SYLM Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Gu Wan Jun, Coward.

Chapter 101 Gu Wan Jun, Coward.

It’s Monday today, and Gu Wan Jun has taken a day off.

She doesn’t know if all moving companies are this efficient, but the very next morning, all sorts of unfamiliar luggage and cardboard boxes were moved into her house.

Gu Wan Jun stood to one side, her gaze filled with complex emotions as she watched the movers at work.

Seeing Chen Lu’s belongings being brought into her home one by one, Gu Wan Jun couldn’t describe what she was feeling. The items seemed to be silently declaring Chen Lu’s presence, gradually encroaching on her space and filling the emptiness in her heart.

But is this really right?

This is clearly wrong.

Chen Lu has a girlfriend, how can she move into her house?

How did things turn out this way?

Gu Wan Jun lowered her eyes, feeling a pang of remorse.

Children don’t understand the complicated world of adults. Since learning last night that her favorite Lu Lu-jie was moving in, Duo Duo woke up early this morning, excitedly running around the living room, clapping her little hands, and happily muttering:

“Great! Lu Lu-jie is moving in to live with us! Duo Duo is so happy! We can eat together every day, watch movies, listen to stories, and go to the amusement park on weekends to eat sweet ice cream! Yay! Mommy, Lu Lu-jie is going to live with us, are you happy?”

The words pulled her wandering thoughts back, and looking at her daughter’s innocent smiling face, Gu Wan Jun felt a pang of sadness. She gently ruffled Duo Duo’s hair and forced a smile:

“Mommy is happy.”

“I knew Mommy would be happy, Duo Duo is happy too!”

“Yes, we are all happy.”

Gu Wan Jun said so, but her expressive eyes couldn’t smile at all.

The absurd events of that night were like a thorn, deeply embedded in her heart. She felt extremely guilty and despised herself, but she couldn’t change anything. Now that Chen Lu was moving in, it meant that their relationship would become even more complicated…

But she couldn’t resist.

She knew it was wrong, but she couldn’t refuse Chen Lu.

The thought of being with Chen Lu day and night made Gu Wan Jun condemn and despise her own baseness and shamelessness in her heart, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but desperately look forward to and yearn for such days.

She shouldn’t be like this.

But who wouldn’t want to spend every day with the person they love?

But this was a life she had stolen from Li Sa.

Li Sa is Chen Lu’s girlfriend, and it should be Li Sa who is spending every day with the little girl, living in harmony, not her, a shameful third party.

What to do, what should she do?

On the other side, warm sunlight streamed through the bay window and onto the floor.

In the apartment, Chen Lu urged the movers to load the last few items onto the truck. At this moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. It was a video call from Li Sa.

Chen Lu pressed the answer button, and Li Sa’s strikingly beautiful face immediately appeared on the screen. The background behind her was the airport, obviously preparing to board a plane.

In the video, Li Sa adjusted the Bluetooth headset on her ear and smiled brightly:

“Little Chen Lu, my plane is leaving today, I’m calling to let you know. Contact me if you need anything—tsk, what’s all this clatter? Are you tearing down the house?”

Compared to the airport, Chen Lu’s side seemed to be noisier. The corners of Chen Lu’s originally straight lips involuntarily curved into a smile, and she said in a faint tone:

“Moving.”

“Moving? Is your lease up?”

Chen Lu didn’t speak, just smiled.

Seeing her like this, it was clear that the sun had risen in the west. Li Sa didn’t take the current move seriously and couldn’t help but joke:

“What’s up, smiling like that? Did your teacher, who upholds moral principles, take the initiative to contact you, a person with a girlfriend?”

If Li Sa remembered correctly, the two of them had dinner three days ago, and Gu Wan Jun hadn’t contacted Chen Lu for almost half a month.

The reason was obvious; it was because she, the “official girlfriend,” was still around.

“I’m moving to Gu Wan Jun’s house.”

“Oh, that’s good, you’re mov—what? You said you’re moving where?!”

Coming to her senses, Li Sa’s voice changed in shock, and she almost dropped her phone!

Was she hearing things? It had only been three days since they last met, and these two were going to live together? It couldn’t be this fast, even by rocket!

