Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: One by One, They Come for Help

These past few days, Gu Fan had been off work, sleeping until the sun was high in the sky and even having several wonderful dreams—it was sheer bliss.

At seven o’clock this morning, a series of hurried knocks suddenly woke Gu Fan from his pleasant dreams. Groggily waking up, he could tell from the knocking pattern and sound that it was Lu Yi.

Reluctantly getting out of bed and yawning, Gu Fan walked out of his room.

Su Hui and Gu Ling were also disturbed by the noise and came out in their pajamas. Gu Ling, rubbing his eyes, complained, "Bro, who is it? It’s only seven in the morning. Who isn’t fond of sleeping in?"

"Who else could it be but the energized Lu Yi." Gu Fan said with a resigned smile, dragging his sleepy self downstairs to open the door.

Su Hui simply said, "When you see Lu Yi, please beat him up for me, I’ll make it worth your while."

When Gu Fan opened the door, sure enough, it was him. "All I can say is, ’Good morning! Did you bring us breakfast?’"

Lu Yi walked right in without holding back, his excitement unusually high; he was so thrilled he didn’t know what to say.

Gu Fan, having rarely seen Lu Yi like this, grew curious, "What’s up with you? What’s got you so excited?"

The nearly uncontrollable Lu Yi took a long while to calm down before he seriously looked at Gu Fan and said, "I found a girlfriend!"

Hearing this, the still drowsy Gu Fan suddenly perked up and got excited as well, "What, you got a girlfriend? That’s great news! Congratulations on finally breaking out of singledom. By the way, do you have a picture? Have I seen her before?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it’s the one you saw last time you came to our bank." Lu Yi said, pulling out his phone to show the photo, when suddenly hurried footsteps sounded from the staircase.

Su Hui and Gu Ling, now wide awake, also came running to see what was happening.

Lu Yi looked baffled, "What are you all doing?"

Su Hui replied, "We want in, let us have a look too."

"I came to see Gu Fan for a reason, you guys don’t need to crowd around." Just as Lu Yi finished speaking, he saw the murderous look in Su Hui’s eyes, "You ruined our good dreams early this morning, I haven’t even settled that score with you yet. Show us the photo quickly, or you’ll be missing an arm or a leg for your date."

"God, you’re getting more and more brutally straightforward." Threatened by Su Hui’s imposing manner, Lu Yi had no choice but to let the three of them see his girlfriend’s photo.

After seeing the photo, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Gu Ling all wore expressions of surprise, stating, "This lady is beautiful, you’ve done well man."

Gu Fan remembered the last time he visited the bank to see Lu Yi and had seen that woman—truly gorgeous, no less than Yang Xinran. He didn’t expect that Lu Yi would actually win her over.

Actually, Lu Yi had mustered up a lot of courage to confess his feelings, and unexpectedly, Lan Ning had agreed. So, Lu Yi hurried over to ask Gu Fan for some dating advice, like where to go, how to keep the conversation flowing, and what to do if there were awkward silences.

Seeing Lu Yi, who rarely asked for advice so earnestly, it was clear he truly cared about Lan Ning and valued the success of their first date.

Gu Fan really wanted to share some tips, but he had forgotten what it was like when he first dated Lin Xi, and now, he didn’t care about the details when they went out anymore.

Before Gu Fan could speak, Su Hui and Gu Ling chattered non-stop, each other offering plenty of advice for Lu Yi, making it seem as if they hadn’t found something so interesting in a long time.

After Lu Yi had gathered plenty of valuable suggestions and expressed her utmost gratitude, she then left.

Su Hui’s expression suddenly turned sympathetic, "I really feel sorry for the girl dating Lu Yi. I wonder what she will feel when she discovers he is a doomsayer."

Gu Fan remained optimistic, "Don’t say that. Maybe the power of love can overcome the doomsayer’s curse, right?"

"All right, our mission to alleviate suffering is done. I’m going back to sleep some more." After saying this, Gu Ling yawned repeatedly. Just as they were about to head upstairs, suddenly there came a knocking at the door.

"Who could it be this early?" Gu Fan wondered curiously, knowing from the sound of the knocking that it wasn’t Lu Yi.

When Gu Fan opened the door, he saw his high school classmate Guo Ye looking frantic, which immediately gave Gu Fan a bad feeling, "What’s wrong? You look so anxious you’d think your backyard is on fire."

"It really is..." Guo Ye looked miserable, and Gu Fan immediately felt uneasy and quickly shut the door.

"We’re old classmates, you can’t just leave me to die," Guo Ye blocked the door, struggling to push it open and resolutely not letting Gu Fan close it.

Eventually, Gu Fan relented and let Guo Ye into the house, feeling helpless inside and thinking to himself what kind of day it was. One by one, those with relationship issues were coming to him for help. I, Gu Fan, have only been in three relationships, one failed, and two with the same person. How did I become a relationship expert?

Gu Fan asked exasperatedly, "What’s really going on with you? Don’t tell me you still haven’t managed to win over that classmate of ours. Then the last time we gathered for the reunion would really have been for nothing."

"It wasn’t for nothing. I did win her over, but now there’s a major complication," Guo Ye said, his face a mask of embarrassment, seeming unsure of how to proceed.

"As long as the complication wasn’t caused by me and it’s not my responsibility, that’s all that matters," Gu Fan absolutely did not want to get involved, but out of desperation, Guo Ye pleaded, "Old classmate, you can’t just ignore my plight. Back then, to repay your kindness, I tried my best, using all the connections I could, just to get Li Shi to the reunion. Considering my sincerity, you have to help me no matter what."

Gu Fan couldn’t stand listening anymore. It was almost enough to plug his ears, while Gu Ling and Su Hui also couldn’t help but come downstairs to see who was so pitiful.

As soon as Gu Ling and Su Hui came downstairs, Guo Ye was struck dumb, "My God, Gu Fan, you really know how to hide a gem. What is your relationship with these two?"

Gu Fan sighed helplessly, "Don’t think too much, one is my younger sister and the other is my friend."

"A younger sister, that works!" After saying that, Guo Ye turned his gaze to Su Hui, who exuded more of a mature woman’s charm, and exclaimed again, "Such a friend, you deserve to have."

This was all completely unrelated. Gu Fan really did not want Guo Ye’s wild guesses to continue any longer. He opened the door to show the guest out, "If there’s nothing else, please just go back to where you came from."

"No, no, no, my apologies, I will talk about what’s important," Guo Ye immediately put on a troubled expression, his acting was quite impressive, evoking a sense of sympathy just by looking at him.

It turned out, Guo Ye had been having conflicts with his girlfriend recently. As the song lyrics go, "It’s easy to fall in love, but living together is hard." As the conflicts accumulated, they were on the verge of breaking up.
