Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Yu Yu is now an eighteen-year-old adult.
Even though Xu Zhaozhao was very careful, Gu Yulin was still more mature than his peers and experienced life and death earlier than them.
Three years ago, Chunshan had already aged naturally and passed away quietly on a peaceful night.
The next day, while searching for a burial site for Chunshan, Gu Yulin unexpectedly discovered the truth that Gu Ru had already passed away.
After that period, Gu Yulin seemed to have grown up overnight.
The childish arrogance and willfulness faded away, and he became more composed—even though he was only 15 years old at the time.
Gu Yulin's grades were far ahead of the others; the other children couldn't even see his taillights.
But even though he was such a genius, no one could truly hate him.
Except when he was sick, Gu Yulin attended almost every class, treated his teachers with great respect, and answered his classmates' questions patiently.
Even in sports competitions, he always ranked high, and every basketball game he played was filled with screams.
He was almost unreal—just like his parents.
As the collagen faded, his facial features became more defined; apart from his eyes, he was practically a carbon copy of Gu Qingyan.
But because of his almond-shaped eyes, which he inherited from Xu Zhaozhao, he was less aloof and distant than Gu Qingyan, and more approachable.
Xiao Kai had always been his deskmate. Xiao Kai really worked hard so that he could attend Hope Primary School and go to junior and senior high school with him.
You can tell from his transformation from chubby to muscular that he has put in a lot of effort.
Gu Yulin wasn't particularly interested in physical labor, but Xiao Kai liked it, so he would spend his free time with Xiao Kai.
Gu Yulin's legend has been circulating at the First High School in the capital for a long time. During his time there, his drawer was always filled with love letters.
It will also come with lots of snacks.
Sometimes when there's no room left, we'll put it on Xiao Kai's desk.
Today is no exception.
Gu Yulin and Xiao Kai walked into the classroom side by side, and the pile of pink and white letters was very eye-catching.
"I'm so dizzy, I'm totally dizzy!" Xiao Kai joked with a laugh.
Gu Yulin remained calm, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking.
After taking their seats, they carefully folded the letters one by one and placed the letters and snacks in the corner of the classroom, on the small table near the door.
Their owners will come and take them back once they know they have been returned.
Upon closer inspection, the words "Do not touch unless owned" are written on it.
Some people with multiple hands had opened several of the letters that Gu Yulin had left here, read them aloud in the corridor between classes, and mocked him.
This was probably the first time Gu Yulin had ever gotten angry at school—he beat the guy up.
This incident caused a huge uproar, but no one stood against Gu Yulin.
Gu Qingyan even went to the school in person and, in front of the homeroom teacher, said, "You did a good job."
That person eventually apologized and dropped out of school.
From then on, no one dared to touch anything on that table.
...
Now in his senior year of high school, while most students are worrying about the college entrance examination, Gu Yulin has already won gold medals in both mathematics and chemistry competitions.
It's a sure thing that I'll be admitted to Beijing University without taking the entrance exam.
However, he did not choose to be admitted to university through the guaranteed admission program, but instead chose to take the college entrance examination with most of his classmates.
"Brother Yu, are you still taking the college entrance exam with us? Are you trying to kill us all?"
Xiao Kai teased him, "Are you exam-oriented? Are you born to love exams?"
"no."
Gu Yulin lifted her eyelids and glanced at him. "My mother said that a life without taking the college entrance examination is incomplete."
So even though he could be admitted to university through a special program, Xu Zhaozhao still hoped that he could take the college entrance examination.
Gu Yulin, who listens to Xu Zhaozhao the most, would never refuse.
For him, it's just another exam; the result won't change.
...
After the 100-day countdown rally, the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and the homeroom teachers' attention to the students has reached its peak.
She had been eyeing that small table in the corner of the classroom for a long time.
Even the envelopes and snacks that appear on his desk every day are mostly returned.
But many people still enjoy giving gifts, hoping that one day, they won't find anything they gave away on this table.
As the days went by, the items on the table not only didn't decrease, but actually tended to increase.
