Gu Yu took a sip of orange juice with a calm expression, while Paula opposite him was still thinking about what Gu Yu had just said.

"Gu Yu, you are really different now. I don't recognize you anymore. Where did you learn all this?"

Paula had a complicated expression, and she was absent-mindedly recalling the appearance of Gu Yu in her memory.

"Sister, people have to grow up sooner or later. I remember when my parents left that day, I felt lonely and helpless, as if I had been abandoned by the world.

The uncles and aunts in the alley helped me deal with my parents' funeral. That day I sat in the mourning hall in a daze. Sister Paula sat next to me, hugged me gently, and told me that everything would pass. "

Gu Yu was sorting out his memories. What a warm world it was. The friendly neighbors were so touching.

Paula also recalled what happened before as Gu Yu spoke, and she was no longer a stranger to Gu Yu as before, but began to feel pity for him.

The boy in front of me is only 18 years old. At this age, he should be playing coquettishly with his parents and growing up carefree, but now he has to face the reality and darkness of this world alone.

I don’t know if it was driven by memory or emotion, but Paula stood up, walked to Gu Yu, and hugged him in her arms.

"It will all be fine, Gu Yu. It's over."

Gu Yu quickly got rid of his previous emotions.

"Well, my hair was a little itchy just now, sister, I didn't mean it..." Gu Yu said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, don't talk about this. Remember! Jiang Guyu, don't mention it again! Do you understand?"

"Okay, I get it. Sister Paula, do you have anything else to say?"

"In the future, don't get involved with those officials. They have a lot of ulterior motives and you don't even know when they will sell you out. Just be a writer. Politics is a very complicated matter."

Paula looked at Gu Yu seriously, and with the aura of an elder sister, she told him the most important purpose of coming to see him tonight.

"Haha, sister, don't worry, I understand, and everything I have now is due to my identity as a writer and my works."

"I'm glad you understand. Okay, I'm leaving now. You should get some rest early."

Paula was about to go back after saying that, but Gu Yu suddenly grabbed Paula's hand.

"Sister, I have something for you."

This sudden action stunned Paula. She just stared at the two hands held together and was pulled into the bedroom by Gu Yu.

"This is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which I wrote. This book will be on the shelves in two days. This is a new attempt and a new beginning. So, sister, this manuscript is very meaningful. I hope you will accept it."

It was not until now that Paula realized that all along, whether at school or in the alley, even her boyfriend had been very cautious with her.

Gu Yu's bold and intimate behavior really surprised Paula. She quickly shook off Gu Yu's hand, picked up the manuscript and ran out.

He stopped at the bedroom door, said in a low voice, "Thank you, you should go to bed early." Then he ran out of the door in a panic.

Gu Yu looked at Paula's hurried figure in front of the bedroom window with a smile on his face. He heard that the colder a girl looks, the clingier she will be when she falls in love. He was really looking forward to it.

At this time, Zhengfeng was walking home after supervising the two bad students shouting slogans. He saw Gu Yu standing in front of the window and waved excitedly.

"Gu Yu, after they finished shouting, I said a few more words to them. They were very obedient, don't worry."

Gu Yu also greeted him with a smile, and then Zhengfeng returned home with a satisfied look on his face.

With Random House's extensive publicity, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" became a phenomenal bestseller as soon as it was put on the shelves. The first five million orders were sold out, and then ten million and twenty million. The sales of the book exploded exponentially.

Moreover, the readers of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" have a wide age distribution, from children of a few years old to teenagers, to young people in their twenties and thirties, to middle-aged and elderly people who are influenced by children.

Although the cultural community does not give a high evaluation of the literary value of this book, people are very optimistic about the future of the 18-year-old Gu Yu's second fantasy novel, which is closer to the market than the first one. In particular, Gu Yu himself said in an interview that this is a series, a wizarding world.

Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Columbia and other universities successively sent people to lobby Gu Yu, hoping that he would choose their school after graduating from high school.

According to predictions by some European and American financial media, Gu Yu will become the most profitable writer thanks to the Harry Potter series.

South Korea's old chaebols, such as Samsung, LG, Hanjin, etc., put Gu Yu on an equal footing, while some emerging chaebols and government officials are even more eager to curry favor with Gu Yu. Money is secondary, the most important thing is his influence in the world.

However, this time, Gu Yu is even more of a big name. Apart from accepting interviews from ABC, BBC, FOX, CCTV and MBC, he rejected all other interviews. After all, a writer is not a star who needs exposure.

As Gu Yu deliberately kept a low profile, his life was not affected too much, but the South Korean government still increased police force near his residence.

"Gu Yu is such a promising kid. Just because we have Aze in our alley makes people think our feng shui is good.

Now that Gu Yu is here, I heard that many people want to buy houses nearby, and the housing prices have increased three or four times.”

Shanying said with an exaggerated expression, Aze finished the competition and returned to South Korea, and today the families in the alley were divided into two groups.

The adults gathered at Shanyu's house, while the children were at Gu Yu's house.

"This kid is not an ordinary person. He might be a genius. Moreover, he has sold so many books. I heard that the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone alone can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Look at Gu Yu, he hasn't changed at all. If it were us, we would probably be overjoyed." Luo Meilan also said with emotion.

"The children have grown up." Aze's father has a deep understanding of this.

"Not all of them, Fenghuangtang, how about I exchange my three children for your Aze?" Cheng Dongyi said drunkenly.

Fenghuangtang smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

"Three for one, you're not at a loss. It's time for you to experience the hardship of raising three children." Cheng Dongyi continued with a dull expression.

"Paula's dad, you're still not satisfied. Gu Yu is half your child. He's so successful now, why are you still thinking about Aze?" Shanying interrupted.

"That's still different." Cheng Dongyi picked up another glass of Moutai, and the moment he drank it, his face showed a look of aftertaste.

"I have a good idea. Your family has the most advantages in our alley. You have two daughters. If you recruit Gu Yu and A Ze as sons-in-law, won't they all become yours?" Jin Chengjun said with a smile.

"Pah, that's a good idea, Dad Zhengfeng. It's rare to hear something useful from you."

Cheng Dongyi slapped his thigh hard, his eyes widened, and it seemed that he really heard it.

As for Gu Yu’s family, the children didn’t think the white wine was that tasty after trying it last time, so they still drank orange juice and yogurt.

"You two are really more perverted than each other. Now when I go home, my parents are almost bombarded with complaints about learning from you. They ask you when I go out.

I finally mustered up the courage to confess to the sister in the library, but she only heard me say that I was a boy from a double-door high school and immediately asked me about you. Alas, I will have to live under your shadow for the rest of my life. "

The giant salamander said this with a look of grief and indignation, and finished the last piece of pizza.
