Holding Onto My Man-CHAPTER 5: REBIRTH OF A CANNON FODDER

Regarding Wu Zhenzhen’s plans, Gu Bai has already thought of countermeasures. He doesn’t plan to think of other ways to counterattack, different situations call for different action*, beating somebody at their own game is the best method.

*counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir (idiom)

The reborn Wu Zhenzhen isn’t the simple lady from the past. The blacken* Wu Zhenzhen is no better than the illegitimate daughter who killed her in the previous life, she was even more ruthless!

*someone that became sinister/evil 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

With past memories intact, if he suddenly changed his character, she will definitely find it strange and then think of another plan to deal with him. By then, it will be impossible to prevent...

Thinking this way, Gu Bai began to bide his time* and kept improving his relationship with Nie Qingqcang without a trace, while secretly guarding against Wu Zhenzhen’s calculations.

*to hold back one’s troops without moving (idiom)

Time went by and two weeks later, Gu Bai went to school as usual. When he entered the school gate, he learned that the school received a handsome new teacher.

“Rongqing, let me let tell you, our school has a new art teacher, he will be teaching in our grade. Yesterday afternoon after class was over, I saw him in the principal’s office. Super handsome!”

The speaker is orginal host’s friend, a handsome boy named An Hao, who’s also gay. Everyday, when there’s nothing to do, he likes to dig up the handsome guys in school.

Gu Bai isn’t interested in these things. Although he also likes men, he seems to be born less sentimental. Before he died and entered to do tasks, he was never moved by anyone or had any favorable impression.

But he still lifted his eyelids. If he remembers correctly, An Hao is the one Wu Zhenzhen arranged to keep watch of him, and that man appeared as an art teacher this time.

However, in the story, Nan Lichen’s appearance is later on. Looks like Wu Zhenzhen is in a hurry due to last time’s unsuccessful drug attempt.

An Hao noticed that he doesn’t talk and appeared uninterested, so he had to give up on the conversation and continued to pull him into gossiping.

“Rongqing, what I said is true! He was really super handsome. It was a male god...”

The male god is indeed a male god. This is the person Wu Zhenzhen found to get close to Lu Rongqing. Naturally, the appearance is extremely outstanding.

Since the enemy has declared war, then he has no reason to retreat.

Gu Bai smiled and let An Hao gossip into the classroom.

Looks like the super handsome teacher already attracted all the student’s attention. Gu Bai heard the sound of chanting the moment he entered the classroom, it was all about how handsome the young art teacher was.

“See, see, Rongqing, I didn’t lie to you. Everyone is talking about it...” An Hao excitedly pulled his arm, continued gossiping while observing his face.

“Really that handsome? Sounds too good to be true*...”

*天上有地下无: available in heaven, unavailable on earth

Gu Bai’s face pretended to not dare have interest, Lu Rongqing is still heartbroken over Fu Zixuan at the moment, of course, he must behave as if he’s disappointed with love.

At this moment, the bell rang and footsteps were heard from outside. The classroom suddenly went silent.

A tall, slender figure slowly came in through the doorway. First, a pair of shiny leather shoes, then a pair of smooth trousers, and finally his side profile.

When the whole person entered the classroom, placed the teaching aids on his desk and turned to the front, all the students in the classroom couldn’t help but hold their breath.

“Wow......”

A girl screamed involuntarily and stared with stars in her eyes.

Nan Lichen is indeed very handsome. The sharp face is very beautiful and flawless, ear length hair and wore a pair of gold glasses. There is an unparalleled gentleness in his gestures.

Especially his eyes. At first glance, those black eyes look ordinary, but there was a different kind of spirit in those eyes. When he laughs, it’s like a special kind of magic that will make people become engrossed....

At the moment, he used this kind of smile to look at the students below. To be precise, Lu Rongqing, who was sitting at the end of the class, smiled.

“Hello everyone, I’m Nan Lichen, your new art teacher...”

His voice is also very nice and all the female students in the classroom, as well as some of the male students, became deeply intoxicated.

Gu Bai didn’t get drunk, he isn’t Lu Rongqing and he knew the plot, he knows that Nan Lichen’s attractiveness carried poison. Once he was drunk, he will die terribly.

However, he still showed a little bit of interest and dazed expression. Wu Zhenzhen’s spy could look at him at any time. He naturally had to cooperate with the acting.

So when Nan Lichen came down from the podium to come to him, Gu Bai was suddenly at a loss, there was panic on his face and a bit of shy anticipation.

“Teac-teacher...”

When Nan Lichen stopped in front of him, Gu Bai stood up and stammered, his eyes flickered.

“Don’t be nervous, what’s your name?” Nan Lichen smiled a little, stroking his head soothingly, a gentleness that is hard to refuse.

It was this kind of gentleness that allowed Lu Rongqing who never received any love to fall into the abyss.

But the person he’s meeting now is only a passing passenger doing his task. Gu Bai smiled heartily and continued to show shyness. “I... I’m Lu Rongqing, teacher...”

While he talked, he clutched both sides of his pants and he seem to be very nervous.

Nan Lichen looked at him, he sized him up with his dark pupils. The current Gu Bai is slightly different from the photo Wu Zhenzhen gave him.

The face is indeed the same beautiful young face in the photo, but the difference is that this time, in order to improve his impression in the eyes of Nie Qingcang so that he can easily hold on to the golden thigh, Gu Bai changed the original host’s colorful hair back to normal.

Smokey makeup, weird skull earrings, tattoos, and all the other messy things that the original host like, all completely changed.

Sentimental, beautiful and well behaved is Nan Lichen’s first impression of Gu Bai.

Especially the pure eyes that Gu Bai revealed just now, it made Nan Lichen feel that it’s such a pity, a pure boy like him actually have someone plot against him.

It’s pitiful, but what needs to be done still needs to be done.

“Lu student, I need a representative for art class. Are you willing?”

Nan Lichen looked at Gu Bai, his eyes soft and focused. This kind of eyes make you feel as if in the whole world, he will only look at you. Unconsciously making people’s heartbeat accelerate, a silent temptation.

Unfortunately, this temptation has no effect on Gu Bai and everyone who knows him knows, don’t look into his eyes, because him and his pure eyes have no connection whatsoever! 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

So Nan Lichen saw that the beautiful young boy was in disbelief for a while, then showed a shy smile, nervously nodding his head and promised. When he looked at him with those clear and innocent eyes, there was a certain kind of softness in his heart that he himself didn’t realize.

“Okay, then I’ll count on you, Lu student.”

In the envious eyes of the female classmates in the class, Nan Lichen smiled and rubbed Gu Bai’s soft hair again, and then walked back to the podium to begin class. He was gentle and graceful, also know when to advance and retreat.

An Hao who was next to Gu Bai quietly went to his ear, pretending to be very envious.

“Rongqing, I didn’t lie to you. Isn’t he a male god...”

“Emm...”

Gu Bai sneered, but his face was slightly red and his head lowered, looking like a teen experiencing fist love.

An Hao saw his look and showed a satisfied smile “.....”

After class, he went to the toilet and called Wu Zhenzhen to report the situation.

Wu Zhenzhen was very satisfied with the call and the smile was very carefree.

“Anyway...you help me keep an eye too. Last time he was lucky and escaped. This time I want him to cruelly fall into the abyss and unable to climb back out, otherwise my heart won’t be content...” In the end, Wu Zhenzhen’s cheerful laughter became very ferocious.
