Moving On from the Tsundere, I Choose the Perfect Sweetheart

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Han Ning Attacks? The Loser Trio’s Misunderstanding

Hearing Peng Shaoqiang and the others, Gu Yifan looked up and shot them a speechless glance.

He suddenly realized that those three jackasses had gathered together at some point, ogling with relish and making running commentary.

But still!

’What do you mean, *I’m* the one who lucked out?’

’You make it sound like I’m some kind of ugly freak!’

’Fine!’

’I’m not going to stoop to the level of you three hopeless bachelors!’

Gu Yifan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at them before preparing to scroll down and look at Su Qinghe’s profile.

Just then.

”Hey...”

”Brother Fan!”

”Quick, look! The girl ranked third on this campus belle list is also from Mountain City! She’s from your hometown!”

”Quick, see if you know her!”

He Dongdong suddenly exclaimed.

”Hmm?”

Gu Yifan froze.

’Third on the campus belle list? From Mountain City?’

He curiously scrolled down the page on the phone, quickly reaching the third-place spot on the campus belle list.

But a single glance was enough to leave Gu Yifan completely dumbfounded.

There was no other reason.

It was simply because of the words displayed on the screen: Freshman Campus Belle List, Third Place: School of Foreign Languages—Han Ning!

[Han Ning: From Mountain City, formerly the campus belle of Mountain City First Middle School.

Looks: 96 points.

Personality: Icy and aloof, arrogant with a hint of cute softness. A proud little princess...

Notable Incidents: During high school, a boy once broke into the broadcasting room and used the school’s PA system to confess his feelings to her in front of all the teachers and students, only to be mercilessly rejected...]

Gu Yifan: ”...”

After reading that description, Gu Yifan was utterly speechless.

’Damn it!’

’Is she crazy?’

’Can someone please tell me?’

’Han Ning... why is she at Jinling University too!?’

’Damn it!’

’In my past life, didn’t that woman go to Shanghai Foreign Language College?!’

’I already went out of my way to avoid her, even passing on all the schools in Shanghai, and she fucking followed me to Jinling?!’

For a moment, Gu Yifan didn’t know what to say.

’Goddammit!’

’If he hadn’t seen this stupid campus belle ranking today, he truly would have had no idea Han Ning had come to Jinling University!’

No wonder that after the graduation dinner, Wu Xiaoyan had suddenly messaged him, asking if he knew which school Han Ning had applied to. She even said something about how Han Ning truly knew she was wrong and had made a huge sacrifice for him.

At the time, he just thought Wu Xiaoyan’s words were a bit strange, but he didn’t think much of it!

After all, based on his past life, Han Ning should have already been accepted by Shanghai Foreign Language College by then.

He’d planned for every possibility, but he never, ever expected this!

That girl Han Ning had actually come to Jinling University, and she was even on the same fucking campus as him...

”Brother Fan, Brother Fan...”

Just then, a voice pulled Gu Yifan from his thoughts and back to reality.

”Hmm?”

He saw Peng Shaoqiang, Wang Shouyi, and He Dongdong staring at him with bewildered expressions.

Gu Yifan paused, then glanced at the three of them, frowning as he said coolly, ”What is it?”

”Uh...”

Seeing that Gu Yifan’s mood seemed off, with a feeling like the calm before a storm.

The three of them were at a loss for a moment. None of them dared to speak, afraid they might inadvertently set Gu Yifan off.

”Hmm?”

Seeing them call his name only to clam up, Gu Yifan’s brow furrowed, his tone laced with impatience. ”If you have something to say, spit it out. You’re mumbling like a bunch of girls!”

This...

The three exchanged glances. Both Peng Shaoqiang and Wang Shouyi gave a slight shake of their heads.

Seeing this, He Dongdong looked helpless.

As Gu Yifan’s number one fan, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak. ”Brother Fan, uh... what happened just now? We were calling you for a while, but you didn’t answer.”

”And you don’t look so good. Are you feeling sick?”

”I’m fine.”

Gu Yifan glanced at him, his tone placid.

”Oh, okay.”

”By the way, Brother Fan, your phone was ringing just now...”

Seeing that Gu Yifan wasn’t angry, He Dongdong pointed to his pocket and reminded him in a quiet voice.

”Oh.”

Gu Yifan paused, then nodded.

He casually placed Wang Shouyi’s phone on the table and pulled his own phone out of his pocket to take a look.

He saw it was a call from his advisor—Professor Wang.

’He must need me for something.’ So he said to He Dongdong and the others, ”I’m full. Looks like Professor Wang needs me for something, so I’m heading out.”

With that, before the three could react, Gu Yifan stood up, took his tray, and left.

”...”

The three friends were stunned for a good while before they snapped out of it.

By the time they turned to look in Gu Yifan’s direction, he had already walked out of the cafeteria doors and disappeared into the crowd...

”Uh...”

Peng Shaoqiang and the other two looked at each other, completely baffled.

”So... what’s up with Old Fan?”

After a long silence, Peng Shaoqiang asked, looking puzzled.

”You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?!”

”I dunno either!”

”Maybe it’s because of that asshole who posted this freshman campus belle list on the school forum?”

Wang Shouyi mumbled after a long pause, his Guangxi accent unconsciously slipping out.

’Do all people from Guangxi like to call people assholes?’

Seeing his regional accent come out, Peng Shaoqiang glanced at him but didn’t say anything more.

It was just an accent, after all. Every place had one.

It wasn’t anything to make a big deal about!

”I think Young Master B has a point. Look at Sister-in-law Qinghe’s profile.”

He Dongdong suddenly said in a low voice.

As he spoke, he held up the phone with Su Qinghe’s profile for the other two to see.

First Place: School of Finance—Su Qinghe.

[Su Qinghe: From Mountain City (originally registered in Minnan Zhang City), formerly the campus belle of Mountain City First Middle School, nicknamed the ”Pauper Belle”!

Looks: 99 points.

Personality: (Reclusive?) Unconfirmed, unknown...

Notable Incidents: Entered Jinling University as the second-place scorer in the science track of the college entrance exam for Sichuan Province. She previously turned down a guaranteed admission offer from Qingbei, and after her exam scores were released, she still refused recruitment offers from Qingbei, resolutely choosing Jinling University. The specific reasons and circumstances are currently unknown...]

Note 1: [Suspected of attempting suicide by jumping from a building during high school? (Rumor, unconfirmed)]

Note 2: [Accompanied by a male student during registration on the first day of school, suspected to already have a boyfriend... (Unconfirmed)]

...

”This...”

After Peng Shaoqiang and Wang Shouyi finished reading, they were both completely shocked.

Just a moment ago, none of them had paid attention to the details on Su Qinghe’s profile, only giving it a quick glance to see that she was number one on the freshman campus belle list.

After all, Su Qinghe was Gu Yifan’s girlfriend, their ’Sister-in-law,’ and they felt it wasn’t right to scrutinize and comment on her the way they did with the other campus belles. That’s why they hadn’t looked closely.

But looking at it now!

The string of ’unconfirmed’ and ’suspected’ entries left them feeling dazed.

’Reclusive? Sister-in-law Qinghe was suspected of jumping off a building in high school... A suicide attempt?’

In that moment, they seemed to understand why Gu Yifan had reacted the way he did...
