At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Wuwuwu. Mr. Luo, how can you bear to watch a poor, weak, helpless student fall into a defamation trap?"

"I'm still just a kid in my early twenties, all I wanted was to protect my human rights. What did I do wrong?"

"Please help me, Mr. Luo—"

While Luo San was deep in thought, Gu Yu suddenly pretended to start crying on the call, and although he couldn't help but smile, Luo San on the other end of the phone perceived it as tearfully sincere.

"This…" Luo San's hesitant voice sounded through the phone, and Gu Yu knew that Luo San was already beginning to waver.

So he pressed on, "Mr. Luo, I really need your help! I can't think of anyone else to turn to!"

Gu Yu's voice was sincere and straightforward, but he played a little trick.

Because he knew Mr. Luo was a teacher who almost unreservedly helped his students.

Sure enough, there was silence on the other end for a few seconds, then Luo San confirmed, "Alright, since that's the case, just let me know when you need me to file the lawsuit for you."

Luo San's voice was prompt.

Having decided, he wouldn't hesitate anymore.

"Thank you, teacher! Then I won't be shy!" Gu Yu was delighted and quickly thanked him.

With Mr. Luo's assistance, no matter what monsters or demons he faced, they'd all be taken down! Read new adventures at empire

It was an ongoing joke online that Luo San's lawsuits could send jurors and even the judges' gavels to jail, although it was a playful jest, it also indirectly showed how strong Luo San was.

A professor at Huaxia Political University is not to be underestimated!

"I don't know why, but I always feel like you've set a trap for me; still, I hope I can help you!"

With a sense of resignation, Mr. Luo finished his last sentence and then hung up the voice call.

"Done!"

Gu Yu put down his phone and stretched lazily when Lin Xinyue knocked on the door and called softly, "Yu, are you asleep?"

"Not yet! Come in!" Gu Yu quickly stood up and responded.

Lin Xinyue walked in, carefully carrying a bowl of something.

Gu Yu hurried over to take it, looking puzzled at the contents of the bowl: "Is this tremella soup?"

Lin Xinyue rubbed her scalded, itching fingers and nodded gently, "Yes, I specifically made tremella soup for you, drink it while it's warm once it cools down a bit!"

"Okay~" Gu Yu smiled warmly, placed the tremella soup on a side table, and then took her hand:

"Tell me, why did you suddenly make tremella soup for me? I'm so handsome, I shouldn't need any more collagen, right?"

"Hehe, you can drink a bit more!"

Watching his self-loving grin, Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at him: "Who said this tremella soup was for your beauty treatment!"

"Tremella has heart-strengthening and energy-boosting effects; I also added honeysuckle because I was worried that those people's slanders would upset you. I made this especially to cool you down!"

Seeing Gu Yu shaking his head and pretending not to listen, Lin Xinyue sighed helplessly, this guy was getting more and more vain.

Initially, he was at least a bit reserved at the beginning, but now, he's stopped pretending altogether.

In her presence, he sometimes acted like a child, proud and pleased, leaving her unsure what to say.

However, she also knew that only when a boy completely let down his guard and truly liked a girl would he show his childish side.

Gu Yu really considered her as a very trustworthy person, which was truly a joyous matter.

"Cool down? No no no, I'm not angry at all! I've got a good temper, don't you know? I felt a bit upset when I first heard the news, but now I'm not angry at all."

Gu Yu hurriedly waved his hands with a smile.

He would never get angry over others' negative opinions about him!

One's emotions should be controlled by oneself, not manipulated by others.

However, Xinyue had specially made him a silver ear soup, which touched him deeply!

If he hadn't known that the timing was wrong, he would have wanted to kneel down and propose right away!

Both of their careers were in the development stage, and it wasn't suitable to discuss marriage yet.

But the seed of wanting to marry Lin Xinyue was already planted in Gu Yu's heart.

"Oh, just drink it already! You're being even more finicky than a girl!"

Lin Xinyue playfully stuck out her tongue at him.

Seeing this, Gu Yu, without a second thought, swiftly leaned in and kissed her red lips briefly.

Lin Xinyue's eyes widened instantly, and by the time she reacted, Gu Yu had already pretended as if nothing had happened and started sipping the silver ear soup.

"Tsk, this mouth...no, this silver ear soup is really sweet!"

Gu Yu gently sipped a mouthful of the sugary liquid and smacked his lips.

Lin Xinyue knew he was teasing her and, with a huff, punched him lightly on the shoulder.

"Ouch—" Gu Yu pouted and drew a sharp breath.

"Ah...? Did I hurt you? I...I didn't mean to!" Lin Xinyue, seeing him like this, quickly retracted her fist and caressed his shoulder, blowing gently as if consoling a child.

Gu Yu slightly turned his face to look at her worried and soothing expression, feeling a warm surge in his heart.

A gentle woman could always touch the softest part of a boy's heart, no matter the circumstances.

"It doesn't hurt anymore..."

Seeing her slightly furrowed brow and distressed look, Gu Yu couldn't help but softly stroke her eyebrows, wanting to erase her guilt.

"I won't hit you anymore, I really didn't mean it just now, who would have thought you're so delicate..."

Lin Xinyue lowered her hands, intertwined them together like a little girl admitting her fault, and timidly didn't dare to meet Gu Yu's eyes.

However, her words instantly ignited a competitive spirit in Gu Yu. He straightened up, took off his shirt, and started flexing his nearly perfect biceps at Lin Xinyue.

"Huh!? What do you mean I can't take a hit! Look at this sturdy body of mine, you could throw a hundred punches, and I wouldn't even make a sound!"

"What just happened was purely because I accidentally burnt my mouth when you hit me!"

Gu Yu said earnestly, not forgetting to change poses in the meantime, fully displaying his perfectly contoured muscles.

"Pah, pah, pah, what kind of strange competitive spirit is this! Put your shirt back on already!"

Lin Xinyue couldn't believe Gu Yu would really take his shirt off so quickly; she hurriedly turned her blushing face away.

Though she was telling him to put his shirt on, her eyes involuntarily kept glancing at Gu Yu's abs.

Even though she had seen them before, this was still the closest she'd ever been...

She was almost pressed against him.

She could even feel the scent of his hormones.

Her ears felt as if they were on fire, and even her throat felt a bit dry.
