Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye-Chapter 501 The Childe in the Tang Family Lives Off A Girl 68

Gungun gives Zhao Shen a blank stare. As Zhao Shen thinks of something, he looks frightened.

“Childe Lang, are you being held hostage? Wink at me and I’ll save you right now!”

Gungun is speechless and wonders how come the kind of idiot like Zhao Shen is his friend...

Gungun feels like he will have to think about his relationship with Zhao Shen in the future.

He asks, “Are you guys not hungry?”

Zhang Li, Zhao Shen, and Yuan Yiming nod and then shake their heads.

“Then shut up and eat.”

“Oh...”

They don’t know the reason why Gungun becomes so miserable all of a sudden. As they watch a beautiful teenager nibble on a streamed roll and enjoy the hollowware vegetables, they feel somewhat sorry for him inexplicably. Zhang Li is overwhelmed by her sympathy, “Do you want a piece of pork ribs?”

“He doesn’t want.” Shirla gives Zhang Li a cold look.

Zhang Li is frightened by her warning look. As her hand shivers, the pork ribs fall onto the table.

No one speaks. Gungun knows that with Shirla around, he shouldn’t try to eat from someone else’s bowl. So he bows his head and enjoys his lunch by himself.

Thankfully, even if when it comes to the hollowware vegetables, the chef in the canteen of Caesar Academy is capable of making them delicious. It is just that they don’t look enchanting. But the taste is acceptable to Gungun. Zhang Li, Zhao Shen, and Yuan Yiming watch Childe Lang finish a streamed roll, a bowl of hollowware vegetables, drink up the free soup, wipe his mouth, and take his leave.

“What’s wrong with him...?” Yuan Yiming says as he nibbles on a chicken leg, “He is acting so weirdly. He moves into the dormitory first, and now...”

Shirla knocks on the table, “Guys, listen to me. Mrs. Lang did warn me in advance. So if any of you dares...”

She continues elaborating on the details.

Back in the classroom, Zhang Li, Zhao Shen, and Yuan Yiming all look at Gungun with a sympathetic look on their faces. Gungun ignores them directly. Then Zhang Li tells Zeng Xue about what has happened to Gungun. After school, Zeng Xue runs to find Gungun in the dormitory.

“Here you are! Is 2,000 yuan enough for you?”

The girl just dumps the cash on him.

“That’s enough...” Gungun takes them over and doesn’t act politely.

This girl should be 50% responsibility for how he is doing now.

“Don’t worry! I’ll give you 2,000 yuan every month in the future,” Zeng Xue says generously and adds, “But I’m lending them to you. When you are rich in the future, you should pay them back to me.”

Gungun looks at her with an indifferent look on his face.

“Oops. I’m short of money too,” Zeng Xue explains, “My beloved idol is participating in a reality show and we’re going to sponsor him with money to hit the charts!”

Gungun replies, “...Then I should thank you so much for thinking of lending me the money at such a critical time.”

“Yes! I am counting on you to be my backstage supporter.” Zeng Xue pats him, “Alright. I’m leaving. You should be stingy about your spending too. I can only lend you 2,000 yuan a month at most!”

“...Got it. Just get out of here!”

The next day, Gungun doesn’t eat the stream roll and hollowware vegetables in a pathetic fashion anymore. Even so, his lunch is not as extravagant as before. Zhang Li, Zhao Shen, and Yuan Yiming look at him sneakily, only to find out Shirla slam the bowl down.

“Huh. Did Zeng Xue give you money?”

“However demanding you are, what has it to do with you if people give me money?” Gungun drinks a mouthful of Braised Pigeon Soup with pleasure.

Zhao Shen tries to talk to him and is discouraged with a cold stare.

“Traitor. Don’t talk to me.”

Zhao Shen wimps out and retreats. Yuan Yiming also bows his head and doesn’t say anything. While Zhang Li looks gleeful.

“Toy boy. Is Childe Lang now being kept by a woman?” Shirla criticizes him, “Aren’t you embarrassing?”

Gungun laughs, “None of you is even qualified to be kept.”

