LGHTNOVELBOOK 3: Space Appears
Although Gu Yu felt there would be nothing wrong with simply leaving this village, his current frail body was holding him back.
This made Gu Yu think for a moment before deciding to nurse his body back to health before making further plans.
Even though Gu Yu had married into his wife’s family, that happened before his transmigration, and he didn’t acknowledge it now.
At worst, he could just leave and find a way to create a new identity later. After all, where there’s a will, there’s a way. He didn’t want to have a wife that would annoy him just by looking at her every day…
Gu Yu didn’t know if he was frigid, but at eighteen years old before his transmigration, he had no reaction to either men or women—even he found this strange.
His classmates would discuss romantic topics all day, which Gu Yu found irritating just to hear.
Perhaps his emotional detachment made it difficult for him to form deep connections with others, so he had planned to live alone for the rest of his life.
As long as he had money, being alone wasn’t a problem.
But after transmigrating, he had to consider his future…
[Accept Gu Mengyao, protect her for life, or die.]
The sudden voice in his mind startled Gu Yu, though he didn’t show surprise on his face, merely narrowing his eyes slightly.
In this situation, would he simply die if he refused?
(What if I don’t accept?)
[Death]
Clearly, the answer was obvious.
However, Gu Yu didn’t immediately respond, instead continuing to ask:
(If I accept, what’s the reward?)
[Reward: upgradable space]
(Fine, I accept.)
At this point, Gu Yu knew there was no reason to refuse.
Although he’d have one more person to care for, he had originally planned to grow old alone anyway. Treating her as an additional burden wasn’t a big deal.
After all, getting a space reward, in their current destitute situation, was basically a life-saving medicine.
Stay alive if you can—once you’re dead, everything is gone.
This was also why Gu Yu hadn’t committed suicide before transmigrating. He didn’t want to waste his life on useless emotions; only by working hard to earn money could he escape his family and live his own life.
Although he hadn’t achieved this in the modern world, things had improved somewhat after transmigrating.
At least in this ancient world, he wasn’t constrained by elders… This made Gu Yu quite satisfied with the current situation. If he hadn’t married into another family after the separation, he would still be under the control of the Yang family’s old house. Or if the Gu family adults hadn’t all died, he wouldn’t have gained freedom either.
Now, although he carried the title of a son-in-law who married into his wife’s family, in reality, he had no constraints.
As long as he took care of his wife and brother-in-law, everything else was up to Gu Yu to decide.
[Space has been implanted]
Just as Gu Yu was contemplating his future life, the area below his left eye suddenly felt hot.
When Gu Yu quickly left the village entrance and walked to the small river outside the village, he looked at his reflection in the water and discovered that a small red mole had appeared at the corner of his eye.
This was also the first time Gu Yu saw his own appearance.
It was roughly as he had imagined. Due to his sickly body, Gu Yu instinctively knew he had the appearance of a frail pretty boy. His features were quite good—red lips and white teeth—making him prettier than the village girls.
At first glance, he looked like a woman dressed as a man… Unfortunately, when Gu Yu had relieved himself, he had already verified that he was indeed a man.
A man with feminine features might seem awkward, but according to old sayings, it was considered fortunate.
And Gu Yu, having directly transmigrated from modern times, had no worries about being effeminate.
After all, appearance doesn’t determine everything. Even a rough man with a full beard could be effeminate if he held his fingers daintily or walked with his toes pointing inward.
Not to mention those young celebrity heartthrobs with eyeliner and lip gloss, making young fangirls scream endlessly.
Gu Yu was now all-natural, which made him even more rare…
However, the space was more important right now.
When Gu Yu thought about the space, his finger touched the red mole at the corner of his eye, and in the next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.
