You Claimed You Didn’t Love Me, So Why Cry Now That I’m Engaged? Chapter 151

Chapter 151: He Called Me Shorty

“Miaomiao, what did you do today?”

Gu Huaiye rested his chin in his hand, chatting with Xie Miaohan in a relaxed posture.

“I slept very late. When I woke up, it was almost time for lunch. Afterward, I went for a walk around the villa district.”

Gu Huaiye nodded and asked, “Did you take your medicine on time?”

“I did.” Xie Miaohan nodded earnestly. “The servants were watching. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”

Gu Huaiye paused slightly, realizing this might have infringed a bit too much on Xie Miaohan’s privacy.

“I’m sorry. When I get back, I’ll definitely speak to them and tell them not to stare at you all the time.” Gu Huaiye coaxed him gently. “I certainly believe you. As long as Miaomiao says he took it, then he definitely took it.”

“They are just doing their job; don’t scold them.”

During these days, Xie Miaohan spent the most time with Father Gu. He knew Father Gu didn’t like him very much, and he was terrified of being kicked out of the Gu family villa.

If Gu Huaiye scolded the servants to stand up for him, Father Gu might think he had instigated it.

“Huaiye, I know they are doing it for my own good. I don’t feel violated, so don’t worry about me.”

Gu Huaiye smiled helplessly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. But if you feel uncomfortable, don’t bottle it up. You must tell me. I’m always on your side.”

Xie Miaohan responded obediently.

Gu Huaiye wanted to say more, but he saw Xie Miaohan starting to yawn.

“No nap this afternoon?”

Xie Miaohan shook his head. “I don’t want to sleep that much.”

“Go have dinner quickly. It’s getting late. Rest early. I’ll come back to see you tomorrow afternoon after class.”

“Okay.”

After ending the video call, Gu Huaiye prepared to shower and rest.

Suddenly, Chen Zirui called him.

“Brother Gu, the snow is so heavy today. Are you unable to make it back?”

Gu Huaiye held the phone between his ear and shoulder as he opened the disposable pajamas Lu Zishi had prepared for him.

“Yeah, I’ve already checked into a hotel.”

“Which hotel? Can I come find you?” Chen Zirui sounded excited. “We haven’t hung out and drank together in ages. Since you can’t go back, I’ll come find you. I’ll bring the booze—my treat this time.”

Recently, Gu Huaiye had focused all his energy on Xie Miaohan, basically disappearing the moment classes ended.

Chen Zirui hadn’t felt right asking him out, considering Xie Miaohan’s condition sounded serious.

If he dragged Gu Huaiye out and Xie Miaohan suddenly committed suicide, he wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.

But now it was different; this was force majeure.

Since Gu Huaiye couldn’t go back anyway, he could hang out with him with a clear conscience.

“Now?” Gu Huaiye glanced at his watch. “Don’t you have an 8 AM class tomorrow?”

“Aiyaya, it’s a rare occasion. I’ll just skip it.” Chen Zirui started wheedling. “Come on, come on, Brother Gu.”

Gu Huaiye got goosebumps from the cringe. He hurriedly stopped him from continuing in that greasy tone.

“Alright, stop being so disgusting. I’m going to throw up my lunch.” Gu Huaiye said, “Come over. Since you’re treating, don’t just bring alcohol. Buy some food on your way; I’m starving to death.”

“You got it! Send me the room number. I’ll be there within an hour!”

Chen Zirui was always most active when it came to this. It took him little more than half an hour to arrive with barbecue and beer.

Gu Huaiye opened the door and looked at Chen Zirui with disdain.

“If you put this much effort into getting a partner, you’d probably be married with kids by now.”

Chen Zirui rolled his eyes. “Don’t exaggerate. Brother Gu, just because you’re with an Alpha, why do you think I’d have kids? Maybe I’ll be like you and marry an Alpha too.”

Influenced by Father Chen, he didn’t have much affection for children.

“That’s not necessarily true…” Gu Huaiye paused, staring at Chen Zirui’s face as he probed, “Did you see Xiang Wanxing?”

At the mention of this person, Chen Zirui’s brow immediately furrowed.

“Saw him yesterday.”

Gu Huaiye: !!!

Sure enough, they were destined.

Previously, he had guarded the training grounds for half a month without seeing a ghost of him, yet Chen Zirui ran into him not long after going there.

“What do you think of him…”

Before Gu Huaiye could finish, Chen Zirui interrupted him.

” Laozi has never seen such a pretentious Omega in his life.”

Gu Huaiye: “……” The development seemed a bit off.

“Why do you say that?”

“I originally wanted to go say hello to him, but do you know what he said?”

“What did he say?” Gu Huaiye played along.

“He called me a shorty.”

Gu Huaiye: Oh, that’s normal then.

“He told a shorty like me to save it, saying he doesn’t just look at any Alpha.”

Gu Huaiye nearly failed to hold back his laughter.

That definitely sounded like something Xiang Wanxing would say.

In his previous life, he met Xiang Wanxing at the airport. Before he could even speak, he was rejected by him.

He was narcissistic, but he certainly had the capital to be.

“But isn’t he very good-looking?”

Chen Zirui lied through his teeth, shaking his head. “Ugly as hell.”

“How is he ugly? Tall and…”

Chen Zirui shot him a resentful look.

Gu Huaiye swallowed his words and corrected himself. “Aside from being tall, he has no redeeming qualities.”

“Right? I think so too.” Chen Zirui said, “He even said he has requirements for choosing an Alpha—they must be SSS-level. How many SSS-levels are there in our school besides your boyfriend?”

Gu Huaiye sensed something was wrong.

Could it be that Xiang Wanxing thought Chen Zirui was recommending himself, hoping to become someone Xiang Wanxing would groom?

“He really is strange. If he wants to find a man to marry, why doesn’t he go to District B? There’s a pile of SSS-level Alphas there.”

“There isn’t exactly a pile…” Gu Huaiye laughed involuntarily. “I feel your opening approach was wrong. Maybe he misunderstood.”

“Who cares if he misunderstood? Let’s not talk about him. Let’s drink and eat.”

Gu Huaiye didn’t continue the topic either.

At least the two had met. The situation was definitely better than in the previous life.
