Chapter 129: Brother-in-law (2)

The sad mood quickly appeared,then dissipated .  Before Gu Teng could taste it properly, it disappeared without trace . Just remembering that moment, his heart felt so depressed, that he couldn’t breathe .

“Xiao Teng,” Gu Jin noticed that his face paled frighteningly . He ignored her words, so she waved her hand in front of him eagerly . “Are you all right?”

“I’m in good health . What can I do for you?” Gu Teng recovered from his tumultuous emotions,  gently brus.h.i.+ng Gu Jin’s hand aside . Noticing sincere concern in his sister’s eyes, Gu Teng’s heart eased up immensely, so he didn’t mind it much . Perhaps, playing basketball that noon heated him up too much?

“That’s good . ”

On their way back home together, Gu Jin glanced at Gu Teng suspiciously . She didn’t intend to cause trouble, but this boy’s expression appeared rather frightening . In the words of an old adage: terrifying enough that one’s soul leaves the body and scatters .

Gu Jin considers herself a materialist, but the series of rebirths distorted her understanding of the world . After deliberately observing Gu Teng’s condition for a while longer, she confirmed that he had nothing wrong with him and calmed down .

During the meal, Gu Jin cautiously mentioned Mu Mingcheng’s affairs after several discussions . Unexpectedly, Gu Changsheng and Li Mingxia remained silent momentarily, before asking her to bring him home for them to see .

Gu Jin still floated in the clouds and mists, until she finished her meal and washed the dishes .

Should they consent this easily? Gu Jin patted her face in disbelief . She originally believed that she would have to fight a hard battle, allowing her the opportunity to delay the [inevitable] meeting between Mu Mingcheng and her parents . Although the man laboriously restrained himself in the car, Gu Jin still recognized that thirst and hunger pooled within the bottom of his eyes .

If their relations.h.i.+p progressed this rapidly, she feared that the dry land in this man shall soon be flooded .

However, Gu Jin had no idea that her parents already noticed Gu Jin exit from Mu Mingcheng’s car through a monitor outside the house .

Originally, the parents expressed great displeasure upon seeing that a pig had arched its paw at their tender, white [bok choy] cabbage . However, their tension eased somewhat, when they also observed that Mu Mingcheng’s car remain parked, waiting for Gu Jin to reach the house’s entrance safely .

Although merely a hundred meters distanced the car from the front door, the gentleman still decided to stayed behind, ensuring their daughter’s safety with his own eyes before departing . He apparently regards her with great importance .

……

By 10 p . m . , the elders fell asleep, including Grandma Fu, who – without Gu Ling at home – refrained from causing trouble for Gu Jin .

During this time, Gu Jin and Gu Teng played games in the living room downstairs .

They battled fiercely, neither brother nor sister regarding their own images as they sat cross-legged on the sofa, focusing on their keyboards .

“Quick! Quick! Pa.s.s the milk to me!” Gu Jin shouted insistently . Her eyes focused on her screen, while she ignored the messy state of her hair .

Gu Teng wordlessly manipulated his mouse to satisfy Gu Jin’s demand .

Upon receiving the poisoned milk, Gu Jin threw it towards the enemies, speedily killing two additional characters . This behavior prompted Gu Teng to wonder if this deranged woman truly was his gentle, beautiful sister .

She behaved quite normally a few days ago, but her mannerisms changed, unexpectedly .

Gu Teng racked his brains for the reason and recalled watching a black car drive away that afternoon .

Did her boyfriend bring about these changes?

Gu Teng speculated no other cause that could drive people mad, except for the power of love .
