Out of curiosity, Lu Huan casually asked, "Are you really planning to marry Lu Sangsang?"

When Chu Jun heard her mention his marriage to Lu Sangsang, his heart skipped a beat. "You care about it a lot?"

If she didn't care, why would she ask that?

However, Lu Huan's next words greatly disappointed Chu Jun: "No, no, I was just asking casually!"

What a joke! How could she possibly care about Chu Jun? She was just curious whether the two of them would end up together as in the original story!

After celebrating Guo Yi's birthday, she saw Chu Jun and Lu Sangsang talking in the backyard corridor.

I don't know what we're discussing, and we need to avoid other people.

When Chu Jun said those words at the dinner table, he did not discuss them with Lu Sangsang beforehand. He was afraid that Lu Sangsang would misunderstand and think that he really wanted to marry her, so he made a point of clarifying some things with her after dinner.

This explanation was merely to appease their elders and to delay the marriage. They both understood that if it wasn't the other person, there would be someone else.

Perhaps they won't meet anyone better than each other in the future and will settle for marriage, or perhaps they will meet someone they already have their heart set on...

Chu Jun's way of speaking was straightforward, which was also very hurtful. If Lu Huan had heard what he said, she would definitely have been furious and jumped up to hit and scold him. Fortunately, Lu Sangsang was a gentle and sensible person and agreed with his opinion.

Chu Jun scoffed, "Who knows what will happen in the future!"

Who knows, he might really forget Lu Huan in the future, fall in love with Lu Sangsang, and marry her!

Lu Sangsang frowned in confusion. Judging from Chu Jun's words, it seemed that he was still willing to marry Lu Sangsang.

Does this mean the plot is still progressing, but there are other twists and turns along the way?

Just as Lu Huan was about to speak, Gu Zhendong's voice suddenly interrupted her.

Gu Zhendong came downstairs at some point and stood on the stairs, holding onto the railing with one hand.

Gu Zhendong was not asleep and was waiting for Lu Huan to come back.

She was just getting a glass of water, but after waiting for more than ten minutes and still no one had returned, I was worried that she might run into Lu Sangsang and be in danger.

Unexpectedly, they happened to see Lu Huan and Chu Jun.

Although he kept telling himself that Lu Huan liked him and that he had only met Chu Jun by chance and exchanged a few words with him, there was nothing to be angry about. He tried to convince himself of this, but it was no use. His anger was evident on his face, his expression was tense, and his dark eyes were filled with frost as he sharply focused his gaze on the two of them.

Lu Huan hadn't done anything wrong, but Gu Zhendong's gaze, filled with both anger and resentment, made her feel guilty, as if she were flirting with some other man!

Honestly, she really only chatted with Chu Jun for a couple of minutes.

Gu Zhendong was jealous and angry, but not to the point of losing his temper, especially in front of Chu Jun.

Gu Zhendong walked over calmly, but his words were quite impolite: "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

It's so late at night, does he intend to stay here tonight?

These two can be considered childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Their families are very familiar with each other. Did Chu Jun often stay here before? There is even a private bedroom for him here.

The man got angry as soon as he thought about it, and his face turned very gloomy.

"I'll just say a few words to Huanhuan, then I'll head back!"

Lu Huan: ...

Didn't he see the dangerous aura emanating from Gu Zhendong? How dare he say such things to Gu Zhendong's face? Wasn't he just pushing himself into a fire pit?

Lu Huan was now filled with hatred for Chu Jun. If she had known, she would have driven him away without any mercy.

He gave an awkward laugh: "What do you want to tell me?"

The implication is that there seems to be nothing between us to talk about, right?

"I want to talk to you about this privately!"

Well! Not only do they want to push her into the fire pit, but they also want to pour a bucket of oil on her, hoping to see her burn to ashes.

Lu Huan subconsciously looked up at the man beside her; Gu Zhendong would definitely not agree.

Chu Jun noticed Lu Huan's sly look, chuckled, and turned to Gu Zhendong provocatively: "Mr. Gu, you wouldn't be so stingy as to refuse to even say a few words, would you?"

Chu Jun's words were deliberately meant to provoke Gu Zhendong, in order to retaliate against his previous statement.

Gu Zhendong was concerned about his reputation, so of course he couldn't say no. He just gave Lu Huan a look: Don't talk to him too much.

Lu Huan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the side with Chu Jun, muttering with complaints, "What do you want to say?"

Her tone wasn't exactly friendly, but it was much better than his previous tone and attitude towards her.

Chu Jun didn't understand what he was thinking either. He had clearly hated her so much back then, yet he had unknowingly fallen in love with her.

It seems that people only realize what they want when they lose it.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that if you get divorced, you still have me!"

? ? ?

Lu Huan was stunned for a moment before she realized, "Are you cursing me to get a divorce?"

"He might not even last until you get divorced!"

"???"

Isn't Gu Zhendong in poor health and only has a few years left to live?

He had indeed seen Gu Zhendong when he was ill before, and it was truly a miracle that he was still alive.

Lu Huan naturally understood his implied meaning: he not only cursed her to get a divorce, but also cursed Gu Zhendong to die early. She was so angry that she jumped up and down, "You're talking nonsense!"

Chu Jun hadn't seen Lu Huan angry in so long, and he actually missed it a little. He couldn't help but chuckle, and patted her hair. "I'm leaving!"

Lu Huan slapped his hand away, cursing, "Get lost!"

