Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 501 - 224: How are rumors formed?

[Nuannuan, upon seeing these words, may you feel as if we are face to face and your smile unfold]

[I deeply regret that I cannot stay with you until the end, to spend the complete 24 hours together]

[Hastily arriving, hastily leaving, against my wishes, but such is the price for refusing to settle for mediocrity]

[A mediocre woman can still easily find a fairly decent man to partner with in life, but if a man is mediocre, even saying "I like you" becomes a sin]

Having read just the opening, Chen Nuanhan’s mouth curled into a delighted smile.

See, he likes me, huh!

He’s so tough normally, but isn’t he revealing his true feelings in the letter?!

Just as she was basking in her triumph, the very next line immediately infuriated her.

[So, for not being good to you before, I don’t blame you...]

Damn!

How was I not good to you?

We hardly interacted before college, and yet you make it sound as if I committed some unforgivable crime against you!

Chen Nuanhan plopped heavily onto the sofa, kicked her foot onto the coffee table, and continued reading with a huff.

[...It’s all because I’m not dazzling enough to please you]

Chen Nuanhan’s eyes widened.

Wow, this guy is beyond words, managing to annoy me with a letter?

My blood pressure is skyrocketing, just shy of actually losing my cool, but then in the very next line, Gou Huai pulls me back in.

[Actually, I was supposed to be hosting a banquet for Ali’s executives today. Yesterday, Mr. Jiang and I had a splendid talk, and I should be striking while the iron’s hot, to charm the key person in charge]

[But there’s no helping it, your birthday is more important]

"Tch!"

Chen Nuanhan scoffed disdainfully, thinking indignantly: Trying to fool me like I’m some naive sweetheart, if I hadn’t agreed to spend the night out, there’s an eighty percent chance Gou Dongxi wouldn’t come back. Who doesn’t see through your little schemes, huh?!

Yet, begrudgingly clear-headed as she was, her mouth still unwittingly spread into a silly grin.

Knowing these words are false doesn’t prevent the pleasure they bring, isn’t that always the way with women?

She shook her legs rhythmically as she continued reading.

[What I want to tell you is that the past 18 hours are all the time I could manage to spend]

[I spent this time revolving around you]

[Think about it, you spent three-quarters of your birthday with me, but can I ever occupy three-quarters of your entire life?]

[Certainly not, right?]

[You have to spend time with your parents, play with friends, do some work to realize your value, go shopping for beauty to please yourself, and in the future, your focus will have to shift to your children...]

[Your life’s focus will keep changing, and so will mine]

[So don’t feel regret, Moyan once said something like this—]

[In this world, perfection is the least desirable, just look at the moon. Once it’s full, it immediately starts to wane; the fruit on the trees, once fully ripe, must fall. All things must retain some shortfall to remain constant]

[I really appreciate Moyan’s clarity. A sign of a man’s maturity is his calm acceptance of all dissatisfaction, awakening from the delusion that "the world revolves around me," and never again saying "I thought".]

[Just like when I held your head and you outright refused to open your mouth, that’s a shortfall, and it’s the biggest regret of this visit, yet I quickly accepted your difficulty. This is my tolerance toward you, even though I long for your tolerance as well...]

"Damn it!"

Chen Nuanhan, steaming with anger, grabbed the sofa cushion and punched it twice, steam seemingly rising from her head, her ears burning hot.

A perfectly romantic love letter, and you suddenly bring this up?!

Can you act like a human being!

Chen Nuanhan suddenly tossed the letter aside, deciding to wash her face to cool down before continuing to read.

She figured out Gou Huai’s tricks completely, summed up in eight words—

Extreme pulling, incessant leaping!

When you’re happy, he annoys you, when you’re sad, he comforts you, and once comforted, he annoys you again, in an endless loop.

The truth is, Chen Nuanhan quite enjoys this, it’s never dull when together, always unsure what’s coming next.

So, while she may grumble out loud, she’s more than willing to play this game with Gou Huai.

Of course, only Gou Huai could tease with such precision, as if he was born knowing her boundaries just right.

In contrast, Chu Changkuo is just a pure lapdog, too overly cautious. Chatting with Chen Nuanhan, she could almost perfectly predict his next line, his intent, and how he plans the follow-up... It’s all too transparent for her. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Such predictable love suits those girls content with a tranquil life, but for that kind of girl, Chu Changkuo probably wouldn’t have the patience or attitude anyway.

So there lies a paradox, dubbed "Lapdogs get no home, playboys meet no good end."

And Wu Tianyou is a completely different extreme, always managing to hit Chen Nuanhan’s most disliked spots, genuinely making her angry and then lacking the ability to make amends, utterly foolish.

If you say Wu Tianyou is a straight man, that’s not right either, his head filled with tricks, left and right, just plainly unlikable.

Lacking Congcong’s wealth, yet acquiring his afflictions, these types of men are bothersome to all before they truly mature.

With those two for comparison, the entire dormitory’s opinion of Su Huai went through the roof, seemingly boundless, as if they weren’t even on the same level.

Chen Nuanhan has always preferred to take a single bite of the peach of immortality rather than settle for a half-bushel of rotten apricots, and her resolve to stick it out with Su Huai grows firmer and firmer.

Before heading off to wash her face, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a few more words—
