At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Chapter 457: Chapter 428 Affection

The door to the rest cabin had just opened when Lin Xinyue pushed Gu Yu inside, then with a “snap” she closed the door, standing before Gu Yu with her hands on her hips and glaring at him.

Gu Yu’s survival instinct went through the roof.

He raised his hands and swore on the spot, “I promise I’ll never fight in this kind of head-to-head ring match with Ge Zhengxiang again!”

His expression was sincere, earnest, pure… it was impossible to see any deceit in it.

“Hmph, even if you don’t fight with Ge Zhengxiang, you can still fight with Ge Erxiang, Ge Sanxiang, Si Xiang, Wuxiang, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth Xiang!”@@novelbin@@

Lin Xinyue let out a cold laugh, thinking Gu Yu wanted to play word games with her?

How could she not guess what he was thinking, showing no mercy as she called Gu Yu out on it.

Gu Yu: “…You found out about all that?”

Looking at the fuming Lin Xinyue, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to be cheeky, grinning and moving closer: “I know I was wrong! Next time I dare~”

But the next second he regretted it.

Because Lin Xinyue’s hand had found its way back to his ear.

“Hee hee, really? Tonight you’re sleeping on the recliner.”

Lin Xinyue was smiling on the outside but raging inside, her eyes aflame.

“…My mistake, my mistake! I’ll never dare to do it again! I promise from now on, no matter who calls me to fight in the ring, I won’t go!”

Although his ear didn’t hurt much, Gu Yu knew that his beautiful fiancée was seriously angry this time.

He immediately stopped joking and sincerely apologized.

Lin Xinyue stared at him for three seconds, knowing he was truly taking his pledge to heart this time, and let go of his hand.

Seeing how quickly Gu Yu turned into a good boy, she couldn’t stay mad at him anymore.

“Sigh, I don’t really forbid you from going to the fighting room for fun, but I want you to protect yourself and not get injured.”

Lin Xinyue sighed, Gu Yu’s match with Ge Zhengxiang today truly had her heart pounding with fear.

Each time they exchanged blows, she worried whether Gu Yu’s bones were broken, especially when both collapsed to the ground near the end; she nearly rushed up onto the ring.

If it hadn’t been for Wang Long and the others explaining what was happening, she would have probably cried on the spot.

“I understand…you know my body is really resilient…” Gu Yu’s heart was warmed, knowing Xinyue was only scolding him out of worry.

He clenched his fist and shook it, trying to show he wasn’t hurt at all.

As soon as he lifted his fist though, Lin Xinyue grabbed his hand.

“Look at your hand, it’s all bruised!” Lin Xinyue held Gu Yu’s fist, her face filled with distress as she looked at the patches of bruising on the back of his hand.

Even the knuckles were red and swollen, and even after more than ten minutes, it was still obviously painful.

“Er…yes, I did get a little hurt, but it’s nothing serious, this bruising will be gone after a good sleep.”

Gu Yu quickly drew his hand back into his pocket, his expression slightly embarrassed.

He had just finished claiming he was not hurt, and yet immediately his claims were contradicted.

“But it still hurts!” Seeing Gu Yu’s nonchalant look, Lin Xinyue’s lips pursed, tears already starting to swirl in her eyes.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’m really fine, hey, I’ve had worse from playing basketball before!”

When Gu Yu saw that Lin Xinyue’s tears were about to fall, he panicked.

The last thing he wanted was Lin Xinyue to cry; it twisted his heart.

“But it still upsets me.” Lin Xinyue bit her lip, and even though Gu Yu said he was fine, seeing the person she loved getting hurt still made her heart ache.

“Ah, just this once! Even though I got hurt, I’m still very happy today, and it was a good test of my strength!”

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Gu Yu stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms and comforted her.

“Who gets happy from being injured…” Lin Xinyue pouted, giving him a spirited roll of her eyes.

“A hearty and exhilarating fight is also a man’s romance!” Gu Yu flexed his bicep.

“That’s not romantic at all; there’s a basketball court on the ship, right? You guys could compete in basketball instead!”

Lin Xinyue shook her head, clearly not in agreement.

In her view, wasn’t this ring match just a fight? What was there to be romantic about?

She would rather go to the sports field to play basketball, volleyball, or the like—both good for fitness and less likely to get injured.

“You know my skills. If I truly played basketball, there wouldn’t be many who could beat me.”

Gu Yu smiled; after all, hadn’t he met Xinyue at the basketball court? Back then, he had even shattered the backboard, leading to a school-wide “critique.”

“Alright, alright, your smile looks the best. I’ll be careful in the future and make sure to protect myself properly.”

Seeing that her mood had improved, Gu Yu touched her face and said.

“Hmph, you’ve upset me, so tonight you’re punished to sleep on the recliner!” Even though Lin Xinyue’s mood was much better thanks to Gu Yu’s teasing, she still had some residual anger and wanted to punish him.

But Gu Yu knew she had already been coaxed, so how could he just obediently comply?

“Oh…then I…” Gu Yu slowly lowered his head, and then… he scooped Lin Xinyue up in a princess carry and headed straight for the bedroom: “Let’s go to sleep then!”

“Ah!! You’re so annoying!” Lin Xinyue was caught off guard, unable to struggle before being tossed onto the bed.

“Hehe, a bad boy is what a girl loves!” Gu Yu chuckled wickedly, then reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.

… (10,000 words omitted here)

At three o’clock in the morning, the night was deeply dark.

“What’s the situation at Chittagong port? Are they still not permitting us to dock?”

Standing by the captain’s cabin window, Du Zhenhua looked over at the brightly lit seascape, where the lights of various cruise ships and cargo vessels almost lit up half the sky.

Further away was a brilliantly lit V-shaped coastline,

and those giant ships were lining up to enter the harbor.

The Ark had been here for an hour already, but had not yet queued up.

“They say the harbor’s bookings are full today, with one hundred and eighty-seven barges all arranged and no spare barges to dock with us.”

Yang Hua, looking at the responses from Chittagong port on the central control display, said.

“No barges left? Didn’t they say yesterday that they had reserved a barge for us? Why the sudden change?”

Du Zhenhua furrowed his brow; the Ark had been on the move non-stop at full speed these days, all for the sake of arriving on time at the port.

They were punctual, yet there was no one to receive them?

“Hmm, the barge Arg-102 that was originally arranged for us seems to have been taken by a cargo ship from Eagle Country.”

Yang Hua, looking at the feedback data, showed a trace of anger on his face.

Someone had stolen their barge! And it was a cargo ship!

“Eagle Country? Hmph, they really are domineering! Tell Chittagong that we have come from far away to help them, that we are guests. If they do not show sincerity, I have reason to doubt whether the friendship between our two countries is solid.”

Du Zhenhua snorted coldly.

He looked toward the distant port, narrowing his eyes as if pondering something.