Li Sa pestered Chen Lu to ask about everything. She wanted to know how Gu Wan Jun could magically revive and make Chen Lu change her mind within three short days, but after asking for a long time, Chen Lu just shook her head with a faint expression.

Li Sa was a smart person. In a flash of inspiration, she seemed to have thought of a possibility, and she asked with some disbelief and unwillingness to believe:

“Baby, don’t tell me it was you who took the initiative…?”

Chen Lu didn’t deny it, just raised her eyebrows slightly, which counted as tacit consent.

Li Sa stared at her for a few seconds, and her tone was certain: “You guys did it.”

“……”

Chen Lu’s originally fair face instantly turned a layer of crimson, and she subconsciously retorted:

“How do you know?”

In the video, Li Sa burst into laughter upon hearing this: “It’s true, you really did it!”

“……”

Her slightly flushed cheeks were now completely red. Chen Lu, who had been tricked into telling the truth, wanted to hang up the phone, but Li Sa’s increasingly unrestrained laughter continued to come from the earpiece:

“Hahaha, you two are too funny, aren’t you just flirting? Huh? Hey, wait, who’s the top in your relationship? It couldn’t be her, could it? Tsk, no, it should be you, right? You’re the top, right? Tsk tsk, that’s right, you’re definitely the top, I trust my judgment, I’m never wrong about who’s the top!”

Li Sa laughed so hard that she coughed, and tears were almost laughing out. Chen Lu helplessly supported her forehead, and her tone instantly turned cold with a hint of warning:

“I’m hanging up if you keep this up.”

“No, no, no! I won’t ask anymore, okay!”

Li Sa quickly stopped laughing and waved her hand, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and putting on a serious face:

“Hey, but seriously, your Gu teacher has given up her most cherished moral principles for you, it’s really rare to love to this extent.”

“……”

Chen Lu’s expression paused for a moment, and a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Sa thought that this person was angry, and she quickly added:

“Hey, I’m just saying, I’m not helping your sweetheart, but I know those kinds of people too well, they are very proud at heart and value dignity above everything else. To be able to do this for you is enough to torment herself. You two are really love-struck people who got together, a match made in heaven!”

“Is that so?” Chen Lu’s voice was very soft, inexplicably carrying a bit of ethereal self-deprecation.

Li Sa noticed her strangeness, her face changed, and she asked, pressing:

“Why ‘is that so’? That’s definitely it, you’ve slept together now, and you’re moving in, so haven’t you reached your goal? Didn’t you say when we had dinner that day that you just wanted to know how much she loved you? It’s already come to this, is it still not enough?”

Chen Lu was silent.

“Tsk, why the long face?” Li Sa pondered this person’s meaning and probed: “Could it be that sleeping together once isn’t enough, and you need to sleep together a few more times?”

“……”

“Speechless” was practically written on her forehead, and Chen Lu couldn’t help but glare at Li Sa.

A reaction was better than no reaction. Li Sa raised her eyebrows and chuckled, seizing the opportunity to ask:

“Enough is enough, who told me that in the first place? She’s already being pretty brave, aren’t you satisfied yet?”

“Brave?” Chen Lu chuckled, her tone somewhat disappointed: “Only brave that one night.”

“Brave that one night?” Li Sa was stunned: “What do you mean?”

Chen Lu briefly told Li Sa about Gu Wan Jun’s attitude after that night, including Gu Wan Jun’s message to her the next day saying that the night was a mistake and that she would try her best to make it up to her.

After listening, Li Sa laughed in anger and couldn’t help but complain:

“I’m impressed, I really overestimated her, she’s a good person, how did she grow a mouth like that!”

“But then again.” Li Sa paused and said directly: “In her eyes, you two were just having a one-night stand. She loves you to that extent, and she can still bear the moral pressure and convince herself to be your one-night stand partner, that’s not easy.”

“……”

Li Sa’s words filled Chen Lu’s heart with indescribable feelings.

How could she not know Gu Wan Jun’s heart? She never wanted to embarrass Gu Wan Jun, but the premise was that Gu Wan Jun couldn’t push her away as soon as something happened.

She had already been abandoned once, and there couldn’t be a second time.

Unable to figure out what Chen Lu was thinking at the moment, but knowing that this person must be feeling bad, Li Sa shrugged and comforted:

“Hey, Little Chen Lu, beauties should be self-aware, you know how popular you are, right? My friends are asking me for your contact information every other day, if it really doesn’t work out, there’s no need to hang yourself on one tree.”

