As Gu Chenan was dressing Hoshino Kannon, he received a call from Su Qianmo.
Truth be told, he was somewhat delighted.
"Don't worry, Qianmo, everything is fine on my end," Gu Chenan said with a smile.
Upon hearing the name "Qianmo," Hoshino Kannon, who was standing nearby, furrowed her brows as if facing a formidable foe.
The next second, she spoke in a coquettish tone, "Young Master Gu, don't stop, I'm so cold~"
Oh my god!
Gu Chenan immediately covered the phone and turned his head toward her with a dumbfounded expression. "What are you doing? Don't talk!"
Hoshino Kannon pouted her lips.
Although Gu Chenan had covered the phone quite promptly, Su Qianmo on the other end of the line had still heard Hoshino Kannon's voice.
Her brows instantly furrowed, and her breathing paused.
Gu Chenan's voice came through the phone again, "Hey, Qianmo, I forgot to tell you, I need to go back for a bit..."
But before he could finish his sentence, Su Qianmo interrupted, asking, "Who was that speaking just now?"
"Just now? No one was speaking just now," Gu Chenan feigned ignorance.
"No one? I guess I must have misheard." Su Qianmo pursed her lips.
Although she said that, she was certain she had heard a woman's voice, and it was a familiar one.
However, she couldn't quite place whose voice it was at the moment.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Chenan intended to leave the room, but Hoshino Kannon suddenly grabbed his tie.
Gu Chenan frowned and moved the phone away from his mouth, whispering, "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Hoshino Kannon smiled slightly, then laid down on the bed, pulling Gu Chenan on top of her.
"Young Master Gu, are you afraid of Miss Su finding out?" she whispered in Gu Chenan's ear. "But we haven't done anything, have we?"
"Hey, Chenan, what's going on? Is something happening on your end?" Su Qianmo heard the commotion and asked.
Gu Chenan brought the phone back to his ear and said, "Nothing, nothing's happening."
As he spoke, Gu Chenan grabbed the hand that Hoshino Kannon was using to hold his tie and tried to pry it loose with force.
However, at that moment...
"Ah~ Gently, Young Master Gu, that hurts~"
Upon hearing those words, Gu Chenan exploded.
He hurriedly said to Su Qianmo on the other end, "Qianmo, I have something to take care of, I'll hang up first."
Beep... Beep... Beep...
Listening to the sound of the call being disconnected.
Su Qianmo was still in shock.
What was that sound just now?
The woman said for Chenan to be gentle, right? She said that, didn't she?
They... were doing that kind of thing, right?
Chenan was doing that kind of thing while talking to me?
This... this is NTR (cheating)?
Su Qianmo's beautiful eyes widened, and her whole body trembled.
After a long while, she stopped shaking, took a deep breath, and raised her head.
"No matter what, Chenan, you love me, don't you?"
...
"What the hell were you screaming for? Didn't you know I was on the phone with Qianmo?"
Gu Chenan glared at Hoshino Kannon, who wore a smug smile on her face.
Hoshino Kannon nodded, "I knew."
"You knew, and you still screamed like that, so sensually?"
"But I was really in pain!" Hoshino Kannon released her grip on Gu Chenan's tie and showed him her palms, revealing knife wounds.
Seeing this, Gu Chenan's anger suddenly dissipated. "Sorry, I didn't notice."
"Hmph." Hoshino Kannon smiled triumphantly. "It's okay, just kiss me, and it won't hurt anymore."
Gu Chenan stood up. "Enough, stop messing around. Hurry up and get dressed, then we'll go back to Donghai."
...
Two hours later.
Gu Chenan drove back to the Gu family estate in Donghai.
After a brief stay, Gu Chenan took Hoshino Kannon and drove to Donghai University.
Originally, Gu Chenan wanted to take his Lamborghini, but at Hoshino Kannon's insistence, he switched to the Bugatti Veyron that Su Qianmo had given him.
The appearance of the Bugatti Veyron at the gates of Donghai University immediately caused a commotion.
Passing teachers and students stared at the car, brimming with wealth, and discussed it animatedly.
"Whoa, you guys see that? A Bugatti Veyron!"
"Oh my god, does our school really have someone that rich?"
"I wonder which big shot from Donghai has come to our Donghai University."
Gu Chenan's personal car was a grey-gold Lamborghini, so no one recognized him as the driver of this car.
"Do you need me to go in with you?" Gu Chenan looked at the surrounding gazes and didn't want to get out of the car.
Although he had accomplished so much, in the eyes of ordinary people in Donghai, he was still just an idle rich playboy.
Whenever he appeared, people who saw him would first be surprised and praise him, but as soon as he walked away, they would start pointing fingers and gossiping.
It was so annoying.
Hearing Gu Chenan's question, Hoshino Kannon gave him a puzzled look. "That joke isn't funny at all. If Young Master Gu doesn't want to go, that's fine. I'm not forcing you, after all, I'm the one who asked for your help."
As she spoke, she lifted her dress to reveal the wounds on her legs and the white bandages, complaining, "Alas, although I'm injured, I'll still crawl into the school."
"If anyone asks, 'How did you get in here? Didn't anyone help you?' I'll just say that person..."
"Okay, okay... stop mocking me," Gu Chenan reached into the car's storage box and took out a pair of large, black sunglasses, saying helplessly, "If I don't go in with you, your school will immediately know how despicable I am."
"Hehehe." Hoshino Kannon smiled triumphantly.
Gu Chenan put on the sunglasses, opened the car door, and quickly went to the passenger side to help Hoshino Kannon out.
As soon as they appeared, the onlookers started discussing.
"Who is that girl? Is she from our school?"
"Judging by her age, she should be."
"That guy looks familiar, isn't he from Donghai too?"
"Oh my god, a student from our school actually found such a rich boyfriend, I'm so envious."
Amidst the envious gazes of the onlookers, Gu Chenan helped Hoshino Kannon into the school.
"You're wearing sunglasses because you're afraid of being seen with me and having Su tell Miss Su, aren't you?" Hoshino Kannon glared at Gu Chenan and pouted.
"Of course not," Gu Chenan shook his head.
"Tsk."
Hoshino Kannon didn't believe him at all. She raised an eyebrow and said, "If that's not the case, why don't you dare take off your sunglasses?"
Gu Chenan looked at the large crowd of people around and shook his head. "I don't want to attract too much attention. There are too many people."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Hoshino Kannon clicked her tongue, then pointed to a building in front of them. "We're at the counselor's office."
"Which floor?"
Hoshino Kannon held up three fingers. "I can't go upstairs, you'll have to carry me."
Gu Chenan let out a helpless sigh and picked up Hoshino Kannon in a princess carry, climbing the stairs.
Hoshino Kannon wrapped her arms around Gu Chenan's neck and rested her head against his chest.
"Oh my god, openly showing off their affection at school?"
"Who is that? Aren't they afraid of being scolded?"
"With that kind of display going to the teachers' building, they're definitely going to get scolded to death."
The people downstairs were shocked to see Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon's actions.
They were already expecting the two to be harshly scolded.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
