Love as a Weapon: A Tsundere Player in a Transmigration Game

22. I am Not Your Mr. Gu (7)

Translator: Annsmiley

Nan Yu’s voice lingered in Gu Dongye’s ears like a moving piece of music.

“I can help you.” What a pleasant sentence it was!

In the dark of the night, Gu Dongye’s vision got blurry. Back then, wasn’t that all what he wanted? When he was desperate, all he wanted was that someone would offer to help him.

And now, Nan Yu said that face to face to him. He said that he could help him!

“Xiao Ye, I know that you might think I have an ulterior motive when I said that. But regardless of what I think as an individual, as a teacher, I don’t want society to lose a promising talent like you.”

Nan Yu said seriously.

“I know that you might not be able to accept it now, but I hope you know that it is an opportunity to you. I can be your sponsor. And I’m doing it purely for your own good.”

Hearing Nan Yu’s words, Gu Dongye’s fighting spirit got boosted.

“Xiao Ye, did you hear what I just said?”

“Yes, I heard it,” Gu Dongye’s voice was a little hoarse, revealing mixed moods.

“Then are you willing to come back to school?”

“I…”

“Xiao Ye, you don’t have to say much. I know you’re willing,” Nan Yu interrupted, afraid that Gu Dongye would refuse.

“Mmm,” Gu Dongye did not deny it.

In the darkness, Gu Dongye turned over and looked at the back of Nan Yu’s head.

‘What had I done to make you think that I deserved your help?’

“Oh yes, Xiao Ye, now that you’re going back to school, I think that you should move to my house, so I can help you review the lessons.”

“By the way, what did you choose to study, liberal arts or general science? I am class teacher of science students. If you are an art student, I will ask a teacher who has expertise in liberal arts to help you make up for the lessons you’ve missed.”

“General science.”

“In that case, I’ll tell the principal to let you go to my class, but you might have to take a test. And don’t worry about it. I’ll help you make up the missed lessons.”

Nan Yu didn’t know why, but when it came to the matter of Gu Dongye going back to school, he couldn’t help but talk nonstop. Words just kept slipping out of his mouth.

Gu Dongye just listened to him and suddenly Nan Yu turned around.

“Xiao Ye, do you…?”

In the darkness, Gu Dongye met those gentle eyes of Nan Yu’s. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. And Gu Dongye could hear his heart beating faster.

Nan Yu was also stunned. Why did he feel that he was so indescribably familiar with those eyes of Gu Dongye’s?

“Got it,” Gu Dongye turned his gaze away before Nan Yu did, because he felt that if he continued looking into his eyes, his heart would beat so fast that it would jump up to his mouth.

“Mmm, that’s it then. It’s late. Time to sleep. Good night,” Nan Yu said softly, and then turned back.

“Good night,” Gu Dongye replied.

He didn’t turn around. Instead, he just stared at the back of Nan Yu’s head.

‘Just now my heart was beating so fast. Was it something that only people in love could experience?’

With uncertainty in his mind, Gu Dongye fell asleep.

…

“Xiao Ye, let’s go. Take me to your place. I’ll help you pack your stuff.”

“No need. I don’t have much stuff. I can do it myself.”

Gu Dongye rejected it right away. He didn’t want Nan Yu to go to the dark basement where he stayed. He didn’t want Nan Yu to see how dirty that place was.

“Xiao Ye, let me drive you there. It’s more time-saving that way. You know, you still need to make up the lessons that you’ve missed. After I explain your situation to the headmaster, you’ll need to take a test. Our efforts won’t be in vain if you can get good grades in the test. Therefore, we need to seize every second.”

“Mmm.”

How could Gu Dongye refuse after everything that Nan Yu said?

Nan Yu drove while Gu Dongye showed him the way. 20 minutes later, they arrived at a building that was in danger of collapsing.

At first, Nan Yu thought that Gu Dongye lived upstairs, but he didn’t expect Gu Dongye to take him downstairs to the basement.

It was not until the elevator went downwards that Nan Yu realized that Gu Dongye was living in the basement. Looking at the iron door, Nan Yu had complicated feelings.

For those who lived upstairs, it was safer. At least they would have a chance to escape if the building collapsed. However, for those who lived in the dark basement, they wouldn’t even have the chance to run away if the building collapsed. They would be buried underground for good.

If they were lucky enough, they would be saved when the fire brigade came, but if luck didn’t favor them, they could be buried alive right here.

Thinking of this, Nan Yu couldn’t help but feel sorry for the little guy who came from the countryside.

Gu Dongye led Nan Yu all the way to the innermost room where Gu Dongye opened the rusty lock with a key.

When the door opened, the first thing that they saw was a neatly tidied single bed. There wasn’t enough space for anything else except for a narrow passageway. Behind the bed, there was a door separating the sleeping area from the rest parts of the room. Nan Yu guessed that behind that door were the kitchen and the bathroom.

“Take a seat. I’ll be done soon.”

“Do you need my help?” Nan Yu offered his help, but it seemed that there wasn’t much for him to do. The room was not big, and except for some clothes, there wasn’t anything else to pack.

“No need.”

As Gu Dongye said, he was done pretty soon. He packed all his clothes, and except for an old denim backpack, he’d got nothing else.

“You’ve packed everything?” Nan Yu asked with uncertainty when he saw Gu Dongye carrying only one bag. It had only been ten minutes since they came here and it was all done.

“Mmm, I’ve packed everything. I just need to return the key to the landlord.”

“Let’s go then. I’ll help you carry your bag.”

As Nan Yu said that, he extended his hands to carry the backpack for Gu Dongye, but Gu Dongye didn’t give him the chance. He just carried it on his shoulders.

“No need, I can do it myself. You can wait for me in the car. I’ll go return the key to the landlord.”

Nan Yu nodded when he heard that. It was more appropriate for him to wait for Gu Dongye in the car.

After waiting in the car for a while, he saw Gu Dongye coming over from afar. Gu Dongye got into the car and fastened the seat belt. Then Nan Yu drove back to his apartment.

Along the way, Gu Dongye wondered why Nan Yu was helping him. Was it just because he was a teacher?

When they got back, it was already lunchtime. At this time, Nan Yu looked embarrassed. After all, the dishes he made were…

“Xiao Ye, do you know how to cook?” Nan Yu could only ask Gu Dongye if he could cook. After all, it was the first day that Gu Dongye stayed at his place and he couldn’t possibly let him eat takeout food.

“Yeah.”

Gu Dongye looked at Nan Yu who looked gentle and a little bit embarrassed and he seemed to get it.

‘Does he not know how to cook?’

And as Gu Dongye expected, the next second, Nan Yu said, “Then you will make lunch today.”

With a smile on his face, Nan Yu looked at Gu Dongye triumphantly.

Gu Dongye nodded, “Okay.”

“The ingredients are in the fridge. Then I’ll be expecting the food you make.”
