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

Chapter 64

"Senior Fu."

I called out softly.

"Zhizhi, are you alright?"

Fu Yiran's words were full of concern, but his gaze fell on the trench coat draped over my arm.

I was taken aback at first, but after thinking about what Gu Jinhuai had said, I quickly realized what Fu Yiran was asking about.

My smile froze a bit, I coughed lightly, and ignored his gaze.

I didn't expect Song Yuan to be so ruthless, actually making this matter so big that everyone in Lincheng knows about it.

Alright, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite.

"I know everything about what happened to you. Don't worry, I will testify for you. You can contact me anytime if you need anything."

Fu Yiran pulled me to a corner, deliberately lowering his voice.

"Senior Fu, thank you. I will handle this matter."

I spoke seriously and didn't want to involve Fu Yiran.

I went to my dorm to put my things away, and along the way I was subjected to everyone's judgment and pointing fingers, but I ignored it all.

Midway through, a student asked me to go to the principal's office.

Ten minutes later, I looked at the closed office door, took a deep breath, and knocked.

What's meant to happen, we'll have to face.

After a while, a deep, magnetic voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

I slowly pushed the door open, went in, and closed it behind me.

The moment I closed the door, a bunch of gossipy classmates gathered outside the office.

I stood before the principal, ready to accept criticism.

Seeing that the principal was about to speak, I took the initiative to admit my mistake: "Principal, I'm sorry. My behavior has affected the school. You can punish me however you want, but please don't expel me."

My voice choked with emotion as I finished speaking, my hands clenched tightly, receiving the principal's blessing.

“Zhou, you…”

The principal was startled by my words for a moment, and was about to explain when a soft laugh came from the sofa next to him.

I instinctively looked toward the source of the sound and found Gu Jinhuai there, with Song Yuzhou beside him.

"Little Zhizhi, don't be afraid. The principal won't expel you. If he did, he wouldn't be able to work as principal anymore."

As I listened to Song Yuzhou's words, my brows furrowed, and I looked at his unreliable appearance with disgust.

Gu Jinhuai glanced at me without saying anything more, then looked at the principal, signaling him to continue.

"Well, I've already investigated the cause and course of this matter. I won't reveal anything about your relationship with Jin Huai to outsiders. From now on, just focus on your studies. You're a student at Lincheng University. Anyone who slanders you in the future will be going against the school."

I listened to the principal's words, but I felt completely confused.

This school has no connection with the Song family. If they wanted to expel me, all they needed was a word from Song Yuan. I can understand why Song Yuzhou came here, but I really can't understand Gu Jinhuai.

My gaze fell on Gu Jinhuai. His jawline was smooth, and he stared at the table, gently rubbing the pad of his thumb. I had seen this subtle gesture many times in my past life; he always did this when he was thinking.

"Bullshit, Principal, don't talk nonsense. Zhizhi has nothing to do with Gu Jinhuai. I can tell you, I'm clearly pursuing Zhou Nanzhi. If she accepts Gu Jinhuai's advances, I'll eat shit."

Listening to Song Yuzhou's words, I subconsciously agreed. In this life, I don't want to have anything to do with Gu Jinhuai anymore.

To my surprise, Gu Jinhuai suddenly stood up and walked towards me. He looked at Song Yuzhou with a provocative gaze, put his hand on my shoulder, and said in a soft voice, "Then you'd better keep your word and remember to start the live stream."

Gu Jinhuai pulled me to leave, and as I struggled, I heard him say coldly, "Your father is looking for you everywhere."

Instantly, a chill ran down my spine, and I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

I stared at Gu Jinhuai in disbelief, trying to see any other emotion in him, but there was nothing. The man was expressionless, and his dark eyes seemed like an endless abyss, staring straight at me.

He pulled me out of the office, and we walked along a narrow path, his hand holding mine tightly the whole time.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"Your father found out that your mother went abroad, and he's now looking for you to settle scores with. He'll be coming to settle scores with you soon. Are you sure you still want to keep dragging this out with me and marry me? You won't lose out."

I looked at him; he was only a year older than me, yet he seemed old-fashioned and deep-thinking.

"Even if you don't marry me, I still have ways to make a living."

I pulled my hand away from his and retorted.

"Tough talk."

After a long pause, Gu Jinhuai uttered two words.

A cold wind blew by, and I hunched my neck, my hair getting messy by my ears. I was about to reach out and fix it.

Gu Jinhuai gently stroked my hair a few times with his slender fingertips, and my hair instantly obeyed.

“Nanzhi, sometimes you can rely on her.”

I chuckled softly as I listened to Gu Jinhuai's words: "Rely on whom? You?"

He has another woman in his heart; you can't rely on him no matter what.

Gu Jinhuai remained silent, but his eyes said it all.

I said coldly, "In this world, you are the least reliable person. I prefer to rely on myself."

Even if you repeat your proposal ten times, I will not agree to it.

I had to go to the office just now, so I asked Fu Yiran to keep Gu Jinhuai's black coat for me. I don't know where he went.

"Nanzhi."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Fu Yiran waved to me, and I quickly ran over, took the clothes from him, and when I turned around, Gu Jinhuai was already striding over.

Seeing that his expression was unclear, I told Fu Yiran to leave first.

Watching Fu Yiran's departing figure, the man beside him said, "Walking so fast, are you afraid I'll beat him up?"

"With your current status, dealing with us ordinary people is no different than crushing an ant. Oh, and here's your clothes back."

As I spoke, I shoved the clothes I was holding into his arms, but he turned away and didn't take them. The man's tone was icy: "They smell like another man. Take them and wash them."

After a long pause, Gu Jinhuai continued, "Because of the material of this garment, you'll have to hand wash it."

"what?"

Looking at his serious expression, I felt indignant and gritted my teeth, saying, "Fine."

I crumpled up my clothes right in front of him, stuffed them into my arms, and turned to leave.

Gu Jinhuai's voice sounded from behind: "These clothes are expensive, be careful not to wrinkle them."

I listened to the sounds behind me and glanced around. Luckily, there weren't many people around. I loosened the clothes in my arms and took a taxi back to my place.

I had just gotten back when I received a call from Su Qi. It had been a long time since we'd seen each other. I looked at the clothes that were bothering me, tossed them carelessly on the sofa, changed my clothes, and went out.

It wasn't until evening that I said goodbye to Su Qi. When girls get together, they either go shopping or eat and drink, and we were no exception. I was carrying shopping bags and had just reached the door to take out my keys when the door opened from the inside.

An experienced worker in work clothes came out carrying a toolbox.

I was stunned for a moment, and when our eyes met, I thought I had gone to the wrong place. I looked around before I realized I hadn't.

I stared at him warily and asked, "What are you doing in my house?"

I took a few steps back, just about to call the police, when I saw Gu Jinhuai appear behind the old master.

The experienced plumber waved his hand and said, "I'm just here to fix the water pipes. I don't know anything else. You'll have to figure that out yourselves."

Seeing that things were not going well, the experienced craftsman picked up his toolbox and left.

I looked at Gu Jinhuai, my brows furrowed tightly: "What are you doing here?"

"Hello, I will be your new roommate this semester. I hope we can work together smoothly."

Gu Jinhuai extended his hand to me with a serious expression, looking like a business partner. I slapped his hand away and said coldly, "What do you want? New roommate? I don't know anything about you."

Didn't the landlord tell you?

Gu Jinhuai raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.
