Chapter 555: Chapter 555 The Cost is Being Her Boyfriend
Shen Heyu’s heart raced, a worried expression on her face as she looked at Gu Siyu. She was genuinely concerned that Gu Siyu would mention a price she could never afford in her lifetime.
However, she didn’t hear Gu Siyu’s response, because Song Miaoyu answered for him.
Hearing Song Miaoyu’s answer, Shen Heyu felt it was unbelievable for a moment.
Song Miaoyu walked over to Gu Siyu’s side, took his hand, and coolly hooked up the corner of her mouth, revealing a victor’s smile.
“When Gu Siyu first went abroad for his studies, he was a real catch. So many women threw themselves at him, but he never spared them a second glance, and God knows how many hearts he broke.”
“Later, because he excelled in his major, he was chosen by my mentor and joined our underground laboratory.”
“From the first moment I saw him, I fell head over heels for him and pursued him relentlessly for years, but he never wavered and never gave me a second glance.”
“I thought I would never have a chance with him in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, a pie fell from the sky.”
“This time, to get me to come to Hua Country to make the antidote for your daughter, he agreed to my condition. If the toxins in your daughter’s body are successfully removed, he will become my boyfriend.”
“How about that? Isn’t his sacrifice for you huge? Are you moved?” Song Miaoyu raised her eyebrows handsomely at Shen Heyu.
Last time, after hearing what Hu Xiaoqiu had said, Shen Heyu had guessed that it surely cost Gu Siyu both money and effort to ask his senior sister to come out of retirement.
But she had never thought that he would go so far as to sell himself.
Shen Heyu’s mind went blank, and she didn’t know what to say.
Gu Siyu quietly pulled his hand back from Song Miaoyu’s grip, smiled helplessly, and said, “Senior sister, why bring up this matter when we are pressed for time? You better hurry and make the antidote.”
“So you came to see me today to give the woman you love a peace of mind, to stop worrying about her daughter’s safety?” Song Miaoyu, being extremely smart, guessed Gu Siyu’s intentions at a glance.
“Would it be too cruel if I just admitted that directly to you?”
“It is indeed a bit cruel for me, but I don’t have time to be sad now, as I have even more important matters waiting for me.”
Song Miaoyu generously admitted it, and Gu Siyu felt much relieved after hearing her words.
“It’s just like you, my senior sister, so I won’t distract you from your important tasks. We’ll leave now.”
After greeting Song Miaoyu, Gu Siyu left the highly secured villa.
On the way back, Shen Heyu felt as if her soul had run away from home; she was in a vacuum state.
She blankly watched the landscape receding outside the car window, unsure of how to face Gu Siyu.
“Why did you become so silent after seeing my world? I thought seeing her would make you trust her more and be confident, no longer worrying about Yuexue’s condition.”
“I do trust her capabilities, and I’m not so worried about Yuexue’s condition anymore,” Shen Heyu took a deep breath.
“So, are you worried about me?”
“Worried that I would feel wronged and distressed for agreeing to my senior sister’s condition to get her to help?” Gu Siyu looked at Shen Heyu earnestly.
Shen Heyu was silent for a moment before finally turning to meet Gu Siyu’s eyes seriously.
“I do have those concerns, and I don’t know how to thank you. Your sacrifice is simply too great.”
“Why do you feel that my agreeing to my senior sister’s condition is a loss for me?”
“Do you like her?” Shen Heyu pressed.
“The person I like is not unknown to you, but I must say, I really admire my senior sister. She is beautiful and capable.”
“Who wouldn’t be happy to have such a woman as a girlfriend? Especially since the line of her admirers could stretch all the way beyond the Great Wall.”
“But I don’t see a trace of happiness on your face,” Shen Heyu noticed a trace of sorrow on Gu Siyu’s face.
“Maybe it’s because my senior sister is too outstanding. She shines bright like a glowing pearl, making me stand beside her appear dull and plain like dirt.”
“No, you and your senior sister are equally outstanding, and if two strong people come together, that kind of evenly matched feeling should be great.”
“If that person hadn’t appeared, I probably would have fallen deeply in love with her. But my heart already belongs to someone else.”
Gu Siyu didn’t openly say his heart already had Shen Heyu in it because the situation no longer allowed him to express his love so directly.
Song Miaoyu would definitely make the antidote within three days, and then, he would fulfill his promise to become Song Miaoyu’s boyfriend.
If he were with his senior sister, he couldn’t entertain thoughts about Shen Heyu any longer, or it would be unfaithful to Song Miaoyu.
“Why apologize all of a sudden?” Gu Siyu seemed to comfort Shen Heyu with a smile.
“Because my situation has put you in such a difficult position, I feel very sorry.”
Shen Heyu sincerely apologized to Gu Siyu, although she wasn’t sure if Gu Siyu would accept it.
“You don’t need to feel guilty, because you are naturally a radiant gem. Anyone who sees you would fall for you; it’s your charm. Being loved by so many isn’t your fault.”
“If someone falls for you and goes to any length to have you, even to the point of hurting you, that’s their fault, not yours.”
Hearing his words, Shen Heyu felt a moment of relief in her heart.
“In about three days, I might have to become my senior sister’s boyfriend, and afterwards, I won’t be able to talk about such deep topics with you.”
Gu Siyu truly felt reluctant; he didn’t want his relationship with Shen Heyu to deteriorate.
“I’m sorry, but thank you.”
“If you really feel sorry and grateful to me, could you grant me one request?” Gu Siyu looked earnestly into Shen Heyu’s eyes, his gaze filled with sincere love.
“These three days, could you be my girlfriend, to let me experience what it’s like to be in love with you?” Gu Siyu wasn’t joking; he had actually thought about it long before.
Shen Heyu looked at Gu Siyu in surprise.
“If you find it difficult, you can refuse. I won’t force you,” Gu Siyu reassured her with a smile.
Since he had already done so much for Shen Heyu, she might as well pretend to be his girlfriend for three days.
Shen Heyu agreed, “Okay.”
