Chapter 250 How Can a Heartless Person Use Moral Blackmail? (Fourth Update!!)

Gu Huai discovered that the sheet music that he used to find like gibberish was now completely understandable.

It even seems a bit too simple.

He recalled Lin Jiang's appearance and posture when she played the zither, and sat down in a proper manner.

The moment I sat down at the piano, it seemed like no preparation was needed; a strange feeling just arose.

It seems very simple.

"..."

The sunlight gently fell on the boy's broad and upright shoulders.

It landed on his short, black hair.

His hands were long and slender, his face was well-defined, and he was bathed in sunlight, as if in a soft halo.

Beneath the constantly moving hands, melodious notes flowed forth, and the once quiet corridor was filled with the sound of a piano once more.

A melodious rhythm, a gentle cadence.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, the halo around him shattered quietly, and Gu Huai raised his head to look at the doorway.

He stopped what he was doing.

"Ok?"

I was almost completely immersed in the experience when I suddenly felt like I was being secretly watched.

When he looked towards the doorway, there was nothing there.
"Da da da--"

Footsteps?
The next moment, Lin Jiang, who was wiping her hands with a tissue, appeared in her line of sight.

Is it Lin Jiang?

Just as I was thinking this, I noticed that Lin Jiang didn't come in immediately. Instead, she stood at the door and glanced at the other side of the corridor before slowly turning around and walking in.

"I just heard the sound of a zither. Was that you, Brother Gu Huai, playing?"

Sitting at the piano, Gu Huai naturally couldn't deny it. There was nothing to hide anyway, and his current skills weren't enough to impress Lin Jiang.

"Yeah, I tried it out of boredom earlier, and this thing is actually quite difficult."

It's not difficult at all.

If Lin Jiang knew that she hadn't endured the hardship of practicing day and night and had only learned to play the piano through exchanging her skills, she would probably burst into tears on the spot.

"Playing the piano is indeed not easy."

The young girl was innocent and didn't think too much about it. Instead, she recalled her arduous piano practice from when she was very young, when she saw someone playing the piano on TV and said, "I want one too."
And then I embarked on this path of no return. None of my family members understand.

However, it cannot be denied that Lin Jiang herself really loves the piano; without basic passion, she wouldn't have been able to persevere until now.

"By the way, did you see any classmates after you went to the restroom?"

Gu Huai suddenly asked a question.

Lin Jiang thought for a moment and then realized, "Oh, when I came over just now, I saw someone going down from that side. What's wrong?"

Gu Huai shook his head. "I was worried that someone might have seen me making a fool of myself by playing the piano haphazardly just now."

Lin Jiang covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then he must have heard it. Brother Gu Huai is so embarrassing."

"It's alright, your brother Gu Huai will be able to pick it up himself in a little while."

"Ha ha ha ha."

She seemed to have instantly dispelled all the pressure of the upcoming competition, and obediently ate the noodles that Gu Huai had brought beside her.

Strange. Where did Brother Gu Huai buy this noodle dish? It tastes so good.

No, I have to be a lady and not eat too fast.
Gu Huai watched the girl eat her noodles with her head down, chewing slowly and taking small bites, the aroma constantly wafting towards him.

Gu Huai, who hadn't felt hungry at first, couldn't help but swallow.

Do you always eat this slowly?

Lin Jiang paused for a moment, then subconsciously whispered, "Mom said that chewing slowly is good for digestion."

"That's true, but I suggest you eat the noodles quickly, otherwise the bottom will clump together and you won't be able to stir them."

"Okay."

The girl's cute and obedient response indeed sped things up.

Just like a hamster, Gu Huai couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at her. However, if he laughed, the girl would definitely care a lot and slow down, so Gu Huai deliberately held back.

Ugh.

Being too attentive is a bad thing for a man; I still miss the carefree version of myself.

"By the way, Brother Gu Huai, have you eaten yet?"

