FYN Chapter 15 My Foolish Little Cousin
Chapter 15 My Foolish Little Cousin
Gu Zhibei slept very comfortably, and nothing bad happened in his dream.
It's really not easy for a boy his age.
If you don't expend extra energy during the day, you're more likely to toss and turn and have trouble sleeping at night.
Or you might use physically demanding methods to fall asleep before bed, leaving you feeling unwell the next morning.
So you either have to be tired or sleepy, you have to choose one, unless you're a naturally born baby who falls asleep the moment your head hits the pillow.
Gu Zhibei turned off the alarm clock that rang two minutes later; this is a known superpower.
After a quick wash and dressing, he grabbed the bags of toast and breakfast milk piled up in the living room and went out.
Jiang Youyu's breakfast and lunch are delivered by a specially hired auntie, so he doesn't have to worry about them.
However, the girl always complained in private that the monthly expenditure of 2,800 yuan was completely unnecessary, and that she could live well just by eating some bread and water.
But if that happens, when Mom comes back, she'll find that her best friend's last daughter has turned into dried fish.
"Does this count as raising a daughter ahead of time? It doesn't seem to make much difference."
Gu Zhibei threw the empty packaging into the trash can and strode into the school.
It's morning reading time now, but morning reading for senior high school students isn't so rigid; as long as they're studying, that's fine.
When he arrived at the classroom, there were already several people standing in the corridor reciting their lessons.
One of the cute girls with a round face waved at him.
This is He Jiajia, a student from the second class next door. She is also the daughter of Gu Zhibei's second aunt, and is younger than him, so she is considered his cousin.
These older generation relatives actually had little contact by his father's generation, since those two were always traveling abroad and their own son was like something out of a trash can.
However, Gu Zhibei and He Jiajia have a surprisingly good relationship; they are more like close friends than cousins.
"Gu Zhibei, wait for me a moment!"
After shouting, He Jiajia rushed into the classroom, then rushed back out and dragged him to a corner in the hallway.
She's clearly a cute-looking girl, but her behavior is like that of a reckless young calf.
She handed something to me.
Gu Zhibei took it and saw that it was a pink envelope.
"Cousin, are you so thirsty that you're going to make a move on your own cousin?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" He Jiajia punched him without hesitation.
Seeing someone looking in their direction, she immediately realized she was making a bit too much noise and quickly lowered her voice:
"Do you know who this letter is for!"
"..."
Gu Zhibei took the envelope; it was quite formal, with a line of delicate handwriting written on it.
[To be opened by Shen Wenyu]
It was Xiaoyu, one of his two best friends, who had infiltrated the girls' group as a spy.
Xiaoyu is fair-skinned and has a gentle and delicate personality. She gets along well with everyone, and girls often like to communicate with boys like her.
However, compared to ambiguous relationships between opposite sexes, Shen Wenyu's relationships with girls are often more like same-sex friendships.
He Jiajia is the only girl who openly expresses her feelings for him.
There were a few before, but it's said that He Jiajia got rid of them.
"Cousin, cousin, please!"
Seeing that he didn't agree for a long time, He Jiajia had no choice but to use her ultimate weapon.
"I'll treat you to meals for one...two weeks!"
It has to be said that for a high school student, this is no different from Mei Yangyang lying in front of Fei Yangyang, at his mercy.
Gu Zhibei held the envelope, neither agreeing nor refusing, but instead asked:
Do you know why he's been avoiding you?
He Jiajia bit her lower lip:
"He... doesn't like me?"
"I've never seen him actually dislike you," Gu Zhibei thought to himself.
As a friend, he knew very well why Shen Wenyu was distancing herself from her.
After graduating from high school, Xiaoyu will move abroad with her family.
For people with this kind of personality, dating is not as simple as just kissing and saying sweet nothings.
"Why is that?!" He Jiajia asked urgently.
Gu Zhibei shook his head: "Some things are only for the person involved to say."
The little girl was clearly holding her breath; her cute round face turned into a little bun.
She stomped her foot in annoyance:
"You all like to hide things, why don't you just speak openly and honestly?"
Why are you including me? I would tell you even if you asked me what color underwear I was wearing today.
"Who wants to ask you about that!"
He Jiajia punched him again and rolled her eyes.
"Putting everything else aside, I think the person who loves to hide the most in the whole world is you, Gu Zhibei!"
"I'm quite good at hiding my study materials."
He Jiajia, however, was completely unaffected by him and continued talking to herself:
"You know, a guy who's handsome, gets good grades, doesn't have any weird fetishes, and has girls chasing after him since he was little, how come he's never been in a relationship even once?"
"This kind of person is either sexually frigid, has a questionable sexual orientation, or is hiding something!"
"Aren't you right?"
Gu Zhibei smiled and said, "What about the girls? Isn't Pei Qingning in your class much more extreme than me?"
"Pei Qingning...how can she be the same as us?"
"What's the difference? Aren't they all students?"
Gu Zhibei calmly controlled the conversation.
He knew that his little cousin was Pei Qingning's deskmate, so she might have some important information about her.
Whoever controls the information controls the initiative in the "war".
Gu Zhibei knew very well that the reason Pei Qingning was able to suppress him and take the initiative was because he knew too little about her!
My silly little cousin, hurry up and tell me all her weaknesses!
As he expected, He Jiajia didn't even hesitate and started rambling on in the direction he had given her:
"I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else... Pei Qingning really is that kind of eccentric young lady."
"When we first became deskmates, I lost my meal card and wanted to borrow hers for lunch. Guess what happened?"
"She absolutely refused to lend me the money, giving off a... well, stingy and miserly vibe. How could a young lady of high society have that kind of attitude?"
"As soon as she heard I wanted to borrow my meal card, she immediately looked at me suspiciously, as if I were there to rob her..."
"But she's not that kind of person, because she directly transferred 1,000 yuan to me, basically saying she wanted to treat me to lunch... Of course, I didn't accept it; how could I dare accept so much money!"
Stingy yet generous?
Gu Zhibei silently noted this down.
Although no useful information was obtained from the description, it is always beneficial to learn more about the other party.
He then asked, "Anything else?"
"...Why are you suddenly so concerned about Pei Qingning?" He Jiajia asked with a suspicious expression.
Gu Zhibei immediately retorted, "Think about it yourself, who exactly has been talking about her?"
My little cousin thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
She quickly put the matter out of her mind:
So, are you going to help me or not?
"Of course I'll help. It's not like it's the first time I've helped you deliver a message."
Gu Zhibei waved casually, bidding farewell to his little cousin who had been completely drained of her value.
However, just as he passed the door of Class Two, a slender figure emerged from the classroom and blocked his way.
The girl tilted her head slightly, and in her clear black and white eyes, it seemed that some unknown emotion was brewing.
Gu Zhibei's heart skipped a beat.
What is she going to do?
