Everywhere Su Xiyan looked, there were only her and Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo did not hide anything and directly got to the point with Su Xiyan:
"I won't go to dinner anymore, you can keep it to eat with your demon-hunting colleagues!"
"Also, I hope you can keep your distance from me in the future."
"Don't misunderstand your own identity. I'm just a little vampire while you're a promising young demon hunter in Su City. There's no need to affect your future over an insignificant little vampire like me."
After saying that, Chen Shuo didn't even glance at Su Xiyan again as he walked past her without any reluctance.
Su Xiyan chased after him, "I know you're still upset about what happened on your birthday, but things weren't as they seemed."
"I... How do I explain this to you?"
"I can't fully explain things in just a few words. Why don't we find a place to sit down and have a good long talk? I'll tell you everything from start to finish. I believe that after hearing my full explanation, you'll be able to resolve this misunderstanding between us."
Su Xiyan felt she was a little incoherent. She didn't know if Chen Shuo would even listen.
Chen Shuo stopped in his tracks and paused for two seconds before turning around to look at Su Xiyan with deep eyes, enunciating each word: "I don't even trust the punctuation in what you're saying now."
"Alright, esteemed demon-hunting Miss Su, the campus beauty of Nanli University. You don't need to keep wasting your time on me."
"Also, I'm very busy. I hope you won't disturb me too much in the future."
Su Xiyan pouted. She had never felt so wronged before.
Even with such a sharp tongue, she didn't know what to say in front of Chen Shuo.
She took a few deep breaths of the slightly cool air to calm herself down.
Since Chen Shuo was still angry, knowing his character of being harsh on the outside but soft on the inside, she would have to come at this softly!
No man could withstand a girl's coquettish pleas, let alone Su Xiyan with her divine looks and devilish figure.
"Shuo Shuo~~" Su Xiyan chased after him in her high heels.
Chen Shuo: "..."
Su Xiyan grabbed Chen Shuo's arm with an pitiful look in her eyes, "Really, just give me a few minutes to defend myself... I mean explain! Please let me explain everything clearly, okay?"
Chen Shuo wanted to shake Su Xiyan off but her grip was like iron claws, clutching his arm tightly so he couldn't move.
At first Chen Shuo wanted to jerk his arm free with more force but was afraid of knocking Su Xiyan over, so he could only let her clutch his arm!
On Su Xiyan's cold face was a smug smile of victory. Because she saw that Chen Shuo's ears were blushing to the point of being semi-transparent.
Whenever Chen Shuo was shy, his face and ears would turn red easily.
This was a good sign! It meant Chen Shuo still had feelings for her! Once this misunderstanding was resolved, their relationship would definitely progress by leaps and bounds!
Chen Shuo suddenly remembered a line from a TV series: "Wuji, remember this. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she deceives."
Only after meeting Su Xiyan did Chen Shuo truly understand the meaning behind those words.
There was no way he would be deceived by the same woman twice!
In the span of those few seconds, countless thoughts and reactions flashed through Chen Shuo's mind as he considered countless ways to respond.
But it seemed...nothing would work!
Luckily at that moment, the door leading to the basketball courts made the sound of its knob turning.
It looked like someone was coming from the courts.
Chen Shuo saw it as a life-saving straw and reminded Su Xiyan, "Senior Su, please pay attention to propriety."
Unexpectedly, Su Xiyan's grip grew even tighter!
Her arms were like snakes coiling around Chen Shuo's arm as she hugged it tightly to her chest.
Chen Shuo only felt a strange sensation transmit from his arm. Looking down, he felt hot blood spread from his chest cavity, instantly rushing to his head.
His whole face grew hot as he blushed all the way down his neck.
As Su Xiyan clung to Chen Shuo's arm, she didn't even notice that his whole upper arm was deeply sunk between two peaks.
Chen Shuo's arm was like stone as he didn't dare move it at all. His skin there was quite sensitive. All he felt was two soft and smooth mounds rubbing against his arm.
So bouncy~~ So soft~~ So comfortable~~
And a subtle, intoxicating fragrance.
Su Xiyan only wanted to keep Chen Shuo there so she could have a chance to explain the misunderstanding clearly.
She was utterly oblivious to how intimate and improper their contact was!
The door to the basketball court opened and a third-year senior dressed in basketball attire came out spinning a ball on one finger.
When he saw the scene before him, he froze in place with surprise written all over his face.
The ball he had been spinning dropped to the floor with a rhythmic bouncing noise that echoed in the silent hallway.
A few seconds later, the senior finally reacted.
"You guys...keep going. I didn't see anything! Really!"
Chen Shuo regained his senses and quickly pulled his arm out from between the soft mounds.
He coughed twice to cover his awkwardness then walked briskly towards the basketball court.
A smug smile spread across Su Xiyan's face.
Because she saw how Chen Shuo's ears were bright red and semi-transparent.
Whenever Chen Shuo was shy, his face and ears would redden easily.
This was a good sign! It meant Chen Shuo still had feelings for her! Once this misunderstanding was resolved, their relationship would make great strides forward!
When Chen Shuo returned to the court, he felt somewhat parched.
He found his water bottle at courtside and gulped down several mouthfuls of water.
From behind came Su Xiyan's voice, "Thirsty? I brought you milk tea, 30% sugar, normal ice."
Chen Shuo wiped the corners of his mouth after drinking and didn't even glance at Su Xiyan. He made his voice as cold as possible: "Don't want it."
Just then the third-year senior walked out from the locker room direction. Chen Shuo conveniently pointed at the two milk tea cups on the bench, "Senior Tan, want some milk tea?"
Senior Tan had just finished a grueling workout and was quite thirsty! He eagerly went to grab the milk tea but before his hand even touched the cup, he was forced back by a pair of ice-cold eyes that made one shiver.
Su Xiyan stood to the side with a faint smile on her face. But her autumn water eyes radiated an exceptionally cold and murderous aura!
Such powerful imposing manner and thick killing intent!
Cold sweat streamed down Senior Tan's forehead. He thought: better not drink that milk tea after all. If he did drink it, he probably wouldn't make it out of the basketball court alive.
Chen Shuo grabbed his gym bag and water bottle then left the court.
Su Xiyan followed right after him.
The group of basketball club members were left looking at each other in dismay.
Their strong survival instincts told them that if they wanted peaceful days ahead, they had best not provoke Chen Shuo or Senior Su recently!

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos.
