Chapter 110: I saved your life and looked after you for so long, how are you going to repay me?
"Third Sister, wake up. Come on, take off your clothes. Starting today, we don't need Acupuncture; just a massage will do."
Early in the morning, Gu Yunfan called for Wei Zixia to get up.
Wei Zixia had long since been transferred from the ICU to a special-needs ward in the Rehabilitation Department. The ward was a large private suite with its own kitchen, bathroom, rehabilitation equipment, and an extra bed for Gu Yunfan to rest on.
"Mm..."
Wei Zixia opened her bleary eyes. "Another massage? I've already recovered..."
"You haven't fully recovered yet. If you want to return to your unit sooner, you have to listen to me. Do whatever I tell you to do."
This sentence hit Wei Zixia's weak spot.
Wei Zixia stretched. "Fine~. By the way, is it absolutely necessary to take off my clothes for a massage? Our unit has physical therapists too, and they don't make us undress. At most, we just take off our jackets..."
"If I tell you to take them off, take them off. Why do you talk so much? Can a physical therapist be the same as me?"
"I really give up with you. Close your eyes and turn around..."
Wei Zixia took off her pajamas under the covers, leaving only her bra and panties.
She couldn't tell if Gu Yunfan truly needed it for treatment or if he was taking the opportunity to take advantage of her. Gu Yunfan had been giving her massages for twenty consecutive days, and she had to undress every time. Logically, she should have been used to it by now, but she still felt embarrassed.
"I'm ready..."
Following the usual routine, Wei Zixia flipped over and lay face down.
"So slow~" Gu Yunfan pulled back the quilt. Under the red glow of the sunrise, Wei Zixia's exquisite body radiated a healthy luster. There were originally several scars from old injuries on her shoulders, waist, and thighs, but under Gu Yunfan's Chinese medicine treatments, the scars had miraculously faded significantly.
Gu Yunfan climbed onto the bed and sat astride her waist.
Sigh... why does he have to sit on me every time... is this posture even decent, I ask you... Wei Zixia closed her sharp, eagle-like eyes as a tingling sensation quickly spread from her waist throughout her body.
Gu Yunfan leaned down and began the massage from the Dazhui Acupoint. Located in the depression below the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra at the back of the neck, it can clear the meridians, relieve shoulder and neck stiffness, and help Wei Zixia recover her physical strength as quickly as possible.
Then came the Jianjing, Fengmen, and Feishu Acupoints... Gu Yunfan worked his way down from her back to her waist, and then to her thighs.
Help me... Wei Zixia kept her eyes tightly shut. For the first ten or so days after her injury, her limbs had been numb every day. When Gu Yunfan massaged her, she didn't feel much. However, in the past few days, she had become no different from a normal person. When massaged by Gu Yunfan now, the sensation was incredibly intense... It's itchy... so itchy... Wei Zixia pressed her legs together, her body tensing up.
"Relax. Are you nervous?"
Gu Yunfan parted her thighs, grabbed her calves, and began massaging them.
Wei Zixia gritted her teeth and said insincerely, "What do I have to be nervous about? You said before that you could guarantee my recovery in three weeks. Today is my twentieth day in the hospital. When can I be discharged?"
"We'll observe for one more day. If there are no problems, you can be discharged tomorrow."
"Really?? I can return to my unit tomorrow??"
"Return to what unit? Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month; it's almost New Year's. Tomorrow you're coming back to the Capital with me. You can return to your unit after the New Year. Our Motherand the Sisters video call me every day; they're all worried about you."
"Alright~" Wei Zixia's mood improved greatly. "Ouch... take it easy. Old Eighth, thanks for everything during this time. Working from dawn to dusk, doing Acupuncture, massages, brewing Chinese Herbal Medicine, and making me nutritious meals every day. Honestly... no one has ever taken such meticulous care of me..."
"Oh, so you do have a conscience. I saved your life and looked after you for so long, how do you plan to repay me?"
"I just said thank you~"
"A simple thank you and that's it?? You're just going to freeload??"
"Haha~ then what kind of repayment do you want?"
"You haven't called me 'Daddy' in a long time. Call me 'Daddy' first."
"Get lost!!"
Wei Zixia gave Gu Yunfan a kick.
"Oho, you dare kick me?" Gu Yunfan grabbed the top of Wei Zixia's foot and quickly flicked her Yongquan Acupoint.
"Hey, hey, hey—" A wave of itchiness instantly hit her. Wei Zixia struggled, laughing loudly. "Let go! Are you crazy? Hahaha..."
"That's what you get for being ungrateful. You can ask around; I've never even been this considerate toward Our Mother, or even my own biological parents. And here you are, trying to brush me off with a single 'thank you' while having a bad attitude and even daring to kick me."
"Haha... it tickles, it tickles... then say it... how do you want me to repay you?"
"I don't know! Think of something yourself."
"I..."
Wei Zixia thought to herself: Should I offer myself to him in marriage?
But from what I've observed, this kid is acting all ambiguous with Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister. Ten to one, he's dating them behind Our Mother's back. Since you already have girlfriends, how can I offer myself to you?
At the thought of this, a flicker of disappointment crossed Wei Zixia's eyes.
Spending day and night together, with Gu Yunfan taking such careful care of her and the intimate contact during the massages, she had long since developed feelings for him.
"Not going to say it, huh?"
Gu Yunfan increased the pressure and speed.
"Mercy, mercy! I'll say it, I'll say it! Let go and I'll say it!"
"You say it first, then I'll let go~"
"How can I say it when you're doing this? Hahaha... let go, let go..."
Wei Zixia was tickled until tears came to her eyes. After Gu Yunfan let go, she flipped over and sat up, pulling the quilt to cover her cleavage. She steadied herself, hesitating. "I... well..."
"The dignified captain of a Marine Corps commando team, why are you stuttering? Just say it plainly."
"Um..." Wei Zixia's eyes darted around. Like Amiya and Zhao Siqing, she wasn't the indecisive type by nature, but her love life was a complete blank. She had zero experience and didn't know how to express herself.
"Playing with me, are you? Then I won't be polite."
Just as Gu Yunfan was about to pull back the quilt.
Wei Zixia excitedly pulled her legs back. "The beach! Take me for a stroll on the beach, and I'll tell you!"
"The beach? What for?"
"I've been lying here for twenty days; I'm bored to death in this hospital. Can't I go out for some fresh air?"
"And if we go to the beach, you'll tell me how you're going to repay me?"
"Yes~"
Wei Zixia was buying herself some time.
"Fine~ I'll trust you this once~"
Gu Yunfan received the ambiguous signal sent by Third Sister.
He could probably guess what Wei Zixia was thinking.
A confession, right?
Sigh!
Look at my damn charm... there's always some subject trying to harm this emperor!
Aren't you all just pushing me into a pit of fire?
While Gu Yunfan was making breakfast, Godmothervideo called him to ask about the recovery. Upon hearing that he was bringing Third Sister back to the Capitaltomorrow, she was so happy she blew several kisses at the camera.
To ensure everything was perfect, Gu Yunfan took Wei Zixia for a full check-up in the morning, including blood tests, CT scans, and an MRI.
Wei Zixia secretly sent a message to the instructor of the Ghost Commando Squadron, asking her to bring her Navy service uniform and cosmetics to the hospital.
For an important moment in life, she naturally wanted to show her most beautiful side.
In the afternoon, Wei Zixia told Gu Yunfan to wait for her downstairs. She applied exquisite makeup in the ward, changed into her military uniform, put on her cap, threw on a military overcoat, and headed downstairs looking valiant and heroic. She also requisitioned the instructor's military vehicle.
Chapter 111: I'll Give Myself to You! Is That Enough to Repay You for Saving My Life?
"Oh, you even put on makeup and wore your military uniform. Why so formal?"
Gu Yunfan's eyes lit up when he saw Wei Zixia. She looked radiant and walked with a steady, rhythmic pace; judging by her spirit, she seemed no different from before her injury.
"Why ask so many questions? Get in the car."
Wei Zixia unlocked the SUV, pulled open the driver's side door, and motioned for Gu Yunfan to get into the passenger seat.
The car headed south, passing through the Jiaozhou Bay Undersea Tunnel toward Golden Sand Beach. With its fine golden sand and unique coastal scenery, Island City's Golden Sand Beach was known as Asia's number one beach.
Gu Yunfan had been there many times since he was a child; he had even brought his Godmother, Murong Yan, and Jiang Ruoxi just twenty days ago. However, it was Wei Zixia's first time.
Upon reaching Golden Sand Beach, Wei Zixia noticed many tourists by the shore. Not wanting to be disturbed, she kept driving until she reached a deserted area before stopping.
Gu Yunfan curled his lips into a smile. "Someone just wanted to come out and see the ocean while discussing how to repay me. Why act so suspiciously?"
"Who's acting suspiciously? Get out of the car!"
Wei Zixia pushed open the car door. The sea breeze brushed against her face, lifting the strands of hair at her temples from beneath her military cap. The wind carried a faint scent of the sea. She took a deep breath—how refreshing~~
"Still that familiar feeling, still that familiar scent~"
Wei Zixia raised her arms, her eyes radiating the warmth of a winter sun. She couldn't help but shout, "Ocean—it's been a long time~~"
"Alright, alright, stop hollering. You haven't fully recovered yet; you shouldn't be breathing in the cold wind." Gu Yunfan walked over with his arms crossed. "Can you tell me now? How do you plan to repay me?"
