Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards

Chapter 56: Chapter 55 Mr. Huai Becomes a Godfather

What’s called the art of language?!

Gou Huai’s performance right now was a perfect example of that art.

No one could find a shred of evidence, yet all three of them were provoked to the point of bristling with anger…

The atmosphere on the scene could be described as rather bizarre.

Su Huai, Chu Changkuo, Chen Nuanhan, Wu Tianyou, were clearly delineated into four distinct sides, facing each other in pairs.

Chen Nuanhan’s eyes were full of raging waves, angrily glaring at Su Huai, but she was clearly thinking and not just blindly furious.

The other two, however, were smirking without a trace of mirth in their eyes, filled with emotion.

Even though the tension didn’t last long, that sort of atmosphere was hard to endure.

In critical moments, it still needed Gou King to start things rolling.

“Yo, Lord Jing?”

His provocative voice rang like a charging horn, and Wu Tianyou amusingly stroked his chin, “The name sounds familiar, how very strange…”

Chu Changkuo’s heart skipped a beat.

Shit, could it be?

Such terrible luck?!

A trivial matter and yet everyone knows about it?

And indeed, unlucky as it was, before Chu Changkuo could figure out how to handle it, Wu Tianyou went straight for the kill.

“Aiyoh! I remember now! The new student in the School of Management drinking in the dorm and refusing to admit it, got a public reprimand on the first day of school, wasn’t it you, Mr. Chu?

As these words came out, everyone nearby turned to look at Chu Changkuo all at once, and the murmurings exploded suddenly.

“Whoa, so the reason our advisor suddenly called a class meeting was because of him?”

“Chu Changkuo… yeah, that’s the guy, the legend!”

“School of Management’s top dog, hahaha!”

Mr. Chu was both angry and anxious, his fists trembling uncontrollably, but Wu Tianyou’s infuriating voice continued.

“Much thanks to Mr. Chu, our School of Management had the longest military training in the entire school, basked in your ‘glory’! Damn it, while other squads got two breaks in one morning, we had to stand stiffly until 11:30, not a minute earlier… You were so intimidating when you confronted the teacher, but who did we offend to deserve this? Truly damn unlucky!”

Gou King had a slick way with words, and at this moment, the students from the e-commerce class looked at Chu Changkuo with all wrong sorts of expressions.

Emotions don’t need truth, only a vent.

The strange looks and the baseless accusations deeply wounded Mr. Chu’s heart.

Before, it was just his hands shaking, now his lips began to tremble too.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

Unable to bear the injustice, Mr. Chu roared in defense, “Why are you pinning every damn thing on me?!”

Wu Tianyou instantly retorted, “Lord of Capital City indeed has such grandeur… But could you please stay away from our formation? Everyone is quite fed up with you, can’t you see that?”

A direct hit! A fatal blow!

Chu Changkuo turned red-eyed and pale with ridicule, wishing he could rush at Wu Tianyou and smash him into pieces. But just as he was about to lose control over his emotions, suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder.

Before he could turn around, a warm voice reached his ears.

“Don’t bother with Wu Tianyou, he’s like a Crazy Dog. Old Chu, I don’t believe the harshness of military training is because of your mistake, and you shouldn’t take all that responsibility on yourself…”

Whimper… wah!

At that moment, Chu Changkuo truly experienced what extreme emotion felt like.

Really, he was so close to letting his tears fall out.

“Mr. Huai, I…”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing…”

Su Huai assumed a caring big brother demeanor, gently patting his shoulder, warming Changkuo’s entire heart.

Sss…

Chen Nuanhan watched this with her mouth agape, feeling like her head was about to explode.

Su Huai, you’re really a dog!

The whole scene probably only she realized something was off because she had seen this scenario before.

The last time Gou Huai pulled a stunt like this, he played the clever Wu Tianyou like a fool, and even now Wu Tianyou was unaware of Su Huai’s sinister intentions in helping him transfer majors.