＊

Lu Huan was afraid that Gu Zhendong would misunderstand, so she immediately ran back as soon as Chu Jun left.

She explained to the man, "We didn't say anything, please don't be angry!"

Gu Zhendong's gaze fell on her hair, and remembering that Chu Jun had touched it earlier, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "I'm not angry."

Gu Zhendong not only wasn't angry, but he even smiled at her. Lu Huan wondered if he had a mental problem or if she was hallucinating. She looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Gu Zhendong gently stroked her hair, his voice unusually tender: "Of course I'm not angry!"

Gu Zhendong smiled gently, but it felt strange. Lu Huan chuckled, "It's good that you're not angry!"

"I'll go get you some water."

Freshly boiled water is very hot; it needs to be left to cool for a while before drinking.

Lu Huan took her pajamas into the bathroom to take a shower, while Gu Zhendong stared at the steaming cup on the coffee table, lost in thought.

What kind of fun activities should we do tonight?

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Lu Huan was washing her hair with her eyes closed, unaware that danger was approaching her.

A suds of foam accidentally got into Lu Huan's eyes, stinging them so much she couldn't open them. She fumbled for the showerhead and the hot water poured down on her head.

With a snap, the bathroom lights suddenly went out.

Lu Huan wasn't particularly afraid of the dark, but her eyes weren't used to the sudden darkness. She instinctively called out Gu Zhendong's name, wanting him to check what was wrong.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhendong's voice came directly from behind, which really startled Lu Huan.

When did you come in?

Gu Zhendong had one arm around her. "Just came in!"

"Then hurry up and turn on the light, it's pitch black and I can't see anything, and I haven't rinsed the foam off my hair yet!"

Lu Huan pushed him away, but Gu Zhendong grabbed her wrist and said, "It's okay, I'll help you wash in a bit."

"Um?"

Soon, Lu Huan realized something was wrong. Why did the lights go out right after Gu Zhendong came in? Could it be that he turned them off on purpose?

Gu Zhendong had no intention of letting Lu Huan off the hook; he was going to have some fun with her tonight.

Lu Huan sensed Gu Zhendong's unusual behavior and cried out in panic, "You, you, you!"

...

Afterwards, Lu Huan was exhausted and only then did she realize how terrifying Gu Zhendong's lack of vitality was.

She was foolish enough to believe he wasn't angry and let her guard down, only to suffer such a terrible price.

She's too naive!

Gu Zhendong hugged her from behind, inhaling the fragrance behind her ears, which tempted her to get closer. His warm, dry lips pressed against the skin of her neck, and she could clearly feel Lu Huan shrink back.

Lu Huan's body was very sensitive. The spot on her skin that was being licked was hot and burning, and a tingling sensation quickly spread to her heart.

Her voice was already hoarse from all the teasing, and he was still teasing her. Lu Huan was furious. She shrank her neck to avoid the man's lips and tongue, rolled up in the blanket, and moved away from Gu Zhendong as far away from him as possible.

Unfortunately, her bed was small. Every time Lu Huan rolled a little off the bed, Gu Zhendong would move closer and hug Lu Huan, blanket and all.

Just as Lu Huan had nowhere left to roll and was about to fall off the bed, Gu Zhendong reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her into his arms.

"You're not even giving me a blanket? I'll catch a cold in this cold weather!"

Gu Zhendong lowered his head and leaned closer to her, his breath hot against her nose. He had just enjoyed a meal, and his deep, magnetic voice still had a hint of hoarseness, which was captivating.

Lu Huan couldn't stand Gu Zhendong speaking to her in that kind of voice, so seductive and alluring.

She rolled off Gu Zhendong's arms to the edge of the bed, grabbed all the blankets and wrapped them around herself, then rolled back into the man's arms. Gu Zhendong was not covered with anything at that moment.

He's in poor health; if he catches a cold and dies, I'll really be a widow.

"You deserve to freeze to death! Who told you to bully me like that!"

Lu Huan gave a stubborn snort, but her body betrayed her by pulling the blanket open and sharing half of it with him.

Lu Huan felt empty in bed. Gu Zhendong had been outside for a while, his body was freezing cold. As soon as he crawled in, he pressed himself against her, making her shiver from the cold.

"Cold~"

"Are you cold?" Gu Zhendong hugged her. "Warm up before you sleep?"

Actually, he hadn't had enough, but he let her go for now because her body couldn't take it.

Lu Huan: ...

Lu Huan really wanted to kick Gu Zhendong off the bed and screw him.

Have you no humanity left?!

Time flies, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Christmas is just around the corner.

Since Lu Huan has no classes these past two days, she's been frequently going to Gao Hui's studio to finish recording all the voice-over work she's taken on.

Recently, in addition to recording regular videos, Lu Huan also has to add some funny short clips for the studio, so she drinks a lot of water almost every day.

Just as she finished singing a short piece, Gao Hui suddenly stood outside the recording studio and waved excitedly at her.

"Huanhuan, I have a big money-making project I want to collaborate on with you!"

Upon hearing about making money, Lu Huan became interested. "What is it?"

Gao Hui took Lu Huan to her office, brewed a cup of fine tea, and then explained everything to Lu Huan in detail.

The big project she mentioned was a major IP game production project that a large company in a neighboring city had been planning for nearly two years, and they had been looking for a suitable voice actress for the female lead.

Even before the game was officially announced, many gamers were already waiting for the closed beta test.
