Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

"A beautiful woman has invited me; should I go or not?"

Gu Zhichu: "I'm not going!"

Yu Liu: "Go!"

Not hearing the answer she wanted, Yu Liu pouted, looked at Gu Zhichu, and remained silent.

Gu Zhichu: "...Okay, let's go!"

There's just no way to deal with her.

"But let's make this clear beforehand: once I get there, you're not allowed to interfere. I'm not interested in her right now, and I'm not going there for her. I'm going for Li Wenru. As a student's parent, she must know something. I'll try to find out if I can."

Gu Zhichu could only admire Bao Bao's dedication. In any case, whether he went or not, it wouldn't cost him anything. If he went, he could just consider it a home visit for a student. He couldn't concentrate on his studies until Li Wenru's matter was resolved. Li Wenru was already a senior in high school, facing the major hurdle of the college entrance examination. The matter should be resolved as soon as possible.

Yu Liu was very satisfied with Gu Zhichu's tact. "Remember to dress nicely and make sure you look your best before you go. Even if you don't like her, the fact that she likes you is the least you can do to show her respect."

What could Gu Zhichu say? She could only give a helpless, bitter smile: "Fine!"

To be honest, receiving Li Nanmi's invitation was indeed a little unexpected. Li Nanmi was Li Wenru's older sister, the woman who had been so aggressive in the school clinic. Before leaving, she had exchanged contact information with Gu Zhichu, which Gu Zhichu hadn't taken seriously at all. The fact that she would text him to ask him out for coffee seemed a bit odd. Gu Zhichu shook his head, thinking he was overthinking things. She probably just cared about Li Wenru and wanted to find out more. As for Yu Liu's comment about the level of attraction, Gu Zhichu didn't care. Love at first sight might sound romantic, but without mutual understanding, the other person was only interested in his appearance, not his inner qualities. Such attraction wouldn't last long.

The agreed-upon location was a charming coffee shop. School had long since returned to normal, and Gu Zhichu didn't have much to do besides attending classes every day. So, he arrived at the coffee shop early as arranged by Yu Liu. Although he didn't consider this a blind date, he was still pressured by Yu Liu to change into a suit. His hair was carefully combed, revealing his handsome features. When he smiled softly, he was incredibly charming.

Actually, Yu Liu had planned to ask him to take a rose, but the meaning behind taking a rose would be too obvious. Gu Zhichu really had no feelings for him, so naturally she wouldn't do something that would cause him to misunderstand.

The agreed time was 3 p.m., which is actually a good time for afternoon tea. So when the coffee shop waiter came up to her, Gu Zhichu didn't wait for him to ask and said directly, "Give me a cup of green tea."

Waiter: "...Sir, this is a coffee shop, not a teahouse. We don't have green tea, nor any other teas. If you'd like some tea, there's a retro teahouse at the end of this street."

Gu Zhichu said helplessly, "So your service still needs improvement. You can tell from my posture that I'm waiting for someone, and I can't leave!"

Waiter: "...I'm sorry."

Gu Zhichu also felt that his request was a bit difficult, but he really couldn't stand coffee and usually avoided coffee shops: "Never mind, just give me a glass of water, you can always have that, right?"

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Gu Zhichu waited listlessly for her water, glancing at the time every now and then. As the hour hand passed three and the minute hand approached ten, the water still hadn't arrived, and the person she was waiting for hadn't come either.

"I knew it! Based on my years of experience with blind dates, the girl would definitely take a while in this situation. You still insisted that I come so early, wasting time." Gu Zhichu pinched the jade willow she had put in her suit trouser pocket and complained.

Yu Liu remained silent, feeling somewhat guilty. Although she knew some girls had a habit of being late, Li Nanmi had taken the initiative to make the appointment with Gu Zhichu. Under these circumstances, it was truly unbelievable that she would still break the appointment time.

Although Gu Zhichu's chosen spot was in a corner, it was different from his previous choices. He himself didn't realize it, but all the girls drinking coffee in the cafe were glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally, and some even boldly stared directly at him.

People say that men in suits are the most handsome, and there's some truth to that. Before, Gu Zhichu never bothered with his appearance when going on blind dates, probably because of his reluctance to dress up. He wore clothes that had been worn for days and were wrinkled from being rubbed, his hair was unkempt, and he gave off a dirty first impression. His previous clothes were mostly for comfort, so they looked baggy and didn't flatter his figure. Back then, he gave off the impression of a slovenly, nerdy guy. Coupled with his words, which made the girls feel he couldn't satisfy their material needs, his image plummeted to negative points. But now, he wears a well-tailored suit, and every day... His well-built physique, honed through years of exercise, was on full display, especially his long legs encased in suit trousers—enough to make many women swoon. His good looks were also on point; his long, arched eyebrows, usually hidden by messy hair, finally came to the fore. Gu Zhichu's eyes were somewhat narrow, a shape that made even a casual glance seem electrifying. His high, straight nose and naturally smiling lips, combined with his scholarly air befitting a teacher, made him appear, as long as he didn't reveal his slightly goofy side, like a gentle, high-quality young man—the kind of guy many girls would vie for.

His previous slovenly appearance served as a protective shield, preventing him from attracting too much attention. As a result, Gu Zhichu was unaware of his own attractiveness. Suddenly, without this protective shield, Gu Zhichu had no idea how desirable he was in the eyes of the women outside.

Finally, the two best friends who had been drinking coffee next to Gu Zhichu couldn't hold back any longer. Both were beautiful, one innocent and the other alluring, and both were quite attractive. The innocent one stepped forward first, walking to the opposite side of Gu Zhichu: "I see you're alone. Are you waiting for someone? Waiting for your girlfriend? Do you have time to chat?"
