Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Upon hearing this, Gu Wusui looked up at Yun Qian, his gaze suddenly deepening. Those eyes, which usually seemed cold and distant, now seemed to hold a hint of murky emotion. He pursed his lips for a moment, as if suppressing something, before finally whispering, "Yun Qian, you know that's not what I meant."

Yun Qian listened, but seemed completely unaware of his forbearance. She continued to look at him with a smile, the cunning in her eyes becoming even stronger, as if she was deliberately trying to continue this "contest." "But from what I heard, this is what Teacher Gu meant."

Her voice was sweet and gentle, but it was like a feather that scraped against Gu Wusui's heart, so light that it was impossible to grasp it, yet it could not stop rippling.

"Yun Qian," Gu Wusui lowered his voice a bit, his tone tinged with a seriousness that brooked no argument, "I just thought you were talking nonsense."

However, Yun Qian wasn't buying it. She propped up her chin, tilted her head, and looked like a cunning little fox. Her smile was soft but also slightly provocative. "Teacher Gu, where was I talking nonsense? I was asking a serious question."

Those smiling eyes had a kind of indescribable agility and boldness, yet they were wrapped in a layer of innocence, making it difficult to blame them easily.

Gu Wusui pushed his glasses up on his nose, his expression still calm and stern, but he couldn't ignore the uneasiness and uncertainty that was stirred in his heart. He lowered his head, flipped open the handouts, and said in a calm voice, "Since you're here for a make-up class, then listen carefully to the questions."

Yun Qian watched him deliberately lower his head to avoid her, and she couldn't help but feel proud. She knew that what she had just said had left him with no chance of resistance.

He had a cold expression, but his tone inexplicably carried a hint of helplessness and forbearance that he himself hadn't noticed. Yun Qian looked at him like this, and found it increasingly amusing. She couldn't help but lower her head and purse her lips in a smile, like a smug little fox, stealing someone's heart but pretending nothing had happened.

But the waves stirred in Gu Wusui's heart at that moment were difficult to calm down. That kiss, though brief, was like a small stone dropped into the lake, causing ripples in his heart that he could not ignore.

"That's all for today's class. If you still want to take my class, remember this: don't do this again."

Gu Wusui’s warning was still lingering in Yun Qian’s mind. She felt it was a bit boring, but she also knew that she should be more patient when dealing with hard-to-get prey.

So what if he doesn't admit it? Red ears will never lie.

Yun Qian stared at the exercise book on the table for a moment, the image of Gu Wusui's departing back still lingering in her mind. His words of "nonsense" were said coldly and distantly, but they somehow made her feel a sense of inexplicable anger.

It was probably because they had been lovers for too long that she could no longer accept a man's cold treatment.

At this moment, a cheerful voice broke her contemplation: "Little girl, are you still alone?"

Yun Qian looked up and saw a man in his early thirties standing in front of her. He was dressed casually in a loose sweater, with a playful smile on his face and a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.

"Hello, I'm the owner of this cafe. My name is Jiang Chengfeng, which means young and vigorous." The man introduced himself and placed the coffee on Yun Qian's table with a bit of casual friendliness. "Just now I saw you and Wu Sui here, and I wanted to come over to say hello, but he left very quickly."

Yun Qian raised an eyebrow. This man had a clear purpose; he had revealed his identity in just one sentence... She probably didn't know what had just happened between Gu Wusui and her. She pondered the name "Wusui" in her heart, but replied casually, "Oh, he left first because of something."

The boss looked at Yun Qian, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He smiled warmly, but his voice was faintly gossipy. "Oh, that's not like Wu Sui. He doesn't usually take tutoring classes easily. What's the matter? You seem to be so compatible with him?"

Hearing this, Yun Qian raised the corner of his lips into a smile, his expression revealing a bit of nonchalance: "Maybe."

The boss became more interested after hearing her answer. When he saw her enter the room an hour ago, she looked very excited, but now she was so cold that she seemed like a different person. It seemed that she was only enthusiastic towards Gu Wusui?

Jiang Chengfeng was a carefree person with many friends, but he was particularly interested in Gu Wusui, a man as cold as ice. Perhaps it was precisely because of the huge contrast between their personalities that he enjoyed teasing this old friend from time to time. Now that he had smelled a little bit of "gossip", how could he let it go?

So he simply sat down across from Yun Qian and asked with a smile, "So, what's your relationship?"

To be honest, he had a hunch that the relationship between the two was definitely not as simple as it seemed. He happened to run into Gu Wusui leaving just now. He was so anxious that he thought someone was chasing him. He didn't even hear someone greeting him. Jiang Chengfeng felt that there must be something unusual going on, otherwise why would Gu Wusui look like he had lost his soul.

Yun Qian looked at his inquiring expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Boss, why are you so gossipy?"

The man didn't get angry. Instead, he waved his hand confidently, "That's not gossip at all. I'm just concerned about my friend. He's always been that way since he was little, cold and aloof, with few friends around him. I saw you two sitting together, and the atmosphere seemed quite unusual, so I asked out of curiosity."

Yun Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the cup, and asked casually, "So he's always like this?"

Yun Qian pretended to believe his words and listened carefully. Jiang Chengfeng kept talking about Gu Wusui's "low-key" and "hidden" nature. The smile that originally had a bit of joking in it gradually faded a little, replaced by a hint of loneliness.

She held a cup of hot latte, her eyes lowered, and she asked casually, "Boss, do you think... is Teacher Gu like this to everyone?"

Jiang Chengfeng was about to exaggerate some story about Gu Wusui's indifference, but when he heard her words, he was stunned and subconsciously asked, "What kind of?"

Yun Qian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up at her boss with an indescribable complexity in her eyes: "He's just... unkind. Can someone like him really care about anyone so much?"

Jiang Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then he revealed an uncontrollable smile in a place where no one could see, as if he had discovered the truth of the matter. He sighed in his heart, "Alas, I'm afraid I was frozen by Gu Wusui's ice."

"That's right." Jiang Chengfeng pretended to sigh and put on an expression of disappointment. "He always looks like 'keep away from strangers'. I don't know why so many people always come to him."

"But I see you had a pretty good chat with him," the boss said with a smile, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Why, do you have some secret that made him willing to give you tutoring?"
