Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 721: You Guys Go on a Date

Xiaowei was clearly worried, restless, and today she had hidden away and didn’t come out for class.

After chatting for a few sentences, Gu Yan confirmed that this soul was indeed the other half of Vivian, but she was unclear about the situation with the other soul in this body.

She didn’t say much.

When a little while had passed and the class was about to end, she saw Xu Wei’an getting ready to leave, so she got up to follow her.

"It’s lunchtime now, shall we go to the cafeteria together?"

Xu Wei’an looked at Gu Yan and, after seeing her bright smile and thinking it over, did not refuse.

She thought that Gu Yan seemed to have a nice personality and perhaps Xiaowei wanted to get closer to her.

Two beautiful girls entered the cafeteria, and Gu Yan was actually a bit curious; after all, the cafeteria at Empire University didn’t use to offer so many stir-fried dishes since most of the time, the students just drank nutrient liquids.

Also, the auntie who was scooping the food would dig up a spoonful loaded with meat, but with a shake of her hand—uh, by the time she served it into the students’ bowls, it was mostly vegetables left.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but stare!

After getting her meal, she followed Xu Wei’an to find a seat. With puzzled disbelief, she said, "Why was that auntie’s hand shaking while serving food? Does she have an uncomfortable hand?"

Xu Wei’an, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing Gu Yan’s words.

She asked, "Is this your first time eating in the school cafeteria?"

Gu Yan: "I, I mostly eat off-campus."

"No wonder then. Those aunties have always been like this. After they shake off the meat, what’s left is for them to eat later when it’s their turn."

"!!!!!!!"

Gu Yan was genuinely shocked, agape with amazement.

Xu Wei’an’s lips curved up slightly, and realizing she was smiling, pressed her lips back down.

Gu Yan quickly adjusted her emotions and curiously said, "Xu Wei’an, you seem a bit unhappy. Let me tell you, everyone encounters some unhappy events, and you shouldn’t let the unhappy things or people affect your mood—it’s not worth it because life is so short."

Just a couple of hundred years.

Xu Wei’an initially thought Gu Yan would ask her why she was unhappy, but the next moment, instead of asking, Gu Yan began consoling her directly.

How should I put it? Gu Yan was very pretty, and everything about her, whether speaking or doing things, gave off a very comfortable vibe.

It was as if... they had been friends for many years.

But how could that be?

Neither she nor Xiaowei had any recollection of knowing this Gu Yan.

Thinking of Moran, Xu Wei’an’s voice faltered before she tentatively asked, "Gu Yan, if you were faced with a decision that on the surface seems to be entirely to your advantage, what would you do? Because it’s so advantageous, it’d be such a pity to miss out, and even... if you miss it, you might never get the chance again in your lifetime. What would you do?"

Gu Yan immediately understood.

It must have been last night when Moran told Xu Wei’an the truth.

But Moran, with her own ulterior motives, definitely wouldn’t have told the whole truth, and what’s most important is that Gu Yan was also unclear about the exact relationship between Vivian and the original soul in this body.

Was it a symbiotic friendship?

Or a hostile fight for life?

It was for Gu Yan to judge, since she couldn’t ask outright, and through her observations, Xu Wei’an seemed to hesitate at the moment... So did that mean there was some important matter making her hesitant?

With a perfectly curious expression on her face, Gu Yan asked, "Since it’s all beneficial, why do you have reservations? Are you worried there might be some hidden dangers at play?"

"Pies don’t just fall from the sky without reason; those who deceive others always start by luring them in with benefits."

Gu Yan nodded, "I understand now. So, you mean to say, because this matter appears beneficial on the surface, that’s what’s making you hesitant?"

"You could say that."

But Gu Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

To kill the original soul, Weiwei’an would have to go back to the Interstellar Era.

Yet, what Weiwei’an was saying now was that this matter was all beneficial... So, there were two possibilities: first, this Weiwei’an wouldn’t hesitate to kill the real Xu Wei’an.

The second possibility was that Moran had deceived this Weiwei’an!

Even though Gu Yan felt somewhat nervous and her palms were sweaty, she took a slight breath of relief when she thought of her mother’s trust in her and how Brother Little Mushroom had encouraged her, and then she said, "Every matter has its pros and cons, so I think apart from the benefits presented before you, there must also be significant drawbacks. If you’re unsure, you could find out what the drawbacks are, and if you can accept them, then you can accept the benefits. If you can’t accept the drawbacks, it’s better to just give them up."

"I also think there must be drawbacks, but the key issue is, I don’t know what they are."

"Then... why not just ask?"

Weiwei’an was stunned for a moment.

Yes, why not just ask directly, instead of going around in circles?

If she couldn’t bring herself to give up something that was good for both her and Xu Wei’an, then she should just get to the bottom of it.

Weiwei’an nodded, "Mm, I get it now, thank you Gu Yan. By the way, give me your phone number; let’s stay in touch frequently."

"Sure."

After finishing the meal, the other party had other business to attend to, picked up their belongings, and left. Gu Yan first went to the Humanities Building, then used Instant Teleportation in the restroom to arrive in her hotel room.

Right after she teleported, she eagerly recounted her entire conversation with Weiwei’an to her mother.

And she expressed her suspicions.

Su Wan nodded approvingly and asked, "So, Xiaoyan, which possibility do you think it is?"

"I’m not certain."

"Having interacted with this Weiwei’an, do you think she is the kind of person who could kill Xu Wei’an without batting an eye?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"No, no, no, although she’s a bit more aloof than the Weiwei’an I knew before, and her vigilance is quite high, and even when she acts and speaks, she’s very efficient and decisive, but she is definitely not the type of person who is cruel and ruthless! Moreover, when we were in the cafeteria today, I saw her smile, and it was a genuine smile from the heart, not a fake one."

Su Wan stroked her daughter’s long hair, "So, that means it’s likely the second possibility, that Moran deceived her. She’ll go to Moran to verify, and next, we just wait."

"We just wait?"

Su Wan put down the book in her hand and nodded slightly, "Yes, we wait, and I expect that the situation won’t drag on for too long. I’ll wait here; you go out and have a date with Bai Li."

Gu Yan’s face turned red instantly upon hearing her mother’s words.

In a quiet voice, she said, "Date, what date? We’re here to do important work, how can we go on a date!"
