Chapter 154: Gu Zhenzhi, You Are Inhuman!

As the words fell, the air seemed to congeal.

The ambient flow of breath around them suddenly turned suffocating.

The man’s deep, unfathomable eyes gazed at her quietly, his line of sight sweeping past the bank card held between her slender, pale fingertips.

Lifting his gaze, he raised a single brow, looking at her with a half-smile and profound meaning, "Ruan Cha, what do you take me for?"

Ruan Cha’s breath hitched.

Her fingers holding the card grew even more unsteady, her gaze dodging away, yet she put up a stubborn front, "Anyway, you don’t like me. Let’s just pretend nothing ever happened, maintain our distance from now on, and try our best not to cross paths again—ah!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Ruan Cha was pulled forward by her arm by Gu Zhenzhi. In a dizzying blur, her entire body was pinned down onto the bed.

Ruan Cha’s eyes widened in shock. She abruptly lifted her head, crashing into Gu Zhenzhi’s intensely dark eyes. His lips were slightly flushed, his narrowed eyes brimming with danger. He parted his lips, his voice husky, "Since you’re about to give me money anyway, wouldn't it do this bank card a disservice if we didn't happen a little something?"

Ruan Cha instantly: "!!!"

...

Early morning.

The gauze-like mist outside the window was gradually dissipated by the warm sunlight.

Inside the room, the girl let out a sharp scream, then stumbled out of the man’s bedroom.

"Gu Zhenzhi, you're not human!!!!"

Her cheeks were flushed almost to the point of dripping blood.

After running out, Ruan Cha returned to her room, quickly changed her clothes, and then bolted all the way to school.

It wasn't until she reached the school gates that the lingering heat on her cheeks finally subsided.

-

Mecheng No. 2 High School.

Three layers deep, a large crowd of students had gathered around the campus bulletin board.

"‘I hope the wind that has blown past me can circle around a few times to embrace you, so that it feels like we’ve truly hugged’—ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, can anyone in this day and age still write such terribly cheesy love letters? Ha-ha!"

"‘You are like the free and unrestrained wind across the wilderness, carelessly blowing into my heart’—damn it, this line is so sickening too, it’s giving me goosebumps!"

"‘Every time I think of you, it feels like there’s a little deer pounding wildly in my chest, and I’m losing control of myself’—I seriously never expected that Shen Susu, a girl who looks so foolish and goofy, could write love letters this mushy and cringe-worthy!!!"

Ruan Cha, who had originally been passing by the school bulletin board and had no intention of approaching the crowd, paused in her tracks upon hearing the name of her cute little desk-mate. She turned her head to look at the bulletin board.

Five or six sheets of writing paper were neatly pasted there.

And each sheet of paper was filled to the brim with delicate handwriting that clearly belonged to Shen Susu...

Ruan Cha pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.

At the beginning of every single sheet of paper was written: "Letter number so-and-so to Nan Zhiche."

And the signature at the bottom was Shen Susu.

Seeing this, Ruan Cha furrowed her brows tightly. Listening to the mocking and jeering voices beside her ears, she strode forward and tore the letters down, sheet by sheet!

When she returned to her classroom, radiating hostility, she slammed the stack of love letters heavily onto the podium desk.

Her gaze was cold and fierce, "Who did this?"

Several girls in the class immediately understood what had happened the moment they saw the letter paper in Ruan Cha's hand. Everyone unanimously and secretly cast their glances toward Lin Yao.

Lin Yao, who was still pretending not to notice anything, felt the stares, rolled her eyes, stood up, and twisted her neck in an extremely arrogant manner, "It was me, so what? If you have the guts to send love letters, why don't you have the guts to let people read them?"