"What's the rush?"
Wei Zixia stepped onto the sand. "Walk with me~"
The two walked side by side, their footsteps uneven as they headed toward the water's edge.
Wei Zixia wrapped her Military Overcoat tightly around her and looked out at the sea, unable to resist singing loudly: "Army within the army~ Steel within steel~ We are the hot-blooded sons of the motherland~ The sharp blade is drawn from its sheath~ The shells are loaded into the breech~ Just waiting for the charge bugle to sound..."
I told you not to breathe in the wind, yet you're singing?
Forget it... It seems you've been cooped up for too long. I'll let you enjoy yourself.
Honestly, she sings quite well.
After she finished singing, Gu Yunfan asked as they walked, "What? Missing the army?"
"Not just the army... but also my mom and dad..." Wei Zixia said, looking lost. "My parents both dedicated their lives to the motherland's seas..."
No wonder she wanted to see the ocean; she was missing her parents.
Gu Yunfan looked out at the endless blue ocean, almost seeing a cruise ship drifting in the distance. On the deck, his parents seemed to be standing, waving to him from afar... "Hey? I still don't know how your parents passed away. Is it convenient to talk about?" Wei Zixia asked curiously.
"Like your parents, they also left their lives in the sea, except their death was an accident during a trip." Gu Yunfan pointed toward Jeju Island. "There, in that sea area."
"Ah? I'm sorry, I didn't know about your parents. But coincidentally, my parents also sacrificed themselves in that same area."
"Then we really do share a special connection."
"Two of a kind~"
Wei Zixia crouched by the shore, reaching out to touch the long-missed seawater. Although the water was cold, her heart was warm. Being free of illness and disaster felt great.
"Why won't you listen? One moment you're breathing in cold wind, the next you're touching cold water. Do you not want to recover?"
"Oh my~ why are you acting like my dad? So nagging~"
"Oh? No wonder you kept calling me 'Dad' while you were unconscious. So I'm like your father~"
"Get lost!! What are you talking about??"
Wei Zixia stood up abruptly and gave him a shove. "Being a jerk again, are we?? Gu Yunfan! You took advantage of me back then! I haven't settled that score with you yet!!"
"You were the one who called me 'Dad' at the time; I didn't ask you to. Our Mother and Second Sister can both testify to that."
"That's not what I'm talking about! What did you do when you were resuscitating me? You know perfectly well!"
"What did I do? Just Acupuncture, Moxibustion, massage, and Qigong, right?"
"Playing dumb, are we?"
Wei Zixia grabbed Gu Yunfan's sweater. "Do you want me to help you remember?!"
"Sure~ I have a bad memory~ Why don't you describe in detail how I took advantage of you?"
"You!"
Wei Zixia's gaze fell on Gu Yunfan's lips, and her ears suddenly felt hot. "So young and yet so naughty, actually using the excuse of saving someone to... ki... kiss me..."
"Don't go accusing people falsely. That wasn't a kiss; that was Mouth-to-Mouth Energy Transmission. You were weak at the time, and I needed to inject True Qi into your body."
"Injecting True Qi? You've watched too many martial arts movies! Be honest! Did you take advantage of me on purpose?"
"Heaven be my witness! I saved you out of the goodness of my heart. How can you wrong me like this? Besides, if anyone took advantage, it was you. I'm an eighteen-year-old innocent lad, and I was kissed by you, a twenty-seven-year-old 'leftover woman.' You should be secretly celebrating~"
"Go to hell!!"
Wei Zixia punched his chest muscle. "Who are you calling a leftover woman??"
"Aren't you?" Gu Yunfan puffed out his chest. "You still want to fight? Save it. You're no match for me. During the Special Operations Team competition, I just didn't want you to lose face in front of your team members, so I fought you to a draw. If it were anyone else, they'd be on the ground in three seconds flat."
"Well, thank you very much! I haven't exercised my limbs in twenty days, and my hands happen to be itching. Come on! Let's see if your mouth is tougher or my fists are!"
"Forget it~ You haven't fully recovered. Beating you would be an unfair victory~"
"Cut the crap!!"
Wei Zixia used her old trick again, kicking sand first to distract her opponent, then throwing a punch—
However, in the next second, she lost her balance. Before she could react, she was pinned to the sand by Gu Yunfan. But she didn't feel the slightest impact from the fall; clearly, Gu Yunfan had gone easy on her to prevent her from getting hurt.
This kid really is amazing... he can even take me down in a second... "Do you yield?" Gu Yunfan raised his eyebrows smugly.
Wei Zixia's cap fell off, revealing her neat short hair. She struggled for a moment but couldn't budge, so she simply surrendered. "Fine, fine, fine, you're amazing, alright? Get up, get up. It's so unseemly for you to be pinning me down like this."
"I can get up, but first, tell me how you're going to repay me?"
"Um..."
"Hesitating again? As a Major in the Special Operations Team who's supposed to be as good as any man, can't you act a bit more like a soldier?"
"Fine! I'll say it!"
Wei Zixia looked directly at Gu Yunfan, who was inches away. "I'll give myself to you! Is that enough to repay you for saving my life?"
"What? What??"
"Shut up..."
Wei Zixia tilted her head up and kissed him directly... Whoa!
Direct enough... now that's a soldier's style~
Gu Yunfan didn't resist. He leaned down over her and responded cooperatively.
Ha~~~
This kid isn't even pretending anymore~
It seems he likes me too~
Wait... I forgot to ask about him and Sixth and Seventh Sister... Never mind... we've already kissed... I'll ask later... My god—
Is this kid really this good??
The two of them rolled around on the beach, locked in an embrace.
The last time they rolled around at the Special Operations Team's sea training ground was for a competition... but this time... well... it was still for "exchanging martial arts skills"...
Chapter 112: You Have to Take Responsibility for Me! Break Up with Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister!
[interaction value +235]
After a long while—
The back seat of the off-road vehicle.
Wei Zixia lay in Gu Yunfan's arms, her tired eagle-like eyes slightly narrowed as she took a nap, watching the red sunset glow outside the car window.
A god... a god among men... truly lethal... this guy is even more terrifying than a great white shark in the ocean... "Third Sister, you were impulsive~"
Gu Yunfan looked down at Wei Zixia's handsome face, "Do you know what you did to me? Godmother strictly forbade it; you seven sisters are not allowed to harm me. How dare you defy her orders?"
"Heh... you didn't refuse either... I saw you being quite proactive, kid..."
"Who was proactive? Don't slander me. I kissed you for Mouth-to-Mouth Energy Transmission, to help you recover as quickly as possible."
"Thank you... you're such a good person... kissing is transmitting energy... then why did you carry me to the car and take off my clothes..."
"For Chinese Therapeutic Massage~"
"What a glib talker... what do you mean... you're going to eat your fill and then walk away without taking responsibility?"
"Then what do you mean? Do you want to date me?"
"Nonsense... I've given myself to you... what do you think?"
"I thought you just wanted to repay me once~"
"Pah... the debt of saving a life is greater than the heavens... how could once be enough? From now on, this sister belongs to you, kid~"
"Sigh! You've ruined me~"
"What do you mean?"
"If Our Mother finds out, she'll be heartbroken."
"Just don't let her know... oh right... I haven't asked you yet... are you dating Sixth Sister?"
Gu Yunfan didn't beat around the bush. He had heard from Murong Yan that on the first day she went to the Special Operations Team to see Wei Zixia, Wei Zixia had already seen through their secret affair. So, Gu Yunfanadmitted it generously: "Yeah~"
"You're really dating Sixth Sister?? You two have some nerve!!"
Although Wei Zixia had suspected it for a long time, she was still shocked when she heard Gu Yunfan admit it.
As the Special Operations Team Captain, in terms of combat and firearms, she was stronger than Fourth Sister, the Criminal Police Captain; if it came to detail observation, she was slightly inferior to Amiya.
What surprised her even more was that Gu Yunfanactually admitted it so openly, without even trying to hide it.
This kid is still holding me! How arrogant!
"On the day of the Recognition Ceremony with Godmother, Sixth Sister fell in love with me at first sight. Since then, she pursued me relentlessly, using both threats and inducements. I'm young and timid, so I accidentally got caught up by her..."
"Stop! Quit acting innocent! You're timid? After sleeping with Sixth Sister, you slept with me. You call that timid?"
"It was you guys who slept with me..."
"Shut up! I'm not finished yet. Do you also have a secret affair with Seventh Sister?"
"Hee hee..." Gu Yunfan rubbed his neck shyly.
Wei Zixia's eagle eyes turned sharp, and she punched him in the chest: "What are you 'hee-heeing' for! In other words! You're two-timing, dating Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister at the same time??"
"The truth is, I was with Xi Xi first, and then Sixth Sistersnatched me away."
"So you accepted both of them?? Do they know??"
"They know~"
"Holy crap! They didn't fight?? When they were here before, I saw they had a pretty good relationship!"
"At first, there was some trouble for a while; neither would back down. Later, they felt that continuing to fight would hurt their sisterly bond, so they made peace, reached a consensus, and have lived in harmony ever since~"
"My god—"
Wei Zixia had an expression of total disbelief, "Are those two crazy... what were they thinking..."
"Maybe it's because my charm is too great, and neither of them is willing to break up with me~"
"Hmph! Hmph hmph hmph!"
