Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 780: Actually Refused?

Gu Yan had a premonition that her recent strangeness might be connected to Ji Mu’s injury!

Upon hearing his sister mention going to the hospital, Gu Yu, who hadn’t finished his meal, wiped his mouth and immediately said, "Xiaoyan, I was just about to visit Ji Mu as well, let’s go together."

Gu Yan didn’t think much, but once on the aircraft, she said with some worry, "Little brother, Ji Mu will be okay, right? Have they found out who did this yet?"

"Not yet."

"I thought the war was nearly won, how could such a thing suddenly happen."

Gu Yu glanced at his sister and couldn’t hold back. He was about to suggest she keep her distance from Jiang Huai when Gu Yan’s communicator rang.

Gu Yan answered the call, and with a bit of apology in her voice, she said, "Sorry, Jiang Huai, I can’t go to the library with you today. I need to visit Ji Mu at the hospital."

"Has Ji Mu woken up yet?"

"Not yet."

"Speaking of which, I should go see him too, then we can come back together."

"...All right."

As Gu Yan ended the call, Gu Yu spoke with some incomprehension, "Xiaoyan, don’t you feel something is off with Jiang Huai? Isn’t he a little too concerned about whether Ji Mu is okay? As far as I know, there isn’t such a good relationship between Plantmen and Insectoids, right?"

"Also, isn’t he a little too... with you?"

Gu Yan lifted her head and said earnestly, "Jiang Huai confessed to me. Although I don’t dislike him, Mom is right, I haven’t ended things with Bai Li, so I can’t easily agree to someone else. Today, I was actually going to reject Jiang Huai, and I think it’s better to do this kind of thing face to face."

"So are you going to break up with Bai Li?"

"Perhaps, but he’s gone to war. I can’t distract him now, I’ll wait for him to come back."

Seeing his sister’s conflicted look, Gu Yu felt a twinge of sympathy. He reached out to stroke her long hair and said, "Falling in love really is troublesome, which is why I plan to dedicate my life to medicine."

Gu Yan couldn’t help but laugh, "Little brother, really? Don’t speak too soon, who knows, one day you might meet someone you like. Then, you’ll find yourself unable to control your heart."

"Xiaoyan, you used to say you felt that way about Bai Li."

"I..."

Gu Yan was stunned. Had she really felt that way about Bai Li before?

Logically, such emotions should be engraved in one’s heart, yet why could she hardly remember, and even subconsciously, why did her feelings for Bai Li start to fade?

She had been quite uncomfortable recently, appearing as though nothing was wrong, but suffering from headaches at midnight.

It was as if something was tugging at her memory.

Seeing his sister holding her head in discomfort, Gu Yu quickly said, "Xiaoyan, if it’s too painful, don’t think about it anymore. After all, once you talk to Bai Li in person, you might figure out what’s been troubling you lately."

"Yeah, I hope the war ends soon."

Gu Yu stopped short of saying what was on his mind.

In fact, Bai Li would return before the war was over; to be precise, Bai Li would be back in a few hours.

At that time, it would be quite the battlefield!

The siblings arrived at the hospital, only to learn that Ji Mu still hadn’t woken up. After merely looking at him through the glass, they left.

Just then, they ran into Jiang Huai and a few other students on their way in.

Because of Ji Mu’s special condition, no one could get close; they could only glance at him from a distance.

Seeing that Ji Mu’s eyes were still tightly shut, Jiang Huai let out a sigh of relief.

Ji Mu, who could never wake up, was no different from being dead. Now, all he needed was for Gu Yan to agree to be his girlfriend!

He said gently, "Xiaoyan, let’s not disturb Ji Mu anymore. Let’s go back to school together, you have classes in the afternoon, don’t you?"

"Yes. Also, I’ll give you the answer to the question you asked earlier."

Jiang Huai was slightly excited; he could feel Gu Yan growing increasingly fond of him, and what was even better was that Bai Li was never around her. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Given time, he was sure he could replace Bai Li.

But now, there was an urgency. Gu Chen was returning, and apparently, the Insect God seemed to be interested in Gu Yan as well...

For some reason, whenever Jiang Huai thought of this Insect God, his thoughts would pause for a moment, but then he would come to terms with it quickly.

Because he had heard from his father that Lord Insect God was different from all of them; he was immortal and possessed powerful superpowers.

That other member of the Insect Clan had been turned into a blood mist in an instant by the Insect God.

Although it was later confirmed that this terrifying act could only be done to their own kind, it was still fearsome enough!

How else would one earn the title Insect God?

So, if the Insect God was coming back, it was likely that Bai Li would return with him, right?

The Insect God was backing Bai Li, wasn’t he?

Gu Yan nodded, agreeing to Jiang Huai’s suggestion, and the two walked out together, followed quickly by a mermaid.

Jiang Huai was taken aback for a moment and then looked at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu: "What, can’t I go back to school as well?"

"Of course, you can."

Jiang Huai smiled slightly, not saying much. Gu Yu, on the other hand, sneakily drank down a vial of liquid.

The three of them returned to school in the flying vehicle in silence. Jiang Huai had thought that once they reached the school, Gu Yu would head to his laboratory, but wherever he and Gu Yan went, Gu Yu followed!

"Xiaoyan, it’s not quite appropriate for your brother to listen in on our conversation, is it?"

Gu Yan also felt a bit awkward. She looked at her elder brother, who said earnestly, "Xiaoyan, have you forgotten that we are twins? We were once together in a mermaid egg, we should be the closest two people in the world. What, are you tired of your brother now?"

"Brother, I’m not."

"Hmm, whatever it is, speak quickly. Once you’re done, come with me to the lab; I remember the results of the last test I did for you are out."

Gu Yan was startled and wanted to ask about the test results, but she saw her brother wink at her.

After all, they were twins; they still had a telepathic connection. Gu Yan knew her brother must have something important to tell her, and as for what she had to say to Jiang Huai... letting her brother know wouldn’t hurt.

She nodded, turned to Jiang Huai, who was slightly frowning, and said, "Jiang Huai, I’m sorry, but I currently have a boyfriend, so I can’t agree to be your girlfriend at this time."

Refused?

Jiang Huai caught a particular phrase and hastily said, "Xiaoyan, when you say you ’temporarily can’t’, is it because of Bai Li? Didn’t you say you no longer have feelings for him?"

Hearing this, Gu Yu immediately said, "Hey hey hey, what’s the deal with you, Jiang Huai? You look all decent, but you try to steal someone’s girl while Bai Li is off at war? What, did you attack Ji Mu because he was getting in your way of hitting on Bai Li?"
