Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 574: Held in the Arms

Both individuals were high-tier Beastmen, and with just one glance, they could almost guess each other’s thoughts completely.

Lu Yu smiled as he ventured, "Mu Feng, I didn’t hear that you and Gu Yan are well-acquainted. Oh right, did you and your fiancée, Luo Xixi, reconcile?"

Mu Feng’s expression shifted slightly.

Was Lu Yu reminding him that he had a fiancée, so he shouldn’t entertain thoughts about Gu Yan?

At this moment, several people came out of an office, among them were four Insectoids who were here as exchange students.

The leading butterfly Insectoid, with its colorful wings—even though folded—unmistakably attracted the attention of the passers-by.

Following the gazes, he spotted the beautiful girl who was the center of attention and exclaimed with a surprise, "Isn’t that the Gu Family’s little princess?"

Another Insectoid chimed in, "Indeed, she’s beautiful! And for some reason, I really want to get closer to her."

The butterfly Insectoid narrowed his eyes as his compound eyes began to emerge slowly, expressing his interest, "I’ve heard that she is a Plantman."

Over the years, it was discovered that Insectoids were inclined to approach certain Plantmen, as the latter were a diverse group, with some even having strong offensive capabilities, making them natural enemies of Insectoids.

The excited butterfly Insectoid proclaimed, "She must belong to a species that we Insectoids would like to approach!"

Just as he finished speaking, a silver-haired young man with glasses behind them, stepped forward and went straight out.

Straight towards Gu Yan.

A few Insectoids stood agape!

They were indeed very interested in the Gu Family’s little princess, but only dared to think about it in their hearts—at least for now.

The little princess didn’t know them, and as representatives of the Insectoids, they definitely couldn’t be impolite or too presumptuous.

The butterfly Insectoid suddenly realized, damn, would this white-haired guy leave a bad impression on the people from Landis Star, or worse, offend the Gu Family’s little princess?

If that were the case, they would all be in trouble!

But in that instant, the silver-haired young man had already reached Gu Yan.

The youth had silver short hair, wore glasses, and had on a white shirt. There were no obvious Insectoid traits on him, though it was also possible that he had them concealed.

Nowadays, higher-level Insectoids can manage this, and as for the butterfly Insectoid, he believes his wings are very attractive and deliberately kept them unfurled.

However, in just a moment, the silver-haired young man had already approached Gu Yan.

All the other students from the military academy, including Lu Yu and Mu Feng, frowned and watched.

Yet Gu Yan, facing the somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar face in front of her, saw a white Little Mushroom in his hand, and her eyes lit up immediately!

The name Brother Little Mushroom almost slipped from her lips!

The silver-haired youth spoke up, "You must be student Gu Yan. My name is Bai Li, and I would like to take a tour of Empire University. Could you be my guide?"

The butterfly Insectoid heard this and tensed up instantly: damn, this kid’s got guts!

Meanwhile, the students of the military academy around them were equally stunned: damn, this kid’s got some nerve!

While everyone, even Vivian standing next to Gu Yan, assumed Gu Yan would definitely refuse, they heard her voice tinged with a smile.

"Sure."

Everyone: ...

It wasn’t until the trio had walked far away that those left behind looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Meanwhile, Vivian was originally walking with Gu Yan and this student Bai Li when her communicator suddenly rang.

After listening to the message, her expression instantly changed.

Gu Yan was curious, "Vivian, what’s wrong, what happened?"

"It’s just, Xiaoyan, something came up at home and I need to ask the teacher for leave to step out for a bit. Here with you..." She felt a bit uneasy leaving her roommate alone with an Insectoid they’d just met.

Although she was a bit scared herself—she’d heard that Insectoids were very fierce.

But Xiaoyan was her roommate, and since she arrived at Empire University, her very first friend!

Gu Yan noticed Vivian’s concern and hastily said, "I’m fine here, I’ve met Bai Li before. Vivian, is it something serious? Do you need my help?"

Knowing they had met before eased Vivian’s worry a bit, "No need to help, but I have to go home for a while."

"Then go ahead, I’ll ask the teacher for leave on your behalf this afternoon."

"Alright."

Vivian quickly walked away, leaving only Gu Yan and Bai Li behind... but that wasn’t actually the case.

Many people were stealthily following them.

Gu Yan whispered, "Brother Little Mushroom, let’s walk to that corner over there. It’s a blind spot, and then I’ll use my Spatial Superpower to take us to my dorm so we can talk."

Bai Li pursed his lips, "Okay."

So, when the others following them saw them reach the corner, they didn’t dare to immediately follow. After waiting a few minutes and then catching up, they realized something.

They had lost them?

The butterfly Insectoid was quite anxious, worrying that the kid might cause trouble, so he quickly led the others away.

They planned to return to the dormitory and contact Bai Li to see what he was up to!

No matter who else they offended, they couldn’t afford to offend Gu Yan!

Meanwhile, other students from the Military Academy looked at one another in confusion.

"Why would Gu Yan walk off with that bug?"

"I think that guy is quite ordinary-looking. Among their Insectoids, he’s not considered attractive, nor does he seem powerful."

"I’m worried that this guy might harm our junior, Gu Yan."

A lot of boys probably had a little crush on Gu Yan—forbidden fruit always seems the sweetest, after all. Gu Yan was beautiful, and her parents and brothers were such significant figures.

But everyone was only at the stage of thinking about it in their hearts. Who would dare to act?

Not to mention, Gu Yu was in the campus, watching like a tiger ready to pounce.

"Right! Gu Yu! Does anyone here know Gu Yu? We could find him and tell him his sister was taken away by an Insectoid!"

"I know, I know, he’s in the Medical School!"

A delicate flower that none dared to pluck, how could they allow an insect to sweep her away so easily!

A group of people hurried off to the Medical School to find Gu Yu, while Gu Yan and Bai Li had already returned to Gu Yan’s dorm room.

Gu Yan: "Brother Little Mushroom, how did you end up like this? I didn’t even recognize you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly embraced by Bai Li!

Gu Yan was instantly stunned. Actually, they’d hugged countless times since they were little; she even used to sleep clinging to him when they were younger.

But the point was, he didn’t look like the familiar face she’d known her whole life.

It was as if a stranger was holding her in his arms!
