Chapter 189: Chapter 189 – Flirting
Gu Yueyan felt as if she had fallen into a dream she would never wake up from.
It was a long, arduous journey. In the dream, Gu Yueyan was walking in the dark, amidst the harsh wind and rain. With each grueling step, she was one step closer to the light which was far, far away.
That glimmer of light was not bright, but in her trance, it was sufficient. At that point in time, that light was enough to urge her on in her journey through the wind and rain.
When she was halfway along her journey, the weather suddenly improved. The warm sunshine and the cooling breeze made Gu Yueyan feel extremely comfortable. Her footsteps became lighter and she picked up the pace.
When she arrived at her destination and came into contact with the long-awaited glimmer of light, she was jolted out of the dream.
It was as if an ice cube was continuously melting in her mind, turning into a tide of knowledge that seeped into the depths of consciousness. Gu Yueyan felt as if she was acquiring knowledge of an ancient instinct—an indescribable, subconscious ability similar to how she could control her legs to walk, her fingers to hold, and her eyes to see.
“Mmm…”
Gu Yueyan sighed in satisfaction. She rubbed her face against the pillow, but she felt as if her nose had hit something.
She opened her eyes and saw, right in front of her, a smooth and beautiful face.
“She used SK-II Fairy Water before going to bed? How is her skin condition still so good while she is sleeping?”
——That was Gu Yueyan’s first reaction the moment she awoke.
The next moment, she shivered slightly as she felt a chill sweep across her body, under the blanket. She felt herself with her hands.
Outerwear, innerwear, skirt, underwear…
All of those articles of clothing which should have been on Gu Yueyan were nowhere to be found.
She was put on the bed like a pig which had been stripped!
Furthermore, she was hugged tightly by the beautiful woman with very good skin who was right in front of her!
Gu Yueyan took a deep breath and recalled what happened the previous night: she could not contact Dong Chengling, and Ren Suo did not appear in the dining hall after she finished her examination and her dinner, so she went to his house to look for Teacher Dong, and then…
She saw the family of cockroaches who wished her well while singing: ‘Wishing you a long life and continuous prosperity every year, congratulations, congratulations ~’.
Afterwhich, she knocked her head and fell unconscious. She had no recollection of everything that happened after that. When she fainted, only Ren Suo, an adult male, was around.
(Could the thick-browed Ren Suo possibly have…!) At that thought, Gu Yueyan’s heart fell and a chill ran down her spine. She recalled the gaze when Ren Suo stared at her wet clothes when she was standing at the door.
Would Ren Suo still be a scaredy-cat when he saw a beautiful female high school student at his mercy? Thinking about how Ren Suo asked to be in bed with Teacher Dong in such a straightforward manner, a wave of anger rushed into her heart. Hmph, men!
However, another question popped up in Gu Yueyan’s mind: Who was this woman hugging her naked self?
At that juncture, Gu Yueyan was fully awake, and she thought of another possibility: Perhaps Ren Suo had called someone to take care of me, and it was this woman who helped me to take off my drenched clothes… The only question that remains is, why was the woman hugging me in her sleep?
At that point, Gu Yueyan was relieved, and ‘examined’ the woman in front of her from head to toe.
When she saw the shirt that the woman was wearing, however, her heart fell once again—the white, round-necked t-shirt with a lightning pattern that the woman was wearing… belonged to Ren Suo!
It was already rare to see girls wearing guys’ shirts, and the one she was wearing was just like Ren Suo’s. What are the odds?
In that instant, Gu Yueyan recalled how Lin Xianyu’s hands would be dripping with blood everyday when she was Awakening, how Dong Chengling only managed to persevere through her Awakening with Ren Suo’s help, and the case studies of various Awakenings described in the lectures…
When one was Awakening, many unusual situations could occur, such as affecting other people if one was in close contact with others during the process.
Taking all of that information into consideration, Gu Yueyan finally came to a conclusion—
When she was Awakening the previous night, she had also given Ren Suo a full, complete treatment, which transformed him from a savage beast into a beautiful girl!
‘Is this what is meant by repaying evil with kindness…?’ Gu Yueyan thought. She was filled with sorrow as she muttered to herself, “I was defiled by this guy, and yet I still turned this guy into a beautiful, cute, and lovely girl. How should I get my revenge on her…”
She looked down and saw the deep valley and fullness filling the clothes of the woman in front of her. Her heart sank even more as she thought: Could it be that after Ren Suo turned into a girl, his figure even became much better than hers, and it was so amazingly hot?!
“You’re awake?”
The arms around Gu Yueyan suddenly exerted force and pulled her into the embrace of the woman in front of her. Gu Yueyan looked up, and the woman touched her nose with hers.
Even though they were both women, such an intimate action still made Gu Yueyan flush, as if she was having a fever.
“Did you sleep well?” the woman asked as she gently swiped the dangling strands of Gu Yueyan’s hair to the back.
The woman said, “Your clothes have been washed and dried. They are on the chair… Nonetheless, it is beneficial for girls to sleep naked. Moreover, you’re still young and developing.”
