Chapter 610... guarding against Tangtang taking advantage of Yingzhou.

Chapter 610: 610... guarding against Tangtang taking advantage of Yingzhou.

Upon entering the house, the bench was long and soft, capable of seating several people, inviting one to sit down repeatedly.

Next to it was a wooden table that also appeared out of the ordinary, exuding an understated luxury.

Along the wall was a particularly large bookshelf, crammed full of books.

Lin Qingshan gave it a cursory glance and realized he couldn’t even make out the titles.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t read, but that even when looking at them together, he couldn’t find a focal point.

Lin Qingshan looked for a while, then, rather than embarrass himself further, sat quietly to the side and drank tea.

Hmm, the tea at his future brother-in-law’s house was quite good.

Lin Tang went up and opened the lunch box, saying, "The food should still be hot, you’d better eat now, otherwise it will need warming."

The food, warmed by Xiuli in the kitchen, was still quite warm when it was brought over.

Gu Yingzhou glanced at the dishes and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "Auntie Li has gone to quite some trouble."

Lin Qingshan swallowed his tea with a look of enjoyment and chimed in, "There’s no need to be polite, my mother even said you should come over to eat at Tangtang’s place for the next few days."

In his mother’s eyes, the future son-in-law ranked ahead of her own sons.

Not only Qingmu, but also his and Qingshui’s status in the family had taken a clear drop.

Gu Yingzhou took the invitation without pretense, saying, "All right, I’ll come over tomorrow."

Having said that, he began to eat.

Seeing Gu Yingzhou treat him as one of the family and being open and frank, Lin Qingshan’s impression of him improved even more.

Since it was still early, Lin Tang didn’t want her boyfriend to eat alone, so she stayed for a while with her brother.

Lin Tang picked a book and nestled in the sofa, while Zhouzhou’s cat, unafraid of strangers, jumped onto her lap and meowed softly, lying there obediently.

Lin Qingshan caught this scene and his gaze flickered slightly.

...They really needed to get engaged soon.

Otherwise, he’d constantly worry about having an extra grown nephew.

Gu Yingzhou caught the subtle expression on his future brother-in-law’s face and shook his head with a smile.

He just wanted to say one thing, "You’re overthinking it!"

Today was Tangtang’s second time here and nothing had happened.

Nor would he do anything harmful to a young girl.

After all, Tangtang was young, and he was an adult man.

"Big brother, there’s a radio over there, you can listen to the radio to pass the time," Gu Yingzhou said, extending his long-fingered hand, pointing toward the radio next to the bookshelf.

Lin Qingshan was quite comfortable with this term "big brother," his expression unchanging.

It’s just that he drank his tea in a hurry and choked a bit.

"I got it, you go ahead and eat your meal."

He stood up, walked over to the bookshelf, and picked up the radio.

Lin Tang, hearing their conversation, suddenly remembered the portable radio she had given to Gu Yingzhou.

Seeing that he had almost finished eating, she got up from the sofa and walked over.

"Zhouzhou, why haven’t I seen you use the radio I gave you? Don’t you like it?" she asked.

She pondered while stroking her chin, "If you don’t like it, shall I get you something else?"

When gifting, one must surely give something the recipient likes.

There’s no point in giving something disliked; better not to give at all.

Gu Yingzhou, who was tidying up the lunch box, suddenly paused upon hearing this.

He said with a helpless smile, "Why would you think I don’t like it?"

The young man shook his head earnestly, "I like whatever you give me."

"As for why I don’t use it often? You’ve got it wrong again, I use it every day at home."

Gu Yingzhou gently pinched Lin Tang’s nose, his voice tender, "Do you have so little confidence in your boyfriend, to think that..."

Lin Tang took his hand down and clasped it in hers, her smiling lips as if coated with honey.

"I just haven’t seen you carry it with you," she explained.

Gu Yingzhou’s laughter was deep and smooth, "There’s another reason you haven’t seen it—I’m afraid of damaging it, and can’t bear to."

