In the spacious room, Gu Chenan took off his suit, loosened his tie around the collar of his white shirt, and sat on the edge of the bed, deep in thought.
"Damn, who the hell is Tang Yunjin?"
"She said she wanted to thank me. What the hell is she thanking me for?"
"She actually said she wanted to thank me for stopping Lin Yu from winning the championship today, so she wants to teach me the martial arts passed down in her family?"
"Are you f*cking kidding me? Be honest, aren't you just trying to get close to me so you can get revenge for Lin Yu?"
"Tsk~ That can't be right either. Tang Yunjin can't use any martial arts at all right now, she's completely harmless."
"So... what the hell is going on here?"
"In the original story, Tang Yunjin really wanted Lin Yu to win the championship!"
Gu Chenan couldn't figure it out. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
Damn it, my head is about to explode!
Forget it, I won't think about this anymore!
No matter what schemes or tricks she has, I'll just ignore her!
Gu Chenan threw down his phone and flopped down on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.
After experiencing so many crazy things, Gu Chenan's state of mind had matured quite a bit.
It would be an overstatement to say his face wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but it would be fitting to say his heart wouldn't be startled even if a fierce tiger pounced at him from behind.
Now even if a dozen burly men charged into Gu Chenan's room, he would still think they had come to fawn over him.
After all, the aloof beauty Su Qianmo had turned into a shy doe, and the unrestrained female general Liu Mingrui had become a delicate sweet girl. What else would be impossible?
Ding dong~
Just then, his phone rang again.
Gu Chenan picked up his phone and looked - it was another message from Tang Yunjin.
"Mr. Gu, I was previously tricked by Lin Yu so I passed down my family's martial arts to him."
"Although he is now severely injured, with the help of those martial arts his strength will surely improve in the future. So Mr. Gu, please accept my martial arts!"
Like hell!
It must be a plot to sow discord, absolutely!
Don't think I don't know you have a deep bond between master and disciple. You won't succeed in making me believe you with such a superficial tactic.
I've read the plot!
Gu Chenan directly turned off his phone screen and lay down, using his arm as a pillow.
Ridiculous!
Do you really think I'm just some prodigal son?
Let me tell you, I only pretended to be unlearned, ignorant and arrogant on the outside, but actually I'm very wise!
A little girl not studying properly and even looking up battle strategies? How laughable!
His phone kept ringing, but Gu Chenan had no intention of even looking at it.
He took a shower, changed into dark pajamas, and crawled under the covers.
Soon, faint snores drifted out.
...
2 a.m.
Everything was silent all around, without a hint of sound from the Gu family manor except for the chirping of unknown insects outside.
But just then, the light in the room at the end of the first floor corridor suddenly turned on.
Then, Bai Yutian, who had a face mask on and was wearing bunny hair clips, carefully poked her head out of her room.
She looked left and right furtively, and seeing no one, she tiptoed out of her room.
In her hands she held the white patterned stockings she had just taken off, which still held some warmth. She made her way upstairs without making a sound, eventually stopping outside Gu Chenan's room.
She lingered there for a long time before taking a deep breath and putting her hand on the doorknob, then pressed her ear against the door to listen for a while.
Then...
Click, she gently opened the door.
Gu Chenan inside was fast asleep, completely unaware of Bai Yutian's arrival.
Bai Yutian also gently stepped forward, coming to Gu Chenan's bedside.
In the bright moonlight, she saw Gu Chenan sprawled out sleeping without any elegance.
Although it was somewhat indecent, Gu Chenan's originally fair complexion and chiseled features appeared even more handsome under the moonlight.
It was almost no different from a aristocratic vampire sleeping deep within an ancient castle.
Uh... except for his sloppy sleeping posture.
Bai Yutian's heart was beating rapidly. She carefully took out the stockings, then gently placed them next to Gu Chenan's pillow.
Then she leaned over, seeming to want to sneak a kiss from Gu Chenan.
But just then, Gu Chenan suddenly flipped over.
Bai Yutian was badly startled, standing still and not daring to make a sound.
With this flip, Gu Chenan happened to bury his head right into the white patterned stockings, and soon resumed his soft snores.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian heaved a sigh of relief. She gently exhaled and tiptoed back out of Gu Chenan's room.
...
The next morning.
Sunshine spilled over the window sill into Gu Chenan's room.
Gu Chenan opened his eyes slightly.
"Ha~" He sat up and stretched lazily.
But just then, he suddenly felt there was something soft and smooth extra in his hand.
He glanced over and instantly -
"Holy sh*t! What's this?!"
Gu Chenan was badly shocked and directly threw the item to the side.
It turned out to be a pair of white patterned stockings, still wet with saliva.
Staring at this pair of white patterned stockings, Gu Chenan froze. His mind went blank.
[Stockings?]
[White?]
[With patterns?]
[This looks exactly like what Bai Yutian was wearing last night!]
[Damn, how did this thing get in my room?]
[Could it be that I sleepwalked and stole it last night?]
[Oh no, if Bai Yutian finds out, wouldn't that just confirm I'm some perverted creep?]
Gu Chenan's face turned red and sweat appeared all over his back.
He swallowed and gazed at the white patterned stockings in his hand.
Then, unable to resist his curiosity, he raised them to his nose and sniffed.
He had to admit, they really did smell nice!
[What the hell am I doing?!]
Gu Chenan quickly came to his senses and hurriedly tossed aside the stockings.
He crossed his arms, looking extremely worried.
[Did I really steal them while sleepwalking last night? But I've never sleepwalked before!]
[If not, then how did they get here?]
[Could Bai Yutian have brought them here herself? Impossible! She's not that kind of girl!]
[Even if her personality changed to be like Su Qianmo and the others, she wouldn't know I was thinking of stealing these last night!]
[Forget it, I won't think about this anymore. No matter how they got here, I'll just pretend I don't know anything!]
Gu Chenan nodded to himself affirmatively.
Dang dang dang~
Just then, there was a knock on his door.
Gu Chenan hurriedly shoved the mysteriously appeared stockings under his pillow and said, "Come in."
The door opened and it was Mabing.
He said, "Young Master Gu, there is a young lady at the manor gates who wants to see you."
Gu Chenan frowned puzzledly: "Did she say what her name was?"
"Yes," Mabing replied. "She said her name is Tang Yunjin."
Hearing this, Gu Chenan's eyes instantly widened.
Tang Yunjin?
What exactly is she trying to do? I didn't reply to her messages last night so she directly came to blockade my house?
What now, is she going to try another one of the thirty-six stratagems today?
No matter what plot or scheme you use, I'll counter it with constancy.
"I won't see her!" Gu Chenan said indifferently.
"Yes Young Master, I'll send her away immediately."

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!
