Chapter 1704: Chapter 1704: Fake School Hunk vs. Real School Belle (Part 59)

The next day, Gu Shengyin informed her family early, saying she had plans to hang out with friends today and wouldn’t be home for dinner.

Mo Zhongliang’s approach to his daughter’s upbringing was always one of relaxed oversight. As long as her studies weren’t neglected, the rest of her free time was left for her own planning.

Right after school, Gu Shengyin saw Yu Qingyun’s car waiting nearby.

"Is it just the two of us today?" Gu Shengyin looked around.

Most of the time, it was the driver driving.

Yu showed a slight, faint smile: "Just the two of us."

Gu Shengyin didn’t see anything wrong with that.

She shrugged and got into the front passenger seat.

She asked, "I heard from Qingyue that Brother Yu wants to treat me to a meal because of what happened last time?"

Yu Qingyun was momentarily stunned, knowing that his sister might have come up with an excuse for him.

He nodded slightly: "Yes, and no."

Gu Shengyin laughed: "Looks like you’ve learned how to keep people guessing too?"

The destination today was not unfamiliar to Gu Shengyin.

The teahouse where they first met.

Still on the third floor.

Yu Qingyun saw Gu Shengyin’s gaze and explained: "This teahouse is under my name, and this third floor is a private area, not open to guests."

No wonder. Gu Shengyin nodded in understanding.

It was still the same refreshing scent of tea, and even the position of the tables and chairs hadn’t changed.

Yu Qingyun spoke: "Beiye, make me a pot of tea, please."

Gu Shengyin teased: "I heard you’re supposed to treat me to a meal, how come I’m the one making tea instead? That’s quite a loss."

Yu Qingyun smiled at her words: "Don’t worry, you won’t miss out on a meal. I just want to talk to you before dinner."

The water on the stove hadn’t boiled yet, and Gu Shengyin wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, she was more curious to know what he wanted to discuss.

She sat on the chair, her large eyes clear and full of curiosity.

Yu Qingyun had conducted various negotiations with different people many times before.

Each time, he was almost always confident.

But this time, he couldn’t predict the outcome.

He began: "I heard from Qingyue that you have many admirers at school. What’s your take on that?"

Being indirect was never the style of the Eldest Son of the Yu family; when he wanted to know something, he would ask directly.

Gu Shengyin was a bit surprised, seemingly not expecting him to ask this question.

Her face blushed, which was a natural reaction of a young teenager: "I... I don’t actually have any thoughts."

Yu Qingyun was satisfied with this answer.

No thoughts meant she hadn’t fallen for anyone.

He asked again: "I’ve heard there are even boys at school confessing to you?"

Gu Shengyin’s expression froze slightly at this.

Yu Qingyun was originally just probing Mo Beiye’s attitude towards this, but seeing her reaction, there really were boys who confessed to her?

Yu Qingyun felt a slight itch in his hand.

Gu Shengyin cleared her throat and said: "There... there was one."

Yu Qingyun asked calmly: "Does that disgust you?"

Gu Shengyin shook her head.

From Mo Beiye’s perspective, she was a girl, hearing a confession from the opposite sex wouldn’t be disgusting.

From her own perspective, race was irrelevant; why would gender matter?

She shook her head: "If I like someone or reject someone, the reasons would absolutely not be related to gender, nationality, or anything like that."

After she finished, she saw Yu Qingyun’s face break into a smile.
