"Junior, you're dressed so handsomely today, did you know I was coming?" Little witch Nono dragged her suitcase and came up to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was stunned, not understanding why Nuonuo was here.
He stood up from his chair: "Senior, why aren't you in class at school? You've come all this way... What are you up to? Are there dragons around here?"
Nono placed her suitcase to the side, then sat down next to Gu Ran on the bench where he was sitting: "There aren't that many dragons. I flew all the way from Chicago just to find you."
"Looking for me?" Gu Ran blinked. "You're not going to reject Caesar's proposal and be with me instead, are you? No way, senior, I have a fiancée, and I love her very much..."
"Get lost, you narcissist!" Nono flicked Gu Ran's head, about to say something, when suddenly the voice of a grouper came from her suitcase:
"Xiaoqiang! Xiaoqiang! What's wrong with you, Xiaoqiang!"
Xiaoqiang! You can't die! Ahhh!
Then came the sound of gongs and drums, which sounded like a funeral procession or a wedding procession.
"Damn, I forgot to remove the batteries!" Nono opened her suitcase, then pulled out a black, spherical alarm clock from the back and removed its batteries.
This is the most annoying alarm clock ever. If it weren't in a suitcase, it would run all over the house while ringing, and you wouldn't be able to catch it if you didn't get up.
Gu Ran knew that this alarm clock was a birthday gift that Lu Mingfei gave to Nuonuo this year.
He said, "It seems that the senior student really likes this alarm clock; she even takes it with her when she goes on long trips."
"After all, it was the first birthday present my henchman gave me. I was afraid I wouldn't wake up when I was out, so I had no choice but to bring it with me," Nono said casually.
"So...why did you come to see me, senior?"
"I have something to ask you."
"ask me?"
"Tell me... should I accept Caesar's marriage proposal?"
Gu Ran looked at Nuonuo's delicate face, unable to discern her expression.
"Why are you asking me?" Gu Ran looked away, trying to avoid eye contact with Nuonuo.
Because I was afraid that her profile might reveal something.
"You give me the feeling that you knew something beforehand," Nuonuo said, staring at Gu Ran. "From the dragon invasion of the mountaintop campus to the Nibelungen incident in the capital last month, you remained calm and composed without any panic... Just who are you?"
"I am who I am, a firework of a different color!" Gu Ran laughed it off, covering up the mistake.
Nono didn't delve into it further: "I left school this time to go on a mission, um, a secret mission. It might be a while, and they might not be able to contact me. These past few days, Caesar found a place and proposed to me in person. I haven't said yes yet; I'm still considering it."
Ever since Caesar rejected the Nibelungen plan arranged for him by his family in Italy, he has been proposing to Nono via text message.
Later in Beijing, he originally planned to propose to her in a grand manner at the Summer Palace, but Gu Ran intervened and Susie saved Nuonuo, so there was no 'threatening proposal' from Caesar in the water.
After the Beijing subway incident, Caesar proposed to Nono again in person, but not in such a grand manner as at the Summer Palace.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei is unaware of this matter.
However, the paparazzi at Kassel College already know the news, and it won't be long before their news reports appear on the Night Watchers forum.
Gu Ran pondered for a while before saying quite seriously, "I hope that you will accept Caesar's proposal out of love, and not for some ulterior motive."
Nono paused, her bright eyes revealing a sharp glint: "You know?"
Gu Ran shook her head: "No, I don't know. I only know that everyone who comes to Kassel College has a reason to say goodbye to the past. When you open the door to Kassel, the way back disappears. From beginning to end, there is only one path. However, senior, don't forget, 'We often say that there is more than one path, it just depends on whether you are willing to choose it.'"
The last sentence is from the admission letter from Kassel College.
Nono was silent for a moment, then said, "But I've already made my choice."
Gu Ran said, "It's always a woman's right to back out. Haven't you seen those women who accepted dowries and then accused men of rape? You could learn from them."
Nono playfully slapped his arm: "Am I that kind of tasteless woman?"
Gu Ran smiled and continued:
"If you accept Caesar's proposal, I won't be able to call you 'Nono' anymore. I'll have to call you Madam or Ms. Chen Motong. You'll also go from a little witch to the matriarch of the Gattuso family, receiving socialites from all over the world every day. Many designers will present their new products to you, and they'll be incredibly grateful if they can get your approval."
"This kind of life, where you can see the end from the beginning, is really boring and terrifying." Nono thought with a wry smile, feeling a little irritated.
But she had no choice, for that... unspeakable reason.
Often, that reason is called fate, and she can't escape it.
"Senior, although I'm not your backup plan or your savior, but... if you ever feel like giving up and need someone to save you, you can come to me. I'll bring Lu Mingfei to rescue you. Oh, and there's also Senior Sister Susie. Let her use her beauty to seduce Chu Zihang, and also get involved with Caesar and Professor Manstein. With the seven of us, even if the Dragon King kidnaps you, we can still rescue you!"
Nono listened to Gu Ran's words, looked into his eyes, and understood that he was serious.
Her profiling has never failed.
Nono suddenly smiled: "Why would the Dragon King kidnap me? It's not a fairy tale that a dragon kidnaps a beautiful princess! Besides... forget about Lu Mingfei, he's so useless, I'll have to go and save him."
Gu Ran smiled to himself, thinking that without Lu Mingfei, he would have died at the bottom of the Three Gorges long ago.
