Then let the witch offer her loyalty

If a friend gives you a gift, shouldn't you reciprocate?

Gu Qiaoqiao is not like those scheming women who try to string Chen Moxin along. She has no bad intentions and genuinely just sees Chen Moxin as a good classmate and friend.

However, this girl is naive and inexperienced, perhaps a little too innocent.

She didn't realize when she did these things that her reciprocal behavior would leave an uncontrollable void in the minds of her suitors, making them mistakenly believe that there was still a chance.

And so, Gu Qiaoqiao became the "white moonlight" that drove Xiao Chen to the brink of despair, yet he could never have her.

...

At this moment, Chen Moxin glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and then looked away.

What is he going to do?

There's nothing we can do.

What does your original self's white moonlight have to do with me, Chen Moxin?

Being a simp is something anyone can do, I'm not going to be one.

Chen Moxin casually found an empty seat, put her hands on the two male classmates on either side of her, and said with a smile, "Sons, do you miss your dad?"

"Get lost, you son of a bitch, you've gone against the heavens!" The male classmate laughed and shoved him.

Soon, everyone was chatting familiarly.

Chen Moxin had just arrived, so the conversation naturally focused on him.

"Chen Moxin, I heard you interned at the Witch Management Bureau during your senior year?"

"Yes, I've already been promoted to a full-time position."

"Wow! Official business!"

"Quickly satisfy my curiosity, what position do you hold inside?"

"Would you believe me if I said I'm a witch hunter?"

Everyone let out a long "tsk".

"Hilarious! Why don't you just say he's the bureau chief?"

"Show me some psionic abilities, just one and I'll believe you."

"I'm telling you this: if you're a witch hunter, I'll make sure my babies are born without an anus, haha."

Chen Mo thought to herself: Oh no, your child will have to have an artificial anus in the future.

He waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "Just kidding. I'm just an ordinary junior officer, doing odd jobs and sometimes going out on field missions."

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao's voice rang out, soft and gentle, filled with sincere concern and worry: "Xiao Chen, I heard that those illegal psychics are quite dangerous."

“I saw a news report a few months ago that said a witch agent stormed into a kindergarten and committed a crime, but was shot dead by an agent from the Bureau who arrived at the scene. The report said that the situation was extremely critical and that the agent was shot.”

"You must be careful at work in the future. Don't act impulsively when something happens. You must protect yourself first before you can protect others."

These words made the atmosphere slightly more serious, and the students expressed their concern for Chen Moxin, a public servant.

"Yeah, Chen Gou, you must stay safe and sound. The brothers don't want to eat at your feast."

"I heard the Administration Bureau offers good benefits, so just go in and enjoy the perks. Don't actually get involved in anything; your life is more important."

"Yes, Qiaoqiao is right. You have to protect yourself first before you can protect others."

Chen Moxin smiled slightly, poured herself a full glass of wine, stood up, and said, "Thank you all for your concern. I will definitely pay attention."

Then, he paid special respect to Gu Qiaoqiao, the person who initiated the topic: "Thank you also to our school beauty from No. 2 High School."

Chapter 99 Love Rival

The school beauty naturally refers to Gu Qiaoqiao.

Although Gu Qiaoqiao's looks are not as outstanding as those of Luo Lingyou and Dong Xiaobai, she is definitely the kind of person that people can't forget at first glance among ordinary people.

According to the popular rating standards of the internet today, Gu Qiaoqiao is guaranteed a score of 8, and with a little dressing up, she can easily reach a score of 9.

Therefore, whether at the Second Affiliated High School of Beijing University or later in university, Gu Qiaoqiao was universally recognized as the school beauty.

As for Chen Moxin liking Gu Qiaoqiao, everyone here is an old classmate, they're not blind or deaf, so they naturally know.

At this moment, Chen Moxin toasted Gu Qiaoqiao, and the classmates who loved watching the fun immediately started to help, some laughing, some yelling, and some banging on the table, making the atmosphere extremely lively.

