Strawberry Pop Pop Pop - Chap 66

Chap 66
At the end of April, Han Yang’s scenes finally wrapped up. After a successful completion of
shooting, the company immediately arranged new jobs and auditions for him. Han Yang
had no complaints and, just like before, busily worked all around. The only difference was
that he started to make time, stealing moments to see Gu Nuan.
Couples in the honeymoon phase always have countless yearnings and motivations.
Sometimes Han Yang would meet Gu Nuan at a restaurant; sometimes they would return to
the Gu villa together, and other times Han Yang would visit Gu Nuan at his school.
Gu Nuan no longer referred to himself as having a brother to the outside world. He would
tell his familiar classmates that he was in a romantic relationship with an Alpha he had
liked since childhood.
Occasionally, he would use the term “my Alpha” to describe Han Yang. Due to Han Yang’s
unique profession, Gu Nuan didn’t promote it openly, nor did he mention Han Yang by
name. However, “my Alpha” was intimate enough, and without saying much, everyone
understood. Over time, the news of Gu Nuan, the C University beauty, being in a
relationship spread through various circles in the school.
When Han Yang came to see him, he often wore a mask, not because he was an actor but
because Gu Nuan was quite famous at school and could be considered a minor celebrity. If
it were discovered that he was in a romantic relationship with his own brother, he might
become even more famous.
After all, the once “Brother fanatic” Gu Nuan had already popularized Han Yang’s modeling
magazines throughout their department, and everyone had a copy.
…
The one who felt most heartbroken about this was Yu Yi. His first love ended exceptionally
quickly, and Han Yang personally ended it.
It happened on a quiet afternoon with clear skies. Yu Yi carried a bag of strawberry milk to
Gu Nuan’s dormitory, fully aware that Gu Nuan wouldn’t accept the milk, but he wanted to
try his luck regardless.
At this time, it had been half a month since Yu Yi had last given Gu Nuan a camera.
Coincidentally, it had also been half a month since Han Yang and Gu Nuan had started
dating.
In just half a month, the news of Gu Nuan dating hadn’t reached Yu Yi, who had been busy
with work.
At the dormitory entrance, Yu Yi saw a tall Alpha wearing a black mask leaning against the
spot where Yu Yi often stood, casually waiting for someone. As Yu Yi approached, he
recognized him as Han Yang through the scent of pheromones.

This was the first time Han Yang had come to the school to see Gu Nuan since they started
dating.
Yu Yi couldn’t pretend not to see him, so he greeted him warmly. However, Han Yang acted
as if he didn’t notice.
Of course, Yu Yi didn’t pay much attention to these details and smiled, asking, “Are you here
to see Gu Nuan? I’m here to see him too. I bought some strawberry milk for him.”
Han Yang found the milk annoying, turned his head, and calmly said, “Don’t bring milk to
Gu Nuan anymore.” He added, “Or anything else.”
Yu Yi didn’t react immediately.
“Gu Nuan told me that you’re a nice person, so I don’t want you to waste your time,” Han
Yang said straightforwardly. “Stop pursuing Gu Nuan.”
“You may have misunderstood me.”
Han Yang interrupted him, “Gu Nuan is dating someone now.”

Yu Yi was stunned.
He didn’t rule out the possibility that Han Yang disliked him and felt that he wasn’t worthy
of Gu Nuan. After regaining his composure, Yu Yi thought that this was his future brother-
in-law, and he repeatedly reminded himself not to offend him.
“Gu Nuan doesn’t have anyone he’s close to at school, so you don’t need to lie to me,” Yu Yi
said frankly. “As far as I know, he doesn’t have any particularly intimate relationship with
any Alpha or Beta at school.”
“You’re right.”
Yu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, Han Yang had no intention of keeping anything from Yu Yi. “Gu Nuan can’t
be close to any Alpha or Beta at school because he’s dating me. We’re not biological
brothers.”
Han Yang didn’t plan to say much more.
He looked at the time with a cold expression, then turned and walked forward, showing a
gentle smile, completely different from how he treated Yu Yi earlier.
Walking towards him was Gu Nuan, who had rushed over. Yu Yi was dazzled by Gu Nuan’s
smile and instinctively stood behind a mailbox.
All he saw was Han Yang reaching out to brush a petal off Gu Nuan’s shoulder and speaking
gently, “Why are you running so fast?”

