Chapter 8: Was it intentional or accidental?
"Wake up to a cup of black coffee, and it's another day of self-discipline."
Gu Luojin changed into sportswear, took out two packets of instant black coffee, brewed them, and drank them.
I ran into Zhang Zifeng, who was studying hard for the college entrance exam. He was sitting in the pavilion reciting a text: "Guan Guan cry the ospreys, on the islet in the river..."
There's also Zhang Jingyi, the child who accompanies you to school.
"Jingyi, Zifeng, good morning."
"Good morning, Brother Gu X2."
"Want to exercise?"
"Yes."
Start with a 5km warm-up, then back in the courtyard, do aerobics followed by ab exercises, wide-grip push-ups, brick push-ups, and a Kegel exercise routine.
Zhang Jingyi walked towards him with a glass of water in her hand.
"Brother Gu, I've left the water here for you."
Zhang Jingyi's sweet and soft voice rang in his ears as she gently placed the water glass in front of him.
This attentive scene did not escape Zhang Zifeng's notice.
She suddenly found the water glass particularly irritating, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Why is he being so attentive..."
After saying that, her face flushed, and she hurriedly grabbed a book to cover her face, secretly pouting.
"Thank you, Jingyi."
She didn't leave, but sat aside and watched him train.
It's often said that men are smelly because they sweat and have a body odor that most people don't like.
But some people like this taste, which is a shameful niche hobby.
Just like some people enjoy deliberately touching a slight electric current to feel the tingling sensation.
Some people enjoy smelling their armpits, even if it smells unpleasant, and still feel satisfied.
Some people even enjoy the smell of the residue left on their hands after cutting their toenails—a smell that is both unpleasant and intoxicating.
He simply couldn't understand that.
Sometime later, Lang Lang's reading aloud stopped, and an audience member appeared in front of him.
He can look at whatever he wants as long as it doesn't interfere with his training.
What's the purpose of working out? Isn't it just to show off your size?
His loose-fitting sportswear revealed his abs as he did push-ups, catching the eyes of the two women.
Sweat covered Gu Luojin's handsome face after the workout, and every inch of his taut muscles exuded primal tension.
He casually lifted his shirt to wipe his sweat, revealing distinct bulges in his abdomen, with sweat trickling down like the savageness of a predator after a hunt.
His breath was filled with a vibrant aura of aggression—an unadorned, raw masculine charm, brimming with a sense of control and conquest, making one's heart race and one's gaze unable to escape.
Which young girl just beginning to experience love could withstand such a test!
A few seconds later, Gu Luojin realized something was wrong and quickly put down her shirt to cover herself, resulting in a short and quick "bonus" moment.
The two women sighed, wondering why the scale couldn't be increased or the duration extended.
Then he thought, if he could win over Gu Luojin, wouldn't he be able to do whatever she wanted with him?
The two women felt a surge of joy at the thought.
After spending just one day together, they had already discovered many appealing qualities in Gu Luojin, but they never expected that there would be a surprise waiting for them at the end.
If I had to describe it in two words, it would be "perfect".
Who cares about scandals or age gaps? This is how women should be, and if you're going to find a boyfriend, you should find a man like this.
This sentence kept echoing in Zhang Jingyi's mind.
Looking at the six-pack abs outlined by sweat, she licked her lips.
"I really want to touch it."
The younger sister remained reserved.
If the older sister has already made a move, she'll even try to provoke me in return. I want to see how you talk back to me.
Zhang Zifeng stared at Gu Luojin's well-defined abs and suddenly realized something.
Ha, men! They always exaggerate the things they care about most.
She remembered Peng Peng's earnest attempt to deceive her: "A man's abs look more natural if they're flatter and lighter!"
Now that I see Gu Ge's abs, which are practically "anatomical specimens," Peng Peng's are hardly abs at all; they're more like...
A sudden surge in polite greetings.
