bestie said it’s right here!”
“If you know where it is, why not just come by yourself? You had to drag me along…”
The weather was so hot that going out was pure torture.
Gu Bai had planned to stay in his dorm until dark.
But he couldn’t resist his sister’s stubbornness.
“Bro, hmph, your sister is very popular, you know. You wouldn’t want to suddenly get a brother-in-law out of nowhere, would you?”
“Then at least that person has to be better than me first.”
As for his sister’s other half, Gu Bai had very high standards.
Partly because of their family situation, and partly because he was worried Gu Mixue might get her feelings toyed with.
Actually, it wasn’t just Gu Bai—even his parents had extremely high requirements for Gu Mixue’s future partner.
They entered the coconut shop and found seats.
After chatting for a while, the ice-cold coconuts were finally served.
“Whoa~”
Gu Mixue made a strange sound after taking a sip.
“So good, I feel alive again. It’s really hot outside~”
“You know it’s hot,” Gu Bai also took a sip and said, “Wouldn’t it be better to come at night?”
“But drinking it at night wouldn’t feel the same.”
At that moment, Gu Mixue gave off the impression of a lazy, melted dumpling—very cute.
“Coconuts are cooling. Don’t drink too much.”
“I know, I know, you old nag, bro.”
Gu Mixue waved her hand dismissively, then took out her phone.
Since she had nothing to do, scrolling through Nanjiang University’s confession wall wasn’t a bad idea.
But she hadn’t scrolled for long when she spotted a very eye-catching post.
“Bro, bro, look at this.”
Gu Mixue eagerly handed her phone to Gu Bai for him to see.
“What is it?”
“That guy called Wang Ge earlier—he’s challenging you.”
Hearing Gu Mixue’s words, Gu Bai began reading the post carefully.
There was a lot of text, but the meaning was simple.
“He wants me to go to the sports field tonight for a physical fitness competition, any event I choose… What is this, elementary school?”
Faced with such childishness, Gu Bai had no interest at all—in fact, he felt like laughing.
“Just let him wait there.”
Gu Bai wasn’t going to waste time on something like this.
Besides, the guy was trying to pursue Su Shuhao, which had nothing to do with him.
This behavior of trying to show off through competition only made Gu Bai find it ridiculous.
“But he said if you don’t come, you’re a coward. It seems quite a few people have noticed this now… Are you sure it’s fine?”
Gu Mixue’s tone held a hint of anger.
As his sister, she naturally wanted to protect her brother’s reputation.
But Gu Bai shook his head and said, “No need. Someone will deal with him in a few days.”
“Huh? Really?”
Gu Mixue was surprised.
“Bro, what’s your plan?”
“No plan.”
Gu Bai shrugged.
There really wasn’t much to explain.
After all, he couldn’t just say he’d already called the police, could he?
That would cause misunderstandings.
Seeing Gu Bai being mysterious, Gu Mixue muttered discontentedly, “Stinky bro, all secretive…”
Since her brother had already made a move, Gu Mixue decided not to interfere.
She was the type to trust her brother completely.
If Gu Bai said it was fine, she believed he could handle it.
So she didn’t dwell on it for long and instead asked, “So? What did that Su Shuhao woman reply?”
“She hasn’t replied yet. I’m guessing she won’t agree.”
Gu Bai looked at his phone.
As he expected, there was no response at all.
It seemed Su Shuhao was angry and planned to ignore him.
—
Not long ago, in the girls’ dormitory 214 for freshmen.
When Su Wan’er saw Gu Bai’s request, she immediately panicked and shook Lai Weiyi’s body.
“What do we do, what do we do?! He seems to have agreed! Oh no, oh no, could Gu Bai still have feelings for my sister?”
“Stop shaking, stop shaking…”
Lai Weiyi, shaken dizzy, quickly calmed her down.
“I know you’re anxious, but don’t panic yet. What did he reply?”
“Gu Bai said he agreed, but he wants to bring someone—sounds like a girl.”
Hearing Su Wan’er’s explanation, Lai Weiyi clicked her tongue.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Actually, you don’t need to be so flustered. Gu Bai isn’t necessarily still hung up on your sister. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be bringing a girl along.”
“That does make sense.”
Thinking it over carefully, Su Wan’er did calm down a bit.
