Chapter 14 First Date

Gu Yunsu decided to help Li Jianxiong quit smoking.

Although it was none of her business, and although everything in this family had nothing to do with her - she had clearly planned to make the money and run away - but as a pacifist, or just as a normal person, she knew the importance of family harmony, and was prepared to do her best to maintain it, reluctantly but helplessly.

Quitting smoking is not an easy task.

This is a double torture to people's mind and body.

Gu Yunsu suffered greatly from this.

Ever since she boasted that she would help Li Jianxiong quit smoking, hard times have begun.

Li Jianxiong became addicted to smoking when he was in his thirties. Although he is not an old smoker, he is also a veteran in the tobacco world. If he wants to quit smoking, he will definitely have a withdrawal reaction.

Anxiety, irritability, headache, worry...

Is it easy to get rid of nicotine? She is graceful, mysterious, and beautiful, with a haunting fragrance. She is like a Pavlov dog, training you to be a captive who trembles and becomes restless when you see her.

The days without her are dull, her pretty figure haunts my dreams and soul. It's so enchanting that it can make the most vulgar and tough man write a sad poem.

There is almost no shortcut to getting over her. You can only endure the day. Just like a broken heart, you have to bear it even if it is worse than death.

Gu Yunsu consulted a friend who had helped her family quit smoking. The friend shuddered when she thought of those days and gave her advice in a sad tone: "He needs the support of his family."

Gu Yunsu was very confident: "Then I can definitely do it."

The friend shook his head and patted her shoulder without saying a word.

But she didn't understand the deeper meaning.

Until Li Jianxiong started exercising to divert his attention.

"That's good," the two ladies encouraged him, "you can also exercise at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

But the problem is that Li Jianxiong always invites Gu Yunsu to join him.

"Susu, let's go! Life lies in exercise! Come with me for a run!"

"Sitting in front of the computer for a long time is bad for your neck! Come with me for a run!"

"Hey Susu, don't be so listless all day, come with me and go for a run!"

Running, running, running. Li Jianxiong is mysteriously fond of running. Those who don’t know him would think he is a gold medal athlete of the national team.

But Gu Yunsu had never passed the physical fitness test since she was a child. When she was in college, she ran the 800-meter race. Before the test, she vowed to cross the finish line hand in hand with her friend. As a result, she fell behind halfway. When her friend came to pull her, she ruthlessly shook off the other person's hand and said angrily: "Run by yourself! Don't worry about me!"

This is a sports waste. In order not to dampen Lee Chien-hsiung's enthusiasm, he followed him every night like a rehab. After persisting for a week, he finally broke down and took out a pack of cigarettes and threw them in front of Lee Chien-hsiung: "Smoke! Who cares if they live or die!"

Li Jianxiong didn't dare to provoke her again.

But even so, Gu Yunsu still felt it was very hard.

Since Li Jianxiong stopped smoking, his food intake has doubled. He would hold a chocolate bar in his mouth to practice smoking, and he also ate a lot for meals. Gu Yunsu, a rookie chef, had always found it difficult to cook for a large family, but now it was like a fifth person had appeared out of nowhere, forcing her to cut two more potatoes for stir-frying.

Not to mention that he had to keep a close eye on Wu Limei all the time, for fear that she would have a headache or a fever, and accidentally cry out in her hands, which would be a serious sin.

The burden of life weighed on Gu Yunsu, which was more tiring than work. When she was mopping the floor, picking bean sprouts, and throwing clothes into the washing machine, she couldn't help but think, "How sad! How sad! How come she, a charming single young woman with ideals, ambitions, and career plans, was inexplicably locked up in this home?"

Gu Yunsu looked at herself in the mirror and shed bitter tears. She was forced to take the initiative to go on a date with Xu Wenbin.

Fortunately, there is Xu Wenbin, she thought at this time.

Xu Wenbin is knowledgeable, polite, and occasionally a little humorous, which gradually amazes Gu Yunsu.

Speaking of the baseness of human nature, she was clearly hurt by her cold-blooded ex when her last relationship just ended, so she made up her mind that next time she must find an honest man who knows nothing, play the nice guy card first, and then fall in love.

But at first she thought Xu Wenbin was honest and didn't want to develop a relationship with him at all. It was only now that she discovered that this man had two faces that she started to feel interested in him again.

She deserves to be hurt because she likes bad men so much.

Of course, maybe it's just because the heavy burden of life makes every outsider who has nothing to do with her family look lovable.

Gu Yunsu told Xu Wenbin the story of how Li Jianxiong tortured her, which made him laugh: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Is it true?" she said indignantly. "I have aged ten years in just one week!"

"Well, you've worked hard too."

"Is that so?" Gu Yunsu said again, and suddenly realized, "Hey, what do you mean? I am not the one who suffered the most?"

“But quitting smoking is really hard.”

Gu Yunsu was a little disdainful: "No matter how hard it is, it's harder than my mother's? The responsibilities of both of them have become a ball, and they are all thrown on us women. Who will speak for us? Besides, we are breathing second-hand smoke, and he is breathing first-hand. Then who is the biggest beneficiary of his quitting smoking? Isn't it himself?! What's there to sympathize with him for the hard work he does for himself?"

