Strawberry Pop Pop Pop chapter 81

“It’s not necessary to take a year off. Your father said your qualifications are still too green, and he plans to have you start learning at the company during various holidays this year to prepare earlier.”

On the way back, Ji Mu breathed a sigh of relief. “The business world is a battlefield, and being a year late means missing out on a year of experience. You don’t know how anxious your father was earlier. He was worried that your ability to handle things wouldn’t be good when the time comes and that the old foxes in the company would take advantage of you.”

When Gu Nuan remained silent, he had a cold and aloof demeanor, detached from the world.

A flight attendant brought him a glass of juice, secretly admiring Gu Nuan as a rare beauty. But when Gu Nuan spoke, he sounded childish, saying, “Father must want to retire early and spend some time alone with you. Don’t think I don’t know.”

After saying that, he made a small “hmph” sound. “Grandfather did the same when he waited for father to reach his fourth year before allowing him to intern at the company.”

But when it came down to it, Gu Nuan didn’t mind starting work at his family’s company early. After all, he had some plans in mind.

Once he became a junior CEO, his pocket money would definitely increase significantly. At that point, he planned to buy a luxury car for Han Yang to drive to the set every day, dazzling He Yunchu. After all, He Yunchu used to look down on Han Yang for not having a car back then.

Then, he would buy himself an extremely stylish sports car and occasionally show up at Han Yang’s set in a suit, exuding an air of being from a wealthy family, supporting Han Yang.

It would definitely be incredibly stylish!

And all of these extravagant scenarios were part of the “Tycoon x Entertainment Industry” persona that Su Li had been sharing with him over the past few days. When Su Li was bored at work and playing games seemed too obvious, he would watch and then enthusiastically share these scenarios with Gu Nuan.

Having been raised not to flaunt his wealth since he was a child, Gu Nuan couldn’t help but secretly chuckle at this moment.

The flight attendant’s hand trembled, finding him adorable. Sometimes, such a stark contrast could be deadly.

Han Yang calmly took the juice from the flight attendant’s hand and said, “Thank you.” Afterward, he casually helped Gu Nuan tidy up his messy hair, establishing their roles. “Xiao Nuan, here’s your juice.”

In an instant, Gu Nuan transformed into a cute little one and accepted the juice from Han Yang, saying, “Thank you, big brother.”

…

However, now that his glands had healed, it meant that both Han Yang and Gu Nuan would have to start being busy with their own responsibilities.

Two people who had become addicted to living together naturally didn’t want to be separated.

After returning to City C, Gu Nuan sat silently on the apartment’s sofa, his mind filled with thoughts about which car to buy for Han Yang, which set of houses to purchase, which restaurant to book, and what size engagement ring to use for a proposal. He felt exhausted from all the thinking and had no time for conversation.

However, Han Yang misunderstood his silence. He took the initiative to walk over, ruffled Gu Nuan’s hair, and said, “I won’t be working for this year. Although your glands have healed, I will accompany you to school, join you for internships, and be there whenever you want to see me. Okay?”

Gu Nuan looked at Han Yang, still preoccupied with various images of luxury cars and mansions. He blinked in confusion and said, “Huh?”

“Alright, let’s not talk about these things. Let’s go out for dinner.”

To make Gu Nuan happier, Han Yang took him to a hotpot restaurant they used to frequent, indulged in a hearty meal, and then went to watch a movie.

Throughout the outing, Gu Nuan’s pheromones never went astray.

The two of them refrained from discussing their time at the hospital until Han Yang was recognized by a “young fan” at the movie theater.

Gu Nuan happened to be going to the restroom, and Han Yang was waiting for him in the rest area. When Gu Nuan came out, Han Yang was approached by a female student. She looked at Han Yang in astonishment, confirmed his identity several times, and then politely asked, “Are you Han Yang, the actor who played ‘Xiao Tian’ in the drama ‘Amidst the Wind’?”

Gu Nuan stopped in his tracks and didn’t immediately approach.

The girl was extremely excited but not a fanatical fan. She said, “You played ‘Xiao Tian’ so well, and my friend and I both think you did an excellent job. By the way, you also played the stalker in ‘Stranger,’ right? I watched that too. Although you played minor roles in both of these dramas, I think you’re really handsome!”

This girl had probably encountered a celebrity for the first time. She blushed as she asked if she could take a photo with him or get his autograph.

Han Yang was still a relatively unknown actor, so being recognized was quite rare. He thanked the girl repeatedly and, with a calm expression, revealed a smile that he wouldn’t typically show to strangers, leaving Gu Nuan slightly captivated.

