Chapter 258 - 126: You Are Mine! [First Update]
As soon as Jun Wu finished speaking, fireworks suddenly began to light up the sky across the lake. Under the brilliant display, Gu Qingqing looked at Jun Wu on the opposite side and noticed the usually expressionless face was now filled with obvious tension, looking at her expectantly.Gu Qingqing felt her mind was exploding, as if fireworks were going off inside, her heartbeat becoming more rapid, almost as if it wanted to leap right out of her chest.
The moments she had ignored before flashed through her mind one by one. She finally realized that she had feelings for Jun Wu.
Whenever he focused his gaze on her, her heart would race. She would feel happy when he complimented her and would feel sweet being with him... She finally understood she actually liked Jun Wu too.
"Geng Geng, I may not know how to speak sweet words, but I can promise you, from now on, you’re the only one in my heart. I will always be with you. Wherever you are, I will be. If you’re alive, I will live; if you die, I will go with you," Jun Wu said, looking at Gu Qingqing with deep affection.
A slight blush appeared on Gu Qingqing’s cheeks, gradually spreading downwards until even her neck was tinged red, indicating her great shyness at this moment.
"So, Geng Geng, promise me, stay with me, okay?" Jun Wu naturally noticed the red on Gu Qingqing’s face, knowing she felt the same about him, and was delighted, quickly speaking up.
Gu Qingqing slightly raised her head, meeting Jun Wu’s affectionate gaze, and nodded in a daze.
Jun Wu had braced himself for being rejected by Gu Qingqing since until now, she hadn’t shown signs of understanding his feelings. He had even thought about how to comfort her after being rejected, but to his surprise, Gu Qingqing agreed!
Overwhelmed with immense joy, fireworks filled his mind as he watched the girl he loved. Jun Wu couldn’t resist reaching out and pulling her into his arms.
"Geng Geng, since you agreed to be with me, I won’t let you go. From today on, you are mine, and only mine!" he whispered dominantly yet tenderly in her ear.
Gu Qingqing, still in a daze, neither resisted nor protested, while the smile on Jun Wu’s lips grew deeper.
Thus, in the following moments, Gu Qingqing felt like she was dreaming, completely in a daze, as Jun Wu held her hand and led her back to their place.
At the door, Gu Qingqing encountered Yun Ran who had come looking for her.
Seeing Gu Qingqing’s face full of smiles as if something wonderful had happened, emitting a pink aura all over, Yun Ran was a bit surprised as Gu Qingqing didn’t even notice her standing at the door.
"Geng Geng, what’s going on? Did something happen?" Yun Ran waved her hand in front of Gu Qingqing’s eyes and asked.
"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing finally came to her senses, seeing Yun Ran looking a bit surprised, "Sister Yun, what are you doing here?"
"I’ve been here for quite a while. What were you thinking about? Didn’t even notice me?" Yun Ran was even more surprised, never having seen Gu Qingqing like this.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing immediately recalled the recent confession from Jun Wu, and the blush that had just receded climbed back onto her cheeks, the pink atmosphere around her intensifying.
"You seem so happy. Let me guess, did Jun Wu confess to you?" Yun Ran asked, her eyes gleaming with interest.
Gu Qingqing’s pupils dilated in shock, looking at Yun Ran, unable to believe it, instinctively asking: "How did you know?"
Realizing what she had just said, she quickly covered her mouth, her cheeks reddening further, shifting her gaze elsewhere, unable to meet Yun Ran’s eyes.
"Oh~" Yun Ran teased, "I knew it. You definitely like Jun Wu too. He finally confessed. Watching you two from the side was making me anxious!"
The couple she had been rooting for was finally together, and Yun Ran was more excited than Gu Qingqing.
"He likes me," Gu Qingqing finally lifted her head to look at Yun Ran, "that obvious?"
"Isn’t it obvious?" Yun Ran rolled her eyes, "Haven’t you heard the rumors about Jun Wu? Everyone in the Sub-immortal Realm knows that the Saint Son of Yunlan Sacred Land is the most indifferent, paying no attention to women, who can never catch his notice. Think about how Jun Wu usually treats you. He’s always gentle. Then think about how he treats me. We’ve met quite a few times, and our conversations don’t even total up to one hand!"
Gu Qingqing thought carefully about Yun Ran’s words and realized it was true. Jun Wu was always very aloof with others, especially with women, almost completely ignoring them, but he was completely different in front of her!
"We all saw that he liked you, but you hadn’t realized it, and I didn’t want you to be taken away by him, so I didn’t tell you." Despite believing that Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu were a perfect match made in heaven, Yun Ran liked Gu Qingqing more, not wanting her to be taken away, hence her withholding of the truth.
