Chapter 7- Campus novel (6)

“Wooo…I never expected the cafeteria’s food to be this delicious!” Gu Anran felt moved as she stuffed her mouth with food and at the same time, swatting away Hong Qingyi’s chopsticks that were reaching for her braised meat.

One must know, in order to increase the favorability rating between the male lead and male supporting lead, they were forced to come up with ideas to get the two males together. Every day, in and out, if it wasn’t bread it was more bread! Originally, they had consoled themselves by thinking that the food was like their old cafeteria, fit to feed only pigs and other animals. After all, which school wouldn’t say their food is good when in reality it was not? Yet, this was different!

You ask, doesn’t the male lead have people bring in delicious meals everyday? Don’t be stupid! Every day it was shark fin or white abalone and Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi could no longer stand to even see that sh*t anymore without vomiting. Tell me, how much do you have to love shark fin to eat it every day?

Unexpectedly, this place actually had five-star food! Ao! I’m so glad to have transmigrated into this world! It would be even better if that pair of chopsticks beside me stop trying to steal my food!

「Side mission (mandatory): Warn the capture targets of the incoming danger. Tell them to be on guard」

En? Another mission has arrived? Gu Anran’s hand stopped, and then moved once again to parry Hong Qingyi’s attacks. Gu Anran looked across at the other side, their lunches clearly untouched and asked in confusion,

“Why are you not eating?”

Mu Qingli looked at the Gu Anran who was fighting with Hong Qingyi and didn’t know why, but suddenly felt an indescribable feeling rise up in her heart. Gently brushing her fingers together, she can still feel the heat from the other’s hand when Gu Anran had held it. Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat. Then hearing Gu Anran’s sudden voice, she snapped back to reality.

“No, uh…thank you for helping us!”

The nearby Chi Mengyan also nodded and said,

“Thank you.”

“No need, it was nothing. No trouble at all.” Hong Qingyi who was engrossed in her task of stealing Gu Anran’s food simply waved her hands at her capture target’s words.

Sure…it might’ve been no trouble for them, but no one else was willing to lend a hand. Everyone else acted like bystanders watching a movie. Thinking like this, Mu Qingli and Chi Mengyan glanced at each other, both could see the bitterness in the other’s eyes.

“But Shangguan Qing, she is….” Mu Qingli wanted to say something but hesitated. Every student in this school was from a wealthy family, so they naturally knew who was considered to be at the top of the social pyramid. Shangguan Qing, Duan Honqwu, and Song Wenyan are at the very top, and yet, for their sake, Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi had offended one of them.

“Don’t worry, even if Shangguan Qing reports this back to her family, they won’t do anything. At most, they’ll cause some trouble or play some little tricks during school. Our families and background will protect us, so you needn’t worry. However, you two, on the other hand, are in grave danger.” Gu Anran said in a solemn voice as she picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth.

Gu Anran actually had a good impression of the female lead and female supporting lead so she didn’t want to see the two of them suffer at the hands of that devilish woman, Shangguan Qing. To let a person like Shangguan Qing inflict psychological trauma onto these two girls was definitely not worth it.

Good thing the system wasn’t being stupid this time and give them any of those strange missions.

“What you mean to say is…that the two of us….might be targeted by her?” Chi Mengyan frowned.

What a roundabout way of saying it! But at least they understood! Gu Anran thought with satisfaction.

“Will that really happen? It’s just a trivial matter….will things really turn out that way?” Mu Qingli paused. She only wanted to create a beautiful memory of her high school life. She never thought that something like this would happen.

“This…we don’t know either, but it’s better to take some precautions. Never walk around alone, but if you have to, make sure to bring one of us, just to be safe. Oh, right, you also have two free bodyguards!” Hong Qingyi said with a smile.

“Free…bodyguards?” Mu Qingli tilted her head in puzzlement and that expression made Gu Anran want to give her two thumbs up! Female lead, you are just too cute!

“Yes, bodyguards…ah! There he is!” Immediately after Gu Anran spoke those words a figure rushed into the cafeteria, stopped and swept their gaze across the room before rushing over to their table.

“Hong Qingyi! Gu Anran! You two actually dare to use I, your father, as a shield! It took a lot of effort to shrug her off of me!”

Of course, the bodyguard who rushed over is none other than Duan Hongwu! Fortunately, the cafeteria was empty, or else this would’ve caused a lot of unwanted attention.