Han Yang signed an autograph for the girl with sincerity, but when it came to taking a photo, he hesitated.

Because…

They didn’t have a selfie together, neither he nor Gu Nuan. Gu Nuan was his number one fan, and he wasn’t sure if Gu Nuan would feel jealous about this.

Just as Han Yang was about to decline, Gu Nuan rushed over and said to the girl, “Let me take a photo for you.”

The girl hesitated but, seeing that Gu Nuan was also a fan, she lowered her guard. Moreover, Gu Nuan, as a good-looking male Omega, caused her to blush even more as a regular Beta.

They took a carefully posed group photo, and Gu Nuan deliberately chose the girl’s best angle for the shot. After just one photo, the girl thanked Gu Nuan. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to encourage Han Yang, saying, “Keep it up! You’ll definitely become famous soon enough!”

By that time, this photo would be her family heirloom!

After saying that, she hesitated and wanted to ask Gu Nuan for his contact information. Gu Nuan, no longer acting as childish and spoiled as usual in front of Han Yang, politely declined the girl, saying, “I’m sorry, I already have an Alpha.”

Han Yang smiled faintly, slightly turning his body, feeling content.

After leaving the cinema, Gu Nuan craved bubble tea, so Han Yang placed an order for the nearest shop through his phone.

“Brother, I want pudding added, no separate layer for the cheese cap, and absolutely no pearls.”

“Yes, I got it.”

“I also want Oreo and soy milk flavors.”

“I’ve ordered both.”

While walking to the bubble tea shop, Han Yang took the initiative to hold Gu Nuan’s hand, fingers intertwined. Gu Nuan moved closer to him, suddenly stopped, and nuzzled Han Yang’s arm with his forehead. He acted coquettish, saying, “Brother.”

In the summer night sky at nine o’clock, there were countless stars.

Han Yang reached out, tucking Gu Nuan’s slightly long hair behind his ear and gently caressing his warm cheek with his fingertips. He bent down slightly, pulling Gu Nuan into his embrace, resting his chin on Gu Nuan’s shoulder. “What’s wrong?”

“This year… Don’t spend too much time on me anymore. You should go to work. But can you cancel your rental apartment and just live in our current apartment? I’ve moved out of the school dorms.” Gu Nuan hugged him tightly, took a deep breath of his minty scent, and grabbed a small bundle of wrinkled fabric behind Han Yang’s back playfully. “I want to see you become a big star, even more famous than He Yunchu, and then…”

Han Yang didn’t understand. “And then?”

Gu Nuan suddenly chuckled mischievously and said with a wicked glint in his eyes, “And then I’ll be the young CEO, and when my father retires, I’ll be the big CEO. I’ll have lots and lots of money! By then, whatever you want, I can buy it for you!”

Thinking about it, he couldn’t be happier. Gu Nuan couldn’t wait to become the young CEO of his family’s company now and host a spectacular wedding for both of them.

For this reason, a brief separation between them for their respective careers was a small sacrifice.

Han Yang didn’t immediately grasp what Gu Nuan was thinking, but he seemed to realize something. Gu Nuan wasn’t crying or feeling sad; he had something else in mind.

Han Yang once again realized that Gu Nuan’s clinginess was on the surface, while his own clinginess was deep inside.

It was like they complemented each other perfectly, making their love even stronger.

“Brother, let’s work hard together.” Gu Nuan tiptoed and kissed the corner of Han Yang’s mouth. “I’ll do what I want to do and have to, and you should do the same. Let’s not waste any time.”

Gu Nuan smiled, and with the warm breeze of the summer night, he became as sweet as strawberries. “When that fan asked you for an autograph earlier, you looked so handsome. I hope you can keep wearing that smile. But remember, the most beautiful smile should be reserved for me alone!”

Han Yang’s eyes shone brightly, like distant stars in the night sky.

Gu Nuan tugged at Han Yang’s clothes and said, “As a future CEO, my patience has its limits. You’d better promise me now and give me a kiss.”

“A CEO asking for a kiss?”

Gu Nuan argued playfully, “There are all sorts of CEOs in the world. You should get used to it in advance.”

Han Yang’s body was warm, and even his palms were hot. Gu Nuan always had an easy way of entering his heart. Han Yang lowered his head, cupping Gu Nuan’s face, and kissed him. It was more like a gentle peck as he said. “Got it, Young CEO Gu.”