As a result, the homeroom teacher had no choice but to ask Xu Zhaozhao for help.
Xu Zhaozhao would sometimes see Gu Yulin's campus life on Weibo, and she would feel a sense of "my son has grown up".
His relationship status has attracted particular attention.
[My baby has grown so much in the blink of an eye! So handsome!]
[Wait, isn't that Gu Qingyan? How did he become so young? Did he reverse aging? [scratching head]]
[He's so handsome it makes my legs weak! Even though Yu Yu hasn't been on TV for a long time, he's still my most beloved Yu Bao!]
My son is all grown up now, so I'm focusing on raising my daughter, Little Moon, hehehe...
[They really won't accept a single letter? Something's not right... They're not gay! They must have talked to each other!]
...
After reading so many comments, Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but have her doubts.
She knew her son was a total straight man, so could it be... that Yu Yu is really in a relationship?
For this matter, Xu Zhaozhao even took a few days off to observe her son going to and from school.
He's already taller than Xu Zhaozhao; if he grows any taller, he'll be taller than his father.
Gu Yulin was originally staying at the dormitory, and he adapted very well.
But Gu Longyue was very dependent on him. She wouldn't go to class without Gu Yulin by her side, so Gu Yulin became a day student.
At 6:30 in the morning, you can see Gu Yulin, dressed in his school uniform, walking down the stairs with his schoolbag on time.
He was still holding Gu Longyue's hand.
The exercise made his body tall and lean, and the veins on his exposed forearms were bulging, showing the youthful spirit unique to his age.
She is in sixth grade this year, with cute pigtails, and wearing the familiar school uniform of Hope Primary School.
It was that little hand that got scratched in a fight, and now it has a bear-shaped band-aid on it.
Good morning, Mom.
Good morning, Mom.
The brother and sister greeted Xu Zhaozhao, who was waiting for them at the restaurant.
No matter how much trouble the little princess causes outside, she is always a "good girl" in front of Xu Zhaozhao.
After having breakfast with them, I saw them off on the bus to school.
Xu Zhaozhao waited until evening, until they finished class.
The brother and sister have different dismissal times.
Gu Yulin is now a senior in high school, and his get out of class time has been delayed, so the driver always takes Xiaoyueliang home first.
Gu Longyue skipped in, but Xu Zhaozhao stopped her.
“Mommy!” Little Moon looked at her with bright eyes.
She asked mysteriously, "Little Moon, has your brother been behaving strangely lately?"
Little Moon thought about it seriously for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks, "Recently, my brother has been bringing me so little candy."
Oh no!
Could he have used candy meant for his sister to woo a girl?
"My brother built me a new Lazy Sheep block set! I'm going to go up and take it apart!"
Xu Zhaozhao's thoughts drifted off somewhere, and she casually responded.
Little Moon happily went upstairs, leaving only Xu Zhaozhao in the living room, lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yulin's voice returning home finally brought Xu Zhaozhao back to her senses.
"Mom, I'm home."
Xu Zhaozhao nodded, secretly glancing at him.
His collar was neat, his hair was tidy, there were no marks on his hands, and his lips looked normal...
"Mommy, where's Little Moon?"
Gu Yulin took out two strawberry candies from his pocket. "I bought her candy."
He used to buy candy for Little Moon by the large bag, but now...
Xu Zhaozhao wanted to ask, but couldn't think of a suitable question to start the conversation.
Just then, Gu Qingyan also returned home.
Gu Qingyan glanced at Gu Yulin standing in the living room, then looked away and naturally sat down next to Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Zhaozhao immediately grabbed his suit jacket, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something only the two of them could hear.
Not long after they finished whispering, Xu Zhaozhao looked towards where Gu Yulin was.
Gu Qingyan also looked up and glanced at Gu Yulin again, "Yuyu, come here."
Gu Yulin felt that her mother was acting strangely today, very strangely.
He lifted his foot and walked up to the two of them.
Gu Qingyan's voice was very clear in the quiet living room: "Your mother suspects you're in a relationship."