It seems that Zhang Jingyi discovered his little scheme.
"Brother Gu, you fouled! Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"
Gu Luojin pretended to understand, feigning ignorance: "It was an accident on purpose."
……
The three of them were discussing making breakfast when Teacher Huang, who had gone for a run, returned, and the breakfast plan was put on hold.
Everyone tacitly avoided mentioning breakfast. For Teacher Huang, the kitchen was a forbidden area where no one else was allowed to dabble in it. It was also the only way for him to slack off and gain vanity. If he were deprived of this right, he would not be able to survive in the Mushroom House.
"Xiao Gu, you're up so early."
"Seeing the excellent Teacher Huang getting up to exercise, I want to follow in your footsteps too!"
"Exercise is good, too many people are in poor health these days... Life lies in movement, Xiao Gu, you agree, right?"
Gu Luojin never expected that a casual compliment would lead to a three-minute lecture.
Is this bad habit impossible to break?
"Yes, then Teacher Huang, I'm going to take a shower now."
"Go ahead, I'm going to stretch, stretch."
When Gu Luojin went to take a shower, a new guest arrived: Da Linzi, the abandoned heir of Deyun Society.
The feuds and struggles for heirship among wealthy families intensify as he grows up.
His biological mother left, and his father and stepmother favored the concubine and neglected the legitimate son.
The stepmother plotted to force Cao Guojiu out, she sidelined the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian, and appointed Yunping as the chief minister of Deyun Society, with Yunlei and Yunpeng sitting on either side of him.
The stepmother added, "My son Dalin is of pure and kind nature. He repeatedly asked me when I would be pregnant, and Dalin then left."
At the critical moment, Crown Prince Dalin was fortunate to be guided by his tutor Yu Qian. He followed the example of the Spring and Autumn Annals, "Shen Sheng died while inside the palace, while Chong'er lived in peace while outside the palace," and fled to Deyun to raise troops and strengthen his own power. The Wang family then had no way to deal with him.
In the 28 years of Deyun Society, it is said that "Yunhe Jiuxiao is not as good as Cao".
In the autumn of the same year, Cao Guojiu led troops from various warlords to Hulao Pass, intending to reclaim the Tingyun Kingdom and respond to the Crown Prince's call.
The emperor felt that the father and son were at odds with each other, and that the country was in danger of collapse. He repeatedly summoned the crown prince back to the capital, but the crown prince ignored him, citing his busy military affairs.
He also said, "I work with my superiors and only fulfill my filial duties in front of the family." Such is the affection between father and son, how can it not make people sigh? —"Romance of the Three Guos".
Da Linzi is in his own home, but he doesn't have his own towel, toothbrush, bed, or private room. What else is he but a guest?
Even Zhang Yunlei, the maternal uncle of the second son, Prince Fenyang, has his own room in Lao Guo's house. Da Linzi's separate room is not in his own house, but in the house of Grand Tutor Yu Qian.
In his early years, he made Da Linzi rent a house instead of buying him one, while he spent a fortune to buy a villa for his second son in Beijing. This differential treatment was too obvious.
Guo Degang often says that he is a traditional artist who doesn't care about the order of characters when naming his son.
The eldest son was named Qilin, and the second son was named Fenyang. They sound like they have nothing in common, but in fact, the opposite is true, because the Prince of Fenyang's mount was a Qilin.
Years later, Dalinzi complained bitterly in an interview: "Without my success, my father's method of teaching through setbacks would not have worked on others. I made his teaching method what it is."
The two were father and son, yet they became the most familiar strangers.
In the end, Wang wanted to transfer the legal representative of Deyun Society to Dalinzi.
Her virtues were praised throughout Bianjing (Kaifeng), and everyone lauded Lady Qin's virtuous and kind nature.
After Gu Luojin came out, she saw Da Linzi, who was talkative with acquaintances but polite to his father, and sighed, "Every family has its own troubles."
