The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 267 - 2: This Is My Lover, His Name Is Chi Yu
It might leave a psychological shadow.
Lu Tinglou walked over and asked, "Need help?"
This time, he saw the man’s face.
The difference was that last night he wore a mask, showing only his eyes, and during those brief seconds of eye contact, Lu Tinglou saw hostility in them.
Seeing the man today, he indeed matched Sister Yao’s description.
However, his face looked like one that belonged in the entertainment industry.
Lu Tinglou recalled carefully; it seemed that this face was not seen in the entertainment industry, it looked too unfamiliar.
"Thanks, not needed." Gu Yuan shook her head and said, "I can manage my own matters just fine."
Lu Tinglou didn’t think much of it, assuming that the matter was likely inconsequential. Given Gu Yuan’s competence, she could handle both large and small issues. Plus, since she dared to confront this person alone, they probably knew each other, and there wasn’t much else to speculate about.
As he thought about this, Lu Tinglou saw Gu Yuan extend her hand toward the man.
Chi Yu reached out his hand and clasped Gu Yuan’s hand tightly, fingers interlocked.
Yao Tao rubbed her eyes, thinking she might have seen wrong.
Upon closer look —
They were really holding hands.
Yao Tao: "..."
And Lu Tinglou: "..."
Gu Yuan, with an expression as gentle as water, said softly to Yao Tao, "I need to go out for a while, so I won’t be helping you with dinner. Would it be okay if I come back to eat what you’ve made?"
Who was most shocked at this moment?
It had to be Yao Tao!!
Lu Tinglou’s shock was merely well-concealed; unlike Yao Tao, who was left speechless, his hand was slowly tightening.
It took Yao Tao half a minute to react and answer, "Sure, that’s fine. I originally thought about closing the kitchen door while cooking tonight, just in case you wanted to help."
"Alright, I’ll be going now." Gu Yuan held Chi Yu’s hand as they left together.
Just as Lu Tinglou was about to step forward, he saw the man beside Gu Yuan glance over, his expression cold. The look he gave Lu Tinglou was still filled with hostility, but to Lu Tinglou, it seemed like flaunting...
Once Gu Yuan and the man left, Lu Tinglou asked, "Sister Yao, have you seen him before?"
Yao Tao was still immersed in the shock from earlier. Upon hearing Lu Tinglou’s question, she instinctively replied, "Of course, he’s a guest staying here."
Lu Tinglou’s expression turned cold: "He knows Gu Yuan?"
"I wouldn’t know." Yao Tao explained, "I’ve always been here, so how would I know about the boss lady’s affairs, let alone... personal matters."
This clearly seemed like a personal issue that couldn’t be easily explained.
It also made sense why the boss lady wanted to talk to him alone earlier.
However, what Yao Tao worried about the most now was that this handsome young man said he already had someone he liked and almost proposed... he better not be toying with the boss lady’s feelings...
...
Gu Yuan led Chi Yu towards the village entrance bridge.
Chi Yu was particularly silent along the way, but held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go even for a second.
Reaching the bridge, Gu Yuan stopped, and Chi Yu did too. When Gu Yuan tried to withdraw her hand, she couldn’t as he was holding it tightly. She said, "My palm is sweating."
Chi Yu hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hand.
His palm was sweating too, but he hadn’t noticed.
"Why don’t you ask where I’m taking you?" Gu Yuan, wearing flat shoes, was now a head shorter than Chi Yu. Usually, she didn’t have to look up as much with heels, but with flats, she had to look up more.
Chi Yu lowered his head, his clear eyes reflecting her image, and he said, "Wherever Yuanyuan takes me, I’ll go."
Gu Yuan joked, "Such a research-worthy person, aren’t you afraid I’ll send you to the national biological research institute?"
His reply was, "It’s up to Yuanyuan."
Gu Yuan thought, Chi Yu wouldn’t be someone who would compromise like this in his world. He had principles and strong capabilities, able to achieve anything. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen him as her support back then.
Back then, for self-preservation and to leave, she made a great effort to win him over. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
She had thought Chi Yu was just coincidentally attracted to her; he had many women to choose from, and if she left, he might soon forget about her.
But she hadn’t expected Chi Yu to be that persistent.
Once he set his mind on her, there was no one else for him.
The image of him kneeling humbly and begging her not to leave was vividly etched in her memory, as if from a dream.
Gu Yuan said, "You disappeared from the world, yet I still remember you... Now I don’t want to leave any regrets, I want everyone around me to get to know you anew."
He said, "It’s meaningless."
"I think it’s meaningful, so it must be." Gu Yuan held his face in her hand and stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips.
He leaned down further, his lips unmoving, letting that gentle soft embrace meet them.
She parted like a dragonfly touching water, her hand lingering on his cheek: "I don’t want any regrets."
He agreed without principles, "Alright, whatever Yuanyuan says."
Sheng Yi’s car arrived.
The promised hour was actually an hour and a half.
The winding mountain roads were long and twisting, which slowed down the drive.
Sheng Yi felt a bit carsick on this visit; last time she came to record a show, she took the show’s car, and the driver was professional. This time, taking the assistant’s car, who was unfamiliar with the roads and driving on such winding paths, Sheng Yi was quite carsick.
Seeing Gu Yuan waving from afar, Sheng Yi regained some energy: "Oh my God, finally arrived."
The assistant drove over and slowly stopped the car.
Sheng Yi stepped out of the car, and the first thing she did was hug Gu Yuan: "Yuanyuan, your darling has finally arrived, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Gu Yuan gently patted Sheng Yi’s back: "Come, let me introduce you to someone."
"Who is it?" Sheng Yi followed Gu Yuan’s gesture, looking towards the direction, right next to her.
"My God..." Sheng Yi’s eyes widened: "Yuanyuan, where did you dig up this new face? If he entered the entertainment industry, he’d be a top-tier handsome star!"
Sheng Yi was stunned by Chi Yu’s appearance.
Even within the entertainment industry, having seen all sorts of handsome guys, none had taken her breath away like Chi Yu. At this moment, standing next to Yuanyuan, they looked like the perfect visual pairing.
As she thought this, she heard Gu Yuan introduce, "Yiyi, this is my lover, his name is Chi Yu."
What?
Yuanyuan has a boyfriend???
No wait... Yuanyuan said, he’s her lover!!