Based on those few actions alone, Gu Yueyan instantly threw her previous thoughts into the bin. With the woman’s titillating personality, it was certainly impossible that she was actually the idiot Ren Suo!
“Let’s get out of bed… I’ll help you get dressed,” Qiao Muyi said.
——————
In the living room, Ren Suo, who was looking at his mobile phone, noticed that Qiao Muyi and Gu Yueyan came out of the room, dressed in their own clothes. After a night, their clothes had long been washed and dried.
Ren Suo noticed that Gu Yueyan, who was behind Qiao Muyi, appeared to be slightly shy. She stood some distance behind Qiao Muyi and quickly sat down on the couch beside Ren Suo the moment they entered the living room. She deliberately asked, “What are you looking at?”
Ren Suo felt that Gu Yueyan was acting slightly strange but did not think too much about it. He replied, “You will find out when you look at QQ on your mobile phone.”
Both Gu Yueyan and Qiao Muyi turned on their mobile phones, and as soon as they did so, the same message appeared: [The reason behind the temporary disappearance of chat groups → “Intrusion”.]
Gu Yueyan was quite surprised. She quizzed, “Is this… a new video released by Naisser Ren? The disappearance of the chat groups yesterday was actually also due to an extraordinary event?”
Ren Suo stole a glance at the television cabinet which was closed and said, “It’s not just the chat groups. Other incidents of intrusion were also shown in the video ‘Intrusion’; they also took place on ‘Jiayuan.com’, in ‘No Turning Back’ and in ‘League of Legends’.”
“It’s just that the disappearance of the chat groups had the widest reach and was thus the most well-known.”
The ultimate battle between firearms and martial arts;
The duel between tanks and ghost souls;
The cross between League of Legends and DotA;
The chaos caused by game characters in chatting software;
The hunt of “Keyboard Man”!
Both Gu Yueyan and Qiao Muyi had their eyes glued to the screens as they watched the short ten-minute video showcasing the various battles. The battles between different juxtaposed systems of power were absolutely thrilling!
Furthermore, in the video, regardless of whether it was a 3D or 2D game, the perspective was that of Ren Suo when he was playing them: the setting was set in a complete, 3D space of data. Although the battle between Irina and the corrupt twin was restricted due to the rigid settings of the game, it was portrayed as an agile yet intense fight!
Gu Yueyan sighed and said, “So, the Keyboard Man really exists… I thought that it was just a prank.”
Qiao Muyi exhaled softly and remarked, “Such a thing actually happened… Alright, I’ll head back first, the Countermeasure Division must be busy because of this.”
Ren Suo asked, “Aren’t you going to have a meal first before leaving?”
Qiao Muyi shook her head and replied, “That’s not necessary. Moreover, aren’t you going to eat with Xiaoyan later? I shall not join you guys then.”
Xiaoyan?
Ren Suo pulled the corners of his lips and questioned, “Nonetheless, aren’t you here to look for Dong Chengling? Are you not going to see her first before leaving?”
Qiao Muyi replied, “Since she is back, it means that she has chosen Lianjiang. I will visit her officially another day… See you.”
With that, she walked off swiftly and decisively. However, just before she left, she shouted, “Xiaoyan ~”
“Yes!” replied Gu Yueyan, who was beside Ren Suo, as she sat herself upright.
Qiao Muyi said, “Don’t tell anyone about me being here last night, especially your Teacher Dong… Do you understand?”
“I understand!” Gu Yueyan replied.
“Alright then, see you. You may contact me if you need anything,” Qiao Muyi said.
After Qiao Muyi left, Gu Yueyan’s tensed body finally relaxed, and she naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
When she turned her head around, she saw the (╯□╰) expression on Ren Suo’s face.
“What are you looking at!” Gu Yueyan said fiercely. She continued, “I have not settled the score with you regarding last night!”
Ren Suo replied, “I have already eradicated the entire family of cockroaches from their eldest ancestor to their last descendent. What more do you want?”
He waved his hands in the air and continued, “Also, since Qiao Muyi has already made it clear to you what happened last night, I don’t think I need to waste my breath anymore.”
Gu Yueyan shot a dead stare at Ren Suo. She said, “Yes, I know that Teacher Dong is back! Although I won’t tell her about Sister Qiao being at your house last night, I am not letting you anywhere close Teacher Dong, knowing that you have a relationship with another girl!”
“Do as you wish,” Ren Suo said with a shrug. He added, “Get ready to go out for a meal.”
“A meal? Oh, why did Sister Qiao say that you are going to eat with me? Are you trying to bribe me?” Gu Yueyan questioned.
She immediately jumped backward, away from Ren Suo, and exclaimed, “Go away, I would rather eat instant noodles in my dorm room than eat with you! Gross!”
Ren Suo glanced at her with a slight disdain in his eyes.
Ten minutes later, in the teacher’s dormitory room belonging to Dong Chengling, Gu Yueyan was seated next to Ren Suo. She picked up her rice bowl with tears brimming in her eyes.
She said, “I can’t believe that I actually have the chance to eat the food made personally by Teacher Dong… Oh dear Lord, you really did not treat me badly!”
