Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Extra Chapter - Sweet Daily Life of Teasing Dogs 5

For a moment, even Gu Chen fell silent.

He didn’t know whether to laugh, mock, or sympathize first.

Finally, adhering to the principle of brotherhood, Gu Chen asked, "This can’t be possible, right? Who made this list? Does that person have a grudge against you?"

Gu Yu shook his head. "No, the list is based on comprehensive data. For instance, you top the list, while I didn’t make it at all. I’ve gone on several blind dates over the years, and I either scared the girls into crying or running away."

Gu Chen fell silent again.

Actually, he had heard about his brother’s failed blind dates a few times before. He said with mixed feelings, "Honestly, it’s your fault. Talking about dissection and post-mortem body decomposition. After hearing that, don’t you think those girls would have nightmares?"

No wonder his brother had such a bad reputation online.

Gu Yu shrugged. "But these are my interests and hobbies. If they can’t understand my passion and work, living together in the future wouldn’t bring happiness, would it?"

Gu Chen nodded. On this point, he agreed with his brother.

For example, he and she... but let’s not mention it for now.

Gu Chen said, "You could try meeting girls who study medicine. You might have more in common with them."

"I’ve met a few girls in medicine before, but..." Gu Yu touched his face, looking quite melancholic. "They said I am prettier than them and with such good conditions, they worry they can’t keep me. Even though I emphasized many times that I’m focused on medical research and won’t be as flirtatious as other members of the Mermaid Clan, they just don’t believe me. They worry that while they’re treating patients or conducting research in the lab, some woman will steal me away."

"..."

Gu Chen didn’t know what to say either. He patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Though I am the king of Landis Star, I really can’t help you with this. Xiaoyu, why don’t you talk to mother about it?"

"I’m worried she would worry too much about me..."

"You’re wrong. Although mother would worry, she cares about us more. If you don’t say anything, she will be more worried. Like with Xiaohang, because I can’t talk to you about the child’s mother’s situation due to special reasons, mother was very worried about me." Sigh.

The brothers sighed in unison.

Actually, it was fine when they were young. Growing up as boys, they rarely had heart-to-heart talks with their mother.

Moments like today, when the brothers opened their hearts to each other, were rare.

"Sometimes, I envy Xiaoyan, being able to be spoiled by mother and talk to her about anything."

"I envy Xiaoyan too."

They both sighed, resenting not being born as daughters. If they were daughters, they could have been spoiled by their mother and received the stern yet affectionate treatment from their father. How happy that would be.

But the current situation couldn’t be changed. Gu Yu still hadn’t decided whether to talk to their mother. In the end, not wanting to bother his brother any longer, he left after visiting Xiaohang following their meal.

Watching his brother leave, Gu Chen felt that he was much happier than his brother.

At least, he had a kid now and didn’t have to endure the torments of the Manic-Depressive Period.

As for Gu Yu, after leaving the Imperial Palace, he got on his aircraft, feeling low.

Should he really talk to their mother? Or just forget about it—he was an adult now. Running to his mother every time he encountered a problem—what would that look like!

Maybe, he should just go ahead with that surgery.

After that surgery, he would no longer be troubled by manic-depression.

Since the first Beastman succeeded in evolving, many had undergone the surgery to solve this issue permanently. They couldn’t withstand the Manic-Depressive Period and didn’t want to marry or find a partner due to instincts.

But not everyone would choose this surgery. Beastmen who undergo it might discover it impacts their spiritual power, which, while Gu Yu didn’t need it to pilot a Mecha, it still affected his experiments.

It was frustrating.

He was so depressed that he felt like he could shed his scales!

However, Gu Yu didn’t want to waste time on this matter anymore, deciding to cut the Gordian knot.

Of course, Gu Yu couldn’t perform that surgery on himself. He went to the hospital to find the responsible colleague. The colleague was frightened and, without asking why Gu Yu wanted the surgery, immediately reported it to the hospital director, Gu Qingyu.

Gu Qingyu, being Gu Yu’s uncle, thought it was a serious matter and informed Su Wan immediately.

Su Wan: "..."

She was a bit shocked but not surprised when she received the news.

She knew the hospital staff, including Gu Qingyu, were in a difficult position, so she called her son Gu Yu directly.

"I know you want to undergo that surgery. Come talk to me before you do. If you still want to proceed after we talk, I’ll let them do it."

"...Okay."

An hour later, Gu Yu sat opposite Su Wan’s desk, while Su Wan reviewed some documents.

The documents were about the security situation in the Star Domain of Landis Star during the first half of the year, sent by commanders like Sheng An stationed in those domains.

Su Wan didn’t say a word, but Gu Yu inexplicably felt that his mom seemed angry. He pursed his lips, his mermaid tail curling up from tension if it were visible.

"Mom..."

The entire fish felt guilty. If he could, Gu Yu would have wanted to dive to the bottom of the water and hide.

Su Wan still didn’t speak. Only when she had handled all the paperwork did she finally look up. "Speak."

"Mom, I’m sorry."

"No, I didn’t ask you to apologize. You don’t owe me anything. It’s your life; you make your own decisions. I just want to know the reason behind it. This is a big deal. Xiaoyu, I am your mother. You’ve made your decision, but shouldn’t you at least tell me the reason?" Towards the end, Su Wan’s voice was somewhat melancholic. "Or have you stopped considering me your most important family member?"

"No, no, no! Mom, you’ll always be the most important to me!"

Forget Gu Yu—every man in the Gu family, big or small, couldn’t bear to see Su Wan sad.

Gu Yu grew anxious seeing his mother look so downtrodden.

Su Wan sighed softly and said, "Then tell me everything, the exact reasons for wanting this surgery."

"Hmm..."

Gu Yu retold everything he had discussed with his big brother, and by the end, his mermaid fin ears were drooping.

"I don’t want this either, but there just isn’t a better solution."
