Chapter 970: Chapter 974: My Spiritual Eyes Boyfriend (14)
When Su Li came back to his senses, it had been a long time since he’d heard any news about Yun Yu.
Out of curiosity, he made a few inquiries and learned that Yun Yu had taken a temporary leave of absence for health reasons, and no one knew where he had gone.
It wasn’t until the first snow of this winter fell that he saw Yun Yu’s figure reappear.
Through the glass of a coffee shop, Yun Yu, shed of his previous slump, appeared on the street, with a pretty-faced girl standing beside him.
The girl was none other than Miss Behind Spirit, Gai Yun.
At this moment, she leaned intimately on Yun Yu with human form, their fingers interlocked, their breaths mingling.
From time to time, Yun Yu would lower his head and whisper something to the girl, often making her giggle softly.
Su Li’s gaze skimmed over the two and fell more on another young girl behind them.
That girl had an unfamiliar face, bearing some resemblance to Gai Yun.
There seemed to be some kinship between her and Gai Yun, though their relationship appeared strained.
The girl seemed quite young, around seventeen or eighteen, petite and delicate, yet she was pushing two large suitcases.
Moreover, her expression was not great, with a complex and obscure look not directed at the backs of the two in front of her.
There was a hint of resentment and grievance in her eyes.
As Su Li casually surveyed the people across, Yun Yu coincidentally raised his head, meeting Su Li’s gaze directly.
Yun Yu froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled strangely, whispering something into Gai Yun’s ear.
Gai Yun frowned, pouting a bit at Yun Yu, and then looked over as well.
The unfamiliarity and hostility in her eyes made Su Li smile too.
It seemed that Miss Behind Spirit had lost her memory...
The fate between these two was indeed not light. Even so, Gai Yun still looked fondly upon Yun Yu again.
Judging by Gai Yun’s current outfit, with wealth evident, her status was clearly not simple.
It even took Yun Yu soaring along. Look at him now, not only is his health great, but his face is rosy, with a trace of pride and complacency.
This was the confidence that comes from having support.
No wonder, of course, when Miss Behind Spirit was about to disappear, she insisted that Yun Yu come find her...
Yun Yu only felt that he was different from before, but when he saw Su Li’s indifferent gaze, it still made his heart burn.
He directly took Gai Yun across the street, heading straight for the coffee shop opposite.
Su Li lazily stirred the coffee in his cup, merely inhaling the aroma of bitter roasted beans without drinking it.
Noticing the soft chair opposite him sink down and a shadow fall over his head, he reluctantly lifted his eyelids, waiting quietly.
Yun Yu smiled happily, loudly and ostentatiously introducing Gai Yun beside him.
"Senior, this is my girlfriend, the eldest daughter of the Gu family in the Capital City."
He deliberately emphasized Gai Yun’s identity.
Before he went looking for her, he hadn’t thought that Gai Yun, with whom he had spent so much time, had such a noble identity.
That was a top elite family, and even if she had no memories of their past encounters, she was still involuntarily attracted to him.
This was what he was most proud of, highlighting Gai Yun’s deep feelings for him and Su Li’s indifference.
Bringing Gai Yun over had been an instinctive act, without even a thought, yet he didn’t regret it at all.
After his introduction, he captured several surprised glances within the café, making him even prouder.
This café was near the school, and the couples here were mostly fellow students.
Part of his words was intentionally spoken for those around them to hear.
"Su Li, how blind of you to refuse me. I turned around and found a girlfriend even better than you."
Without needing to say much, the subtle expressions and a series of small actions on his face constantly conveyed this message.
Gai Yun cast a discerning glance at Su Li, her demeanor reserved, and greeted Su Li, quickly diverting her gaze back to her boyfriend.
Even though it was their first meeting, inexplicably, she disliked the woman before her.
Whether it was a woman’s intuition or the insecurity about her boyfriend, she wanted nothing more than to drag Yun Yu away immediately.
Yet deeper within, she hadn’t voiced was...facing this woman, subconsciously, she felt a slight fear.
Ridiculous as it was, even she was reluctant to admit it, but the truth was as such.
The way the other’s casual, indifferent gaze touched her was like facing a powerful, fierce beast, inducing shivers in her very soul.
Yet this was their first meeting...
Gai Yun was utterly baffled, attributing it to her possessiveness over Yun Yu.
"Oh, congratulations to you both." Su Li responded flatly.
Clearly, Yun Yu was dissatisfied with Su Li’s nonchalant response, wanting to say something but lacking a solid reason, feeling incredibly frustrated.
"Xiao Yu, let’s go, I’m hungry," Gai Yun urged, and Yun Yu reluctantly left with her.
The young girl who lagged behind, overlooked by the two, hesitantly plopped into the seat Yun Yu had sat in.
"Sister, I’m Gu Ling."
Even after many years, when Gu Ling was old and gray, she still clearly remembered this encounter and took pride in seizing the opportunity that changed her life.
-----------
When Gu Ling pushed her suitcase and found their temporary residence, the first thing she saw upon opening the door was Gai Yun’s expressionless stepmother-like face.
"Sister..." Gu Ling called softly.
Looking around and not seeing Yun Yu, she casually asked, "Where’s Brother Yun Yu?"
In front of this sister she never saw eye to eye with, Gai Yun always wore a sour expression, sharply saying, "He went to get food. If we had to wait for you to do something, we’d all starve."
Gu Ling gave an awkward smile, not rebutting, only silently organizing the contents of her suitcase.
Gai Yun, like a supervisor, folded her arms and coolly watched her half-sister bustling about, not bothering to lend a hand.
"Alright, everything’s sorted. I’ll go rest now."
Gai Yun nonchalantly nodded her head, waving her hand as if granting temporary reprieve to her sister.
Once the door was closed, Gu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out her phone to assure her mother of her safety, then carefully extracted a yellow talisman from her pocket.
