Chapter 33 Coveted 33
There are enough rooms in the Yu family, so it is not a problem for Gu Rong to stay here temporarily.
The problem is where to arrange the room.
According to Lu Yu, he was eager to arrange the place where Gu Rong was going to sleep in his room. He didn't want to pretend anymore. Anyway, he had already "come out grandly" tonight. At this moment, he wanted to stick to Gu Rong all the time. The tail behind him was almost swung into a propeller, and he was about to take off.
Although it was unfair to say this to Uncle Gu, but during the conversation between Gu Rong and Gu Yuechuan, Lu Yu tried his best to restrain himself and barely suppressed the upward curve of his lips.
But his eyes were always fixed on Gu Rong, and he couldn't pull them away.
Yu Zhaolin simply couldn't bear to watch it.
But living in one room is definitely impossible, no matter how hard you try. After all, it is not difficult to clean up a room.
So Lu Yu could only suppress his little thoughts.
But in the middle of the night, Lu Yu still secretly knocked on Gu Rong's room.
Otherwise he would not be able to sleep tonight.
The night was dark and the lights in the corridor were not on. Lu Yu groped his way to Gu Rong's door in the darkness and stood there quietly, but his heart was actually not at peace.
He kept thinking about everything that happened today, from being discovered by Su Linyu to coming out. In fact, Lu Yu had always been uncertain in his heart. As he said, this was not in his plan. With this unexpected incident in the middle, he was not sure how Gu Rong would react.
Even if there is no reaction, he can stand in front of Gu Rong and take responsibility for it all.
But things turned out to be even better than Lu Yu had imagined.
It seemed that he took ten steps towards Gu Rong before Gu Rong responded with one step, but in fact, Gu Rong had been standing there waiting for him.
The door opened.
Gu Rong's figure appeared at the door.
There was only a small light on in the room, and the light yellow halo seemed warm and healing.
Finally, they had the chance to be alone together. Lu Yu couldn't help but walk forward and hugged Gu Rong tightly.
"Can I have you now?"
Gu Rong seemed to laugh, raised his arms and hugged Lu Yu: "You are already hugging me."
Lu Yu couldn't help but hug Gu Rong tighter.
"Then I won't let go."
Lu Yu had been wondering what Gu Rong wanted all along, and he had been trying, and now, he was finally sure.
That night, Lu Yu didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to hug Gu Rong. Neither of them said much, as if they both knew something tacitly. Until the next day, Gu Rong went to school. His thesis entered the defense stage and he was very busy these days. However, Lu Yu took a leave and went directly to Gu's house.
Although he really wanted Gu Rong to live with him forever, it was not in this way.
Because he had sent a message to Gu Yuechuan in advance requesting a meeting, and also asked Lu Ting for help, when Lu Yu arrived at Gu's house, Gu Yuechuan and Lu Ting were both there.
But when Gu Yuechuan saw him, his face was expressionless.
This was because of Lu Ting's consideration, so he was not kicked out directly.
"Uncle Gu."
Gu Yuechuan was still quite calm, at least much calmer than yesterday: "Lu Yu, I'm pretty good to you, right?"
"Uncle Gu is very good to me."
Lu Yu answered very straightforwardly.
Even though Gu Yuechuan was the type who loved everyone in the Gu family, Lu Yu couldn't deny that Gu Yuechuan was indeed good to him. He had been showing a lot of kindness to him from the very beginning, and even paid attention to his integration into the Gu family. The fact that he would ask Gu Rong to take him out to play from time to time was very telling.
But on the other hand, Gu Yuechuan's neglect of Gu Rong to some extent is also obvious.
"Since you know I treat you well, why are you having an affair with my son behind my back?"
Gu Yuechuan became more and more dissatisfied as he spoke, not caring about Lu Ting's presence: "Why did you have to find my son when there are so many people to look for? Gu Rong originally had no such inclination at all——"
"Do you really understand Gu Rong?"
"What?"
Gu Yuechuan was caught off guard: "Are you trying to reason with me? Don't say that to me. I can think of several ways to start a topic like yours. Besides, I don't understand my son. Do you understand him? Can you understand my son better than me? Don't joke! I raised Gu Rong from childhood!"
“Whether you know a person or not does not depend on the length of time.”
Lu Yu didn't look like he was seeking recognition, but more like he was here to battle with Gu Yuechuan alone: "I don't mean to deny your dedication to Gu Rong, nor do I mean that you really don't understand Gu Rong. It's just that in some aspects, your kindness to Gu Rong often doesn't meet his real needs."
"Just like how good you are to me, sometimes it is not only a burden to me, but also a burden to Gu Rong."
Gu Yuechuan's expression turned grim: "So it's my fault, right?"
