Editor: Henyee Translations
On Friday, after classes ended, Gu Jin and Xiao Yize went on a date at the shooting club.
Gu Yang did her homework in the dormitory for a while before heading out in the afternoon. novelbuddy.cσ๓
Meanwhile, Tong Jiayin was enjoying the new plant essence facial mask launched by the Good Family this month. Spotting Gu Yang preparing to leave, she called out, “Hey, Gu Yang, where are you off to?”
Gu Yang looked puzzled.
Sensing her question might seem sudden, Tong Jiayin quickly added, “The dorm supervisor will be checking tonight. As the dorm head, I need to know your plans. It’s just protocol.”
“I’ll be out for a bit. I’ll be back tonight.”
Gu Yang didn’t specify her destination.
Throughout this exchange, Tong Jiayin scrutinized her closely, sensing her curiosity about Gu Yang’s whereabouts. However, Gu Yang remained guarded.
One always had to be cautious around others.
Gu Yang and Feng Jue headed to the Grass-Raising Internet Cafe.
Cao Cuo messaged Gu Yang, asking her to come over.
Since they first met at the Grass-Raising Internet Cafe, Gu Yang and Cao Cuo had added each other on WeChat and stayed in touch.
Gu Yang felt somewhat unfamiliar with Cao Cuo, and with her jealous boyfriend beside her, she didn’t initiate contact with him.
Nevertheless, Cao Cuo occasionally shared videos of Big Orange with her or sent photos of flowers and plants, discussing gardening tips. These interactions gradually strengthened their bond, making Gu Yang feel like they were still able to chat and laugh together.
At least it wasn’t as awkward as before.
When they reunited, Cao Cuo’s appearance had transformed significantly.
He had gone from a scruffy middle-aged uncle to a handsome young man.
His bone structure was striking, with elegantly proportioned hands and a handsome face exuding a clear aura. He truly embodied Feng Menglong’s adage, “Rare are the bones of beauty in this world.”
Gu Yang was taken aback. If not for his unchanged voice, she wouldn’t have recognized the Cao Cuo standing before her.
Despite their meeting, Cao Cuo and Feng Jue remained at odds, tacitly ignoring each other.
Cao Cuo presented Gu Yang with a pot of orchids, his usually melancholic eyes softened with gentleness. “Yangyang, this is a belated 18th birthday gift.”
His words sounded casual, as though he was offering an ordinary orchid.
But Gu Yang was stunned at what she saw. “Pure Crown Lotus Cauldron!”
The Pure Crown Lotus Cauldron was an exceedingly rare orchid, a prized treasure among plant enthusiasts, with prices soaring into the tens of millions.
Noticing Gu Yang’s hesitation, Cao Cuo frowned. “You don’t like it?”
Her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes evoking sympathy.
Gu Yang shook her head. “No, the gift is wonderful, but it’s too precious.”
Cao Cuo smiled warmly and said, “I cultivated this orchid myself during my free time. It’s not valuable. What matters is that you appreciate it. Keep it on your dormitory windowsill; it’ll help purify the air.”
Gu Yang was speechless.
She glanced at the exquisite flowers in Cao Cuo’s internet cafe and finally accepted the gift. “Thank you. I really like this gift.”
Cao Cuo beamed back at her, looking like an innocent child receiving praise.
Feng Jue observed from the sidelines, silently scoffing to himself.
Who couldn’t even grow a pot of succulents?
“Yangyang, your friend was also at the internet cafe last time. Go hang out with her first. I’ll chat with Feng Jue alone,” Cao Cuo said with a clear, gentle voice, akin to a caring older brother.
Feng Jue nodded with a smile. “Sis, go have fun for a bit. I’ll catch up with you later.”
What was the big deal about finding a place to spar alone?
Who was scared of whom?
