“I can run two thousand meters now,” Gu Ziyu replied, straightforward and easy to understand. He had made significant progress from running 200 meters to running 2,000 meters.

“Gu Ci, he’s still so young. Why does he have to train for six hours a day?” Lu Zhiyuan questioned. “Other children his age would play games with cats and dogs. It’s not his thing.”

“I don’t need to fit in,” Gu Ziyu responded, cool and confident.

“Don’t you have school? Can you manage your homework?” Lu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but retort.

After Gu Ziyu served a roasted duck leg to Gu Ci, he smiled at Lu Zhiyuan. “Brother, I start school in September.”

“Finally, school has begun. Which primary school are you attending?”

“University A, the national defense information and computer engineering PhD program, and management studies.”

Lu Zhiyuan was left speechless.

His mocking smile froze on his face. No wonder he felt that the little one’s smile had a mocking tone. He turned to Gu Ci and asked, “Is he boasting?”

Gu Ci had always stayed out of the battles between father and son. “I have a double degree. He’s not lying or boasting.”

Gu Ziyu jabbed at Lu Zhiyuan again. “My education level is higher than yours!”

Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.

After lunch, Gu Ci felt mentally and physically exhausted. Lu Zhiyuan wanted to change his dressing, and Li Jiang promptly brought the necessary medicine. Lu Zhiyuan had been resting and recovering, and the stitches on his wound hadn’t been removed yet, so he still needed medication. His recovery was going well. After lunch, Gu Ziyu was called away by Chen Fei for training.

Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Little Milk Bun’s coach is a retired soldier, right? His posture is so upright, clearly indicating a military background.”

Gu Ci responded, “I’m working on it.”

Lu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. When she explained further, Gu Ci clarified, “Gu Ziyu is a genius. I entrusted him to the country.”

“A six-year-old prodigy…” Lu Zhiyuan’s expression turned sour. “He’s an exceptional child.”

Gu Ci vaguely remarked, “Ziyu… he’s not six.”

“What do you mean?”

“His mental age is not six.” In her previous life, Gu Ziyu had never mentioned his age before he transmigrated, nor did she ask if he had died.

Gu Ci changed Lu Zhiyuan’s bandage and applied the medication. Although Lu Zhiyuan was recovering from his injuries, he maintained his figure through careful diet control. However, Gu Ci noticed that he didn’t seem to be in good spirits. After lunch, she chatted with him for a while before he fell asleep on the sofa.

She went to find Li Jiang. “Has he not been sleeping well lately?”

Li Jiang was in a difficult position. He sighed and replied, “Miss Gu Ci, Third Master has been experiencing insomnia and is unable to sleep well. In the past, Third Young Master would sleep until noon. Otherwise, he would be very tired during training. Since you moved in, you played the violin every night. Third Master slept well while listening to your violin, so Third Young Master was in high spirits every day. During this period, when you were away, Third Master couldn’t sleep well, resulting in Third Young Master feeling drowsy during the day.”

Gu Ci recalled that in her previous life, Lu Zhiyuan enjoyed listening to her play the violin. It had become a habit to play the violin before bed. So it turned out that it helped him sleep. He had never mentioned it before.

“Third Master really enjoys hearing you play the violin,” Li Jiang remarked.

Gu Ci mocked, “Was it an expression of enjoyment or disgust?”

Li Jiang was speechless and smiled. “Miss Gu Ci, Third Young Master’s emotions are easier to understand than Third Master’s. However, Third Master’s preferences have always been quite fixed.”

Gu Ci couldn’t believe that Third Master had any preferences.

Lu Zhiyuan slept until the afternoon. Gu Ci wasn’t in the room, so he asked Li Jiang, who responded, “President Jiang is here to see Miss Gu Ci. They are having afternoon tea downstairs.”

“Why is he here?” Lu Zhiyuan instinctively felt a sense of displeasure. With Gu Ziyu by Gu Ci’s side, occupying half of her attention, now there was Jiang Junlin.

He touched the wolf head necklace and his eyes revealed stubbornness and displeasure. He didn’t like anyone or anything to occupy Gu Ci’s thoughts. It was best if Gu Ci only looked at him.

Her heart should belong to him alone.

Jiang Junlin and Gu Ci were enjoying their afternoon tea. Gu Ci had bought Jiang Junlin a gift, a pair of Bluetooth earphones. A smile flickered in Jiang Junlin’s eyes.

“Thank you, little sister.”

“This is a gift from your brother,” Jiang Junlin handed her a red velvet box. Gu Ci opened it and saw a collectible imperial green grandmother necklace inside. It was the Eye of Jupiter.

A ring of diamonds surrounded it, so extravagant that it couldn’t be worn on a daily basis.

“Thank you, big brother,” Gu Ci accepted it graciously. Jiang Junlin was delighted. “How was your trip to Lavis?”

“It was great. I treated it as a graduation trip,” Gu Ci sipped her tea. “Brother, why did you come to see me?”

“Have you chosen your major?”

“I’ll decide tomorrow. I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Jiang Junlin said, “You’ll be starting school in September. I’ll take you to see a few real estate projects near the campus in a few days. There are some residential areas with excellent facilities, just five minutes away from the school. Which one do you like? I’ll get it for you.”

Gu Ci politely declined, “Brother, I don’t need a house. I’ll stay at Worldwide.”

“It’s a bit far from the school.”

“It’s okay, I’ll drive.”

Jiang Junlin didn’t insist. After they finished their tea, he shared the reason why he had come to see Gu Ci. “Grandma raised Gu Chuyun for 18 years and loved her dearly. She’s getting older and a bit muddled in her thinking. I’ve scolded her, so don’t take it to heart. I hope we can have a meal together. My parents and grandfather all want to meet you.”

Gu Ci pondered for a moment. “Alright, let’s make an appointment before school starts, okay?”

“Of course!” Jiang Junlin chuckled, then took out two cards and handed them to Gu Ci. “This is my supplementary card, and this is your stock bonus card. Take both. If you want to buy anything, use my supplementary card.”

Gu Ci already had Lu Zhiyuan’s black card. While her brother had good intentions, she felt more at ease using Lu Zhiyuan’s card. “Brother, save your supplementary card for your future sister-in-law. I have enough to spend..”
