Chapter 55 - 54 Huai Becomes Mr. Huai
Chapter 55: Chapter 54 Huai Becomes Mr. Huai
Chu Changkuo did his best to suck in his stomach and puff out his chest, keeping his body tense and his gaze straight ahead as he walked towards Su Huai.
“Hey, Mr. Huai!”
He pulled out 180% of his enthusiasm, trying to mend fences with Su Huai, but his smile was slightly stiff.
“Did you come up with that plum juice idea? Quite innovative! No wonder Zhang trusts you so much, pushing you into the student council was really perceptive…”
When their eyes met, Mr. Chu’s were full of pleading.
Bro, give me some face, don’t tear me down!
Mr. Chu was feeling incredibly guilty, but seeing Su Huai and Chen Nuanhan standing together, he couldn’t miss this opportunity, so he bit the bullet and cozied up, showering praise from the get-go.
Sure enough, everyone was a bit stunned by Chu Changkuo’s words.
“Student council?!”
Wu Tianyou’s eyes widened: “Isn’t it too early for recruitment?”
Chu Changkuo smiled and nodded politely: “Yes, but Mr. Huai is a special recruit, serving as the Deputy Secretary-General in our School of Management’s student council… What, you didn’t know?”
Seizing the opportunity to ask a rhetorical question, Mr. Chu cleverly shifted his gaze around, surveying everyone’s faces and sneaking a peak at Chen Nuanhan’s true, bare face.
awsl!

How come she looks even better in person than in pictures?!
The heart of the wealthy second-generation Lord Jing was pounding wildly, his breath visibly quickened.
He’s met plenty of beautiful women but this time was especially different. Chen Nuanhan’s exotic yet exquisitely delicate features truly struck a chord with his aesthetic.
Isn’t she ten times more alluring than senior sister Bai Si?!
But Mr. Chu was somewhat astute, not staring at Chen Nuanhan to death, forcibly restraining his impulse and turning back to Su Huai.
“Mr. Huai, you’re not being fair! You’re a leader for the whole School of Management, how can you only look after the Department of Information? I’m here on behalf of Public Administration and Economics Management to seek some fairness~~~”
He wasn’t dumb, knowing he had to engage Su Huai in conversation now and lift himself up in the process.
Wu Tianyou felt as bad as if he had eaten shit.
It’s one thing to be the class monitor, but Deputy Secretary-General… Why him?!
The new students who had just joined university were already concerned about these things, and Gou King was particularly unable to accept the fact that Su Huai was doing much better than him.
Su Huai waved his hands with a smile: “I’m just there in name in the student council, of course I have to prioritize my own class first.”
Bai Huitian and the others immediately started chirping in protest at Su Huai.
“Uncle Zhang, you’ve kept it well hidden!”
“Right, such good news, why didn’t you mention a word to us?”
“Are you afraid we’d come to you for backdoor deals?”
Chen Nuanhan looked deeply at Su Huai and suddenly said with profound meaning, “Su Huai, reaching the end point of an average student on the first day of school, you’re really amazing! Silent but deadly…”
Wu Tianyou became even more agitated, his face turning green as he huffed.
Damn Su Huai, why do all the good things happen to you?
That’s not right…
The money for your position was TM my money!
As this thought suddenly hit him, Wu Tianyou felt his heart cramp with pain, and a strange and intense anguish welled up inside him.
Nuannuan, it’s one thing for others, but how can you join in praising him?
Don’t you realize how much I’ve contributed to this?
Chu Changkuo was feeling much the same, regretting so much he wanted to slap his thighs.
Shoot!
I went overboard!
I meant to compliment Su Huai, but I hadn’t intended for Chen Nuanhan to admire that damn guy too!
Two pairs of eyes filled with hidden hostility jabbed over, making Su Huai want to laugh.
This is interesting, Chen Nuanhan, you know how to play this game too?
Well then, bring it on!
Let’s hurt each other!
Su Huai grabbed Chu Changkuo and pushed him forward, exuding enthusiasm as he began, “Nuannuan, Tianyou, let me formally introduce you to my roommate…”
What?!
Wu Tianyou was dumbfounded.
What’s wrong with you? People were asking you about the plum juice, and you go introducing someone out of the blue?!
