After seven years of being a "simp," she's reborn and no longer pursuing the aloof sc

Chapter 35

"Zhou Nanzhi, if you like me first, you can't like anyone else. That's my rule."

After a while, Gu Jinhuai released me, but held my fingers tightly, his tone serious, his cool expression revealing his earnestness.

When I met his clear, deep eyes, I was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Zhou Nanzhi, you are mine now. If you want to finish college in peace, don’t be fickle. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to your parents.”

I heard the threat in his tone, my eyes flickered slightly, I cursed him in my heart, but my expression remained obedient: "I know."

Gu Jinhuai is a very stubborn person. Once he sets his sights on something, he will never give up, and people are no exception. This time, I don't plan to confront him head-on.

Gu Jinhuai seemed surprised that I was so obedient, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes when he looked at me.

"Can I call you Zhizhi?"

Gu Jinhuai continued to ask, his tone now sounding more cautious.

"Don't push yourself too far."

I frowned, my face darkened, and my tone became displeased.

"What to eat?"

Gu Jinhuai didn't get angry when I refused; instead, he changed the subject.

"I do not……"

My words slipped out unconsciously, but were stopped by the man's cold gaze.

That look seemed to say, "Try refusing one."

"I want to drink porridge, yes, I want to drink porridge... Oh my god~"

Before I could even finish speaking, Gu Jinhuai stepped on the gas, and the car sped away like an arrow that had missed its target.

I gripped the seatbelt tightly, nestled in the passenger seat, my eyes glaring angrily at the culprit.

It was intentional, he absolutely did it on purpose, to get revenge on me.

Starting today, Gu Jinhuai, the high school bully, has another label on him: vengeful and quick to retaliate.

Soon, Gu Jinhuai led me into a high-end restaurant. We sat facing each other, and when the waiter came, Gu Jinhuai only ordered a bowl of millet, pumpkin, and white fungus porridge.

Not only was the waiter next to me shocked, but I also looked at him with surprise. What kind of operation was this?

Facing our gazes, Gu Jinhuai showed no embarrassment or awkwardness. He released a slight pressure, glanced coolly at the waiter, and said in a detached tone, yet with a hint of displeasure, "Didn't you understand?"

His question made the waiter hurriedly look away, his posture becoming respectful: "I understand."

Then I turned and left. As I watched the waiter's hasty retreat, the corner of my mouth twitched slightly.

Then Gu Jinhuai's voice came from beside her: "Isn't this what you wanted?"

I turned around in surprise and met his gaze: "There's something about you that I really admire. Do you know what it is?"

I rested my chin on my hand, gazing at him with a detached look in my eyes.

The man opposite him raised an eyebrow, straightened up, and prepared to listen attentively: "What point?"

I crossed my arms and met his gaze without looking away: "You have that unique temperament, and that shameless thick skin."

I was subtly insulting him, but the man seemed to have heard a joke. He kept laughing, and his shoulders were shaking because of his laughter.

I stared at him, my gaze unwavering: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just find it funny that you say you don't like me, but you understand me so well."

In response to his words, I rolled my eyes and said coolly, "Confidence is attractive in men, but excessive confidence is arrogance."

Soon, the pumpkin porridge was served. I pushed it directly in front of me and sipped it slowly, not saying a word in the face of the intense gazes from the person opposite me.

I ate my bowl of porridge quietly, and apart from the burning gaze across from me, I felt fine.

I didn't stop until the bowl was empty. My stomach felt warm, and I looked up to meet Gu Jinhuai's gaze. I asked expressionlessly, "I've finished the porridge. May I ask if Mr. Gu can leave now?"

"What's the rush? You've finished eating, but I'm starving."

At this point, Gu Jinhuai's expression showed a hint of grievance, and I looked at him in surprise.

He then raised his hand, and several waiters came over carrying trays.

Soon, several dishes appeared on the previously deserted table.

Looking at the uniquely presented dishes, I couldn't help but swallow hard. My stomach, which had just been full, was now inexplicably a little hungry.