Wei Zixia pointed at Gu Yunfan, "Look into my eyes and say that again. Do they really know you're two-timing? You're not making things up to brainwash me, are you? I'm telling you, I can't accept this!"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, call them right now and ask~"
"You think I won't?"
Wei Zixia took out her phone and found Murong Yan's number. Seeing Gu Yunfan's calm expression, not looking like he was lying, she put the phone away again. "You're truly shameless! You're only 18! You don't look like a scumbag!"
"I'm not a scumbag to begin with; it's you guys who are scummy to me. Take you for example, did I play you? Which of us was the proactive one?"
"You..."
Wei Zixia was speechless. Although Gu Yunfan hadn't refused, she was indeed the proactive one, and she did it knowing that Gu Yunfan might have affairs with Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister.
Ultimately.
She was the interloper.
My god... what's wrong with me?
Am I possessed?
I clearly know this is wrong... but I just can't control myself... "That's the situation. Now, do you still want to date me?" Gu Yunfan glanced and saw the red rose on Wei Zixia's coat.
Wei Zixia followed his gaze, pulled the hem of her coat to cover the red rose, and kicked him: "What are you looking at? I don't care! You have to take responsibility for me! Break up with Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister!"
"I don't dare bring it up. If you want to say it, you go say it. Xi Xi is withdrawn and sensitive; when Sixth Sister told her to break up back then, she almost jumped into Shichahai. Sixth Sister does things without regard for consequences; when Xi Xi told her to break up, Sixth Sister almost went to Our Mother to expose us. Do you want Xi Xi to jump into a lake, or do you want Sixth Sisterto expose us?"
"I..."
Wei Zixia was stumped. Gu Yunfan had a silver tongue; she couldn't out-argue him.
"Hmph hmph, I think I understand now. You want everything, don't you? So you're planning on three-timing?"
Three-timing?
No... more than that... it would shock you to hear it... Gu Yunfan corrected her: "It should be that you three boats want to possess this sail of mine at the same time~"
"Heh, you're truly shameless, kid..."
Wei Zixia rubbed her temples, her head aching with anger: "Let me think about this. We're going back to the capital tomorrow. If I get the chance, I'll talk to those two."
The sun set, half-submerged in the sea, dyeing the horizon a deep crimson.
"It's getting late, let's head back to the hospital." With a thought, Gu Yunfan extracted half a bottle of ten-complete great tonic pills from the system space, poured out ten, and fed them to Wei Zixia.
"*Cough cough*... what did you feed me?"
"Sheep droppings."
"I'll kick you to death!"
Wei Zixia lay in the back seat and let Gu Yunfan drive.
Vroom—
Gu Yunfan stepped on the gas and turned around, uncontrollably starting to hum while looking at the golden sunset.
"The sunset on the sea is like a painting from youth~ Spread across the sky, waiting for seagulls to carry it away~"
"The distant sail is buffeted by wind and waves~ For a dream, no matter how much it hurts, one won't be afraid~"
...Wow~
This kid's singing is really beautiful... he can sing... play instruments... has superb culinary skills and profound martial arts... as well as miraculous medical skills... no wonder both younger sisters like him... wanting them to break up with Gu Yunfan... it would probably be harder than reaching the heavens... wait... are only those two sisters in love with him? What about the others... thinking of this, Wei Zixia interrupted: "Gu Yunfan... besides Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister... are you involved with any other sisters?"
"I hope the wishes I've made will bloom all the way~ Escorting the dreams of that time to withstand the wind and sand..."
Gu Yunfan raised his voice, pretending not to hear.
He summoned the system; his points balance had just exceeded 10,000.
Before coming to Island City, he had 5,000 points. Over the past twenty-odd days, he had accumulated over 5,000. Because Gu Yunfan was busy treating Third Sister's injuries every day and had no time for deep interactions with the other sisters, the speed was slower than usual. Most of the points were contributed by Third Sister, mainly from Chinese Therapeutic Massage.
Chapter 113: Unlocking the Second Ten Thousand-Point Treasure Chest, Bringing the Third Princess Home for New Year's
Before going to bed at night.
When Gu Yunfan went to take a shower, he locked onto the ten thousand-point grand prize and unlocked it!
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Super artificial intelligence robot Research and Development Skill"!]
[Skill is being transmitted...]
Holy crap!!
artificial intelligence robot??
In an instant—
Knowledge about the core AI algorithms, deep learning, model deployment, knowledge graph and reasoning, control system development, mechanical body development, simulated skin development, and perception system development for this skill rushed into Gu Yunfan's mind like a surging river.
The system showed that this technology is not limited to humanoid robots; it can also mimic the forms of animals and plants other than humans, such as cats and dogs on land, fish underwater, and birds in the sky.
The key is that it can achieve extremely high realism and flexibility, completely capable of passing for the real thing.
Dragon Country's development speed in the field of artificial intelligence robots is very fast.
Last Spring Festival, humanoid robots developed by Hangzhou Dashu Technology appeared on the CCTVSpring Festival Gala stage, performing Yangko Dances and Handkerchief Twirling. At that time, their flexibility was not high and they were relatively mechanical, but by the second half of the year, they had evolved to be able to do somersaults and dance.
However, they still couldn't achieve the appearance, agility, and intelligence of real people.
Artificial intelligence is one of the three major industries under the Jiang Group. The Group also has robotbusiness, but it mainly focuses on industrial robots, with humanoid robots being a weakness.
The aviation engine project is underway. If advanced humanoid robots are also developed, the strength of the Jiang Group will undoubtedly rapidly and greatly increase.
Many people don't understand the use of humanoid robots.
To give the simplest example, take Wei Zixia.
If robots can be as good as real people, then soldiers won't need to go deep into the front lines to charge into battle; they can simply be controlled from the backend. This would avoid casualties and increase combat effectiveness.
In addition to humanoid robots, robotic birds and robotic snakes can also be developed to go deep behind enemy lines for reconnaissance or attack.
Besides this, they can also be widely used in high-risk jobs such as power inspection, fire rescue, and earthquake search and rescue.
For individual users, cooking, cleaning, laundry, chatting, sleeping, and even giving birth might all be possible in the future.
Of course, the evolution of robots will replace some people's jobs, and many are worried about this.
Gu Yunfan personally feels that there's no need to worry. robots are essentially tools, serving humanity. Just like the birth of the internet replaced many traditional businesses but also created new business models, in the next few decades, robots will form deep synergy with humans. Humans will still dominate core aspects like creativity, emotion, and decision-making, while robots will be responsible for execution.
"Hubby~, are you done showering? Why are you so slow tonight? Don't dawdle, can you hurry up?"
Wei Zixia lay on the bed, calling out. After the battle in the afternoon, she had lost half her life, but now her vitality had recovered, and she was eager to spar again.
"What's the rush? Can you be a little more reserved?"
The fine, rain-like hot water poured over Gu Yunfan's head, leaving him dazed. The complexity of the Super artificial intelligence robot Research and Development Skill was even greater than that of the aviation engine, taking over twenty minutes to transmit completely.
After a while, Gu Yunfan came out wrapped in a bathrobe: "Third Sister, you haven't fully recovered yet, take care of your body."
"Get lost, I just wanted you to give me a Chinese Therapeutic Massage. Don't overthink it~" Wei Zixiapursed her lips, suppressing a laugh: "Also, don't call me Third Sister anymore, call me wife~"
"Chinese Therapeutic Massage? Okay, little brother will satisfy you~"
Gu Yunfan slipped into Wei Zixia's bed, giving her a full body Chinese Therapeutic Massage from top to bottom... The next day, in Jing City.
Jiang Family Courtyard House.
Jiang Yujun got up early, busily arranging a recovery banquet to welcome her third daughter, who was discharged and returning to Jing City, and of course, her Godson whom she thought about day and night.
She had stayed in Island City for half a month, but even ten days without seeing Gu Yunfan felt like ten months. She couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep soundly, and felt restless no matter what.
"Raise the left lantern a bit higher, align it with the right one."
"Don't step on the red carpet, take a detour first."
"The flower baskets were delivered this morning, right? Are they all fresh?"
Jiang Yujun, dressed in a wine-red wool coat, stood in the Courtyard House directing the servants to decorate.
Murong Yan in the West Wing Room was woken up by the noise. Drowsily, she leaned against the window and complained: "I say, Great Beauty Jiang... so early in the morning... are you going to let people sleep or not... it's just Third Sister and Old Eight coming home... is it really necessary to be so grand... I didn't get this treatment when I came back from Hengdian... Besides, do you really need to do these small tasks yourself? So biased~"
"You Jealous Little Thing, your Third Sister survived a great ordeal, of course we have to celebrate properly. Get up early and get ready. Your maternal grandfather, Aunt, Older Female Cousins, and other relatives will come to visit your Third Sister at noon. Don't still be in bed when the guests arrive, that would be impolite."
"Alright, alright... I'm getting up, I'm getting up~"
Thinking of finally seeing her long-awaited boyfriend, Murong Yan excitedly sat up with a carp-like flip.
During this time, while Gu Yunfan was away, she focused on shooting several endorsements and attending several business events, finishing her work before the New Year so she could spend the holiday peacefully with Gu Yunfan.
Fifth Princess Zhao Siqing in the next room was already up, sitting at her dressing table applying makeup. She also missed Gu Yunfan very much. Today was the Twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow was New Year's Eve. The TV station was very busy, but she insisted on taking half a day off to see Gu Yunfan.
Fourth Princess Amiya was busy solving a case and didn't come back last night; she would rush home later.
