Quick Transmigration: I'm so angry I could cry! The male lead has gone off-topic again!

Chapter 539 The Control Group 17 in a Sweet Novel of Unrequited Love

While they were happy, Yu You was very sad.

She sat on a bench by the school path, the bouquet of roses beside her, alone, shedding tears.

She finally mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to Gu Yun, wanting to bravely give it a try.

But he apologized.

He said he has someone he likes.

Although she had long been prepared to be rejected, how could someone as ordinary as her and as dazzling as Gu Yun possibly like her?

But even at the moment of confession, she couldn't help but hold onto a sliver of hope, and after being rejected, she was still very sad.

She has been crying for a long time.

The moment Gu Yun rejected her and turned to leave, she couldn't hold back anymore. She lowered her head and almost buried her face in the bouquet, hiding her tears in the fragrance of the flowers.

She cried for a while, then, afraid of being surrounded and laughed at, she found a secluded path to sit down and continued crying.

She didn't know how long she sat there, crying until her eyes were red, swollen, and painful before her emotions calmed down a little.

There is a main road outside this tree-lined path. There are usually not many pedestrians here, and even fewer people walk on the path, but a few people still occasionally pass by on the main road.

Yu You was about to go back to her dorm when she overheard people on the main road talking about the confession wall and mentioning Gu Yun.

Ever since she fell in love with Gu Yun at first sight, she couldn't help but pay attention whenever she heard someone mention his name.

She took out her phone and checked the confession wall, only to find that someone had taken a picture of her confessing and posted it on the confession wall.

However, the original poster's guess is far from the truth.

Having a crush on someone means that even the slightest connection with them will make you secretly happy for a long time.

Although Yu You had just been rejected by Gu Yun, seeing her and Gu Yun in the same photo and being discussed together by everyone, she felt a bittersweet feeling at the same time.

If only things were as the original poster guessed.

She couldn't help but read through everyone's comments. Because of the original poster's subjective speculation, most of the previous comments seemed to suggest that she and Gu Yun must have a very close relationship.

Even though she knew it was all fake, Yu You still felt much better.

However, her good mood didn't last long, because she soon saw the comment left by Gu Yun himself.

[You already have someone you like, please do not spread rumors.]

Yu You stared at that sentence, her hand trembled, and her phone fell onto her lap. The tears she had just stopped started flowing again.

Seeing Gu Yun so eager to sever ties with her, the little bit of smugness she had just felt turned into embarrassment.

Is he really that afraid that the person he likes will misunderstand?

That's natural.

In Gu Yun's opinion, Yun Qing was timid and would turn around and run away if she was frightened.

Even if he planned to explain things to her properly, it's still unreasonable for him to pursue her while simultaneously having a scandal with someone else.

What if Yunqing hears too much about it and actually thinks he's having an affair with another girl?

She'll probably shrink back into her shell and avoid him, and she'll probably even cry secretly.

Therefore, even though Gu Yun was in a hurry to find Yun Qing after figuring out what had happened, he still took the time to post this comment to stop the rumors from spreading further.

Most people are fairly normal. Gu Yun has already given his own account, so they won't pair him up with Yu You anymore.

Moreover, those who are obsessed with looks think they don't look good together at all.

Even if you can only see half of her face, you can tell that Yu You isn't very pretty, and because of her clothes, she looks rather drab overall.

Gu Yun happens to be exceptionally beautiful and has a wonderful temperament.

In their view, if these two really had something going on, wouldn't that be like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung?

Moreover, Gu Yun's abilities are also outstanding.

Even freshmen from other departments have heard of this amazing person in the Computer Science department. Not to mention his numerous honors, he is said to have already achieved a small goal through his own abilities.

Rumor has it that they have collaborations with their school.

Such an amazing person, yet you can still often see him teaching at school.

They're enjoying university life while accomplishing great things; it's impossible to be envious of them.

So it's no wonder that in the original story, the female lead felt so inferior and insecure around him.

The disparity between the two characters naturally placed Gu Yun in a superior position in the relationship, making her the so-called guiding lover.

He always seemed to be in control of the female lead, and he was quite self-centered. Whether before or after he realized he was falling for her, he always acted at his own pace, teasing her whenever he wanted and pushing her whenever he wanted.

On the bright side, he's a guiding lover; the female lead did indeed become a better person after being with him.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this aloof school heartthrob doesn't really respect the female lead. From the beginning, he never treated her as an equal and found it difficult to empathize with her feelings.

