Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1607: Not Playing by the Rules

At night, inside the bathhouse, many people were taking baths, enjoying the comforting sensation of hot water washing over their bodies, chatting and laughing with each other and creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Leng Feng had taken several baths and then said, "Would anyone mind giving my back a scrub? Thanks!" Just as Leng Feng finished speaking, he felt a pair of powerful hands press on his back, kneading up and down.

"Damn, that’s some serious strength." Leng Feng sensed something was off as his body was almost toppled over; this was not the strength of an ordinary person.

When Leng Feng turned around, he was shocked to see Gu Fan behind him, smiling at him and even asking, "How is it, are you satisfied with my service?"

"What the hell are you doing?" Leng Feng quickly put some distance between them and loudly questioned.

Gu Fan had a very natural expression: "Didn’t you ask for a back scrubber? That’s me. Jie has assigned me a job as a bath attendant. Look, I’ve scrubbed everyone here’s back, and they are generally very satisfied."

Hearing this, Leng Feng took a good look around and found that everyone seemed to have a pained expression, seemingly very reluctant to have Gu Fan scrub their backs.

"Okay, I’ve only scrubbed half of your back, please let me complete my job." After saying that, Gu Fan was ready to continue his service.

Leng Feng quickly dodged: "Forget it, no need, I’ll do it myself."

"Wait a minute, I scrub backs really well, I guarantee you’ll be squeaky clean, don’t run away." Gu Fan’s enthusiastic service was too much for Leng Feng who quickly made his escape.

The scene was as awkward as it could get, everyone quickly finished washing and rushed out, it was the most unsatisfying bath they ever had. This left Gu Fan quite puzzled; was his plan not effective?

An hour later, after Leng Feng finished reading in his room and was preparing to sleep, he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Leng Feng asked, but got no response. Driven by curiosity, he opened the door, and then he regretted it.

Outside stood Gu Fan with a pillow in his arms, greeting him with a dry laugh: "Here’s the thing, I can’t sleep in a strange place, and I’m actually quite afraid of the dark. I need someone young, full of vitality, strong, with great skill, handsome and cool to accompany me through this long night. I’ve looked around and found that you are the person who best fits these criteria, so would you mind if tonight..."

Just as Gu Fan was trying to come in, bang, the door was shut by Leng Feng, leaving Gu Fan outside.

"It’s not what I wanted, how was I supposed to know that Lu Yi would snore so loudly when he got older." Gu Fan shook his head and sighed, putting on a very helpless look.

At this moment, Lu Yi and Gu Xiaojin walked out from a corner. Lu Yi protested directly, "Please, to achieve your goal, there is no need to slander me like this."

Gu Xiaojin was even more disdainful: "Dad, to achieve your goal, you really have no bottom line."

"No, as long as I can achieve my goal, even if I have to lower my standards a bit, I don’t care," Gu Fan declared with a desperate look, rendering Lu Yi and Gu Xiaojin speechless.

Gu Xiaojin put her hands together in a praying gesture, making a pleading face: "Then, dad, can you please find another way? The way you’re doing this has no style at all, it’s just turning my stomach."

"Nonsense, that’s exactly the effect I’m aiming for." Gu Fan thoroughly explained his plan. Because Leng Feng hated Gu Fan, no matter how good Gu Fan was to Leng Feng, or how much he did for Leng Feng, Leng Feng’s hatred and defensive mentality were still resistant. Therefore, everything Gu Fan did was futile.

Hence, Gu Fan decided to take a different approach, which was to disgust Leng Feng, using nauseating methods to break down Leng Feng’s psychological defenses against Gu Fan.

After hearing this, Lu Yi and Gu Xiaojin felt there was some logic to it, yet something seemed amiss.

"Gu Fan, I’m just asking around, have these tactics ever succeeded before?" Lu Yi was curious. If this method was effective, he might learn it too since he also had his own way of grossing people out.

All they saw was Gu Fan shaking his head repeatedly: "Sorry, this is my first time trying to disgust someone to ask for their forgiveness. If you don’t forgive me, I’ll keep disgusting you."

"This..." Gu Xiaojin was utterly puzzled, so she asked, "Dad, may I ask what’s your next plan? How do you plan to continue disgusting Leng Feng?"

Gu Fan answered, "I’ve decided to make him a loving breakfast tomorrow and get him some pink gifts; I could even find him a girlfriend. I reckon with this icy guy’s demeanor, there’s a good chance he’s still single."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaojin wore a pained expression, hoping Gu Fan could just give it a rest and not torment Leng Feng any longer.

All they saw was Gu Fan’s smile curving up slightly, looking a bit scheming, as he hooked his arm around Gu Xiaojin’s shoulder, which made her feel a bit panicked: "Dad, what are you planning to do? Just to declare in advance, I won’t make sacrifices for your so-called plan." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

Gu Fan smiled with ill-intent: "Don’t worry, my precious daughter. I just want to tell you that if one day you’re mad at me and still refuse to forgive me, I’ll use this method against you."

Gu Xiaojin quickly made her stance clear: "Dad, rest assured, there are no overnight grudges between father and daughter. No matter what you do that upsets me, I will try my best to forgive you."

"That’s the spirit!" Gu Fan was very satisfied with Gu Xiaojin’s attitude.

Lu Yi, who was on the side, couldn’t stand it anymore and interjected: "Gu Fan, if I ever do something to you that needs forgiveness, you can use this method to get my forgiveness."

Gu Fan squinted at Lu Yi, his eyes showing a hint of disdain: "Forget it, if you start disgusting people, I can’t handle it either."

"What are you saying? I’m of this age now, how can I still be shameless? I get embarrassed too; I am also..." Just as Lu Yi went on and on, about to continue, Gu Fan and Gu Xiaojin quickly left, unable to listen any longer.

"You father and daughter really share a bond." Watching the pair leave, chatting and laughing, Lu Yi felt an emptiness in his heart, admitting to himself that he was envious.

Once upon a time, Lu Yi also had a chance to have a family of his own, but it was ruthlessly destroyed. He could never forget the pain of his heart being torn apart when he personally fired a gun, and the bullet went through Lan Ning’s body.

"I really wish I could go back to the past." Lu Yi couldn’t help but sigh, envious of Gu Xiaojin bringing the past Gu Fan to this era to continue their father-daughter bond.

Lu Yi thought to himself, perhaps the one with the most brutal experience among everyone was Gu Fan. Gu Fan had to face another version of himself, fully aware of what he would become, that he would do many terrible things, and might even personally kill the person he loved the most.

Gu Fan didn’t want to become that person; he didn’t want to hurt anyone. Yet, the cruel fact was that, no matter how much he resisted, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t change the future; he was destined to personally take Lin Xi’s life.
