Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Awkward Situation

After all, Gu Fan was still a college student, with academic studies as his priority. So today, he obediently attended class, striving to gain knowledge and persisting towards his ambition to become a pillar of the country’s future.

However, he arrived a step too late today, with many of the good seats already taken. After searching for a while, Gu Fan discovered the only seat left was next to Lin Xi. Having no choice, he gritted his teeth and took the seat amidst the odd stares from everyone, ending up next to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi’s facial expression was focused entirely on her book, treating Gu Fan as if he was air. The situation was so awkward that Gu Fan felt extremely uncomfortable. Everybody knew they had broken up, so sitting together now seemed strange.

Class began, and while the professor was lecturing, Gu Fan was listening, but couldn’t help stealing glances at Lin Xi. He noticed that she was becoming more and more beautiful and learned in makeup. He guessed that by the time she graduated, she wouldn’t lose out to mature women like Su Hui and Leng Le.

While Lin Xi was listening attentively, she spoke up faintly, "Why aren’t you paying attention to the class? Why are you staring at me?"

Hearing this, Gu Fan felt embarrassed. Then, the peculiar glances from the people around him made him even more embarrassed. He could only whisper, "Well... I..."

"No need to explain. All men are the same." Lin Xi showed a look of disdain. Immediately after she spoke, the other male students stared at Gu Fan with questioning eyes, as if to say, ’Gu Fan, you have brought shame upon men.’

This was utterly ridiculous, so Gu Fan quickly said, "I just have a couple of questions to ask you. Keep your voice down, be discreet."

"We’ve broken up. What do you still need to ask me? If you must know, the answer is– I don’t love you anymore." Lin Xi’s words were decisive. She showed an absolute lack of regret that left Gu Fan stunned. What was all this about?

Deciding he couldn’t be passive anymore, Gu Fan decided to fight back: "I just want to ask, when will you take your stuff away from my place?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi faltered. This time, it was the people around them who turned to look at Lin Xi with sympathetic gazes. Ah, to have your gifts rejected after a breakup, how ruthless.

"Dammit Gu Fan, you just wait." Lin Xi inwardly ground her teeth. She, of course, knew Gu Fan was talking about the diagram. After thinking for a moment, she said: "I’ll do it when I have time."

Gu Fan pretended to sigh: "Can you pick them up as soon as possible? My girlfriend doesn’t like other women’s gifts lying around in my room."

The female students around them gave Lin Xi pitying looks, making her grind her teeth again. She clenched her fist tightly, giving Gu Fan the feeling that something was choking his throat, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright, let’s stop talking for now, we can talk after class." Gu Fan quickly backed down, knowing he was in danger, and this made Lin Xi let him off.

Finally, after waiting until class was over and everyone was leaving, Gu Fan grabbed Lin Xi and pulled her back before she could leave, which made her angry: "What are you doing? We’ve broken up. Don’t mess with me and harm my image."

"Screw you and your image. Let’s talk about the important stuff. I don’t feel comfortable having that diagram at my place. It seems to attract trouble. Pick it up soon." As soon as Gu Fan finished his words, Lin Xi responded nonchalantly, "Alright then, if I ever remember, I’ll send someone over. But, I have been quite forgetful lately, so there’s a good chance I might forget."

Gu Fan was a bit irritated: "Can you stop acting childish? That’s your diagram, why leave it at my place? I’ve told you before, I don’t care what you’re up to. I don’t want to be dragged into this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi immediately turned her questioning gaze at Gu Fan: "If Sister Su does something, you care. You don’t mind being involved then."

Gu Fan simply replied: "That’s because Sister Su has helped me before. You surely haven’t forgotten how we’ve all risked our lives to investigate everything in the borderlands, right? Sister Su didn’t just help me, she also helped you."

"Oh, so Sister Su helps you without any hesitation, and you do the same for her. How precious your friendship is, it’s so suspicious. You two help each other so much—why can’t you take your relationship a step further?" Lin Xi’s words were loaded with mockery, with a touch of irrationality.

"What are you even saying." Gu Fan initially wanted to argue, but then realized he was being foolish. One can never use reason when arguing with a woman, nor should they engage in a quarrel. This was a lesson learned through the tears of many men. As a result, Gu Fan took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his heart: "Alright, I admit I was in the wrong before. You are a reincarnation of a goddess, and being someone superior, could you stoop so low as to not care about what an ordinary person like me does?"

Lin Xi scoffed: "If it were before, someone like you would have been long dead for offending me. The fact that you are still alive denotes I’ve spared you."

On hearing this, Gu Fan nearly lost his temper, but he managed to hold back: "Thanks to Queen Lin for her generosity in sparing my life, there’s just the matter of your diagram... If you agree, I can deliver it to you tomorrow. That way, we will be done with each other, and everyone can go their own ways. Doesn’t that sound good?"

"Fine, then return it to me." Lin Xi looked straight into Gu Fan’s eyes, watching him intently, then asked, "Gu Fan, are you really trying to cut ties with us?"

"Well..." Gu Fan hesitated. When he met Lin Xi’s gaze, he had the strange feeling of sorrow and secrecy hidden in her eyes. Gu Fan took a moment to think, and then said, "Fine, I can look after the diagram for you. I can keep in touch with you. And I can forgive you for using me before, but you at least have to tell me what you guys are doing, what your goal is. Otherwise, how are we supposed to cooperate? You should know that Sister Su has told me everything because she trusts me. And I trust Sister Su. This trust isn’t just in words, it has been proven with actions."

"I..." Lin Xi wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she halted, twisting her mouth. Lin Xi was constantly hesitating and finally let out a sigh: "Sorry Gu Fan, you are right, it’s better if we cut ties." And with that, Lin Xi quickly left the classroom.

Gu Fan felt a sinking feeling in his heart, judging Lin Xi’s intentions, she must be planning something that is not good, and might even oppose Su Hui in the future.

Suddenly, Gu Fan recalled a critical point and quickly chased after her: "Wait a minute, beauty. Since we are parting ways, when will you take your stuff away? If you don’t take it away soon, don’t blame me for charging a storage fee. A hundred a day... Let’s see, for so many days, let’s make it an even ten thousand first. Don’t worry, I will issue a receipt. Wait, don’t leave so quickly, the price is negotiable..."
