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

The matter settled, Yang Hua continued chatting with Gu Yu.

His attitude had softened somewhat from before, when he had treated Gu Yu as a junior solely based on identity and age.

But now, in his eyes, Gu Yu was someone on his level.

When two people share the same convictions, any barrier between their hearts dissolves.

For a comrade, of course, there is no need for vigilance.

"It's indeed a pity. Senior Yang, don't call me a genius. I really can't handle praise; it goes to my head."

Gu Yu spoke politely.

"Eh, you should be praised, you deserve it. Young people should have some pride."

Yang Hua disagreed with Gu Yu's words. If Gu Yu's humility before was polite, now it somewhat slighted the face of the Underground Guardians.

If it weren't for their special identities, those silent bearers of responsibility and hope should be known to everyone, their photographs and medals proudly displayed on monuments for all to admire.

"What kind of charade are you two playing?" Dai Zhengguo, although aware of Gu Yu's special status, didn't know exactly what it was.

Watching the two of them chat back and forth left him bewildered.

Wasn't he the one who had introduced Gu Yu to Yang Hua?

Why did he feel like he was the outsider at the scene?

"Haha, nothing at all, Old Yang. Since the ship's crew has been confirmed, I should be heading back."

Hearing Dai Zhengguo's voice, Yang Hua remembered that Dai Zhengguo was there.

He apologized to Dai Zhengguo and then picked up the hat and mask lying on the table, put them on, and left the office.

Watching Yang Hua leave, Dai Zhengguo stared at Gu Yu with a skeptical face: "I knew you were no ordinary fellow, but I didn't expect you to be quite so extraordinary!"

"To make Yang Hua call someone 'comrade,' aside from the captain on the medical ship, I've never seen another."

Dai Zhengguo sighed deeply.

Gu Yu smiled and kept quiet, knowing that Dai Zhengguo was just venting and not really asking for details.

Lin Xinyue looked at Gu Yu's profile; she realized he seemed to be growing more mysterious.

Even though Gu Yu hadn't done anything, everyone she met, regardless of their status or position, treated him with kindness.

Such mysteriousness could easily make someone feel insecure.

Fortunately, Gu Yu was holding her hand tightly, making her constantly aware of his presence and letting her know that Gu Yu was truly a real, sincere person who was with her.

"Lin Xinyue, Lin Xinyue, you need to work harder to catch up with Yu's pace!"

The security Gu Yu provided spurred her with more motivation.

If this were before, she might have backed out of the relationship due to the disparity in their statuses.

But now, it made her feel proud and filled her with a powerful drive to better herself.

"Now that both of your boarding qualifications are pretty much confirmed, you should start preparing this next month."

"It's best to properly arrange your current affairs, as you won't be able to return for two or three months."

Dai Zhengguo shifted away from the previous topic and began instructing Gu Yu to take the time to handle his affairs.

This wasn't just a simple trip abroad; though safety was guaranteed during the journey, no one knew if other unexpected events might occur.

So, before setting off, one had to arrange all ongoing matters properly.

"I understand." Gu Yu nodded. There wasn't much on his plate right now.

The main thing was to make arrangements for Ideal Paradise.

Although the company was operating normally, as Mr. Dai had said, being away for two or three months, Gu Yu couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen at Ideal Paradise during that time.

Especially since he knew his second brother's development department was working on a major game. Although he wasn't much involved, he might need to personally contact someone for some work.

So before leaving, it was crucial to settle the company management arrangements.

Luckily, the time provided was relatively ample, more than a month, which should be enough.

"Xinyue, have you mentioned this to your parents-in-law?" Gu Yu looked towards Lin Xinyue.

He of course knew that Lin Xinyue would definitely be coming with him.

That meant he also needed to prepare her parents. Stay updated via empire

If it were just a month or two within the country, Xinyue's parents probably wouldn't say much, but this time it was international travel, and it wasn't just a simple trip abroad.

Not seeing their daughter for two or three months, they definitely needed some mental preparation.

"I haven't told them yet! I've been waiting for the confirmation of my eligibility, and I will talk to them about this tonight when I go home," she said.

"With you accompanying me, they definitely won't object!" she added.

"You don't know! Every evening when I video call my parents, they always ask how you and I are doing now!"

"Even though I'm their daughter!"

Speaking of her parents, Lin Xinyue puffed her cheeks in annoyance. Since Gu Yu had met her parents, their video calls had completely revolved around him.

Before, they would talk about school life and trivial matters of daily life, but now the topics were all, "How are things with Gu Yu?""Is Gu Yu doing well?""Do you guys go out together often?"

"Yueyue, as a girl, you should take more care of Gu Yu! Being alone in Modu, he definitely needs company..."

She had heard these words so often her ears could have developed calluses.

But her parents repeated them tirelessly.

She even suspected whether Gu Yu was really the Lin Family's child, and that his real name should have been Lin Yu.

"Okay, I must make things clear to them about what I'm going for, so they won't worry," Gu Yu nodded.

"I know, I know! You nag just like my mom," Lin Xinyue feigned covering her ears and rolled her eyes at Gu Yu.

"Hahaha..." Dai Zhengguo on the side grinned broadly.

Seeing such positive and sweet youthful love, he felt very happy inside.

"Dudu dudu."

The office door was knocked on.

Dai Zhengguo reined in his smile, coughed, and called out, "I'm here."

"Click—the door was pushed open, and a girl dressed in a white lab coat entered carrying a stack of papers.

It was Qin Wanwan.

The moment Qin Wanwan saw Gu Yu, the weariness in her eyes instantly brightened.

Then, following Gu Yu's arm to see him holding Lin Xinyue's hand, the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.

Pretending to pass by Gu Yu nonchalantly, she placed the reports she held on Dai Zhengguo's desk.

"Mr. Dai, these are the practical reports from this period, please review them for me."

Dai Zhengguo pushed his glasses, nodded, and said, "Okay, and also, could you notify Bei and the others back at school to discuss and come up with a design project? I'll make up some classes for you this month."

"Make-up classes?" Qin Wanwan nodded, "Are you going on a long trip, teacher?"

"Mm." Dai Zhengguo hummed affirmatively.

"Okay then, who will take care of our teaching guidance in the meantime? Could it be..."

Qin Wanwan suddenly looked towards Gu Yu.

Since Gu Yu was designated by Dai Zhengguo as the teaching assistant, if Mr. Dai was going on a long trip, anyone stepping in for the teaching guidance would probably be Gu Yu, right?

She suddenly felt very eager.

Lin Xinyue caught the hopeful look in Qin Wanwan's eyes and then glanced at Gu Yu.

She instantly understood, Qin Wanwan was another of Gu Yu's admirers!

How come this guy had a bunch of fangirls wherever he went!

She immediately felt a bit jealous, but there was nothing she could do about it; after all, Gu Yu hadn't done anything—it was just his personal charm.

"No, this time Assistant Gu will also be accompanying me on the trip, I will arrange for another teacher to guide you," he explained.

"Also, you will be preparing for graduation soon. Make sure to manage your time well and focus on your thesis!"

Dai Zhengguo shook his head, speaking earnestly.

"Oh..."

Qin Wanwan felt a sudden wave of disappointment.
