CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 170: CAN YOU TEACH ME?

Ling Tianyou smiled lightly and reached out to hook her finger.

"—You’re my girlfriend, of course I’ll trust you."

No one knows better than him whether his girlfriend has mental issues.

No matter how many rumors there are, he won’t be swayed.

The speech on stage ended, and Gu Ningyue pulled Ling Tianyou’s hand walking to the side: "When are we going back?"

Ling Tianyou looked at her and asked, "What’s wrong? Have you had enough in just a short while?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Chi Xingtong and Han Yin didn’t come, Liu Liu also left, I don’t know anyone, it’s not interesting."

These people are even more tedious than the banquets she attended in her past life while executing missions.

Back then, she only focused on the mission, so she didn’t pay attention to the state of those people!

Maybe the people back then were just as boring as the people now.

Hearing her say this, somehow Ling Tianyou’s mind suddenly flashed with Lin Ruixian’s face.

Today is Lin Ziyue’s son’s birthday party, how come Lin Ruixian, the younger brother, didn’t show up? What’s going on?

But it’s a good thing he didn’t come, saves the anger.

Wait, why was he angry?

Ling Tianyou shook his head, trying to dispel these unfamiliar thoughts: "Let’s stay a bit longer before leaving! Tianze and Liu Liu have left, if we leave too soon, it wouldn’t be good."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Okay."

The two sat on the sofa chatting, and after finishing a glass of champagne, Ling Tianyou stood up: "Stay here for a bit, I’ll go have a word with Mr. Lin."

Gu Ningyue responded, letting Ling Tianyou go ahead.

He seems to know she doesn’t like this kind of socializing, so he never forces her to accompany him at these occasions.

This is something Gu Ningyue appreciates.

Ling Tianyou had just left for about two minutes when a figure sat beside her.

Gu Ningyue sat up cautiously, looking at the girl in a blue dress and asked: "Is there something you need?"

From the beginning, a gaze had occasionally landed on her.

Ling Tianyou had just left, and she came over; it’s obvious she’s here for her.

The girl in the blue dress seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen, even with makeup, her small face was still quite youthful, with a small blood-red tear mole under her eye, giving a rather distinctive look.

"The moves you used to save Young Master Ling were so cool, could... could you teach me?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t expect someone wanting to learn from her, silent for a moment she asked: "You’re still a student, right? Why do you want to learn this?"

The girl in the blue dress lowered her head shyly: "I think it’s super cool, and just in case a classmate has a similar situation in the future, I can lend a hand and uphold justice!"

Uphold justice? Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but smile: "Little Gu girl, that’s not how you use that idiom."

The girl in the blue dress scratched her head in embarrassment: "Hehe."

Gu Ningyue observed her expression, this girl has the energy and vitality typical of her age.

Youthful, tender, lively, something she never had in her past life.

Somehow, a string in Gu Ningyue’s heart moved.

"What’s your name?" Gu Ningyue asked the girl in the blue dress: "What year are you in college?"

It’s the first time in so long someone took the initiative to talk to her, and not to ridicule her current body.

The girl in the blue dress said: "My name is Man Qianshan. I’m a freshman this year, hehe."

Gu Ningyue looked at her, she seems to love smiling, and her naturally joyful face looks even more pleasing.

Watching her made Gu Ningyue want to pinch her cheek, but seeing Man Qianshan’s unfamiliar eyes, she held back.

They are just strangers.

"If you want to learn, first memorize the diagram of human acupuncture points and then come find me!"

Man Qianshan was stunned for a moment, then joyfully said: "Great! After memorizing the diagram of acupuncture points, Miss Gu will you teach me?"

Gu Ningyue smiled lightly, shook her head at her: "No, if you want to learn my techniques from today, you not only need to memorize the acupuncture points but also learn to use them flexibly."

Man Qianshan asked: "What do you mean by using them flexibly, Miss Gu?"

"Just memorize first! We can talk once you’ve memorized it." Gu Ningyue said: "If you really want to learn."

Back when her master taught her this move, she was really put through the wringer.

Those acupuncture points were checked randomly countless times for their uses, and she was punished numerous times before she achieved today’s skills.

This little girl is young and doesn’t understand the complexities involved.

If she only learns a dead gesture, in case of emergency, it might lead to disaster causing harm.

"Okay." Man Qianshan agreed unequivocally, "Miss Gu, let’s add each other on WeChat!"

This last sentence seemed to be spoken with a bit of apprehension, afraid Gu Ningyue might refuse.

Gu Ningyue took her phone out of her bag, showed her QR code: "You can scan me!"

Man Qianshan’s eyes lit up with joy, immediately adding Gu Ningyue as a friend.

Seeing her so joyous, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but ask: "Aren’t you afraid of my illness acting up and hurting you one day?"

Man Qianshan shook her head: "Not afraid! Why would I be scared? My dad says, if someone is destined to face a disaster, they can’t avoid it."

Furthermore, she genuinely wants to learn.

Gu Ningyue laughed: "You’re really brave. I’m a few years older than you, you can just call me sister!"

For some reason, hearing Man Qianshan calling her Miss Gu felt odd.

Man Qianshan nodded, but then cautiously asked: "Can I call you master?"

"Up to you." As long as it’s not Miss Gu.

Man Qianshan grinned sweetly: "Master sister."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Gu Ningyue: "Master and sister, you can only choose one."

"Huh?" Man Qianshan was dumbfounded for a moment, and after much internal debate said: "Then I’ll call you master, it’s more unique."

Gu Ningyue: "Hmm, whatever you prefer."

"Master, the pendant on your neck is really pretty." Man Qianshan admired: "Did President Ling give it to you?"

Mentioning Ling Tianyou, Gu Ningyue then realized she had been chatting with Man Qianshan for quite a while, why hasn’t Ling Tianyou returned?

She scanned the surroundings, only to see Mr. Lin talking with other guests, Lin Ziyue and Yun Shuer not far away playing with Lin Wuhuan.

Where did Ling Tianyou go?

"You stay here for now!" Gu Ningyue stood up: "I have some things to do."

Man Qianshan nodded, sensibly not asking further, just sweetly saying goodbye, watching Gu Ningyue’s figure disappear into the crowd.
