Gu Bai was taken aback by these words, then spoke.
“It seems you know about my situation.”
Although Su Wan’er didn’t explicitly state it, Gu Bai naturally understood that the other party was aware of his circumstances.
It seemed she had also heard, to some extent, about his “bad reputation”?
“No, no, no,” Su Wan’er, seeing the slight displeasure on Gu Bai’s face, hurriedly said, “I only heard she was your ex-girlfriend… that’s all… I don’t know anything else.”
Su Wan’er watched Gu Bai’s expression with concern, but the latter didn’t pay it much mind, simply shaking his head and saying.
“If they want to confess to Su Shuhao, let them. It has nothing to do with me.”
Gu Bai had long since moved on.
Now, not only would some brainless nouveau riche confessing to her be irrelevant, but even if some young master from a prominent family or some domineering CEO went after her, it would have nothing to do with him.
“I see.”
For some reason, hearing Gu Bai say this, Su Wan’er secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She had genuinely been worried that Gu Bai might still have lingering feelings for her sister or something.
But now, it seemed that not being sworn enemies was already the greatest miracle.
As for her sister’s movie ticket…
It was probably better to just ignore it.
The two of them ate and drank their fill at the buffet.
After leaving the restaurant, Wang Fu came out from inside and said to Gu Bai.
“Bai-ge, thank you for earlier.”
When that outrageous guy named “Brother Wang” was causing trouble in the restaurant earlier, only Gu Bai had stood up.
So, Wang Fu was still very grateful to his good roommate.
“I didn’t really do anything.”
Gu Bai shook his head.
He really had just stood up and said a few words, but clearly, the other guy was arrogant and hadn’t taken him seriously at all.
People like this weren’t uncommon in life.
At the very least, Gu Bai had often encountered such unreasonable and disgusting individuals while doing part-time jobs, so he was used to it.
“But you were the only one who stood up.”
Wang Fu said gratefully, while also casting his gaze toward Su Wan’er, who was standing to the side, not daring to speak.
He knew Gu Bai’s personality.
This guy was the type who generally wouldn’t take girls out to eat.
The only one he’d ever brought along before was Su Shuhao, and the one in front of him now…
Seemed to be a freshman junior.
Remembering the rumors circulating about Gu Bai at school, Wang Fu couldn’t help but say to Su Wan’er.
“Junior, Bai-ge is a good guy, really, a good guy who isn’t mixed up in the underworld.”
Seeing Wang Fu’s knack for saying the wrong thing, Gu Bai could only sigh and interrupt.
“Don’t go giving me any ‘good guy’ cards. I don’t want to receive a ‘good guy’ card from a man either!”
“Wasn’t I just worried the junior might misunderstand?”
Wang Fu muttered a couple of sentences before being called back by the buffet restaurant’s owner.
And once again, Gu Bai was left alone with Su Wan’er.
Even though there were many pedestrians on the street, for some reason, Su Wan’er felt as if only Gu Bai remained by her side.
This feeling, almost like they were in their own little world, made her cheeks flush slightly.
She couldn’t help but glance at Gu Bai’s face out of the corner of her eye.
In fact, this young man’s looks weren’t as ordinary as her sister had described.
If you looked carefully, he was definitely above average.
With a bit more grooming and styling, he could absolutely capture the hearts of many looks-conscious girls.
“Any plans for later?”
Gu Bai said casually.
“If not, I’ll head home first. There’s a starving little sister waiting for me to bring food back.”
Still immersed in her own world, Su Wan’er, upon hearing this, had only one thought in her mind.
What a heartless Sigma male!
But Su Wan’er couldn’t think of any place to go on such short notice.
In a moment of urgency, she took the movie ticket from her pocket and said.
“W-want to go watch a movie?”
After taking out the movie ticket, Su Wan’er apologized ten thousand times in her heart to Su Shuhao.
After all, this was her sister’s thing.
Originally, it should have been her sister who tentatively invited Gu Bai.
But as it turned out, now she was the one inviting Gu Bai.
If she didn’t say a few apologies, she really wouldn’t feel right about it.
But to be honest, Su Wan’er wasn’t very confident about whether Gu Bai would accept her invitation.
The latter looked at the slender, fair little hand Su Wan’er had extended, feeling a bit at a loss.
This was the first time in Gu Bai’s life a girl had extended such an invitation to him, and it was even a girl he hadn’t known for more than a few days, so he was genuinely quite surprised.
After regaining his composure, Gu Bai looked at the movie ticket offered to him.
After some thought, he still shook his head and said.
“Next time. Besides, going to the movies with someone like me wouldn’t be good for your reputation.”
Gu Bai’s reason for refusing Su Wan’er’s invitation was simple.
If he really went to the movies with her, those students with nothing better to do would see him walking around with a freshman junior, and there would definitely be another round of rumors.
He didn’t care, but for Su Wan’er, the impact wouldn’t be good.
Even without going to the movies, just walking on the street like this, the students around them were intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the two of them, while casting strange looks at Su Wan’er.
So, it was better to refuse.
Hearing Gu Bai’s decisive refusal, Su Wan’er felt a bit empty inside.
But she still looked at Gu Bai and said in a sincere tone.
“I know you’re a good person. All those things people say outside are false.”
The girl’s voice wasn’t loud, but every word was heard clearly by Gu Bai.
The latter was stunned for a full five seconds, unable to snap out of it.
Until Su Wan’er straightened up, her small face, which hid everything behind black-framed glasses, leaned in closer, and she added another sentence.
“But you did have prior plans today. There will be chances in the future.”
With that, Su Wan’er, her face flushed, scampered off like a fleeing rabbit, disappearing in a flash.
Leaving Gu Bai alone in place, scratching his head somewhat confusedly, he said.
“What a strange girl.”
Gu Bai muttered a few words, bought a fast-food meal, and headed home.
By the time Gu Bai returned home, it was already eight in the evening.
Gu Mixue was lying on the sofa, being very unrestrained.
Her hair was dangling down to the floor, and she was sprawled out in a completely casual manner.
“Aren’t you afraid of falling off the sofa?”
Gu Bai looked speechlessly at his sister’s posture.
Even though he couldn’t see it, her little skirt was definitely revealing more than it should.
“Hungry… I’m starving…”
“Didn’t I bring you food?”
Gu Bai handed over the fast food.
Hearing it was food, Gu Mixue immediately perked up.
She scooted over to Gu Bai and took the meal.
But before she could even pick up her chopsticks, her expression sharpened, as if she had detected something, and she said.
“Sniff sniff… Bro, you smell like a woman.”
“Are you part dog?”
