When one likes someone, they tend to want to maintain their image

As the two exited the concert hall, the driver was already waiting outside. Gu Ran followed Su Nan into the car and cautiously asked, "Is your mother angry?"

As soon as Gu Ran returned home, he lay back on the sofa with his belly protruding.

Hmm. Gu Ran nodded vigorously. Of course, it won't happen again; when she first got off the car, she almost froze to death, yet He Qingqing insisted on lingering for quite a while.

He Qingqing was very happy and raised an eyebrow at Zhao Guran, saying, "Fortunately, my brother Liang is not ugly"

Just as she was about to leave, Su Nan suddenly paused, took off her trench coat, draped it over Gu Ran, and frowned: "You didn't bring a coat?"

The anniversary celebration gala was held in the school gymnasium, a vast venue that can accommodate tens of thousands of people

Su Nan smiled and said, "Why do I feel like you are not paying attention?"

Sunan gently touched her hair, avoided her question, and simply said: "It's nothing, she will understand."

Gu Ran felt quite frustrated. She touched the fake scalp on her head and simply walked over, pretending to be nonchalant as she asked, "What play are you performing?"

What surprised Gu Ran was that these two individuals, who excelled in music, did not perform a duet but instead chose the most ordinary of plays

"Aunt Su came back just to listen to your concert, are you happy?" He Qingqing blinked and said

She was instantly captivated by Su Nan at first sight. She initially wanted to rush over to him, but upon recalling her appearance, she quietly retreated to the corner, praying fervently that he would not see her

Gu Ran glanced back, and Su's mother in the room also had a pale face.

Gu Ran lifted her chin and said: "It is 'A Chinese Odyssey'."

You all ... ...

Gu Ran quickly composed herself and smiled, saying, "I am happy!"

Su Nan then slightly curled the corners of his lips: "If you are happy, then be happy; do not show an expression that is unrelated to happiness."

Gu Ran did not watch television either; her thoughts returned to the past, and she thought of He Qingqing

Su Nan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting his mother to appear suddenly. He cleared his throat twice and said, "Mom, why are you back?"

At that time, she felt completely unrestrained and indifferent, until the moment she was seen by Su Nan, when she deeply felt that her insides were filled with regret!

Gu Ran felt embarrassed

Her expression suddenly changed, her gaze falling on Su Nan's hand, hoping that there was no ring on it, but she was disappointed; on his ring finger, there was also a ring that was exactly the same.

Su Nan helped Gu Ran peel a shrimp and placed it in Gu Ran's bowl, saying: "The bigger reason is that I enjoy being alone with you"

Gu Ran saw Su Nan in the background. He was wearing an ancient long gown, looking elegant and handsome. He Qingqing stood beside him, also dressed in ancient male attire, both strikingly handsome.

After a considerable amount of time, Su Nan finally emerged from the room. His complexion was not very good, and he directly took her hand and walked out.

Indeed, as soon as Su Nan saw her, he couldn't help but laugh, clearly having had no expression on his face just moments before, yet he instantly broke character.

The counselor mentioned that it would be quite amusing for a girl to cross-dress as Tang Seng, while the other girls were reluctant to wear a fake scalp and make themselves look unattractive, so Gu Ran was pushed forward for the role

"Are you now avoiding reporters like a celebrity, which is why you came to the private room to eat?" Gu Ran asked as she dipped a slice of beef.

Do I not know whether Su Nan is married or not? Feel free to ask me anything you want to know said Luo Lan, pulling He Qingqing aside with a smile.

"Where to?" Indeed, Su Mama's voice rang out.

Gu Ran could think of nothing else to say but: "Your performance today was excellent"

A single stone can stir up a thousand waves, yet one fears that the difficult challenges still lie ahead

In fact, Zhi Zun Bao is not ugly; he can be considered a handsome man in their College of Literature. She was originally also a candidate for the role of Zi Xia Fairy, but who could have known that Tang Seng needed her more

Before the school anniversary, Gu Ran tried every possible means to find out what play Su Nan and the others were performing, but she could not catch a glimpse of the rehearsal. Unfortunately, she also had to represent her college in a play, leaving her no time to confront him.

The advantage of two people eating hot pot is that all the ingredients are yours, and there is no need to compete for them. The downside is that the joy of having more people is lost, and after a few bites, one feels full, and after a few more bites, one feels stuffed

Gu Ran's mind flashed with ten thousand curses, as expected, the rival's gaze was sharp; despite being in such a state, she was still recognized by her!