"Qiaoqiao, hurry up, the person has been holding the cup for ages."

"From the first year of high school to the senior year of college, a full seven years. How many seven-year periods does one have in a lifetime? Don't you think so?"

"Drinking snow on the snowy mountain, listening to the wind's lament, hearing it tell of a bouquet of roses you once received~"

"Have a drink! Have a drink!"

Chen Moxin suddenly offered a toast, which startled Gu Qiaoqiao.

In her memory, Chen Moxin was a very introverted boy, not someone who was so outgoing.

"Okay...wait a minute...wait...where's my cup...?"

Gu Qiaoqiao certainly wouldn't refuse her classmate's kindness, but this sudden turn of events left her somewhat at a loss. She couldn't even tell which cup was which, looking like a flustered little white rabbit.

Before Gu Qiaoqiao could find her glass, a man sitting next to her suddenly stood up, raised his glass to Chen Moxin, and said with a forced smile, "Qiaoqiao is on her period recently, so don't let her drink. Chen, I'll toast you on her behalf."

The man was very tall, at least 185 cm, wearing a crisp shirt. He had a strong build, regular features, thick eyebrows, and a neat buzz cut, giving him a very tough and masculine look.

Gu Qiaoqiao's face flushed crimson upon hearing the buzz-cut man's words. She lowered her head and tugged at his shirt, saying, "What are you doing...? Don't say things like this in front of everyone..."

Chen Moxin looked at the man with the buzz cut. He was not a classmate of the senior year (14) class, and he did not know him.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, Chen. My name is Zhao Guangzheng."

A female classmate next to her added, "Qiaoqiao's boyfriend."

Gu Qiaoqiao blushed even more upon hearing this, her head practically spinning. She waved her hands, stammering, "No...we're not dating yet..."

Zhao Guangzheng chuckled and scratched his head, replying humorously, "He's not my boyfriend yet, so who knows what will happen in the future, haha."

The meaning is already obvious.

Zhao Guang is pursuing Gu Qiaoqiao, but he hasn't won her over yet, and they haven't officially established a relationship.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao must have already been inclined to accept Zhao Guangzheng, otherwise she wouldn't have let an outsider like him come to her class reunion.

The two are currently separated by a small river. Once they cross that river, they will be a real couple.

Zhao Guangzheng's sudden speech made the atmosphere at the dinner table somewhat awkward.

Everyone in Senior Three (14) knows that Chen Moxin is Gu Qiaoqiao's simp, and he has been pursuing her since the first year of high school.

There were actually many boys in the class who liked Gu Qiaoqiao, but Chen Moxin was the only one who persisted in pursuing her from high school to college.

To be honest, with this kind of perseverance, if Chen Moxin ever manages to rise to the top through his sycophantism, the boys in his class will definitely not be jealous; he deserves it.

But who would have thought that Zhao Guangzheng would suddenly appear today?

When this guy followed Gu Qiaoqiao in, the classmates were all surprised.

It feels like... the cabbage in my class has been eaten by wild boars outside.

Now, Chen Moxin is toasting Gu Qiaoqiao, and Zhao Guangzheng is stepping in to stop her from drinking.

The atmosphere between a simp and his potential boyfriend is incredibly awkward.

Several boys were even considering finding an excuse to take Chen Moxin outside to calm down and stabilize his emotions, lest he break down on the spot.

However, Chen Moxin remained calm and friendly, showing no sign of disappointment.

He politely raised his glass to Zhao Guangzheng and said, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I was just wondering if one of my classmates had changed his appearance drastically, because I didn't recognize him at first."

"Haha, Chen is very humorous," Zhao Guangzheng said slowly. "I often hear Qiao Qiao mention you. She said you were classmates in high school and were in the same class for four years in college. She also said you are a very upright boy."

"A guy as outstanding as Chen must have a lot of girls who like him. He should start dating soon."

