Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 865 - 412: Peach Blossom Luck and Peach Blossom Curse
Yu Ruohuan didn’t know she was seriously ill; she thought it was pneumonia caused by a fever and would get better after a few days in the hospital.
Thinking of Shen You’an’s humiliation towards her, she tossed and turned day and night, wishing she could tear her apart.
Her father was too busy to care about her, and her mother didn’t support her either. After thinking it over, there was still someone she could use.
She took out her phone and dialed a number.
No one answered.
She called again, still no one answered.
Yu Ruohuan sneered, these fair-weather friends, thinking the Yu family had lost power and wanting to distance themselves from her, it’s not that easy.
Yu Ruohuan opened the chat box, typed a few words and sent them.
Sure enough, shortly after, the phone that couldn’t be reached earlier called back.
Yu Ruohuan answered, and before she could speak, a cold, hard voice from a young man came through: "What do you want?"
There was a mix of dismissiveness and impatience in the tone.
Yu Ruohuan sneered, "Gu Bichen, if it wasn’t for the message I sent you, even if I died, you wouldn’t look at me, right?"
The silence from the other end seemed like an answer.
This made Yu Ruohuan’s heart feel even more stifled.
"I’m at Mingren Hospital, get over here right now."
There was still silence on the phone.
"You can choose not to come, but I can choose to make your secret public..."
"Yu Ruohuan, are you threatening me?"
If he was manipulated once, he’d be controlled for life, when would such suffocating days end?
He hated this feeling.
"That’s right, I’m threatening you. I give you half an hour; if I don’t see you in the ward in half an hour, then soon the whole world will know the secret you’re desperately hiding."
Yu Ruohuan hung up after speaking.
She wasn’t worried at all; Gu Bichen would definitely come.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Gu Bichen stepped into the ward, his always graceful face now looking like a poker face, as foul as could be.
Gu Bichen didn’t care why Yu Ruohuan was hospitalized, even though she looked much thinner than the last time they met, her face pale and weak, he didn’t have a single ounce of concern.
Her pale and weak face couldn’t hide the arrogance all over it, a face that disgusted him immensely.
"I know you hate me, but it can’t be helped; you’ve fallen into my hands, destined to never escape my grasp in this life."
Yu Ruohuan patted the spot next to her, "Sit."
Gu Bichen stood motionless.
"I said sit." Yu Ruohuan forcibly pulled him over.
Gu Bichen stiffened entirely, his expression angry yet restrained.
Ultimately, he compromised, sitting down with a face full of reluctance.
Yu Ruohuan linked her arm with his and said with a smile, "How about we get engaged?"
Gu Bichen took a deep breath, his tone freezing cold as he refused, "We’re still students."
"So what? It’s just an engagement, not a marriage. I don’t need a complex ceremony, just our families sitting together for a simple meal will do."
Gu Bichen turned and glanced at her, Yu Ruohuan playfully blinked.
Gu Bichen knew her game; the Yu family was now under scrutiny, no families were bold enough to get close to them at this time.
An engagement symbolizes a union between two families, making the Gu family appear to be on the same ship as the Yu family in outsiders’ eyes.
This woman’s scheming, sinister and malicious intentions were all too clear.
Yu Ruohuan smiled and looked at him, her gaze making one feel uneasy.
Gu Bichen’s heart slowly sank into the abyss.
He couldn’t refuse.
This feeling of being controlled angered him, but he had no solution.
"An engagement is a big deal, requires parents’ and elders’ consent, I need time to discuss it with them."
Yu Ruohuan laughed and helped him straighten his collar: "I believe you’ll handle your parents and grandmother, waiting for your good news."
"By the way, did Shen You’an come back from her competition abroad?" Yu Ruohuan asked casually.
Gu Bichen instinctively frowned, "Why are you asking about her?"
"I watched the live broadcast of the competition online and know she won the championship. It’s our Hua Country’s pride; I want to congratulate her in person."
"Forget it, she doesn’t need your congratulations."
After a pause, he still answered her earlier question, "She and Liu Runxi didn’t return with the team leader. They must have other things, I don’t know the details."
Yu Ruohuan chuckled, "She and Liu Runxi are inseparable, is there really nothing between them?"
Gu Bichen frowned more deeply, his tone mixed with a hint of anger even he didn’t notice: "They’re classmates, what could be wrong? Just because you’re dirty-minded doesn’t mean everything else is."
The words were rude.
Yu Ruohuan wasn’t offended, she said with a grin, "I think they’re quite a match, just like us, maybe there’s secretly been some affection growing between them."
Gu Bichen sprang up, "I have something else, I’m leaving."
"Gu Bichen." Yu Ruohuan called his name coldly.
Gu Bichen halted his steps but didn’t turn back.
"Remember what you promised me, I give you a month. Don’t disappoint me."
Gu Bichen left without looking back.
Yu Ruohuan sneered, did he think he could hide his little schemes from her eyes?
At this moment, a plan began to take shape in her mind.
Shen You’an, I want your luck in romance to turn into your ill fate.
Yu Ruohuan’s eyes sparkled with madness.
——
Shen You’an was unaware of others’ schemes, she returned to her country on time and entered the national team for a week of closed training.
She and Liu Runxi had passed the assessment at the base, but domestically they still had studies to complete, so after communicating with the base, they decided to give them half a year to settle their life and academic matters, formally joining the project group after the New Year.
This year’s World Championships were held in Qingzhou, conveniently giving her a chance to visit her hometown amidst her busy schedule.
Shen You’an finished a week of closed training and left with the team for Qingzhou.
At the airport, Shen You’an took out her notebook and started scribbling, the girl next to her glanced at it, it looked like some mathematical formula she couldn’t understand at all.
"An’an, what are you drawing?"
The girl was also a member of the national women’s swimming team, named Tang Yuanyuan, nicknamed Tangyuan. She was straightforward and admired Shen You’an’s beauty and manner. Since Shen You’an joined the national team, Tangyuan had stuck to her like glue.
Shen You’an kept calculating while replying without lifting her head: "Calabi-Yau manifold structure."
Tang Yuanyuan listened in confusion, but it sounded impressive, even though she didn’t understand a bit.
Shen You’an thought for a moment and said, "A manifold is the motion of strings in higher dimensions, it helps us understand the basic makeup of matter and the universe."
Tang Yuanyuan grew more confused, "An’an, why are you calculating this? Are you interested in astronomy?"
In Tang Yuanyuan’s understanding, anything with the universe must be related to astronomy.
Shen You’an laughed and shook her head, half-joking: "No, I’m interested in time travel."
Tang Yuanyuan covered her mouth in surprise: "Really? You’re really researching time travel?"
Seeing Tang Yuanyuan’s innocent and admiring eyes, Shen You’an lightly coughed: "Just scribbling for fun, we should believe in science."
Such a naive kid, so easily convinced by people.