"Have you really married Su Nan?" He Qingqing followed her, still somewhat unable to believe it

Gu Ran pouted and said, "Because Zhi Zun Bao is too ugly." After a pause, she turned to Su Nan with a beaming smile and added, "If Zhi Zun Bao were Su Nan, I would definitely play the role of Zi Xia Xian Zi."

Gu Ran was startled by Su Nan's sudden declaration of love, to the extent that she didn't even notice the beef she was picking up with her chopsticks fall to the ground

Su Nan fell silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Ran and said: "Wait for me outside the door, it will only be a little while."

"I can't go now..." Gu Ran mumbled with her head down

Gu Ran immediately fell silent; she was simply digging a pit to bury herself!

Gu Ran suddenly felt a sense of fear; she was afraid that the past few days were merely a dream she had created, and now, someone had discovered this dream of hers and intended to bring her back to reality

Su Nan reserved a private room, and perhaps due to the late hour, the waiter served the dishes quickly. Gu Ran stared at the bottom of the pot, and as soon as it began to boil, she immediately started using her chopsticks

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Su Nan could not help but chuckle, but upon hearing the latter part, he could only purse his lips and remain silent

"Please excuse us, I would like to have a private conversation with my son." Su's mother, being a person of refinement, did not lose her temper upon learning that her son had gotten married without informing her; she merely stated this calmly.

Gu Ran looked at He Qingqing's smile, feeling an intense jealousy that gnawed at her heart. At that time, Su Nan was not yet her boyfriend, so even though she was jealous, she could only silently swallow her bitterness.

Behind the door are Su Nan and Su's mother, and beside them are the voices of He Qingqing and Luo Lan, discussing matters related to their marriage. She had long known that obtaining the marriage certificate so hastily would inevitably lead to a multitude of questions

Naturally, it is to address the major issues of life. Luo Lan interjected with a cheerful smile from the side

Only then did Gu Ran realize that she had been starving for a long time. She had been so nervous earlier that she completely forgot about such an important matter. Her eyes brightened as she followed Su Nan up to the fifth floor

What happened later was absolutely beyond Gu Ran's expectations; she could never have imagined that she would, in front of the entire school, commit an act of indecency against Su Nan

She did not dare to look again and hurriedly turned her head away

At this moment, Gu Ran is wearing a set of monk robes, over which she has draped a red kasaya. On her head, she has wrapped a layer of fake scalp, and in her hand, she holds a staff—indeed, she is portraying Tang Seng.

He indeed did not notice her, after all, her appearance was truly peculiar. However, He Qingqing spotted Gu Ran at a glance. As soon as she saw Gu Ran, she couldn't help but double over with laughter, gleefully tugging at Su Nan's arm, saying: "Hey, isn't that Gu Ran? Gu Ran, why are you hiding from us?"

"Mom, I have married Gu Ran." Before He Qingqing could even ask, Su Nan had already confessed.

She recalled her freshman year, during the centennial celebration of Han University, when each college was required to perform a program. Su Nan and He Qingqing, as the most prominent couple in the School of Finance, were naturally chosen to be the main performers

"Sunan, why did you suddenly postpone the concert?" He Qingqing asked with some confusion

His warmth enveloped her, and she shrank her neck, stammering: "I was too hasty, I forgot..."

Su Nan frowned slightly and said, "What does that expression of yours, as if you have been overly frightened, mean?"

After arriving at the back office, Gu Ran followed Luo Lan into a room first. Inside the room was only Su Nan, who had already changed into a trench coat. Upon seeing her enter, he naturally stepped forward to take her hand and said, "Let's go."

Sunan could not stand the smell of hot pot on his body, so he went to take a shower first

The driver stopped in front of a shopping mall. Before Gu Ran could say anything, Su Nan had already taken her out of the car: "Are you hungry? Let's go eat hot pot"

Luo Lan watched with great interest, feeling as if she were witnessing a splendid performance

What major life event? A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in He Qingqing's heart. She followed Luo Lan's gaze to Gu Ran, and then her eyes fell on Gu Ran's hand, where she immediately noticed the understated yet luxurious ring on Gu Ran's ring finger

Gu Ran nodded and turned to leave the room

"Since it is 'A Chinese Odyssey', why don't you play the role of Zixia Fairy?" He Qingqing laughed happily

Just now, while sitting in the audience, she vaguely felt that there was an additional ring on Su Nan's finger, but she could never have imagined that the two of them actually...

I heard that your concert has been postponed, so I came to take a look

This will not be repeated in the future

As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the people present were quite remarkable

"The Butterfly Lovers." He Qingqing winked at her, looking quite pleased, "With your outfit, you must be performing the journey to the West, right?"
