Chapter 175: I've missed you so much!

Even now, nearly a decade later, having already reached the pinnacle of the computer science field, he was still only twenty-five years old.

An aloof professor, handsome and immensely wealthy.

Countless girls were crazy about him.

...

Upon hearing the teacher mention the programming competition, Shen Susu blinked her big, curious eyes at Ruan Cha and said sweetly, "Cha Cha, I remember you're supposedly very good at programming, right? The national cybersecurity bureau even made a special public statement to clear your name."

"I suppose so."

Ruan Cha didn't have such a deep interest in programming anymore, and because of that past incident, she still harbored deep misgivings and wanted nothing to do with it.

Unable to resist, she reached out and pinched Shen Susu's cheek. "I have no interest in programming. But what about that Nan Zhiche? Has he apologized to you yet?"

At the mention of Nan Zhiche, Shen Susu sighed. "He apologized. You weren't here last time—he apologized during his speech under the national flag platform on Monday, and everyone was shocked."

"That's more like it, Susu. Keep your distance from him in the future. He's blind as a bat to be able to fall for someone like Lin Yao, which just shows he's no good himself." Seeing Shen Susu's little face fall, Ruan Cha softened her tone. "Susu, all men are dogs; we girls must be self-reliant and independent. If a man's words can be counted on, sows could climb trees. So don't..."

Just as she was speaking, Ruan Cha's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the screen and saw that it was none other than Gu Zhenzhi. Unable to wait a second longer, she picked it up and answered, her voice dripping with sickly sweet affection, "Zhenzhi-gege, I miss you so much!"

Hearing the girl's sweet and soft voice on the other end, Gu Zhenzhi felt a softening in his heart as a low chuckle vibrated from his throat. "Then get ready properly; we have a date tonight."

Ruan Cha's eyes lit up instantly like small, electrified lightbulbs, brilliant and glowing. She was so excited she almost jumped out of her seat. "Really? Really?!"

"Mm."

"Then you have to remember to come to the school to pick me up!"

Blissfully, Ruan Cha hung up the phone. The moment she turned her head, intending to resume her conversation with Shen Susu, she crashed straight into the girl's deeply aggrieved gaze.

Shen Susu pouted, her expression a mix of disdain and suppressed resentment. "Cha Cha, you literally just said men cannot be trusted."

Ruan Cha: "..."

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh?

"This is different! Zhenzhi-gege is different from other men!"

"Could it be that your Zhenzhi-gege has an extra leg?"

Just as Ruan Cha finished speaking, Fu Jin, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation the whole time, finally couldn't help but chime in.

Hearing that voice, Ruan Cha snapped her head around sharply. The sweet and warm expression she had worn while talking about Gu Zhenzhi instantly turned frigid and glacial. "What business is it of yours?!"

Fu Jin: "..."

It was his own fault for running his mouth.

Speaking of Gu Zhenzhi, a thought suddenly popped into Ruan Cha's mind.

She curled her finger at Shen Susu.

As the little girl leaned her ear closer, Ruan Cha lowered her voice and asked, "Susu, after you start dating, what do you have to do to make your boyfriend lock you up?"

This question terrified Shen Susu, making her little face turn pale. "C-Cha Cha, what are you... Which relationships involve getting locked up by your boyfriend?"

Ruan Cha furrowed her brows in thought.

The next plot development in the book was Gu Zhenzhi locking Ruan Cha away.

However, that only happened because the original owner liked Gu Jiayan. But she didn't like Gu Jiayan at all, so what should she do?

"Cha Cha, are you serious?" Seeing that Ruan Cha's expression didn't look like she was joking in the least, Shen Susu's little heart trembled. "I don't know, but in the romance novels I read, the female lead usually angers the male lead first and then gets locked up. Won't you get hurt if you do something like that..."
