Chapter 351: New Stage of Relationship

Gu Jun’s new home was a VIP suite at a 5 star hotel situated at Shen Hai City . It was not far from Wu Siyu’s home . The Phecda members intercepted them at the airport . Wu Siyu accompanied Gu Jun to check in at the hotel before returning to her own home .

Currently Gu Jun was on a paid holiday . He could live anywhere he wanted and for as long as he wished . For now, he planned to spend the lunar new year at this city so this suite would be his temporary home . It had a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and even a balcony that offered the best view of the city . He laid down to sleep after he settled in . Early the next morning, he went out shopping with Wu Siyu to prepare the presents for his afternoon visit . There were only a few days left to lunar new year . The street was decorated to welcome the Chinese New Year . The shops bustled with new year decoration .

Gu Jun and Wu Siyu held hands as they strolled down the street . This was their first official date after they had confirmed their relationship . Naturally they were not in uniform . They had on casual outfits and sunglasses . No one would recognize them as the famous heroes . Among the crowd, they looked like a normal couple .

“My parents are very easy-going . ” Wu Siyu swung his hand . “Some fruits will be enough . ” Ever since Gu Jun became like this, now whenever she touched him, she would not recoil from pain anymore . That was a silver lining in a way .

“No way . ” Gu Jun squeezed her hand and said with a smile . “This is the first time I’m meeting your parents . It’s a SSS grade mission . ”

“O well…” Wu Siyu leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed, “Fine, you win . ”

Walking among the crowds, picking out presents with a girlfriend, that was a life Gu Jun did not expect he’d lead any time soon . However, it did help calm his emotions . The immediate joy made the suffering related to Phecda fade slowly into the background . However, whenever his overly taut nerves relaxed, his brain would occasionally waver from the sudden release of tension . In fact, it was happening to Gu Jun now . As he was in the middle of selecting a calligraphy drawing, his vision suddenly blurred . It was not an illusion, in fact, this was not a feeling he was familiar with . It just only occurred recently; it was probably a side effect from his brain damage .

“Are you alright?” Wu Siyu asked with concern .

“I’m fine . ” Gu Jun rubbed his eyes . “It’s nothing new . ” The dizziness left as sudden as it came . He felt fine again and continued with the purchase . Dirty-minded Yu said that her parents admired calligraphy . After buying the present, they had lunch at a nearby restaurant and followed it up with a movie . They left for Siyu’s home around 5 .

Wu Siyu came from a middle class family . Her parents owned a painting studio . Due to their expert management, they enjoyed a fairly good, if slightly above average, life . They currently resided at a unit within a high-class apartment . Even though Gu Jun had fought with the supernatural, he was still nervous meeting his girlfriend’s family for the first time . With Siyu leading the way, he entered the house and met Father Wu and Mother Wu .

“Mom, dad, this is Gu Jun . ” Wu Siyu extended her palm towards him and announced seriously, “My colleague, my friend and also my boyfriend . ”

Gu Jun smiled as he saw the smiles reflected on Father Wu and Mother Wu’s faces . The two seniors were very welcoming . Due to Phecda’s promotional effort, they knew a bit about Gu Jun’s family background and health condition . Therefore, they kept the conversation civil . They chatted about harmless topics and Siyu’s childhood . Then Gu Jun spotted a framed picture of Wu Siyu when she was small . She was sliding down the slide with the pose of Superman . He could not help but chuckle . Seeing this, Mother Wu took out some other photo albums to share with him more pictures of Dirty-minded Yu . They ranged from when she was still a baby to when she graduated from high school .

“Siyu is always such a naughty girl . ” Mother Wu chided . “We were worried that she might grow up to join the gangs but who knew she would turn towards the arts instead . ”

Gu Jun saw a picture of a small Wu Siyu lying down in a sand pit . It perfectly mimicked the pose of the adult Siyu lying on the couch . It drew a real laugh out of him . The more he knew about her background, the more he found himself falling for this unique young woman .

After a while, Mother Wu and Father Wu excused themselves to prepare dinner . Taking this opportunity, Gu Jun slid over to the couch to hug Siyu . He whispered into her ears . “I realize I am falling deeper and deeper for you with every new discovery . ” Wu Siyu nodded . “I also realize I like to kiss you more and more . ” Then she stole a smooch on his lips . The timing was perfect as Father Wu suddenly turned around to ask, “Ah Jun, do you want anything to drink?”

“It’s alright, I can’t have too much sugar now . ” Gu Jun stood up and fixed himself . Wu Siyu called after, “Give him a bowl of salt water, he likes those . ” She meant that as a joke but Mother Wu really did prepare one . Gu Jun thanked her with a chuckle . He intended to help out in the kitchen but Wu Siyu held her back . If he went to help, she’d be forced to help as well so using Gu Jun’s need for rest as an excuse, she pulled him away from the kitchen door . She led him to her bedroom .

Compared to the kitchen, Gu Jun was indeed more interested in her bedroom so he did not put up much resistance . Gu Jun suspected Siyu had returned to clean up the place yesterday night because the room was spotless . There was a shelf, dresser, television, bed but the most eye-catching piece of furniture was a cupboard that showcased her painting . Her home had a gallery and a studio but this cupboard was clearly meant for Siyu’s personal favorites .

Wu Siyu collapsed on her bed once she entered her room . Gu Jun said he wanted to check out her paintings so he walked over to the cupboard . He took out some scrolls to admire them . Both of Siyu’s parents came from an artistic background and worked in the world of art . Therefore, it appeared natural that she’d follow in their footsteps . Painting was also her hobby . Her synaesthesia allowed her to have a greater range of artistic expression than normal . She had a unique style in her paintings . They were bursts of colors that seemed to come alive depending on the fall of the light . Gu Jun was no art critic but he enjoyed her paintings . Well, some of them more than the others…

“Dirty-minded, I suddenly realize there is a common point in our university degrees . ” Gu Jun commented .

“Huh? How is that possible?” Wu Siyu turned around to look at him .

Gu Jun walked over and showed her a nude drawing portrait . He whispered something in her ears which earned a smile from Wu Siyu .

“It’s a prerequisite class for art students . ” She suddenly studied him with the eye of a painter . “Dirty-minded Jun, actually you know what, you’ll make a good nude model . When you’re free, you should model for me . Then perhaps, you too can paint me like one of the french girls . ”

“Ah?” Gu Jun was stunned as his heart skipped . There was really no telling what this girl might say next… It felt like he had returned to his teen years . He suggested with surprising shyness, “Then how about later tonight? At my place?”

“Hmm… We should wait until you get better . I’m afraid you’ll get a brain haemorrhage . ” Wu Siyu thought about it and shook her head . “I’m sure that is one of the things we are not supposed to do . ”

“Then you should have thought about that earlier before you suggested those things . ” Gu Jun sighed . Thankfully, there were other things they could do for now…

Blood coursed through his veins but suddenly pain pierced at his brain . Something flashed before his eyes . He looked down at the paintings . He put the nude portrait away and turned back to study one of the colorful watercolors…

The earlier vision solidified… Was that a symbol that he saw…?
