Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Su Hanhan, Are You Sneaking Spicy Strips

Hearing Su Qinghe’s voice, Gu Yifan’s mood immediately brightened.

He couldn’t resist teasing her.

So he said, "Hey... Hanhan, are you sneaking some spicy snacks?"

"Huh?"

Su Qinghe was stunned by his words.

"N-no..."

She quickly said, "I’m not sneaking any spicy snacks..."

"Hmm?"

"You’re not?"

"Then why do you sound so out of breath?"

Gu Yifan asked deliberately.

"I... I was cooking, and my phone ran out of battery so I left it upstairs to charge. I just heard it ring, so I ran up..."

Su Qinghe explained in a small voice from the other end of the line, her cheeks flushing.

"Uh..."

Gu Yifan paused for a second. "You could hear it even though it was charging upstairs?"

"I was afraid I’d miss your call, so I turned the volume all the way up."

Su Qinghe explained softly.

Hearing her words, Gu Yifan paused what he was doing.

’What a silly Hanhan!’

He couldn’t help but say it aloud.

"I’m not silly."

She protested quietly.

"Oh, I know!"

"Silly Hanhan!"

Gu Yifan said calmly.

"..."

Hearing him call her a silly Hanhan again, Su Qinghe couldn’t help but pout on the other end of the line.

She was too tired to argue.

"Alright!"

"Go ahead and let your phone charge. I’m heading back now."

"I’ll be home in about twenty minutes."

When Su Qinghe went silent, Gu Yifan could just picture her pouting. He couldn’t help but smile as he spoke.

"Oh, okay."

"Then I’ll go downstairs and check on the food."

"Dinner should be ready soon."

Su Qinghe nodded and said quietly.

"Yeah, go ahead."

Gu Yifan nodded.

The two then hung up.

He’d just hung up and was about to put his phone in his pocket when it rang again.

"The snow falls so deep, so earnestly, reflecting my wounds in the snow... It hasn’t snowed for over a decade..."

Gu Yifan paused for a moment.

He glanced at his phone and saw it was a call from that damn Wang Zibo, who he hadn’t seen in ages.

He casually answered the phone and said coolly, "Yo, Bozo. Spit it out."

"Uh... -_-||"

Wang Zibo was left speechless on the other end before he could even get a word out.

"Brother Fan, you’re really something else!"

"I was going to tell you a big secret, but now I’ve suddenly changed my mind!"

He pouted, at a loss for words.

"What fucking big secret?"

"Your pair isn’t that big, either!"

Gu Yifan said with a straight face.

"?????"

Wang Zibo was completely baffled.

When it finally dawned on him, he was once again rendered speechless.

’How did Brother Fan get so shameless all of a sudden?’

’The "big secret" I mentioned... did he think I was talking about big... boobs?!’

’Are we even on the same page?!’

"Hello? Say something!"

Seeing him go silent again, Gu Yifan said impatiently, "If you’re not gonna say anything, I’m hanging up. I’m in a hurry to get home for dinner!"

"Brother Fan, with you being this shameless, does Sister-in-law Qinghe know?"

Wang Zibo asked weakly.

"Duh!"

"She loves me for my shamelessness!"

"What, you got a problem with that?!"

Gu Yifan retorted.

Wang Zibo: "...-_-||"

’You’ve already gone there, what can I possibly say?’

He suddenly realized he could never win an argument against Gu Yifan.

And now he couldn’t even out-shameless him!

Sigh~

’Forget it!’

’I’m the bigger person; I won’t stoop to his level!’

Wang Zibo consoled himself by declaring a moral victory.

After a moment of silence, Wang Zibo tried again, unable to let it go. "Brother Fan, are you sure you don’t want to hear my big secret?"

"Not interested."

Gu Yifan replied.

"Erk..."

Wang Zibo was shot down once again.

He tried again meekly, "Brother Fan, this big secret is about you, you know. You really don’t want to know?"

"Suit yourself."

Gu Yifan answered without hesitation.

Wang Zibo: "..."

When Wang Zibo went silent again, a slight smile played on Gu Yifan’s lips.

It was simple.

He just knew that the more indifferent he acted, the more antsy Wang Zibo would get.

Because that damn Bozo had been like this since they were kids—he was completely incapable of keeping anything to himself!

Sure enough.

Less than thirty seconds later, Wang Zibo was waving the white flag.

"Ahem, ahem~"

He faked a couple of coughs, then said sheepishly, "Brother Fan, how about... I just tell you?"

Hearing this, Gu Yifan’s lips curled into a slight smirk.

As he opened the driver’s side door, he said nonchalantly, "Whatever you want."

Hearing this, Wang Zibo didn’t hesitate any longer, spilling everything he had been holding back.

"You’re saying Han Ning is at Jinda University?"

Gu Yifan asked calmly.

"Yeah!"

Wang Zibo found Gu Yifan’s calm tone strange, but he nodded in confirmation.

"Oh."

"Sorry, but I already knew."

Gu Yifan said coolly.

"Er... („ಡωಡ„)"

Now it was Wang Zibo’s turn to be stunned.

He’d assumed Gu Yifan didn’t know, since he himself had only just found out.

He’d asked Han Ning about it before, but she had always been evasive and refused to say anything.

He never thought Gu Yifan would already know!

He felt like a total clown. He’d been looking forward to seeing Gu Yifan’s shocked face!

"Brother Fan, when did you find out?"

Wang Zibo asked dejectedly.

"Oh, not too long ago."

Gu Yifan replied nonchalantly, "Just found out this afternoon."

Wang Zibo: "...-_-||"

"Alright, I can’t be bothered to chat with you anymore."

"Qinghe’s waiting for me to get home for dinner."

"That’s all."

Gu Yifan said coolly.

Without waiting for Wang Zibo to reply, he hung up.

"BEEP... BEEP... BEEP..."

Wang Zibo was left speechless, listening to the busy signal on the other end.

"Damn it!"

"That son of a bitch Gu Yifan... couldn’t hang up without rubbing his relationship in my face!"

"Unbelievable!"

He muttered curses after a long moment.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Yifan stared at the huge basin of bitter melon and pork rib soup, and he just couldn’t take it anymore.

"Seriously?!"

"Su Hanhan, why bitter melon again?"

He turned to Su Qinghe, his voice laced with resignation.

"You’re... you’re too ’heated’."

Su Qinghe said with a perfectly straight face.

Gu Yifan: "..."

After a long silence.

His mouth twitched. He said quietly, "And shouldn’t you know exactly why I’m so ’heated’?"

"If you keep this up, I won’t hold back anymore!"

"Huh?"

Su Qinghe looked at him, completely bewildered.

’What is this Big Bully talking about?’

’Why don’t I understand what he’s saying?’

...
