Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Fan readily accepted Gu Chen’s offer and climbed into the car, closing her eyes to rest.
Gu Chen broached the topic, asking, “Your relationship with Song Yin is akin to that of enemies, isn’t it?”
“Don’t ask something you’ve already known,” Song Fan retorted impatiently.
“Don’t tell me you and your second uncle truly get along well?”
Gu Chen had grown accustomed to Song Fan’s sharp tongue, finding her directness rather comforting. There was no need for pretenses.
“Second Uncle and I have our power struggles, but your situation with your sister is different,” Gu Chen replied, turning to face her. “Song Yin must have done something to you.”
Song Fan once again admired Gu Chen’s keen observational skills but chose to evade the question this time. “I don’t wish to divulge my family matters to outsiders. Let’s leave it at that.”
Resuming her reclined position, Song Fan was bothered by the seat belt cutting across her body, causing discomfort. Gu Chen leaned over and remarked, “You can’t secure your seatbelt like that when you’re lying down.”
He then proceeded to unfasten Song Fan’s seatbelt, intending to refasten it properly.
However, at that very moment, the car unexpectedly drove through a puddle, causing Gu Chen to lose his balance and tumble onto Song Fan. Thankfully, he managed to hold himself up with both hands.
Song Fan opened her eyes and found Gu Chen just a few centimeters from her face. His breath brushed against her skin, producing an oddly warm sensation that left her flustered.
Song Fan was not someone who easily lost composure, even in situations as grave as holding a gun to someone. Yet now, her heart was racing uncontrollably.
Instinctively, she turned her head to avert her gaze. Gu Chen quickly righted himself and returned to his seat. An awkward silence lingered between them for a moment.
Had Song Fan looked Gu Chen’s way at that moment, she would have noticed that his ears had turned completely red.
Gu Chen’s mind was in disarray. While he was decisive and composed in the business world, he had never been in such proximity to a girl before. Once he managed to dress himself and eat independently, the family’s nanny was no longer around him. Yet today, he had come perilously close to kissing Song Fan.
Gu Chen exerted considerable effort to calm his racing heart, but every time he closed his eyes, his mind was flooded with images of Song Fan from the close encounter. Song Fan lying beneath him obediently as if he could do anything.
He tried to steer his thoughts away from the subject, convincing himself that his admiration for Song Fan was solely based on her talent. However, the more he resisted, the more vividly he recalled Song Fan’s visage, despite his efforts to divert his attention.
When the car arrived, Su Yang came to open the door and found that the two of them were sitting in the backseat with their eyes closed, not exchanging words.
“Young Master, Miss Song, are you asleep?” Su Yang inquired.
It was only then that Song Fan realized they had already arrived home. She promptly exited the car and stated, “I’ll be taking my leave then.”
With those words, she dashed away without a backward glance, leaving Su Yang astonished at her speed.
“Miss Song, if you were to enter a running competition, I believe you’d secure the championship,” Su Yang remarked.
Meanwhile, Gu Chen remained fixated on the direction in which Song Fan had departed, his expression pensive.
Su Yang approached him and inquired, “Young Master, is there something on your mind?”
Gu Chen contemplated Song Fan’s hurried exit. It had reminded him of the way he had seen Tu Mi sprinting at the MD building—an accelerated running style trained to enhance speed.
Reflecting on how Song Fan had wielded a gun to save him, as well as her ruthless actions at the banquet, it all seemed to align like pieces of a puzzle.
Gu Chen possessed a knack for deducing the complete truth from minor details, and at this moment, he had a hunch, though he still needed confirmation.
Unaware that Gu Chen harbored suspicions, Song Fan returned home. She endeavored to shake off the lingering awkwardness and swiftly logged into the game to complete missions. The competition was scheduled for the next day, and she aimed to secure first place.
Back at home, Song Yin also launched ‘Future City.’ She’d heard Gu Zhuo express his fondness for the game and intended to explore the game. Until she could pinpoint her Mr. Right, she wouldn’t give up any of them. To that end, she planned to become well-versed in the game’s details and generate more conversational topics.
Completing the missions proved challenging for her, so she ended up playing throughout the night, striving to grasp the game’s overall landscape. Consequently, when she attended school the following day, she sported dark under-eye circles.
To her surprise, she spotted Gu Zhuo waiting at the school entrance. Excited, she exited the car to greet him. However, she soon realized that Song Fan had also approached them, even taking the motorcycle key from Gu Zhuo’s hand. They appeared remarkably close.
Song Yin raised her phone and commenced taking photographs, intending to employ her usual strategy of posting on social media. After all, Song Fan had previously threatened to sue, but no action had materialized. It seemed she had merely used the threat as a bluff.
Song Yin hastily edited the picture and concocted a caption. When she returned home that evening, she posted it on the forum under the title “Untold Stories of
Female Teacher and Student..”