As he speaks, he gives Zhao Shen and Yuan Yiming another cold glance, making them feel aggrieved. They are suppressed by Shirla before they can help Childe Lang out in his trying times. Shirla also warns that if they dare to give Lang Xuanyuan money, Tang Duo will talk with their parents.

What Shirla has said scares Yuan Yiming and Zhao Shen.

When Shirla and Zhang Li leave, Zhao Shen and Yuan Yiming approach Gungun hurriedly.

“We are not traitors.” Zhao Shen slips a card into Gungun’s hand in a hurry, “Look! We topped it up yesterday. It’s for you.”

“Yes, yes, yes. 5,000 yuan. Enjoy whatever you want!” Yuan Yiming is smug, “Although your mother says we shouldn’t give you money. But she doesn’t say we can’t give you a meal card, right?”

Gungun stretches out his hand and they clasp their hands tightly together.

“Loyal brothers!”

“Yes!”

Then that night when Zhao Shen and Yuan Yiming are home, they are informed that from today onwards, there will only be 2,000 yuan per month for them to live on.

Zhao Shen and Yuan Yiming are both miserable.

“It’s fine. You guys at least have 1,000 yuan more than me.” Gungun knows what has happened to them and comforts them.

Zhao Shen asks weakly, “Then as for the meal card with 5,000 yuan yesterday...”

“You gave it to me.” Gungun looks wary, “Do you want it back?”

Zhao Shen feels so tired... Yuan Yiming looks up after knocking on the table with his head a few times, “We are not asking it back. We should spend it together!”

In the end, Gungun agrees to spend it all together and suggests that they put the money together so that there will be much more money. It is not until Yuan Yiming and Zhao Shen hand over the money to him that they realize...

“No! He only has 1,000 yuan, and we have 2,000 yuan each!” Zhao Shen feels they have been tricked.

Seeing that Gungun is about to run out of the classroom, they chase after him hurriedly.

Bai Susu knows that Tang Duo has capped Gungun’s allowance and says helplessly, “He’ll tell Wuyou what you have done to him later. Wuyou will definitely give money to him.”

“How come he is qualified to tell Wuyou about what I have done to him?” Tang Duo is still angry and she can’t bear to hear others mention her naughty son right now.

“If he does like...” ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

“Mom!” Tang Duo interrupts Bai Susu, “What are you talking about? I won’t stop him if he likes someone when he is in a normal condition. But he has lost all his memories now. What should he do when he gets his memories back later? Is he going to find Wuyou or stay together with the girl? It’s irresponsible and unfair to both Wuyou and that girl.”

Bai Susu nods, “Don’t worry about it. Didn’t I hear that he was pursuing the girl unilaterally? The girl hadn’t said yes to him yet!”

“Although the girl hasn’t agreed yet, her family members are coming up to reconcile with us as their relatives,” Tang Duo says with a disgusted face, “I can’t agree to let them stay together based on how her father has behaved.”

They’re all parents. Look at what Fang Diandian’s family members have done! At first, they didn’t even agree to let Diandian marry over, fearing that they wouldn’t be able to support their daughter if she was wronged.

“Exactly. So, it’s not easy for that girl.” Bai Susu pats her hands, “Think of how bad it must be for anyone to have such a father. Even so, she can’t do anything about it.”

Tang Duo doesn’t say anything and calms herself down for a while before she says, “I admit I’m a little angry with that girl. But I’m telling the truth and I’m doing it for her own good. If she agrees to stay together with Gungun, won’t she be the most pitiful one when Gungun remembers Wuyou?”

“I know what you mean.” Bai Susu thinks for a while, “Why don’t you let Gungun invite that girl over to our house for dinner so that we can meet her?”

Tang Duo refuses immediately, “No! Originally, there aren’t any issues. It will seem like something has gone wrong if we meet her in person.”

“Mom, don’t worry about Gungun. Even if I don’t give him any money, he won’t be starved to death.”

