From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!
Chapter 245 - 122: Transformation—In the Name of the Moon, I Will Punish You~~
Li You coldly watched Gu Ningzhi skip over and then introduced him with a silly grin, "Little Squid, I forgot to introduce you. This is the little cutie who’s joining our activity. She looks very loli-like, right?"
Uncles love lolis, youths fancy older sisters; Li You and Gu Ningzhi are the same age, both in their sixties racing towards seventy, undoubtedly uncles now. Maybe because their hearts feel worn-out, Gu Ningzhi likes to hang with young people to find his lost youth.
However, there are exceptions to everything, like Li You, who is a Lieutenant General who knew Su Jiameng early on!
Given Li You’s deep understanding of Gu Ningzhi’s awful temper, seeing his wild and unrestrained behavior now, wandering about without a proper path, he thought Gu Ningzhi intended to prey on a real loli like Su Jiameng. He sneered, giving Gu Ningzhi a filthy look, and mocked, "Thirty years of vagabond life left your brain lacking more than two taels? You really disappoint me..."
Back in the day, when Li You and Gu Ningzhi were "partners in crime" at Xilena Academy, many teachers avoided these two. It wasn’t just because they were hard to disciple and rebellious, but also because their mouths were wickedly sharp!
Li You enjoyed biting remarks full of venom, while Gu Ningzhi, with a poker face, delivered divine finishing blows! Whoever fell into their hands was unlucky!
Rumor has it, during intensely interesting battles, these two even teamed up to verbally destroy a very talented student to tears; mind you, Xilena’s students are all over twenty-four, and they could still be brought to heartbreaking sobs, showing how strong their skills in verbal assassination were!
Gu Ningzhi froze for a moment, knowing he’d been mocked by his friend. But shouldn’t you, at least, give a heads up so he can mentally prepare? It’d be better to die understanding, right? How did he provoke this post-natally evolved stoic Li You?
Actually, Li You’s meaning was simple: if Gu Ningzhi’s brain hadn’t degenerated, he’d know what’s the consequence for messing with a minor. Jail time — no explanation needed. Whether it’s mutual feelings or whatever, go express your love behind bars.
Gu Ningzhi was unknowingly cursed by Li You’s cryptic critique and still didn’t know why he was slammed, eventually left confused. Unaware as he was, ignorance is a rare bliss, he scratched his head as he continued introducing Li You to Su Jiameng, and then realized he’d made a blunder.
"Susu girl, when did you meet Little Squid?" Gu Ningzhi is naturally sociable, especially since he’s classified Su Jiameng as a future daughter-in-law of the Gu Family; he doesn’t know what being reserved means, "Seems pretty familiar."
Su Jiameng was exasperated. Other than Su Lu, Gu Ningzhi is the second one to call her "Susu". Given the hot serial of Princess Fusu’s "Ancient Sword Legend: Where is the Sword Spirit and Heart Today," she feels this nickname is increasingly awkward.
"It’s Mr. Li’s kindness; he took me for a journey, bringing me from the previous place to Qiming Star." It was leveraging K3’s face value, but Li You’s subtle care towards her on the Cosmic Spaceship cannot be overlooked, plus his later friendly reminder to her.
Gu Ningzhi nodded silently, noting down this information with the intention of privately probing Li You about Su Jiameng. He won’t rest in peace until figuring out how this girl and his brother managed to mess up with two adorable kids!
Li You tacitly agreed with the explanation but kept his mouth shut. After all, during a mission, he discreetly helped open a back door for someone; although not much time was wasted, technically it was a dereliction of duty, nothing to boast about.
Then came the introduction of Changxi and Gu Ningxuan. Hearing the name Changxi, Li You just raised his eyebrow slightly at the unique and rare surname "Baili"... Actually, Su Jiameng hopes Changxi and Su Mo could mess around to produce a child named "Ten Thousand Miles Snow Flakes", "Thousand Miles Ice Seal", or "Ten Miles Fragrance," these names sound great.
However, when he heard the name Gu Ningxuan, his gaze intensified with interest, secretly turning to Gu Ningzhi, then haughtily snorted in a way that left everyone puzzled in confusion. Finally, all that was left was Luo Xin.
"Luo Xin." Luo Xin held a face of solemnity, yet her features leaned alluring, looking somewhat peculiar.
"Luo Xin?" Li You echoed the name, recalling the two tumultuous alarms lately, suddenly raising his brow, casting a meaningful look at Gu Ningxuan for an explanation. But the guy brazened it out like a blind man.
