Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards

Chapter 62: Chapter 59 Ha, Gold Coins Burst!

Su Huai was too stunned to even pay attention to the system prompt.

Why is she here?!

And why does she look like this at such a young age?!

There were four people in the office, but in Su Huai’s world, only her figure remained.

The first thing people would exclaim upon seeing her is undoubtedly two words—so white.

It was a kind of white akin to snow, particularly clean, as if it had never been touched by sunlight.

The second thought that arose was still two words—so thin.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, her figure so slender it seemed like she belonged to another species, an elf.

The third exclamation would inevitably be so beautiful.

A typical melon seed face, tiny, as delicate as a fairy from a painting.

Or to use a description that’s more in line with trends: a modeled face shaped by AI following the golden ratio.

The only difference was that because she was too thin, her eyes seemed unusually large among her facial features, making them stand out.

But she was still a symbol of beauty.

Your rationality tells you she’s too thin, not healthy enough, and does not match your everyday aesthetic standards, but your emotions will vehemently disagree.

If she’s not considered beautiful, then what is?

She is just too fragile, too unreal, that’s all.

Thus, you would develop a sense of pity for her, overpowering, uncontrollable, and tinged with fear.

You dare not look at her too much, but at the same time, you can’t bear not to.

This is Gu Jiuyue.

But this is not the Gu Jiuyue that Su Huai remembers.

The last image of her imprinted in Su Huai’s memory was that of the wise goddess holding the reins of the Origin Fund.

Normal weight, wearing rimless glasses, intelligent, elegant, and wise, discussing her investment philosophy in interviews without haste, rarely smiling, but with deep and peaceful eyes, exuding a charm that could invert the world.

The bullet comments were filled with post-00s and post-15s kids spamming “older sister, take me.”

Adults don’t really get into memes, the sense of distance is just too great.

But actually…

The sense of distance is even stronger now.

When she realized there were others in the office, she glanced over lightly, and upon seeing Su Huai, she nodded slightly as a form of greeting.

A very polite gesture.

But under Su Huai’s innate perception, he instantly felt a chill and detachment from her indifferent gaze.

Commonly, when people describe a girl as proud and unapproachable, they often use the words “aloof and cold.”

True aloofness is the glacier on the Himalayas; getting close brings a chill, inappropriate touching results in frostbite, climbing is extremely difficult, falling carelessly spears the bone, and once conquered, it brings an intense sense of pride and accomplishment.

Chilly detachment is different.

Chilly detachment is the cold moonlight that falls on the windowsill in a quiet night, portrayed by poets as frost. It doesn’t freeze people nor does it radiate coldness, it’s just distant and solitary, forbidding anyone to come close.

In that instant, Su Huai finally understood the difference between aloofness and chilly detachment.

They both create a sense of distance, but the former is an intense radiation, while the latter is ultimate restraint.

This is trouble…

Can I really earn enough Favorability from such a girl?

Su Huai was somewhat uncertain, but since he had drawn the bow, he could only try to open Radar as calmly as possible.

“Scan.”

[Eligible Target: Gu Jiuyue]

[Height: 166]

[Weight: 42]

[Appearance: 97 (99)]

[Figure: 88 (93)]

[Overall: 94 (97)]

[Favorability: 0]

[Evaluation: In all the heavens, none could be her match; she emerges specially after a thousand eons. Hence, beauty envied by the heavens, her heart afflicted by celestial malaise]

For the entire three seconds that the attributes popped up, Su Huai was dumbfounded.

What divine evaluation is this?!

This is not about some 4000-year-old beauty propagated by generic press pieces, but a genuine 99-point limit in beauty, no wonder she’s described as “emerging specially after a thousand eons.”

However…

“Beauty envied by the heavens, her heart afflicted by celestial malaise,” so she…

Su Huai suddenly realized many things, marveling at her innate beauty and lamenting her tragic fate.

Given her family background, the fact that she hasn’t recovered suggests she must have a very complex congenital heart disease, with who knows how many other complications.

At a height of 1.66 meters and a weight of 84 pounds, it was clear how frail she had become.

Even so, her figure still scored 88 points, meaning her body proportions were top-notch, with delicate bones, exquisite muscle structure, and precise fat distribution.

