-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead

“Mum.” After Su Rui waited for Gu Yu Cheng to let go of her a little, she answered the call from Mother Su.
“Rui Rui, has the party ended? Where are you now?” Liu Yue’s concerned voice echoed from the phone.
Currently, Su Rui started an internship and doesn’t exactly live on campus.
As she thought about it, Su Rui told her mother on WeChat this afternoon that she would accompany Gu Yu Cheng to a party in the evening.
Both children are dating and it is not right to interfere as parents. So when Liu Yue heard that she was going out with Gu Yu Cheng, she did not stop her.
Even though she didn’t intervene, she still watched the time. When she noted that it was rather late, she called Su Rui.
“Mm. It has ended. I… I am with Gu Yu Cheng right now. I am getting ready to go back.” She subconsciously looked at Gu Yu Cheng as she explained to Liu Yue.
“Are you returning home? I will let the housekeeper leave the door open for you,” Liu Yue said.
“It would be better if I go back to school today. It just so happens that I left some books in the dormitory that I will need to use tomorrow,” Su Rui found a relatively true reason and replied.
Mainly, Gu Yu Cheng is in such a state that they probably can’t leave for a while. She already told her mother that she was leaving and by the time she returns home, it would be late. She won’t be able to explain to her mother.
“I thought you would be home today, I even prepared a new set of pyjamas for you.” Hearing Su Rui’s words, Liu Yue mumbled.
“Then, when you get back, remember to send a message on WeChat, okay? Also, it is drizzling outside so let Yu Cheng drive a little slower on the way, and pay attention to your safety on the way… “ Liu Yue instructed several times before finally hanging up the phone.
Liu Yue put down her mobile phone. Father Su, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, also looked over with a concerned expression.
“Is our daughter not coming home tonight?” Father Su asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
It was only when Mother Su said that Su Rui was going back to school that Su Hong Yuan’s frown eased a bit.
It can’t be said that these parents are tense and unwilling for no reason.
If it is his son, he wouldn’t care about him and just let him go out and cause a stir in whatever way he wants. But the problem is that this is their daughter.
They are all men. Su Hong Yuan knows it very clearly.
As long as there are no problems in that area, no matter how self-disciplined and rule-abiding that man usually is, when it comes to those times, there is no rule or rationality to speak of.
This has nothing to do with age or experience, and has nothing to do with whether it is scum or not scum, reliable or immature.
In this contrast, Mother Su was much more calm than Father Su.
Their daughter said she was going back to school, so Liu Yue simply watched TV dramas with Old Comrade Su while waiting for Su Rui’s WeChat message.
……
Su Rui did send a WeChat message to Liu Yue.
But it wasn’t sent when she got back to the dormitory, but on the way to school, Su Rui estimated the time and sent it to Mother Su.
“Don’t be afraid.” In the car, taking a look at Su Rui, who was staring blankly at her mobile phone, Gu Yu Cheng suddenly spoke these words.
“Hm?”
Upon hearing these words, Su Rui came back to her senses and turned her head to look at Gu Yu Cheng with some confusion.
In the next second, she heard Gu Yu Cheng solemnly say, “I’m not the kind of person who would not take responsibility for my life or my marriage.”
“When I say I want to get married at this time, you perhaps might think that it is a little too soon. However, I do have this in mind and it was after careful consideration.”
“I’m not the kind of person who needs to attend a lot of social gatherings, and I don’t fool around outside. I’ll try to make time for my family.”
“Also, I am not a player. Before I met you, I had no intention of marriage, but now that I have you, I will be responsible for our marriage and our family, and I will be loyal to you.”
“And,” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “during the time when you have not graduated, I will try to restrain myself and be very careful.”
Gu Yu Cheng added, “I won’t make you pregnant.”
“I know. So I am not afraid.” She smiled at Gu Yu Cheng and said with much certainty. She was just thinking about how to phrase her speech when she goes back to discuss her engagement to Gu Yu Cheng with her parents.
Su Rui was a little surprised at the unexpectedly long promise from someone who is usually brief and to the point.
But she really wasn’t worried about Gu Yu Cheng.
Previously, when reading these gossips or stories, she always heard women say something about needing a sense of security and being insecure.
At that time, Su Rui also didn’t quite understand it.
The word “sense of security” was an “abstract noun” to her as it made it feel like the relationship caused a huge disruption in her life.
When she really fell in love, Su Rui finally understood the essence of the word “sense of security”.
Anyway, Gu Yu Cheng is a person who gives her the feeling that he has a strong sense of security.
As for the last sentence Gu Yu Cheng added…
Oh, although it’s a bit questionable, but when you think about it carefully, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it.
……
In the evening, after dropping Su Rui off at school, Gu Yu Cheng went straight back to Gu House.
“Why are you back at this time?” Watching Gu Yu Cheng come home, Mrs Gu was a little surprised and asked.
Previously, when Gu Yu Cheng came back late, it was mostly because he was working overtime in the company or attended some social gathering. This time, he came back late, mostly because he was on a date with Su Rui.
It is just that if he was with Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng would most likely return to his apartment near the company in the evening. He rarely came back to the main residence at this point.
“There was a party held by Zhou Zi Yuan this evening.” Gu Yu Cheng briefly explained.
But he didn’t say anything about the part of Su Rui being in the apartment.
After Gu Yu Cheng said that, even Yu Jing, who thought that this person was going to go straight upstairs, did not expect that Gu Yu Cheng did not just leave and even sat down on the sofa in front of her.
“On the matter of having an engagement, is there anything I have to pay attention to or take note of?”
Translator’s Note: Did anyone notice that Gu Yu Cheng used ‘I will try to restrain myself.’？☆〜（ゝ。∂）