Gu Jinhuai, who was standing to the side, noticed my gaze, raised his chin at me, and said softly, "You can eat if you're hungry."

I turned my face away as I heard his words: "Who wants to eat yours?"

Gu Jinhuai stared at me for a few seconds, then looked away and began to eat.

The delicious aroma lingered around my nose and wouldn't dissipate.

I had just stood up when Gu Jinhuai's voice rang out: "Where are you going?"

"bathroom."

I stared at him speechlessly.

"No, hold it in."

Gu Jinhuai refused without even thinking.

I'm so angry with him. I thought about running away, but I felt it was useless. Even if I ran away today, I couldn't escape forever.

Finally, I threw my ID card at them and angrily asked, "Is it okay now?"

Gu Jinhuai glanced at my ID card, gave a soft "hmm," and continued eating, but his left hand was still holding my ID card.

I felt angry and frustrated, but there was nothing I could do.

It's better than having his parents come.

Feeling depressed, I went to the bathroom. While I was washing my hands, Qiao Weiwei walked in from outside.

"Honey, hurry up, I'm waiting for you outside."

"Hate."

I listened to the sound at the door and watched her walk in. Qiao Weiwei was dressed flamboyantly, wearing a bright red bodycon skirt and a tight top, with two bulges tightly bound in front, which could be seen when she looked down.

Her chestnut brown curly hair was loose and flowing, and she wore heavy makeup with a striking bright red lipstick, but it lacked a certain charm on her doll-like face.

She looks completely different from how she was in school, with a more mature and worldly air about her.

As I looked away, she saw me too. Her surprise turned into panic, but then disappeared.

She swayed her hips as she walked towards me, her tone laced with disdain: "Zhou Nanzhi, this isn't a place you can just come to anywhere. The minimum charge is 8000. Who did you come with? It wasn't some old man, was it?"

Qiao Weiwei's expression was exaggerated, as if she had really seen it. She went further and further, arbitrarily labeling people.

I tolerated it during high school, but I'm not going to put up with it anymore now.

Without hesitation, I grabbed her hair and made her face the mirror on the wall. Although she was smiling, her eyes were frighteningly cold.

"Before you spew your filth, take a good look at yourself. You reek of prostitution. People who don't know you would wonder what you do for a living. You have the nerve to criticize me. Even if I'm not good enough, I still know how to respect myself. Unlike you, who flits between all sorts of men every day. You really think you're just a tool for making money."

During high school, there were many rumors about her at school. Although she stayed out overnight, she didn't dare to do it openly. Now she's becoming more and more flamboyant, but none of this matters to me.

Upon hearing my words, Qiao Weiwei struggled fiercely, roaring and shouting, "What nonsense are you talking about? I, I came with my boyfriend, don't you dare slander me!"

Listening to Qiao Weiwei's explanation, I sneered and retorted, "So you know this is nonsense too? How dare you talk nonsense? If I hear it again, I'll tear your mouth apart."

I grabbed her hair and smashed it against the mirror. There was a loud bang, followed by her scream.

I used my strength skillfully, and I looked at her smeared face with satisfaction before turning and leaving.

I had just crossed the corridor when I bumped into Gu Jinhuai at the corner. The man was leaning against the wall, his cool demeanor revealing a hint of languor. When he noticed me, he turned his head slightly, a fleeting smile crossing his face.

"That's pretty ruthless!"

Gu Jinhuai's smile remained unchanged, his tone revealing amusement.

Before I could explain, I heard the sound of irregular high heels behind me, followed by Qiao Weiwei's angry roar: "Zhou Nanzhi, you bitch, I'll kill you!"

Hearing the voice behind me, I looked at Gu Jinhuai and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Ah."

Gu Jinhuai gave a soft "hmm".

Without saying a word, I grabbed Gu Jinhuai's arm and ran forward.

"Now that you're full, it's time to go."

I don't want to cause trouble. If Qiao Weiwei finds out, she'll probably talk a lot about me in front of Song Yuan.
