Chapter 219: Chapter 110: Gou Dongxi, you actually like this…
Touch or not?
While other boys were still thinking about it, Su Huai had already stretched out his furry paw.
If I’m not given the chance to touch, I’ll actively create the opportunity, and if I’m allowed, would I hold back?
Su Huai took hold of her small hand in one swift movement.
Hm, it’s really tiny.
Her slim and delicate hand, still a bit cool after exercise, was exceptionally soft and slippery, like the finest suet-white jade.
No, that’s not right, it feels like jade but as cold as ice.
In order to crush her shyness, Gou Huai deliberately brought up the topic.
“Just finished exercising, and your hands are this cold? Little 9, your circulation is really poor.”
Gu Jiuyue felt like she had grabbed a hand warmer, her whole hand enveloped by warmth, a feeling that was especially comfortable, spreading all the way to her cheeks.
Blushing, she softly replied, “Mhm, my doctor has reminded me to take good care of my circulation, and I’ve been trying, but it hasn’t been very effective.”
“How have you been trying to improve it? Eating more things like donkey-hide gelatin, mutton, and traditional Chinese medicine?”
“Yes, you know quite a bit, don’t you?”
“My mother is the type who also has weak energy and constitution. When I go home on vacation, I plan to bring her a few boxes of good quality donkey-hide gelatin.”
“Actually, it’s not very useful. If the consumption is low and the digestion is poor, even the best things can only have a little effect.”
“Then one must consistently take them over the long term and complement it with the right amount of exercise.”
“Yes, that’s what the doctor advised as well.”
The conversation between the two was especially peaceful and serious, looking like classmates who weren’t very familiar with each other having a casual chat.
But…
Gou Huai kept holding her hand tighter and tighter, and she, as if forgetting this fact, obediently let him hold it.
In less than a minute, Mr. Tongzi sent a congratulatory message.
[Gu Jiuyue’s Favorability Rating has surpassed 50 points. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new lucky draw opportunity.]
Her favorability grew steadily, without stopping, and her face became redder and redder.
Su Huai had every reason to suspect that it was because of his own vigorous energy.
She seemed to be fond of that warmth.
It’s easy to understand; she herself was always sickly, with cold hands and feet all day long. Suddenly, there’s a hot-blooded guy, and it was hard not to become dependent.
Gou Huai quickly realized that his attributes of health and physique were very impactful for her.
This girl doesn’t seem to care too much about looks; does she prefer the sense of security that a robust physique brings?
The only way to find out is to ask.
“How would you feel if I got a bit more muscular through working out?”
“Ah?” Gu Jiuyue stammered, “Why, why are you suddenly asking this?”
Since he had managed to shake her emotions, Gou Huai decided to be blunt: “I’m considering whether to continue bulking up… Do you like that kind of look?”
“I, I, I…”
Perhaps for the first time in her life, she was this flustered.
Whether she likes it or not, wasn’t that too suggestive?
Su Huai glanced at her and knew what was troubling her, smilingly giving her an out: “What are you daydreaming about? I’m just asking if you like strong-looking figures.”
“Those muscle men on TV?”
Gu Jiuyue quietly breathed a sigh of relief and decisively shook her head: “I don’t like them.”
After four words, there was nothing more to say.
Su Huai had no choice but to keep probing.
“Yeah, I also feel health and muscle aren’t the same thing. That level of muscle even goes against the natural concept of health and doesn’t make one look strong. Athletes like Sun Yang and Liu Xiang, they are the ones who are truly strong.”
“Exactly!”
Gu Jiuyue nodded emphatically, so Gou Huai, finding his opening, spared no effort to sing his own praises.
“That’s why you see, I never overdo it with workouts, I eat whatever I should eat, and maintaining my current physique is okay… of course, it’s actually quite hard.”
Gu Jiuyue nodded in agreement: “Yeah, you really are amazing.”
From her heart, from her gut, she truly thought Su Huai was extraordinary.
Gou Huai felt gratified and naturally let go of her hand, lifting his arm to rub her hair: “Thanks, you’re amazing too, Goddess Gu.”
Patting her head was incidental, the main thing was letting go—by now they had left campus and arrived at the residential area.
One must be vigilant of the old ladies at the community information station; I’m not dating Gu!
Gu Jiuyue shook her head, somewhat dissatisfied: “Be careful, is it okay for friends to just pat each other’s heads like that?”
“Of course, it’s okay between good friends!”
Su Huai insisted with brazen perseverance: “If you want, I can let you pat my head anytime.”
“I don’t want to.”
Gu Jiuyue looked up at his spiky hair and her face was full of disdain: “Just don’t touch my head in the future, we’re just friends, peers, don’t act like you’re one of my elders.”
Got it, she doesn’t go for the head-patting routine, unable to find a sense of security and belonging from such condescending affection.
Gou Huai felt he understood her better, knowing the level of intensity to use now.
Gu Jiuyue probably likes sporty, sunny boys because she lacks this herself; she seeks it externally.
Holding hands is okay, but head-patting is not, reflecting the boundaries of her needs.
It’s hard to explain verbally where that line is; straight men might never understand it for a lifetime, but Gou Huai had it figured out.
“OK, I get it.”
Su Huai readily agreed, not being stubborn or cheeky anymore, so Gu Jiuyue’s little displeasure quickly dissipated.
“I’m here.”
She said she had arrived, but instead of entering the building, she stood at the entrance, turning back to look at Su Huai.
Uh, want me to guess something again?
Su Huai looked into her eyes and tentatively asked, “Does saying goodbye also need a ritual? Like a hug?”
With a Favorability Rating of 50 points, he felt he had a small margin for audacity.
Gu Jiuyue’s ear tips turned a bit red, and her expression was annoyed: “What are you thinking? I was just wondering if you’d like to come up for a cup of water!”