Lu Yu pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Gu, do you know that Gu Rong didn't actually want to take me out to play at first? You chose to remarry, which is your freedom, but you also have to let your son bear the thought of wanting to love the whole family after your remarriage. As a beneficiary, I actually have no right to say anything, but this is actually unfair to Gu Rong."
"You are forcing Gu Rong to feel happy too."
Whether as a father, he never discovered Gu Rong's hidden illness, or as a father, he never knew Gu Rong's desire for maternal love, Gu Yuechuan was not qualified.
Of course, Gu Rong has now successfully come to terms with himself, but Lu Yu still wants to tell Gu Yuechuan about this, and now is the right opportunity.
Gu Yuechuan was somewhat shocked by these remarks and was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he said, "Did Gu Rong tell you this?"
Lu Yu shook his head: "He never said that."
"But every time he followed your instructions and came to see me, he was very unhappy, and I guess you never knew this."
"Also, Gu Rong always stays at the Su family for a while after the New Year. Have you never thought that he not only wants to spend time with his mother, but also wants you to come over?"
Lu Yu glanced at Lu Ting, a look of apology flashing in his eyes. After Lu Ting nodded, he continued, "After you remarried, he didn't stay at the Su family this year and didn't hold out any hope. Just like when people reach a certain stage, they always have to learn to grow up. In the past, Gu Rong didn't want to face reality, but now he has to."
"You think Gu Rong has become sensible because he paid the price of growing up."
Gu Yuechuan remained silent for a long time.
He didn't recover until he took a deep breath, but he still said with a little dissatisfaction: "So the purpose of your coming here today is to ask me to compensate Gu Rong and agree with you?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Yu shook his head.
"Uncle Gu, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to coerce you. I just wanted to let you know that Gu Rong needs someone who will never leave him, never betray him, never abandon him, treat him as his everything, pamper him for no reason, love him, meet all his needs, and put him first in everything—"
Lu Yu said solemnly: "Although I am still a student now, from the moment I confirm my feelings for Gu Rong, my present and future will belong to Gu Rong."
"The one who can marry Gu Rong will definitely be me."
Ding.
It was a very light sound, not as loud as 01's sudden shout, but it made Gu Rong aware of something.
[What's going on, Host? The mission progress is almost full?!]
01 stretched out his little hand and looked up and down the mission progress board, turning it over and over for a long time: [Why did it suddenly increase so much? Is the mission about to succeed? ]
[But that's not right. Isn't the male protagonist still a student? He's not wealthy or famous, right?]
01 is puzzled and scratches his head.
But Gu Rong smiled.
[Ah, yes! Could it be that the shortcut the host mentioned earlier has worked? ]
01 Grinding his fists: [So, does that mean our world mission is about to succeed? ]
Gu Rong hummed: "Maybe a little bit more."
01: [What’s missing?]
That day, Gu Yuechuan asked Lu Yu, after saying these words, did he lose all his self?
Lu Yu’s answer was that he did not think that doing these things conflicted with maintaining his own self, he was just loving someone seriously.
This is his basic law of love, and it only applies to Gu Rong.
Because Gu Rong needed it, he could feel it.
Even Lu Yu could feel that Gu Rong just needed him to express his attitude so that he could stand still and respond to him.
He didn't just give.
Because the person you are chasing is soft-hearted enough.
Therefore, Lu Yu was willing to give Gu Rong all he could give, and his heart had long been fully revealed to Gu Rong.
Although empty talk is vulgar, it works as long as it works.
Anyway, after that day, Gu Yuechuan's attitude gradually softened.
At first, he called Gu Rong back home. Of course, Gu Yuechuan said "called", but from Gu Rong's point of view, it was "invited". Although he was still a little stubborn, at least he was no longer tough. It was just more or less awkward. It might be because Gu Yuechuan was looking for a new way to get along with Gu Rong, so he was still adapting.
Su Linyu went abroad again.
Before going abroad, she sent a letter to Gu Rong, in which she mentioned that Lu Yu had also come to see her. As for what they talked about, Su Linyu did not reveal it.
She just told Gu Rong that she had not fulfilled her mother's responsibilities for so many years, and she really had no right to take care of these things, and she was very sorry about that.
But after so many years, she no longer knows how to get along with Gu Rong. The only thing she can do now is to learn not to impose her emotions on Gu Rong and learn to let go of some obsessions. She hopes that when she has dealt with everything and returns to China completely, they can learn how to get along with each other and have more time to understand each other.
Lu Yu took care of everything.
He helped Gu Rong get through graduation season smoothly, but after Gu Rong successfully graduated, he did not take any further action for a while.
Gu Rong was not in a hurry about this, he had plenty of patience to wait.
After graduation, Gu Rong followed Gu Yuechuan's wishes and joined Gu's company to lay the foundation for taking over Gu's company.
