Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 559 What’s Wrong with Being Obsessed with Looks
The signal that had been blocked by the Insect God was restored and Xiaoyan also fell into a deep sleep.
The next day was the day to go to school, and although Su Wan really wanted to send her daughter and son, she was rejected by the kids.
Gu Yu: "Mom, we’re already so big, you don’t need to take us."
Su Wan: "I actually wanted to send Xiaoyan. I’m very confident about you."
Gu Yu: "..."
Xiaoyan was laughing on the side, her flowers trembling with mirth as she watched her older brother put on a show of a live fish changing its face. Hmm, she’s truly a drama queen fish.
Gu Yu pretended to sob, "Mom, do you not love me anymore? Wuu wuu wuu, I’m such a pitiful fish!"
Su Wan was also teasing her own son, loving both her children equally. And as for spoiling Xiaoyan, their family of four was completely harmonious and unanimous on this matter.
In the end, Su Wan clapped her hands and said, "Alright, stop the performance. You two go to school, but Xiaoyu, take good care of your little sister at school, alright?"
"Of course!" Gu Yu’s tears vanished in an instant.
In the end, Su Wan watched her son and daughter board the flying device and leave home.
Gu Jue came from behind, tying his tie as he said, "Wanwan, you can rest easy now. The kids are all grown up."
Su Wan sighed, "Time flies so fast. I still remember that time when you went missing, and then Xiaoyu and Xiaoyan hatched. Xiaoyan was so timid, hiding behind Xiaoyu like that."
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, both children were walking through the gates of Empire University, just like Su Wan did back in the day.
Gu Jue nodded, "Yes, time does fly."
Su Wan: "You have to go to the military department too, right? Let’s go together."
"Okay."
In recent years, the commanders hadn’t had it too hard, spending most of their time in office at the military department since there was no war. But these past few days, many of them had been busy.
The Plantmen had already stirred up some small-scale conflicts in many places, and although the people of Landis Star weren’t in any danger, it seemed that the peace of the universe was about to be broken by someone.
Gu Jue and Su Wan went to the military department together in a flying device, while on the other side, Gu Yu and Gu Yan just landed at the gate of Empire University in their flying device.
Because today was the first day of school, the university gate was bustling with activity. However, Gu Yan and Gu Yu were just too famous. As soon as the siblings alighted, many people greeted them.
After all, on Landis Star, you might not know anyone else, but it’s impossible not to know the family of five that includes Commander Gu and Commander Su!
Not to mention the status and identity of Gu Jue and Su Wan, and of Gu Chen, just the striking looks of this family of five were enough to defy the heavens!
It was hard to ignore the presence of Gu Yu and Gu Yan as soon as they appeared.
Some people approached enthusiastically to greet them, but others stood aside and couldn’t help sneering.
"Tch, they’re just riding on their parents’ coattails!" a red-haired girl said disdainfully.
Another girl whispered, "But Gu Yu is so handsome! He’s been voted the most handsome diamond bachelor of the Mermaid Clan!"
The red-haired girl was speechless, "You’re just shallow, only looking at the face!"
"What’s wrong with being a face-connoisseur? If you marry someone really ugly in the future, won’t you wake up every day thinking the nightmare isn’t over yet?"
The two people spoke in hushed voices and stood a bit far from each other.
Gu Yan raised her head thoughtfully and glanced in this direction; noticing her expression change, Gu Yu asked, "Xiaoyan, what’s wrong?"
"Oh, it’s nothing, second brother, let’s hurry to our own Department to register."
"I’ll take you to the Department of Humanities and History first."
Gu Yan couldn’t win against her big brother and eventually let him have his way, but he was really too handsome. As they walked toward the Department of Humanities and History, those girls watched Gu Yu with unblinking eyes.
After all, this major was dominated by girls, and most of them were pure humans without superpowers. Beastmen had better physical and spiritual power, so they didn’t enroll in this arts major.
Furthermore, other majors at Empire University had certain requirements for physical and spiritual power... So, it’s no wonder that this major had so many girls.
Gu Yu was originally concerned about his sister, but seeing the covetous gazes of the female classmates, he suddenly missed the anatomy teacher at the medical school terribly. He couldn’t stay any longer, but still, he reminded his sister, "Mom said you could have a dormitory on campus, and you can switch between staying there and at home."
The Commander’s mansion was not too far from Empire University, and commuting daily by flyer was entirely possible, but Su Wan was worried that her daughter would grow apart from her classmates if separated for too long. It seemed being with peers was indeed better.
While Su Wan was concerned about her daughter, she also didn’t want her daughter to be isolated by her classmates.
"Yeah, I know."
"Alright, I’m off to the medical school. After you finish registering and settling in, contact me through the brain-computer interface."
"Will do."
Big brother was great in every way, just a bit long-winded. It was such a relief when he finally left, Gu Yan thought as she exhaled.
But as soon as Gu Yu left, those girls swarmed around her, eagerly saying, "You must be Gu Yan, right? Ah, you’re even prettier than on the Star Web. That was your little brother Gu Yu just now? He’s even handsomer than his pictures on the Star Web!"
A twitch formed at the corner of Gu Yan’s mouth. Your focus is all on the latter part, isn’t it?
Since she was a child, she knew her two older brothers were especially popular with girls. Because the eldest had to go to the Imperial Palace, he was a bit more serious, whereas her younger brother had the natural charm of the Mermaid Clan, attracting many girls’ affection.
But only Gu Yan knew that her little brother’s love for cooking and dissecting surpassed his fondness for pretty young ladies.
The female students were all from the same institute but in different majors and years. They seemed quite easy to get along with, and as Gu Yan didn’t usually have many girls her age to hang out with, she found the experience quite fresh and patiently answered the girls’ questions.
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
"All crowding here, how is anyone supposed to register?"
The girl with fiery red curls and long legs in a mini skirt was Luo Xixi, the granddaughter of Queen Luo Manya’s uncle. To this day, the Luo Family held a high status on Landis Star and within the Imperial Family, and the family had produced many talents.
Among their generation, Luo Xixi and Gu Yan were the same age. Almost all her life, Luo Xixi had listened to her family praise Gu Yan, which made her dislike Gu Yan from a very young age!
Once, unable to hold back, Luo Xixi lashed out at her mother, asking why she always praised someone else’s daughter. Her mother replied that Gu Yan’s father was Commander Gu, the Emperor Gu Zilan’s own uncle and the next Emperor Gu Chen’s own younger sister—making her the most noble princess on the entire Landis Star.
Luo Xixi argued, wasn’t Gu Ruanruan the most noble princess of Landis Star?
Then her mother told her that the next Emperor would be Gu Chen.