However, Duan Hongwu couldn’t care less about the attention of others. After all, he was used to being the center of attention since childhood. And as for Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi, these two psychos, can be disregarded. As for the other two, Mu Qingli and Chi Wenyan, due to their poor background, didn’t mind being pointed at by others.

“Aiya! Young Master Duan, you don’t like your peach blossom? However, I think your peach blossom is infatuated with you!“ Gu Anran nonchalantly sipped her chocolate milk, completely ignoring Duan Hongwu’s anger. [1]

“What peach blossom! It’s clearly a rotten peach blossom!” Duan Hongwu’s face darkened and he gritted his teeth.

“Aren’t rotten peach blossoms still peach blossoms?” Hong Qingyi ripped off the wrapping paper on her pudding cup and started eating it quickly in small bites.

“You two…”

“Alright, Wu, calm down. Anran and Qingyi were only trying to help some classmates!” The fashionably late Song Wenyan patted Duan Hongwu’s back and smiled.

“Hmph, for Yan’s sake I will let it go.”

「The male lead’s rating towards the supporting male lead has gone up by 5, currently at (75).」

Looking at Duan Hongwu’s red ears and unnatural expression, Gu Anran finally concluded that Duan Hongwu is a bottom! A wild and bratty bottom, hahaha!

“The two bodyguards I was talking about are these two.” Without hesitation, Gu Anran pointed at Duan Hongwu and Song Wenyan.

“Huh?” Chi Mengyan and Mu Qingli stared at them in astonishment. Who would have thought that two of the three most powerful people at school were called mere bodyguards by Gu Anran!

“Hey! Gu Anran, what are you saying? When did I, your father, become a bodyguard?!” The first one to speak out was, of course, the hot-tempered Duan Hongwu.

“You have no choice. You should know your rotten peach blossom’s character the best, therefore you are the most suitable for the job. Just throw yourself at Shangguan Qing and the problem will be solved.” Hong Qingyi looked at Duan Hongwu with a dangerous look in her eyes.

“…doesn’t your conscience hurt at all?” Duan Hongwu’s mouth twitched.

“Conscience? What’s that? Does a human’s DNA need that thing?” Gu Anran asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Please. This conscience thing can only be used on humans. Creatures like you don’t need it.” Hong Qingyi calmly shrugged.

“…..” How can you two even discuss these things so happily?!

“Hehehe…well, let’s introduce ourselves first. My name is Song Wenyan and I am in the same class as you.” Song Wenyan introduced himself to Mu Qingli and Chi Mengyan.

“Duan Hongwu.” Duan Honwu followed Song Wenya’s example and introduced himself.

“My name is Mu Qingli, please take care of me.” Mu Qingli stood up and smiled.

“Likewise, I’m Chi Mengyan.” Chi Mengyan stood up and nodded toward the two.

“Little..I mean, classmate Mu and classmate Chi can follow us from now on. Here are our phone numbers, you can call us if there’s any trouble.” Gu Anran took out her phone from her pockets and made the four of them give their numbers to Mu Qingli and Chi Mengyan.

“Just call me Little Qing.” When hearing Gu Anran’s unfamiliar title for herself, Mu Qingli felt it sounded awkward and felt uncomfortable with, so she couldn’t help but blurt out the words in her heart.”

“Eh? Ok then… Little Qing, you can call me Little Ran and you can call her Little Yi.” Gu Anran was surprised by Mu Qingli’s words but did not refuse her. Isn’t it a good thing if the female lead wanted to get closer to them out of her own volition?

Chi Mengyan looked at Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi, and then Mu Qingli.

“Then…you can also call me…Little Yan!”

「Female lead’s favorability rating has increased by 15 to (45) and supporting female lead’s favorability rating has increased by 10 to (35).」

“Alright, let’s all get along. From today onwards, we are friends.” Gu Anran said to everyone with a bright smile on her face.

T/N notes:

[1] Peach blossom: Usually accompanied with another word making it ‘peach blossom luck’ That means to have the luck where multiple people of the opposite sex like you. In this case, Gu Anran is using the word ‘peach blossom’ to describe Shangguan Qing as one of the girls who like Duan Hongwu due to his ‘peach blossom luck’ Interesting tidbit, just wanted to share.

In case you don’t know, when Chinese people use the words ‘this father, this grandpa’ or any variation of calling themselves father/grandpa, it’s to arrogantly call themselves in the third person as better than the person they are talking too. Such a meme honestly. Smh

Mandarin is weird in the fact that you put ‘xiao’ which means ‘little’ in front of a person’s name who you are close to. Just some shower thoughts for you native speakers.