But not only did Gou Huai introduce him, but he also spent quite some time raving about Mr. Chu.
“Chu Changkuo, from Class 2 of Public Administration, a local from the Capital City, his family runs a big business, but he’s not pretentious at all. He is extremely generous and enthusiastic, and he never lets the dorm room run out of good smokes, drinks, or food…”
When Chu Changkuo was first dragged over by Su Huai, he was a bit nervous, afraid that he might hear some mockery coming from this jerk, like “getting punished for drinking” or “going for a dump without toilet paper.”
But then, when Su Huai’s compliments came out…
Holy shit!
Mr. Huai, you’re so right!
Behind closed doors, he can be a bit mean when joking around, but in public, he truly gives face!
I’m really… I’m gonna cry!
Chu Changkuo floated on air from the praise, feeling a rush of warm blood to his head, and made a huge vow in his heart: Wait for me, Huai, I’ll stock up on all sorts of food, drinks, good smokes, and booze, and make sure you’re treated comfortably!
Last night, during the casual chat, he also heard Sao Ji and Xia Yu mention briefly, pondering why Su Huai didn’t like Chen Nuanhan.
He didn’t believe it at that time, and scoffed at the idea, but now, seeing this, could it be true?
In that case…
From now on, you’re my brother, my real brother!
“Huai, don’t mention it, you’re too polite…”
Chu Changkuo quickly waved his hands in modesty, then eagerly looked at Su Huai with expectant eyes, waiting for him to introduce Chen Nuanhan.
Su Huai didn’t disappoint the young master. He truly delivered!
“Chen Nuanhan, my high school classmate, the freshman beauty everyone’s talking about online, beautiful and kind-hearted…”
Chu Changkuo didn’t hear the rest of it.
With maximum restraint, he didn’t glance below Chen Nuanhan’s face, but looked into her eyes, nodding seriously.
“Hello, when Huai makes jokes, he calls me Changkuo… You are indeed very beautiful, a deserved title of campus beauty.”
Just a simple greeting filled him with such intense joy that his scalp tingled, and he went wild imagining scenarios in his mind.
I’m talking to Chen Nuanhan!
Did I do well?
Wasn’t I especially gentlemanly, elegant, and sophisticated?!
Just as he was feeling smug, Su Huai suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, chuckling with a joke, “I see now, you don’t look for me early or late, just waiting for the right moment now, aren’t you?”
“Uh… Haha… No, no…”
Chu Changkuo’s thoughts were exposed, and he felt a bit mortified but was also very grateful for Su Huai’s assist.
Mr. Huai, I cannot thank you enough!
Yet, Chen Nuanhan was grinding her teeth in hatred.
There were undertones in Su Huai’s introduction that any clever girl would understand immediately, coupled with the gratitude that Chu Changkuo was showing… Could the answer be any clearer?
And what infuriated her was Su Huai’s attitude.
Not once but twice!
You might not like me, which I can accept, but why keep giving others opportunities again and again with this shady operation?!
And if you didn’t expose it, I could have pretended not to notice that he likes me.
And here you are, roasting me on the fire again?!
She struggled to maintain a smile while clenching her fists in silence.
I can’t blow up, there are too many people here, I have to hold back…
A hint of a wicked smile flashed in Gou Huai’s eyes as he turned his head to introduce Wu Tianyou.
“My high school alumnus, a fashion icon, Wu Tianyou. Only three of us from the same year went to Capital Normal University, both of them in the same class and me next door, which is truly a remarkable fate…”
This remark instantly chilled Chu Changkuo’s look, and from deep down, he began to dislike that smirking, brazen-faced pretty-boy opposite him.
Fate?
Do you deserve it?!
What a coincidence, Wu Tianyou felt the same way.
Understated scumbag, pretending for what?!
Why are you looking at your dad? Wanna try me?!
No matter how harmonious the relationship between Su Huai and Chen Nuanhan was, it never really put pressure on Wu Tianyou.
In his eyes, Su Huai’s looks, dress, family background, and temperament didn’t come close to competing with him, and Chen Nuanhan wasn’t blind.
But Chu Changkuo was different; this guy was clearly a formidable rival.
In an instant, sparks seemed to fly in their eyes, and during the few seconds their gazes locked, the air seemed to carry a whiff of something burning.