That actually made a lot of sense.

Lin Tang looked at the watch on her wrist, her face serious, and was just about to say that she should also keep the watch safe when the man stopped her.

"Watches are for checking the time. If you leave it at home, it’ll just turn to scrap metal after a while. You should wear it," Gu Yingzhou insisted.

Lin Tang had indeed never considered truly keeping it safe.

She nodded with a look of having learned a lesson, which made Gu Yingzhou’s smile even more gentle and doting.

This little niece sure was cheeky!

Lin Qingshan sneaked over, looking at his sister clinging to Gu Yingzhou’s hand without letting go for a long while.

A metaphorical black line appeared on his forehead.

"Tangtang, enough is enough, I’m still here,"

he said, staring dead at her hand, his eyes screaming: Let go! Let go! Let go!

As if electrocuted, Lin Tang’s hand jerked away quickly.

"Ahem, I forgot for a moment."

That was actually true. She didn’t usually have such bad manners while eating, well, except when she was drunk.

Lin Qingshan didn’t believe a word of it.

His mother had mentioned in passing, about how Tangtang was hugging and nibbling on Yingzhou without any reserve.

Today he had seen it with his own eyes.

They weren’t even engaged yet, and he needed to be on guard lest his sister took too much advantage of Yingzhou.

What if it scared him off?!

"Alright, it’s getting late. We should head back now,"

said Lin Tang, facing her brother’s disbelieving and wary gaze, tugging awkwardly at the corner of her mouth.

If he didn’t believe it, so be it.

"Let’s go!" she replied.

Waving to Gu Yingzhou, the siblings headed back.

At the entrance, Gu Yingzhou watched the two of them drive away, remembering the young girl’s resentful and indignant expression, a smile brimming in his eyes.

Tangtang was wronged, he would have to think about how to console her...

Just as he turned to enter the house, Jiu Wei ran over in a frantic state.

"Boss, there’s been an accident at the factory!"

Gu Yingzhou’s expression became grave, he quickly locked the door and hurried towards the Machinery Factory.

While walking, he asked, "What happened?"

Under the dim streetlamp, he finally saw Jiu Wei’s condition clearly.

His face was covered in smudge as if he had crawled through soot.

His clothes were tattered, with signs of having been burned.

His right arm was wrapped in white cloth, bleeding, and he staggered as he walked.

Gu Yingzhou supported Jiu Wei, his sharp eyes narrowing with concern, "How are your injuries?"

Jiu Wei shook his head, "It’s nothing. Don’t worry about me for now; the factory issue is more important."

His injury was nothing compared to the urgent matters at the factory.

Gu Yingzhou’s voice was firm, "Your injury is important too. Give me a minute."

After saying so, he helped Jiu Wei sit down, turned around, took a running start, leapt and climbed over the high wall, flipping into his own courtyard.

Jiu Wei was dumbfounded, any sentiment he felt was quickly punctured.

"Ah! As expected of the boss, always taking the unconventional path."

Gu Yingzhou quickly gathered some of the medicine Tangtang had given him and vaulted back over the wall, appearing before Jui Wei.

Not a second more, not a second less, it was exactly one minute.

He handed a pill to Jui Wei, saying flatly, "Take it."

No explanation given.

Jui Wei took it, threw it in his mouth, and even chewed it a couple of times.

"Boss, what’s this? It’s quite tasty,"

said Jui Wei.

A trace of softness flickered in Gu Yingzhou’s cool gaze.

"It’s for replenishing blood. Let’s go,"

he said as their voices faded, and the two figures disappeared into the night.

When Mu Sheng regained consciousness, he didn’t know how much time had passed.

Thinking back to the moments before he lost consciousness, he bolted upright.

Looking around, he was in a damp and dark cave.

The cave wasn’t large.

At the entrance hung a skull emitting a chilly white glow.

On the ground around him were unidentifiable bones.

A chill crept over him, unnerving and cold.