Eldest Princess Shen Yinuo and Second Princess An Lingran were preparing dishes in the kitchen. They were the main chefs today. An Lingran was usually busy and rarely cooked, so to learn from them, she had to show the greatest sincerity.
"Mom, Gu Yunfan said that he and Third Sister are at the airport now and are expected to arrive home around 11 o'clock." Jiang Ruoxi had just called Gu Yunfan.
"Good!" Jiang Yujun seemed particularly excited.
They were busy until past ten o'clock.
The Mayor of Jing City arrived first with his children.
"Darling, have Zi Xia and your baby son arrived home yet?"
The Mayor of Jing City carried gifts, and the children politely greeted Jiang Yujun and their Older Female Cousins.
"Soon~" Jiang Yujun raised her wrist to check her watch, "They'll be home in about an hour."
"Come here, I want to talk to you."
The Mayor of Jing City called Jiang Yujun aside and whispered, "How are you and Yunfan?"
"How are what?"
"Did you two...?"
"Shut up! You're being improper again. Every time you see me, do you have no other topics?"
"Haha~, Sis, I'm just concerned about you. Are you really going to live like this forever?"
"Otherwise? Is there a problem?"
"Let me give you a heads-up... I heard from my dad... Zi Xia's maternal grandfather intends to bring Zi Xia and Yunfan together... Today at noon... Zi Xia's maternal grandfather will also be there, right... He might bring this up with you..."
"No!"
Jiang Yujun flatly refused.
"See, you're getting anxious, aren't you?" Her Older Female Cousin shook her head and clicked her tongue: "I'll see how long you can hold out~"
Chapter 114: The CEO Godmother Hosts a Recovery Banquet, Jiang Family Members Gather for Celebration
"Dear beautiful Mom and Sisters~, we're back~"
Shortly after 11 o'clock, a convoy of welcoming vehicles stopped in front of the main gate of the Jiang Familyestate. Wei Zixia and Gu Yunfan got out together.
"Aiya~, we've been waiting for you day and night, finally you're back. Zi Xia looks quite recovered~"
Holding flowers in her left hand and a peach wood branch in her right, Jiang Yujun led her daughters and relatives forward to greet them. A red carpet was laid at the entrance, flanked by vibrant flower baskets on both sides.
"Welcome, welcome~, a warm welcome~" Murong Yancheered sweetly, clapping her hands.
The Eldest Princess, Second Princess, Fifth Princess, and Seventh Princess joined in, clapping and chanting in unison: "Welcome, welcome~, a warm welcome~"
"Welcome home, my two babies~"
Jiang Yujun raised the peach wood branch and swept it in front of Wei Zixia, declaring loudly: "Peach wood sweeps, bad luck flees; peach wood waves, fortune returns. May everything go smoothly, peacefully, and be auspicious from now on~"
Wei Zixia cooperatively turned a full circle, then hugged Jiang Yujun. "Mom, I missed you so much~"
"Mom missed you too, everyone missed you. Come, let Mom take a good look at how you've recovered."
Jiang Yujun presented the flowers and held her daughter's hands, looking her up and down. "Very good, very good. Your spirit seems even better than before the mission. The scar by your eyebrow looks fainter, and your skin seems fairer than before."
"Haha~, lying in the hospital for twenty days made me pale. As for the scar and my spirit, that's all thanks to Old Eighth's Acupuncture, Chinese Therapeutic Massage, and Chinese Herbal Medicine regimen. I feel like I'm in better shape than before too."
Wei Zixia looked her mother over. "Mom, you've lost weight. I'm sorry, your daughter made you worry."
"Our Mom wasn't just worried about you, she was also pining for her Godson~" Zhao Siqing teased. "With Old Eighth not by her side, she was like a lost soul, having no appetite for food or tea. No wonder she lost weight!"
Murong Yan chimed in: "Exactly! She barely smiled every day, only today she's in better spirits. She was up early this morning fussing over the arrangements. The difference between people truly is vast~"
Jiang Yujun turned and glared at the two of them: "Shoo, shoo, you two talk too much."
Hearing this, the Mayor of Jing City secretly smiled. *Jiang Yujun, ah, Jiang Yujun, stop deceiving yourself, alright? Your daughters don't know your past, but I do.*
"Godmother, I'm back~"
Gu Yunfan spread his arms and hugged Jiang Yujun. "You really have lost weight. During the Spring Festival, I'll cook for you every day to help you regain your strength~"
"Ha~, wonderful, such a good baby~"
Held tightly in her Godson's embrace, Jiang Yujun's restless heart instantly settled, filled with a sense of security. Gu Yunfan had become her pillar of support.
"Aunt, long time no see." Gu Yunfan greeted his Auntwhile still hugging his Godmother.
The Mayor of Jing City smiled warmly: "Yunfan, you're quite the extraordinary fellow. You actually know medicine, and such advanced medicine at that, miraculously saving your Third Sister. Just hearing about it is unbelievable."
"Ah, just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, pure luck."
Hearing this, Wei Zixia slapped him: "Who are you calling a dead mouse?"
Haha... Everyone burst into laughter.
Wei Zixia greeted her Aunt and relatives, then hugged her Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, and Seventh Sister in turn.
Gu Yunfan followed suit and also started hugging: "Eldest Sister, did you miss me?"
"Ha~, you rascal, I missed you, missed you, of course I missed you! Seeing you bring Third Sister back safely fills my heart with joy. Without experiencing danger, one can't appreciate what happiness truly is. The greatest happiness is the family being safe and healthy."
"Exactly. How's the progress on the aviation engineexperiment?"
"It's going well. With your remote guidance, it's advancing smoothly."
"Good. After the Spring Festival, I'll visit the lab and the partner companies."
Gu Yunfan then hugged the Second Princess: "Doctor An, you shielded a non-medical practitioner from practicing medicine. Didn't get penalized, did you?"
"If there's any penalty, you'd be first in line~" An Lingranstiffened slightly. Upon reflection, it seemed this was the first time Gu Yunfan had hugged her, causing her heart to race a little. "When will you teach me medicine?"
"You haven't even formally become my apprentice yet. Show some sincerity, alright?"
"Fine, fine, fine. Just you wait~"
An Lingran's tone when speaking to Gu Yunfan was becoming increasingly gentle.
Gu Yunfan continued hugging the Fifth Princess: "Where's Fourth Sister? Off solving another case? Will she be back for lunch?"
"Hmph... You rascal, hugging me but asking about Fourth Sister... Looking for a beating, are you?" Zhao Siqinglowered her announcer-like voice.
"Big vinegar jar..." Gu Yunfan teased softly. "Been holding back, haven't you?"
"Get lost... Shameless..." Zhao Siqing whispered a reminder: "Tonight, the garage..."
"What are you two muttering about? My turn to hug~"
Murong Yan leaned in, actively hugging Gu Yunfan. Her pink lips parted, and she cooed in a sweet, breathy voice: "Hubby, I missed you so much... Hubby, kiss me quick..."
"Kiss my foot... Don't act up~"
"Kiss Xi Xi? You want to kiss Xi Xi? You scum~"
"Idiot..."
"Haha... See you in the garage tonight..."
*Another garage rendezvous...* Gu Yunfan finally hugged Jiang Ruoxi: "Wife, did you miss me?"
"Hehe..." Jiang Ruoxi's smile was as pure as white snow. Taking advantage of her mom, Sisters, and Third Sister chatting and catching up, she squeezed a single word through her teeth: "Yes..."
"Then give me a kiss~"
"Huh??"
Jiang Ruoxi was so startled she immediately let go of him.
*So easy to tease~*
Gu Yunfan harvested a wave of interaction value, then followed his Godmother and family onto the red carpet into the courtyard. The booming sounds of drums and gongs started up—*dong dong dong, kuang kuang kuang*—a drum and gong troupe had been arranged on both sides of the red carpet in the front yard, creating a full sense of ceremony.
Several more groups of relatives arrived one after another. Among them was Jiang Yujun's younger Aunt, who served as the Director of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Others covered fields like culture, arts, and finance.
The Fourth Princess, Amiya, also returned. The moment she arrived home, she could tell something was up between Gu Yunfan and Wei Zixia.
*Heavens... Five of them... This guy is heading down a path of no return towards his own doom... Old problems unresolved, new ones arising.* Amiya felt a massive headache. The situation was becoming increasingly complicated.
With so many people around, a proper talk was impossible. She would need to have a good chat with Gu Yunfan later.
Approaching noon, Jiang Yujun's uncle and her maternal uncle arrived together. The former served as the Director of the Dragon Country's Department of National Defense, the latter as the Commander of the Northern War Zone. Both held the rank of General, but the Defense Director held a higher administrative level.
"Grandpa! I missed you so much!"
Wei Zixia excitedly hugged the War Zone Commander. Although they belonged to the same war zone system, they hadn't seen each other for two years.
The War Zone Commander showed a loving yet guilty smile: "Child, Grandpa missed you too. It's Grandpa's fault for not taking good care of you, letting you suffer hardship."
"No, no, no. As a descendant of soldiers, from the day I enlisted, I was prepared to sacrifice myself for the country. Grandpa and my parents are my role models!"
"Well said! A tiger father doesn't beget a dog daughter. I'm very comforted that you think this way."
The War Zone Commander's gaze shifted to Gu Yunfan. "This must be Yunfan, the one who pulled my granddaughter back from the jaws of death?"
