Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 640: I Don’t Want to Get Close to Him

Chapter 640: Chapter 640: I Don’t Want to Get Close to Him

"Why is Gu Yan getting so close to an insect?" And he’s not even that good-looking."

"That sneaky insect must be after Gu Yan’s family background for sure."

"Gu Yan is too naive!"

"Man, if only I had made a move earlier, sigh, I let that insect get ahead of me!"

Some of the boys were lamenting how easily fooled Gu Yan was, and they all believed that the Insectoid named Bai Li had approached her with ulterior motives!

Somebody even brought up a past incident.

"I heard that this Bai Li helped Gu Yan during military training, which gained her favor."

"I remember that incident. Someone was bullying Gu Yan, and then gave the Insectoid a chance, right? Tsk, they might be in cahoots."

Anji, who had posted the anonymous post, had been keeping an eye on its progress, was immediately infuriated by such comments.

How could he possibly be in cahoots with that insect?!

But Anji suddenly realized belatedly, damn, if he hadn’t gone to snatch Gu Yan’s car back then, but had offered help instead, possibly making a heroic rescue later...

Wouldn’t he be the one close to Gu Yan right now?

By fooling the naive Gu Yan, maybe even Commander Gu and Commander Su would appreciate him, wouldn’t he easily reach the pinnacle of his life?!

What a great opportunity!

And he let that insect take it away!

Meanwhile, some of the girls who had read the post were very worried. Those who used to be close to Gu Yan all messaged her to ask what was going on and told her to check the forum.

Ji Mu, who also saw the trending post, was immediately outraged.

What’s wrong with these people, calling them ’insect’ this and ’insect’ that? Are they looking down on the Insectoids?!

And, they dare to dislike the appearance of the Insectoids?

This butterfly was immediately rolling up her sleeves to join the fray!

"Those saying Insectoids are average-looking, step forward and let this young master take a look at your bear-like face!"

"Calling Gu Yan naive, I think you’re the one who’s stupid!"

"When people are together, it’s because they appreciate each other. How come it sounds so distasteful when it comes out of the mouths of you beasts?"

Beastman, cough, they are all animals, so Ji Mu’s use of ’beasts’ here instantly caused an uproar.

The post exploded in popularity!

Gu Yan and Bai Li were on their way back to the dorm to eat when they noticed the post and the photos.

As for the thread, they hadn’t gone through it entirely, mainly because there were thousands of replies, too many to get through.

Gu Yan frowned: "Aren’t these people too idle?"

Bai Li remained calm. Actually, for him, removing the post was very easy, but for some reason, he rather enjoyed watching these people discuss his relationship with Gu Yan.

Of course, he had taken note of the IDs of those who spoke maliciously and kept insisting that he was not good enough for Xiaoyan.

Gu Yan, however, did not like this at all. Seeing those words claiming Bai Li had approached her with ulterior motives really annoyed her.

She immediately contacted the forum administrator to have the post removed, but the administrator had difficulties, "This post hasn’t affected your reputation; there’s nothing in it that’s detrimental to you."

Some parts of the post were sarcastic, like saying Gu Yan was too naive, implying she was too easily deceived.

They only dared to be sarcastic and did not directly say anything bad about Gu Yan, so from the administrator’s point of view, there was no reason to ban the post.

Gu Yan frowned, "But, the things they said are personal attacks on my friend! They have come here as exchange students, and now are regarded as students of Empire University. You can’t treat them differently!"

The administrator felt a bit helpless. It seemed that Gu Yan had been very successfully brainwashed by that Insectoid!

She had even started to speak up for him?

At this moment, Bai Li, who was sitting beside Gu Yan, lifted his eyes and said, "Xiaoyan, it’s not necessary."

"But..."

Gu Yan looked at Bai Li’s calm eyes and felt a bit depressed, but in the end, she still ended the call with the administrator.

Sitting on the couch, she was somewhat sullen. "I hate it when they talk about you like that!"

A softness touched Bai Li’s heart, and he reached out to stroke Gu Yan’s long hair. "It’s okay, I don’t care what they say."

Vivian came out of the room just in time to witness this touching scene. She felt a bit awkward, not sure whether to retreat or pretend she hadn’t seen anything.

Fortunately, at that moment, Bai Li withdrew his hand, having finished eating, and stood up to leave.

Before he left, Bai Li said to Gu Yan, "Don’t take what’s on the school forum too seriously."

"Okay."

It was only after Bai Li had left that Vivian spoke softly, "Xiaoyan, I didn’t disturb you, did I?"

"No, what’s wrong? You don’t look too well."

Vivian hesitated for a while, then finally relayed what Gu Chen had said to her. Gu Yan wasn’t surprised by her brother’s pace, but she just looked at Vivian’s expression.

She said, "Vivian, do you dislike my brother?"

Vivian was not dense; she faintly felt that Gu Chen might have a favorable impression of her, but... being with Gu Chen meant completely integrating into the Gu Family, which was different from being friends with Gu Yan.

As friends, they still had their own lives, so she didn’t need to worry about her father’s identity.

However, if she continued to get close to Gu Chen...

Vivian looked down at her shadow on the ground and said, "I don’t dislike him, it’s just... Xiaoyan, I don’t want to get too close to him."

Gu Yan was taken aback. "Why?"

Vivian clenched her hands and continued to speak the words against her will, "Getting closer to him signifies something I understand. But I can’t tear down that barrier because he’s not the type I like."

Gu Yan was stunned.

The previous few probes, filled with jest, were left not fully addressed.

Because they were in jest, they could act both offensively and defensively.

But this time, because of her brother’s initiative, Vivian immediately took several steps back, leaving Gu Yan at a loss for words.

"Vivian, you don’t have to draw conclusions so early. You don’t understand my brother, you could spend some time getting to know him first before deciding..."

Vivian shook her head, "You know my character. I would never treat this kind of thing as a joke. Not to mention, do you think my personality is much different from that of the former Empress?"

Gu Yan was caught off guard.

The former Empress Vivian mentioned was Luo Manya.

It has to be said that although Luo Manya was a purebred human, her character, her intelligence, her demeanor, really fit the role of Empress quite well.

Gentle yet firm.

Neither too domineering nor the sort of person who always bends to the will of others, easily bullied.

Whether it was Luo Manya’s gentleness or her firmness, both were just right.

As for Vivian...
