CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 23 I’M NOT A MONKEY

Not until Gu Yan’s figure vanished into the darkness did Qin Junnan reluctantly withdraw his gaze, murmuring softly, "Gu Yan..."

Back then, the youthful Qin Junnan was proud and aloof, adored by many at school. Yet, Gu Yan was the only one who often ignored him.

At first, he thought she was just trying to catch his attention, but later realized she was rushing to work part-time.

So, he went to the shop where she worked every day, just to say a word to her, to make her look at him directly.

But who would have known, she had no reaction at all.

His interest grew bit by bit, eventually becoming uncontrollable, but until he was sure Gu Yan felt something for him, he wouldn’t say a word.

It went on like this for two years, and he was about to graduate.

Originally, he wanted to express his feelings at graduation and had arranged to meet her, but that day, she didn’t show up.

At the time, he was just a young lad, his pride couldn’t take the blow, so the next day, he accepted his family’s plan to go abroad.

Thinking, perhaps it was just the allure of the unattainable. As the favored son of the heavens, no one had ever treated him this way, he just couldn’t come to terms with it.

But over these five years, despite meeting all kinds of beautiful women, none of them impressed him. The longer it went on, the more he missed Gu Yan.

The older he became, the more he realized he truly had feelings for Gu Yan.

This time returning to the country, he originally intended to find her, but then unexpectedly encountered her by chance on the roadside today.

Qin Junnan thought, maybe this is the opportunity given by heaven.

Gu Yan, this time, I won’t let go easily.

Resolute in his decision, Qin Junnan took one more look in the direction where Gu Yan disappeared before driving away.

When Gu Yan got home, she still felt a bit light-headed, her face flushed and hot.

She couldn’t have imagined seeing Qin Junnan again after five years, and even more surprising, he remembered her!

He was still as gentle and charming as before.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but smile foolishly, so handsome!

Five years ago, on the day Qin Junnan graduated, he had asked her out, but that day Mrs. Gu happened to come looking for her, and she couldn’t leave. At that time, life was difficult, and she didn’t even have extra money to buy a phone, so she missed it.

The next day when she went to find him, others said he had already gone abroad.

At that time, Gu Yan must have been frustrated and blamed herself.

Not being able to see him before he went abroad was truly regrettable, perhaps they would never meet again.

Who would have thought that years later, heaven would still be kind to her, allowing them to meet again.

She never dared to ask for much, but being able to see him again made her indescribably excited.

"Oh my god, oh my god, what should I do, I’m so excited!" Gu Yan spun around the small living room non-stop, unable to cool the heat on her face; pressing her hand against it only made it feel hotter.

Gu Yan ran into the bathroom, splashing her face with cool water to feel a bit cooler.

She looked up, seeing herself in the mirror, like a lascivious monkey...

Pah pah pah, I’m not a monkey, I’m not a monkey, I’m not a monkey!

Chanting this silently three times, Gu Yan then dried her face and went back to the bedroom to get clothes for a bath.

After showering, she flopped directly onto the bed.

The phone by the bedside suddenly rang, Gu Yan picked it up to see the word "senior" flashing on the screen, and felt her heart skip a beat.

She carefully picked up, "Hello?"

"Gu Yan, it’s me." The voice on the other end was gentle and magnetic, making Gu Yan bubble with pink hearts.

"I, I know." Gu Yan immediately noticed how unsteady her voice sounded.
