Gu Bai didn’t understand Su Wan’er’s behavior.
In his opinion, Su Shuhao would never make such an intimate move under normal circumstances.
As mentioned before, she had severe heterophobia.
So many times, it was hard for him to even get close to her.
But today was really strange; without him saying anything, this Su Shuhao came up to him.
Could it be that women after a breakup have such a big change?
“What are you doing?”
Gu Bai asked Su Wan’er, and after thinking for a moment, she said.
“There’s nowhere to sit, so I came closer. Is that not allowed?”
Actually, there were plenty of seats where Su Wan’er was, but she still came over.
As for the reason, it wasn’t just to be closer to Gu Bai; on the other hand, it was also to assert dominance.
To be honest, Gu Bai’s appearance wasn’t bad; it was above average.
He wasn’t stunningly handsome, but he was the type that was very pleasant to look at over time.
You know, the girls around were not to be underestimated.
If Su Wan’er hadn’t come over, they might have tried to chat Gu Bai up.
That was a result Su Wan’er didn’t want to see.
Sure enough, once Su Wan’er got closer, those girls with burning gazes immediately gave up on Gu Bai as a target.
They knew their own capabilities and that their looks couldn’t compare with Su Wan’er’s, so they wouldn’t embarrass themselves.
“You have plenty of seats over there.”
Gu Bai continued looking at his phone, not noticing that Su Wan’er had already pressed up against him.
This girl, who was a bit timid by nature, did have some resemblance when playing the role of her sister.
It also allowed her to overcome some of her inner shyness and fear.
She was even thinking about whether she should just borrow her sister’s identity and try to get in touch with Gu Bai that way.
After all, in that case, she wouldn’t have any psychological pressure.
Looking at Su Shuhao, who had completely changed, Gu Bai glanced over in confusion and asked.
“Your heterophobia hasn’t flared up, has it?”
“A little, but I can handle it.”
Su Wan’er knew about Su Shuhao’s heterophobia, so she tried to make her body tremble a bit.
However, this trembling wasn’t entirely faked.
The air conditioning in the private room was set very low, Su Wan’er wasn’t wearing much, and on top of that, her constitution was weak and she hadn’t been eating much nutritious food lately, so naturally she felt a bit cold.
“You don’t have to force yourself. After all, you and I are just ordinary friends. Acting like this will easily make others misunderstand.”
Gu Bai put away his phone and looked at his “good boys” who were having fun with a group of girls, then said.
“Aren’t you going to sing?”
Gu Bai knew that Su Shuhao had a very good singing voice and had participated in many performances. She had the ability to overpower everyone and take first place.
So in this kind of setting, Gu Bai found it quite novel that Su Shuhao, who liked to show off, wasn’t going to sing.
“Not in the mood.”
Su Wan’er sat beside Gu Bai, her little feet swaying back and forth, looking a bit uneasy.
However, Gu Bai attributed this behavior to her heterophobia and didn’t think much of it.
After the two of them had been silent for a long time, Su Wan’er spoke up again.
“Gu Bai, do you hate me?”
Su Wan’er needed to know Gu Bai’s thoughts about her sister.
If Gu Bai hated her sister a lot, then she would also feel a bit uneasy.
As Lai Weiyi said, if she wanted to develop a relationship with Gu Bai, she couldn’t get past her sister’s hurdle no matter what.
Faced with Su Wan’er’s question, Gu Bai thought for a moment and said.
“I have never hated you.”
This was certainly not flattery from Gu Bai; he really didn’t have any hatred for Su Shuhao.
At most, at most, he just felt it was a pity.
He felt sorry for his past self.
There was nothing wrong with the idea of giving everything for the person you liked.
But the regret was that the target of his devotion was wrong.
As for spending so much money on Su Shuhao…
Just like the gifts he had given her before, even now, he didn’t care how much he had spent.
What really hurt was having his feelings ignored.
“That’s good…”
Su Wan’er breathed a sigh of relief, but also became a bit nervous. She tentatively spoke again.
“Suppose I said I wanted to get back together with you, would you accept?”
“No.”
Gu Bai refused without hesitation.
He used to be a simp, and Su Shuhao had said things like this to Gu Bai many times before.
So after waking up, facing this kind of probing, Gu Bai already appeared very calm.
He wouldn’t be overjoyed by such a small favor like he used to.
Now he would only refuse without hesitation.
“A good horse doesn’t turn back to graze on old pasture. Between you and me, at most we can only be friends.”
“I see…”
Gu Bai saw Su Shuhao sigh, and found it a bit strange.
There was no regret in her tone at all; instead, it felt like a weight had been lifted.
On the other side, in the lively crowd, Li Xue cast her gaze in Gu Bai’s direction.
A hint of a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
That look was as if she had spotted prey.
As one of the organizers of this mixer, she certainly wasn’t here to find college students with no real power like Bai Zhanchen.
Rather, she was here to choose someone with strong financial strength.
Gu Bai was precisely her target.
In Li Xue’s investigation, she found that the money Gu Bai had spent on Su Shuhao over the years had reached a terrifying amount.
But now looking at Gu Bai himself, he hadn’t even considered trying to recover that money.
The magnanimity he displayed was nothing like an ordinary person.
Coupled with the rumors on campus, Li Xue believed that Gu Bai definitely had some background.
Whether it was shady or legitimate, as long as there was money, it was good.
Li Xue didn’t care about her own innocence; what was that anyway?
She wanted money, a lot of money.
So, she wanted to hook Gu Bai, this big fish.
After thinking, she took out a bottle containing a colorless liquid from her pocket.
Inside was a drug that could make someone fall asleep quickly and forget everything before sleep.
Commonly known as “obedience water.”
Li Xue took this out; of course, not for herself to drink.
But to find a way to make Gu Bai drink it.
As long as he drank it, she could drag him somewhere, set up a scene to look like something had happened.
And after recording it, she could blackmail him.
If he didn’t comply with her demands, she would post those photos online.
Public opinion on the internet can be really terrifying…
Li Xue sneered and poured a little of the drug into the alcoholic drink.
Then, pretending nothing had happened, she carried the glass over to Gu Bai and said.
“Senior Gu, since you’re here, it would be a shame not to have a drink, wouldn’t it?”
