Everyone is urging him, but what can he do?

Lu Zhiyuan’s personal mobile number has only been added by a few people. Even the doctors and nutritionists in the team only added Li Jiang. Anything that needs to be conveyed goes through Li Jiang. It’s nearly impossible to contact him directly for work matters.

“No need,” Lu Zhiyuan calmly said, “It’s too late.”

Li Jiang was confused. “What does “it’s too late” mean? Third Master, if you and Third Young Master could reconcile, you speak ten sentences a day, and Third Young Master speaks a hundred sentences a day. It would average out to fifty sentences each. Can you please clarify a bit? It’s not too late for public relations, although it would be sensational. If you want to handle public relations, there are still ways to do it. Shouldn’t you clarify or deny it?”

“Fine!” Li Jiang could only grumble in his heart, not daring to say it to Lu Zhiyuan’s face.

Lu Zhiyuan got up and left the suite, with Li Jiang following closely behind. Lu Zhiyuan said, “You don’t need to follow.”

“Yes!”

Li Jiang scratched his head. Third Master has such high combat power he won’t encounter any danger.

Gu Ziyu couldn’t sleep either, while Gu Ci slept the best. After drinking a glass of wine, she fell asleep carefree. Gu Ziyu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so he got up and went swimming.

In his previous life, when he couldn’t sleep, he would go swimming. Of course, he was lazy and didn’t like to move around, so swimming meant floating around in a pool for a few hours. But after exercising in this life, his physical fitness improved, and he could swim for forty minutes.

When he arrived at the swimming pool, he found that there was already someone swimming. Their posture was graceful, with a perfect figure, and the splashes of water were beautiful. Gu Ziyu changed his clothes and put on swimming trunks, tied a swimming ring around his waist, and splashed around in the pool.

Abandoning himself to despair, he floundered in place.

At midnight, a large and a small figure were in the swimming pool. Gu Ziyu was aimlessly splashing around with the swimming ring, thinking about how his dad didn’t show any reaction after his mom confessed to him. Would his mom be sad? Suddenly, the person swimming freestyle next to him splashed water on his face.

“Damn it!” Gu Ziyu cursed.

The swimming pool was so big. Why did they have to swim so close to him?

He turned around and realized that he had floundered from the far right of the pool to the middle, blocking someone’s way. Gu Ziyu touched his nose and moved to the side again, each standing on their own side, ignoring the other.

When the person surfaced and took off their goggles, Gu Ziyu realized it was Lu Zhiyuan.

“Brother?” Gu Ziyu sneered. “You’re in a good mood, swimming in the middle of the night. I can’t believe the swimming category in the Olympics didn’t include you in the lineup.”

“Same to you!” Lu Zhiyuan leaned against the pool, adjusting his breathing. Gu Ziyu was encased in a rainbow-colored swimming ring, which Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but find interesting. “Quite unique.”

Gu Ziyu looked down at the rainbow ring and felt mocked.

“This is called childlike innocence. You’re old, so you naturally wouldn’t understand.”

“Hmm.”

“Hmph!”

Gu Ziyu felt annoyed. He should have chosen a black swimming ring. But he was more like a child and liked bright colors, so he naturally chose the rainbow ring.

Gu Ziyu, still wearing the ring, splashed over and questioned him aggressively. “Sister confessed to you, and you didn’t respond or reject her. That’s so despicable.”

“It’s an adult matter, don’t meddle in it as a child.”

“I’m not a child!”

Lu Zhiyuan closed his eyes to rest, lifted his eyelids to glance at him, and found Gu Ziyu, with his fair and tender skin, encased in the rainbow ring, looking pouty and cute. “Hmm.”

“I’m eighteen years old,” Gu Ziyu said, “but 1 look younger.”

“A Benjamin Button situation?”

“Yes!” Gu Ziyu said arrogantly, “You can think of it that way.”

Lu Zhiyuan, for some reason, found himself amused by him. He raised his lips slightly. “Children should go to bed early. Staying up late won’t make you grow taller.”

