Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 888 The Honest Girl Waiting for the Prodigal Son to Return (1)

The original owner knew that there was no hope for her relationship with Gu Fengmian, so she only harbored a secret crush.

The turning point came at an alumni reunion.

They had already graduated by then.

As a key university, Fenghua University has countless outstanding alumni, and they hold alumni reunions privately every few years.

It allows everyone to get to know each other, exchange resources, and maintain relationships.

The original owner would not have been on the invitation list.

However, because she happened to be a colleague of Yan Liang, the former student council president, she was pulled into the gathering.

She also met Gu Fengmian, whom she had been longing to see.

After the party ended, fueled by alcohol, she suddenly had a bold idea.

She wanted to confess her feelings.

Anyway, we probably won't have a chance to meet again in the future. Even if I get rejected, it's just me who will lose face, and no one else will know except him.

She wanted to give her unrequited love an ending.

So she mustered up her courage and confronted Gu Fengmian, confessing her feelings.

She recounted her years of unrequited love and those untold girlish secrets.

Unexpectedly, before Gu Fengmian could refuse, a chorus of cheers suddenly erupted from behind.

She turned around and saw that Gu Fengmian's good brothers were also there.

There were green plants blocking the view, and it was dark plus the original owner had drunk some alcohol, so she didn't see it.

The original owner was so ashamed that she wanted to run away immediately.

Gu Fengmian stopped her.

"I'll give you a chance to pursue me. Whether you can win me over depends on your abilities."

He slightly raised his chin, and his slender eyes sparkled with a charming smile.

Up close, he's even more stunningly handsome.

His unruliness and arrogance were so obvious, yet they didn't come across as offensive.

The original owner was so bewitched that she didn't even care about being shy, and ignored the jeers from the people behind her, happily nodding in agreement.

"Okay, I will definitely pursue you seriously."

Gu Fengmian smiled, his eyes sparkling with unrestrained light.

And so, the original owner began her pursuit.

Only after getting to know Gu Fengmian up close did she truly understand him.

He was always surrounded by outstanding girls, each one prettier, smarter, and with a better figure than her.

She finally began to feel inferior and prepared to give up.

However, Gu Fengmian's good friend said that since Gu Fengmian was willing to give her a chance, it meant that she was special to him.

After all, she was the first person he was allowed to pursue.

Thus, the original owner's faith was rekindled.

After being kept hanging like this for more than half a year, she gradually gave up hope after seeing Gu Fengmian's photos on another girl's social media account.

It was a photo of a group of men and women drinking on a yacht.

In the photo, Gu Fengmian has a slight smile on his lips, a smile that looks a little mischievous, yet charmingly handsome.

He's a playboy; he'll never settle down and fall for an honest girl like her.

The original owner gave up and stopped pursuing her.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fengmian arrived at her building a week later.

"Mu Zhou, who gave you permission to say you'd stop pursuing her? I said I'd start, and I can only say I'd end."

He was so self-righteous and domineering that he wouldn't allow the original owner to give up the pursuit.

The original owner couldn't say anything harsh to him, but simply said that she wanted to have a serious relationship and didn't want to keep chasing after other people anymore.

"Then I'll allow you to talk to me."

He raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling.

Few can resist being captivated by such a pair of deep, affectionate eyes when they gaze upon someone.

The original owner was even more so.

So, the two officially started dating.

But after falling in love, things didn't seem to be much different from before; the original owner was still chasing after him.

They showed concern and care for him.

Her relationship with Gu Fengmian became known to many acquaintances, and everyone sighed, "As expected, a simp gets everything in the end."

She was such an ordinary person, yet she managed to win over Gu Fengmian.

After falling in love, the original owner did not feel much excitement, but instead fell into deeper internal conflict.

She was becoming increasingly clear that she would never see Gu Fengmian turn back.

He was still surrounded by outstanding girls, and he never tried to avoid them.

He said they were just friends.

But the original owner couldn't come to terms with it.

She thought that perhaps Gu Fengmian's agreement was just a passing fancy, or perhaps he was simply captivated by her unconditional love and the sincerity with which she treated relationships.

But he was destined not to stay for her.

Many people advised her to be more open-minded, saying that she already had Gu Fengmian, so why care so much?

But she can't.

It was precisely because the original owner understood all of this that he suffered even more.

Ultimately, the original owner left without saying goodbye.

She originally thought that by staying away from him, she could forget him. Unfortunately, she was never able to get over the trauma of this relationship and lived a miserable life in her later years.

The original owner's wish was to let go of this relationship, and she also hoped that she could be loved by many people like Gu Fengmian.

Loved by many people?

Mu Zhou blinked.

She sat up, picked up her phone again, and typed a line.

I'm still not feeling well, so I'm going to the hospital first. You don't need to rush back; you might make a wasted trip.

She thoughtfully reminded Gu Fengmian, even though she knew that the other party might not have any intention of coming back at all, or even have seen her message.

But not important.

She didn't even have the energy to change out of her pajamas; she simply put on her coat and took a taxi to the nearest private hospital.

This is also part of the Gu family's business.

As soon as she entered, she saw a familiar figure in the distance.

The man was tall and slender, looking down at a report in his hand, with soft wisps of hair falling across his forehead, obscuring his furrowed brows.

He whispered something to himself.

His face, which I used to think was just handsome and unrestrained, now has a touch of aloofness and nobility.

He handed the report to the people around him, took off his white coat and casually draped it over his forearm, revealing the shirt and trousers underneath.

His narrow waist and broad shoulders accentuated his lean and muscular physique.

As those around him left, he turned to leave as well.

Mu Zhou took a few steps forward, rushed into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly.

"I knew you wouldn't be that heartless. You were worried about me, so you rushed over, weren't you?"

Mu Zhou's nose tingled, and she couldn't help but tear up.

People are always more vulnerable when they are sick.

She buried her face in the man's chest and wiped away her tears, feeling both wronged and happy.

The man paused, then frowned, and placed his large hand on her shoulder to push her away.

"You admit your mistake..."

Mu Zhou followed his pull and left his embrace, tilting her head slightly to look at him, interrupting him as she spoke:

"Gu Fengmian, my head hurts so much, I think I have a fever. The medicine I took isn't helping. Can you take a look at me?"

When she called his name, a knowing look flashed across the man's face.

Then I noticed the abnormal flush on her cheeks and her teary eyes.

She had a face that wasn't particularly stunning, with average features, at most considered pretty, but when she looked at him with such a pitiful and aggrieved expression, it was impossible to refuse her.

At this moment, her pale lips, disheveled hair, and flushed cheeks all became part of her endearing appearance.

Moreover, she really did look like she was about to become delirious from the fever.

The man hesitated for a moment.

Forget it.

"follow me."

His voice was somewhat cold, and he turned and left.

Mu Zhou obediently followed.
