Chapter 434: 434 He looks at her expression, it’s like this

Just then, Chen Feng’s uncle approached Lin Tang.

"Comrade Lin, regarding today’s incident, we have some questions that need clarification."

To avoid making the young comrade anxious, he added an explanation, "Don’t worry, it’s just to ask about the situation. The other two female comrades have already been questioned."

Lin Tang nodded, "Alright."

Seeing that it was getting late, she looked at Gu Yingzhou and said, "It’s getting late. Why don’t you go back first? You have to get up early tomorrow."

Gu Yingzhou shook his head, his tone leaving no room for refusal, "I’ll accompany you."

He couldn’t rest easy without personally seeing the young lady back to her room.

Looking at Gu Yingzhou’s eyes, filled with determination, Lin Tang felt a warmth and helplessness inside her.

"...Okay then."

The group made their way to the lounge on the first floor of the Guest House.

There were already two police officers waiting there.

Actually, there wasn’t much to say; Sister Guo had been conscious throughout the whole incident, and she had already said everything that needed to be said.

There was really nothing to question, so Lin Tang’s written statement was finished very quickly.

After the police officers left, Gu Yingzhou escorted Lin Tang to her room.

Before leaving, he still couldn’t help but say with concern, "Tangtang, why don’t you come and stay at my house? My grandparents both like you, and we have plenty of spare rooms; one extra room for you to stay in won’t be an issue."

This Guest House... he felt ’drafts’ everywhere.

Lin Tang tugged at Gu Yingzhou’s hand, smiling, "It’s okay, the Guest House is thoroughly guarded by the police comrades. Don’t worry."

She was courageous and unafraid.

The startled one was Qingqing; she couldn’t possibly leave Qingqing alone and move into the Ruan family’s home by herself.

Gu Yingzhou had known that the young lady wouldn’t agree.

His expression was resigned, "...Alright then, just be careful."

"Mm."

After watching Lin Tang enter her room, Gu Yingzhou spoke a few words to the Guest House staff and then headed home under the moonlight.

Both the elder Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan, anticipating their grandson’s timely return, were waiting in the hall, alongside Xiuying.

Hearing a sound, all three hurried out.

Mrs. Ruan went up to Gu Yingzhou, touching his arms and legs to ensure he was intact, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Yingzhou, why are you only getting back now? Did something happen? Have you eaten?"

Gu Yingzhou, resigned, supported his grandmother.

He explained, "I’ve eaten. There was an incident at the Guest House, which delayed me for a while."

Mr. Ruan felt there was something off about his grandson returning at this hour.

He quickly asked, "What happened?"

His eyes sharp, he had a look that said you can’t fool me.

Gu Yingzhou paused, pinched the bridge of his nose, and recounted the events.

Mrs. Ruan turned pale as she heard him speak.

Regaining her composure, she slapped her grandson’s arm.

"With armed bandits appearing at the Guest House, how could you not think to ask Tangtang to stay at our place?"

The old lady had an expression of exasperation.

"I was always curious what people meant by a ’blockhead.’ Seeing you, I understand now. You’re a blockhead indeed."

Mrs. Ruan thumped her chest in frustration, trying to quell the feeling of suffocation.

"With the Guest House being so dangerous, how can you be at ease?!"

Mr. Ruan’s expression was one of disdain, and his words more so, "In this, you’re not like me. You take after your overly serious grandfather."

Gu Yingzhou: "..."

Gu Yingzhou pursed his lips and looked at Aunt Xiuying.

Seeing that she also disapproved, he felt utterly stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Feeling he could still salvage the situation, Gu Yingzhou explained expressionlessly, "Tangtang is worried about her friend."

"...I’m coming back to pack some things. I’ll be staying at the Guest House for the next few days."

The faces of the Ruan elders stiffened.

...Really now?

Heh.

Realizing their overreaction, Mrs. Ruan let out a gentle smile and said, "...A man should indeed stand by his responsibilities."

"Go on then!"

"And when you have time, bring Tangtang back to visit."

Mr. Ruan waved his hand, "Hurry up and pack, your grandmother and I are going to bed."

Gu Yingzhou had already come to terms with the harsh truth of his plummeting status in the family.

He sauntered back to his room, packed a few pieces of clothing at random, and cycled to the Guest House.

Due to the incident, some well-connected people, feeling uneasy, had checked out of their rooms.

Suddenly, there were a few empty rooms in what had been a fully booked Guest House.

Gu Yingzhou had reserved a room in advance and even asked the staff to keep the door for him.

Upon his arrival, after securing his bicycle, he smoothly entered his room.

-

The next morning, bright and early.

As soon as Lin Tang stepped out of her room, she saw Gu Yingzhou at the door.

"Eh? How did you get here?" she asked, eyes brimming with surprise.

Gu Yingzhou smiled as he handed over the breakfast he had bought. "...I stayed at the Guest House last night."

He couldn’t hide the truth, so he spoke honestly.

"Ah?" Lin Tang was astonished.

She was silent for a moment, touched, "...Thank you for your effort."

"It’s no trouble, that’s what I should do," Gu Yingzhou replied, his gaze tender as he rubbed the young lady’s head.

Seeing that she looked well-rested, he felt relieved.

Once the conversation was over, he remembered the photos he had not given her the night before and pulled them out of his pocket to hand over.

"I got the photos back, I forgot to give them to you last night, take a look."

Lin Tang’s eyes lit up; she casually hung the breakfast on the doorknob and took them.

The first thing she saw was the photo of her making a little gesture.

In the photo, the man looked at the little lady beside him with eyes full of indulgent smiles, paying her exclusive attention.

Lin Tang was briefly taken aback by the photo.

So... this was how Zhouzhou looked at her usually.

Her heart thumped uncontrollably.

"...It’s beautiful," Lin Tang admired.

Gu Yingzhou, initially a bit embarrassed, saw her eyes sparkling with smiles and suppressed his own discomfort.

"As long as you like it."

He then changed the subject seriously, "Have a little bite to eat first. I’m off to the conference, and you be careful with everything."

The ordeal from the day before had frightened him enough. He wished he could keep the little lady in his arms at all times for peace of mind.

Lin Tang was unaware of the man’s thoughts.

She obediently nodded and waved her hand, "Off you go then."

Gu Yingzhou grinned, patted her forehead, and left.

As Lin Tang watched the figure she admired disappear, she turned and entered her room.

Qin Suqing had just finished washing up and was now tying her hair into a braid.

She had faintly heard some noises outside. Seeing Tangtang return to the room, she teased, "Was that Comrade Gu? It must be nice to have someone bring you breakfast."

Lin Tang quirked an eyebrow, her voice carrying a hint of melancholy, "I take it you don’t want to eat then..."

Without another word, she took out a bun to eat.

Qin Suqing wouldn’t let her taste buds suffer. She tugged at Lin Tang’s sleeve, begging, "...I want to eat, I want to eat, I’ll eat."

Lin Tang laughed helplessly and handed her a bun.

"Eat up quickly, then I’ll apply some ointment for you."

Qin Suqing took a bite of the meat bun, eyes narrowing happily.

Touching the healing scab on her forehead, she said, "Do I need it? It’s almost healed."

The cut on her head had been fairly deep and should have scarred. However, after using the ointment made by Tangtang, by morning, only a faint mark remained.
