Chapter 168 -89 It’s Time to Fall in Love_3
Being the center of attention is just the appearance, independence is the essence, and she saw this very clearly.
Is it possible that Su Huai was overthinking things, losing himself in reading comprehension?
Not likely, because even leaping logic follows some logic.
In order to confirm, Su Huai asked again, “So, in elite schools like yours, do peers realize very early the truth that ‘one’s own abilities are fundamental, and friends and connections are merely the icing on the cake’?”
“Yes.”
Gu Jiuyue’s lips curved slightly, her voice also fluctuated a bit, evidently pleased.
——because communicating with Su Huai was smooth, without much effort.
Seeing that she had no intention of explaining further, Su Huai had no choice but to summarize for her, “So the hardworking ones are particularly diligent, focusing on their own growth, not making many friends.
The ones who don’t make an effort are worthless; they’re not worth winning over, and can only flock together with similar fair-weather friends to play…
In your school, do you evaluate friends based on their background and personality, with the initial intention being rather utilitarian?”
“Right!”
Gu Jiuyue nodded vigorously, then, without any apparent reason, moved a bit closer to Su Huai, snapping her clear, bright eyes at Gou Huai’s profile.
Suddenly, she gave a compliment, “You are so smart!”
For the first time, Su Huai felt a sense of shame and declined the honeyed words, “Not as smart as you.”
He had been reborn from such a ripe old age and had cheated; now, he was just barely able to keep up with Gu Jiuyue’s train of thought.
It’s not hard to imagine the vast gap that existed between them at their actual ages.
The education that the second-generation rich receive… tsk tsk!
Of course, personal talent is still very important.
If you pay attention to those internet-active rich second-generations, like Wang Sicong, He Youjun, Fang Yuan, Zhou Yangqing, Qin Fen, Cai Wangjia, Zhang Kangyang, etcetera, you can actually feel a clear difference in ability.
Family can only determine the base height, but the upper limit is always carved out by individual abilities.
And Gu Jiuyue’s personal qualities were top-notch among all the second-generations.
If it hadn’t been for the illness delaying her so much, Su Huai didn’t dare to think about how much she could have achieved.
But now…
You are mine… my Little Gold Mine!
“So, you don’t like making friends because you dislike their utilitarian nature?” Su Huai continued to delve deeper into the conversation.
“Yes.”
Gu Jiuyue nodded lightly, replying calmly:
“My family always encourages me to make more friends, but those insincere concerns don’t provide warmth, and they even carry a strange kind of malice… They are always so presumptuous.”
Alright, this is a soul soaked in sadness.
Su Huai felt like he might have found the reason for her external coldness and self-imposed isolation.
Gou Huai keenly asked, “Do you hate hospitals a lot?”
Gu Jiuyue looked up in surprise, “How did you guess?”
Gou Huai sighed sadly, “A long illness makes the patient’s child helpless… you witnessed all that too soon…”
“…”
Gu Jiuyue fell silent, her eyes growing wide, pupils suddenly contracting.
It was the first time she showed such strong shock.
She felt that Su Huai was somewhat wicked, yet shared a strange rapport with her, as if able to sense her most genuine emotions.
After a long silence, she finally spoke.
“I have indeed seen many departures and deaths, and actually, death is not the scariest thing, rather… it is those numbing and exhausting things.”
Su Huai turned his head to glance at her, then spoke in a tone that was casual as if making small talk, “The things you’ve seen are indeed real, but that kind of reality often happens only in the last part of one’s life.
In fact, you are at the stage where your life has just started.
Your family wants you to make more friends not because they think those friends can be of any real help, but because they hope you can focus on this stage of your life right now, to experience the joy that your age should bring.
The classmates in the noble school not being sincere is not your fault. Aren’t our big data class classmates stupidly transparent?
Since you can discern, why not choose some like-minded people to be friends with? For those who come with ulterior motives, if you don’t pay them any attention, isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”
“Ha! You make it sound so easy!”
She laughed sarcastically, her emotions finally causing ripples.
“What kind of person is considered to be harboring ulterior motives? You’re taking such good care of me, aren’t you also doing it with ulterior motives?”
So smart!
Su Huai didn’t think he could keep deceiving her forever. Teens who are abnormally psychological and lean towards self-isolation are often more sensitive than ordinary people.
Add to that her special experiences…
Su Huai didn’t argue, just replied lazily, “At least I’m not after your family’s wealth or your beauty. You’re so smart, why don’t you guess what ulterior motive I have? If you guess right, I’ll agree unconditionally to do anything for you.”
“I’m not interested.”

At the critical moment, Gu Jiuyue drew back again.
Su Huai’s ploy to coax the enemy into opening up had failed.
However, he didn’t feel much disappointment. Being able to talk to such an extent today had already exceeded his initial expectations.
No rush, having breached her defenses was good enough; there would be more time…
“Then forget it.”
Su Huai indifferently lifted his chin, “Lead the way up front; I don’t know how to get to your grandmother’s place.”
It was a very normal thing to say, but Gu Jiuyue felt something strange about it, a thread of annoyance sneaking into her heart.
You… why are you so serious one moment and so listless the next?
“Su Huai, you’re a bit annoying.”
She was serious, but Su Huai just laughed carelessly, “Why?”
“Because you’ve upset me.”
“Can I use something to coax you back into a good mood?”