"That's right~" Jiang Yujun nodded with a smile and introduced him to Gu Yunfan: "Yunfan, this is your Third Sister's Maternal Grandfather. You've spoken on the phone."
"Hello, Sir! A warm welcome to you, Sir!" Gu Yunfansnapped a crisp salute.
"Haha~" The War Zone Commander chuckled and shook his hand. "This child is truly humorous. Don't be formal, just call me Grandpa like Zi Xia does. Good child, you are our family's lifesaver. Grandpa has a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, the Secretary handed a long, antique wooden box to the Commander.
Chapter 115: War Zone Commander Gifts an Heirloom, The Whole Audience Is Dumbfounded
"Child, inside the box is the Wei Family's heirloom. After Zi Xia's father passed away, I have been keeping it in my care."
The War Zone Commander presented the wooden box. "Today, I hand over the Wei Family's heirloom to you. First, to thank you for saving Zi Xia's life; and second, today Grandpa is entrusting Zi Xia to you, hoping you will take good care of her in the future."
???
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yujun's expression froze, and the hearts of the Eldest Princess, Second Princess, Fourth Princess, Fifth Princess, Sixth Princess, and Seventh Princess all skipped a beat at the same time.
An heirloom??
Entrusting the third sister to Gu Yunfan??
What does that mean??
The sisters looked at each other in dismay.
The Mayor of Jing City looked at the dazed Jiang Yujunand chuckled inwardly. See, I told you so—Zi Xia's grandfather has taken a liking to Gu Yunfan and wants to set them up. He even brought out the heirloom; isn't it obvious?
The Third Princess, Wei Zixia, was also stunned for a moment, then immediately understood her grandfather's intention. He wants me to marry Gu Yunfan? Haha, what a divine assist!
But... Mom probably won't agree... Besides, I have two rivals... "The Wei Family heirloom? No, no, I can't. This is too precious."
Gu Yunfan waved his hand, but his eyes didn't leave the wooden box. He wondered to himself, why is the box so long? What on earth is inside?
"Rejecting the gift is rejecting Grandpa's gratitude and his entrustment. Do you not want to help Grandpa take care of Zi Xia?" The War Zone Commander raised his hands.
"No, no." Gu Yunfan couldn't refuse the elder's face in public, so he took the wooden box and asked curiously: "Grandpa, what's inside? Can I take a look?"
"Of course."
With Grandpa's permission, Gu Yunfan opened it carefully, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Murong Yan exclaimed: "Wow! What an exquisite sword!"
Shen Yinuo corrected her: "Although it has a scabbard, that's not a sword. It's a Western Han Ring-pommel saber. It's single-edged and was mainly used for cavalry combat."
"Exactly." The War Zone Commander nodded and explained: "Zi Xia's ancestor was the Great Marshal and General of the Western Han, General Wei Qing. This saber belonged to General General Wei Qing."
Wow—
The whole audience broke into a chorus of gasps.
Amiya said in surprise: "What?? Third Sister's ancestor is General Wei Qing??"
Zhao Siqing asked in shock: "Is it the General Wei Qing I know? The younger brother of Emperor Wu of Han's Empress, Wei Zifu? The uncle of Huo Qubing??"
The War Zone Commander looked at Jiang Yujun in confusion. "Jun Jun, haven't you told the children about Zi Xia's family background?"
Jiang Yujun replied: "I was afraid of rubbing salt in Zi Xia's wound, so I never mentioned these things in front of the children."
"I see. Women truly are more considerate."
The War Zone Commander spoke plainly in public: "Jun Jun, everyone here is family, so I'll be blunt. Yunfan saved Zi Xia's life, and we have no way to repay him. Zi Xia isn't young anymore; it's time for her to get married. Yunfan is a good kid, skilled in both the pen and the sword, and even knows medicine. He's a genius among geniuses. I really admire him. I want Zi Xia to marry him, what do you think..."
"No way!!!"
Murong Yan suddenly shouted, giving Jiang Ruoxi next to her a start.
Jiang Ruoxi, Zhao Siqing, and Amiya naturally didn't agree either, but they didn't speak up. Speaking up now would be equivalent to exposing their private feelings.
Murong Yan was different. Her family knew she liked Gu Yunfan, so her opposition was perfectly reasonable.
The sisters were deeply grateful to Murong Yan for being the first to speak out and supported her mentally.
"Why not?" The War Zone Commander looked at Murong Yan in confusion.
Murong Yan said pridefully: "Great-Uncle, I don't mean any disrespect, but... but Third Sister really can't marry Gu Yunfan because... because Mom strictly forbids the seven of us from dating him!"
Murong Yan used her mom as a shield and continued: "Also! You haven't even asked if Gu Yunfan and Third Sister are willing!"
"Oh, Grandpa..." Wei Zixia leaned in and whispered in his ear: "You're being too direct... My Sixth Sister likes Gu Yunfan... but Mom doesn't agree... She even had a fight with Mom about it back then... Not just the Sixth Sister... the Seventh Sister also has feelings for Gu Yunfan... Please don't talk about this for now... it's so embarrassing..."
"Haha~" The War Zone Commander chuckled. "My fault, my fault. I haven't been in touch much lately and didn't realize the situation."
The Mayor of Jing City couldn't help but smile, a grin hidden at the corner of his mouth.
The sudden interlude gave Jiang Yujun a sense of crisis. She forced a smile and said: "Uncle, you've come from so far and even brought such a precious gift. You're far too kind."
"It's only right. The debt of saving a life is greater than the heavens."
The War Zone Commander patted Gu Yunfan's shoulder. "Good lad, keep it up!"
Gu Yunfan thanked Grandpa and finally greeted the Director of the National Defense Administration.
The Director of the National Defense Administrationshowed an appreciative smile: "The last time I saw Yunfan was at the Recognition Ceremony for Yunfan and Jun Jun. I was busy with official business then and only stayed for a brief moment. Later I heard that Yunfan sang two songs at the banquet, more professional than the national team."
"Time flew by, and several months have passed. During this time, I've heard news about Yunfan every now and then, like helping Amiya solve major cases and possessing real martial arts skills."
"For example, designing an advanced aviation engine, and recently using superb Chinese medicine skills to help Zi Xia regain her life. It's truly incredible when you think about it."
The Director of the National Defense Administrationsighed with a smile: "Yunfan is the great lucky star of our Jiang Family~"
The family members nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yujun invited her uncles, aunts, and other relatives to sit down for tea.
The relatives first asked about Wei Zixia's recovery. Learning she was fine, they felt relieved, and then they all focused the conversation on Gu Yunfan.
Gu Yunfan felt awkward listening and went to the kitchen to help the Eldest Sister and Second Sister cook.
The Eldest Sister teased: "Eighth Brother is not only popular with young girls but also loved by the older generation. Even your Third Sister's grandfather has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you as a grandson-in-law in public. Let's interview you, how do you feel? Isn't it great?"
"Go away, why are you teasing me too, Eldest Sister? I was so embarrassed just now I almost dug a hole in the floor. You know me, I'm thin-skinned."
"Haha..."
Shen Yinuo hadn't noticed any relationship between Gu Yunfan and Wei Zixia for the time being.
An Lingran didn't notice either. She had a smile on her face, but her heart was filled with hidden unease.
Delicious dishes came out of the kitchen one after another, and six large tables were set in the massive dining room.
Before the feast began, Jiang Yujun stood up with a glass for a toast: "Everyone here is the Jiang Family's closest kin, so I won't say much polite talk. Thank you to all the elders, siblings, and children for coming to see Zi Xia. Come on, let's have a toast as a family to celebrate Zi Xia's narrow escape and her smooth recovery~"
"Cheers, cheers~"
"Surviving a great disaster brings good fortune later. Third Sister will surely be happy in the future~"
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Happy New Year to everyone in advance~"
"Drink, drink, drink! Don't go home until you're drunk~"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
Jiang Yujun continued: "Secondly, I want to thank Yunfan for saving Zi Xia. Verbal thanks aren't enough; there must be a substantial material reward. So, I've decided to reward Yunfan with 100 million~"
Boom—
The whole audience was startled.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The red wine Murong Yan had just swallowed almost choked her: "A reward of 100 million??"
"Oh, my Great Beauty Jiang, are you using this opportunity to give money to your precious son?" Zhao Siqing said longingly.
"What? Jealous? Yunfan has the ability; he deserves this. If you could save your third sister, I'd give you as much as you wanted."
Jiang Yujun handed Gu Yunfan a red envelope containing a new bank card.
"No, no, we're all family, why be so polite?"
Gu Yunfan was polite with his words, but his hands instinctively took the red envelope, causing a burst of laughter from the relatives.
During the meal, Shen Yinuo specifically pointed out which dishes were Gu Yunfan's masterpieces. After tasting them, everyone was full of praise.
The War Zone Commander didn't understand why Jiang Yujun didn't agree to her daughters dating Gu Yunfan. It wasn't convenient to ask at the dinner table, so he planned to ask for the reason when he left.
Chapter 116: The CEO Godmother Grows Suspicious, Questioning the Third Princess and Her Godson
The recovery banquet lasted until after two in the afternoon.
Direct and collateral relatives of the Jiang Familygradually took their leave.
Before the War Zone Commander got into his car, he called Jiang Yujun aside, wanting to resolve the doubt in his heart: "Jun Jun, Yan Yan and Zi Xia said you don't agree to the children dating Yunfan. Why is that?"
