Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 483 - 217: Using Pei Shuyu to Satisfy Chen Nuanhan_2

Chapter 483: Chapter 217: Using Pei Shuyu to Satisfy Chen Nuanhan_2

Pei Shuyu couldn’t help but give him a sideways glance, "How do you know so much?"

Because we’re similar, both ordinary kids who strived hard in the Imperial Capital in our past life, it’s just that he had a bit more talent for emotional intelligence than me, and his progression was far better than mine...

Lost in reminiscence for a moment, Su Huai finally did not answer her question and just smiled faintly.

"If you need someone for operations, you might want to try grooming him. I wouldn’t be so bold as to say he’s S-class material, but A-class is definitely within reach, far better than fixating on me."

Pei Shuyu’s pupils sharply contracted, shocked to no small degree.

The question blurted out, "What exactly is your relationship with Turbid Dog? How do you even know such confidential information about internal institutional building?!"

Without turning his head, Su Huai watched as the host walked towards the center of the stage and let out a light laugh.

"It’s about to start, watch the show."

Pei Shuyu wanted to keep on asking, but Chen Nuanhan next to her suddenly leaned forward, glanced at her, and the slightly smug look in her eyes stopped Pei Shuyu’s impulse.

Chen quite liked the phrase "far better than fixating on me." To her, it was an unequivocal rejection.

Pei Shuyu thought it was laughable, yet it also stirred up her competitive spirit.

She no longer hurried to make career breakthroughs and decided to show Chen Nuanhan a thing or two.

"That’s Li Youyou, the talented junior from our Music Academy’s dance program."

Pei Shuyu softly introduced the beautiful host on the stage to Su Huai, showing a cooperative attitude while finding a way to quietly get closer to him, starting her subtle encroachment with a soft and imperceptible presence.

Su Huai nodded, giving a perfunctory response: "She is indeed talented."

Pei Shuyu laughed with an indiscernible meaning: "Hmm, our college has two dance programs, one of which is exclusively for Beijing natives, all filled with talented beauties."

She really knew how to find a topic of conversation.

Su Huai originally didn’t plan to chat much with her, but this statement aroused his sentimentality.

"That’s indeed tough. Different classes in the same major, there must be disparities in job applications after graduation, right?"

Pei Shuyu nodded, "When Beijing public schools recruit teachers, there’s a selection process just at the registration, like us non-native fresh graduates... you know."

If it had been the old Su Huai, at this moment he would have empathized.

But now, a single "us" made him laugh in spite of himself.

With such a low favorability rating, why are you trying to get cozy with me?

My dear girl, you really are a damn good actress; no wonder you could still rake in so much money in the live streaming business even after growing tired of men...

In the end, he opted for a more objective response.

"The cost of living in the Imperial Capital is high. It’s understandable that schools prefer students from Beijing for stability. If one is truly excellent, getting a position isn’t that hard."

The conversation topic Pei Shuyu struggled to bring up was thus rendered lifeless by Su Huai.

Chen Nuanhan’s alert ears twitched, and her lips curved into a faint smile.

Soon, the first contestant went on stage, performing a stunning rendition of ’The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.’

Pei Shuyu couldn’t resist interacting with Su Huai again, "Do you think this kind of singer has hope of becoming a top live broadcaster?"

"No," Su Huai was concise, "Not enough looks."

The girl was indeed short and chubby, really not that appealing.

Pei Shuyu nodded, forcibly empathizing, "Same thought."

Chen Nuanhan puckered her lips, now somewhat displeased.

What’s with this woman? Can’t she give it a rest?

Aaah, so annoying!

Despite her frustration, she had no solution and could only hope that Gou Huai would hold out a bit longer.

Su Huai indeed withstood the temptation and behaved exceptionally well.

He didn’t talk much, and every word was confined to the domain of polite responses, not a hint of flirting.

Even after more than half the contestants had performed, Pei Shuyu’s efforts still bore no fruit, as any conversation eventually ended blandly and indifferently.

Chen Nuanhan’s growing delight bloomed into a wider smile until she spoke up softly, "Look, Mr. Chu is going up on stage!"

She didn’t actually care about Chu Changkuo; she just wanted to talk to Su Huai.

"Hmm, very handsome. What’s he singing today?"

Su Huai didn’t hesitate to praise Kuokuo. As for this competitor who posed no threat, it was indeed better to show magnanimity. Stepping on him was pointless.

"I don’t know..." Chen Nuanhan deliberately feigned indifference to mirror Su Huai’s kindness.

"Stealing Your Heart," Pei Shuyu suddenly chimed in.

Chen Nuanhan’s face turned serious, "Never heard of it."

Su Huai took control of the situation decisively, "It’s an old song, by Zhang Xueyou."

Chen Nuanhan’s attention immediately shifted away from Pei Shuyu, now curiously asking, "Is it good? I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it."

"It’s good," Su Huai nodded, "but I’m not sure if Kuokuo can sing it well. It’s a very challenging song."

Suddenly a burst of cheers erupted from the audience, louder than for any of the previous contestants.

"Management student Chu Changkuo, the Leslie Cheung of the Imperial Capital!"

"Handsome Chu, go for it!"

"Mr. Chu, feel free to steal my heart away!"

The last cheer came from a man, effectively making it sound comedic.

However, Chu Changkuo didn’t respond.

Straddling his guitar, he sat on the high stool, looking lonely and melancholic as he hung his head, gently strummed the strings twice, and began to speak into the microphone.

"This song ’Stealing Your Heart’ is for the girl who stole my heart and then threw it into the dirt."

Pei Shuyu suddenly let out a snicker, and Chen Nuanhan gave her a glance but didn’t get a chance to retort.

Wanting to confront her, Chen Nuanhan found that Chu Changkuo had already begun to sing soulfully, "Loneliness is gradually taking over my heart, the long nights grow colder, memories grow lonelier..."

"So beautiful!"

Yuyan’s eyes lit up as she instinctively praised the music.

It was indeed beautiful, not in a show-offy, overly professional way, but with an indescribable flavor that engrossed the listeners.

Especially during the climactic line, "Who covertly stole my heart, unable to discern night from dawn... Who covertly took my heart, my eyes can’t even see myself..."
