Chapter 139: 138
The next morning, at 6:30 a.m.,
Gu Yu, with dark circles under his eyes, looked helplessly at the small white foot perched on his head.
He had almost stayed up all night!
With a beauty by his side, he had forced himself to stay awake until 3:30 a.m., but eventually couldn't resist and fell into a drowsy sleep.
But before ten minutes had passed, a cold foot suddenly kicked into his embrace, startling him so much that he nearly flung Lin Xinyue off the bed.
Luckily, he quickly remembered she was his girlfriend, and thus avoided a "major disaster."
He had long heard that girls' limbs get icy when they sleep, and sure enough, it was true!
So, he didn't take it to heart; he even gently used his arm to warm Lin Xinyue's foot.
But this was just the beginning of the nightmare!
Although Lin Xinyue didn't snore, she liked to move around in her sleep because she was cold.
With Gu Yu, a natural heater, by her side, she unconsciously kept leaning towards him.
Once her foot was warm from being nestled by Gu Yu, she would kick off the blankets.
If Gu Yu arranged the blankets but didn't keep her warm, she would feel cold again, continually stretching her feet back into Gu Yu's embrace.
In this cycle, she finally found the most comfortable position.
That was to drape her foot over Gu Yu, which kept her neither too cold nor too hot!
So now, the scene unfolded with her sprawling in a big "spread-eagle" position with her left foot directly on top of Gu Yu's head.
Gu Yu thought to himself, I can't resist her, but surely I can dodge her, right?
He shifted his body a bit to the side, but the sleeping Lin Xinyue, sharply sensing the loss of her natural little heater, immediately followed him.
In the end, she ended up hugging Gu Yu's leg, pinning him down!
That's why Gu Yu remained in that position for a full three hours, until daylight broke without falling back asleep!
As daylight brightened, Gu Yu couldn't endure it any longer. His eyelids finally gave in, and he moved the foot from his head into his arms and hugged it tight before he too fell into a deep sleep.
An hour later, a knock suddenly sounded. Lin Xinyue woke up, groggy, and sat up.
"Who is it?"
"Yu, Yue, it's time to get up for breakfast!"
"Oh~ okay~"
She responded, half-squinting, just about to take off her shirt pajamas to change into her own clothes.
But she found that she couldn't move her lower body, as if it were tied up with rope.
"Ah!"
With a forceful kick, a scream followed, and Gu Yu fell off the bed, clutching his head and getting up bewildered.
"..."
Lin Xinyue's shirt pajamas were already unbuttoned halfway, one hand still in the midst of stripping, as she foolishly locked eyes with Gu Yu.
Darn! She had totally forgotten that Gu Yu had slept with her last night!
Immediately, she ignored her scantily clad state and hurried to the bedside to check on Gu Yu.
"I'm sorry! Yu, are you hurt!?"
Lin Xinyue leaned forward, gently rubbing Gu Yu's forehead.
Every move she made left nothing to the imagination, and Gu Yu felt all his pain vanish in that moment.
"I wasn't hurt before, but now I think I've sustained a serious injury..."
Gu Yu, gazing at the white expanse before him, said with a straight face.
It was then that Lin Xinyue realized she had exposed too much and quickly retreated, wrapping herself in a blanket.
"You're supposed to be concerned about whether I'm hurt, not focus on that!"
She rolled her eyes at Gu Yu.
Concern can cloud judgment!
Thinking about it, she felt silly. The floor was covered with a soft carpet; with Gu Yu's physique, it was unlikely he'd be hurt so easily from a fall!
All of this had been seen!
Her face blushed all the way to her neck.
Gu Yu got up, and only then did he realize he was just in his boxers!
But he wasn't as bothered, instead seizing the opportunity to tease Lin Xinyue, "Here! I'm not taking advantage of you, I'll let you look too!"
Saying this, he confidently patted his solid abs, making a slapping sound.
"Pah, are the two comparable? Get your clothes on! You go freshen up first, I need to get dressed too!"
"Mrs. Jin came by earlier to call me for breakfast, hurry up!"
Lin Xinyue glanced sideways at him, her face red as she muttered softly.
"How are they different? It's equality between men and women now! I saw you, you saw me, we're even!"
Gu Yu, shirtless, shrugged his shoulders, attempting to rationalize.
A pillow flew towards him, which he caught out of thin air.
Lin Xinyue had already dived back under the covers, only her eyes visible, glaring at him.
