Chapter 9- Campus novel (8)

“Brother Wu~ Brother Wu~~” The sweetness from her voice (nauseous?) filled up the air, causing the nearby people not only to feel sick but have goosebumps appear on their skin.

Gu Anran looked at the Shangguan Qing who followed behind with a dark expression.

Originally, the six of them had planned to meet at the front of the amusement park around 9 AM. Yet, right after they got in, they heard a voice call out 「Brother Wu~」and then..well there is no need to explain the next part. 「What a coincidence that I bumped into Brother Wu. Since I am Brother Wu’s fiancee, let’s go on a date! The excuse that even five-years olds wouldn’t believe was made so she could follow them…no…it was more accurate to say that she only wanted to follow Duan Hongwu while the others became part of the background.

There was also a large group of men in black suits with sunglasses and smoking cigarettes, following behind them. Not only did this pollute the air, but ordinary people also won’t even come within 10 meters of them! How can anyone have fun like that! Amusement parks are only fun with a lot of people!

Of course, there are a lot of other people (bodyguards) around them, but it’s not the same! How can anyone play with this group following them!?

Oh! And a nearby man who looked gentle and warm at first caught her eye, but the system had to warn them that he was the male villain lead, Shangguan Ying! My day…my mood…how many times must it fluctuate!???

Gu Anran will never forget the look that Shangguan Ying had when he laid eyes on Mu Qingli. That flash of wicked possessiveness and astonishment, Hmph! Like a dog in heat! That expression caused her to stare at Shangguan Ying and at the same time, Mu Qingli was watching her, then looked at Shangguan Ying, her heart feeling twisted into pieces.

This man is so plain and ordinary! He doesn’t even look as good as Duan Hongwu and Song Wenyan! So then why does little Ran keep staring at him? Does she like his type?! How can she love a man that doesn’t even look as good as me! Huh? Why do I care? And…why am I comparing myself with him?

This….probably because….little Ran and I are such good friends! I’m just worried about her! Thus, Mu Qingli began a series of self-hypnosis.

Gu Anran didn’t notice Mu Qingli’s changing expression and quickly turned around, grabbed her hand and ran out, pulling Mu Qingli with her and shocking everyone else.

Hong Qingyi: “….” Damn you! If you were going to run, then tell me! Are we not friends?!

Chi Mengyan: “….” I see! you can even use this trick!

Duan Hongwu: “….” You unloyal little piece of-! Come back here and save me! Ahhhh!

Song Wenyan: “….” Hah….I want to be alone with Wu….

Shangguan Ying squinted at the retreating back with seemingly gentle eyes. Now, no longer needing to hide his feelings, he looked at Duan Hongwu and then Song Wenyan with a look of disdain and jealousy. However, in a blink of an eye, he returned to being the gentle big brother from next door and smiled at the three.

“Everyone, something came up at the company, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“Stay safe Brother Ying.”

“Be careful on your way home.”

He waved at the three and then with a flick of his hand, the group of bodyguards walked out with him. Seeing this as an opportunity, Hong Qingyi also ran away, pulling Chi Mengyan with her. Leaving behind the Duang Hongwu who was so angry that he couldn’t breathe, the helpless Song Wenyan, the idiot Shangguan Qing, and several unimportant guards.

Now, what were the two parties who were being dragged thinking?

Mu Qingli looked at Gu Anran’s hand in (pleasant) surprise, their linked hands caused her heart to pound! Little Ran’s hands are so warm, so soft, I want to hold it forever! （﹃）

When Gu Anran thought they had run far enough, she stopped and turned around..Σ(lliд)! Can someone please tell her why the female lead looks like a star-struck fool right now?!! Then she heard the system tell her that the female lead’s rating increased by 5 to 75…the female lead keeps getting weirder and weirder!

“Um….Little Qing…”

“Eh…is something wrong?” The still dazed Mu Qingli looked at the puzzled Gu Anran.

“Uh…do you want to get something to drink?” Gu Anran asked and pointed at a cafe not too far away.

“Ok!”

