As soon as he heard this, Mu Weiyun became excited. He eagerly asked, “What’s so strange? Tell me more.”
When Shen Qingyan revealed everything, Mu Weiyun’s expression became weird. “Uh, Qingyan, no wonder I couldn’t figure out his orientation. He’s even more unique than us.”
Shen Qingyan tilted his head in confusion. “Explain what you mean.”
“You know about BDSM, right?” Mu Weiyun’s expression grew complicated. “He might be inclined that way.”
Shen Qingyan couldn’t help but shiver, but he felt a hint of excitement. He laughed awkwardly. “No way, Gu Yunjue doesn’t seem like that type.”
“Did you expect him to wear it on his face?” Mu Weiyun snorted. “Either he’s going through a phase, or he wants to play the domineering CEO and innocent flower game with you.”
Shen Qingyan was speechless. “I told you to stop reading those strange books. What are you even thinking?”
“But our heartthrob junior’s way of pursuing someone is strange no matter how you look at it,” Mu Weiyun argued confidently. “What does this mean? It means he’s looking for someone like-minded.”
Shen Qingyan was completely taken aback. He let out a confused “Ah,” not understanding how Mu Weiyun reached this conclusion.
“Hehe, Qingyan,” Mu Weiyun said with a smile, “I can’t bear to see you get hurt. Let me take your place! Let me be Gu Yunjue’s boyfriend!”
“Stop it!” Shen Qingyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m trying to have a serious discussion here, don’t change the subject.”
Mu Weiyun sighed regretfully and stroked his chin. “I still think my analysis is correct. After all, who pursues someone like this? My radar isn’t wrong. Last time, when that guy from the basketball team put his arm around your shoulder, I knew right away, and you didn’t believe me, but wasn’t I right in the end?”
Shen Qingyan: “…Military Advisor Mu, what should I do now?”
“What, you really want to date Gu Yunjue?” Mu Weiyun was surprised. “I was just joking earlier about letting you give him to me. Xiao Yan, I really think something’s off about Gu Yunjue. Don’t get carried away.”
Shen Qingyan sighed and shook his head. “Military Advisor Mu, do you believe in love at first sight? I still want to give it a try.”
“You two are something else, falling in love at first sight with each other,” Mu Weiyun grumbled. “Fine, let’s analyze what Gu Yunjue really means.”
Shen Qingyan looked down at his phone and suddenly made a surprised sound, looking up in confusion. “Weiyun, he transferred money to me, 52,000 yuan, with a note saying it’s a gift.”
“What!” Mu Weiyun slammed the table. “Date him! You must date him!”
Shen Qingyan: “…Also, he sent a voice message.”
“Quick, play it!” Mu Weiyun snatched the phone and turned on the speaker in front of Shen Qingyan.
A deep, magnetic voice echoed in the small dorm room.
“Senior Shen Qingyan, if you don’t accept it, you’ll face the consequences.”
The lazy drawl in his voice made it clear that this amount was merely pocket change to Gu Yunjue.
Mu Weiyun was stunned, his hand trembling as he accidentally closed the message.
“Um,” Mu Weiyun blinked, “Dad, it’s still early. Why don’t we go out for a nice meal?”
Shen Qingyan: “…Get lost! I don’t have a son like you!”
But since he’d already received the money, transferring it back right away would be too obvious. It would be better to find a suitable time to return it later.
In the private room, Li Xun helplessly looked at Gu Yunjue’s cold expression. “Yunjue, we’re out to have fun, why are you still so unhappy?”
“I told Shen Qingyan my requirements,” Gu Yunjue said abruptly. “But I don’t think I should have done that.”
Li Xun’s heart sank, though his face remained calm. “Why? Do you regret it?”
“I only threatened him,” Gu Yunjue frowned. “Should I give him something sweet to balance it? If he makes a fuss and the old man finds out, I’ll not only have to live in the dorms but also be sent to board overseas.”
Li Xun relaxed, slouching back on the sofa. “Just give him some money directly. That’s what we all do. Money settles everything, and you won’t have to worry about him clinging to you.”
“Shen Qingyan isn’t a commodity,” Gu Yunjue said displeased, though he agreed. “In that case, I’ll transfer him some money.”
Gu Yunjue fiddled with his phone, carefully reading some legal terms before adding the word “gift.”
This way, Shen Qingyan wouldn’t have to worry about him taking the money back.
Gu Yunjue noticed that as soon as he sent the money, it was accepted within three seconds.
“Li Xun, I think Shen Qingyan is quite satisfied with me,” Gu Yunjue nodded. “He’s been waiting for my message.”
Li Xun smiled and sat up straight, glancing at Gu Yunjue’s phone. “He seems quite interested in your money.”
And here he thought this would be some formidable opponent. How disappointing.
Regarding Li Xun’s words, Gu Yunjue replied indifferently, “This money is also a part of me. If Shen Qingyan is interested in the money, he’s interested in me.”
Li Xun felt complicated. “Yunjue, I think you should have gone to school with us back then.”
