Chapter 22 Coveted 22
"Arong, are you still blaming me?"
The two men came to the deck, and Yu Zhaolin went straight to the point, probably wanting to make things clear.
It was still daylight and the cruise ship was moving very slowly, but the party had already begun on board. All kinds of sounds of laughter and fun could be heard, as if the air had become very noisy.
Gu Rong leaned sideways against the fence with a relaxed posture.
These days, he got the method of cultivating mental power from 01, and he was also constantly experimenting on his own. After drinking, he adjusted the metabolism of alcohol in his body. When he felt something, he deliberately suppressed it and regulated his body by trial and error. This feeling almost made Gu Rong a little addicted.
——This feeling of having your body under control.
Gu Rong has been trying it tirelessly.
He also deliberately kept a distance from Lu Yu.
The world needs the protagonist to grow, needs him to be a pusher, and "help" the protagonist to go through setbacks and hardships - his hand was disabled, he was forced to give up medicine and go into business, and start all over again. His adoptive mother's marriage broke down, she became depressed and died of depression, which resulted in the protagonist becoming a lonely man in the end.
However, although the male protagonist lost his dreams and loved ones, he tempered his will, achieved success, and eventually built his own business empire from scratch.
Very good, this is very male-like.
And he, as a stepping stone, will eventually get the retribution he deserves.
These are the suggestions given in the action guide.
Anyway, the final condition for the success of the mission must be that the identity and status of the male protagonist have a qualitative leap, he must be reborn from the ashes and reach the pinnacle of his life.
This sounds like a very inspiring story at first glance.
But in Gu Rong's opinion, this is actually a horror story.
Even if you eventually achieve success in terms of status, it will be beyond recognition.
After sacrificing and losing so much, is this person still the same person?
Of course, the most important thing is to sacrifice him.
Gu Rong wouldn't do that.
Fortunately, the degree of freedom is so high, and as long as the final mission conditions are met, success is considered. There is so much room for maneuver, and it would be a waste not to do it. What kind of experience will allow the male protagonist to grow in this process is up to Gu Rong to decide. In his opinion, Lu Yu's biggest problem now is that he is too rational.
To be rational, to put it bluntly, is boring.
There are no fluctuations in life, this is probably what Lu Yu wants.
Following the procedures step by step is what Lu Yu expected.
What Gu Rong has to do is to break the barriers that Lu Yu has built for himself.
In the action guide, the internal driving force that prompts Lu Yu to constantly change is the suffering and setbacks he has suffered, and the cost of these suffering and setbacks needs to be borne by Gu Rong. Since Gu Rong does not intend to sacrifice himself, Lu Yu's internal driving force must be replaced by something else to prompt Lu Yu to make changes actively or be forced to do so and no longer be content with the status quo.
Thanks to the mission actions and the freedom of this body, there are actually many ways and means to change Lu Yu's internal driving force.
But who made Gu Rong forced to draw the sex addiction physique?
Why is everything for the male protagonist?
Better to serve him.
Anyway, as long as Lu Yu has an urgent desire to move forward, that's enough.
He is working very hard on this.
If the male protagonist is destined to have a so-called successful life, then why can't his inner driving force be him?
Wouldn't it be better to become what the male protagonist pursues, what he urgently desires to move forward, and always stand above him?
Thinking of this, Gu Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He must have been very close to success.
Yu Zhaolin looked at Gu Rong's beautiful face with a bright smile and couldn't help but murmured: "A Rong?"
"I don't blame you."
Gu Rong stopped laughing, shook his head, and replied to Yu Zhaolin with the same words he had replied to Yan Xubai: "I don't have the right to blame you."
"How could that be?"
For some reason, Yu Zhaolin's tone was a little anxious. "Of course you have a position. I mean, it's not just you, Xu Bai and Zhi Xia also have positions. The four of us have the best relationship, but I didn't discuss my decision to go abroad with you and just made it straight away. You're angry... It's normal for you to have opinions."
"But even so, you will go abroad."
Gu Rong's tone was quite normal: "There's actually no need to talk about this now. It's all in the past, and I'm speaking from the heart. Whether you go abroad or not is your own business. We, your friends, don't have the right to influence your decision. I really don't blame you. I was ignorant and immature before, but I've figured it out over the years."
The implication is that Yu Zhaolin really doesn't need to worry about it.
But after he said this, Yu Zhaolin's expression changed even more.
"Arong, you are still blaming me."
Gu Rong: “?”
No, isn’t what he said considerate?
Yu Zhaolin took a breath and let it out gently, his face darkening. "Actually, my decision to go abroad was mainly because I desperately wanted to escape from home. You know, I've been burdened with guilt since I was eight years old. Although my family knows about it and doesn't blame me, it's always been a thorn in my parents' and my heart."
"For so many years, every time I think about it, I always feel depressed, so when I grow up, I desperately want to escape and give myself a break."
"But these years are enough. I can't keep hiding away."
Yu Zhaolin smiled and said, "I don't know if it's because my parents and I have been separated for so many years, but our relationship has become more relaxed and intimate. Plus, my parents are getting older, so it's time for me to come back and fulfill my filial duties to them, and also to take care of my brother’s side—"
"Your brother?" Gu Rong asked in surprise.