Jiang Yujun was well-prepared for this and said calmly, "Uncle, I understand your fondness for Yunfan, but he's still young, only eighteen or nineteen. I want him to focus on his studies. He and I have an agreement not to date before university."
"Secondly, if the outside world finds out my son and daughter are dating, it might cause ethical controversy. Many people don't know Yunfan is my Godson. Rumors are fearsome things, and it would damage the Jiang Family's reputation."
"A tall tree attracts the wind, Uncle. If competitors and unscrupulous media hype it up, the Jiang Group's stock price will be seriously affected. It's better to be safe than sorry. Father entrusted the Jiang Group to me, so I must ensure this great ship sails smoothly. Please understand."
Jiang Yujun used the same rhetoric as before. Although it was a bit forced, it wasn't without reason.
The War Zone Commander fell into deep thought after hearing this, took a puff of his cigarette, and pressed further: "You mean even after Yunfan graduates from university, Zi Xia isn't allowed to date him? Including your other daughters? They say 'don't let fertile water flow into others' fields'—aren't you just letting outsiders benefit?"
"Well... I can only say we'll see as we go." Jiang Yujunasked in return, "Wait, Uncle, did Zi Xia ask you to be a lobbyist? Does she like Yunfan? Or has she already started dating him behind my back?"
"I don't think so, I'm not sure. Zi Xia didn't ask me to be a lobbyist. I just personally took a liking to Yunfan and wanted him to marry my granddaughter. Although Zi Xiais quite a bit older than him, I don't think age is an issue. If we're too slow, I'm afraid someone else will snatch Yunfan away. Only now did I find out that Yan Yan and Xi Xi also like him."
"That's enough, Uncle. Children have their own fortunes. You're busy with military affairs, so don't worry about this. Rest assured, Zi Xia is your granddaughter and also my daughter. I promise to find her a good home~"
"But I just like Yunfan. You should reconsider."
"Alright, alright, I'll think about it. Take care of your health~"
Jiang Yujun pushed her Uncle into the car, not wanting to hear his nagging anymore.
The War Zone Commander waved to Gu Yunfan. "Child, keep in touch when you're free. Remember what your Grandfather said. I'm leaving Zi Xia to you; take good care of her for me."
"Don't worry, Grandfather. Have a safe trip~" Gu Yunfanwaved goodbye.
Wei Zixia was secretly delighted but pretended to be embarrassed as she waved along, "Goodbye, Grandfather. I'll come to see you when I have time~"
Murong Yan was full of jealousy and muttered softly, "That old man... he's actually helping Third Sister steal my husband... This is too much bullying..."
Pfft—
The originally uneasy Jiang Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
Facing this situation, Amiya and Zhao Siqing were both filled with a sense of crisis, including Doctor An, who was on the verge of falling for him.
"My dear, I have official business, so I must leave as well."
The Mayor of Jing City approached Jiang Yujun and lowered his voice, "You've seen the situation... I've already said what needs to be said... Weigh it for yourself... It's like they say: 'The players are blind, but the spectators see clearly'... I just hope... you don't leave any regrets in your life..."
Without waiting for Jiang Yujun's response, the Older Female Cousin turned and got into the car.
"You..."
Jiang Yujun stared blankly as the motorcade disappeared from view, her mind a bit of a mess.
"Godmother~, let's go back. You drank quite a bit at noon; go back and rest~" Gu Yunfan led Jiang Yujun back to the courtyard, with the Sisters and servants following behind.
"Eighth Brother, come to my room in a while. There are two cases that haven't been cracked for a long time; help me come up with some ideas." Amiya's request for help was genuine, but her main purpose was to ask him about the matter with Wei Zixia.
Murong Yan chimed in, "Hey, hey, Fourth Sister, that's too much. Eighth Brother just got back, and you're already asking him to solve cases. We haven't even had a good chat with him yet. You can't hog him!"
"Look how anxious you are~ I'm not taking him away, just taking up a bit of his time to help. Is that not allowed?"
"Oh, I see~ Well then, alright~" Murong Yan followed behind Gu Yunfan, her mind entirely focused on finding a chance to get intimate with him.
As she walked, Jiang Yujun said, "Yunfan and Zi Xia, come upstairs with me. Everyone else, go about your business."
Her tone was somewhat serious. None of the Sistersdared to follow. They knew full well that the She-devilwas going to have a talk with those two.
They reached the second floor.
Jiang Yujun had Gu Yunfan wait in the living room first and took Wei Zixia into the bedroom.
"Zi Xia, tell me, what's going on between you and Yunfan?"
Jiang Yujun sat on the edge of the bed, exuding authority without even being angry. She couldn't tell for the moment if there was anything between Wei Zixia and Gu Yunfan; she was just suspicious.
Wei Zixia played dumb. "What do you mean 'what's going on'? Mom, don't listen to Grandfather's nonsense. He's just playing matchmaker randomly."
"Stop pretending. Yunfan has already admitted it."
???
Wei Zixia was startled but reacted immediately. "Mom, you're bluffing, aren't you? Since I was a child, when have I ever lied to you? Why don't you even trust me anymore? If you don't believe me, call Eighth Brother in right now to confront me. Do you want me to call him for you?"
"No need. I'll ask him later."
Seeing her daughter's calm expression and lack of panic, Jiang Yujun couldn't tell for a moment if it was true or false. She actually didn't want to ask because she was afraid of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear, but she felt suffocated if she didn't ask.
"Then, do you like your Eighth Brother?"
"Mom, he's only 18, and I'm nine years older than him. In my eyes, he's just a younger brother. I only have sibling affection and gratitude for him. I'm not like Sixth Sister; she's just a 'Love Brain'. My heart doesn't have room for romance, only for the country and the people!"
As a Special Forces officer, Wei Zixia had undergone rigorous anti-interrogation training. She often simulated enemy interrogations, threats, inducements, and torture. Let alone her mother, even in the face of an enemy's severe torture, she could remain calm and composed without changing her expression.
However, Gu Yunfan, who was eavesdropping in the living room outside the door, almost burst out laughing.
"My heart doesn't have room for romance, only for the country and the people?"
Haha... How did you keep from laughing?
"Your acting is much better than Murong Yan's... You should have gone into acting... Hmm? Isn't Our Mothertalking to you and Third Sister? Why are you sitting here?"
Jiang Ruoxi saw Gu Yunfan as she passed by the second floor.
"Third Sister is inside; I'll go in later." Gu Yunfan activated his X-ray Vision, scanned downstairs, then patted his thigh and beckoned to Jiang Ruoxi. "Darling, come here. Let your husband hold you~"
Jiang Ruoxi hurriedly looked at the master bedroom door and then turned to look at the top of the stairs, visibly nervous.
"What are you afraid of? Come here~" Gu Yunfan stood up and pulled her over.
Jiang Ruoxi said nervously, "Stop it, stop it... Our Motherand Third Sister are in the room... The Sisters are downstairs... It's very dangerous..."
"It's only exciting because it's dangerous~"
Gu Yunfan pulled her into his arms. "Do you miss your husband?"
"Oh..." Jiang Ruoxi's heart raced, and she struggled to get up.
This "White Moonlight" first-love face was so pure and soft~
It was the polar opposite of Third Sister's aggressive features~
"Don't move~" Gu Yunfan leaned down and kissed her... Mmm... He really is a madman... Jiang Ruoxi felt both terrified and exhilarated.
Chapter 117: CEO Godmother: I Want to Be With You for the Rest of My Life... "Yunfan, come in."
It wasn't until he heard his Godmother's call that Gu Yunfan let go of the delicate Jiang Ruoxi. Jiang Ruoxididn't dare linger for another second; she stood up and ran toward the third floor.
What a coward~
Gu Yunfan smiled as he wiped his sweet lips and went to Jiang Yujun's room. "Godmother, I'm here~"
"Zi Xia, go back to your room and get some rest. You've just recovered from a serious injury, so focus on recuperating."
Jiang Yujun only let Wei Zixia leave after seeing Gu Yunfan. This move was to prevent Wei Zixia from colluding with Gu Yunfan once she left.
As Wei Zixia turned, she gave Gu Yunfan a look. She didn't know if Gu Yunfan could understand the signal she was sending, and she couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
What she didn't know was that Gu Yunfan possessed Owl Hearing and X-ray Vision. He had heard and seen her conversation with Godmother perfectly clearly; it was like taking an open-book exam.
"Godmother, I heard that since you returned from Island City, you haven't been eating or sleeping well every day. Is it because you're not used to me not being by your side?"
Before Jiang Yujun could even ask a question, Gu Yunfanconsciously climbed onto his Godmother's bed and naturally placed his hands on her shoulders. "Godmother, you've worked hard. Let me give you a massage~"
"Ha~, you brat~"
Jiang Yujun had originally been frowning.
Her Godson's first few words immediately made her beam with joy.
Wei Zixia, who had reached the door, glanced back, her eyes practically screaming: 'What a suck-up...' "You're right, brat. In the days you were gone, I really wasn't used to it. Nothing felt right~"
"Me too. I was thinking of you every single moment. I thought of you while giving Third Sister Acupuncture, I thought of you while giving her a massage, I thought of you while feeding her medicine, and I even thought of you in my dreams~"
"Hahahaha..."
Jiang Yujun was coaxed into a state of pure delight.
*Barf—*
Fuck!
How could I say such disgusting things?
