Gu Yu said he had something to do the next day, and he really had something to do. It was not just the evening self-study class, he also asked the dean for half a day off.

Gu Yu met with Penguin, Random House, Collins and two local Korean publishing houses at a high-end coffee shop in Gangnam. They would meet every hour, with a half-hour interval. It was estimated that the publishing houses would be able to meet each other.

The editors at the publishing houses were all surprised at Gu Yu's age and maturity that did not match his age, and each one offered its own conditions.

Although this science fiction novel is highly popular among the general public and has always been a hot topic for human society to explore space and Mars, the 18-year-old new talent writer also has selling points.

But after all, they are newcomers. In addition to publicity, promotion and autograph sessions, the copyright share offered is generally 10% to 15%, which is actually very high for newcomers.

Gu Yu said that he would think about it for two days and that we would talk again here at the same time on Sunday. After seeing off the last local Korean publishing house, Gu Yu called a taxi and returned to Ssangmun-dong.

After returning home, Gu Yu put down the materials given by the publishing houses, looked at the time, picked up the metal baseball bat at the door, and went out.

The Donglong trio tried for the second time and managed to buy the movie tickets by wearing their military uniforms, but they were caught in the act by the head teacher who had been waiting there since early morning. Also caught were the Mad Dog trio.

Donglong's father is naturally a strict teacher who produces excellent students. He admonished and beat the students, but in the end he let a few people go for the sake of the student council president Shanyu.

This made Mad Dog even more jealous and resentful, so he called a few people to an alley behind a movie theater, ready to bully them and vent his anger, but Gu Yu was not there.

"Excellent president, thank you."

Mad Dog pushed Sun Woo with his fist and spoke in a bad tone. Looking at Sun Woo's cold eyes, Mad Dog looked at him mockingly and happened to see the necklace that Sun Woo wore during the last conflict.

"What is this? Didn't I tell you to take it off? I told you to take it off, you kid..."

"Pound." This is the crisp sound of a metal baseball bat hitting a baseball.

"Ah~ah~it hurts! It hurts! Blood! I'm bleeding."

"Why do you act so much every day, mad dog."

Gu Yu's sudden blow knocked the mad dog to the ground, and the dog covered its head and wailed. The two younger brothers who were squatting behind and watching the show were stunned by the scene before them.

Gu Yu turned around and looked at the two of them with a half-smile, and his followers were so scared that they wanted to run away immediately.

"Did I let you go?"

To the two of them, Gu Yu's calm voice sounded like a death warrant from the god of death in hell, and they stood there in fear.

It was the first time that Shanyu saw such a ruthless Gu Yu. Before that, he had only heard Donglong describe what happened at the Brazilian fried rice cake last time, and he was also stunned.

"Gu Yu, don't make a big deal out of it. Just teach him a lesson. It's not worth it for such a person."

Donglong and Zhenghuan developed a certain resistance and quickly spoke up to persuade Gu Yu.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. Come here and kneel down." Gu Yu said to his two followers.

The situation at the scene changed. Mad Dog covered his head and knelt in front of Gu Yu and the others with the other two.

"Senior, do you have a headache? Do you want me to treat it for you? Have you ever heard of fighting poison with poison?"

Gu Yu had a kind look on his face and waved the baseball bat, but in the eyes of the mad dog, he looked so terrible and vicious.

"No... no need, Gu Yu, it's my fault. Don't worry, we won't appear in front of you again. Shan Yu, I'm sorry, I was too mean. Please ask Gu Yu to let me go." Mad Dog said in a crying voice.

"Gu Yu, don't make a big deal out of it. There's no need to bother with them. They're about to graduate and we won't see each other again."

Shanyu looked at the miserable mad dog, but he was kind after all and tried to persuade Guyu.

Gu Yu glanced at his friends, all of whom had worry on their faces, and then looked at the three people kneeling.

"You should thank Sunwoo. Here's 10. Go to the clinic to get it bandaged. However, if it happens again, let me think about how much a concussion costs. Don't worry, you get what you pay for."

"I won't dare to do that again, Shanyu, thank you! Thank you!" Mad Dog and his followers took the money and quickly disappeared into the alley.

"Gu Yu, thank you, but can you not be so bloody and violent next time? It's not worth it if they end up in the police station."

Shanyu looked at Crazy Dog and his men who were in a panic and thanked Gu Yu, but he was also worried that Gu Yu would always be so violent and something would happen in the future.