My god…

Chen Nuanhan covered her mouth forcefully, screaming inside: What kind of demon spawn is this guy?!

By this time, Wu Tianyou was also fuming.

I finally provoked the idiot Chu Changkuo enough to break his defense, and then you come jumping in?!

Unfortunately, as Wu Tianyou was about to speak again in exasperation, Su Huai glanced over coldly, and his icy, knife-like gaze instantly quenched Gou King’s fire.

He wasn’t afraid of Chu Changkuo, but he was indeed afraid of Su Huai.

On the literary front, Su Huai had great connections with the faculty leaders and now he even had a Student Council position.

On the martial front, facing Gao and Er Gao, he had to look up at them, neck craned.

Neither literate nor martially capable, and even Nuannuan sided with Su Huai, the Gou King really had no options.

“Tch…”

Wu Tianyou could only grumble quietly, “What use is it to blame me? Everyone’s annoyed with him, it’s not because of me…”

Chu Changkuo suddenly lifted his head, looking at Su Huai with desperate eyes, his face full of expectation.

Brother, save me!

Su Huai nodded resolutely at him, “Don’t worry, my boy!”

Then he softly reminded, “The length of military training isn’t your fault. Of course, classmates are tired and overheated, so you should understand their irritability… Which is why I thought of making homemade plum juice, isn’t it?”

Holy shit, right!

Chu Changkuo’s eyes lit up, his heart bursting with excitement, and at once he thought of a way to redeem his reputation.

Plum juice!

A great opportunity to make a good impression!

“Classmates, whether or not it’s my fault that everyone is in this mess, I truly am sorry,”

Chu Changkuo willingly bowed his head to everyone, then with an expression full of shame but a desire to make amends, he spoke firmly:

“How about this, I’ll cover the cost of chilled plum drinks for the whole School of Management today. We still have time, please notify everyone individually, and I’ll go handle it with Huai right away! Huai, is that convenient for you?”

“What’s inconvenient about that?”

Su Huai nodded, feeling very relieved in his heart.

Kuokuo ah, you have some quick wits, you’re on the right path!

Su Huai had been looking for an excuse to give away the remaining plum drinks to the various classes of the School of Management, but doing so outright seemed a bit too showy, as if trying to grab attention.

Not good, not good.

He wasn’t afraid of others gossiping, but earning too much money would definitely invite various kinds of trouble, which really wasn’t necessary.

Now, it turned out well, someone took the initiative to offer~~~

Su Huai’s acting skills weren’t up to par; he was afraid he might burst into laughter, so he quickly straightened his face, putting on a look of trying his best to resolve the worry of this great young man.

“We’re short on time; I’ll have Er Gao accompany you to get the plum drinks. We can talk about the price later; that won’t be a problem, right?”

Chu Changkuo was overjoyed, “Definitely no problem! Huai bro, I won’t say much to thank you now, you’ll see how I perform later!”

He was serious.

In my life, Chu Changkuo has always been strong-willed, never owing anyone anything. I will repay even the smallest favor with a great splash!

Wu Tianyou’s eyes were almost popping out, completely dumbfounded.

No, how did it suddenly turn out like this?!

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became so anxious that he started hopping around.

“Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute! Our class doesn’t need you to treat! How did you get involved?”

But Chu Changkuo had a clever moment, adamantly stuck to his apology and wouldn’t back down, “I truly feel sorry for my classmates, and apologies should be more than just words, shouldn’t they? Please wait a little longer, I’ll be as quick as possible!”

Chu Changkuo didn’t bother to argue with Wu Tianyou, instead, he turned and ran towards the side entrance of the sports field.

Passing by the Public Management formation, he swung his arm with great spirit, “Boys, follow me! Let’s move the plum drinks!”

The followers behind him called out loudly, “Today, Chu is treating the whole School of Management to plum drinks. Public Management boys, don’t fall behind; we can’t let the Big Data class have all the glory!”

