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

Chapter 318 I'd Rather Be Deceived by You
When Lu Youyou got home that evening, she had just finished showering and was drying her hair when Gu Qingye brought in a plate of sliced ​​watermelon and took the towel from her hand.

Lu Youyou ate a piece herself, then raised her hand to feed Gu Qingye another piece.

"I went to the General Staff Headquarters today."

"Ok, I know."

"You know?" Lu Youyou asked in surprise.

"Institute 507 would like to invite you to come over."

Gu Qingye kept working with his hands, and when the cloth was half-dry, he let her lean against him and gently massaged her shoulders, neck and arms.

Lu Youyou almost groaned out of comfort: "Aren't you going to try to persuade me?"

Why try to persuade them?

"Didn't Director Luo ask you to act as a mediator?" Lu Youyou looked up at him, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Gu Qingye cupped her face in his hands, leaned down, and kissed her: "I follow my wife's lead."

Lu Youyou laughed out loud, tilted her head back and bumped into him, hitting his abs right on the bouncy texture. She couldn't help but rub against him a few more times.

Looking at the strong, handsome features so close to her, Lu Youyou suddenly thought of when they first met.

She bumped her head repeatedly against the eight sharp-edged squares at the back of her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Comrade Gu, you weren't like this before."

"What was I like before?" Gu Qingye asked softly, making one's heart flutter.

“I used to speak very briefly and flatly, without much emotion,” Lu Youyou recalled. “The first time I met you, you looked at me with an incredibly fierce gaze.”

Gu Qingye's thoughts also returned to the day they first met...

He drank the drugged wine and when he opened his eyes, he saw a disheveled woman lying next to him.

"Did you think I was an enemy agent back then?" Lu Youyou asked with a sly smile.

Gu Qingye paused for a moment, his ears felt slightly hot, and then he hummed in helpless agreement.

"I thought someone was using a honey trap. Back then... I even investigated it specifically..."

Gu Qingye sat down on the sofa with Lu Youyou in his arms, looking into her eyes, afraid that she would be angry because of this.

To his surprise, Lu Youyou laughed heartily and pinched the flesh on his cheeks, kneading it a few times.

"I did use my beauty to seduce you, just to deceive your body and your heart."

Gu Qingye did not resist at all, but simply leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers, from her brow to her chin.

"Yes, I'm willing to be lied to by you."

As Gu Qingye spoke, he pecked her lips repeatedly.

“I’m so glad I went back to Qiaoshan Village that day, so glad you were willing to believe me, and so glad you chose me.”

Lu Youyou leaned back, panting, "You never used to say such sweet things."

"No nice words were said."

"what is that?"

Sweet words.

Lu Youyou smiled as she examined the man before her. A thirty-year-old man was indeed at the age of maturity, and he suited her in every way, inside and out.

Lu Youyou's work arrangements were causing concern for far more than just the three of them. After she declined the offer from Institute 507, she even received numerous requests from Gu Bohuai.

Some people can be dealt with perfunctorily, but others are his old leaders and acquaintances. Even if Gu Bohuai claims he doesn't know, no one will believe him.

He could only ask Gu Qingye, but no matter how he asked, it was a headache.

He knew Gu Qingye's personality all too well. Whenever Lu Youyou was involved, there was only one principle: she had the final say.

"Qingye, how has Youyou been since you came back? Has she adjusted to the time difference?" Gu Bohuai held the phone, carefully considering how to ask.

"pretty good."

Gu Bohuai was used to Gu Qingye's brevity, so he stopped beating around the bush: "What are Youyou's plans? What are her thoughts on work?"

"She decided to stay at the university to teach."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Ah."

Gu Bohuai secretly regretted it. He knew all too well how much Lu Youyou had contributed, and the system had heard about it to some extent, otherwise everyone would have wanted to snatch her away.

It might work on someone else with reason and emotion, but it simply doesn't work on Lu Youyou.

Gu Bohuai knew that since Gu Qingye had said so, Lu Youyou must have already made her decision, and there was no point in trying to persuade her otherwise.

"Teachers have winter and summer vacations, and the environment is relatively simple, which is great."

Gu Qingye raised an eyebrow. He thought he would hear some so-called "suggestions," which was fine.

Lu Youyou went to Tsinghua University to complete her onboarding procedures, and Tsinghua University made an exception and had its first associate professor who spanned two departments, and was also the youngest associate professor.

If looks could kill, Dean Qian would be riddled with wounds by now, but with the appointment letter in hand, what's a few more glares?

Luo Youliang couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. From now on, he could only imagine how amazing it would be if Lu Youyou focused on just one subject.

"Are you satisfied?"

"Hey Lao Luo, why do you seem to be getting less and less enlightened as you get older? Comrade Lu should shine in more fields as long as he is capable. Keeping things to himself is not a good habit!"

"Humph!"

"I'll take that as a congratulation. I need to go back and get the sign up quickly. We have a new person in the hospital, so we need to promote them properly!"

"Eh, eh!"

Luo Youliang couldn't get anyone back even when he reached out, which made him so angry that he was furious but helpless. However, since the formalities were already completed, his precious child was destined to be given away in half.

After completing the formalities, Lu Youyou prepared to go back. She would not officially start teaching until the new semester in the second half of the year. During this time, she could prepare lessons or start projects whenever she wanted.

She walked through the school wearing a light trench coat, and students kept turning around to look at her.

"Comrade Lu? Are you Comrade Lu Youyou?"

Lu Youyou turned around and felt that the girl in front of her looked familiar: "Who are you?"

"Comrade Lu, I am a third-year marine engineering student. I heard your report two years ago."

Lu Youyou remembered that before she went abroad, Luo Youliang asked her to give a speech to the newly enrolled freshmen, euphemistically called "encouraging learning".

That time, a 20-minute Q&A session was also scheduled, and this girl grabbed the last chance to ask a question.

"It's you, Qi. Hello."

The female classmate immediately covered her mouth, overjoyed: "Comrade Lu, you still remember me?!"

"Hmm, you asked me what the use of studying marine engineering is."

The girl's face turned bright red. Why would the senior remember her embarrassing past?!
Back then, she somehow managed to get into Tsinghua University with exceptional performance, and she also somehow chose an unpopular major. At that time, she was feeling lost about the future. When she heard that there was a lecture by an outstanding graduate, she went with a head full of questions.

Lu Youyou's speech undoubtedly painted a bright future for her, making someone who knew nothing about marine engineering understand what she could do in the future.

Looking back now, her question was incredibly silly, but Lu Youyou's answer that day was very patient.

Over the past three years, she had heard countless "legends" about Lu Youyou and admired this amazing senior student immensely. It was just a pity that Lu Youyou went abroad after she enrolled.

Now, when she sees her idol again, she can't contain her excitement.

"Comrade Lu, do you have a few questions for me?"
