Chapter 47: Money is No Crime

After the stage show, Deok-sun happily took the prize and the walkman she had longed for, and hugged Gu Yu excitedly.

"Ah~ I finally have a Walkman."

"Haha, as long as you like it, just tell me if Sister Paula snatches it away." Gu Yu smiled and rubbed Deshan's head again.

"Humph, I won't give it to her. She can only dream on."

Even though she's being tough now, Deok-sun has always been at a disadvantage in the sister wars for many years.

"Ahem, Deshan, now that you've finished the dance and got your prize, can you introduce us to your friend, the one nicknamed Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung's friend?"

The giant salamander came closer, with a slightly obscene expression and a smile at the corner of its mouth that was difficult to control.

Deok-sun was a little confused, but she was in a good mood at the moment. Besides, her two best friends also wanted to meet some handsome guys.

"Okay, Joey Wong, Maggie Cheung~"

Deok-sun called her two besties and waved to them over. Dong-long turned around expectantly, his pupils dilated in disbelief, and then a constipated expression appeared on his face.

Looking at the two women walking towards him, Donglong wanted to die. He responded with a few words and quickly found an excuse to take Shanyu away.

Gu Yu also asked Deshan to return Zhenghuan's wine to him. Zhenghuan happily caught up with the two people in front with the wine.

Gu Yu fell behind and chatted with Deshan for a few more words, when suddenly the voice of the dean was heard.

"Hey, which class are you from? Why are you out so late? Stop! Don't run!"

Hearing the director's voice, several people ran quickly, and Gu Yu pulled Deshan to hide in a narrow alley. The two of them were face to face and pressed together, not daring to make a sound.

Deshan's face was flushed at this moment. She could clearly feel Gu Yu's body and his hot chest, and she couldn't help feeling intoxicated.

After confirming that the dean had left, Gu Yu looked down and saw Deshan looking at him with a dazed look. He also felt the sweetness of an adolescent girl and experienced the happiness of a chaebol.

"Hey, Deshan, are you okay? Donglong's father is gone."

"Ah~ No... It's okay. I was running in a hurry just now." Deok-sun also came to her senses and quickly found an excuse to explain in a panic.

"It's getting late. I'll take you back to the dormitory."

"Ah."

After a few steps, they arrived at the girls' dormitory. After saying goodbye to Deshan, Gu Yu was about to leave. Deshan held Gu Yu's arm, with a complex expression of nervousness, worry, and expectation on her face.

"Brother Gu Yu, I...I like you."

Deshan plucked up the courage to express her feelings to Gu Yu and looked forward to his answer.

Gu Yu was stunned at first, then looked at Deshan with a smile.

"I like you too. Go back quickly. It's getting late." He touched Deok Sun's head again and left.

"What an idiot! This isn't the kind of love that brothers and sisters should have!"

Deshan looked at the figure that had already walked away and stomped her feet in anger, but then she thought of Gu Yu saying that he liked her too, and felt happy and shy again.

But after a while, I felt that Gu Yu didn’t mean that. So I returned to the dormitory with such conflicted thoughts. It seemed that there would be another insomniac girl tonight.

The school trip has ended. Deok-sun returned home with her walkman, but before she could be happy for long, the ownership was forcibly changed.

Looking at her proud elder sister Bora, Deok-sun roared and rushed forward, and another battle between sisters began.

Ichika, the mother, originally wanted to separate the two, but after failing to persuade them, she took out her anger on Sung Dong-yi who was lying on the bed watching TV.

"Hey, come and pull them apart. If you hadn't guaranteed them, would our family be in this state?"

Cheng Dongyi ignored Yihua, stood up, patted his butt and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Ichika asked angrily.

"Go get rich!"

"Ah, do you think everyone has that blessing?"

The TV showed the 1988 prison break and hostage-taking incident of Ji Jiangxian, in which the slogan "If you have money, you are innocent; if you have no money, you are guilty" was shouted out. This was the person involved's complaint against the society.

The blessing that Yihua mentioned was Zhenghuan's family upstairs. Three years ago, their family was very poor because of Zhengfeng's heart disease, and they lived in the utility room of Donglong's family.

As a result, Zhengfeng unexpectedly won the lottery and won 100 million yuan. From then on, his family began to get better and they have the good life they have now.

Deok-sun, who failed to find comfort at home, ran to Gu Yu's house crying. Gu Yu saw this and guessed what had happened.

When Deshan gradually calmed down in Gu Yu's arms, Gu Yu took out a pink Walkman that he had prepared long ago.

Sometimes it only takes a second to go from sadness to happiness. Just look at Deok Sun who is happily hugging Gu Yu now to know.

As time went by, Gu Yu's novel "The Martian" received a good market response after it was put on the shelves, and an additional two million copies were pre-ordered.

It is predicted that this book will become the best-selling science fiction novel of the year, reaching nearly six million copies, and Gu Yu will be able to earn more than 30 million US dollars from the book's share of the profits. Of course, this will need to be paid to Gu Yu in many installments.

In a short time, the title of the genius science fiction writer became famous all over the world, and he was even more sought after in the already inferior Korean society.

Although Gu Yu refused most interviews in the name of keeping a low profile, he was interviewed by several well-known domestic and foreign media and TV stations. The programs also made his fame and reputation catch up with Haruki Murakami, Kenzaburo Oe, etc., but of course it was just fame.

The popularity will always fade away, especially when people have accepted him. Gu Yu returned to normal campus life, but both students and teachers were very respectful and friendly to him, and there were always people asking for his autograph.

Fenghuangdang Hutong in Ssangmun-dong also returned to its former tranquility. Apart from having an additional topic of envy for every household, the police force that had been added to protect Gu Yu was also withdrawn.

Although the enthusiasm among ordinary people has passed, the Korean cultural circles and upper class are very optimistic about Gu Yu's future. After attending several dinners hosted by the Writers Association or chaebols, Gu Yu rarely agreed to such invitations on the grounds of studying and creating.

Ssangmun-dong, Phoenix Hall, dinner at Deok-sun’s house.

"Buy a car?" Deshan's family looked at Gu Yu in surprise.

"Yes, I got my driver's license last week. It's not convenient to squeeze into the bus every day. If I get recognized by others, it will easily cause a bad influence."

"That's right. Gu Yu is a famous writer now. Haha, he has joined the Writers Association and his status is different. Gu Yu, what kind of car do you want to buy?" Cheng Dongyi thought for a while and asked happily with pride in his child's growth.

"I've already bought it, an Audi V8."

"Imported car? How much does it cost?" Yu Hui asked hurriedly when he heard that it was an Audi.

"More than 50,000 US dollars, which is about 30 million Korean won."

"Thirty million!!" Deok-sun's family was shocked again.

"The first commission from writing the book has arrived. In fact, inflation has been very severe in the past two years. For example, 100 million three years ago may only be equivalent to 45 million in actual purchasing power now. So it is better to buy some fixed assets early and still make money. Money depreciates too quickly."

Gu Yu finished speaking calmly, picked up a piece of pork belly and put it in his mouth. When he found that no one answered, he looked up at everyone in confusion.

"Brother Gu Yu, how come the 300 million you said is the same as the yuan we said." Deshan adjusted his mood and looked at Gu Yu with admiration.

"Haha, you don't have to squeeze into the bus when going to and from school in the future."

"Hehe, Brother Gu Yu is the best!"

"What about me? What about me? Brother Gu Yu"

In short, Deshan's family and other families in the alley gradually accepted the fact that Gu Yu had become a great writer and could make money, but their lives did not change much.
