Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 769: The Most ... Coquettish Men

Gu Yan had no idea that she had inadvertently dug such a big hole for Su Man.

Even if she had known, she wouldn’t have regretted reporting her.

After all, that Su Man was too detestable.

That evening, Bai Li called Gu Yan, "Xiaoyan, don’t worry, I won’t let that Su Man appear before you again."

"Did she die?"

Bai Li paused slightly in his tone, "No, not dead, Xi Le had someone send her back to the Insectoid Planet and she’s not allowed to come out again."

Gu Yan responded with an "Oh."

Bai Li wasn’t sure whether the other party was disappointed or relieved for a moment.

But he smartly didn’t continue the topic.

His subconscious told him that he hadn’t done anything wrong in this matter.

So Bai Li earnestly said, "Xiaoyan, if you run into trouble in the future, you can report it to me like this."

Gu Yan was a bit embarrassed, "I wasn’t actually reporting, I just..."

"It’s fine. I’m not usually by your side when you encounter trouble, and I’m the first person you want to seek help from, which is good."

Gu Yan suddenly felt her cheeks heat up.

This person was really something.

He spoke words of affection, but with such formal delivery, the effect of the contrast was even more pronounced.

Gu Yan cleared her throat softly, "When will you guys be able to finish the war?"

"Soon."

"Oh."

Bai Li felt the conversation between the two was dry, or maybe Xiaoyan had too much happening during the day, so the young girl seemed a bit distracted now. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In his mind, he suddenly recalled what a subordinate had mentioned.

’It is said that the great Commander Gu and Commander Su had acted coy...’

Acting coy was something that had never happened in Bai Li’s several reincarnations, but now that he was constantly separated from Gu Yan, unable to be by her side, that feeling of distance made Lord Insect God somewhat panicky.

Especially considering his Xiaoyan was such a sweet and cute young girl.

If acting coy could secure a lover’s heart... it should be effective, after all, even a person like Gu Jue had used it.

And it had had an effect on someone like Su Wan.

It must be said that the example was so vivid that, despite being quite unaccustomed to it, Bai Li still softly called out, "Xiaoyan."

"Huh? What is it?"

"I miss you."

"..."

She had heard the other party express longing before, but this time, Gu Yan inexplicably felt it was different!

She pursed her lips, her cheeks growing warm, and hummed a very soft acknowledgment.

What was she to do next?

In the projected video, the two of them faced each other in silence. Bai Li stretched out his hand, across the virtual screen, "Xiaoyan, do you want, to hug me?"

Gu Yan: "..."

Is this really Bai Li?

Who could withstand this!

Was the next line going to be, do you want to kiss me?

Gu Yan felt like she was in over her head – if she were a mushroom at that moment, she probably would have turned from a white mushroom into a red one!

"But, but I can’t hug you."

What exactly is she talking about?

Just as Gu Yan was about to explode, she suddenly heard someone knocking at the door. She quickly said in a panic, "Brother Little Mushroom, we’ll stop here for today, goodbye!"

Then the screen went dark.

Bai Li’s handsome face grew increasingly grave.

Could it be that his way of acting spoilt was wrong? Should he ask Gu Jue how he does it?

On the other hand, Gu Yan looked as if she had done something naughty, her cheeks flushed. She went to open the door and saw her elder brother standing at the entrance.

Gu Yu regarded her with suspicion, reaching out to touch his sister’s forehead, "Xiaoyan, are you sick? Your face is so red. Come on, let’s go to the infirmary, and I’ll check you out."

"Ah, brother, no need, I was just steaming my face with hot water vapor. It has a beautifying effect. But you interrupted me, what do you need?" she replied.

"I’ve developed some concoctions that are good for the skin and have sent some over for mother and you. There is some extra here, you can give it to your friends when the time comes."

"Oh, okay, thank you, elder brother."

Gu Yu, who was usually fond of concocting all sorts of odd things, of course, would surely give them something that had no side effects.

However, with Gu Yu’s lengthy talk, Gu Yan managed to calm down a bit.

And in her heart, she found herself missing Bai Li even more than usual.

Gu Yan thought that after a while, when the war was over, Brother Little Mushroom would come back, and then her father and elder brother would also return, and everything would be fine.

But accidents always happen unexpectedly.

That day, Gu Yan was in the school library studying, usually spending her time there except for class hours, either writing papers or reading and researching.

Sometimes she would even wait for Vivian to finish class.

As she read, Luo Xixi came to her side. since their last encounter, the tension between the two seemed to have eased quite a bit.

Luo Xixi whispered, "Gu Yan, did you know? Afeng’s health has improved a lot, I heard he’s applying to be senior personnel at the Mecha Research Institute."

"That’s good news."

"Yes, thanks to you. And, I also heard him say that from now on, he is your brother?"

"Mhm."

Although Luo Xixi still had an air of arrogance, her eyes and brow seemed much softer now.

She said, "I actually thought he might rekindle his old feelings for you, but to my surprise, you directly cut off his hopes. Transforming it into familial affection is actually pretty good. That means I still have a chance!"

Gu Yan was a bit speechless and said softly, "This is a library, you’re not here to chat with me, are you?"

"Oh, then I won’t disturb your studies. By the way, this is milk tea and pastries I made myself. Try them! Afeng said the taste was not bad."

"..."

Gu Yan was really worried that Luo Xixi would never stop talking, so she reluctantly accepted the offerings and was forced to take a bite of each.

Seeing her eat, Luo Xixi was delighted, then waved her hand and turned to leave.

She didn’t like reading books.

Gu Yan was somewhat helpless, but she remembered her mother saying that the Luo Family were actually quite straightforward in character, showing both their good and bad sides openly.

Luo Xixi meant no harm.

Of course, Gu Yan and Mu Feng no longer had any romantic entanglements, and whether Luo Xixi could end up together with Mu Feng was their own affair.

Gu Yan didn’t pay it any attention and continued to bury herself in her books.

And standing at the library’s entrance was Jiang Huai, watching Luo Xixi walk away before his gaze shifted, landing on the partially eaten food beside Gu Yan.

Direct actions might leave a trace.

They could also cause conflict between two planets in the future.

Only by using other people’s food to reach Gu Yan’s mouth could she remain unsuspecting, increasing the likelihood of success.

And it had to be different people each time.

This time it was Luo Xixi, next time it would be...
