Chapter 63 - A Battle of Love Brainstorming

Survive or die.

This was a problem.

At this moment, Liu was faced with a profound philosophical dilemma.

The time was at the rendezvous point between midnight and dawn. He spent the night in his girlfriend's room, which exuded a serene ambiance with the fragrance of a girl filling the air. The pearl curtain hanging by the window was made of fine gauze, beautifully depicting romantic fishing boats and moored lights outside, setting the perfect atmosphere.

His girlfriend woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a bit uneasy. She sat by the bed, wearing only thin clothes, her face flushed with shyness. With hopeful eyes, she looked at him, waiting for his comforting and reassuring words.

After a passionate conversation.

She said, it's time to go.

What a happy thing it was!

In such a moment, he should have embraced her tightly, tenderly kissed her, and naturally joined her on the bed. But instead, there was a series of beeps. [Beep -], [Beep -], [Beep -], [Beep -], [Beep -], [Beep -], [Beep -], [Beep -]—resulting in an all-CG collection achievement.

However.

The main point was here.

Why did his girlfriend suddenly wake up?

It wasn't because Su Feng had a nightmare; it was because her daughter, who had been peering down from the top of the bed, thought things were too dull and purposely made a noise to wake her up.

And now, her daughter was right behind Guo Fan, hidden from view. If she wasn't cautious, her oblivious girlfriend would immediately notice her.

What was he going to do now?

Guo Fan laughed dryly, feeling like no matter how he thought about it, he was in trouble.

Su Feng sat by the bed and waited for a while, expecting her sweetheart to come over and hug her. But instead, a hint of unease replaced her shyness when she noticed Guo Fan standing rigidly in one spot, seemingly lost in thought.

His posture was unnaturally stiff, and he remained motionless, appearing distant.

Surprised, Su Feng whispered softly, “You?” Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

Eventually, Su Feng's expression froze completely. She felt like her tenderness had been washed away tonight, as if something slipped away when it was on the brink of revelation.

It felt like being at the doorstep of entering, yet not being allowed to.

Su Feng's patience reached its limit. Unable to hold back any longer, she said, “A-Yuan, it's getting late. Even if you don't cultivate, you should rest for a while. Come up first...”

“Is it already this late?” Guo Fan paused, surprised. He glanced outside and sighed, “It's mine, not mine. I'm sorry, not only did I get myself worried until midnight, but I also kept you up until now.”

Su Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart regained its liveliness, and she said, “So...”

But what followed was the most crucial part!

Guo Fan immediately cut in with a sincere gaze, “You know, after I suffered that serious injury, one of the guest chamberlains in the manor took care of me. She was very kind to me. I'm not an ungrateful person. I must repay her kindness.”

Cutting to the chase, Su Feng's patience had run thin, and she knew Huo Bai was a beauty.

Su Feng pursed her lips, withdrew her hands from her lap, and placed them on both sides of her body. She tightened the blanket with her fingers and said, “And what about your little Yaling?”

“Eh?”

Guo Fan feigned surprise, relieved that things seemed to be settling down. It had been quite a challenge to turn Su Feng's slight dissatisfaction into acceptance of a girl he had a good impression of.

Such a conversation suited Su Feng perfectly, as she had used a similar tactic to win her over before. However, this time, the context made all the difference, and the effects were strikingly dissimilar.

Guo Fan could no longer play dumb. He quickly apologized, “I didn't do it on purpose. Are you upset?”

Su Feng turned her head and responded, “I know you didn't mean to... I'm not angry.”

Guo Fan seemed to understand. He maintained a natural but stiff expression while adding a touch of sadness to his eyes. “It's my fault. I'll contemplate things on my own. These matters have been troubling me too much.”

Deep inside, Guo Fan felt as if fireworks were going off. He slowly moved back towards the door.

Out of the corner of her eye, Su Feng noticed his guilt-ridden demeanor. He continued to gaze at her while stepping backward to the door.

Guo Fan reached the door and gently patted the young girl on her back.

Obediently, Yijun opened the door, and Guo Fan stepped out slowly, closing the door until Su Feng was no longer visible.

“He bought it...” Guo Fan let out a long breath, relieved in his heart.
