Chapter 561: Don’t Back Out, Go Ahead First
Yu Zhongjing laughed coldly. “Who can they blame? They brought it upon themselves.”
Yu Mufeng raised his eyebrow.
“Right,” Yu Zhongjing looked at him. “Where is Little Si?”
“Red Flame.”
When Yu Zhongjing heard those two words, his feelings became complicated. He uttered an ‘oh’ calmly. There was silence for a few seconds.
Yu Zhongjing suddenly thought of something. “Capital University is reopening soon. Aren’t you the president of the Student Union?”
Yu Mufeng glanced at him as if he were surprised that he actually knew that. He recalled the last time his dad attended his parent-teacher meeting during primary school year one.
His father ran to the Year 5 section of the primary school just to find out that he was not in Year 5. He couldn’t remember which year his own son was in so he just returned home. The next day, Yu Mufeng was ‘awarded’ by being made to stand under the national flag to reflect on his mistakes.
Those were bad memories.
“Mmh.” He made a sound casually. “Don’t worry, leave Grandmaster to me.”
Yu Zhongjing nodded. “In a fight, don’t back out. Face them head on and don’t let the big boss injure her hand.”
Yu Mufeng was silent.
His own father.
It felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest.

Lu Chengzhou came out of the bathroom after his shower. The balcony door was wide open and the night breeze blew at the curtains.
Gu Mang wore an oversized set of pajamas and was leaning against the balcony railing. She rested her pale arms on the railing and held her phone in hand. There was a half-burned cigarette in her mouth, the end glowing scarlet. She looked really relaxed and casual.
It was as if she had sensed Lu Chengzhou looking at him. She looked over and stared at him for a few seconds. Then, she looked down and continued tapping on her screen.
Her movements were really slow and relaxed.
“Big boss, where did you hide Gu Si? Even Huo Zhi can’t find him.” Jiangsui typed.
“You don’t have to know. Any news about Jijing Island?” Gu Mang asked back.
Just then, a cup of water appeared in front of her face. The fingers holding the cup were long and clean. They looked rather nice.
She lifted her gaze and saw Lu Chengzhou standing across from her. His short hair was half dry and they covered half of his face slightly. His jawline was really well defined.
Just then, her phone vibrated and Gu Mang looked down at the screen.
“We’ve been checking for a year and there’s no advancement. We have used all possible channels but there is too little information about you in Jijing Island. Uncle Gu was simply not in the records,” Jiangsu replied.
“Continue searching,” Gu Mang typed in response.
When she sent out the message, she took the cup from Lu Chengzhou and drank from it. The phone vibrated again.
“Alright.” A few seconds later another text arrived from Jiangsui. “There is another thing. I would like to arrange a meeting for you and the other four ‘gods’ of the Alliance. What do you think, big boss?”
What’s the meeting for?
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow slightly. “We’ll see.”
Lu Chengzhou held her wrist casually and pointed his chin into the bedroom. “Let’s go in.”
Gu Mang nodded. Both of them walked in.
Lu Chengzhou rubbed her wrist bones with his fingers, “I have purchased an apartment for you near Capital University and I will move over to stay with you when school starts.”
There were fewer restrictions on students at universities and there were no laws for them to stay in school.
Gu Mang turned to look at him as if she had something to say.
Lu Chengzhou understood. “Do you intend to stay in the dorms?”
“Ah,” Gu Mang answered. “Convenient.”
Lu Chengzhou let her sit on the bed and he squatted in front of her. He wrapped his palms against her hands and placed them under his chin. Then, he looked up at her.
When faced with his dark and deep eyes, Gu Mang’s voice became a little bit dry for no apparent reason. Her composure had been flimsy recently.
Lu Chengzhou lowered his voice. “Must you stay in a dorm?”
Gu Mang said nothing.
Lu Chengzhou sighed. “Fine, I’ll leave the apartment as a backup.”
Gu Mang laughed softly and there was a smile in her eyes. She lowered herself to kiss him. “I’ll use it for cheating in the future.”
Lu Chengzhou glared at her with a rather serious look and emphasized word for word, “We are a couple. There is no need to use the word ‘cheat’.”
“Oh.” Gu Mang giggled.