So now she was Lin Meimei, with a fragile beauty that seemed easy to break, but not a sickly ghost that would frighten people away.

A healthy her would be a super top-tier beauty with a composite score of 97.

But when could she regain her health?

Or whether she could ever regain her health?

At 35, she should have been relatively healthy, not too different from ordinary people—at least she seemed that way.

But Su Huai still felt an inexplicable heaviness, a bit stifled inside.

If… just in case… who knew?

Phew!

…

While lost in thought, grandma had already finished exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Yaowen and moved to the reception area.

“Did we interrupt your work?” Grandma’s voice was warm and kind, her smile inviting and friendly.

Zhang Yaowen hurriedly shook his head, “Not at all, not at all! Just a casual conversation… Oh, let me introduce you, this is the head of our big data class, Su Huai, a very good and steady kid.”

Director Zhang pulled Su Huai forward a bit, smiling, “Su, Professor Cheng is the academic leader of our school’s world and modern history teaching team. That’s her granddaughter, and your future classmate, Gu Jiuyue, Yue has a bit of a weak constitution, so you should pay good attention…”

Indeed, she was from the big data class!

I’ve finally waited for you…

Suppressing his excitement, Su Huai immediately focused on Gu Jiuyue.

[Strive Goal 2: Gu Jiuyue]

[Favorability: 0-9]

[Note: Rewards from Gu Jiuyue’s Favorability Rating will be more skewed towards her innate talents, abilities, and attributes.]

Seeing the pitiful single-digit Favorability, Su Huai wasn’t in a rush and went about his business as usual.

“Hello, Professor Cheng!”

Su Huai bowed from his spot and then nodded with a smile at Gu Jiuyue.

“Classmate Gu, if you need anything at all, you can come to me. I’m here to serve everyone.”

Gu Jiuyue rose unhurriedly, responding softly with a thank you.

She seemed a bit shy, giving Su Huai the impression of timidity, but there was nothing to criticize about her manners.

Professor Cheng watched with a beaming smile and then waved Su Huai down to sit.

“Good, you can tell he’s a good kid! Have a seat!”

Zhang Yaowen seized the moment to join in, “Hey, how can you tell? Just because he’s tanned?”

Professor Cheng laughed heartily at the tease, pointing at him, “You’re at this age, how can you still be so mischievous?”

She then turned to instruct Gu Jiuyue, “My dear granddaughter, when I’m not around, go straight to Su for help. Your uncle Zhang’s expectations are high, and any kid who can hang out in his office just to chat must be good in every aspect!”

Wow, from this angle…

The old lady really knew how to see through appearances.

Zhang Yaowen, immensely flattered, joined in the laughter and complimented Su Huai some more.

“I’ve always been a bit skeptical of lavishing too much praise and affection on the young, but Su really is different, stable, meticulous, and measured… You also know Wang Zhi, our big data class will have to rely on Su to manage in the future, it’s timely that you’re here; if you have any advice, let Su hear it too.”

Su Huai was busy at the tea station, having already cleaned two new cups. Hearing the conversation, he simply smiled and didn’t chime in.

Only after their conversation died down did he quietly ask, “Professor Cheng, what would you like to drink?”

Professor Cheng waved him off cheerfully, “Good kid, no need to busy yourself, we won’t stay long.”

So, Su Huai silently poured two cups of hot water for them, then moved the chairs back to their original places by the desk and sat down obediently.

Gu Jiuyue quietly voiced her thanks; she had spoken only four words to Su Huai that day—thank you, and thank you.

Her voice was especially pleasant to the ear, soft and melodic, with a hint of youthfulness.

Su Huai almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.

It was mainly the striking contrast that made it funny; the later, intellectually sophisticated and powerful goddess was actually a young girl who sounded like a bubbly milk foam when she first came of age…

Adorable pinch~~~

As Su Huai was struggling between his effort to remain composed and his amusement, Gu Jiuyue held her hot water cup, and then Mr. Tongzi suddenly sent a notification—

[Gu Jiuyue’s Favorability Rating has increased to 10+. Congratulations, Host, you’ve earned a chance to draw a prize.]

Ha!

Gold Coin jackpot!
