The president looked silly as he laughed to himself. âCould he have fallen in love?â Wang Tuo wondered.
Tong Lin stood up and patted him on the shoulder, saying, âYouâve worked hard today. You can head back to your dormitory. Iâll invite you to dinner tomorrow.â
Before leaving, Wang Tuo glanced back and saw the club President looking down while fiddling with his cellphone.
ãThereâs no need for me to reward the author for the web novel. I can just invite him to dinner]
ãYou two know each other?]
Gu Jin was a bit surprised.
She sighed as she thought of how blessed Tong Lin was. Not only was he the club president of the literary society, he also had many talents and all the people he was acquainted with were extraordinary.
ãWell, do you want to join us for dinner?]He asked.
ãSure, but I donât know when Iâll have the time]Gu Jin quickly responded.
Although he invited her to dine with the author, she couldnât help but hold a few doubts. Gu Jin sighed once again. Why did the topic shift to having dinner?
However, âOld Man of the Mountain Riverâ was someone with talent in writing so it wasnât a bad idea to get to know him better. Besides, after establishing their magazine, sheâll need someoneâs help in looking over her drafts. Then wouldnât it be a good idea to latch on to his thigh in advance?
ãAnytime is fine]
Oh?
It seems that Tong Lin and the âOld Man of the Mountain Riverâ are well acquainted with each other, seeing that they can schedule a meal at any time.

Gu Jin made a few calculations before asking,
ãIâve been quite busy lately. How about we get together in five days?]
The other side paused for a bit before replying:
ãNo problem, I already informed him.]

The takeout order was taking a while to arrive and Gu Jinâs stomach was growling from hunger. To pass the time, she decided to call her brother back.
In the past, Gu Teng never took the initiative to call the original Gu Jin. However, ever since the current Gu Jin visited home, her brother seemed to have flipped a switch; since that time, Gu Teng has been sending her frequent messages on WeChat and occasionally did video calls.
Seeing that the siblings were getting along well these days, Gu Jinâs mother felt bitter sweet.
Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng had been eating his sonâs vinegar**. As a scholarly man who maintained a forthright bearing, he was embarrassed to show that he wanted to dote and spoil his own daughter. [note] Eating vinegar means being sour from jealousy. [/note]

A fatherâs love is like a mountain, even if he wasnât always good at expressing himself.
âWell, just remember to call me back,â Gu Teng said in annoyance. Gu Jin could imagine the boyâs knitted forehead as he frowned.
After completing his college entrance examination, Gu Teng was like a bird out of its cage; he was ready to break free and do whatever he wanted. These days, he never slept earlier than twelve oâclock at night.
It was past 9 pm when he had the most energy.
Gu Jin smiled in amusement. She didnât seem to care for his annoyed tone of voice. âI forgot to take my phone out of silent mode so I wasnât able to see your miscall until I decided to order a takeout.â
âTakeout? Why havenât you eaten yet?â Gu Teng scolded her with a frown, âYouâre still young and youâre not eating enough. Why is that? Are you trying to lose weight?â
Without waiting for Gu Jinâs reply, he continued, âWith your thin appearance, you canât get married if you lose more weight. You should eat more to stay healthy. Iâll make sure to take care of you in the future!â
Gu Jin pulled her cell phone away and rubbed her ears. She never imagined that her brother could be like a nagging mother.

However, she looks five points similar to their handsome father and gorgeous mother. Which part of Gu Jin could be lacking?
And besides, which person would try to lose weight when he or she is eating late at night?
