Chapter 33. Gratitude should be sincere.
The next morning.
Gu Yushu woke up early. In the morning light, Shen Zhen clutched the silk dress at her chest, nestled in her arms. Her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were slightly pouting, giving her a rare, charmingly innocent look.
Gu Yushu's heart had already melted into a pool of water. Even in her sleep, being nestled against Shen Zhen like this filled her heart with joy, and she couldn't bear to wake her.
No matter how strong Shen Zhen is, she is still a weak girl in Yu Shu's eyes. Yu Shu hopes that she can be a little weak and that he can rely on her a little.
Gu Yushu carefully picked up her phone and texted Chu Pei, telling him not to disturb her today unless there was something important at the company, and to prepare some valuable items that elderly people like and send them over immediately. As for the pastries that her grandmother loves, they would go buy them together when Zhenzhen wakes up later.
Gu Yushu desperately wanted to gain the approval of Shen Zhen's family. Her grandmother and Tuantuan were Shen Zhen's most important family members, and she hoped that Shen Zhen could be happy and have a greater sense of security.
Tuantuan can already pester her to play games; now all that's missing is Grandma! Once Grandma approves of them, she'll take Shenzhen abroad to get married. They'll truly form their own family; the "home" she talks about and the "home" Shenzhen talks about will be the same home.
As for that old man from the Gu family, his opinion doesn't matter! Back then, there was internal strife within the Gu family, her parents divorced, and she was kidnapped; it was Zhenzhen who rescued her. The old man eventually intervened and brought her back to the Gu family, for which Yu Shu was deeply grateful. However, if her grandfather were to obstruct her relationship with Chen Zhen, she would absolutely not agree.
Chu Pei's lips twitched on the other end of the phone. The CEO was definitely swamped with work if he wasn't at the company, and he'd have to prepare expensive items for the elderly. Who can tell me why being an assistant is so difficult? Has any wealthy young master taken a liking to him? He didn't want to try anymore, sigh!
...
When Jiang Yu woke up in the morning, she felt sore all over. Just as she was about to move, she touched something soft behind her, which startled her.
"Hmm... I'll sleep a little longer..."
The voice behind her was hoarse, as if she hadn't woken up yet, and the other person's arm was wrapped around her waist.
"Oh my god!" It's Zhong Li! Jiang Yu's head felt like it was going to explode. Last night, Zhong Li took her to meet the competition judges. What happened after that? She had drunk a little alcohol and vaguely remembered that she had pestered Zhong Li to take her home.
But! But! How did it end up on the bed?! Jiang Yu's heart trembled. This... this was her first time! Looking at the marks of lovemaking on her body, Jiang Yu's eyes quickly welled up with tears, and a strong sense of grievance and shame filled her heart.
She hadn't had a proper relationship yet, and she originally wanted to save her best for the person she loved most, but now... Besides, based on what Zhong Li said before, she must have thought of her as a casual person.
Jiang Yu may seem bold and outspoken, but deep down she's a very conservative and cautious girl. Her previous pursuit of Zhong Li was simply because she liked her type and genuinely wanted to date her.
Jiang Yu gently removed Zhong Li's hand, her eyes filled with confusion and pain. She carefully got up, dressed, and tiptoed out of the hotel.
She didn't know how to face Zhong Li, let alone how to face herself.
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Yu felt a bit clear-headed from the wind and turned on her phone to chat with Shen Zhen. Unexpectedly, she discovered that the video of her and Shen Zhen's performance last night had gone viral online, and they had become known as the "Ginger Couple."

There were also dissenting voices, with many calling them disgusting and others curious about their identities and why they suddenly became a couple. But most of the comments were blessings and jokes.
Jiang Yu stared blankly at the chaotic information online. She didn't know how things had turned out this way. She and Zhenzhen had only sung one song, so how did it end up online?
Should she go back to Zhong Li and ask her for help? But then Jiang Yu thought for a moment and decided to talk to Zhenzhen instead; her boss, Mr. Gu, would definitely be able to handle it.
"Zhenzhen, have you checked your phone?"
Jiang Yu's weak voice came from the phone. Shen Zhen wondered why Jiang Yu seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Not yet, I've been busy since I got up this morning. What's wrong?" Shen Zhen replied while packing the things she was bringing for her grandmother.
When she woke up in the morning, Chu Pei had brought over a lot of things, from health supplements to gold and silver jewelry. Yu Shu said that this time she had to get her grandmother's permission, so it had to be a grand affair, and she insisted on bringing everything with her.
Jiang Yu lowered her head and said dejectedly, "Someone uploaded our video to the internet, and now there are all sorts of rumors about it. I'm afraid it will affect you."
Shen Zhen stopped what she was doing and paused for a moment. "Xiao Yu'er, don't worry, I'll ask A-Shu right away."
Gu Yushu looked up from among the pile of items and asked softly, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"
Shen Zhen handed her phone to Yu Shu, "I don't know who uploaded my Xiao Yu'er's video online this morning..."
Gu Yushu frowned as she read through the comments, some good and some bad. What worried her most was that someone had revealed some personal information about Shen Zhen and Jiang Yu.
Gu Yushu immediately called Chu Pei, "Chu Pei, process all the videos of Zhenzhen and Jiang Yu online, and release information about the dance competition in the name of the Gu family, urging everyone to focus on the competition itself."
"I don't want to see any comments about Zhenzhen online, neither good nor bad."
Just as Chu Pei was about to hang up, Yu Shu continued, "If you do a good job, you'll get a bonus at the end of the year."
Chu Pei wearily pinched the bridge of his nose and hung up the phone. What was going on with all these calls? He'd just finished a call with President Zhong, and now his boss, President Gu, was calling. Damn it… being a working person is really too much to handle…
After Gu Yushu gave his instructions, about ten minutes later, Shen Zhen checked the internet again, but there was no longer any news about her and Jiang Yu online.
Gu Yushu leaned close to Shen Zhen, waved his phone, and looked at her expectantly, "Zhenzhen, look, it's solved!"
Shen Zhen chuckled. Was this the same person who was so aloof and dignified in the study last night?
She squinted, leaned forward, and quickly kissed Yu Shu's lips. "Not bad! Our Shu is really amazing now!"
The softness on his lips vanished in an instant. Gu Yushu reached out and held Shen Zhen's head, while his other hand wrapped around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and gently pried open her teeth, deepening their penetration and exchanging breaths.
Just as Shen Zhen felt she could hardly breathe, Yu Shu finally released her and murmured, "Zhenzhen, gratitude should be sincere!"
Shen Zhen's cheeks flushed crimson, her breathing quickened, her chest heaved, and she couldn't help but moan softly, "A-Shu..."
Gu Yushu kissed Shen Zhen's reddened eyes, calmed himself down for a while, and then said in a calm tone, "Alright, let's go buy some pastries and visit Grandma!"
