Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 710: A Date Together?

Bai Li squinted his eyes; Gu Yan had just added him back to her neuro-computer account yesterday, but the little girl didn’t say anything to him.

They were clearly very close.

But because he didn’t understand emotions, it seemed like there was a barrier between them.

Bai Li thought for a moment and asked Ji Mu, "What kind of messages do you usually send to your girlfriend?"

"Eh? Which girlfriend are you talking about?"

"..."

Ji Mu immediately realized what he said, coughed lightly, and quickly said, "It’s definitely all kinds of caring and considerate messages. Also, you can send her some lovey-dovey texts. Little girls like that sort of thing. Just wait a moment, Your Excellency, I’ll organize this type of messages and send them all to you."

A few minutes later, Bai Li’s neuro-computer received a bunch of cheesy love lines.

"I am nine, you are three; besides you, it’s still you."

"Do you know the difference between you and the stars? The stars are in the sky, but you are in my heart."

"I want to buy a piece of land, what kind? Your undying devotion!"

...

After reading them, the corners of Bai Li’s mouth twitched.

"Ji Mu, is it by sending these kinds of messages that you got those girlfriends?"

"No, Your Excellency, it’s simply because I’m too handsome. As soon as I show up, all the senior and junior sisters fall for me."

Bai Li ground his teeth, considering whether or not to recall this flirtatious butterfly from the Landis Star back to a deserted Insect Nest.

He couldn’t bring himself to send these messages.

However... Ji Mu did have a point; it was necessary to keep in touch with Xiaoyan before he completely won her over.

Not to mention that Plantmen naturally have a certain affinity for one another.

On this account, he couldn’t let his guard down around Jiang Huai.

Although Bai Li didn’t send those cheesy lines to Gu Yan, he still sent a message to her neuro-computer.

Bai Li: Are you about to have exams? Once you finish your exams and I’m done with things here, let’s go to that secret base of yours together.

Gu Yan didn’t quite understand what Bai Li meant by suddenly sending her this message.

The secret base Bai Li mentioned was the mysterious fruit and vegetable growing space that only Gu Yan and her mother Su Wan could enter. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

She bit her lip corner lightly and then replied with a message.

Gu Yan: Do you want to go to that place?

Bai Li: No, I want to go on a date with you there.

Gu Yan froze completely, thankful that her neuro-computer was wristwatch-style and hung on her wrist; otherwise, she would have surely dropped it at this moment!

A date?

At this time, Jiang Huai, who was sitting next to Gu Yan, whispered a reminder, "Gu Yan, the teacher is calling you."

Gu Yan was in class, and because of Bai Li’s message about a date, she lost her focus completely.

Hearing the reminder, she quickly raised her head and said to the teacher, "Sorry, teacher, I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable. What were you saying just now?"

The teacher’s attitude was gentle, "Nothing much, just wanted you to answer a question. You’re not feeling well; why don’t you go to the medical room?"

Gu Yan had no choice but to nod reluctantly.

Jiang Huai looked at her with concern and finally asked the teacher for leave before coming out to see her off.

Gu Yan hurriedly said, "I’m fine, I can go on my own."

"I’ll accompany you," Jiang Huai insisted without a word, carrying Gu Yan’s books for her.

Gu Yan tried to refuse again but suddenly saw a profound sadness in Jiang Huai’s eyes.

She heard him say, "Us Plantmen children, many of us grow up with poor health, only a few possess strong spiritual power. Moreover, being scattered across various planets, many Plantmen children don’t live long enough to reach adulthood..."

Gu Yan: "I’m sorry..."

Jiang Huai forced a smile and said, "You don’t need to apologize, it has nothing to do with you. What I mean is, you should always take good care of yourself, especially when you’re not feeling well. Even though you’re an adult now, you can’t let your guard down."

Plantmen evolved later than Beastmen, and no one knows why some pure humans evolved into Plantmen.

But existence is reasonable in itself.

Indeed, because Plantmen tend to die young, they later united.

Gu Yan no longer refused Jiang Huai’s kindness, and even though there was nothing wrong with her body, she was finally escorted by the persistent Jiang Huai to the medical room.

Fortunately, Gu Yu was there, so Gu Yan said to Jiang Huai, "You should go back to class. My brother is here, and he will take care of me if anything happens."

"Alright, rest well," said Jiang Huai, a person who particularly knew when to advance and retreat. He nodded at Gu Yu and then turned to leave.

Gu Yu, hearing that his sister was feeling unwell, immediately hurried over and asked, "Xiaoyan, what’s the matter?"

"Nothing much, just a bit of dizziness. The teacher insisted I get checked, but I’m really fine," she replied.

Gu Yu didn’t believe it and still had a doctor check his sister. After about fifteen minutes, the doctor said, "Gu-student is fine, she probably just needs more rest."

Gu Yu then insisted on taking his sister home to rest, and on the spaceship, he suddenly asked curiously, "Oh yes, Xiaoyan, the boy who accompanied you to the medical room, is he from the Vegetation Planet?"

"Mm-hmm, his name is Jiang Huai, he’s a very good person."

Gu Yu recalled what his older brother mentioned before, saying those Plantman exchange students were all out to get Xiaoyan’s attention.

He whispered, "Xiaoyan, if anything happens in the future, just communicate with me directly. Stay away from those smelly boys."

Although Gu Yu was engrossed in his experiments, his care for his sister was certainly no less than that of their brother Gu Chen.

Especially since their family had already made up their minds that they would never allow Xiaoyan to marry far away!

Gu Yan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, but as she chatted with her brother, her gaze drifted to the light computer screen.

She hadn’t replied to the message, and Bai Li hadn’t sent any more messages either.

The word ’date’ that had almost been forgotten surged back to her mind, and Gu Yan returned home in a daze. She didn’t hear whatever her brother said afterward.

Since it was still early and the rest of the family wasn’t home yet, it was only when she was alone in her room that Xiaofu cautiously broached the subject.

"Master, master, what’s wrong with you?" it asked.

"I’m fine."

"But you don’t look like you’re fine," it observed.

Gu Yan lifted her head to look at Xiaofu, fluttering its metallic wings, full of worry. She patted her slightly warm cheeks and asked, "What do you think Brother Little Mushroom meant by asking me on a date?"

"A date probably means he wants to marry you in the future, right? From the Beastman perspective, this behavior likely means he wants to accompany you through your Manic-Depressive Period and become your exclusive medicine. Oh right, since neither of you are Beastmen, looking at it from a Plantman perspective, it means he wants to pollinate with you and rear offspring. And from the Insectoid perspective, it means he wants to reproduce with you!"

Gu Yan: "..."

Alright, enough said.

If she heard any more, she’d be embarrassed enough to Instant Teleport away!
