Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 366 Who are you to me?

Once Lu Chuang accepted the label "Uncle Gu," he had no intention of changing it. That night, he genuinely treated him with the respect due to an elder, behaving exceptionally well and politely.

The lights were already off when they entered, and it was pitch black inside. Lu Chuang fully utilized his junior's agility and politeness, and after finding his seat, he even helped his Uncle Gu to his seat.

Gu Juncheng tightened his arms, causing the muscles on his arms to bulge. He himself didn't understand why, with his physique, he didn't look like someone who needed to be helped.

Lu Chuang realized what was happening and felt a little embarrassed. He said softly, "Uncle, please sit down. I'm used to taking care of the elderly at home, hehe."

First, please have Gu Juncheng sit down. He himself will sit in the middle, with Lu Chuang between Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng.

Gu Juncheng sat down and looked over at Lin Qingping. Lin Qingping mouthed "Uncle" to him.

Gu Juncheng's face darkened, but Lin Qingping rolled her eyes at him and turned her head away.

The concert begins.

Lin Qingping never expected that a concert she had no intention of attending would so deeply captivate her.

"Night at the Naval Port," "Young Friends Come to Meet"...

These are all songs I was very familiar with when I was young in my past life, and the singers are ones I only saw on black and white TVs.

Perhaps it was the power of the music that made her feel a strong sense of reliving her youth.

I once saw a passage online in my past life. I don't remember the exact words, but it roughly meant: I hope that when I wake up, I'm still sitting in my senior year of high school, with the teacher lecturing on the podium, and everything I've experienced was just a dream.

As the familiar song played, everything from her past life seemed like a dream, and now was her real life.

She listened intently from beginning to end, unaware that her eyes had reddened and her cheeks had become wet...

After listening, she realized that her eyes were sore and her skin was tight.

She quickly rubbed her face, erasing the traces of her emotions.

Lu Chuang was in high spirits, and he was also brewing a plan in his mind. The venue was dark, and he didn't notice anything unusual. He still escorted his Uncle Gu and Lin Qingping out of the concert hall with a particularly well-behaved and polite demeanor.

Once outside, Lu Chuang dawdled and hesitated, stammering for a long time, as if the three of them would have to separate if he didn't speak soon.

He finally mustered his courage, stood in front of Gu Juncheng, and said with a blush, "Uncle, I'd like to go for a walk alone with Comrade Lin, is that alright?"

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Juncheng's reply, she turned to Lin Qingping and said, "Comrade Lin, is it alright? I... I have something I want to tell you."

Gu Juncheng's voice was cold, sending a chill down one's spine even in the sweltering summer heat. "Can't you say things openly and honestly?"

Lu Chuang panicked and grabbed Gu Juncheng's arm, shaking it and pleading, "Uncle Gu, there's something I really can't say in front of you!"

Gu Juncheng got goosebumps all over his body and shook off Lu Chuang's hand.

Lin Qingping uttered a crisp "Good!"

"Comrade Lin!" Lu Chuang exclaimed with delight.

"Lin Qingping!" Gu Juncheng gritted his teeth, his face very unpleasant.

Lu Chuang panicked upon hearing this and grabbed his arm, pleading, "Uncle Gu, please don't be angry. You can scold me if you want! It's my fault for wanting to talk to Comrade Lin. You can hit me or scold me, just don't blame Comrade Lin, okay?"

There were streetlights outside the concert hall. Gu Juncheng looked at Lu Chuang's young, somewhat childish face and Lin Qingping, who was also full of youthful energy behind Lu Chuang, and his facial muscles seemed to freeze.

Lu Chuang pleaded, "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I will protect Comrade Lin. I will also abide by the law, be polite and sensible. It'll only be for a little while, and then I promise to take Comrade Lin home safely!"

Gu Juncheng's gaze passed over Lu Chuang and locked firmly on Lin Qingping's face. "You're going?"

These three short words were so powerful that Lu Chuang was frightened. Fearing that Gu Juncheng, an elder, would be harsh on Lin Qingping, he was even considering giving up.

Lin Qingping resolutely replied, "Yes."

That stubbornness and determination startled Lu Chuang once again.

After that, Gu Juncheng and Lin Qingping were locked in a long staring contest and stalemate.

Both men had sharp and determined eyes, neither willing to back down. Their chilling aura made Lu Chuang feel that the two were about to fight.

Lu Chuang panicked. He called out to Uncle Gu, "Don't be angry," and to Comrade Lin, "Let me talk to Uncle Gu properly." He said it at least ten times, but neither of them seemed to hear him.

Lu Chuangchou's...

Finally, Gu Juncheng's gaze relaxed first. "Okay, go ahead."

After saying that, his tense body relaxed.

He turned and headed towards the bus stop.

Behind him, he could vaguely hear Lu Chuang asking, "Comrade Lin, will Uncle Gu beat you when he gets back?"

He calls him "uncle" but treats her like an equal?

Ah, Gu Juncheng quickened his pace.

It was already 10 o'clock when the show ended.

After lingering outside for quite a while, Gu Juncheng didn't get home until eleven o'clock after leaving the performance venue.

At 11:30, Gu Juncheng arrived home and encountered He Qiancheng and his group who had just returned.

He Qiancheng expressed his incomprehension regarding Gu Juncheng standing guard at his doorstep.

Wei Zhonghua added, "You were kicked out by your sister-in-law?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

"Get out of here, you never say a nice thing!" Gu Juncheng kicked him.

Wei Zhonghua chuckled and easily dodged the attack.

He Qiancheng, being more composed, asked him, "Are you sure you don't need our help?"

"No need," Gu Juncheng waved his hand, indicating that they should go back and rest.

Shen Hai and Wang Ping'an looked bewildered, not knowing what was going on, before He Qiancheng pulled them back.

It was midnight, and Lin Qingping still hadn't returned.

At 12:30, a taxi stopped in front of my house, and finally someone got out, and there were two of them.

Lin Qingping and Lu Chuang.

Lu Chuang accompanied Lin Qingping to her doorstep. Upon seeing him, she called out, "Uncle Gu."

"Alright, I'm home. You should go back and get some rest too." Lin Qingping waved to Lu Chuang.

Lu Chuang smiled, his eyes shining. "Alright! Qingping! Don't forget what you promised me!"

Then she waved to Gu Juncheng, "Goodnight, Uncle Gu!"

Lu Chuang left in the same car.

Gu Juncheng followed Lin Qingping into the courtyard. Lin Qingping heard a sarcastic remark from behind her: "They've all called her Qingping now."

Lin Qingping turned around, "Why not?"

"I don't think I've ever called you that before, have I?" Someone's face was so contorted with jealousy.

"Oh." Does that mean I'm the one who won't allow it?

"Lin Qingping, don't just give me perfunctory 'ohs'! Isn't Lu Chuang surprised to see me in your house? Don't you want to think about why?" Gu Juncheng's voice was aggressive.

Lin Qingping deflected the attack with a nonchalant remark, "Aren't you my uncle?"

"You..." Gu Juncheng was furious. "Aren't you going to tell him I'm not your uncle? Aren't you going to tell him who I am?"

"Why won't you tell me?" Lin Qingping asked him calmly from the darkness of the courtyard, "Who are you to me?"
