Chapter 524: 524 Afraid of Aging and Losing Your Love (Extra Update)

Gu Yingzhou took several long strides forward.

His left hand steadied the front of the bicycle while his right arm gently lifted the young girl from the seat and placed her securely on the front beam.

"I couldn’t stop worrying about you," so he came to check on her.

The man swung his long legs over and sat on the bicycle.

Lin Tang knew he must have run over and felt a sour and tingling sensation in her heart.

She wrapped her arms around the man’s waist without saying a word.

Gu Yingzhou noticed the girl’s off mood and gently rubbed the top of her hair with his hand.

"What’s wrong?"

Lin Tang’s voice buzzed, "I’m sorry."

It was she who wanted to exercise, and she who lost track of time.

And because of her, her significant other had to run back and forth late at night.

Gu Yingzhou wrapped one arm around her shoulder, and upon realizing the problem, laughed softly.

That voice was husky and low.

In the night, it carried a hint of seduction.

"Silly girl."

"It’s normal for a technician to forget things; you don’t need to feel guilty."

"My young girl is working hard and striving to realize her own value; I couldn’t be happier."

"Besides, I came to pick you up because I was worried. You don’t need to feel burdened, I exercise every day anyway; this distance is nothing to me."

He explained one by one, his gentleness causing her heart to tremble.

Lin Tang felt consoled but still couldn’t help feeling a bit remorseful, saying, "I won’t forget again."

Thinking that this promise might actually benefit the young girl if she took it to heart, Gu Yingzhou just held her, remaining silent.

He knew better than anyone how demanding a technician’s work could be.

Working all hours was the norm.

"It looks like your loom has been successfully trial-made?" Gu Yingzhou, not wanting Tangtang to stay upset, subtly shifted her attention.

Indeed, as soon as he mentioned it, Lin Tang’s energy perked up.

She lifted her eyes, her pupils shining brighter than the stars in the night sky.

"Right, it was a success. We tested it, and it worked very well."

It was perfect for slapping the face of those who were living too comfortably.

After saying that, Lin Tang recalled an idea that came to her that day and said, "I have a new idea, you know about the spinning frame, right?"

Gu Yingzhou nodded, "I know, you want to study the spinning frame?"

Lin Tang hummed in confirmation, "I am thinking about it."

She was so engrossed that afternoon drawing the design for the spinning frame.

"That’s a good idea, I’ll find you some books on this when I have time," Gu Yingzhou said with unconditional support for the young girl.

Lin Tang realized that he had never refused anything she wanted to do; he always did his best to help her.

"Okay, thank you."

Having discussed serious matters, they fell silent.

Accompanied by the sounds of frogs and cicadas, the moment was comfortable and idyllic.

It was Lin Tang’s first time sitting on the front beam, and when she looked up, she saw the man’s firm and superior jawline.

Feeling her gaze, Gu Yingzhou looked down at her, his eyes brimming with a smiling expression.

"What are you looking at?" he asked softly.

Lin Tang curved her eyes in a smile, "Looking at you, seeing how handsome my man is."

Gu Yingzhou: "..."

He should thank his parents for bestowing him such a handsome face.

Having been together for so long, he certainly knew some of the young girl’s preferences, such as her love for good-looking things like umbrellas, water bottles...

Of course, that applied to people as well.

He noticed that among the four young members of the Lin family, Tangtang seemed to enjoy teasing Little Zhixuan the most.

Gu Yingzhou’s gaze flickered with world-weariness for a moment.

Just to keep the young girl interested, he too had to take good care of his face.

He remembered his father saying that his mother had pursued him doggedly, attracted by his handsome face.

Was he also bound to this ’curse’?

The essence of the world is cyclical.

Gu Yingzhou sighed heavily.

Lin Tang looked up in surprise, "Why the sudden sigh?"

"Afraid you might dislike me when I get old and lose my looks," he said in a low, slightly grudging tone.

Lin Tang rubbed her ears, feeling like she was hallucinating.

She couldn’t have heard wrong, could she?!

What in the world?

"...Are you okay?" Lin Tang said, finding her partner acting strangely as if he were possessed.

Gu Yingzhou felt a bit embarrassed by her ghost-seeing expression.

Forming a fist, he coughed softly into his fist and spoke, "I’m fine."

The bicycle moved forward, casting a long shadow behind them.

After a while, the bicycle stopped.

In a secluded spot, Lin Tang suddenly said something, "My affection for you started with your looks, deepened because of your talent, and remained owing to your character."

She wasn’t love-struck; she knew exactly what she wanted.

If Gu Yingzhou was good-looking but had questionable morals, she wouldn’t have let herself fall deeper.

Having seen the glitz of later societies and a plethora of scumbag fighter jets constantly lowering the bar, she wouldn’t allow so-called love to cloud her reasoning.

Good love was a catalyst; the opposite was like a fly in the ointment.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough.

Having spoken, Lin Tang turned around, opened the courtyard gate, and went inside.

She was famished.

Upon hearing that sentence, Gu Yingzhou’s eyes sparkled, his brows lifted slightly, and a subtle smile played at the corners of his mouth.

Wherever did the young girl learn these things from, he mused...

The weather was hot, so leaving the food out for a while wasn’t a problem.

After dinner, they sat in the courtyard discussing the feasibility of the spinning frame.

Time quietly slipped by unnoticed.

When they came back to their senses, it was already past nine o’clock.

Gu Yingzhou checked the time and suddenly stopped.

"It’s getting late, you should rest."

Lin Tang was in the midst of an absorbing discussion, she checked her wrist and indeed it was late, her face showing a hint of reluctance.

So soon...

The thrill of exchanging ideas was so great she could barely feel time flying by.

She wished she could talk with Gu Yingzhou all night long, but unfortunately, she couldn’t.

Lin Tang curbed her reluctance and said with a smile, "It is indeed late, be careful on your way."

Gu Yingzhou responded, about to turn to leave when he paused as if reminded of something.

"You’ve got a lot on your plate; let’s move your exercise schedule around. How about we change it to Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons?

Any issues with that? If not, let’s stick to this schedule."

Lin Tang readily agreed, "Sure, I promise I won’t forget again."

Then she added, quite unexpectedly, "I thought you might suggest giving up on the exercise altogether."

Turns out she had thought too much.

Gu Yingzhou gave her a long look and said deliberately, "Working in the Technology Department requires a strong physique as a basic necessity."

After this explanation, he waved casually.

"I’m off, get some rest early."

Lin Tang watched as Gu Yingzhou left, locked the door, and after a quick wash up and a face mask, finally went to bed a little past ten o’clock.

-

The busy days flew by quickly, and in no time, they had reached the tail end of October.

Lin Tang, thanks to her sharp mind, found herself busier than ever in the Technology Department, thoroughly enjoying the hectic pace.

One day, as she returned home from work.

Before reaching her house, she saw from afar someone sitting at the entrance.

Upon closer inspection, it was Mrs. Yang from the brigade.

The elderly lady sat on the ground with disheveled hair and her head down, unmoving for a long time as if she were a stone sculpture.

Lin Tang paused in shock and hurried over.

As she helped the old woman up, she asked, "Mrs. Yang, what are you doing here? Where is Uncle Heping?"
