My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

Chapter 823: She Had Love Me with Her Life (1)

The finding caught Gu Yu by surprised. He hesitated a moment before he reached into the safe for the notebook.

It looked like those diaries or journals that teenage girls would keep to record their daily mood and occurrences, a typical habit of a young girl. This notebook shouldn’t be just an ordinary notebook if Xu Weilai were to lock it in a safe.

Could it be Xu Weilai’s diary?

He kept staring at the notebook in his hand with no intention to pry into her secret world. Just as he was about to return the notebook to the safe box, two stray pieces of paper fell out from inside the notebook.

Gu Yu eyes followed the stray papers onto the floor, immediately recognising them. Judging from the words on the piece of papers, they were torn out from a dictionary.

One of them had the word “Gu” heavily circled while the other piece had the word “Yu” heavily circled as well.

Gu Yu’s grip on the notebook tightened. Were the contents of the notebook about him? The chances of two random pieces of papers containing his name did not seem to be a coincidence.

If the contents of the notebook were about him, maybe it was okay for him to take a peek?

Unable to resist the temptation to knowing Xu Weilai’s secret thoughts about him, his fingers gingerly flipped open the cover of the notebook.

May 20th Daddy told me I was betrothed to a boy since I was young. I have a fiancé, and I’m supposed to marry him when I’m a grownup. He has a pleasant name, Gu Yu.

October 1st What is getting married? The major leads in movies I watched today got married. She was wearing a beautiful white gown, and the man was in a black tuxedo. They took a vow in the house of God to grow old together, hand in hand. Will it be the same when I married Gu Yu?

December 25th Today, I heard some news about Gu Yu. It was rumoured that he is very good-looking, even more so compared to my favourite idol. He’s also very smart. He is like the prince charming in every girl’s heart. And he is my fiancé... I was excited at the thought that this man is mine.

January 1st I had a dream today. I dreamt of Gu Yu. I dreamt we met. He called me Xu Weilai with a smiling face. He even held my hand. It was too bad that I couldn’t remember how he looked like when I woke up. I clearly saw how he looked like in my dream. And I remembered he looked really, really gorgeous.

February 14th It the Valentine’s Day today. I received love letters and chocolates from some guys. One even stopped me and confessed his love to me in public. I had to tell them apologetically that they were very nice, but I have a fiancé. I wondered whether Gu Yu, too, received a confession of loves from other girls. Did he too, told them what I told the guys?

March 18th My father told me that Gu Yu’s 18th birthday is coming soon. Grandpa Gu wants to organize a coming-of-age ceremony for him, and we’ve received an invitation to attend. I can finally meet Gu Yu in person. What should I do? I’m so nervous. Will he want to see me? What if he doesn’t like me? And what should I prepare for him as his birthday gift? What should I wear during our first meeting? I have no idea what he likes in a girl. Is he going to like me?

The next few entries of the diary were all about the clothes she should wear, or the gift she wanted to prepare for him, and how nervous she was to meet him.

There was an entry in the diary on the day before his coming-of-age ceremony.
