Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Su Qinghe’s Little Notebook

"Eek~!"

Su Qinghe let out a cry, her body uncontrollably tumbling into the arms of Gu Yifan, who was sitting on the sofa.

For a moment, their position was incredibly intimate. Su Qinghe’s heart began to race, and her breathing quickened.

Just as Su Qinghe was at a loss for what to do, Gu Yifan’s voice sounded by her ear. "Su Hanhan, are you scared of me?"

Su Qinghe’s little face was so red you could practically squeeze water from it. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Gu Yifan’s gaze.

Hearing Gu Yifan’s question, she answered in a voice that was barely a whisper, "N-No..."

If they hadn’t been so close at that moment, Gu Yifan truly wouldn’t have been able to hear her.

"No? Then why were you running?"

Gu Yifan said irritably, "See? If I hadn’t caught you, you would have fallen, wouldn’t you?"

Su Qinghe: "??????"

She whipped her head around to stare at Gu Yifan in shock, completely forgetting to blush.

’This "Big Bully" was obviously the one who pulled me down on purpose...’ For a moment, she had no idea what to say!

"Alright, get up."

"Watch where you’re going next time!"

Gu Yifan said nonchalantly after taking advantage of the situation.

With that, he placed his hands under Su Qinghe’s bottom and helped her stand up from his lap.

Su Qinghe: "..."

She pouted but said nothing. ’If I could, I’d bite this stinking jerk!’

’He’s always bullying me!’

"Hmph!"

But in the end, she just let out a little huff and, with her face still flushed, turned and went back to her room.

’I feel like if I stay any longer, I’ll be eaten alive by that "Big Bully," Gu Yifan!’

And she was right!

She wasn’t wrong!

Just a moment ago, Gu Yifan had almost lost control and "eaten" her!

What could he do?!

’I’m not some eunuch like Liu Xiahui. With a beauty in my arms, who could possibly resist!’

But just as he was about to give in and unleash his inner beast, that freaking, damn system just had to pop up and ruin the mood!

It said their current Favorability was at 199%, a state of "more than friends, less than lovers," and that they could break through that final barrier to naturally become a couple!

But then, the damn system added something else. It said they were only 1% away from reaching the 200% maximum Favorability. If they became a couple after hitting that limit, the system would upgrade to Level 2. This would unlock new skills and grant them a special reward prepared just for the two of them!

This forced Gu Yifan to painfully suppress the urges that were ready to burst forth.

And let me tell you, forcefully holding back like that is not something an ordinary person can endure!

Pain!

So much pain!!

Only those who have been through it can understand that kind of agony!!!

"Damn it!"

Gu Yifan couldn’t help but curse under his breath. He got up, walked out onto the balcony, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then slowly exhaled.

"Haaa..."

After chain-smoking two cigarettes, Gu Yifan finally managed to suppress the impulse raging within him.

"Shit!"

’Damn system, when we hit 200% Favorability, if the reward you give me isn’t satisfying, I’ll self-destruct and take you down with me!’

He cursed inwardly.

System: "!@#$%^&*..."

Meanwhile, in her room, Su Qinghe had buried her entire head under the covers.

Her exquisite, makeup-free face was now redder than a boiled lobster!

...

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

The next day, it wasn’t until around eight-thirty in the morning that the two of them emerged from their respective rooms.

For the first time since his rebirth, Gu Yifan had uncharacteristically overslept.

The same went for Su Qinghe, who was usually an early riser.

They both shared a tacit understanding to not mention what happened last night.

After washing up, Su Qinghe silently went to pack their luggage.

As for Gu Yifan, he called the hotel to have them prepare breakfast and bring it up. It would be more convenient to eat first, then check out and leave.

At around ten past nine in the morning, after Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe finished the check-out procedures, they got in the car and set off.

Since Su Qinghe hadn’t slept at all the previous night, she fell asleep not long after the car got on the highway.

Gu Yifan, on the other hand, felt fine. After all, his physical constitution was much stronger since his rebirth; one or two hours of sleep a day was enough for him!

The car sped along the highway, the scenery on both sides of the road continuously receding behind them.

According to the route planned by the GPS, it would take about nine hours to reach Minnan Zhang City.

However, driving for nine hours straight wasn’t realistic, so they would most likely have to stop at a service area for lunch and a rest!

Gu Yifan adjusted the car’s climate control, turning it up slightly so Su Qinghe wouldn’t catch a cold while she slept.

Then, he focused on driving.

...

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, Gu Yifan had been driving on the highway for nearly five hours, and it was now around one-thirty in the afternoon.

Su Qinghe was awake now, and Gu Yifan planned to find a service area to take a break. Although the car still had fuel, he wanted to top it off to avoid trouble later.

He had to admit, the car was great in every way, except for the fact that it needed frequent refueling, which was a bit of a hassle!

It was fine for short trips, but on long hauls, you always had to keep an eye on the fuel gauge, or you’d be in for a rough time!

"Hanhan, you must be starving, right?"

"There’s a service area up ahead. We’ll grab a bite to eat in a bit!"

Gu Yifan said, turning his head toward Su Qinghe.

"I’m... I’m okay. It’s fine, I’m not that hungry."

Su Qinghe shook her head and said softly.

She had woken up from a nap while Gu Yifan was still driving; she felt he must be having a much harder time.

’It would be great if I knew how to drive, too. Then he wouldn’t have to do all this tiring driving by himself.’ The idea of getting a driver’s license suddenly sprouted in Su Qinghe’s mind.

She secretly made a mental note of it, planning to learn to drive once she had time in college.

...

「Ten minutes or so later.」

In the restaurant of the highway service area, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe sat facing each other.

Su Qinghe first ladled a bowl of soup for Gu Yifan, then prepared to get up and get him a plate of food, looking every bit the part of a gentle young wife.

Gu Yifan smiled faintly and reached out to stop her, saying gently, "It’s okay, I’ll get my own food in a minute."

"I-It’s no trouble. I’ll be quick."

Su Qinghe still wanted to go, but Gu Yifan held her back. He took the bowl from her hands, filled it with soup for her, and then said, "Be good and listen. You have some soup first. I’ll get our food in a bit."

Seeing this, Su Qinghe’s mouth opened slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she obediently sat back down.

After finishing his soup in a few quick gulps, Gu Yifan got up to get their food.

Su Qinghe watched his back, her eyes filled with emotion.

That’s just the kind of person she was—easily satisfied and easily touched!

While Gu Yifan was gone, she opened her bag, took out a small black notebook, and began to write in it carefully, stroke by stroke.

When Gu Yifan returned, she quickly put the notebook away, feigning a look of nonchalance.