Gu Ziyu felt annoyed. Lu Zhiyuan had said the same thing several times. No matter which dad it was, their reason for urging him to sleep early was always that staying up late wouldn’t make him grow taller, as if he would only reach a height of 1.6 meters when he grew up.

“When I grow up, I’ll be 1.9 meters tall!” Gu Ziyu said, placing his hands on his hips. “Taller than you!”

Lu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow. “I’m 1.93 meters.”

Gu Ziyu gaped.

Damn it! He lost! He was too hasty. He should have said 1.91 meters. Gu Ziyu said coldly, “I suspect you’re lying to me!”

Lu Zhiyuan closed his eyes again.

Gu Ziyu swam to his side and spoke harshly, “Do you like my sister?”

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t answer, so Gu Ziyu poked his chest. “I’m asking you!”

“I don’t like her!” Lu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, looking closely at Gu Ziyu. He couldn’t help but notice that the child’s eyes were similar to his own. Gu Ziyu was angry, and his eyes sparkled.

“You’re blind!” Gu Ziyu secretly thought. He wanted to find a new dad. He didn’t want this dad anymore.

Lu Zhiyuan reached out and pushed Gu Ziyu away slightly. “Gu Ziyu, what does it feel like to be angry?”

Gu Ziyu was stunned, frozen in the water.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled lightly and asked, “Are you genuinely angry, or are you just pretending to be angry? Do you truly love Gu Ci, or are you just acting like a child who loves Gu Ci?”

“I love her, of course,” Gu Ziyu said firmly. No one cared more about his mom than him.

Lu Zhiyuan said softly, “When you love someone, there’s no need to constantly talk about it. It can lead to misunderstandings. You’re only reminding yourself.”

Gu Ziyu felt a chill all over his body, and his animosity grew deeper. He didn’t like his dad at night. He had a pair of eyes that could see through people’s hearts, able to see the most vulnerable parts of a person’s heart.

“If you don’t like my sister, why did you become so unsettled after her confession? Why did you come swimming at night to exhaust yourself?” Gu Ziyu wasn’t a pushover either. “What are you afraid of?”

Lu Zhiyuan’s gaze remained calm. “You don’t need to test me.”

He stood up, grabbed a towel to dry himself, put on a bathrobe, and turned to say, “It’s cold at night. Don’t stay in the water for too long. Go back and sleep early.”

With that, Lu Zhiyuan left with big strides, leaving Gu Ziyu alone, floating on the water’s surface, watching his figure, his gaze obscure.

The next day, the plans for the group were also arranged. They took Gu Ziyu to the wildlife park. Gu Ziyu could clearly distinguish Lu Zhiyuan’s different personalities. The fear and animosity from last night had completely disappeared, and his smile remained bright and sweet.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the wildlife park. On the way, they were photographed again, and passersby whispered to each other, seemingly excited and discussing something. Lu Zhiyuan was confused. He was wearing a mask, and Gu Ci wasn’t a celebrity. Did they recognize him?

It wasn’t until they finished touring the wildlife park that Lu Zhiyuan received a call from Lu Ze. Lu Ze’s tone was serious and heartfelt, “Son, congratulations! Your long-cherished wish has come true. You have a girlfriend now. Let’s have a meal together another day. Dad really likes Gu Ci too.”

Lu Zhiyuan frowned. “Did you eat some dishes and get drunk, spouting nonsense?”

“Why be shy? Gu Ci’s confession last night was so sensational, the whole world knows about it,” Lu Ze’s tone lightened with a laugh. “My son’s choice of girlfriend is truly commendable.”

Lu Zhiyuan had a bad feeling and hung up the phone. He checked social media and saw the video of Gu Ci’s confession on stage.

He didn’t have the habit of scrolling through his socials, but the moment he opened it, he saw the clips of Gu Ci’s confession.

It was even trending.

Lu Zhiyuan, I like you!

Gu Ci likes Lu Zhiyuan!
