21: Chapter 21 An unexpected encounter with Liu Xiu and his classmate
After eating dinner, Gu Yanchen took Su Yue to see a movie, as if Zhang Xiaoxiao's appearance was just a minor interlude that no one took to heart.
At the cinema, a youth romance drama was playing.
Su Yue leaned against Gu Yanchen's shoulder, yawning, with tears at the corners of her eyes.
Watching him focus intently on the movie, Su Yue pursed her lips; such a brainless movie, only he could watch it.
Gu Yanchen fed her popcorn while watching, but she turned her head, and he missed.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yue shook her head.
"Is it not good?"
Su Yue countered: "Do you think it's good?"
Gu Yanchen thought for a moment: "It's quite brainless."
It is quite brainless!
Her biological mother is dying, and the female lead is still pestering the man, asking if he loves her?
Please, her mother is dying, can she pause the romance drama for a second!
The hour-long movie finally ended, and Su Yue dragged Gu Yanchen away; if she kept watching, she would die of boredom.
"The air outside is better!" Su Yue couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Yanchen looked at her with amusement; it really was hard on her to finish that hour-long movie.
Just as they exited the cinema, they ran into Liu Xiu and Su Yues deskmate, who were coming out from another exit.
The two were walking and chatting happily. Su Yue narrowed her eyes and poked the man beside her, signaling him to look over there.
Gu Yanchen glanced at the pair without thinking much: "What is it?"
Su Yue looked up at the sky speechlessly. Expecting him to see something was like expecting a sow to climb a tree!
"Su Yue!" Su Yues deskmate saw her and waved excitedly. Upon seeing Gu Yanchen, she retracted her hand, wishing she could disappear on the spot, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
Liu Xiu's eyes lit up with golden light when he saw Gu Yanchen, but when he saw Su Yue, he nearly ground his back teeth to dust.
Gu Yanchen nodded at him without speaking, then glanced at Su Yues deskmate.
Su Yues deskmate silently moved behind Liu Xiu, attempting to block his gaze.
Seeing Liu Xiu's puffed-up face, Su Yue deliberately reached out to touch Gu Yanchen's chest. Still not satisfied, she pinched his butt, and while facing his man-eating glare, she puffed out her full chest.
Gu Yanchen's face turned bright red, feeling quite embarrassed: "Baby, what are you doing? There are people here!"
Su Yue said brazenly: "Rewarding you for your good behavior today!"
Gu Yanchen let out an "Oh," clearly a bit disappointed.
[It made him excited for nothing; he had already imagined ten thousand ways to do her in his mind!]
Su Yue looked at Liu Xiu provocatively, but suddenly hearing his inner voice, she nearly choked to death on her own saliva.
What kind of ghost things does he think about all day? Before she caught him, she did think every day about how to sleep with him, but now she only wants to know how to survive in the Apocalypse!
Liu Xiu was whispering something in his ear, and his words were all bad-mouthing her, saying that a woman like her must have been with many men, might even have some dirty disease, and telling him to be careful of her...
Dog man, actually bad-mouthing her; she would remember this.
Gu Yanchen let it go in one ear and out the other; his words were like farts, and his eyes stayed fixed on Su Yue.
Su Yue raised an eyebrow at Liu Xiu: "Call me sister-in-law."
"..."
Liu Xiu was so angry his face turned red, but he just wouldn't call out, feeling a sense of humiliation as if he would rather die than submit!
Gu Yanchen patted the back of his head: "Are you mute? Hurry up and call her sister-in-law."
Liu Xiu's eyes widened, and he said with great grievance: "Sister-in-law."
Su Yue smiled, as if the flowers present all lost their color.
"Why are you hitting him? Look, you've scared Liu Xiu so much that cold sweat is breaking out on his forehead. Little Liu, if Gu Yanchen bullies you in the future, just come to sister-in-law, and sister-in-law will stand up for you."
Little Liu!
She couldn't speak; the moment she opened her mouth, it stirred up his anger. And "Little Liu," how could she even say that?
Liu Xiu looked as if he had eaten a fly; his face turned green and red, wanting to curse but unable to, forced to endure it.
Su Yue was happy. She pulled over the deskmate who was hiding behind him and introduced her: "Gu Yanchen, this is my best friend. If she runs into any trouble in the future, you must protect her well."
The deskmate was still a bit timid, stammering: "I... I only think about studying hard all day, how would... how would I need classmate Gu's protection? Su Yue, stop joking."
Su Yue thought of the Apocalypse and lowered her eyelids: "I know you don't cause trouble and are a good student, but I'm afraid trouble will find you. When that happens, just find him; he is very powerful!"
Gu Yanchen didn't speak, but nodded to indicate his agreement.
As long as Su Yue asked, he wouldn't even blink if she told him to go through fire and water.
"Thank... thank you, Big Brother." The deskmate slipped up and followed Liu Xiu in calling him Big Brother.
Strangely enough, after calling him Big Brother, the fear in her heart disappeared, and there was even a sense of warmth?
No wonder Liu Xiu called him Big Brother all day long; so this is what it feels like to be protected by someone.
The deskmate looked at Su Yue gratefully; she was truly lucky to have made such a good friend as Su Yue!
Liu Xiu glanced at Su Yue unhappily. Clearly, he could also protect her deskmate, so why ask the boss to protect her? What was her intention?
Because, in Su Yue's heart, he was just a weakling, unable to even protect himself, let alone others.
Su Yue invited them to go for a late-night snack, but both declined, because tomorrow was Monday.