On the surface, these words were praising Chen Moxin, but the subtext was actually—don't waste your time on Gu Qiaoqiao, hurry up and find another woman.

The fact that Zhao Guangzheng could speak so eloquently and subtly, even with hostility, shows that he had considerable social experience.

Many students were quite naive and genuinely thought Zhao Guang was praising someone, believing that this person spoke confidently and generously, and seemed alright.

A few students also sensed the underlying meaning and looked at Chen Moxin with some concern, fearing that he might break down and cause an unpleasant incident.

However, Chen Moxin's mood remained unchanged, and she smiled calmly, "Thank you. I hope you and Qiaoqiao will be happy too. She's a good girl."

After saying that, he drank his wine, sat down, and continued chatting and laughing with his classmates.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually returned to its usual lively state.

The conversations were mostly initiated by Chen Moxin, who talked about various interesting things from high school and college. Occasionally, when classmates were curious about his work at the Administration Bureau, he would pick out some unimportant things to talk about to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

For a time, Chen Moxin became the dominant figure at the dinner table, and everyone talked about whatever he led the conversation.

During this time, Gu Qiaoqiao naturally joined in, chatting happily with everyone.

The only thing she found strange was that Chen Moxin had changed quite a bit in the past six months.

He used to be introverted; while not exactly autistic, he was far from being cheerful.

But since he left school for an internship in the second half of his senior year, he has really changed a lot in more than half a year. He has become very talkative and gives people the feeling of a sunny big boy.

Of course, Gu Qiaoqiao didn't think much of it, assuming that work had changed Chen Moxin, and continued to chat and laugh with everyone.

The only awkward one now is Zhao Guangzheng. Chen Moxin is mostly talking about high school, and as an outsider, he can't get a word in edgewise. He can only sit there like a block of wood.

After sitting for more than half an hour, Zhao Guangzheng couldn't sit still any longer and made an excuse to go out for a smoke.

Not long after, Chen Moxin also received a phone call.

"Oh, you've arrived? Okay, I'll come down."

He put away his phone and said to his classmates, "I have to go downstairs to take care of something. I'll be right back. You guys eat first."

After Chen Moxin left, the atmosphere became slightly quieter.

One of the girls asked, "Qiaoqiao, why did you bring a guy with you?"

Gu Qiaoqiao scratched her face, looking rather embarrassed, and said, "I didn't want him to come, but he insisted on coming, and there was nothing I could do..."

The girl gently poked Gu Qiaoqiao's head.

"You should think more about this. It must be really upsetting for Chen Moxin to bring a man here like this."

"Huh? What's wrong with Chen Moxin?"

"You're asking what's wrong? Don't you know he's always liked you?"

"Hmm..." Gu Qiaoqiao paused, her expression turning somewhat strange. "He used to like me, I know..."

"But he's long since moved on from it; he has a girlfriend now."

The table fell into an eerie silence.

A moment later, everyone let out a loud exclamation: "Huh???"

Chapter 100 Xiao Chen was subjected to PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics.

Chen Moxin left the private room and went downstairs to the entrance of Dingsheng Hotel, looking at the crowds coming and going.

"Chen Moxin".

Soon, a voice called out from not far away, and a girl walked towards him while waving.

The girl was about the same age as Chen Moxin, probably both seniors in college. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she knew how to dress herself. She wore trendy Korean-style makeup, a burgundy dress, and black stockings and high heels.

When it comes to appearance, it's often easier to change clothes than to change one's temperament.

If this makeup and outfit were worn by Lu Yilan, the mature and alluring woman in the social test, it would be absolutely irresistible.

But when a female college student dresses like this, it gives the impression that she's not that old, but she's trying to look mature with heavy makeup.

The girl in front of me is named Tan Shengmei. She is 21 years old, a recent graduate in psychology, and is in the same class as Chen Moxin and Gu Qiaoqiao.

This is Chen Moxin's girlfriend.

More accurately, she was the original owner's girlfriend.