Hearing this, Chen Lu sighed deeply: “It’s too late.”

Li Sa was stunned, puzzled: “What’s too late?”

Chen Lu said faintly: “I’m already tied to Gu Wan Jun’s tree.”

Li Sa: “……”

—-

A few hours later, Chen Lu’s car followed the last moving truck and appeared downstairs at Yunjjiang Century Garden.

After going upstairs, watching the movers going in and out of the door of 1602, Chen Lu walked to the door and looked inside. Gu Wan Jun was standing in the living room, telling the movers where to put which items.

Her slender back was thin, but it gave a particularly reassuring feeling.

Chen Lu took a step back and looked at the house number on the door. She had lived in many places over the years, but those places were only temporary stops for her. From the day she moved in, she knew clearly that one day she would move out.

But this time was different.

Chen Lu’s eyes refocused on Gu Wan Jun’s busy back. Although disagreements, unspoken words, Gu Wan Jun pushing her away like a little turtle, and a series of other problems stood between them, they couldn’t stop Chen Lu from feeling like she was coming home.

Before, wherever her grandmother was, that was Chen Lu’s home. Now, wherever Gu Wan Jun is, Chen Lu feels that this is her home.

Duo Duo, who was standing in the living room watching the adults busy, was the first to see Chen Lu. As soon as she saw Lu Lu-jie, the little girl immediately rushed over, hugged her leg, and shouted excitedly with her little face raised:

“Lu Lu-jie!”

“Duo Duo, we meet again.”

Their conversation was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach the living room. Gu Wan Jun heard and turned around.

When she saw Chen Lu, her calm and beautiful peach blossom eyes clearly flickered. Gu Wan Jun forced a smile, and the tense tone couldn’t hide her nervousness:

“You’re here.”

“Yeah.” Chen Lu responded faintly, her eyes fixed on Gu Wan Jun’s face.

Being stared at by such a direct gaze was obviously a little uncomfortable. Gu Wan Jun quickly shifted her gaze and said softly:

“I’ve cleaned up the bedroom and study. You can tell the movers how to put these things.”

In just a few words, the rhythm of her tone was so chaotic that Chen Lu was afraid Gu Wan Jun would bite her tongue.

Was she that nervous?

Chen Lu pursed her lips and hummed in a cold tone, then let Duo Duo lead her into the house.

Passing through the living room, Chen Lu’s eyes inadvertently swept over the pink tulips on the table. Duo Duo, holding her hand, immediately said excitedly: “Mommy bought these especially to welcome Lu Lu-jie! Does Lu Lu-jie like them?”

“……”

Especially bought for her.

Chen Lu’s heart fluttered and she looked back.

People are always busy when they are embarrassed. As soon as Chen Lu turned her head, Gu Wan Jun immediately looked away and bent down to move a few boxes around, but they didn’t change their position much after moving them for a long time.

Gu Wan Jun, coward.

Chen Lu pursed her lips, turned her head back, and looked at the little face that was extremely similar to someone’s features. She squatted down and gently scratched the little girl’s nose, her eyes filled with tenderness that was about to overflow:

“I like them, Jie Jie especially likes them.”

Duo Duo clapped her hands happily, her eyes so full of smiles that they disappeared: “Great, I can see Mommy and Lu Lu-jie every day after school!”

Chen Lu smiled and rubbed her hair: “Happy?”

Duo Duo nodded vigorously: “Especially happy.”

“Lu Lu-jie is also especially happy.”

After saying that, Chen Lu turned sideways, and her gaze inadvertently swept over Gu Wan Jun again. Sure enough, that person was pretending to be busy moving boxes, but her eyes were secretly glancing at herself from time to time.

Their eyes met in the air, and the box in Gu Wan Jun’s hand almost slipped. The sudden eye contact made her head heat up, and the words in her heart stumbled out: “I…I’m also especially happy…”

“……”

As soon as the words came out, Gu Wan Jun immediately realized what she had said. Her entire face instantly burned red to the roots of her ears. She quickly lowered her head to avoid Chen Lu’s meaningful gaze and continued to move the boxes that didn’t need to be moved at all.

Oh god…what did she just say…
