At this moment, no one except the the two of them knew what what they were talking about.

They all just felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

“He Ran, it’s better to resolve this as soon as possible,” Gou An reminded with a frown, “Don’t drag your feet.”

“Why, are you in a hurry?”

The question was asked lightly, but Gou An felt that she saw He Ran’s cheeks tighten, as if he was grinding his back molars.

He seemed unhappy.

It was probably her imagination.

Because the favorability level was as stable as Mount Tai.

It was definitely an illusion.

What reason could he have to be unhappy?

Gou An turned around, held her head high and pushed open the door of the University Student Union Office.

She heard a fat cat wagging its tail and saying –

[Jiaojiao: He is really unhappy.]…

[Jiaojiao: But the favorability hasn’t dropped. That’s so strange. Is the system broken?] …

Gou An didn’t take the silly cat’s words to heart. After all, He Ran would be single again soon. Although it was not made public yet, given time, he would soon be able to pursue Lu Wan openly…

By then, it wouldn’t be too late to set off firecrackers to celebrate. What should he be unhappy about?

Her confidence in this matter continued until the basketball game.

The Sports Committee of the Department’s Student Union invited people from the university’s varsity basketball team to come and join the festivities. Surprisingly, the President of the University Student Union and captain of the varsity basketball team, He Ran—who had a lot to do—actually showed up.

Although, from beginning to end, he just stood on the sidelines with a whistle in his lips and played around lazily…

But despite this, because of his appearance, the attendance rate for these basketball games was ten times that of previous years.

The stands were packed, and during halftime, someone nudged Gou An’s shoulder with their shoulder.

Gou An turned her head: the person sitting next to her was Tang Xinjiu. The nightmare she had—ah, no, it was a premonition about the future, wasn’t it? In there, Tang Xinjiu cried and said that she did not dare to play with such a vicious Gou An anymore, for fear that one day she too would be harmed by her and end up dead.

But right now Tang Xinjiu was still her good friend. 

To be honest, this girl was really timid. Whether it was Jiaojiao’s death or the glass of red wine poured on the school girl’s head last week, either was enough to scare her silly… That she didn’t turn around and immediately distance herself from Gou An and was still sitting here with her was proof of her deep affection for Gou An.

Gou An didn’t blame her for her subsequent defection. But now, she raised an eyebrow and looked at her condescendingly, meaning: What are you doing?

At this time, Tang Xinjiu was still the good friend that she was and was holding high the banner of the original CP. She pointed at He Ran, who was standing on the sidelines not far away, wiping his sweat impatiently, “Your boyfriend is going to be a salted fish from all this heat. “

Gou An looked in the direction she was pointing. The game was on a break, and He Ran was rolling up his sleeves to watch the replay of the game held just now.

Playing for one of the teams competing in today’s Department-sponsored games was the future star player of the university varsity team. As the captain of the university varsity team, he was watching the replay of his game with a sullen face. He seemed to be preparing to scold this unlucky guy for his poor performance today—

Tang Xinjiu nudged Gou An again and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

Gou An thought for a while: in the past it was indeed true that she would already have been by He Ran’s side with a towel and bottle of mineral water before the first drop of sweat even fell…

But they were now at the critical moment of breaking up.

She just sat there and didn’t want to go, but Tang Xinjiu kept hitting her with her elbow and asking her why she was still sitting there. It was annoying her to death…

Ten minutes later, Gou An reluctantly took the mineral water and left.

After peeling away many layers of people, she finally managed to squeeze in front of Young Master He. Before she could move her lips and speak, the young man himself seemed to have sensed her arrival and raised his head from the computer screen that was showing the game replay—

From across the monitor, the two looked at each other.

The anger in Young Master He’s eyes had not dissipated at all, and his dark eyes turned into thick ink spots as he looked at Gou An expressionlessly.

Gou An had the mineral water in her hand. She thought for a moment and placed it on the desk, the bottle touching his hand that was lying on the edge of the computer desk.

He Ran didn’t speak until people finally started noticing their interaction and looked over. Then he raised his hand and pushed the bottle of mineral water that Gou An had just placed there with the back of his hand.

Wiping his sweat, he turned his head, glanced at a busy figure behind him, and said lazily in a teasing tone, “Hey, give me a bottle of water! Can’t you see me working for your Department. Aren’t I exhausted?”

Under everyone’s gaze, the slender figure with her back to everyone trembled. Without looking back, she said “Oh” and bent down to take a bottle of ice-cold mineral water from the cooler, then turned around and handed it over.　　

For a moment, there was silence all around.

From across the computer desk, an expressionless Gou An saw the slender white hand holding out the bottle of ice-cold mineral water to He Ran. Lu Wan looked back at her, her face turning as pale as a piece of paper.
