Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 693: I’ve Been Through This Before

Recently, there have been too many issues, with Vivian’s whereabouts unknown and Bai Li’s ambiguous intentions, which have been troubling Gu Yan a lot.

Only by focusing on her studies could she temporarily forget these worries.

Suddenly, she heard many footsteps, including the voice of her grandfather Gu Lei. Gu Yan instinctively looked up and saw Grandfather Gu Lei, walking over with a group of people, while introducing something.

The person standing on Gu Lei’s right was the head of the institution at their school, while on his left stood a young man.

Gu Yan did not recognize the young man.

However, his demeanor while listening to Gu Lei speak was courteous, occasionally nodding slightly in agreement.

It was clear that he was very considerate of others’ feelings, and his smiling face was quite comfortable to behold.

At the very least, it made Gu Yan feel at ease.

As the group approached, they saw Gu Yan sitting at the desk studying, and their eyes met.

Jiang Huai subconsciously halted his steps.

Of course, Jiang Huai had never met Gu Yan, but he had seen many videos and images of her.

Beyond the fact that her parents were Gu Jue and Su Wan, and her brother was Emperor Gu Chen of Landis Star, the most significant point was that Gu Yan was also a Plantman!

The emergence of Plantman Star was essentially an aggregation of their species, hence they naturally felt a closeness to their own kind.

Moreover, Gu Yan was very beautiful, and the information that had spread about her indicated she had a very amiable character, gentle and kind.

Jiang Huai pursed his lips, his heartbeat quickening, but he kept a demure and polite facade.

Gu Lei nodded to Gu Yan and was about to lead Jiang Huai and the others to see other parts of the library when Jiang Huai, with perfect politeness, greeted Gu Yan with a bow.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Gu Yan?"

Gu Yan did not know the person, but deduced from the attitude of Gu Lei and the others that they must be guests.

She stood up and nodded politely, "I am Gu Yan, hello."

"My name is Jiang Huai, I am... a Plantman."

After introducing himself with a smile, Jiang Huai did not linger. He nodded to Gu Yan and then followed the rest of the group away.

It then dawned on Gu Yan why she felt a good rapport with him and the people behind him—it was because they were Plantmen as well.

The silver-white clothing he wore was exquisitely embroidered with delicate green vine leaves, which looked particularly beautiful.

There were also some Plantmen on Landis Star now, but since Gu Yan spent most of her childhood at home due to her health, and then went to Empire University for her studies, she had not met many Plantmen.

She was quick-witted and immediately thought that Jiang Huai and his companions from earlier probably weren’t from their planet.

They must be guests from that planet where Plantmen held a dominant position.

Their friendly appearance probably indicated an intention to establish friendly relations with Landis Star. With this thought, Gu Yan’s mood also improved, perhaps in the future, she could make many Plantman friends.

When Bai Li came in from outside with two cups of coffee in hand, he saw Gu Yan with a slight smile on her lips, twirling a pen between her fingers in a clearly good mood.

Bai Li handed the caramel macchiato to Gu Yan, "Xiaoyan, encountered something good? You seem very happy."

Gu Yan, "I just saw a few Plantmen!"

Bai Li, "Oh."

That was where the conversation ended. Bai Li wasn’t quite sure why Gu Yan was so pleased to see Plantmen, and seeing him seemingly indifferent, Gu Yan lost the desire to continue the conversation.

It seemed that Brother Little Mushroom wasn’t that interested in her matters.

Emotions suddenly plummeted.

When it was time for the two to part, Gu Yan just said softly, "I’m leaving," and then she left.

Bai Li slightly furrowed his brows, not understanding why Xiaoyan seemed a bit down today.

On the aircraft, as Gu Yan was waiting for her brother Gu Yu, she sat waiting. Xiaofu asked curiously, "Master, why are you unhappy?"

Gu Yan sank into the sofa seat and sighed, "I feel that I am becoming stranger, having more and more expectations for Brother Little Mushroom. But when I think about it, he has been good to me ever since we were young. I shouldn’t hope for anything more."

The young Gu Yan didn’t yet understand that this feeling was love, because she liked and cared about that person, and thus also hoped for a response.

But now it seemed that the other party did not have such a response for her.

She slapped her face forcefully.

"I should wake up, right? Maybe if I stay away from Brother Little Mushroom for a while, this condition will ease?"

Xiaofu didn’t quite understand, but it simply said, "No matter what the master does, I will always firmly support the master!"

Gu Yan forced a smile, "Thank you, Xiaofu."

Before long, Gu Yu finished his experiment and boarded the aircraft. He was very excited as he spoke to Gu Yan, "Xiaoyan, you know how I took some of Vivian’s blood and hair for research? I’ve finally made progress!"

Gu Yan, upon hearing this, also became excited, "What happened, do you know why Vivian passes out so easily now?"

"I haven’t figured that part out yet, but I did find out one thing, and that is, there’s nothing wrong with Vivian’s body."

Gu Yan was stunned, "Nothing wrong?"

Gu Yu nodded, "That’s right, her body is very healthy, especially since she’s a Beastman, she’s naturally healthier than pure humans. That is to say, her fainting might not be related to her body."

The more Gu Yan listened, the more confused she became, "If it’s not related to her body, then what is it related to?"

Gu Yu said gravely, "The soul."

"What?"

This matter was just too fantastical, and Gu Yan could not imagine why there would be a problem with a person’s soul.

But Gu Yu couldn’t explain it either.

In the end, they decided that after returning home, they would report this matter to their mother Su Wan to see if she would understand.

Today, Su Wan had dealt with the affairs of the Su Family restaurant before returning home, which was later than usual.

As soon as she arrived home, she saw her daughter Gu Yan coming out to meet her, and for some reason she thought of the Insect God.

Had the Insect God stayed on Landis Star because of Xiaoyan?

Su Wan calmly suppressed these doubts in her heart.

Instead, it was Gu Yan and Gu Yu who eagerly told her about Vivian’s situation.

"Mom, what do you think if someone keeps fainting, and it’s related to the soul? Have you heard of such a thing?"

After hearing her children’s words, Su Wan’s thoughts were pulled back.

Her expression slowly became serious.

She nodded solemnly.

"I have heard of it, and, in fact, I’ve experienced it before."