"You guys?" Gu Qingqing was a bit surprised, "Who do you mean by ’you guys’?"
"Of course it’s me, Zhuo Tingqiu and Senior Brother Si, maybe your master and the others too," Yun Ran said matter-of-factly.
Gu Qingqing covered her face, "So, all of you could tell Jun Wu likes me, and I’m the only one who didn’t see it?" She felt her usually sharp perception had completely failed her in this instance.
"Yeah, probably not just us. Anyone who knows Jun Wu’s personality and has seen the two of you together could tell," Yun Ran nodded and added.
Gu Qingqing’s cheeks turned even redder; she felt she had been quite silly for not noticing something so obvious!
"So did he confess, and did you say yes?" Yun Ran asked Gu Qingqing curiously.
Gu Qingqing, covering her face, bashfully nodded. At the time, she was dazzled by Jun Wu’s good looks and nodded in a daze. Now it’s too late to back out, though she didn’t intend to!
"Ah, Jun Wu really lucked out!" Yun Ran said, a bit gritting her teeth at the thought of Gu Qingqing being taken away by Jun Wu, even though she had been rooting for them, "Geng Geng, don’t choose a lover over friends."
"Of course not." Gu Qingqing quickly shook her head, indicating she wasn’t that kind of person.
"That’s good," Yun Ran nodded satisfactorily, suddenly realizing such big news couldn’t just stay with her. "I have to tell Zhuo Tingqiu about this big event that you two are together."
After saying that, Yun Ran ran towards Zhuo Tingqiu’s room, not caring about Gu Qingqing’s reaction. Gu Qingqing couldn’t stop her even if she tried.
She returned to her room, sat on a stool, propped her chin with her hands, and her mind wandered back to Jun Wu’s affectionate expression just now. Her cheeks turned red again, and an involuntary silly smile appeared on her face, making her look a bit strange.
The next morning, Yue Zhao and the others all knew about Jun Wu confessing to Gu Qingqing last night, and that she had accepted.
Yue Zhao and the rest went to Gu Qingqing’s room, making it quite lively.
"Geng Geng, how could you accept that kid’s confession so easily? At least you should let him wait a bit," Rong Ye looked at Gu Qingqing with frustration, feeling she shouldn’t have agreed to Jun Wu so quickly and should have given him a hard time.
"Exactly, a girl should be reserved and test him more. What if he changes his mind later?" Mu Chen chimed in. Mu Chen was a bit upset about Jun Wu stealing Gu Qingqing right under their noses.
"How dare he!" Nan Hua shook his fan, for once without a smile on his face, "If he dares to change his mind and hurt Geng Geng, we’ll take care of him!"
"Alright, the three of you shut up now!" Yue Zhao gave them a glance, effectively silencing them, then turned to Gu Qingqing with a very gentle expression, "Geng Geng, have you thought it through?"
"Second Brother, I’ve thought it through," Gu Qingqing nodded, her cheeks a bit red. Although she was shy, she still spoke her mind, "I also like Jun Wu, that’s why I said yes to being with him."
"If you’ve made up your mind, then your brother supports you," Yue Zhao, like before, gently patted Gu Qingqing’s head, showing indescribable warmth, "If he ever does anything to wrong you, just tell us, your brothers, and we’ll stand up for you. No matter the distance, we’ll take care of him for you!"
"Thank you, brothers," Gu Qingqing was touched, feeling that Yue Zhao and the others always pampered her, "But I believe Jun Wu won’t, even if he does, I’ll take care of him myself!"
In her heart, she believed Jun Wu wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, and she was confident that even if he did, she could handle it herself!
"No matter what, as long as you’re happy, your brothers will always be your rock!" Yue Zhao nodded, patted her head again, and said.
Gu Qingqing nodded, sniffed, "I know, thank you, brothers."
Seeing Gu Qingqing looking at them so emotionally, Yue Zhao wore a gentle expression, Nan Hua’s smile reappeared at the corner of his lips, Mu Chen’s somewhat pale face also blossomed into a gentle smile, and Rong Ye turned his head, but in the corner of his eye, he was still watching Gu Qingqing, unable to hide his smile.
...
At the same time, at the Yunlan Sacred Land’s base, Jun Yutian also found out about Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing, excitedly calling Jun Wu to him.
"I heard you confessed to that girl Geng Geng last night, did she agree?" Although Jun Yutian had a very cold and domineering image outside, he was very gentle with his family and doted on his only son. Now he was asking with great concern.
