Getting Outsmarted By The CEO

Consequently, this proposal directly led to the two of them to appear in the cafeteria for four consecutive days, and the forum was rife with trending related hashtags every day—

 

#Two exchange student eating buns#

#They’re having a plain meal today, only soy milk and oil sticks.
Could I experience the same magical romance if I ate the same thing?#

#That pair of exchange students are here at the cafeteria againnnnnnn I’m going to take a lot of sneak shots#

#Isn’t that pair of couples going to the cafeteria every day this week? I’m have a feeling that there are more people having breakfast this week, hahahahaha (I mean me)#…

 

How gratifying it felt that the initial title of “the two exchange students” morphed into “the pair of exchange students”.

 

Then Friday arrived.

 

There were only afternoon classes on Friday, so they did not meet up for breakfast together.
Ruan An’an took a nap before the class and arrived early to give herself some mental preparation.

 

Ruan An’an never forgot about the conversation she previously had with Yin Yuan before they got drunk in Vaa that night.
She also replayed the voice notes Gu Jue sent hundreds of times within that week.
She even remembered every detail of the breakfasts they had together this week.
All the clues from prior pointed towards one conclusion;

 

——Perky butt was definitely interested in her.

 

Ruan An’an pondered for several days.
Although she felt that what she had come up with was still a bad idea, it would still be able to have some effects and imply something to him.
In the end, she decided to go with it.

 

Later, the protagonist entered the classroom and she immediately reorganized her plan in her head as she laid her eyes on him.

 

She was told that people would slowly get immune to beauty, for the initial excitement would wane after some time no matter how good-looking one was.

 

Ruan An’an now highly doubted whether this theory still held water.

 

Why don’t I ever get tired of this person’s face?

Why is it still as amazing as the first time?

 

Ruan An’an greeted him, feigning calmness, and then blurted without any thoughts, “I find that you seem to like this shirt.”

 

“Huh?” Gu Jue was still leaning against the wall and lightly tugged his collar.
The action appeared to be inexplicably appealing.
“This one?”

 

Ruan An’an nodded.

 

He was wearing the same white shirt when she first met him.
It was inexplicable that he could look so handsome in such a simple shirt.

 

Gu Jue smiled.
He did not refute nor affirm the statement, but took out a piece of candy from his pocket and tossed it on Ruan An’an’s table, “For today.”

 

Ruan An’an was also used to this routine.

 

After the last mint candy incident, Gu Jue began handing her a piece of candy every single day of various brands and flavors—all of which turned out to be delicious.

 

Today’s candy was strawberry flavored.

 

Ruan An’an popped the candy into her mouth and started the conversation according to her plan, “I just remembered… I had a friend before.”

 

Gu Jue was taken aback at first, but then he responded extremely cooperatively, “Well, what’s wrong?”

 

“She has a childhood sweetheart who grew up together with her.
The two were neighbors.
My friend realised that she liked him in the first year of junior high, but she never confessed – because the boy seemed to be interested in her too.
So she always thought that their feelings were mutual.”

 

“Then she didn’t go to the same senior high school as he did, and it didn’t take long for the boy to fall in love with someone else.”

 

“My friend always thought that the boy was in love with her, but in fact, the boy never was.”

 

“So later, when the boy said he only thought of her as a friend, she became angry and also sad…”