"And why did we invite Professor Manstein?" Nono asked, puzzled.
"I heard from Professor Guderian that he had an affair with your mother..."
Nono stared with her bright eyes: "Who the hell is talking nonsense and spreading rumors!"
"I know it was a joke!" Gu Ran laughed. "Anyway, senior, you can rest assured on your journey..."
"Pah, pah, pah, only then can you travel in peace!" Nono rolled her eyes at him, then stood up. "Anyway... thank you in advance."
This is to thank him for his promise.
"You're welcome." Gu Ran also stood up to say goodbye.
At this moment, Nuonuo opened her arms and took the initiative to hug Gu Ran.
Chapter 351 Women are one after another
Gu Ran didn't think much of it and simply gave Nuonuo a polite hug.
Nono has always been a crazy girl. She even flirts with big men like Finger. She had a boyfriend in her class when she was in kindergarten.
She gently hugged Gu Ran from behind and whispered playfully in his ear, "I saw your girlfriend peeking at you from the window."
Gu Ran gently patted her slender shoulder: "I noticed it a long time ago."
To be precise, the little fairy had been staring at Nono ever since he appeared.
Not only the little fairy, but also quite a few boys around were watching this side.
After all, Nono is so eye-catching; it's hard not to attract men's attention with her red hair.
When Nuonuo took the initiative to hug him, many men stared wide-eyed, thinking that being handsome really allows you to do whatever you want. How could an ugly man possibly win the favor of a beautiful woman?
This world is all about looks, and the harsh reality has shattered the dreams of many young men.
The person with the widest eyes not far away was Wang Mengyuan. This freshman girl had been staring at Gu Ran all day. When she saw Nuonuo appear, she felt that the world was really unfair. Why wasn't she the best-looking person in the world?
Then, when she saw them hugging, she felt that the world was really unfair. Why didn't any handsome guys hug her?
In short, many people around the world feel that there are all sorts of unfairness.
"Well then, see you later." Nono happily let go of Gu Ran, and looked at his outfit. "You look pretty handsome in that suit and sneakers."
"Why don't you buy one for Caesar too?"
"Caesar wouldn't dress like that."
"Just like he doesn't put ketchup on his pasta?"
Nuonuo laughed heartily, then waved to Gu Ran again, dragging her suitcase and striding away.
With her gone, it's estimated that we won't see her for quite a while.
Gu Ran sat back down on the bench, glanced up at the classroom upstairs, and saw a small head peeking out before quickly shrinking back.
Play whack-a-mole with me here!
"Gu Ran, what are you doing here?" Not far away, a girl with an outstanding temperament ran towards Gu Ran.
Gu Ran turned around and saw Tang Shishi!
Tang Shishi wore a brown coat, a black skirt, flesh-colored stockings, and knee-high leather boots, giving her a sophisticated and intellectual look.
She is 1.65 meters tall, but when she wears high heels, she is almost 1.75 meters tall, which makes her figure look even slimmer and more upright.
"I'm waiting for my girlfriend to finish class." Gu Ran asked curiously, "What about you? What are you doing here too?"
Tang Shishi sat down on the bench next to Gu Ran. She smiled brightly and said, "I plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam here next year, so I came to take a look."
"Really!" Gu Ran was happy for her when he saw her cheerful demeanor.
When I first met her, she always had a furrowed brow and a worried look on her face, like a flower that never sees the sun.
Now, without the shadow of the Zhang family of Nanyang, she is like a rose facing the sun, basking in its warmth.
The two talked about what had happened recently. Gu Ran didn't know how Zhang Wanjun had arranged things for Tang Shishi and her daughter, so she asked.
Tang Shishi said, "The Huaxia Clan arranged an apartment for me in Shanghai. They asked me about my future plans, and I said I wanted to go to school. So they arranged my school registration and household registration for me."
"What about your mother?"
“My mom and I still have some savings, so we used them to rent a shop and continue to run the flower shop. She likes flowers, so we continued.”
"Is there anything you're not used to here?" Gu Ran asked.
Tang Shishi laughed and said, "It's alright. There's no difference in eating habits or anything. It's just that some of the older aunties in Shanghai are a bit gossipy. My mom is still getting used to it. Compared to the days when we were always on edge, things are much better now."
"That's good." Gu Ran was actually worried that the mother and daughter would feel homesick after leaving their hometown, but it turned out that they didn't. Perhaps Singapore is an immigrant country, so people don't have a strong sense of belonging.
Furthermore, as long as you are with your family, home is wherever you are.
“My mom’s flower shop is nearby,” Tang Shishi said, taking a business card holder from her handbag and handing him a business card from the flower shop. “You get a 20% discount on flowers with this business card!”
"So filial, even helping his mother advertise." Gu Ran accepted the business card. "I'll go buy a bouquet of flowers later to appease my girlfriend."
"How about I take you there now? I'll pick out some flowers for you." With that, Tang Shishi grabbed Gu Ran's wrist and hurriedly tried to take him to the flower shop.
Gu Ran glanced upstairs and, with his white-eyed X-ray vision, could see Su Xiaoqiang's jealous little expression hidden inside the wall.
"Never mind, I have to wait for my girlfriend to finish class." Gu Ran pointed to the teaching building and rejected Tang Shishi.
"Oh..." Tang Shishi pursed her lips, seemingly a little disappointed.
"By the way, I've now... joined the Zhang family clan as well," Tang Shishi said softly.