Such scandals weren't uncommon in the original storyline.

The fact that the male lead could deny something when the female lead cautiously asked already shows that he cares about her quite a bit.

As for the rumors circulating, given his aloof personality, he wouldn't care.

Therefore, the female lead would always feel secretly happy and sweet after he explained something, but would also feel depressed and insecure after hearing those rumors again and again.

The post became even more lively because of Gu Yun's appearance.

Many people are curious about who his crush is, and there are also a lot of people who worship Gu Shen and shower him with compliments.

However, just as they finished praising Gu Yun, another post went viral, also about her.

This post is a bit... how should I put it?

Anyway, the comment section was a chaotic and lively scene.

[I don't believe it! This couldn't possibly be Gu Shen!]

[I, Gu Shen, am a high-class beauty; I would never be such a goofball!]

[Stop struggling, this is Gu Yun! His clothes are the same as in the previous post.]

[+1, Although half of her face was blurred in that post, it was still instantly recognizable as Gu Yun. So, the person in this post wearing the same clothes and with such a striking resemblance to Gu Yun in profile must also be Gu Yun!]

[So what triggered Gu Shen's reaction? Why is he so devoutly worshipping two Peppa Pigs?]

[Where do you worship Peppa Pig? My guardian spirit is squatting, not kneeling!]

Regardless of the arguments, everyone agrees that Gu Yun's behavior is strange.

This behavior is clearly inconsistent with the impression he usually leaves on everyone.

This is hardly something a cool and aloof school heartthrob should do.

[Didn't you guys notice there was another girl next to Gu Yun?]

[I just mentioned in my last post that I had someone I liked, and here I am, squatting on the edge of the playground with a girl, praying to Peppa Pig...]

[No! I don't believe it! Even if Gu Shen were in a relationship, he'd be an aloof, unattainable beauty. How could he turn into a goofball!]

Is it possible that he's not a goofball, but just love-struck?

[If that's the case, then I'm definitely shipping them! The aloof school heartthrob worshipping Peppa Pig for love—that's true love!]

[I'm just curious, what does Gu Shen's girlfriend look like?]

[They look so good together from behind!]

[Are you crazy about shipping this couple? You can tell they're a good match just by looking at their backs?]

The photo was a bit dark and was taken from the side and rear, so it only captured a small part of Gu Yun's profile. The poster didn't even bother to add a mosaic.

Yun Qing didn't even show her face; Gu Yun blocked her view, leaving only a glimpse of her back.

Many people recognized Gu Yunlai, but no one knew who the girl he was blocking was.

Of course, this excludes those who know about the relationship between Gu Yun and Yun Qing.

The two people involved were unaware of the excitement on the confession wall and were still lingering on the playground, clearly not wanting to leave until the very last minute.

Their hands were still stubbornly clasped together, leaving only one hand available.

So Yun Qing used her free hand to carry the handbag, while Gu Yun used her free hand to slowly pack her things.

There wasn't much to pack up; we just put the lanterns in bags, the remaining ribbons in bags, and blew out the candles and put them in bags.

In the end, only two Peppa Pig balloons remained.

Yun Qing suddenly said, "I think this balloon is leaking air."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun actually took a serious look to see if the two balloons had shrunk.

Then Yunqing said, "Let's wait until it's completely leaked before we leave."

Gu Yun: ...

He couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to pat her head. "It's late, you need to go back to your dorm. It's not safe outside."

Yun Qing watched him pick up the balloon and muttered, "Isn't it you I have here?"

Gu Yun paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, "It's even less safe with me around."

Yun Qing was stunned for a moment, then her face turned bright red instantly. "Let's go... let's go, the dorm is about to close."

She turned and left.

Their hands were still clasped together. Gu Yun was tugged by her and followed her out of the playground.

Yun Qing was so flustered by Gu Yun's words that she was practically steaming, and she even started to move her hands and feet involuntarily.

Gu Yun regretted her rash words and didn't know how to salvage her image. She kept glancing at Yun Qing to see if she was frightened, and didn't even realize that she was being led astray by Yun Qing.

The more he looked at Yun Qing, the hotter her face became, so he could only remain silent and walk forward in silence.

The two walked awkwardly for a while, feeling that something was off, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

Ultimately, it can only be attributed to being too nervous and unaccustomed to holding hands with one's boyfriend/girlfriend for the first time.

Just hold their hand a few more times in the future!
