Chapter 116 From now on, your present and future belong to me.
The restaurant of Su Yu's house was warm and cozy. The double-flavored pot was bubbling with steam, the red oil was bubbling, and the clear soup was bright and fresh.
"Come on, Jason, this tripe is so crispy!"
"Come on, don't be polite." Su Yu greeted everyone warmly.
"Come to think of it," Su Yu was sipping a piece of beef, "Manman, do you still remember the time when we were caught secretly cooking hot pot in the dormitory in college?"
Gu Manman glanced at Su Yu and smiled helplessly: "How can you not remember? I wrote a 3,000-word self-criticism and posted it on the bulletin board for exhibition. It's so embarrassing."
"Pfft..." Su Yu couldn't help laughing, "That's you! You insisted on craving it, and ended up making the whole floor smelly. The dormitory manager came to our house right after she smelled the odor!"
Gu Manman poked her with the tip of her chopsticks in annoyance: "It was obviously you who wanted to eat it, but you blamed me! You caused several of us to be arrested together, and we have to write self-criticisms until our hands are sore."
"Oh, that's not the point!" Su Yu waved her hand and turned to Jason and Feng Mingzhou, saying with a bit of boasting, "The point is, our lengthy self-criticism was quietly torn off less than half a day after it was posted!"
Jason asked curiously: "Why was it torn off?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Su Yu raised her eyebrows and said in an exaggerated tone, "Our Manman was a celebrity back then. The apology letter written by the goddess herself is as precious as a limited edition signature in the eyes of some people. How many fans are scrambling to collect it!"
Gu Manman felt a little embarrassed by what she said. She lowered her head and drank some juice to hide the smile on her lips.
Feng Mingzhou's gaze fell on Gu Manman's red earlobe, and his eyes became deeper.
"Then I rewrote one and handed it in," Gu Manman added, "but it was gone the next day! I was so angry that I had to print out a copy and post it up. I wonder who would steal the printing paper again!"
"Hahaha, during that period, the bulletin board of our school almost became a confession wall, with all kinds of fancy messages directed at you." Su Yu concluded with a smile.
Jason listened with great interest and looked at Gu Manman: "Wow, sounds like you were very popular."
Gu Manman just smiled and didn't respond.
Feng Mingzhou handed the peeled shrimp meat to the plate in front of Gu Manman.
"I didn't know you were so popular at university."
Su Yu's eyes lit up, as if she had caught some interesting topic: "Then you don't know that the people who pursued Manman back then could line up from the dormitory building to the teaching building! Every time she appeared, the scene was crowded with people."
Jason raised an eyebrow curiously. "Really that sounds incredible!"
Gu Manman shook her head helplessly: "Don't listen to her nonsense, it's exaggerated."
"It's not an exaggeration at all!" Su Yu continued excitedly, "There was a senior who played guitar and sang love songs at the entrance of the cafeteria in order to pursue her, and was almost kicked out by the security guard. There were also people who placed roses all along the path she had to pass, from the dormitory to the teaching building."
Feng Mingzhou's eyes darkened: "So, my Manman has been very popular since she was a child."
Gu Manman lowered her eyes and smiled. She didn't respond, but just lowered her head to pick up the shrimp in the bowl and ate it.
Su Yu winked at Feng Mingzhou and said, "As her eldest daughter, you can imagine my status in school back then."
She deliberately lowered her voice: "Boss Feng, as long as you please me, hehe..."
Gu Manman reached out and patted Su Yu's arm: "Are you blatantly blackmailing my boyfriend?"
"This is called strategic cooperation." Su Yu straightened his back proudly, "After all, I have all your information."
Feng Mingzhou smiled and said, "Ms. Su, I am happy to cooperate with you. But can you show your sincerity first and let me see if your information is worth it?"
Su Yu clapped her hands excitedly: "Once, Manman participated in a campus singing competition, and she forgot the lyrics halfway through singing, and the result was..."
"Su Yu!" Gu Manman widened her eyes and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Jason put down his chopsticks with interest: "What happened then?"
Su Yu grinned: "She actually made up a few lines at random, and everyone said that her writing was better than the original lyrics. Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that her fanboy lover sees beauty in her."
"So, our Manman is not only a school belle, but also a talented woman." Feng Mingzhou took over the conversation and looked at the somewhat embarrassed Gu Manman with gentle eyes.
Gu Manman picked up a piece of yam and put it in her mouth to hide her embarrassment: "That was many years ago."
"There's more!" Su Yu seemed to have opened up.
Gu Manman stuffed a piece of potato into her mouth: "Eat more, all these delicious foods can't fill your mouth!"

After dinner, Gu Manman and Feng Mingzhou said goodbye to Su Yu and his wife and drove back to the villa.
Although the back seat space of Cullinan is spacious, Feng Mingzhou's long legs still look a little aggrieved.
He leaned in the back seat, put his arm around Gu Manman's shoulders and held her in his arms.
The light in the car was dim, and only the flowing lights outside the window occasionally illuminated the outline of his handsome profile.
"I envy Su Yu. She knows so many things that I don't know, and she has been with you for many years."
Gu Manman leaned on his chest and could feel the vibration of his chest when he spoke.
"These are all things of youth and ignorance, not worth mentioning."
Feng Mingzhou lowered his voice a bit: "Manman, you...were you with Zhou Mubai back then?"
Gu Manman's eyes flickered: "Why do you suddenly bring this up?"
"I want to know if you had someone else in your heart before me. Did you and Zhou Mubai really love each other back then?"
Gu Manman raised her head from his arms, met his eyes, and teased, "Why, Mr. Feng, are you even going to eat old vinegar?"
Feng Mingzhou admitted frankly: "Yes."
His frankness startled Gu Manman for a moment, then she chuckled: "Then if I tell you the truth, you'll be unhappy again."
Feng Mingzhou's eyes narrowed and he didn't dare to ask any further. He wanted to know the truth so much, but was afraid that the truth would be too cruel.
"It's all in the past, you don't need to care about it."
"Yes." He retorted almost immediately, "I care about everything about you."
"Then," his voice sounded again, with a hint of nervousness, "what about me after that? The three years you spent at Lanman..."
Gu Manman met his gaze: "No, you haven't had any since then, are you satisfied?"
Feng Mingzhou stared at her intently, as if trying to discern every bit of truth in her words.
After a moment, he suddenly grabbed her chin and lifted it up, then covered her with his warm lips.
As their lips touched, he declared in a hoarse voice: "From now on, your present and future will all belong to me."