"Yeah, did you forget?"
Yu Zhaolin said: "That's it——"
"ah!!!"
Before he could finish his words, a scream was heard, followed by several panicked shouts.
"Help! Someone fell into the sea!"
“Someone come quickly!!”
Someone fell into the sea!
In an instant, Yu Zhaolin and Gu Rong's expressions also changed.
The two of them hurried to the scene of the incident. At the same time, Yu Zhaolin took out his mobile phone to contact the captain and asked the captain to stop the cruise ship immediately!
The place where a crowd gradually gathered in front was not far from where they were talking. They arrived there soon after a few quick steps. Gu Rong soon saw several familiar people standing there. Their expressions were unprecedentedly panicked, especially when they saw Gu Rong rushing over. Their faces changed drastically, and they opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something.
At this moment, Gu Rong had a bad feeling.
He looked around but didn't see Lu Yu.
The next second, Gu Rong simply walked over to Sheng Jing, Qiao Jiming and the others, and grabbed one of them by the collar: "Where's Lu Yu? You should have seen him get on the boat with me, right?!"
“He, he…”
Qiao Jiming was speechless and subconsciously raised his hand, pointing to the fence on the deck.
There were already quite a few people there looking around and shouting something.
After Yu Zhaolin finished calling the captain, he called for the paramedics to come quickly. To prevent any accidents, the cruise ship had professional personnel and complete equipment. So, although Yu Zhaolin was anxious, he was not panicking. There was still time. As long as -
"Fuck! A Rong jumped down to save people!"
"Damn it, Gu Rong, you're crazy!!"
The voices of Yan Xubai and Li Zhixia rang out, cutting through the noisy crowd and reaching Yu Zhaolin's ears accurately. Yu Zhaolin almost didn't hold his phone.
Gu Rong? !
How could Gu Rong——
Without thinking too much, Yu Zhaolin rushed forward, directing the rescue while observing the situation in the sea.
It was Lu Yu who fell into the sea, but Gu Rong couldn't wait for the professionals to arrive and jumped into the sea to save him himself?!
Fortunately, the paramedics arrived quickly, and they threw down countless lifebuoys. Gu Rong seemed to have learned professional rescue skills, and he quickly rescued the person.
The two were dragged onto the deck and Lu Yu fell into a coma.
Gu Rong directly lifted Lu Yu's jaw and gave him artificial respiration.
Yu Zhaolin stood aside and couldn't help but look at Lu Yu and then at Gu Rong.
Yan Xubai was also shocked and confused, and his expression has not recovered yet.
He never thought that Gu Rong would jump down and save people directly.
This is not like Gu Rong's style at all!
"If it was me who fell into the sea, would A Rong also jump in to save me?" Yan Xubai couldn't help but ask Li Zhixia beside him.
Li Zhixia rolled her eyes: "If you are not afraid of death, you can try it."
Yan Xubai smiled awkwardly.
Let’s just forget it.
He is afraid of death.
On the other side, Lu Yu woke up coughing and was checked by the accompanying medical staff. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, just a little cold. Both of them needed to go back to the room to take a hot shower. After all, the weather was still very cold, the temperature was not high, and the sea water was also cold. Although drowning was not a serious problem, it was very likely to catch a cold.
Gu Rong felt that he was fine, but Lu Yu's face looked very pale.
Sheng Jing, Qiao Jiming and others seemed to want to say something, but he and Lu Yu really needed a hot shower right now, so he took Lu Yu back to the room on the top floor.
Gu Rong quickly finished her shower and came out, knocking on Lu Yu's room door.
The door opened and Lu Yu's pale face appeared behind the door.
Gu Rong looked at him and asked, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"not good."
Lu Yu stood behind the door, his back to the light source. His face seemed to be hidden in the light and shadow, and his gaze looked particularly dark and deep, as if he was hiding something.
"Can you come in and keep me company?"
Lu Yu: "I seem to have a fever."
After he finished speaking, he moved aside to leave space for Gu Rong to enter.
Gu Rong walked in and touched Lu Yu's forehead. It was indeed very hot. Lu Yu had just finished taking a shower and seemed to have no energy to put on clothes. He was only wearing a bathrobe.
"I'll ask someone to bring the medicine over—"
The medicine arrived. Gu Rong watched Lu Yu take it and then looked through the instructions: "This medicine has some sedative ingredients. You should feel sleepy after taking it."
"That's perfect. Just take a nap. Everything will be over when you wake up."
"Will you stay here with me?" Lu Yu asked the same question again, and when Gu Rong lowered his head to read the instructions, he looked at Gu Rong unscrupulously.
Gu Rong touched Lu Yu's hair and asked, "Are you really scared?"
"Yeah, I was a little scared."
"Then go to sleep, I'll accompany you."
Gu Rong sat on the sofa beside the bed: "Don't worry, I'll keep you company."
As the medicine took effect, Lu Yu really started to feel sleepy.
Unable to resist the sleepiness, he slowly closed his eyes.
But it probably didn't take long before Lu Yu was woken up by the uncontrollable fear and desire in his heart. He couldn't wait to look at the sofa beside the bed.
No one.
fraud.
fraud.
