Lu Zhiyuan became alert and held Gu Ci’s hand. “Gu Ci, I’m being mocked.”

“So what?” Gu Ci responded calmly.

Lu Zhiyuan pulled Gu Ci closer and kissed her, making a sound even louder than the couple next door. Gu Ci’s lips and tongue felt numb. “I have to prove that I’m capable.”

Gu Ci was left speechless.

Your competitive spirit is really strong.

“Lunatic!” the guy next to them couldn’t help but curse. Gu Ci and the girl exchanged harsh words. Finally, the movie ended, and the guy next to them left angrily with his girlfriend.

Lu Zhiyuan seemed triumphant. Gu Ci couldn’t help but think of Third Master’s lifeless expression. It felt strange to see these two contrasting sides of him—the mature and composed older brother versus the arrogant and childish younger brother.

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at his watch. “I have to go home.”

“Let’s grab dinner first,” Gu Ci teased.

Lu Zhiyuan firmly refused. “No!”

Had he lost his mind? She had wanted Third Master to have a date with Gu Ci, but it ended up being ruined.

However, things didn’t go as they hoped. When Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci left the theater, they were surrounded by fans. Two fans recognized him and excitedly asked for autographs and photos. Lu Zhiyuan’s expression darkened.

“It’s not convenient!” Lu Zhiyuan coldly rejected them, eager to leave.

“Is she your girlfriend? Who is she?” one fan, a young girl, aggressively questioned Gu Ci as if she had caught them in a compromising situation.

“What does it have to do with you?” Lu Zhiyuan retorted, pulling Gu Ci away. The girl rushed forward, tears welling up in her eyes. “So you’re actually in a relationship, even wearing matching outfits. How can you face us fans? Who seduced you? You should focus on racing. Falling in love will ruin your future. You must have seduced him, you vixen.”

Another female fan joined in, sobbing sadly. “Lu Zhiyuan, you’re really this kind of person. You’re willing to ruin your future for love. You… You’ve let down all your fans who love you. I hereby declare that I’m no longer a fan, and I don’t like you anymore.”

Their emotions were intense, causing a commotion. People around them took out their phones and started recording. Lu Zhiyuan took off his hat and shielded Gu Ci’s face. He sneered, “Who cares about you?”

“We’ve liked you for five years!” they shouted frantically. “Lu Zhiyuan, you didn’t win the championship this month because you’re in love. You’ve sacrificed your future for a woman.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s body tensed up. He shielded Gu Ci’s face and led her out of the mall.

He wasn’t a popular idol; he was an athlete who pursued first place on the track with his own abilities. He didn’t owe his fans any explanations about his love life.

But the fan’s words struck a nerve with Lu Zhiyuan.

He didn’t win the championship because of Gu Ci.

However, he never regretted it. How could a championship compare to Gu Ci? But the fan’s words had morally blackmailed Gu Ci and hurt her deeply.

The parking lot was dimly lit.

Lu Zhiyuan gently caressed her fair face. “Don’t take her words to heart. I don’t need that championship trophy.”

“She’s right. It’s because of me.” Gu Ci sounded regretful.

“Gu Ci, ignore what others say. Just look at me and trust me.” Lu Zhiyuan reassured her. “As long as it’s you, I’d trade all the championships for it.”

Gu Ci was moved and flustered. She covered his lips. “Don’t say such things.”

In his previous life, a prophecy came true.

He had truly given up on racing and traded all the championships for her.

Lu Zhiyuan kissed the palm of her hand. “Don’t let that crazy person’s words affect you.”

Gu Ci smiled. “Why would I care about what she said? I was just teasing you.” “Gu Ci!” Lu Zhiyuan was both angry and amused.

Gu Ci tiptoed and brushed her lips against his. Lu Zhiyuan responded warmly. For the first time, Lu Zhiyuan ignored the time on his watch. At that moment, when they kissed, it was six o’clock in the evening.

Gu Ci felt Lu Zhiyuan’s grip on her waist tightens, to the point of pain. While they were still entangled, Lu Zhiyuan pushed her away and took a step back.

The headlights of an approaching car illuminated the area, acting as a natural barrier between them. Gu Ci raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light. Once the car passed, she looked at the silent Lu Zhiyuan.

His lips were still moist, but his eyes had changed.

They had the same face and the same outfit.

Day and night… It was as if they were two different people.

“Third Master?” Gu Ci called out to him, but Lu Zhiyuan remained silent, looking at her intently. Under his gaze, Gu Ci felt a coldness seep into her veins. Lu Zhiyuan turned around and disappeared from her sight.

Gu Ci stared at the empty space, stunned. “Is he so angry that he doesn’t want to see me?”

Gu Ci drove back to the Global Sports Center. Li Jiang was waiting for her downstairs. He handed Gu Ci a sapphire blue velvet box. Gu Ci asked, “What’s this?”

“It’s a watch!” Li Jiang replied. “It’s a gift from Third Master.”

Gu Ci’s body tensed up. She instantly understood Lu Zhiyuan’s message. They had agreed to switch at six o’clock. He hoped she would remember the time and avoid making any more mistakes. It wasn’t just a gift; it was a warning.

“Please thank Third Master for me,” Gu Ci said.

Li Jiang smiled warmly.

He couldn’t help but wonder why Miss Gu Ci didn’t seem happy at all. This was the first time Third Master had given a gift to someone.

When Gu Ci returned home, Gu Ziyu looked at her with a faint smile. “Mom, you didn’t take me along on your date.”

“Darling, who brings their child on a date with their partner?”

“I know. You guys are truly in love, and I’m an accident.”

Gu Ci pinched his cheek, and Gu Ziyu ran to the study to work. Chen Liangdong was really making him work like child labor. Gu Ziyu worked at the National Security Bureau from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Zhou Jinjin called, “Cici, you’re being scolded and you’re trending.”

Gu Ci was trending because she had been scolded.

The video of her and Lu Zhiyuan meeting fans at the movie theater had been leaked and spread on Lu Zhiyuan’s fan page. At first, the female fans speculated about who the person was. Lu Zhiyuan immediately covered Gu Ci’s face, but they still found out it was her.

Subsequently, someone posted a photo of Gu Ci attending a race in Lavis, as well as a photo of her arguing with Lu Zhiyuan on the street.

The post went viral. People claimed that Lu Zhiyuan had lost the championship in Lavis because he was distracted by his argument with Gu Ci. They criticized Gu Ci for knowing about Lu Zhiyuan’s race but still choosing to argue with him, calling her arrogant and unruly.

Even well-known socialites like Chen Ying and Qiao Yamei joined in, saying that Gu Ci had always been arrogant and unreasonable since she was young. Gu Ci faced heavy criticism in the trending discussions..
