Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Long-Planned? Su Qinghe: That Darn Gu Yifan Tricked Me Again

As Gu Yifan was midway through his song, more and more people in the plaza were drawn over by the sound of his voice. The crowd listened in rapt silence, and many even took out their phones and started recording.

Two minutes later.

"As long as you’re here, I will look forward to all three lifetimes..."

Even after Gu Yifan sang the final line, the crowd remained immersed in his voice. The plaza was utterly silent.

A moment later.

"That was amazing!!"

"Incredible!!!"

CLAP CLAP CLAP...

It was impossible to tell who started it, but suddenly, a deafening wave of cheers and applause erupted.

"Thank you, everyone!"

Gu Yifan gave a slight bow to the crowd, then turned to the young woman standing to the side. "Thank you for the guitar and mic. The stage is all yours again, haha..."

With that, he unstrapped the guitar and handed it back to the young woman, who still hadn’t fully snapped out of her daze.

"Oh, you’re welcome, you’re welcome."

The young woman finally came to her senses, hastily taking back her guitar as she spoke.

Gu Yifan nodded. He was about to turn away when the young woman called out to him. "Um... excuse me, can I ask you a question?"

Hearing her voice, Gu Yifan paused. He turned back to the young woman with a slight smile. "Of course, go ahead."

"Um... what’s the name of the song you just sang?"

The young woman hesitated for a moment before asking in a quiet, slightly embarrassed voice.

"Hm?"

Gu Yifan was taken aback for a second before he realized.

’I almost forgot, it’s 2013. This song hasn’t been released yet.’ He didn’t want to explain further, so he just casually said, "Um... the song is called ’Blessed’!"

"’Blessed?’"

’Wait, is that song even online?!’

The young woman was completely baffled.

...

Just then.

"Hey—"

"Man, that was way too good! Sing another one!"

"Yeah, you! The handsome one... Sing another!"

People in the crowd started to clamor, all demanding that Gu Yifan sing another song.

But Gu Yifan just shook his head with a smile. "I’m just a passerby. Let’s give the stage back to our lovely performer here! Haha..."

Before the crowd could react, he quickly grabbed Su Qinghe’s hand, pushed his way out of the throng of people, and vanished into the night.

"Damn!"

Someone in the crowd slapped their thigh in frustration. "I forgot to ask that handsome dude what the song was called!"

"Oh, shoot! That’s right! If you hadn’t said anything, I would’ve forgotten. I need to look up the name of that song as soon as I get home. It was incredible!" someone else chimed in.

"By the way, did anyone get a video? I was so captivated I forgot to record!"

"Uh... I got some, but only the second half. I forgot to record the beginning!"

"Damn, the second half is better than nothing! Can you send it to me?"

"+1"

"+1"

...

Gu Yifan, however, was completely unaware of all this.

He and Su Qinghe had already walked a long way without stopping. Because they had left in such a hurry, tiny beads of sweat had formed on Su Qinghe’s temples.

"Wipe your sweat."

Gu Yifan said, pulling a pack of tissues from his pocket and handing it to Su Qinghe.

"Mm-hm."

Su Qinghe nodded and reached out to take the tissues from him.

Gu Yifan pulled out his phone and glanced at the time. It was already 10:30 PM. He said, "It’s getting late. Come on, let’s get the car and go home."

After speaking, he very naturally took Su Qinghe’s hand, and the two of them walked toward the nearby parking lot.

"Su Hanhan~"

As they walked along the sidewalk, Gu Yifan suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

"Hm?"

Su Qinghe looked up at him, a little puzzled.

"Was my singing good?"

Gu Yifan asked with a slight smile.

"It was!"

Su Qinghe nodded without hesitation.

"And were you happy?"

Gu Yifan continued.

"I was."

Su Qinghe nodded earnestly.

"If you were happy, then shouldn’t you give me some kind of reward?"

Gu Yifan pressed on.

"I should."

Not thinking too much about it, she blurted out the words subconsciously.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized something was wrong.

"Great! In that case, when we get home, you can wear these for me."

As he spoke, Gu Yifan handed her a pair of white knee-high stockings.

"Huh?"

Su Qinghe froze, staring at the scene before her completely dumbfounded.

Then, she snapped her head up to look at Gu Yifan, her eyes filled with bewilderment and shock.

"Hey, what’s with that look?"

"You’re the one who just said you’d reward me. I didn’t force you!"

Gu Yifan spouted this nonsense with a perfectly straight face.

Su Qinghe: "..."

...

「Twenty minutes later.」

East Eighth Street, Xingfu District, Apartment 305.

In the bedroom,

Su Qinghe clutched the pair of over-the-knee white stockings tightly in her hands, her face slightly flushed as she looked at Gu Yifan timidly. "Do I... do I really have to wear them? Can’t I..."

"You can’t!"

Gu Yifan said, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. "Hey, Su Hanhan, I trust you. You wouldn’t go back on your word, right?"

Su Qinghe: "..."

’I’m not a fool. On the way back, I’d already figured it out. That jerk Gu Yifan had this planned all along!’

’And I just let him lead me on, step by step!’

’That Big Bully is picking on me again!’

’Waaaah...’

"Well... I’ll step out for a bit. Call me when you’re changed!"

Gu Yifan didn’t give Su Qinghe a chance to object, turning and walking out of the bedroom.

Watching his retreating back, Su Qinghe knew in her heart that there was no escaping this time...

Two minutes later.

Gu Yifan hadn’t even finished his cigarette when he heard the door to Su Qinghe’s room open.

He turned his head, and his eyes instantly glazed over.

’Holy shit!’

’White stockings increase attack speed, black stockings increase crit chance!’

’The legends are true!’

Gu Yifan took two long drags from his cigarette, forcing himself to calm down a little.

Meanwhile, Su Qinghe saw the ravenous look in Gu Yifan’s eyes and became so shy she couldn’t bring herself to meet his gaze.

’If he wants to... should I resist?’

’But... I can’t win in a fight against him!’

’What do I do?’

’Waaaah...’

Su Qinghe’s heart was pounding with nervousness!

And so, after calming himself slightly, Gu Yifan meticulously admired her from top to bottom, inside and out.

Su Qinghe’s face was so red it looked like it might start dripping. She asked in a small, weak voice, "C-Can I change now?"

"Wait a minute!"

"I almost forgot the most important part!"

Gu Yifan said, pulling his phone from his pocket.

CLICK!

The image was captured!

In the photo, Su Qinghe’s face was flushed, her expression caught between wanting to speak and holding back. Amidst her youthful innocence was a hint of that "attack speed" charm. ’Another collector’s edition!’ Gu Yifan nodded in deep satisfaction.

Suddenly!

A bold idea flashed through his mind!

He looked up at Su Qinghe and said, "Hey, Su Hanhan, I know a classic technique called ’grinding tofu.’ Want to learn?"

Su Qinghe: "???"