Instead of receiving that military-style education. Gu Yunjue’s understanding of relationships was completely different from normal people.
But precisely because of this, there was an opportunity to take advantage.
“What do you mean?” Gu Yunjue looked at Li Xun with displeasure. “Didn’t you only score around 300 on the college entrance exam? That’s just half of my score. If I had been with you all, heh.”
Li Xun quickly smiled apologetically. “Alright, alright, Young Master Gu, Scholar Gu, I was wrong. By the way, has Shen Qingyan replied to you? He wouldn’t just take the money and ignore you, would he?”
Gu Yunjue recalled Shen Qingyan’s obedient appearance. Despite being older, he looked incredibly innocent.
Gu Yunjue’s face darkened. “If he wants to graduate properly, he won’t do anything unnecessary.”
Li Xun checked his phone and stretched lazily, suddenly smiling. “It’s too boring here. Yunjue, I’m hungry. Let’s go get food.”
“We just ate two hours ago,” Gu Yunjue said, not understanding. “Go by yourself if you want.”
Li Xun stood up. “Don’t be like that. It would be weird if I went alone. There’s a new hotpot restaurant near your school. Let’s go together.”
“Fine.”
In the hotpot restaurant, Mu Weiyun was half-full when he looked around and whispered, “Qingyan, I think I see God Gu, and there’s a guy with him. Want to go catch him in the act?”
As he spoke, Mu Weiyun stood up and moved to sit with Shen Qingyan on the opposite side. “He’s so handsome! Did he come to find you?”
Shen Qingyan froze and followed Mu Weiyun’s gaze. Sure enough, he saw Gu Yunjue with a dark expression, being coaxed into sitting down by a guy next to him.
Who was that person beside him?
“That guy next to God Gu must be his friend Li Xun, right?” Mu Weiyun sighed. “He doesn’t look very straight. Qingyan, want to go stake your claim?”
Shen Qingyan was surprised. “How do you even know his name? And he looks pretty straight to me?”
“Of course, it’s because we all pay attention to Gu Yunjue,” Mu Weiyun said, bobbing his head. “As for his good friend Li Xun, his roommate told us. The guy’s loaded. He treated their whole dorm to dinner on the first day.”
Shen Qingyan felt complicated. “You’re wasting your talents not being a paparazzi.”
“I’m doing this for your own good!” Mu Weiyun argued. “So, are you going over or not? But they both seem like tops. They couldn’t possibly be hooking up with each other, right?”
Shen Qingyan couldn’t take it anymore. “I’m still eating even if you’re full. Military Advisor, please go back to your seat!”
“You never gain weight no matter what you eat, so of course you can eat whatever,” Mu Weiyun grumbled as he sat back down. “Should I go say hi?”
But then he lost his nerve. “Never mind. Gods should be admired from afar.”
Meanwhile, God Gu Yunjue was staring at Shen Qingyan with a dark expression.
He’d thought this timid, soft senior would obediently come over when he saw him.
But no!
“Is he really that hungry?” Gu Yunjue said unhappily. “Why does he keep eating meat? It’s not healthy to not eat vegetables!”
Li Xun choked. “Yunjue, I thought you didn’t notice them.”
Gu Yunjue gave Li Xun a cold look. “You brought me here because Shen Qingyan was here, didn’t you?”
“Just creating a chance encounter,” Li Xun said casually. “After taking your money, he came here for hotpot. Yunjue, this place costs over 400 yuan per person.”
Gu Yunjue looked at Li Xun in surprise. “Are you out of money? You don’t even have 900 yuan?”
Is that really the point?
Li Xun felt gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he stood up. Before walking toward Shen Qingyan’s table, he winked at Gu Yunjue. “Yunjue, there are many things you can’t do conveniently. Let me help you.”
Without waiting for Gu Yunjue’s reaction, he walked straight to Shen Qingyan’s table and sat across from him.
Mu Weiyun, who sat beside them, drew in a sharp breath.
Li Xun’s smile froze slightly.
What was up with Shen Qingyan’s roommate? Why was he reacting like this?
“You’re here to make me leave so I won’t be a third wheel, right?” Mu Weiyun suddenly stood up, staring intensely at Li Xun. “Xiongdi, I get it!”
Li Xun: “What are you doing?!”
Li Xun didn’t expect this seemingly frail guy to be so strong. He was dragged away before he could react.
“Uh…” Shen Qingyan stared at the scene, dumbfounded.
He watched blankly as Gu Yunjue walked toward him, holding a plate of bright green vegetables.
Shen Qingyan: “You…”
“Eat all of this,” Gu Yunjue dumped the plate of vegetables into the clear soup pot with a cold face. “You can’t leave until you finish it!”
Shen Qingyan suddenly remembered Mu Weiyun’s words about Gu Yunjue possibly having certain tendencies.
It seemed true, but who would force someone to eat vegetables?
“Why are you staring at me? The vegetables are cooked,” Gu Yunjue said darkly, his tone gloomy. “If you don’t finish them, I’ll hit you.”
Shen Qingyan: “…Oh.”
Damn! So attractive, he liked it so much!
