Bringing Gu Yue Home (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Recommendation Tickets!) The young man who had walked past Tang Wulin and Xie Xie was naturally Jing Shaoyu. The moment he saw Gu Yue, he decided to make the first move. He walked straight toward her. At that moment, Gu Yue was leaving the training ground expressionlessly, with quite a few Class Five cadets nearby.

The moment Gu Yue saw Jing Shaoyu, a trace of inexplicable panic flashed through her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Hello, my name is Jing Shaoyu. I'm truly sorry about what happened last night!" Jing Shaoyu walked up beside Gu Yue with a bright, sunny smile and extended his hand.

"My name is Gu Yue." Under the astonished gazes of the Class Five cadets, a faint blush appeared on Gu Yue's face. She reached out with one small hand and shook Jing Shaoyu's, then quickly let go. She answered in an even tone before leaving thoughtfully.

Watching Gu Yue's departing figure, Jing Shaoyu's smile grew even brighter.

"Little Yu Brother, let's go eat!" Xu Xiaoyan skipped over to Jing Shaoyu's side and said sweetly.

"Alright, let's eat." Jing Shaoyu agreed with a smile.

Xu Xiaoyan took Jing Shaoyu's hand on her own initiative, her smile blooming like a flower. She had actually seen what had just happened between Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue. At first, she had felt a little jealous, but once she saw Gu Yue's appearance, all her vigilance vanished. Although Gu Yue could be considered quite delicate and pretty, she still seemed somewhat ordinary compared to Xu Xiaoyan.

Though Gu Yue had a unique and captivating temperament, Xu Xiaoyan remained very confident in her own looks and bearing. Over the years, the only person who had ever made her feel threatened and defeated was Na'er.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoyan did not take Gu Yue seriously at all, completely unaware that her Little Yu Brother and Gu Yue, whom she did not consider a threat, were in some sense moving toward each other.

Academy life was simple and dull. As the First Year freshmen adapted to life at the academy, they welcomed their first day off.

Xu Xiaoyan had been dragged home by Xu Xiaoyu the previous evening. Jing Shaoyu, meanwhile, planned to visit the Mecha Association. That morning, he had received a call from Wu Mian of the Mecha Association. Wu Mian told him that the test results for the Reconnaissance Flying Bird were out. It had ultimately been rated as a Level Three Military-Civilian Soul Guidance Device. This was not too far from Jing Shaoyu's expectations, but he was still very happy. After all, he was about to gain another two to five million Federal Currency. Anyone would be happy about that.

In high spirits, Jing Shaoyu rode his bicycle out of the academy gates, only to be stopped.

"Where are you going?" Gu Yue stopped Jing Shaoyu's bicycle. There was no expression on her delicate face as she asked.

"To the Mecha Association," Jing Shaoyu replied with a smile.

"I'm going with you!" the girl said in an unquestionable tone. Then she directly sat sideways on the back seat of Jing Shaoyu's bicycle and skillfully wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Hehe!" Jing Shaoyu wanted to tease her about how practiced she seemed, but he sensed that her body was a little stiff. Understanding, he smiled and reminded her, "Sit tight. We're setting off!"

The bicycle slowly left the academy gates.

"Did I see that right?" A Class Five cadet rubbed his eyes in disbelief and muttered, "Was that Gu Yue just now? That can't be possible, right?"

Jing Shaoyu was an excellent cyclist. No matter what the road conditions were like, he always rode smoothly over them. The jade-like arms around his waist gradually softened, and the smile on his face grew brighter. She was the third girl he had ever given a ride to, and the first to be so awkward and bashful. But it was not her fault. Na'er and Xu Xiaoyan had both known him for a long time, whereas he and Gu Yue had only truly spent five or six days together.

"What are you going to the Mecha Association for?" Jing Shaoyu asked.

"Nothing," Gu Yue answered indifferently.

"Then where do you want to go afterward? I can take you there," Jing Shaoyu asked again.

"Nowhere," Gu Yue said. "Where are you going?"

"Me?" Jing Shaoyu smiled. "Of course, I'm going home."

"Alright, then I'll go home with you!" A flicker passed through Gu Yue's eyes as she said it.

"Huh?" Jing Shaoyu had not expected her to be so direct. Somewhat surprised, he teased, "We've only known each other for a week, and you already want to come home with me? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"It's fine. I don't mind," Gu Yue said evenly.

"Uh... hahaha, alright then!" Jing Shaoyu laughed awkwardly.

After arriving at the Mecha Association, Jing Shaoyu parked his bicycle by the roadside and invited Gu Yue to go upstairs with him. However, Gu Yue shook her head in refusal and told him to go quickly and come back quickly.