Forget it, forget it... Godmother just falls for this... I have to endure it to dispel her suspicions... Gu Yunfancontinued to add fuel to the fire: "A few times I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore. I was so scared that I woke up with a start, sat bolt upright, and my forehead was covered in cold sweat."
"Oh my~, what kind of terrible dream is that? Godmotherloves you so much, how could I not want you?"
Jiang Yujun turned around to comfort him: "Come here, let Godmother hug my little baby~"
When Gu Yunfan hugged her, he clearly felt that she was softer than Wei Zixia. "Godmother, why do you think I have dreams like that? They say dreams are omens. You won't really abandon me in the future, will you?"
"Nonsense! Dreams are the opposite of reality. You are my lifeblood. In this life... no... for all eternity, I want to be with you, never to be separated~"
Yikes... Godmother is even more mushy... "Really? Then swear it. No matter what happens, you can't abandon me."
"Fine, fine, fine~, Godmother swears. No matter the circumstances, Godmother wants you and will never abandon you~"
"Hypothetically, if I made a mistake, would you forgive me?"
"You're such a good boy, what mistake could you possibly make?"
"I'm just saying 'what if'."
"Alright, alright. As long as you don't commit murder, arson, or any crimes, no matter what mistake you make, Godmother won't hold it against you~"
No murder or arson? No crimes?
Dating several of your daughters isn't against the law, right?
"Thank you, Godmother. Godmother, I love you~"
Gu Yunfan gave Jiang Yujun a kiss on the forehead.
[interaction value +30]
"Aha~, Godmother loves you too~"
Jiang Yujun felt Gu Yunfan's words were a bit strange, but immersed in the sweet talk, she didn't think much of it. She just assumed Gu Yunfan was worried because of the nightmare and wanted some comfort.
"Oh? Godmother, why did you call me here?"
"Oh... that..."
Jiang Yujun had been so busy enjoying her Godson's sugar-coated bullets that she had actually forgotten her purpose. She blinked her fox-like eyes. "It's nothing. There were so many people at lunch, everyone talking at once, that Godmother didn't get a chance to chat with you much. I called you here just because I wanted to talk to you more."
The 'bullets' Gu Yunfan fed her were too sweet. She couldn't be bothered to ask again if Wei Zixia had anything to do with him. Since Wei Zixia had already denied it, she was happy to believe it.
"You're right, Godmother. I have a lot I want to talk to you about too."
Gu Yunfan patted the bed. "Godmother, take off your coat and lie down on the bed. I'll give you a full-body massage~"
"Okay~" Jiang Yujun took off her wool coat and lay flat on the luxurious large bed. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"After the Spring Festival, I want to start a new project." Gu Yunfan took his Godmother's slender, jade-like hand and began pressing acupoints.
"A new project? What new project?"
"Doesn't the Jiang Group have an AI business? Actually, I'm also very interested in AI, especially robots. I've been researching it since junior high, and I've had some insights recently. After the New Year, I want to develop an artificial intelligence robot."
"What?? An artificial intelligence robot?? You understand that too??"
"A little bit~"
"Oh my goodness! If you keep this up, I'll start to suspect you've transmigrated from another world too!"
"I'm not a transmigrator, but I have a system. Have you read web novels? Do you know what a system is? It's just..."
"Alright, alright, alright. Read fewer web novels in your spare time. Tell me more about your artificial intelligence robot project."
"It's like this..."
Gu Yunfan briefly and concisely introduced the forms and technology of the 'Super Artificial Intelligence Robot R&D Skill' rewarded by the system.
Jiang Yujun looked incredulous after hearing it. "You're saying... the robots you develop can be as lifelike as real people? And even mimic animals and plants?"
"Yes~"
"Heavens... you're not joking with me, are you?"
"Just tell me if you'll support me. Developing an artificial intelligence robot is a massive systems engineering project. It's not something I can do alone. It requires a lot of manpower, materials, and financial support."
"I'll support it! Whatever you do, Godmother will support you!"
Jiang Yujun agreed without hesitation. Objectively speaking, she thought it was unlikely, but she was willing to trust Gu Yunfan unconditionally. Even if he messed up, it didn't matter; she'd just treat it as practice for her Godson.
"Godmother is the best! Saranghaeyo~"
Gu Yunfan held Jiang Yujun's feet and began a foot massage. Jiang Yujun was wearing black base tights underneath, commonly known as 'bare-leg artifacts,' which were equivalent to winter black silk stockings.
"Mom! Are you done talking with Eighth Brother? I still need to ask him to help me look at a case." Amiya's urging voice came from downstairs.
"What's the rush? In another hour, I'll let your Eighth Brother go down."
"An hour? Fine, fine."
Amiya saw Wei Zixia coming out of the Main Housethrough the window of the West Wing Room.
Perfect!
I'll go talk to Third Sister first!
"Major Wei, come here, let us sisters have a chat. While you were injured and hospitalized, your consciousness was blurred. Even though we met, we didn't get to say much."
"Coming~"
Wei Zixia felt a bit nervous facing Amiya. She knew very well how strong Amiya's observation, reasoning, and analytical skills were in investigation, and she was worried Fourth Sister would see some clues.
However, she was no pushover either. Based on the performance at the lunch banquet, she actually had some suspicions about Amiya as well.
Chapter 118: The Third Princess and Fourth Princess Test Each Other, while the Sixth Princess Eavesdrops
"New Year is coming soon. Is Fourth Sister still busy solving cases?"
Wei Zixia pushed open Amiya's door and closed it behind her. The room emitted a faint scent of case file ink.
In the bedroom next door, Murong Yan crept out on tiptoe and pressed herself against the door panel, holding her breath to eavesdrop.
At the desk, Amiya closed the case files spread out everywhere and stood up to pour a cup of tea for her Third Sister. "Don't you know the nature of my work yet? No days off all year round. How about you? Are you sure your body is fine now?"
"Great, I'm basically fully recovered. Old Eight said that after another week of massages, I can return to the team." Wei Zixia noticed someone at the door and knew it was Murong Yan.
Amiya naturally noticed as well. "Congratulations~. You were lucky to escape death this time, but fate won't always favor you. The Special Operations Team is too dangerous. Have you thought about transferring to another position?"
"When you were catching that serial killer, if Old Eighthadn't stepped in, wouldn't you have almost fallen at the hands of the criminal? Why don't you consider changing positions?"
"I'm a police officer. Maintaining social stability is my duty."
"I'm a soldier. Protecting the home and defending the country is also my duty."
"Ha~, you're just the same as before."
"You too. If we were afraid of death, we wouldn't be doing this, right?"
"That's right. Some things always need someone to do them."
Amiya handed the hot tea to Wei Zixia.
The seven sisters were as close as siblings with deep feelings, but they were subdivided into several small groups.
The Third Princess was a soldier, and the Fourth Princesswas a police officer. There was a two-year age difference between them, their personalities clicked, and both had practiced martial arts since childhood, so they had the closest relationship.
The Sixth Princess Murong Yan and the Seventh PrincessJiang Ruoxi were younger and belonged to one group. The Eldest Princess and Second Princess were mature and stable, belonging to another. The Fifth Princess's age was in the middle, neither up nor down; she had a cheerful and bold personality and was a jack-of-all-trades who could get along with any group.
After the pleasantries, Amiya wanted to get to the point, but with a little mouse eavesdropping behind the door, it was inconvenient to speak.
So, she calmly and slowly walked to the door and suddenly turned the handle to pull it open.
"Ouch—" Murong Yan stumbled and fell into Amiya's arms.
"I thought there was a mouse at the door, but it turns out it's just you, little girl. What are you doing sneakily leaning against our door?"
"You're the mouse! Who's being sneaky?" Murong Yangave a sheepish smile. "That... I just wanted to find my two sisters to play, and it just so happened that you opened the door~"
"Find us to play? Fine, come here. I was just about to talk to Third Sister about you and Old Eight. Are you dating Old Eight behind our backs?"
"Cough cough... No, no..."
Murong Yan was instantly terrified. She had long heard from Gu Yunfan that Fourth Sister knew about her secret affair with Gu Yunfan, but Fourth Sister had never confronted her. Mentioning it so suddenly now, and in front of Third Sister, was beyond embarrassing.
Retreat, retreat, retreat—
If I can't afford to provoke you, can't I at least hide?
"Ouch... I think I ate something bad at lunch... I'm going to the bathroom... I can't hold it anymore... Bye-bye..." Murong Yan clutched her stomach and bolted.
Wei Zixia pursed her lips and smiled. "This girl is really funny~. By the way, is there really something going on between her and Old Eight?"
"I'm not sure either, so I wanted to ask her just now." The two shared a tacit understanding, both pretending to be completely unaware.
Having driven away the little mouse, Amiya began to probe Third Sister. "Let's not talk about others, let's talk about you. Old Eight saved you and took such careful care of you for so long. You must be very moved, right?"
"Hearts are made of flesh; it's impossible not to be moved. This kid is an extraordinary person. I've never seen such an all-around genius. He refreshed my worldview, and he's also a very good person. Except for being a bit of a jerk sometimes, there's nothing wrong with him. Of course, his jerkiness isn't really a flaw either."
"How is he a jerk?"
Amiya felt that Third Sister had changed. In her impression, Third Sister spoke very little and was a cool-type goddess. However, at this moment, she was talking incessantly and smiling when mentioning Gu Yunfan.
Wei Zixia took a sip of tea, unable to stop a smile from tugging at the corners of her mouth, but she deliberately kept a straight face. "He always makes me call him 'Daddy.' Don't you think he's a jerk? What an impudent fellow!"