"You only remembered me after you finished eating. You've got a conscience after all," Gu Huai joked.

The girl's cheeks immediately flushed slightly, and she said sheepishly, "My noodles are so delicious, I..."

"Why are you about to cry over a joke? Don't worry, I've already eaten."

Yeah, I haven't eaten yet, but someone will bring it later.

Thinking that he would soon be able to receive a fragrant meal from Cai Yan's soft and sweet hands, Gu Huai couldn't help but hum softly.

However, we can't tell Lin Jiang now. Although the two of them seem to have some disagreements in the future, let's try to postpone the storm as much as possible.

"Oh, you eat pretty fast."

I didn't know what to say. I was thinking of offering to treat him to a meal outside of school if he hadn't eaten.

Even if I've already eaten it.

But just watching him eat the food I treated him to makes me happy and content.

Honestly, why eat so fast?
Gu Huai laughed and said, "Haven't you ever seen a boy eat before?"

Lin Jiang thought for a moment and recalled the boys she had seen eating in the cafeteria. Once, she found a secluded spot to eat, and when she looked up, there was a boy sitting across from her.

I was worried about an awkward moment when our eyes met, but the boy was oblivious to everything around him and started kissing me passionately.

I've seen videos of rural people feeding pigs online, but none of them were this exaggerated.

She had just picked up her chopsticks and hadn't even touched them when the ground shook violently. She thought it was an earthquake. Then, less than five minutes later, the other person finished eating, took their plate, and left.

They didn't even wipe their mouths! They even licked them with their tongues!
She felt a chill run down her spine.

"Boys eat pretty fast."

"Good to know, especially in high school, you get hungry so easily in class."

The girl stole a glance at Gu Huai, who seemed quite smug, and thought to herself, "Gu Huai-gege (brother Gu Huai) shouldn't be this fierce when he eats, right? Oh right, I've eaten with him before, and he's quite refined."

People are just different; we can't condemn an entire group because of one isolated case.

With nothing to do after eating, Gu Huai decided to wait for Cai Yan to send him a message before returning to the classroom.

She'll definitely ask where I've been since I left the classroom, and I'll just say I was rummaging through the trash for other people's leftovers, making her feel guilty for the rest of her life.

They act all high and mighty in the office, always demanding massages, water, and food, and then they try to morally blackmail you!
Okay, although Gu Huai did all those things willingly, but...
So what?
Suddenly, Lin Jiang asked from the side, "By the way, I heard there's a tug-of-war competition this afternoon. Did you participate, Brother Gu Huai?"

Gu Huai thought to himself that after the class division, he would become the tallest boy in the class. Even if he didn't want to participate, Old Chen, the homeroom teacher, would have to tie his hands and feet to make him participate.

He nodded. "I'll participate, but there's a big fat guy in my class, so it won't be my turn to help."

"Oh. I'll go check it out. If I see you guys, I'll cheer you on!"

Lin Jiang said cautiously.

Looking at her cute and obedient appearance, Gu Huai wanted to reach out and pinch her cheeks hard, but then decided against it and just patted her head instead.

"Thank you so much, but it's nothing really. The tug-of-war is just for fun, I don't think anyone will take it too seriously."

Lin Jiang enjoyed the boy's touch on her head, which felt warm and comforting.

A strange electric current would surge from the places he touched, traveling down the top of his head.

My whole body felt like I had just woken up, tingling and soothing.

She slightly opened her eyes, hesitating whether to rub her hand against his palm to hint that he could apply more pressure.

But Gu Huai quickly withdrew his hand.

why?
Is it because my hair is very oily?
Nope!
I wash my hair every day!

"Om-"

Gu Huai's phone vibrated.

He looked over and, sure enough, it was Cai Yan's message, and the content was pretty much what he expected.

I brought you lunch, where are you? Why aren't you in the classroom?

Gu Huai couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he thought about what he was going to do next.