Originally, some veterans of the group had complaints, but after a while, these people were speechless. Gu Rong was fully capable of taking over the company and even achieved impressive results in a short period of time. He silenced everyone with facts, quickly gained a foothold in the group, and his net worth doubled.
Lu Yu learned to drive and got his driver's license. After that, he would pick up Gu Rong and drop her off at get off work whenever he had time.
Their intimacy was not concealed at all. With Gu Rong's tacit consent, Lu Yu wanted to let everyone know about his relationship with Gu Rong. Like a large dog on the loose, he wanted to leave full marks on Gu Rong. He was very possessive and watched Gu Rong very closely, to the extent that if Yu Zhaolin said one more word to Gu Rong, Lu Yu would be alert and look over.
Yu Zhaolin had to complain to Gu Rong privately: "He's not done yet. After the relationship between you two has gone through a clear road, why has he become more petty?"
"Can you really tolerate this?"
Gu Rong laughed: "How can I not bear it? It's quite cute."
Yu Zhaolin: “…”
While enjoying the puppy's selfless love, you should always satisfy some of its little wishes.
He needs me so much, and I'm the only one, so what can't I satisfy?
However, Gu Rong originally thought that Lu Yu might not be ready yet. After all, Lu Yu was only promoted to sophomore year after a summer vacation. But one morning, Lu Yu suddenly woke up Gu Rong from her sleep, took out two plane tickets, and whispered to Gu Rong: "Let's get married."
Gu Rong glanced at the time.
This day was the third day of October, which coincidentally was also November 22, their birthdays.
What a wonderful coincidence.
Gu Rong couldn't help but glance at Lu Yu: "Why choose this day?"
Lu Yu lowered his head and kissed Gu Rong: "Because this day is very meaningful."
"Because it's both of our birthdays?"
"Yes and no."
Lu Yu looked at Gu Rong and whispered, "There's another reason. It's because today, I got to know you again."
Her heart seemed to be hit. Gu Rong stood up with the plane ticket and kissed him back: "Okay, let's get married."
The two of them secretly changed their clothes, without even taking their luggage, and rushed directly to the airport, where they flew abroad.
They found a church, registered for marriage, and said "I do" with the blessing of the priest. Everything happened so naturally. Until they really confirmed the relationship and walked out of the church with the certificate, looking at the sunlight outside and listening to the familiar progress bar prompt sound in their mind, Gu Rong felt the reality.
——He married Lu Yu.
The mission was successful.
Why?
01 was so excited, but still didn’t quite understand.
How do you take this shortcut?
[The conditions for the mission to succeed require the male protagonist to be successful, famous, and wealthy enough to compete with the Gu family, correct?]
Yes, yes.
Gu Rong smiled. "But the conditions for this mission's success are actually quite broad. Lu Yu has been adopted into the Yu family, and his identity and status have changed. Now he's married to me... Calculate how much wealth he'll receive after marriage, and how much he'll inherit from the Yu family. Doesn't that make him quite wealthy?"
【As for success and fame...】
Gu Rong raised an eyebrow: [Being able to marry me means he has achieved success. He has succeeded.]
01Unclear Jueli: [Is that so?!]
Of course... barely.
After all, the water was released so heavily, there was nothing he could do if he wanted to say no.
Gu Rong couldn't help but chuckle. He just wanted to take a gamble, but he didn't expect that he would actually succeed.
So there was at least a 40-50% certainty that the protagonist of this world and the person who created 01, the "pushing force behind the scenes," were definitely closely connected.
After all, he succeeded even though he met such far-fetched conditions.
Gu Rong looked up at the clear and free sky: [So, 01, what happens after the mission is successful?]
Ah, oh.
01: [The host has two choices: one is to continue to stay in this world until a natural death, and the other is to leave immediately. ]
Hearing the latter part of the sentence, Gu Rong's expression flashed: [Leave immediately?]
"But am I not a character in this world? If I leave, what will become of my identity? Will it still be a trusteeship?"
[Huh? I don't know.] 01 scratched his head.
Gu Rong: [ ]
So cunning.
I'm not talking about 01.
01 is just a little fool.
[Host, what is your choice?] 01 asked curiously.
At the same time, Lu Yu's voice also sounded beside him——
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Rong retracted his gaze and turned his head to meet Lu Yu's gaze, which was full of him: "I'm looking at you now."
Lu Yu smiled with unusual satisfaction, and reached out to hook Gu Rong's hand: "Then you can always look at me, I will always be where you can see me."
"I know."
Gu Rong also smiled, as if he was helpless.
Although he could leave the world immediately and start the mission of the next world right away, but...how could he bear to make the puppy sad.
I choose to stay in this world.