"Haha... that sounds like something he would do~" Amiyagrinned and laughed, but then felt a twinge of jealousy. "But, do you know what kind of behavior it is for a boy to make a girl call him 'Daddy'?"
"What kind of behavior?"
"Flirting..."
"Get out of here!"
Wei Zixia became nervous instantly, but she didn't show it, denying, "He's just simply asking for a beating!"
Not admitting it?
We're both thousand-year-old foxes; why are you playing games with me?
Amiya stared intently at Third Sister, observing her micro-expressions and body language. It had to be said that the psychological quality of a special operations officer was much stronger than that of Seventh Sister, Sixth Sister, or Fifth Sister. Her expression was calm, her eyes were clear, and there wasn't a hint of panic. She was actually flawless.
But... Amiya firmly believed there was something between Wei Zixia and Gu Yunfan. Her confidence came from the unique keen sense of a master detective.
Deciding not to beat around the bush anymore, Amiya got straight to the point. "Your grandfather gave Old Eight a huge gift today. He gave all of the Wei Family's heirlooms to Old Eight and made it clear he wanted you to marry him. What's your attitude?"
These words were so blunt they left no room for maneuver. Wei Zixia reacted quickly, calmly waving her hand. "Don't mention it. My grandfather has gone senile. He didn't even ask for my opinion beforehand, which made it very awkward for me. He just likes Old Eight from the bottom of his heart, which is why he did such a thing."
"And you? Do you like Old Eight?" Amiya pressed on, becoming even more direct.
Wei Zixia stopped smiling and said seriously, "Fourth Sister, did Our Mother ask you to talk to me? I just told her clearly that I only see Old Eight as a younger brother. My heart is filled with the country and the people, not romantic feelings."
Hiss... you're truly great... can't laugh, can't laugh... we've had professional training... no matter how funny it is, we won't laugh... Amiya almost couldn't hold it in and gave a thumbs up. "Impressive! Third Sister's level of consciousness is truly high!"
"How high?"
"As high as a hundred-story building~"
"Oh, you~"
Trying to bait me, are you?
Wei Zixia understood Fourth Sister's intention and turned from defense to offense. "Fourth Sister, Old Eight also saved you back then, and he continuously helped you solve major cases, assisting you in gaining merit and promotions. You two are usually in close contact. Don't you have any feelings for him at all?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I also only see him as a younger brother. My heart also only has the country and the people!"
???
I'm really speechless... using my own lines to shut me up... you're something else... The two sisters looked into each other's eyes, both with knowing smiles. Yet, they both stubbornly insisted on "only seeing him as a younger brother," testing each other and guarding against one another. Their sense of propriety was handled so well that not a single clue was revealed.
It seems I still have to talk to Gu Yunfan... Amiya and Wei Zixia chatted for a while without reaching any conclusion. Wei Zixia went back to the East Wing Room to rest. It wasn't until mid-afternoon that Gu Yunfan came down from the second floor.
Chapter 119: Five! What exactly do you want to do?? Next, are you going to... "Yo~, Doctor Gu is finally here. The Great Demon Head lectured you for so long?"
Amiya was initially annoyed by Wei Zixia, but her mood immediately improved when she saw Gu Yunfan.
There were too many people and too many gossiping mouths at noon, so she and Gu Yunfan didn't get to say much. Now they could finally have a good chat, and it was a private world for just the two of them, undisturbed.
"What lecture? Godmother didn't lecture me. How could Godmother bear to lecture me? She just missed me and wanted to chat with me."
Gu Yunfan hooked the door shut with his foot: "Then I saw Godmother was a bit tired, so I gave her a massage and massaged her to sleep."
"Hmph~, if I'm not mistaken, Our Mother originally wanted to talk to you about you and Third Sister, but before she could even start, you got your hands on her and gave her a massage. She drank your love potion and was too embarrassed to trouble you, right?"
"Damn! Did you plant a bug on me? Or are you remotely monitoring my phone?" Gu Yunfan patted his pockets.
"Ah ha~" Amiya was a little pleased by his reaction, because it proved her deduction was correct. "You're quite something, kid. You're always coaxing the Great Demon Head until she's dizzy, taking advantage of Our Mother's favoritism to mess with us behind our backs, aren't you?"
"It's you who are messing with me."
"Including Third Sister?"
Damn... I knew she called me here to talk about this... This woman's observational skills are astonishing. Since I can't hide it from her, I won't. Anyway, what can she do to me?
Gu Yunfan activated his X-ray Vision and looked around, then turned around, giving two thumbs up, feigning admiration: "Fourth Sister is amazing! Truly a master detective!"
"F*ck!" Amiya immediately stood up, grabbing Gu Yunfan's collar and baring her teeth: "You're so frank! You're not even pretending anymore!"
Branch Head Ya is a police god; nothing can escape your discerning eyes.
"Stop with the flattery! Tell me! How long have you two been together?! How did it happen?!"
"Actually, it was just yesterday. Third Sister was grateful to me for saving her life and patiently taking care of her every day. To repay my kindness, she invited me to the beach. Before we even chatted for a few minutes, she pushed me onto the sand, kissed me wildly for over ten minutes, then dragged me to the car and started tearing off my clothes..."
"Stop, stop, stop! You don't need to be that detailed!"
Amiya's head throbbed. "Don't push all the blame onto Third Sister! It takes two to tango! If you didn't accept, could she have succeeded??"
"When she hit me... oh no... when she kissed me, I was actually resisting internally. But her brain nerves were severely damaged and couldn't handle stimulation. If I refused her, she would definitely have an emotional breakdown, which would be very dangerous. At best, she'd go insane; at worst, she'd die. For her safety, I had no choice but to sacrifice myself and reluctantly satisfy her. She told me you're her Best friend, and you don't want anything to happen to her, do you?"
"Holy crap—"
Amiya was speechless: "You really have a bodhisattva's heart!"
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I've been kind-hearted since I was a child."
"Shut up! You're getting more shameless by the minute!"
Amiya grabbed Gu Yunfan's neck with both hands: "I really want to strangle you!"
"As a police officer, knowingly breaking the law is an even greater crime."
"Get lost!" Amiya's face turned red with anger. "I haven't even sorted out your business with Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, and Seventh Sister, and you've added another one! Five! What exactly do you want to do??"
"Alas, when one is in the jianghu, one cannot help oneself~"
"Don't give me that! You're just lustful! Young and addicted to women, utterly debauched! If this were the eighties, you'd have been shot eight hundred times!"
"Yes, I am guilty. My greatest sin is being too strong, making you all covet me. Everyone wants to have me, and I'm soft-hearted, bad at refusing, and can't bear to see you sad. What do you think I should do?"
"Hmph! A bunch of twisted logic, you can turn black into white with your words! You're corrupting one after another! Are you planning to go after Second Sister and Eldest Sister next?!"
"Cough cough... don't talk nonsense, I don't mean that."
"You'd better not!"
Amiya was heartbroken: "Husband! Turn back! You can't keep going like this. Have you thought about the consequences if this all comes out one day?"
"Then what should I do? Give me some advice."
"I..."
Amiya didn't actually have a perfect solution. She had talked to Zhao Siqing in the garage, and Zhao Siqing was resolute, absolutely refusing to break up.
She hadn't talked to Murong Yan or Jiang Ruoxi, but in her judgment, neither of them would be willing to give up Gu Yunfan.
Gu Yunfan was right about one thing: he was too powerful; once one fell in love, they would be deeply entangled and unable to extricate themselves.
If it were her, she wouldn't give up either. Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. If she couldn't do it herself, why should she expect others to?
"How about I become a monk?" Gu Yunfan suddenly blurted out.
Amiya laughed in exasperation. "You becoming a monk is worse than castrating yourself with a knife."
"Would you be willing?"
"Get lost!" Amiya patted his face, saying earnestly: "Stop it, child, this is enough. I'm warning you, Third Sister is the last one. I'll figure out a way to deal with the others. You must promise not to harbor any more improper thoughts about other women. Even if others come onto you, you must remain steadfast and firmly refuse! Understand?!"
"Okay, I promise. Next time a woman tries to corrupt me, I'll strongly resist. If she's persistent, I'll ask you for help."
"Alright, no problem~"
Amiya loved Gu Yunfan too much; she could only verbally criticize him, completely helpless. "You've seriously hurt me, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Gu Yunfan raised an eyebrow: "How about I give you a full-body massage too?"
"Massage your head, you! Help me solve a case first."
"No rush, you're a bit hot-headed, so let's get rid of that heat with a massage first~"
Gu Yunfan reached out and pushed Amiya onto the bed.
"Stop it, stop it... Our Mother and the sisters are home..." Amiya vigilantly looked out the window and at the door.
"So what if they're home? It's just a massage~"
Gu Yunfan leaned over Amiya, pinning her hands: "Don't move, let me give you an oral massage first~"
"I knew it..."
Before she could finish, Gu Yunfan pressed in closer.
Audacious... too audacious... this kid really isn't afraid of death... The moment their lips met, the indignation in Amiya's heart instantly dropped by three points. As Gu Yunfan went deeper, it gradually dropped by five points, then eight points... until it vanished completely, replaced by a long-lost joy and the thrill of being illicit.
Putting aside other aspects... just his kissing technique... no one can resist... Alas... what a sin... I've truly fallen into this kid's hands...