Admittedly, Tang Duo knows her son well. Gungun just changes his meal from extravagant food into abundant fish and meat and that’s all. Yuan Yiming and Zhao Shen, who are addicted to mobile games, are in a more miserable situation. Moreover, they are RMB players. Their situation is different now. They, who don’t throw money into the games anymore, consequently get lower rankings in the games within a few days.

The situation is especially miserable for Zhao Shen, who had a petite girl follow behind him every day and call him Brother repeatedly before. Zhao Shen also ever bought her some fashionable dress or mounts and sent her some petty flowers or something.

Originally, they planned to get married. However, he goes bankrupt all of a sudden...

“Look at how poor your eyesight is.” Yuan Yiming despises him, “You just didn’t buy her the fashionable dress. And she turned around and played up to someone else.”

Zhao Shen slumps his head, “Ugh... at least her sound is melodious! I can jerk off every night upon hearing her voice.”

“Give me the money and I’ll howl all night for you!” Yuan Yiming pinches his throat as he imitates the way women talk. He even calls “Oh” twice.

Zhao Shen finds his voice disgusting and almost throws up.

“Playing mobile games is money-consuming. It’s good if you stop playing mobile games.” Gungun throws his cell phone on the table, “Don’t you see I haven’t played the Glory of the King for a long time?”

“That’s because you don’t have money to buy skins and heroes. You consequently don’t want to play mobile games.” Zhao Shen pouts his mouth, “I thought I’d be a simple, young, and rich kid all my life, living a carefree life forever. I didn’t expect that life would lay its hands on the kind of little darlings like me...”

“Get out!” Zhang Li sitting in front of him can’t put up with him any longer. She turns her head and throws the book at him.

“Ouch!”

Wuyou notices that Gungun has started to do more video chats with her lately. He will send her a video chat request almost every two days. Of course, Gungun doesn’t tell her about how his allowance has been deducted. Instead, he continues to make random excuses.

“I asked Zeng Xue out for dinner today and she refused, saying she wanted to watch her beloved idol do a live broadcast.”

“And she even said that I’m not as good looking as that celebrity. In your opinion, Wuyou, which one of us is better looking?”

Because of Gungun’s words, Wuyou, who never pays any attention to celebrities, even goes online and searches for information about Xiguang. It’s true that Xiguang is a handsome and sunny boy. But frankly, he is not as good as Gungun.

Not to mention that all the photos of Xiguang online have been edited. Nobody knows how good-looking Xiguang is in real life.

“I think you’re better looking,” When they do another video chat, Wuyou specifically emphasizes, “Much better looking than Xiguang.”

Gungun is happy in secret, “Exactly! Then why did she say she would prefer a celebrity rather than agree to stay together with me? What do you think? Wuyou.”

“...Take your time!” Wuyou reassures him, “Since she didn’t reject you because of other boys in her life, it means there’s still hope for you. After all, a celebrity is a celebrity and an idol is an idol. Her appreciation for them is different from the fondness between the lovers.”

Gungun adds, “But she’s going to apply for getting enrolled in the Film Academy and she’s going to be engaged in the entertainment industry. If so, she may actually get to know the celebrity one day.” As he speaks, he peeks at Wuyou and pretends to be sad.

“When that time comes, she may find out that her idol is just an ordinary person, who is different from what she thought.” Wuyou can’t bear to see Gungun feel so bad. All of a sudden, she has an opinion of Zeng Xue.

The boy whom she has grown up with and she has protected ever since her childhood is so good. How is she qualified to dislike him?

“Why don’t you stay away from her too? Stop chasing after her all the time. Isn’t there a saying that absence makes the hearts grow fonder? Maybe she’ll notice your merits at that time...” The more Wuyou talks, the more assured she is.

Gungun looks thoughtful. A few days later, as he is doing a video chat with Wuyou, he says all of a sudden, “Wuyou, I think your suggestion works. So I have made up my mind!”

“What have you decided?” Wuyou is nervous. It is unknown why she is somewhat afraid of what Gungun will say next.

In the end, she hears an announcement from the beautiful teenager in the video chat.

“As the saying goes, absence makes the hearts grow fonder! I have made up my mind that I will go to college in Mi Country next year!”
