Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 616: Are You Going to Attend the Mixer?
Molly didn’t expect to get blamed for something that was completely not her fault.
Just like Anji, he also didn’t know that the anonymous letter he had sent was utterly useless.
It didn’t affect Gu Yan and Bai Li at all.
But Gu Chen’s situation was getting more and more serious, which made Su Wan start to worry, because even the exclusive medicine was no longer effective for Gu Chen.
However, Gu Chen’s spiritual power and willpower were strong, and he had been staying home these past few days, with only some rumors circulating from the council, so there weren’t any major issues.
What was serious was that an incident had occurred in Central City where a beastman in a Manic-Depressive Period had attacked someone.
Fortunately, a team from the Security Bureau happened to be passing by at that time, otherwise, the outcome could have been much worse. Although the girl was saved, the incident fermented on the Star Network.
Rumors spread that beastmen, when uncontrollable during their Manic-Depressive Period, would go crazy and attack people.
The citizens began to panic.
Gu Qingyu had already started working on a new exclusive medicine, as it was discovered that the original one might not be able to suppress the Manic-Depressive Period of single beastmen anymore.
Yes, single beastmen’s Manic-Depressive Periods, because according to research findings, beastmen with partners wouldn’t have the possibility of losing control during their period.
For a while, the marriage rate on Landis Star skyrocketed.
Even within Empire University, there was a pervasive romantic atmosphere with pink bubbles everywhere. Pairs of lovers could be spotted in restaurants, in the library, and beside the lake under the trees from time to time.
Even more extreme, matchmaking events began to appear.
A senior passionately persuaded Gu Yan and Weiwei, mainly Gu Yan, "It’s called a matchmaking event, but it’s really just a chance for everyone to get to know each other better. Just think of it as making a new friend. As for any development thereafter, that will come later and isn’t forced."
"But..."
"What, do the two of you already have boyfriends?" The senior was anxious as she had been tasked with ensuring that Gu Yan attended the matchmaking event.
It’s not that someone had their eye on Gu Yan, but rather, she was a selling point! If Gu Yan went, surely more people would be willing to attend!
Gu Yan really didn’t want to participate in any matchmaking event, and neither did Weiwei. The two of them politely declined, and as a result, the senior almost cried.
"Junior, please, I’m begging you on behalf of your senior, okay? This is a task assigned to me by the president. If it’s not completed, I might get my credits deducted."
This senior was named Jian Tong. Previously, when Gu Yan was looking for materials, Jian Tong had helped her several times. Seeing her pitiful look, Gu Yan hesitated.
Jian Tong sensed their hesitation and pressed on, "You just need to show up, dance the first dance, and then if you find it boring, you can leave. If you don’t want to dance with other boys, the two of you can dance together. Plus, there will be a lot of delicious food at the banquet, with the catering provided by the Su Family’s restaurant. You can consider it a buffet dinner; please, I’m begging you."
Now that the senior had put it that way, Gu Yan and Weiwei felt too embarrassed to refuse.
And indeed, as the senior had said, they could dance together for a while, have some food, and leave early if they found it dull.
They would just return the favor to their senior.
Seeing that they agreed, Jian Tong breathed a sigh of relief, then excitedly said, "For the party, you don’t have to wear a uniform; you can wear dresses. All right, that’s all for now, I have to go get busy."
After Jian Tong left, Gu Yan turned to Weiwei and asked, "Are you going to wear a formal dress?"
Weiwei shook her head, "I don’t want to get a boyfriend, just going to take a look at the scene. Plus, I heard that the buffet dinner is catered by the Su Family’s restaurant, it’s bound to be delicious."
Gu Yan chuckled, "I never noticed how much you enjoyed eating at our Su Family restaurant. Since that’s the case, how about I help you chase after my little brother? He’s an excellent cook, hmm, the direct disciple of my mother."
Vivian immediately shook her head upon hearing this, "Forget it, having known each other for so long, don’t I know that? What your little brother is most passionate about is dissection."
Lately, Gu Yu had been following Lan Yu, engrossed in lab studies, seemingly oblivious to the outside world.
Whenever Gu Yan thought about his little brother’s obsession with medicine and love for dissection, he couldn’t help but sigh.
With a brother like that, he’d probably be single for ten thousand years.
Neither of them planned to meet any boys at the social gathering, so they didn’t bother dressing up and simply wore the standard uniform issued by Empire University. When the time came, they went together to the location of the social gathering, which was the grand hall of Empire University.
All the tables and chairs were cleared away, leaving a vast venue with exquisite and attractive decorations overhead and the sound of long, melodious tunes in the air.
There was also a buffet area where some people had already started getting food... It seemed that some came really just for the food.
The buffet from Su Family restaurant, ah, how delicious. Isn’t finding a boyfriend tempting?
Most of the boys attending today’s social were Beastmen, after all, it’s the Beastmen who have to face the possible frenzy of the Manic-Depressive Period.
Most of them were from the military academy.
With a significant disparity in gender ratio at the military academy, especially with an abundance of male students, this social event naturally came to be.
The girls from other majors actually did wish to find a boyfriend from the military academy—top students from the academy often go on to military schools after graduation.
A smaller portion would take up positions in important departments, like the Interstellar Court or special training bases, and so on.
Those are all careers with limitless prospects!
Therefore, most of the girls who came to the dance today were dressed in formal gowns, looking exceptionally beautiful and proper. Gu Yan even spotted Luo Xixi in the crowd?
Seeing Gu Yan freeze, Vivian whispered, "Xiaoyan, what’s wrong?"
"I saw Luo Xixi, strange, doesn’t she have a fiancé, Mu Feng?"
"I heard that Mu Feng is going to call off their engagement, not sure if it’s true."
"Oh."
Gu Yan didn’t think much of it, it wasn’t her business anyway. Since their last incident, Luo Xixi hadn’t troubled her anymore, and probably wouldn’t in the future either.
That’s exactly what Gu Yan would prefer.
However, the next moment she realized that Mu Feng had also come to the dance.
Could it be that Luo Xixi came for Mu Feng?
Anyway, it was all quite complicated, Gu Yan didn’t think about it too much. The first dance hadn’t started yet, so she grabbed Vivian and headed towards the buffet area.
I wonder if the person in charge of the buffet from the Su Family restaurant this time is someone I’m familiar with.
Just at this moment, Gu Yan’s communicator beeped. She looked down to see a message from Bai Li.
Bai Li: Xiaoyan, what are you doing?