"I was just... sighing casually." Xu Wenbin did not argue. He pretended to be pitiful and explained himself tremblingly.

Gu Yunsu was amused.

Knowing when to show weakness is also one of Xu Wenbin's strengths.

There is room for debate about everything in this world, and some people like to be the winners of all debates.

But Gu Yunsu thinks this is boring, especially in ordinary daily conversations, where there is fun only when there are wins and losses. After all, what we care about is not the result, but the process of interaction.

She has seen men and women who are always strong. They are obsessed with winning and even enjoy suppressing others. It is painful to talk to them. Maybe only masochists like them.

Xu Wenbin added: "But your uncle has worked really hard, quitting smoking and abstaining from sex..." He shook his head, as if he was "mourning for my brother whom I have never met."

Gu Yunsu was still unresponsive and asked blankly, "What do you mean by quitting masturbation..."

Xu Wenbin reminded her: "Didn't they say that the first few months of pregnancy are the most unstable and couples should not have sex?"

Gu Yunsu finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help but think about it again, and quickly stopped: No! There must be a picture!

Gu Yunsu: "You know a lot!"

"Not bad," the other party flirted proudly, exuding coquettishness, "You know everything you need to know. Isn't that reassuring?"

Gu Yunsu thought to himself, "You know what I am doing? It's none of my business. Stop trying to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to me." At the same time, the images of Li Jianxiong and Wu Limei together kept forcing themselves into his mind and couldn't be shaken off.

She raised her eyes and looked at Xu Wenbin sadly: "I hate you."

"Ah?" Xu Wenbin didn't understand.

Gu Yunsu wiped away tears: "I came to see you to get rid of my family troubles, but you are so amazing that I don't even want to go home."

Xu Wenbin burst into laughter, then pointed at himself and said, "Didn't I tell you that you will always have a home to return to?"

This is fucking...

Gu Yunsu couldn't help but wonder if this bastard had investigated her in advance, otherwise how could he hit her heart so accurately?

Invisible seduction is the most deadly. He is using the warmth of family to seduce such a helpless and lonely person. If her willpower is weak, she will be taken down on the spot.

But how could that be possible? Is Gu Yunsu the kind of woman who could be taken down so easily?

She shook her head and blasted away all those sentimental feelings with great passion: "Don't waste your time. I'll take you to conquer the world."

Gu Yunsu took Xu Wenbin to the video game arcade.

When she was an elementary school student, video game arcades were called game halls, where all kinds of people mixed together. The most popular games were slot machines and Street Fighter. Wu Limei had a stereotype about this and did not allow her daughter to enter such places.

Gu Yunsu started getting involved in these bad places, which his mother described as being as dangerous as wolves and tigers, after he entered university.

At that time, she followed her classmates who loved playing to go to Internet cafes, game halls, and even bars and clubs. She liked game halls the most. She was also talented. She could catch dolls quickly and shoot nine out of ten times. She was relatively weak at the dance machine because she was physically weak. But she could beat many male guests in the racing game and left the mysterious name "GYS" ranked first on many machines.

Among them, her best skill is shooting games.

As soon as she picks up the gun, the girl who usually looks quite gentle suddenly exudes a murderous aura, and she shoots people in the head with ruthlessness and quick hands and eyes.

"Killing makes people happy."

The famous quote left by this beautiful killer is still circulating among players in an arcade near a certain university town.

After starting work, Gu Yunsu lost interest in playing, couldn’t make appointments with anyone, and hadn’t been to the video game arcade for several years.

Now, he suddenly touched her beloved spear again, and Gu Yunsu's heart began to pound, and there was nothing else in his eyes.

"I won't leave until I pass customs today!" she said to Xu Wenbin, her face beaming with joy like a happy little sparrow.

She didn't know it at the moment, but in just half an hour she would regret the oath she had made.

Xu Wenbin played very badly.

It's so bad that any 7-year-old kid can win against him.

That would be fine, but he always hindered her at important moments: he insisted on picking up a medical pack even though his health was full, he took away the bullet that Gu Yunsu had set his eyes on, and he died right before the boss appeared... In short, he was like a fool, with clumsy hands, brain and eyes, and could do nothing but cause trouble.

Gu Yunsu knew that he was innocent. He just had no talent and his luck was so bad that all the monsters in the game rushed straight towards him.

But is this an excuse for failure?

no.

The iron-blooded coach Gu Yunsu couldn't control his temper, nor did he have time to care about his image, and he kept swearing the whole time:

"Go ahead, big brother! Don't you need to save the bullet for suicide?!"

"Are you squinting? How can you miss the target every time?"

"Fuck it! I'll deal with them first and then you!"

Xu Wenbin might have been stunned by the scolding. He kept his lips tightly pursed the whole time, like a new recruit who didn't dare to talk back to the instructor and just worked hard under the pressure.

It took him a few days to fully react, and he gave a precise summary of Gu Yunsu's scolding style: "Very pornographic and violent."

Gu Yunsu responded with a shy expression, which was so pretentious that he asked for a beating.

Of course, if things had only gone this far, Gu Yunsu could still comfort himself by saying that "everything is for the sake of showing my true self", so "everything is the best arrangement".

But fate just doesn't know how to stop, and everything is heading in the direction of getting out of control, with no way back.

Simply put, she beat Xu Wenbin.