With no other choice, Jing Shaoyu jogged all the way to the twenty-third floor of the Mecha Manufacturer Association. Wu Mian and the supervisor in charge of Soul Guidance Device distribution and sales at the Mecha Association had been waiting for him for quite some time. All the paperwork had already been completed, and they were only waiting for him, the designer, to sign and stamp it.

Since he already had two or three experiences with this, Jing Shaoyu quickly finished everything he needed to do.

"Good kid, you've made the association spend another fortune this time!" Wu Mian said with feeling as he patted Jing Shaoyu on the shoulder.

"Hehe, how can you call it spending? Isn't this research funding from the association?" Jing Shaoyu replied with a grin.

Without lingering any longer, Jing Shaoyu bid Wu Mian farewell. Gu Yue was still waiting downstairs for him, after all. He could not let that young lady get impatient.

When he walked out of the Mecha Association, Gu Yue was sitting on the bicycle, leaning forward as she stared blankly into space out of boredom. When she saw Jing Shaoyu emerge, a smile immediately appeared on her face, but she quickly hid it as though she did not want him to see it.

However, Jing Shaoyu had already seen it. He walked over to the bicycle with a smile and said, "Gu Yue, you look really beautiful when you smile. Smile more often in the future, alright?"

"..." Gu Yue lowered her head without saying a word, but the upward curve of her lips showed that she was happy.

"Alright, let's go home." Jing Shaoyu shook his head helplessly, got onto the bicycle, and reminded her, "Hold on tight. I'm going to speed up next!"

The bicycle shot forward like the wind. Gu Yue instinctively tightened her arms around Jing Shaoyu's waist, then rested her head against his back. It was warm, comfortable, and more reassuring than anything she had ever felt before. Gradually, she became a little intoxicated. She seemed to understand why that other her could not forget this person.

When the bicycle stopped outside Jing Shaoyu's home, Gu Yue raised her head in dissatisfaction, intending to question why he had suddenly stopped. Then she heard Jing Shaoyu say, "Get off. We're home."

Gu Yue looked at the house, which was both unfamiliar and familiar, and for a moment, she felt flustered and at a loss.

"Mom, Aunt, I'm back!" Jing Shaoyu had already entered the courtyard and called out. Today was a day off, so he was not worried that Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin would be absent.

Sure enough, Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin emerged from the house shortly afterward. Jing Ziyuan happily walked toward Jing Shaoyu and said, "You're back! How's the new school? Are you used to dorm life? Is the cafeteria food good?"

The string of questions left Jing Shaoyu unsure how to answer for a moment, so he decisively chose to change the subject. "Mom, I brought a classmate home."

As he spoke, he turned to Gu Yue, who was still standing blankly at the entrance, and called, "Gu Yue, what are you doing? Come in!"

Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin were both stunned. Then they looked at Gu Yue with curious, probing, appraising gazes. They found it exceptionally novel, because this was the first time in years that Jing Shaoyu had voluntarily brought a classmate home—and it was even a female classmate. Even Xu Xiaoyan had never received such treatment!

Under the gazes of the two middle-aged women, Gu Yue walked into the courtyard and came to Jing Shaoyu's side. Even with her formidable mental fortitude, her earlobes could not help turning red.

"Mom, Aunt, this is Gu Yue. She's a friend I just met at the academy," Jing Shaoyu introduced Gu Yue to Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin, then introduced Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin to Gu Yue. "Gu Yue, this is my mom and aunt."

"Mom... hello, Aunt. I'm Gu Yue. You can just call me Yue'er." Gu Yue nearly gave herself away the moment she opened her mouth. Although she corrected herself in time, such a mortifying mistake still made her little face turn bright red. Secretly annoyed, she blamed that other her for nearly making her call them that out of habit.

"Good, good! Hello!" Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin could not help exchanging a glance. Although the girl named Gu Yue was not as delicate and adorable as Xu Xiaoyan, she had an excellent temperament and was very sensible. Most importantly, she was the first girl A Yu had ever brought home. Both women revealed satisfied expressions. Jing Ziyuan said, "A Yu, take Yue'er inside and let her sit for a while. Your Aunt Lin Xin and I are going to buy groceries."

"Alright!" Jing Shaoyu had taken in all of Gu Yue's awkwardness and was nearly laughing himself sick inside, but he maintained a calm expression on the surface. "Come on, Yue'er. I'll show you around my house."

"You..." Gu Yue was infuriated when Jing Shaoyu called her Yue'er and wanted to lose her temper, but with Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin still present, she could only agree resentfully, "Sure, A Yu Gege!"

Gu Yue was now deeply regretting following Jing Shaoyu home.
