Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Two Servings of Honey Water, Two Different Attitudes

"Hiss..."

Gu Yifan couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath at Su Qinghe’s words.

Peeing???

’So that sound of running water just now was...’

’This silly girl really doesn’t see me as an outsider at all!’

’Is that a sound I should be hearing?!’

An image instantly formed in Gu Yifan’s mind, and he quickly shook his head to banish the distracting thoughts!

’I can’t think about it!’

’Any more and I’m going to completely lose it!’

Meanwhile, on Su Qinghe’s end, seeing that Gu Yifan had gone silent, she sat on the toilet with her face beet-red, at a loss for what to do.

Silence...

「A long moment later.」

"Ahem."

Gu Yifan cleared his throat and said, "Uh, I’m back in the neighborhood. Su Hanhan, go tell my mom that I’ll just buy the rice and bring it back in a bit."

"Oh?"

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up.

"You... you’re back already?" she asked, pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah!"

"That guy Wang Zibo drank too much. I just dropped him off at his place,"

Gu Yifan replied.

"Can... can I come down and join you?" Su Qinghe hesitated for a moment before asking in a small voice.

"Hmm?"

Gu Yifan paused, then said, "You want to come down and join me?"

"Mhm."

Su Qinghe nodded.

"Alright! Then go tell my mom, and come on down. I’ll wait for you downstairs!"

Gu Yifan nodded with a small smile.

...

「Ten minutes later.」

Gu Yifan was standing downstairs, not even finished with a cigarette, when he saw Su Qinghe’s goofy figure.

"Hanhan, over here," Gu Yifan said, waving her over.

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up. She quickly trotted over to Gu Yifan and gave him a silly smile.

"Silly Hanhan!"

Gu Yifan reached out and ruffled her hair with a laugh.

Su Qinghe’s face turned slightly red. She pursed her lips and stubbornly retorted in a whisper, "I’m not silly..."

"Oh, I know. Silly Hanhan!"

Gu Yifan glanced at her and said casually.

Su Qinghe: "..."

She suddenly remembered something and quickly pulled a thermos from the bag she was carrying, handing it to Gu Yifan.

"This is for you,"

Su Qinghe said.

"Hmm?"

Gu Yifan paused. "What’s this?"

"Your mom said honey water helps with hangovers, so I..."

Su Qinghe said in a small voice.

"Uh..."

He’d just been wondering why Su Qinghe was carrying a bag so late at night. Turns out it was for this...

’Honey water... of all things?’

For a moment, Gu Yifan didn’t know what to say.

Seeing Gu Yifan suddenly go quiet and stare blankly at the thermos in her hands, Su Qinghe thought she had done something wrong.

Her expression darkened, and she asked in a small voice, "Wh-what’s wrong? You don’t want to drink it?"

Hearing Su Qinghe’s voice, Gu Yifan snapped out of it. Seeing her silly expression, he smiled. "It’s nothing!"

"Thanks, my dear Hanhan!"

With that, he took the thermos from her, opened it, and took a big gulp.

Seeing Gu Yifan drink the honey water, a sweet smile finally appeared on Su Qinghe’s face.

...

「A few minutes later.」

In the small 24-hour supermarket near the neighborhood, Gu Yifan was buying rice when he turned around and found Su Qinghe was gone.

He shook his head helplessly, walked straight to the freezer section, and saw Su Qinghe standing there, staring wistfully at the ice cream inside.

"Ugh..."

Looking at the scene before him, Gu Yifan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, stop looking. You can’t eat that right now anyway!"

he said, shaking his head in exasperation.

"But..."

"I think... I could probably have just one little bite, right?"

Su Qinghe pouted at Gu Yifan.

"Don’t even think about it!"

But Gu Yifan wasn’t falling for her act and mercilessly rejected her plea.

"Don’t you know what state you’re in right now?!"

Gu Yifan said irritably, "You still want to eat something cold? Are you trying to get a stomachache?!"

"Oh..."

Su Qinghe pouted again, a little unwilling to give up.

Then Gu Yifan pulled her away.

...

On the way back to the neighborhood, Su Qinghe kept pouting, looking unhappy.

Looking at her like this, Gu Yifan really wanted to give her a big slap, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

"Alright, stop pouting. You could hang an oil bottle from your lip!" Gu Yifan couldn’t help but roll his eyes and say irritably.

Su Qinghe shot him a glance. She didn’t want to talk to this stinky guy who wouldn’t let her have any ice cream!

"Hey!"

"Su Hanhan, if you keep this up, I’m going to get angry!"

Gu Yifan said in a cold tone.

Hearing this, Su Qinghe’s face immediately fell. She then forced a smile at Gu Yifan and said, "I... I’ll be good and won’t eat it. Please don’t be mad, okay?"

"Hmph."

"Should’ve just done that from the start!"

Gu Yifan said irritably.

With that, he walked back into the neighborhood, carrying the bag of rice in one hand and pulling her along with the other.

...

「The next afternoon.」

Gu Yifan was enjoying being fed by Su Qinghe when Wang Zibo appeared at his door wearing a pair of sunglasses.

"Hmm?"

The moment he opened the door, Gu Yifan was dumbfounded.

"Dude, you jackass, what’s with this look?" he said, exasperated.

Wang Zibo’s expression was a bit unnatural. He stammered, "It’s... it’s sunny outside, heh heh..."

Gu Yifan glanced outside, and his face darkened.

’What the fuck!’

’It’s completely overcast outside, not even a shadow of the sun, and you’re fucking telling me it’s too sunny?!’

Wang Zibo looked awkward and quickly changed the subject. "Brother Fan, hey, my acceptance letter came. It says school starts on September 15th. When does your school start?"

"Oh, mine says August 22nd. Why?"

Gu Yifan said.

"Is that so?"

Wang Zibo sounded a bit disappointed. "Well, I guess we can’t go to Jinling together then!"

"It’s not impossible if you want to go together, but I have to leave in a couple of days!"

Gu Yifan said, glancing at him.

"Huh?"

Wang Zibo was taken aback, confused. "You’re going to Jinling in a couple of days? But there’s still about half a month left. Why are you going so early?"

"I have other business!"

Gu Yifan didn’t bother explaining further and just said it casually.

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that Gu Yifan wasn’t explaining what he was going to do, Wang Zibo didn’t press the issue.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then never mind. You and Sister-in-law Qinghe can go first. I’ll just go by myself later, or I’ll see who else from our class is going to Jinling and team up with them!"

"Up to you."

Gu Yifan nodded. "Alright, come in and sit for a while!"

"Uh..."

Hearing the word "sit," Wang Zibo’s expression changed slightly!

"No, no, I’ll be going now!"

he said, waving his hands frantically.

"Hmm?"

Gu Yifan froze for a second. He gave Wang Zibo a suspicious look. ’Something’s definitely off with this bastard!’

"You’re sure you won’t come in and sit for a bit?" he asked.

Feeling creeped out by Gu Yifan’s stare, Wang Zibo quickly waved his hands again. "Can’t sit, can’t sit, my butt hurts..."

With that, he turned and scurried away!

Watching him walk away with his butt sticking out and an unnatural gait, Gu Yifan seemed to realize something...
