Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Zhiyuan meticulously removed every strand of corn. If his emotions were genuine, why were his feelings considered false? His self-awareness underwent constant reconstruction, just like his emotions. If they were fake from the beginning, how could he be certain they would remain that way for the rest of his life?

“Lu Zhiyuan, self-cognition reconstruction is based on the premise of recovery. If you lose your emotions, they naturally become blank,” Gu Ci remarked as she took his corn, broke it, and split it in half. “Life is akin to a play, but a play is not life.”

While nonchalantly eating his corn, Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Why did you suddenly bring up emotional disorders?”

“I’ve been contemplating what major to choose,” Gu Ci inquired. “How about psychology?”

“Not really. I’m not particularly fond of psychiatrists,” Lu Zhiyuan replied lightly.

“I don’t care about your preferences!” Gu Ci stood up and poured a glass of celery and cherry juice.

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t pester her about her chosen field of study. “My team and I are flying to Lavis. The race is about to begin. We’re leaving tomorrow.” “So suddenly?” Gu Ci asked. “Weren’t we supposed to leave in three days?” “Li Jiang has already booked the tickets.”

“I want to go too!” Gu Ci exclaimed. “Save two seats for us.”

“Are you really going to watch my competition?”

“Of course!” Gu Ci’s eyes curved into crescents as she sweetly smiled. “I don’t want to miss any of your matches.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes sparkled with visible happiness.

Gu Ci asked, “Are you thrilled?”

“Of course!” Lu Zhiyuan said. “I’ll reserve the best seat for you.”

“Great!”

When Gu Ziyu returned upstairs, it was already noon. He lay on the sofa like a little salted fish, his sweatshirt soaked with perspiration, his hair dripping, and his legs dangling limply.

“Mom, the public examination was too difficult,” Gu Ziyu complained. Gu Ci encouraged him before opening a bottle of cola. Gu Ziyu eagerly drank the cold cola, his excitement overflowing.

Upon learning that Gu Ci was going abroad to watch the competition, Gu Ziyu blinked. “I’m not interested in racing, and I’m not interested in training either. I’ll choose the lesser of two evils. I’ll go abroad to watch the competition too.” “Baby, you are a citizen of our country. You have to comply with our country’s arrangements and stay for training,” Gu Ci rubbed his head. “Mommy brought you a present.”

Gu Ziyu asked, “Do you think I’m a third wheel?”

“You’re not the brightest third wheel among us.”

The next day, Gu Ci came downstairs with her luggage. She had no makeup on, and her hair was simply tied up. Zhou Jinjin, wearing a black top with lantern sleeves and jeans, revealing his fair and alluring collarbone, stood in the wind, looking exquisite.

“We’re leaving for the airport at five o’clock. What time did you wake up to do your makeup?” Gu Ci asked, yawning.

Zhou Jinjin raised three fingers.

Gu Ci gave him a thumbs up. “You can, but you’ll be on the plane for over ten hours. What’s the point of putting on makeup?”

“As long as it looks beautiful!”

Zhou Jinjin eagerly awaited Lu Zhiyuan. Disappointed upon hearing that Lu Zhiyuan had left in the helicopter, Zhou Jinjin asked, “Didn’t he bring you along?”

“The sun hasn’t even risen.”

Zhou Jinjin misunderstood and lovingly patted Gu Ci’s shoulder. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have daydreamed. Your journey of pursuing your husband is a long one.”

Once they met up, Li Jiang sent someone to take them to the airport. The Dynasty’s driver and technical teams traveled on the same plane. Zhou Jinjin and Gu Ci boarded the private plane and settled into the first-class cabin. Since they didn’t see Lu Zhiyuan, the team members boarded one after another.

Lu Zhiyuan was in a separate lounge. As the plane ascended with the morning light, Lu Zhiyuan emerged from the room. Zhou Jinjin’s excitement overwhelmed her, causing her to cover her mouth and let out a scream.

“Lu Zhiyuan, you’re so handsome! I’m your fan. Do you remember me? Zhou Jinjin? We were classmates in middle school and high school. Can you give me an autograph?” Zhou Jinjin excitedly exposed her arm. “Sign on my arm. I can go a month without washing it.”

Gu Ci was left speechless.

Lu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”

Zhou Jinjin hesitated for a moment and then picked up Lu Zhiyuan’s celebrity photos and posters. “We can also sign these.”

“I didn’t bring a pen!” Lu Zhiyuan gazed at the thick stack of postcards and posters, unwilling to sign them.

“Got it, got it.” Zhou Jinjin turned around and, to the surprise of Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci, produced three watercolor pens. “Red, black, and yellow. Which one do you prefer? I’ve prepared them all.”

Gu Ci, struggling to contain her laughter, said, “Zhou Jinjin, he has already removed you from his list of fans.”

“Nonsense. Our Lu Zhiyuan is beautiful, kind, and generous. He won’t be upset.”

After signing four autographs, Lu Zhiyuan, who was about to refuse any further requests, silently signed six more to make the number round. “Here you go.”

“This is my treasure!” Zhou Jinjin expressed her satisfaction. Gu Ci half-lay on a thin blanket, engrossed in reading a magazine. Zhou Jinjin and Lu Zhiyuan engaged in conversation, with their discussion mostly centered around Gu Ci. However, Gu Ci continued reading the magazine apathetically, seemingly oblivious to their conversation. When Zhou Jinjin mentioned Gu Ci’s first love, Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes gleamed with malice. “First love? Who?”

“He’s the most handsome guy in our class. He also got into University A this year. Cici had a crush on him for three months…” Zhou Jinjin turned to look at Gu Ci. “She has moved on now. She’s pursuing you.”

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at Gu Ci with a faint smile. “Your first love… Yang Sihang?”

Gu Ci casually flipped a page of the magazine. “I’ve moved on.”

Lu Zhiyuan smiled coldly. “You change crushes quite frequently.”

“I like novelty and detest the old. I get bored easily and can’t keep up the chase for long, so I move on to someone new,” Gu Ci stated confidently. “I topped the college entrance examination not just because I’m smart. Being pretty helps. 1 pursued him for a few months, but if there’s no chemistry, it means we’re not meant to be.”

Lu Zhiyuan swung his arm and slammed the door. Zhou Jinjin approached. “How scheming. Did you deliberately make me tell him that you like Yang Sihang? Are you giving Lu Zhiyuan an ultimatum?”

“It’s just… You wanted trouble.”

“A young girl’s mind is hard to decipher,” Zhou Jinjin clicked his tongue. “You’re the top scorer in the college entrance examination, so you’re beautiful. He’s the world champion, so he’s also beautiful. It’s fine if you have a crush on him, but you even threatened to switch targets if he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. You’re a little ungrateful.”

Gu Ci smiled but remained silent, engrossed in reading the magazine. Seeing that Lu Zhiyuan didn’t emerge, Zhou Jinjin covered himself with a thin blanket and pretended to sleep. After a while, Zhou Jinjin asked, “Who’s the hunk sitting across from me? Do you know?”

“Chen Fei, Ziyu’s coach,” Gu Ci replied. “Why?”

“He offended me,” Zhou Jinjin’s face darkened.

Gu Ci said, “Take it easy. You already have a conviction for assaulting a soldier.” “What the hell?”

“Chen Fei is an actual soldier with the rank of captain,” Gu Ci calmly explained. “He’s young and knows how to fight. Don’t provoke him.”

Zhou Jinjin slapped his forehead. “I was too impulsive. I should have punched him. At least then I could claim innocence because I didn’t know better..”
