Watching Wang Fu’s unyielding demeanor, Gu Bai felt a wave of embarrassment, then goosebumps covered his body.
Without saying a word, he tried to pull his hand away, but Wang Fu clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go, completely denying Gu Bai any chance to break free.
In the end, amidst repeated cries of “foster father,” Gu Bai helplessly transferred fifty yuan to the shameless Wang Fu.
“Really transferred?”
Wang Fu was also stunned.
To that, Gu Bai said in a huff, “What else? You want me to let you hold my hand while we eat?”
Seeing Wang Fu succeed, the other two “good sons” also had stars in their eyes.
Faced with their pressuring approach, Gu Bai could only transfer fifty yuan to each as well.
After receiving the money, these three shameless guys returned to normal and even took back the coffee they had originally intended for Gu Bai.
Extremely shameless.
“You guys are really ripping me off.”
“Bro Bai, you’ve ripped us off plenty too. This is just payback.”
Wang Fu smirked proudly.
But Gu Bai didn’t bother about the money.
He was generous to those around him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to stay with Su Shuhao for so long.
“Speaking of which, that was really satisfying!” Wang Yu chimed in.
“Bro Bai, you’re not really the type who can handle both black and white, from a family with a mine, are you?”
“I really am not.”
Gu Bai shrugged.
For himself, it was indeed the truth.
And he never relied on his family to pave shortcuts.
He had forged his own path all the way.
“Then how did you manage to get the police chief locked up?”
“Well…”
Gu Bai roughly recounted some information he had encountered while working part-time as a private detective.
One such was a company under the Wang family, specializing in student loans, nude loans, and usury.
So after discovering this, as a well-behaved youth of the new era, Gu Bai naturally collected all its information and reported it to a police officer he trusted.
That officer was none other than Chen Sir.
He was also a capable man.
Using the intelligence provided, he followed the trail and caught all the bribe-takers connected to the Wang company.
The police chief was just one of those bribe-takers.
After finishing his story to these three good sons, Gu Bai instructed, “If you don’t have money and are about to starve, you can come borrow from me. Absolutely never touch these online loans or similar things. Even a little could bankrupt you.”
Gu Bai also mentioned a few cases that made the three feel a lingering fear.
They couldn’t help but curse a certain Wang as a scumbag degenerate.
“But speaking of that, Su Shuhao was with you at the time.”
Wang Yu recalled the situation back then, how Su Shuhao and Gu Mixue had been bullied, and that’s when Gu Bai stepped in.
Of course, according to Wang Yu’s understanding, Gu Bai just making phone calls was already good.
If he really took action…
That Wang guy would have suffered.
Gu Bai said casually, “At that time, I went out with my sister and ran into her, so we had a meal together.”
After all, it was about Su Shuhao.
Gu Bai couldn’t openly say he went to the cinema with her, even if he brought his sister along.
If these three good sons heard, they would definitely worry about him.
So sometimes, it’s better to say less.
“Did you eat?”
“Of course,” Wang Yu nodded.
“I went to eat with my girlfriend. As for these two in the dorm… you know, they usually just eat instant noodles when they have no class.”
This was the decadent college life, but unfortunately Gu Bai didn’t like it.
He preferred to find something to do.
The world is big, but money in hand is the most important.
That was Gu Bai’s current life philosophy.
It seemed materialistic, but Gu Bai really didn’t like talking about hopes and ideals.
Keeping his feet on the ground was the most important.
“Since you guys have eaten, I’ll head to the cafeteria myself?”
“Bro Bai, have a good journey.”
“Don’t talk as if I’m going to die.”
Gu Bai laughed and cursed, then left the dorm.
He planned to go to the cafeteria on the north side of Nanjiang University.
It was closer and the food was quite good.
The only drawback was that it was a bit expensive. But to Gu Bai, this amount of money was nothing.
Soon, he arrived at the north cafeteria.
Since it was mealtime and the freshmen had just finished military training, the cafeteria was extremely crowded.
No choice, Gu Bai found a window he liked and stood at the end of the line.
When Gu Bai got his food, he casually sat at an empty seat.
Because of Gu Bai’s reputation, no one dared to share a table with him.
It had been like this throughout college, so he was used to it.
He ate by himself, but suddenly heard the sound of someone sitting on the chair in front of him.
Looking up, he saw Su Shuhao sitting opposite him.
Su Shuhao seemed to have spotted Gu Bai long ago.
She put on an extremely cold expression, as if still angry about what happened earlier.
Or rather…
As long as Gu Bai didn’t go along with her wishes, she would maintain this attitude for a very long time.
Gu Bai shrugged indifferently and said, “If you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to sit opposite me.”
“Student Gu Bai, haven’t you noticed that the only empty seat around is here?”
Su Shuhao said coldly.
“Or do you want to selfishly occupy an entire table?”
That’s more like it.
This was the feeling Su Shuhao should have.
Gu Bai nodded with great satisfaction.
The “Su Shuhao” who had gone to the cinema with him earlier felt somehow indescribably strange.
But now, seeing this personality of coldness with a hint of sharp tongue, it was indeed Su Shuhao without a doubt.
“The students around are too enthusiastic. They voluntarily gave me this table, so what can I do?”
Gu Bai wouldn’t just let Su Shuhao scold him obediently.
“Sit if you like.”
With that, Gu Bai stopped paying attention to Su Shuhao and started eating on his own.
At that moment, Su Shuhao watched Gu Bai eat with his head down and couldn’t help frowning.
Of course, she didn’t come to sit opposite him just to annoy him or anything.
It was just that…
The freshmen in military training were far too many.
Su Shuhao had a strong phobia of the opposite sex.
If any other guy sat next to her, it would cause a very intense discomfort.
Thankfully she found Gu Bai; otherwise, she would have had to find a place to eat standing up.
After all, some counters here didn’t have takeout options; you had to dine in.
Seeing that Gu Bai wasn’t talking, Su Shuhao naturally didn’t want to bother with him either and started eating on her own.
“Here you go.”
In the face-to-face situation, Su Shuhao habitually picked up the braised pork she didn’t like and placed it into Gu Bai’s bowl.