“I knew you were waiting for me, so I ran.”
Gu Nuan panted, looked around, and, seeing fewer people, threw himself into Han Yang’s
arms with an extraordinary sense of attachment. Yu Yi had never heard Gu Nuan’s voice so
clear and filled with anticipation and admiration. It seemed to pierce through the April
spring air, causing petals to fall all around.
“I miss you so much, I miss you so much.”
With this tone, even a fool would realize that Gu Nuan was in love.
Yu Yi, in a daze, held a bag of strawberry milk and walked back, passing by a trash can. He
stood in front of it, thinking about throwing everything away.
But there was a sign on the trash can that read, “Sort your trash; everyone’s responsible.”
Helpless, Yu Yi carried the strawberry milk back to his dormitory and shared it with his
roommates.
A never-started first love made him disappear completely from Gu Nuan’s world.
And in the midst of their passionate love, Gu Nuan didn’t even notice Yu Yi’s absence. After
all, Gu Nuan didn’t have the other person’s phone number or social media accounts.
Through the gaps in spring, a gust of wind passed by hurriedly.
The willow trees had shed their leaves, and July marked the beginning of summer.
Everyone changed into short sleeves.
Han Yang’s first movie, “Strangers,” was officially released.
Gu Nuan used his savings to book the three largest theaters in the city center and invited
his classmates to watch it together the following night.
When everyone assumed that Gu Nuan liked the leading actor, He Yunchu, Gu Nuan
excitedly held a poster with the names of all the actors and pointed to the name at the very
bottom, saying, “Did you see it? Han Yang—just this name, at the bottom of the last row,
Han Yang— if you didn’t see it clearly, I’ll give each of you a magnifying glass.”
All the classmates: “…We saw it, we saw it.”
Gu Nuan had already seen a preview and said excitedly, “He will appear in the movie after
forty minutes!”

Gu Nuan had picked up the tickets in advance and distributed them one by one to his
classmates. He had also set aside four tickets for Su Li and personally delivered them to his
house.
“Isn’t this starring He Yunchu? It’s also directed by Xia Zhou Yu. I was planning to buy
tickets to see it, and you brought them to me.” Su Li happily accepted the four tickets and
asked, “Why are you giving me four?”
Gu Nuan took out the poster and drew a line under Han Yang’s name with a pen. “My
brother is in it too, but he’s in a supporting role. Two tickets are for your parents, and the
other two, you can find someone to go with.”
Su Li squinted his eyes and carefully read Han Yang’s name, puzzled. “Aren’t I going with
you?”
“If you’re willing to sit next to me and my brother, that’s fine…”
Su Li immediately declined, “I’ll go by myself, thanks.”
Besides, Su Li’s parents were also attending, so he wouldn’t be alone.
However, for Han Yang’s first movie premiere, Gu Yuanchen and Ji Mu couldn’t sit still. One
bought movie tickets for the entire company as a weekly employee benefit, and the other
bought tickets for the entire department.
Su Li’s parents didn’t need the two tickets he had.
Moreover, since everyone had different showtimes, Su Li was truly on his own. He planned
to give his parents’ two tickets to his classmates and had two tickets left…
Su Li thought for a long time, and with a sense of unease, he sent a message to Liang Xie:
“[My friend’s brother is in a movie, and he gave me two tickets for tomorrow night at 8
o’clock. Are you available? It’s directed by Xia Zhou Yu, and you mentioned before that you
liked watching movies directed by him, right?]”
Half an hour later, Liang Xie replied: “[Sorry, I don’t have the time.]”
This was one of many times Liang Xie had turned down Su Li’s invitations.
Su Li replied dejectedly: “[Alright, I’ll watch it and tell you how it is afterward.]”
Liang Xie: “[Okay.]”
Liang Xie: “[I’m sorry.]”
Su Li: “[It’s okay, we can watch a movie together once you’re less busy.]”
