Shocking! She Returned with a Miniature Bigshot Chapter 11

Chapter 11

This scene was so eerie, like a horror movie. Gu Ci woke up from the nightmare, covered in cold sweat and tears streaming down her face. She was overwhelmed with sadness and couldn't let go of the past. Gu Chuyun repeatedly stimulated her with music, causing her to hurt Gu Ziyu repeatedly. When she was sober, she thought about death countless times, but Gu Ziyu still insisted on watching over her, even if it meant being covered in wounds. She entrusted Gu Ziyu to Li Jiang, asking him to take Gu Ziyu far away, but Gu Ziyu came back on his own.

In their past life, the mother and son were stuck in a vicious cycle. If she didn't die, she would eventually kill Gu Ziyu. She felt her illness getting worse and knew that she could only protect Gu Ziyu by dying.

Thinking about the past, Gu Ci's hatred for Gu Chuyun and Lu Shijie deepened once again!

Gu Ci couldn't sleep all night and woke up early to go for a run. Despite the presence of a large indoor training facility at the Global Sports Center, she chose to run on the outdoor track, covering eight kilometers in an hour. As the sun began to rise, she realized that her endurance needed improvement and moved to the weight training area for strength training.

Upon entering, she saw Lu Zhiyuan wearing a helmet and doing neck exercises. Racing drivers are some of the most well-rounded athletes, requiring endurance, physical fitness, and core strength, all of which are critical to their performance. Even after running a few hundred laps, they still have to maintain their strength. Lu Zhiyuan's core strength was impressive; his body was at a 90-degree angle, supported by a resistance rope, with his legs firmly planted on the ground. His sweat dripped onto the carpet, and his core strength amazed Gu Ci. However, her mind wandered to some inappropriate thoughts.

Embarrassed, Gu Ci's face turned red. Lu Zhiyuan's core strength was stable, and his endurance was incredible. Certain aspects of his physique were also intimidating.

A coach was timing Lu Zhiyuan, so Gu Ci didn't disturb him and moved to the farthest machine for weight training. With her eyes closed, she mechanically exercised and recited a calming mantra in her mind.

She was only eighteen years old and was still very pure. She did not want to think too much about such dirty stuff.

However, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Zhiyuan standing in front of her, wiping the sweat off his T-shirt and revealing his tight and beautiful abs. Sweat dripped from his abs, and his male hormones were overwhelming. His adrenaline skyrocketed after exercising, and his shorts were quite short, revealing a certain part that was quite obvious. Gu Ci took a glance and felt a surge of heat, hastily touching her nose. What if her nose bled? How could she explain it?

“Are you training this early?” Lu Zhiyuan still wiped his sweat with his clothes, walking around like a walking hormone, and he didn't even realize it. “Don't you always sleep until you naturally wake up and hate exercising?”

He had just watched Gu Ci run for an hour upstairs.

“I'm exercising to improve my physical strength. I'm too weak,” Gu Ci's voice trembled, feeling like she had been electrified all over her body. She remembered the first time they had sex in their past life, and she had almost become a rag doll. He had even said with a smirk that she was too weak and needed to improve her physical fitness.

Stop, stop, she couldn't think about it!

Gu Ci frantically slapped her own face, feeling like it was burning up.

Lu Zhiyuan watched her excitedly beating her own face, his brow furrowing. “What are you doing?”

“The towel is hanging on your shoulder. Why do you keep using your clothes to wipe your sweat?” Gu Ci asked, blushing.

Lu Zhiyuan looked down and realized he was still lifting his clothes, revealing his abs. He then looked at Gu Ci's embarrassed expression and suddenly understood what was going on. He found it unbelievable and asked with a smirk, “Are you blushing just from looking at my abs?”

“Who's blushing?” Gu Ci retorted. “I've been running for an hour, and I'm tired.”

“You're getting flustered,” Lu Zhiyuan teased, looking at the shy Gu Ci. It was quite refreshing for him. Gu Ci suddenly became vivid in his mind, and he mischievously asked, “Do you want to see something else?”

He watched Gu Ci's face turn red as if it was bleeding. He pressed his tongue against his teeth to suppress the desire to bite her, and his Adam's apple moved slightly because of his desire.

“Don't act like a pervert,” Gu Ci sighed, but she couldn't hide her blushing face. She muttered under her breath, “It's not like I haven't seen it before.”

“What did you say?” Lu Zhiyuan asked.

“Just go train already!” Gu Ci replied.

Lu Zhiyuan laughed and walked away. Gu Ci wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Lu Zhiyuan's training afterwards showcased his incredible core strength and physical fitness, filling the entire gym with his male hormones.

Gu Ci watched a male peacock show off its feathers, feeling speechless and amused. She also felt a little sad, thinking about how vibrant and full of life the twenty-year-old Lu Zhiyuan was.

He was like a beam of light that illuminated her whole world.

Of course, five years later, he was still her light. But she hoped that Lu Zhiyuan could continue to live his life brilliantly like this.

After an hour of strength training, Gu Ci went upstairs. Gu Ziyu, on the other hand, was very disciplined despite not being a fan of exercise. He was a pure homebody, but he woke up every day at 5:30 AM to study computer science, artificial intelligence, and psychology, all from specialized books. When Gu Ci returned, he was finishing a French psychology lecture.

Gu Ci didn't disturb her son and took a shower after resting, preparing breakfast. She knew Lu Zhiyuan too well, so she made an extra breakfast, a high-carbohydrate, and protein one that was specifically for him.

Gu Ziyu finished studying and drank the fresh soy milk that Gu Ci prepared, asking, “Mom, why did you make so much breakfast?”

“Your dad might come down,” Gu Ci replied.

“Oh…” Gu Ziyu thought to himself, feeling annoyed.

“You've never lived with your dad before. Do you have any expectations?” Gu Ci asked.

Gu Ziyu held his face in his hands, his smile bright. “It must be exhausting to play the role of an innocent and cute baby.”

Gu Ci laughed and pinched his son's cheeks. “You're cute even if you don't act like a baby.”

When Lu Zhiyuan came in, Gu Ziyu smiled sweetly and said, “Good morning, Big Brother.”

He was truly a master of changing his facial expressions – adorable and cute.

Lu Zhiyuan took a shower and changed into clean and refreshing white sportswear. He looked youthful and energetic in his sportswear. Seeing the breakfast prepared for him on the table, Lu Zhiyuan knew it was for him.

This was the first real family reunion dinner for the three of them. Gu Ziyu felt conflicted. He didn't like Lu Zhiyuan because Gu Ci loved him more than she loved her own son. It was Gu Ziyu's mental block that stemmed from Lu Zhiyuan's death and his mother's subsequent mental illness. He felt jealous. Yet, he also liked Lu Zhiyuan and hoped to play the role of a well-behaved and cute child in front of him to win his affection.

After all, no one likes a little devil. Gu Ziyu didn't want Lu Zhiyuan to know his true nature. This was their secret between him and Gu Ci.

Lu Zhiyuan also felt Gu Ziyu's gaze. He had mixed feelings towards Gu Ziyu. He didn't like anyone else stealing Gu Ci's attention, not even animals. However, he could sense that Gu Ci cherished and treasured Gu Ziyu very much. On the other hand, he found this little brat whom he disliked quite familiar. It was as if there was some kind of bond between them in another life.

Gu Ci drank her soy milk, her eyes scanning between Lu Zhiyuan and his son with the same possessiveness. Genetics truly was fascinating.

“Gu Ci, where did this kid come from?” Lu Zhiyuan asked.

Gu Ci had already prepared her explanation. “He's my son…”
