Moving On from the Tsundere, I Choose the Perfect Sweetheart

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Gu Yifan Got Rejected? Han Ning Cried

Seeing Su Qinghe shake her head again, Gu Yifan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Su Qinghe, however, tilted her head up to look at him and said softly and seriously, ”I know about what happened between you and her...”

”No, there’s nothing between Han Ning and me anymore!”

Gu Yifan said with a frown.

After hearing this, Su Qinghe just gently shook her head again. ”I believe you. It’s just... I know you’re not ready in your heart yet. I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”

”Er...”

For a moment, Gu Yifan had no idea what to say!

’It’s all fun and games to be cruel for a moment, but winning her back is a trip to the crematorium! It’s over! Now I’m really screwed!’

After a moment of silence, Gu Yifan looked up at her and said, ”What if I’m never ready?”

Su Qinghe paused. She looked up, forcing a smile, and said to Gu Yifan, ”I... It’s okay. I’m fine. I can wait for you. I can wait until you’ve thought things through and you’re ready. I can.”

Hearing this, Gu Yifan’s heart clenched. Looking at this sweet, silly girl before him, he felt a growing ache in his chest.

After another moment of silence, Gu Yifan asked, ”Aren’t you afraid that if you don’t say yes to me now, I might fall for someone else later?”

The smile on Su Qinghe’s face faltered slightly, and she lowered her head in silence.

After a long moment.

She finally looked up at Gu Yifan, her eyes slightly red. ”I’m afraid... But I don’t want you to have regrets later.”

At this, Gu Yifan couldn’t hold back his emotions any longer.

’This...’

’How could anyone be this foolishly selfless?’

’Every word she says is about me, every sentence is for my sake. She never thinks about herself!’

Sigh...

’What a silly Hanhan.’

He stared at Su Qinghe for a long time before asking softly, ”Can I hug you?”

Su Qinghe froze for a second, then her face turned a faint red, and she nodded.

”Mhm.”

Gu Yifan said no more. He reached out and gently pulled the girl before him into his arms.

Feeling the warmth of Gu Yifan’s embrace, Su Qinghe suddenly didn’t feel so sad anymore.

”Su Hanhan,”

Gu Yifan said.

”Mmm~”

Su Qinghe responded softly.

”So, does this mean you’ve rejected me?” Gu Yifan asked again.

”Huh?” Su Qinghe was stunned for a moment. When she understood, she didn’t know what to say and could only remain silent.

Seeing her silence, Gu Yifan spoke again, ”Then when do you plan on accepting me?”

”I...”

Su Qinghe’s mouth opened slightly, but she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing her silence, Gu Yifan felt a little helpless. After a thought, he said, ”Alright, I understand what you mean.”

As he spoke, a bitter expression crossed his face!

’Well, damn!’

’To think that my first confession in this life would be rejected again!’

’But I guess I brought this on myself!’

”Sigh~”

He sighed lightly and shook his head in self-mockery.

Seeing him sigh, Su Qinghe quickly said in a small voice, ”That’s not it... I just want you to think it through... I...”

But before she could finish, Gu Yifan interrupted her. ”Alright, you don’t have to say it. I know!”

”Be good. Don’t move. I just want to hold you.”

”Oh, okay.”

Seeing this, Su Qinghe didn’t say anything more and just nodded obediently.

Although they hadn’t officially confirmed their relationship, Su Qinghe now knew that she held a place in Gu Yifan’s heart!

That was enough!

As for making things official, she wanted to wait... wait until Gu Yifan had truly thought it through and was saying these things from the bottom of his heart, willingly, not just on impulse because of what his parents had said.

She didn’t want them to get together because of outside pressure. She didn’t want Gu Yifan to regret it later, and she didn’t want their relationship to be tainted by even a hint of resentment because of this.

More importantly, she believed in Gu Yifan and didn’t want to put too much pressure on him!

As long as he had her in his heart, and she could always be by his side, that’s all that mattered.

This thought had taken root the moment Gu Yifan had thrown caution to the wind and fallen down the stairs to save her!

If Gu Yifan knew what she was thinking right now, his heart would probably ache even more!

How could there be such a fool in this world!

As for Gu Yifan, what he was thinking was that this Hanhan of his was too insecure!

Since that was the case, he decided he would plan a formal, public confession later on—one that would give her all the security she needed!

...

Just as the two of them were holding each other, listening to each other’s heartbeats and enjoying this beautiful moment,

all the third-year high school class group chats exploded.

There was only one reason!

The college entrance exam scores were out!

Many who had gotten their ideal scores were excitedly sharing the news in the chats!

Meanwhile, the students who hadn’t done so well were feeling dejected!

A single exam, holding the hearts of countless families and parents in its grip!

...

「Cuihu District, Building 19, Unit 8, Apartment 906.」

Han Jianzhang saw his daughter walk out of the study, looking utterly dejected, and his heart sank!

”Xiaoning’er, are the scores out? What did you get? What’s your score?” he asked nervously.

Ye Wanqing also looked at her daughter with a tense expression!

That’s right!

It was just past midnight, and the couple was incredibly nervous. They didn’t want to pressure their daughter by asking, so they could only sit silently in the living room, watching TV to hide their anxiety!

When Han Ning saw her mom and dad looking at her, her eyes immediately turned red.

This...

This sudden turn of events made the couple panic.

After exchanging a look, Ye Wanqing hurried forward to comfort her. ”Did you do poorly, sweetie? There, there, it’s okay. The college entrance exam is an indispensable part of life, but it’s not everything. As long as we tried our best, gave it our all...”

Before she could finish, she heard Han Ning say through her sobs, ”638.”

???

Ye Wanqing was stunned. She looked at her daughter and said, a little uncertainly, ”Xiaoning’er, what score did you just say?”

”638,” Han Ning repeated, her head lowered.

Ye Wanqing: ”...”

She gave her daughter a speechless look. ”Wait, Xiaoning’er, isn’t that your usual score? It’s even a few points higher!”

”It is!”

”But I can’t go to the same university as Gu Yifan anymore!”

”WAAAAH...”

Han Ning’s nose tingled, and she burst into aggrieved tears.

Ye Wanqing: ”...-_-||”

Han Jianzhang: ”...-_-||”

Hold on!

How did this get dragged back to Gu Yifan?!

The couple exchanged a look, both of them completely baffled.

They couldn’t quite understand what their daughter was saying!

”Wait... hold on!” Ye Wanqing said.

[”Where’s my husband?” If Gu Yifan had been there, he would have definitely blurted out those words as a conditioned reflex.]

”No, wait, Xiaoning’er, did that Gu Yifan kid bomb his exam?” Ye Wanqing asked, puzzled.

”No.”

Han Ning said through her tears, her small face scrunched up, ”He did really well. A perfect score...”

Ye Wanqing: ”...”
