Chapter 7: Chapter 6 Everyone in the Dormitory Becomes Single, Pu the Empty-Nester

Looking at the scrutinizing gaze of the several older brothers before him, Gu Yu immediately understood that these guys had come to dig for information about him!

He couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Guys, there's no need for this! Just ask whatever you want to know directly! I'll answer anything!"

Seeing how straightforward Gu Yu was, Boss Pu cut to the chase, "Tell us! When did you manage to win over Lin Xiaohua!

Gu Yu was nibbling on corn, but when he heard Boss Pu say this, he immediately put down the corn.

He said with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean 'won over'? I did nothing! We fell in love mutually and willingly ended up together!"

However, to his surprise, his explanation was met with a chorus of boos.

"Hmph—sounds just like it's true!"

Gu Yu shrugged his shoulders, feeling a bit bored since his attempt to persuade them was unsuccessful, and picked up his corn to continue nibbling!

While eating, he said, "Honestly, I wasn't hiding it from you guys. Didn't I go to the Student Affairs Office last night? I went there to confess to Lin Xinyue! Then she agreed, and just like that, we got together!"

Upon hearing Gu Yu's explanation, the three exchanged glances.

The tone of Gu Yu's voice convinced them he wasn't lying, and indeed, Gu Yu had gone to the Student Affairs Office the previous night, so it was true!

"No way! Just like that? School beauty agreed just like that?"

The three were in disbelief; had Gu Yu really managed to win over Lin Xiaohua by confessing in less than an hour at the Student Affairs Office?

How magical did that sound?

But the fact was indeed so!

The three fell silent, contemplating what they lacked compared to Gu Yu, questioning why Lin Xiaohua would choose Gu Yu as her boyfriend instead of one of them.

Gu Yu was only a bit more handsome, a bit more diligent, and had slightly better grades!

Why! It's so unfair!

After a few inner cries of outrage, they eventually had to admit that Gu Yu had completely outshined them.

Alright! They were convinced!

Yu Laoer and Qin Laosan, who both had girlfriends, didn't feel much, but Boss Pu's mind quickly became active.

He hooked his arm around Gu Yu's shoulder and began to foster a connection:

"Hey, Yu! No, Yu bro! Yu, we're really good brothers, aren't we?"

With that move, Boss Pu almost made Gu Yu choke, but Gu Yu immediately responded:

"Absolutely!! Our dorm's bond is life-deep!"

Gu Yu nodded vigorously, but given the look on Boss Pu's face, he felt there was more to it.

Was Boss Pu planning to...???

"Cough cough, since we're bonded for life, then Brother, my lifetime trust is in your hands!

Can you ask if Lin Xiaohua has any close girlfriends or sisters and get their WeChat or QQ from her for me?! School beauty's friends must be just like her, right?"

Yu Laoer: "...."

Qin Laosan: "...."

Gu Yu: "I knew it! Damn, I knew it was going to be like this!"

Although he had guessed Boss Pu's little scheme, seeing the old man looking lonely like an empty nester, Gu Yu couldn't bring himself to refuse him.

"Alright, alright, I'll ask Xinyue next time I see her!"

"Good! That's what I call a life-deep connection!!"

In dorm 502, Gu Yu's love life had been thoroughly interrogated, and next up were Laoer and Laosan.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinyue, after returning home, took a bath and lay on her bed playing with her phone.

Opening WeChat, Lin Xinyue immediately saw Gu Yu's friend request.

She quickly accepted it, and then looking at Gu Yu's name, she felt something was off. After pondering for a while, she decided to rename him to "Dear Gu".

She also changed the note on QQ to the same name.

After changing the name in her contacts, she rolled over in bed.

She then grabbed her phone to start searching on the Red Book app—A Guide to First-Time Dating!

"Hmm, first time shopping, first time giving flowers, first time dining, first time watching a movie… so many things to do!"

After about half an hour, Lin Xinyue felt overwhelmed, realizing there was so much to do in a relationship!

After thinking it over, she decided it was better to chat with Gu Yu first!

Gu Yu had just finished a soul-searching question session and then heard the drip-drip-drip notification sound from WeChat.

He picked it up and saw that the message was from a contact nicknamed "Star and Moon."

He didn't need to guess, he knew it was Lin Xinyue's WeChat.

After changing her name to Moon in his contacts, Gu Yu began replying to Lin Xinyue's messages.

"Drip-drip-drip, are you free tomorrow morning?!"

Seeing that it was a date request, Gu Yu's lips slightly curved up, and he quickly replied:

"I'm free the whole day tomorrow, Saturday! I'm at your command, beautiful Xinyue!"

Moon: "Then come shopping with me! I need to stock up on some daily necessities!"

Gu Yu: "Alrighty! Your wish is my command!"

Taking advantage of Gu Yu being unguarded while replying to messages, the other roommates crowded around to watch.

"Wow! They've just confirmed their relationship, and they're already dating! I'm so envious!"

"Your wish is my command huh~ Laosi, why have you started sucking up now!"

"Get out of here, is this what you call sucking up? This is called being lovey-dovey!"

Watching them argue endlessly, Gu Yu started to feel sleepy, but he didn't forget to tease before sleeping:

"Ah, it's like an empty nest, the loneliness of an old man guarding an empty nest!"

"Crap! Which part went wrong!"

From Boss Pu's bed came a cry of despair, then silence followed, probably because he had shut himself off.

Not long after, snoring sounds began to fill the room…

Early the next morning, Gu Yu got up early and started grooming himself in front of the mirror.

Being his first love, his heart was filled with the motivation to show his best self!

Looking at his already handsome face in the mirror, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied for some reason.

So he hesitated for a moment, then called up the system.

This time, he directly used ten thousand Check-in Points to exchange for a Perfect Face!

[Ding! Ten thousand Check-in Points have been deducted! Perfect Face successfully exchanged!]

[Perfect Face has been applied, your features will gradually improve to perfection over three months!]

As soon as he used it, Gu Yu noticed several tiny moles on his face, barely visible unless looked at closely, had vanished!

And the slight dark circles from staying up late quickly faded!

Although there weren't any major changes, he overall felt a renewed sense of vitality!

Having done all this, Gu Yu then satisfiedly set off to the student apartments to find Lin Xinyue.

It was only seven thirty, yet Yu and Qin had already left.

Rumor has it they went to buy breakfast for their girlfriends…

Gu Yu shook his head helplessly, at this moment in the dormitory, only he and Boss Pu, who was still sound asleep, were left.

Gu Yu looked at Boss Pu sleeping sprawled out and once again felt the loneliness of an empty-nester!

A beautiful weekend meant only for sleeping, the essence of the holidays was being trampled!

"Ah, I wonder when Boss will break free from being single! I really should scout someone for him! Otherwise, it's too lonely for him to be alone in the dorm every weekend!"

While inwardly lamenting the sad plight of the solitary old Pu, Gu Yu walked out of the dormitory. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
