Chapter 294 - Gu Zhen's confession

Name:To Love You Again Author:Avalondra
A strong breeze passed by. Teasing Song Xuantin who was played by Gu Zhen.

???

!!!

What happened? They just walked for a bit... and she already sold herself?

Song Xuantin's eyes were swirling. She was played!

Did she just sell herself without knowing?

"In other words, you are stuck with me for a year. Well, minus the school days. So the debt effectiveness will be extended after we graduate in high school. We would also be separated in college due to different majors. Since we mostly have two days off a week in college, then the rate of payback is 48 hours per week. There are four weeks in a month, so that is 192 hours. In a year, that is around 2000 hours. With four years in university, that will be around 8,000 hours..." Gu Zhen continued to count, his eyeglasses flashed and the aura of a Xueba emanated from his body. 

Ding! The learning god aura dealt -10,000 critical damage towards the learning sc.u.m!

The soul of the learning sc.u.m Song Xuantin was impacted and was blown away towards the outer space.

The chanting akin to indecipherable ancient Buddhist scriptures in her ears continued.

"...Then, I have 2,000 hours left. That would be paid after college. If we say we can meet in weekends, then you'll be able to pay fully after one year from college graduation," Gu Zhen's eyes lit up in this calculation. 

Haha, the good thing with calculating debts with the illiterates were that they were so easy to fool into your bidding, and they would not even realize whether you have moved a black hand behind the calculations.

"It means that you are stuck with me until you graduate from the university and until the first year of your work." Gu Zhen looked proud and happy with his calculations. "That will be six years!"

"...!!!" 

Song Xuantin was stupefied. She did not give a damn about calculations. Heck, she never even rose up from her perpetual F score in math.

Mathematics was her nemesis in her entire student life! 

...And maybe sciences... 

However, what he said by the end made Song Xuantin sense that something was odd. 

Afterwards, she realized one thing.

"…!"

Her eyes widened.

Gu Zhen… still wanted to spend time with her even when they graduate from high school, from college, or even when they were already working in different fields!

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Her heart suddenly pounded loudly that she felt like she was hyperventilating.

Her Gu Zhen... wanted to spend more time with her? In every moment of his free time?

She felt her cheeks start to burn. Her heart felt warm and sweet at the same time.

Kyaaaa!!! Ah ah ah ah!!!

Dang, of course, she was willing to stick to him for the rest of her life!

"..."

Sensing that she was uncharacteristically being quiet, Gu Zhen turned to look at her.

She looked at him brightly, her eyes containing starlights in them. Her cheeks glowed with rosy color. Innocent eyes that looked at him with obvious devotion, supple cheeks, and charming face made his breath stop for a moment.

His heart skipped a beat and started to race. He looked away.

"...Are you that willing to sell yourself? Why are you not saying anything?" Gu Zhen said embarrassedly after recalling his clumsy way of 'scamming' Song Xuantin to be with him all the way to college and beyond. "That's why you have to think carefully first before saying anything. You will be easily scammed if you just let your mouth run randomly." 

Although he said that with his head turned away, his ears partially covered by his messy hair were reddened.

Song Xuantin happily pouted, her face still shining brightly. "Tsk. You don't need to add those words." She thought of something and immediately took out her camera.

She coughed to cover up her overexcitement and bubbling joy.

With a 'hehe', she said brightly, "Since you are so considerate to do the math for me, then I guess I will have no choice but to comply. Just in case, as proof of our agreement, I will save the necessary evidence." 

She then speedily tinkered with the camera and put the video on.

"Ahem, ahem. I, Song Xuantin, solemnly agree to spend the rest of my life—pei!—to spend 10,000 hours with Gu Zhen. I will accompany him during our remaining days in high school, all throughout the university days, and even when we start working in our own fields. If I break this oath, then may the heavens punish me... by painting my nails black? Yup."

"..." Gu Zhen looked at her disbelievingly.

"Your turn." Song Xuantin excitedly pointed the camera at Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen squirmed a little while holding tightly on the bag hung over his shoulder. He glanced awkwardly at the camera.

"I—" What the hell was I supposed to say?

Then, his eyes strayed upwards and looked at the vibrant face of the person who was focused on recording his actions with the camera.

Song Xuantin's excited and happy smile was still on her lips. It was already a bit late in the afternoon and the warm rays of the sun danced behind her. Her phoenix eyes looked very captivating, full of life and energy. The shape of her face, her red lips, her white skin... and the soft and shapely curves of her body seemed to glow. 

She had the beauty of a seductive fox with eyes as innocent as a doe. This contrast had always attracted everyone's attention towards her.

But right now, surrounded by the verdant nature and the lake in front of them, she was simply as charming and adorable as a bubbly fairy smiling towards her most favorite flower.

Gu Zhen could not help but stare at her for a long time.

...Song Xuantin was so lovely. 

He opened his mouth. 

Slowly, he said his heartfelt thoughts.

"I, Gu Zhen, likes Song Xuantin."

The summer wind blew through the tree tops into the lake, carrying with them the scent of youth reminiscent of spring.