Gu Yu, too tired to tease anymore, quickly dressed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Halfway there, he took the opportunity to peek back into the room, where Lin Xinyue was getting into her undershirt, revealing her contoured figure unabashedly.
"Gu—Yu—! Big! Pervert!"
Lin Xinyue was about to lose her mind.
"Hehe, my partner has a really nice figure."
Gu Yu quickly retracted his neck, smirking proudly.
By the time both were dressed and had cleaned up, it was already fifteen minutes later.
They hadn't even reached the door.
They heard a series of footsteps running away from outside the door.
Well, everyone was eavesdropping, huh!
Gu Yu rolled up his sleeves, pulled the door open, and saw four or five people standing not far away looking at him.
Qin Shan greeted him in a mock formal tone, "Morning, Laosi!"
Boss Pu and Yu Laoer also pretended to yawn as if they hadn't been eavesdropping at all.
Only Chen Chuyin stood with hands on her hips, visibly upset, glaring at him.
She was the only one who hadn't run away after eavesdropping.
"Uh, good morning, little sister Chuyin!"
Gu Yu smiled at her, puzzled by her huffy demeanor, not understanding where he had offended her this time.
Chen Chuyin turned her head away, ignoring Gu Yu.
But when she saw Lin Xinyue behind Gu Yu, her eyes lit up and her angry expression immediately turned into a smile.
"Little! Lin! Jar! Good morning!"
She walked over and grabbed Lin Xinyue's hand.
"Morning, little sister Chuyin!"
Lin Xinyue ruffled her hair, giving her a warm greeting.
"Morning, morning, morning!"
Having her head ruffled by Lin Xinyue, Chen Chuyin didn't get angry but instead looked very happy and enjoyed it.
"Gu Yu didn't bully you last night, did he? I just heard you yelling about some big pervert!"
Chen Chuyin clenched her little fists, standing between Lin Xinyue and Gu Yu, as if she were ready to stand up for her Little Lin.
Boss Pu and the others also pricked up their ears; after all, Laosi had spent the night alone with Lin Xinyue!
And coupled with the suggestive "big pervert" that came from their room this morning.
Everyone was convinced something had definitely happened between the two!
"Laosi has got it figured out!"
"Wuwuwu, has Laosi finally lost his virginity after twenty-one years?"
"As a father, I shed tears of emotion!"
The few of them whispered among themselves, completely looking like overly concerned fathers.
"No way! Your brother Gu Yu is really nice to me, how could he bear to bully me!"
Lin Xinyue laughed and shook her head, openly answering them.
Standing to the side, Gu Yu grinned, thinking it was a bit much for this little sister to meddle!
This was his girlfriend!
Could taking advantage of his girlfriend be considered bullying? That's called fostering affection!
"Hmph! If you dare bully Little Lin, I'll beat you up!"
Chen Chuyin pouted, clenching her little fists and warning Gu Yu.
"Tssk, little brat who can't even take a punch from me."
Gu Yu dismissed her threat disdainfully.
"Don't underestimate me, I am a second-degree black belt assistant instructor in Taekwondo!"
Seeing Gu Yu's indifferent attitude, Chen Chuyin grew even angrier, seemingly ready to challenge Gu Yu one-on-one.
"Pfft, little brat."
Gu Yu glanced at her.
Chen Chuyin was close to going mad, she couldn't believe this handsome guy, who looked like he couldn't withstand a single blow, was looking down on her!
"You guys..."
Lin Xinyue felt embarrassed; were these two really competing out of jealousy?
However, it was her first time seeing Gu Yu get jealous, and it was pretty amusing; she hadn't expected that Gu Yu would even get jealous over a kid.
"Come down for breakfast!"
Just as the "smoke of battle" between the two was starting to rise, Mrs. Jin's voice came from downstairs.
"Hmph! It's time for breakfast! We'll continue this later! I will definitely knock you down! Let's show Little Lin who the real woman is!"
Hearing her mom's voice, Chen Chuyin withdrew her fists and temporarily declared a truce.
"No need to fight anymore... I concede, you are the real woman..."
Gu Yu was rather annoyed with this chuunibyou girl, but her statement made him burst into laughter.
Chen Chuyin was essentially still just a kid!
Why was he even bothering to argue with a kid!
"Heehee! Little Lin, he admits defeat! Let's go, let's go eat breakfast!"
Chen Chuyin immediately beamed with joy and pulled Lin Xinyue downstairs.

Lately, I've been writing more about daily life, not sure if you all can accept it; if not, I'll speed up the plot later.