"Don't worry, I'm only 18. I won't do it myself after I turn 19. Besides, I have money."

Faced with Gu Yu's true description, what else could Shan Yu and the other two say?

"By the way, did you guys watch the movie? Why are we blocked here by a mad dog?" Gu Yu asked.

"Don't mention it. We already bought the tickets, but my dad was waiting inside and Mad Dog also wanted to go to the movies, so we were all caught by the director." Donglong looked helpless and depressed.

"Gu Yu, don't you have something to do today? Why are you here with a baseball bat?" Zheng Huan asked in confusion.

"I finished my work and called a taxi back. I happened to see you guys walking with Mad Dog. I guessed he wanted to cause trouble for you, so I came here to help him."

Gu Yu and his companions were talking as they walked, and Zhenghuan took the baseball bat in his hand, imitating Gu Yu's swing just now, and almost hit Donglong who was standing next to him.

Donglong rolled his eyes at Zhenghuan, and then said to Gu Yu, "Luckily you are here, otherwise, I guess the mad dog would not give up today. Ah~ When can I see "One-Eyebrow Taoist Nun"! "

"I got a pirated copy. Do you want to watch it?" Gu Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Really? Gu Yu, from today on, you are my idol!"

“He’s also my idol!”

Donglong and Zhenghuan rushed over and hugged Gu Yu. Gu Yu pushed them away in disgust, while Shanyu smiled on the side.

"I helped you out again today and even treated you to a movie. Are you going to pay for the midnight snack?"

"Of course, let's go get some fried chicken and beer."

In the dim alley, the youthful memories of 18 years old are being expressed, and the pure and beautiful friendship is floating along with the playfulness and jokes.

A few days later, Deok-sun's family returned to Ssangmun-dong. Deok-sun went to Gu Yu's house. The moment she saw Gu Yu, she couldn't control her emotions and threw herself into Gu Yu's arms and burst into tears.

With Gu Yu's comfort, she gradually calmed down and talked to Gu Yu about her grandmother's funeral a few days ago.

Adults are just pretending to be strong to bear the burden of age. Adults also feel pain.

Birth, aging, sickness and death, the passing of loved ones are so hard to accept, but we have to accept them and life must go on.

After finishing the Dongzheng Cup Three-Nation Go Tournament held in China, Aze returned to Seoul, South Korea, brought a bottle of Moutai for his friends, and also bought two boxes of Moutai for Gu Yu through international logistics.

The friends' base gradually shifted from Aze's house to Gu Yu's house, because after all, Aze's father was there, so Gu Yu was quite free.

After Aze's birthday party, Gu Yu smiled as he looked at the people who were already staggering. Ten cups of wine was more than enough to deal with these people without getting drunk. Gu Yu carried Deshan to the bed, covered her with a quilt, ignored the people in the living room, put on a coat and walked out the door.

"Oh, it's Gu Yu. Why are you out? Where are Deshan and the others?" Looking at Cheng Dongyi who was walking towards him and talking to him with a smile, Gu Yu bowed slightly.

"Uncle, I came out to buy some hot food, they are still at home."

"Haha, have a drink with uncle."

The two sat on a bench in the public area.

"Our Gu Yu has grown into a man. He has grown up."

Cheng Dongyi said with a smile and drank another glass of wine, and Gu Yu helped him refill it.

"Uncle, I'm sorry that I couldn't go to pay my respects to Grandma Deshan when she passed away."

"Why are you talking about this? You don't know either. It makes me sad when you bring it up." Cheng Dongyi's expression was a little gloomy.

"Uncle, birth, aging, illness and death are common to all human beings. The happiness of the living is the best comfort for the deceased relatives."

"Gu Yu, when did you accept your parents' leaving?" Cheng Dongyi asked softly.

Gu Yu was silent for a while, and the memories given by the system emerged in his mind. Although they were unfamiliar, he felt some resonance when looking at the child who was suddenly alone and had no one to rely on.

"Maybe I have never accepted it. The longer time goes by, the more I think about it. But I know that what my parents want most is for me to live a good life. For them and for myself, I keep my thoughts in my heart, as if they are still by my side."

After hearing what Gu Yu said, Cheng Dongyi was stunned for a long time, then poured a glass of wine for Gu Yu. The two drank it silently, with their own thoughts.