Ding-Dong…the moment they walked into the cafe, the strong smell of coffee entered their noses. Ah, finally I can drink coffee again! I’m so excited!!! One must know, Gu Anran used to drink three cups of coffee a day and as Hong Qingyi puts it, Gu Anran has been poisoned by coffee. However, ever since coming to this world, she hadn’t had the chance to drink even one cup, which for an addict like Gu Anran it felt like hell, but she had to endure because of the missions….

“Little Qing…what do you want to drink?” Gu Anran looked at the menu with bright eyes and asked, but after a while, Mu Qingli still didn’t respond. She couldn’t help but look up to see Mu Qingli looking at the menu in a daze. She glanced at Mu Qingli’s menu…eh? There was nothing strange on it, was it worth looking at it so intensely? Then she asked again,

“Little Qing?”

“I..uh…I want a cup of milk tea.” Mu Qingli answered after quickly shaking her head.

“Oh..ok…then we’ll have a latte, a cup of milk tea, and, ah! A muffin, please. Thank you.” Gu Anran only took Mu Qingli’s strange state as her being absentminded and rattled off their order to the waiter writing it down.

“Ok, that’s one latte, one milk tea, and one muffin. Anything else?”

“No, that will be all. Thank you.” Gu Anran waved and returned the menu to the waiter. Then she looked back at Mu Qingli.

Huh? The female lead is in a daze again? What is going on today? Is it because the events yesterday were too traumatic? Then dear female lead, I’m really sorry!

System: Dear player, you’re too dense! ╮(′～‵〞)╭

“Um…Little Qing….I’m sorry.” Gu Anran bowed her head, and uneasily rubbed her hands together. What to do if the female lead is broken? What to do if she encounters more trouble later, what will happen with my future? Huh? How does this have anything to do with my future? Σ(д)

The Mu Qingli who was originally staring at Gu Anran’s hands felt something was wrong and then became more puzzled at her apology.

“Why are you apologizing?”

“Yesterday…when yesterday I…I’m sorry.”

Hearing this, Mu Qingli realized that Gu Anran was blaming herself for yesterday’s events! Should she be angry or laugh, did Gu Anran really think like this? No…yesterday’s incident was not Gu Anran’s fault. Even at a glance, everyone knew who the real instigator was and yet, no one reached out to help, which left caused Mu Qingli’s heart to feel cold.

Seeing Mu Qingli not respond, Gu Anran felt so anxious she wanted to die! Am I being hated? If the capture target hates me, won’t that be a terrible thing?!! What should I do?! (﹏、)

The two people were on completely different wavelengths and sat face to face, their expressions constantly changing. The atmosphere was brimming with tension and awkwardness…

“……”

“……”

Meanwhile, Hong Qingyi and Chi Mengyan were leisurely sitting on a bench, holding snacks and drinks in their hands.

“Little Yan, what do you want to play first?” Hong Qingyi asked as she licked at the ice cream that had accidentally dripped onto her hands and wiped it with a napkin Chi Mengyan handed her.

Still carefully eating her ice cream cake, Chi Mengyan slowly stretched out a hand and pointed at a certain ride. Looking in that direction, Hong Qingyi’s face turned white and then blue.

A roller coaster! And the scary kind that turns a full 720 degrees and one where someone could possibly die! Even if you don’t die, you’ll at least vomit!

Although they were sitting a little far away, they could still hear the screams coming from there. Hong Qinyi, who was deathly afraid of heights, felt her legs go soft. How is this any fun?!!

“Um…Little..Little Yan, do we have to ride that thing or can we do something else?” Hong Qingyi asked Chi Mengyan with a smile.

“This is my first time at an amusement park, and I used to watch it on TV and always wanted to try…” Before Chi Mengyan could finish, she was interrupted by Hong Qingyi.

“Then let’s go, what are we waiting for?” Saying so, she took Chi Mengyan’s hand and walked towards the long line. Today she will risk her life for the gentlemen…no…for this beautiful girl. [1]

Chi Mengyan looked at the back of the girl pulling her forwards and then the trembling hands holding her own hands. They were trembling fiercely and yet, this girl was willing to accompany her. A feeling of warmth surged in her heart.

「The supporting female lead’s favorability rating has increased by 5 to (80)」

T/N notes:

[1]: The original saying is ‘to risk one’s life for the noblemen/gentlemen’ but in this case, it’s for the young beautiful woman.
