Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Yizhou, How About I Be Your Girlfriend?

...

A little while later.

Gu Yizhou walked out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of steaming hot noodles.

"Classmate Su, the noodles are ready. Come and eat them while they’re hot."

Gu Yizhou called out to Su Qianqian on the sofa, "If they get cold, the noodles will clump together and won’t taste good."

"Ah?"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s voice, Su Qianqian finally snapped back to reality.

"Oh, okay."

She answered quickly, then got up and walked over to the dining table.

"Wow~"

"These look amazing!"

"Yizhou, I had no idea you were such a good cook!"

Su Qianqian praised him generously.

Hearing Su Qianqian’s words, Gu Yizhou chuckled and said, "Haha, Classmate Su, you’re exaggerating."

"It’s just a simple bowl of egg noodles. I hope you don’t mind."

"Haha, why would I mind!"

Su Qianqian also said with a smile, "I’m being completely honest!"

And so, the two of them sat down to eat the noodles together.

"Meow~"

’Did that jerk forget about me?’

’What about the chicken breast he promised me?!’

Yan Luoxi cried out from under the sofa.

"Haha, Xiaobai, you want some too?"

"Don’t be impatient. Your chicken breast is still cooking. You’ll have to wait a little longer."

"Such a little glutton!"

Gu Yizhou said with a gentle smile.

’Hmph!’

’Who’s impatient?’

’I’m not impatient at all!’

’I just can’t stand the sight of you two shameless lovebirds eating in front of me!’

Yan Luoxi thought arrogantly.

’I can’t see them, I can’t see them...’

Putting her ’out of sight, out of mind’ philosophy into practice, Yan Luoxi scurried deeper under the sofa.

She stopped watching Gu Yizhou and Su Qianqian.

She closed her eyes, pretending to be resting peacefully.

But her perked-up ears betrayed her!

She was clearly dying to hear what Gu Yizhou and Su Qianqian were saying.

But she was too stubborn to admit it!

What a stubborn woman!

Just then, a sudden question from Su Qianqian made Yan Luoxi’s fur stand on end...

"Yizhou, how about I become your girlfriend?"

Su Qianqian asked suddenly.

"COUGH COUGH~!"

Gu Yizhou, who was in the middle of eating his noodles, was so startled by Su Qianqian’s abrupt question.

He whipped his head around and spat out a mouthful of noodles, nearly choking himself to death!

Gu Yizhou wasn’t the only one who was startled.

So was Yan Luoxi.

Her fur stood on end instantly!

She shot her head up, her round cat eyes wide with shock.

’What is this woman trying to do?!’

’So shameless!’

She couldn’t sit still. She immediately crawled out from under the sofa, leaped onto it, and fixed her eyes on Su Qianqian!

Seeing this, Su Qianqian quickly grabbed a glass of water and handed it to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou gulped it down, and his throat finally felt a little better.

"Thanks,"

Gu Yizhou said to Su Qianqian.

He might have looked calm on the surface, but his mind was in turmoil.

He hadn’t expected her to be so persistent after he had rejected her so many times.

Honestly, there was no denying Su Qianqian’s looks, and from their occasional interactions, Gu Yizhou knew she was a good person, too.

It was just... for some reason, he always felt that something was missing with her.

He didn’t have that heart-pounding, ’it has to be her’ feeling!

"Um... sorry, I didn’t mean to."

Su Qianqian’s face was slightly red as she spoke, shy and embarrassed.

In truth, she didn’t know why either; the words had just tumbled out naturally.

The moment she said it, she had already braced herself to be rejected by Gu Yizhou yet again.

"Er... it’s fine. I just wasn’t expecting you to say that all of a sudden. I was just a little surprised,"

Gu Yizhou said, waving his hand dismissively.

"So, Classmate Gu Yizhou, do you have a girlfriend or not?"

Su Qianqian asked, looking at Gu Yizhou curiously.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Gu Yizhou suddenly looked up at her and said with a straight face, "Sorry... I have a girlfriend!"

"Ah?"

Su Qianqian’s face was filled with surprise!

She suddenly grabbed Gu Yizhou’s hand in agitation.

"Are you serious? You really have a girlfriend?"

Su Qianqian stared into Gu Yizhou’s eyes, enunciating every word.

For some reason, hearing this news made her heart ache. She just couldn’t accept it!

"Classmate Su, let go first..."

Gu Yizhou said calmly.

"I won’t let go! You tell me first!"

Su Qianqian said, her eyes turning red.

"It’s true. You’re hurting her!"

Gu Yizhou said helplessly.

When Gu Yizhou said this, the light in Su Qianqian’s eyes dimmed. Her heart ached, and she could barely hold back her tears.

But! A second later, she realized what he meant.

Just now, Gu Yizhou had said...

’His five... his five sisters????’

WHOOSH~

Her face instantly turned red all the way to her ears!

"Pah~"

"Pervert!"

Her face was flushed and her eyes were still glistening with tears, but she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Gu Yizhou.

She had understood the hidden meaning in Gu Yizhou’s words.

Although she was a little shy, she felt overjoyed inside.

Gu Yizhou hadn’t agreed to be her boyfriend, but!

She was now certain that Gu Yizhou didn’t have a girlfriend!

That meant she still had a chance!

Counting this one, it was the eighth time Gu Yizhou had rejected her.

’That stinking jerk is really something else!’

’Why can’t he just accept me?!’

Su Qianqian still felt a little hurt inside.

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi, who was hiding under the sofa, had initially been just as shocked as Su Qianqian!

’In all these days, I never knew Gu Yizhou had a girlfriend!’

But after hearing their conversation, she also figured it out.

’Pah!’

’That mutt!’

’That shameless bastard is a real dog!’

Yan Luoxi cursed inwardly.

If she could speak, she would have stormed out, pointed her finger in Gu Yizhou’s face, and started screaming at him!

...

"Haha, I was just kidding."

"It’s just a meme I saw online the other day. Don’t overthink it,"

Gu Yizhou said with a slight smile.

He wasn’t sure why he had suddenly remembered this joke from TikTok in his past life on Earth, but the words had come out before he could stop them.

It was all just for fun, not to be taken seriously.

Su Qianqian shot Gu Yizhou another big eye-roll.

"Hmph."

"Don’t you dare say such perverted things again!"

"Or else I’ll ignore you!"

She said irritably.

"Haha, I won’t, I won’t."

Gu Yizhou quickly changed the subject. "Hurry up and eat your noodles before they get cold."

Su Qianqian gave Gu Yizhou a deep look, but didn’t pursue the topic any further.

The two of them ate their noodles in silence.

Gu Yizhou slurped his down in big mouthfuls.

Su Qianqian, on the other hand, ate like a proper lady, taking small, delicate bites.
