1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 252 The World's Immense Inertia

What happened back then must never be mentioned. Given Du Yuelan's jealous nature, if she knew that he had once had feelings for Lu Youyou, she would never let it go.

If Du Yuelan could take action to deal with them, that would be great, but there was no time to plan in such a rush, and without absolute certainty, he was afraid that in the end, everything would fall apart.

"Lanlan, can't you feel my heart for you? I just wanted to say, 'Time will tell,' and I will spend my whole life proving my sincerity!"

Du Yuelan frowned. There was no doubt that her heart was now entirely focused on Gu Shuchen, and she subconsciously wanted to believe his explanation.

Could it be that she misheard?

Du Yuelan didn't actually want to doubt it, because that would make her seem foolish and blind to have fallen for a fickle scoundrel.

She looked at Gu Shuchen with a skeptical expression: "You're not lying to me?"

"Of course not, why would I lie to you! We've known each other for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Gu Shuchen reached out his hand, then pretended to want to hug him but hesitated: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid of getting your clothes dirty."

He wasn't actually tainted, but he had to maintain his image as a considerate person at all times.

Perhaps it was Gu Shuchen's superb acting skills, or perhaps love truly makes people blind; in any case, Du Yuelan's attitude softened.

However, her willingness to give her boyfriend a chance to change his ways does not mean she will let Lu Youyou off the hook.

If it weren't for the seduction of that vixen, why would Gu Shuchen even glance at her?
The next day, Du Yuelan arrived at the laboratory building early, which was unusual for her. She knew that Lu Youyou usually came in the afternoon, so she waited from morning until afternoon.

"Stop!"

The sharp shout didn't frighten Lu Youyou; instead, it startled passersby, causing them to stumble and fall.

With Du Yuelan as the center, everyone within a one-meter radius quickly dispersed, knowing that she was a pampered young lady and that it was better to avoid her than to offend her.

Lu Youyou's mind was full of the experiments she hadn't finished that morning, and she didn't realize at all that Du Yuelan was waiting for her.

She walked through the vacuum without looking to either side, as if the tigress blocking her way didn't exist at all.

Du Yuelan's eyelids twitched with anger. How dare this woman?!

She reached out to grab the person, but Lu Youyou's mind was occupied while her instincts remained, and she turned around and moved away from the center of the accident.

His cold gaze fell on Du Yuelan, but quickly passed over her, ignoring her fiery eyes as he continued walking towards the stairs.

"Hey you, surnamed Lu, stop right there!"

The call of name finally made Lu Youyou stop in her tracks.

"Is something wrong?"

The overly cold voice fueled Du Yuelan's anger, and before she could speak, Lu Youyou glanced around.

Everyone who made eye contact with her turned and left. They still wanted to hear the gossip, but they didn't dare to stand there and listen.

Both are people with mysterious backgrounds, but one is a complete idiot and the other is a real big shot. Neither of them can be offended.

Du Yuelan originally wanted to expose Lu Youyou's true colors, but hesitated for a moment before she could say it.

If Gu Shuchen's reputation were tarnished, she would also lose face, which is why she let the onlookers disperse.

"Lu Youyou, others may not know your background, but they can't hide it from me."

"You've finally gotten to where you are today, couldn't you just behave yourself? We were supposed to keep to ourselves, but you absolutely shouldn't have coveted someone else's partner!"

When Lu Youyou realized that the so-called "object" referred to Gu Shuchen, a clear and melodious laugh rang out, each frame piercing Du Yuelan's eyes.

"What are you laughing at?!" Du Yuelan felt inexplicably humiliated; she was certain she had seen disdain in the eyes of the person opposite her. Lu Youyou didn't want to explain things to her; it was such a pity to break up a couple who had hit it off so well.

"Are you done?"

Du Yuelan's mind went blank for a moment: "What did you say?"

Lu Youyou shook her head, there was nothing to say to a fool who lived in a vacuum.

Du Yuelan couldn't accept that after waiting for so long to finally catch the person, it all ended in a disappointing failure.

She was so angry that she wanted to grab the person again, but she was frightened by a pair of sharp, sword-like eyes.

"Comrade Du, I am already married. My husband is a soldier. I advise you to think carefully about your actions."

The onlookers, hiding in the corners, behind doors, and in front of windows, stared wide-eyed in silence.

Agricultural University is not Tsinghua University, and Lu Youyou doesn't stay here every day. Most people are hearing this big news for the first time.

In just a few minutes, a huge amount of information was conveyed, and countless eyes went back and forth between the two.

Du Yuelan had never been publicly humiliated in her entire life. What kind of person is Lu Youyou? She's a young woman and she's acting all high and mighty!

In a moment of impulsiveness, she was about to expose the "truth" when she was silenced by a dignified middle-aged male voice.

"What are you doing? This is a school, not a place for some people to show off their power!"

Lu Guangfu strode over, followed by Lu Fang and others. Each of them looked at Lu Youyou with concern, but when they turned to Du Yuelan, their faces became full of vigilance.

The blatant discrimination made Du Yuelan grit her teeth. Why? What made Lu Youyou better than her?!
However, she hadn't completely lost her mind. Although Lü Guangfu was only the group leader, his background was not simple, and she couldn't act recklessly in front of him.

Du Yuelan's chest heaved violently, but in the end she said nothing, snorted, and turned to leave.

When facing Lu Youyou, Lü Guangfu immediately switched to a gentle mode. He told the others to leave first, while he and Lu Youyou stayed until the end.

"Comrade Du, she..." Lu Guangfu paused before continuing, "Xiao Lu, just ignore her normally. You focus on your studies, she can't do anything to you."

The veiled advice was tantamount to saying outright that Du Yuelan was a troublemaker, that she couldn't be driven away, but that ignoring her would solve the problem, and he could handle everything else.

Although Lu Youyou was not afraid, she still thanked him for his care.

Du Yuelan's commotion was all bark and no bite, and didn't have much impact on Lu Youyou's life.

But she was unhappy, and Gu Shuchen's life became quite difficult.

He was strictly forbidden from coming to the Agricultural University again, and Du Yuelan did not allow him any possibility of seeing Lu Youyou again.

Gu Shuchen was secretly anxious. Ever since Lu Youyou appeared, it was as if an invisible rope was tied around his neck, and he didn't know when it would tighten.

He had no information at all; he was in a very passive position.

But every time he steered the conversation in that direction, Du Yuelan would look suspicious, which only caused him more trouble.

Leaving aside how the scumbag will further clear his name, Lu Youyou heard another piece of fresh gossip from Gu Qingye.

"You mean Gu Shuchen is already married in the countryside?"

"Yes, her name is Sun Pan'er."

The memory was so distant that it took Lu Youyou a while to remember who Sun Pan'er was.

That educated youth, whose heart was only set on that scumbag, couldn't bear the hardships of rural life. She was willing to be a moth drawn to a flame, gambling away the rest of her life, and then eagerly threw herself at the scumbag.

It seems that Sun Pan'er has gotten what she wanted, but it remains to be seen whether she will face the same tragic fate as depicted in the book.