Look at that, he even knows the art of war!

The Public Management instructor approved on the spot. The girl who had come to deliver plum drinks earlier was so annoying—what does “Instructor Wang is sympathetic to your hard work” even mean?! Does it mean that the students I’m responsible for are less considerate than yours?!

And so, at the command, a dozen or so Public Management boys sprang out of their formation.

With such commotion, not only were all members of the School of Management alarmed, but the new students from nearby schools were also stirred.

They couldn’t see what was happening, but they could catch snippets of the news—

The top dog of the School of Management was spending his own money to buy homemade plum drinks for all the female students, with sugar, blood replenishment, ice cubes, and all. It was both a heat relief and delicious to drink.

Thus, a new conflict arose: Why do we only have lukewarm mineral water?

The temporary class leaders were sweating profusely as they explained, “The school supermarket’s freezer capacity is limited, and we really can’t chill that much in time; of course, there’ll be some cool and some not…”

It wasn’t long before the School of Management guys came back, each carrying a bucket of sour plum juice, and the atmosphere of envy and discontent had peaked.

Men do not resent having few, but resent unfairness, and how much more so for girls?

We want some too!

…

It seemed like the problem was perfectly resolved.

However, just when the School of Management became the object of envy and Chu Changkuo excitedly volunteered to lead, on the other side, director Su Huai encountered a new problem.

Chen Nuanhan had been idle, stewing with irritation while carefully observing Su Huai.

It was at a certain moment, when she suddenly stopped being angry, pursed her lips, a smile in her eyes.

When Chu Changkuo set off and Wu Tianyou hurriedly followed, leaving her side finally quiet, she leisurely stepped forward, coming close to Su Huai.

With a waft of her delicate fragrance, Gou Huai was immediately startled.

Chen Nuanhan might just be a little temptress steeped in shampoo and skin care products.

No matter the time, even after sweating a lot, she still smelled fragrant.

It wasn’t just a simple fragrance; inside the scent, there was a hint of sweat which crazily triggered the secretion of hormones.

Intellectually, Su Huai indeed didn’t like her as much anymore, but his body had its own ideas—a body under 20 was just too unreliable at crucial moments.

You useless bootlickers, ruining my reputation!

Mr. Huai was seething, but Chen Nuanhan kept closing in, scoffing as she spoke.

“Gou Dongxi, wasn’t once enough for you to play the same tricks, and you’re back for more?!”

Her hot breath sprayed on his face through her breathing, causing Gou Huai to shiver, numbing his hands and feet and making his blood run in reverse.

The idea that an experienced middle-aged reborn person could resist beauty through force of will alone was utterly false. At 35, Su Huai had abstained for a month, taking medicine and doing a bit of exercise, yet he would get dizzy at the sight of a woman’s bare legs on the street.

The only things that can truly resist the allure of beauty are the sage time and a non-functioning body.

But Su Huai was far too capable now, his Comprehensive Physique and health strength rocketingly improved by 9 points overnight, bringing him real and tangible strength but also short bursts of restlessness and loss of control.

Thus, for the first time since his rebirth, he showed signs of guilt in front of Chen Nuanhan.

Holding his breath, he recited mantras in his mind.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, I am the monk called One Lamp… the tube of a flashlight… damn it! The light of the flashlight.

Forcing his emotions to stabilize, Su Huai managed not to give anything away on the surface, but he really couldn’t think of an excuse to argue his way out.

“Ah? What do you mean?”

This perfunctory denial only bought him a little bit of time and did absolutely nothing to cover up the truth.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nuanhan didn’t press her advantage but instead gave a crafty smile.

“Want to watch those two bicker on and on, right? Just wait and see what I do!”

Fuck!

Chen Nuanhan, you’re not right!

Su Huai stared dumbfounded, feeling the little witch before him was nothing like the person he knew. His CPU, just upgraded to 78 points, started to clack noisily, almost ready to shatter.
