Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards

Chapter 133: Chapter 79: Off-the-Charts Male Charm_3

With Gou King as a contrast, she even stopped “hating” Su Huai, and instead began to miss the guy.

Come quickly, I’ve forgiven you… no, just hurry over and take away the annoying spirit, and I’ll forgive you immediately!

Just as she was thinking this, the side door by the window was suddenly pulled open.

“Hello, Everybody!”

Gou Huai grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, and greeted everyone with a radiant smile.

Hiss…

Chen Nuanhan took in a sharp breath of cold air, turned around in astonishment, and suddenly felt a bit of a chill on her back.

Are you a tapeworm?!

Did you come sniffing around after catching a whiff?!

Chen Nuanhan was so surprised that she deliberately didn’t look at Su Huai and, with much haughtiness, turned her head away and continued with her work.

Chu Changkuo was overjoyed, tossed his big spoon aside, and, rubbing his shoulders, walked towards Su Huai.

“Huai, you finally deigned to check on your little business?”

After working in the window for three days, he knew that the sour plum soup was Su Huai’s exclusive business and had little to do with Li Chengguo.

But this wouldn’t become a stumbling block; as long as he could get in touch with Chen Nuanhan, it was worth it.

Gou Huai pinched Kuokuo’s shoulder with much care, “How is it? Are you tired?”

Chu Changkuo puffed up his chest strongly, “Hey, it’s definitely tiring, but if Chen Nuanhan, a girl, doesn’t complain about being tired, then I can handle it!”

Good fellow!

Putting on quite the tough front, aren’t we?!

Just as Gou Huai was about to give Chu Changkuo a new level of respect, the guy immediately became nervous and sneakily glanced at Chen Nuanhan, basing his reaction on observing hers.

Gou Huai couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

So, it was a big move that took a long time to figure out, and after it’s done, you can only rely on ordinary hits?

However, Chen Nuanhan indeed started to see Chu Changkuo a little differently — all thanks to the contrast provided by Wu Tianyou.

Thus, she nodded slightly and offered a fair comment, “Chu is indeed very dedicated and has provided us considerable help. Su Huai, your roommate is more reliable than your schoolmate.”

Wow!

She praised me to my face!

There and then, Chu Changkuo’s eyes narrowed with a laugh, revealing his teeth in a simple-minded manner, patting his head with only three words in his mouth, “It’s only right, it’s only right…”

Meanwhile, Wu Tianyou became anxious.

“Nuannuan, I tried my best too, at most it’s just that I’m not as strong as others—with my family’s condition, it’s understandable that I haven’t done much heavy work, right?”

One was joyful, the other was sad, forming a striking contrast.

But Su Huai keenly noticed an even deeper change—

Chen Nuanhan’s stance and perspective clearly took on that of a boss’s wife…

Dude, have neither of you noticed at all?

Indeed, Chu Changkuo and Wu Tianyou didn’t catch the special undertone in the very common “us”. Eighteen-year-old boys, if not equipped with cheats, would be utterly oblivious, just like Wang Sicong, He Youjun, and Tong Jincheng.

But Su Huai was certainly not one of them; his sixth sense allowed him to detect the subtle shift in Chen Nuanhan’s emotions, and Destiny’s Intuition led him to subconsciously do the most correct thing.

“Your praise is enough for me.”

Gou Huai smiled at Chen Nuanhan, open and straightforward, with no deep implications, yet the words themselves were filled with imagination.

“It’s kind of awkward for us to talk about this stuff, whether I helped you or made a mess. Just put up with me a bit, and unleash your ‘Sour Plum Soup Goddess’ attitude while you’re at it!”

Heard by different people, the same words had entirely different effects.

Chu Changkuo, brimming with delight, patted Su Huai’s shoulder with vigor, “Come on, brothers don’t say such polite stuff. Helping you out is the least I can do!”

Wu Tianyou looked like he’d swallowed a fly, disgusted, “Old Su, you’re so biased. How come he’s helping and I’m just making a mess? My arms were so sore yesterday I couldn’t even lift them, and you and Nuanhan were not even a bit grateful… Damn!”

Chen Nuanhan’s face turned red, as if she thought of something.

But she sensed Su Huai’s earnestness, trust, and empowering attitude, and combined with that seemingly joking remark “take charge,” she felt a rush of emotional value.

“Pfft!”

She stubbornly shot back, “Don’t butter me up. If you’re not gonna help, then get out of my way. I don’t have time to chit-chat with you guys!”

Then she lowered her head and got back to being busy.

However, having just made a cup of sour plum soup, she suddenly looked up sharply at Su Huai, her eyes full of surprise and doubt.

How strange…

Why does Su Huai seem so different today?!

She quickly glanced over Su Huai’s outfit, but didn’t notice any changes.

Next, her gaze scanned his profile, noting that the nose was still the same nose, the lips still the same lips, and the contours of his face hadn’t changed noticeably, yet there was inexplicably an added hint of… hmm, masculinity?

Chen Nuanhan couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but felt that standing together with Wu Tianyou and Chu Changkuo, he especially stood out.

Like an adult with two younger brothers.

Chen Nuanhan was baffled.

It had been just two or three days since they last interacted closely, what significant thing had this man done?

As she was guessing, Lu Xiaosi, the ice-adder beside her, suddenly blushed and nudged her quietly.

“Hm?”

“Nuannuan, you’re good friends with Su Huai, could you… could you… get me his WeChat? I…”

Chen Nuanhan looked down at Lu from her vantage point, feeling a sudden strong impulse.

Yep, it wasn’t an illusion.

Su Huai had indeed become more charming.

Isn’t that ridiculous?!

Dumbfounded for a moment, she reluctantly nodded, “Sure.”

Then, without picking up the conversational thread, she mechanically capped the container.

And Gou Huai, looking regretfully at the 40+ Favorability Rating on the panel, thought: Scrimping and saving only added 10 points of favorability, seems that Chen Nuanhan is neither lustful nor materialistic, definitely tougher than I expected…

Do I really need to go all out?!

Gou Huai thought it over, but still couldn’t make up his mind.

Mainly because it was a toss-up, making it hard to decide intuitively which would be the better action to take.

Forget it, let’s give her a little taste of sweetness first…

Gou Huai wrapped his arms around Chu Changkuo and Wu Tianyou, pulling them toward the door, “You guys worked hard, brothers, let’s go! No more work today, I’ll treat you to some watermelon!”

Having used them to grind down Chen Nuanhan’s resistance, it was time to dispose of the millstone… ahem! Time for the brothers to rest and rejuvenate.

Next time we harvest, I want you healthy and spirited.
