Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Young Man, Do You Still Want to Struggle?

"Oh, oh... Okay, yes, of course."

The saleslady quickly said, "Sir, if you could leave your name and contact information, I’ll register it for you. You can just pay when you come back to pick up the computer later."

"Mhm, okay!"

Gu Yizhou nodded without saying much else.

He took the pen the saleslady handed him, but when he was about to write down his name and contact info, he discovered it was out of ink.

"Er..."

"Miss, this pen is out of ink."

Gu Yizhou said, a little exasperated.

"Ah?"

The saleslady froze for a moment, then, realizing the situation, said with some embarrassment, "Please wait a moment. I’ll go get a new one."

With that, she immediately turned around to get a new pen.

Just then.

"Hehehe~"

The woman who had just been eyeing his body suddenly let out a sly chuckle at him.

The sound made Gu Yizhou’s skin crawl.

"Heh heh..."

He turned to the woman and gave an awkward laugh.

He saw that the middle-aged woman was practically drooling!

Gu Yizhou was speechless!

’Ma’am, at least wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth, will you!’

As the old saying goes: "A woman at thirty is a wolf, at forty a tiger, at fifty she can suck the earth from the ground,

at sixty she can suck a mouse through a wall, at seventy she’ll eat a man and not spit out the bones, at eighty even the Great Yu couldn’t dam her,

at ninety she could swallow a sea-calming pestle, and at a hundred she could ascend to the heavens and capture the Buddha himself!"

’The ancients truly did not deceive me!!!’

Gu Yizhou thought to himself.

’All I want to do right now is get my computer fixed, pay, and get out of here!’

Because Gu Yizhou saw the woman’s eyes glowing green as she stared at him!

"Hey handsome, I see your computer’s broken. Why not just get a new one?"

"Aren’t there a lot of new models over there? They look great, don’t they?"

"I’ve taken a real liking to you. Call me your godmother, and I’ll buy one for you, how about it?" the middle-aged woman suddenly whispered to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

’God... godmother???’

’Is she trying to become my sugar mommy!?’

Gu Yizhou’s eyes widened, completely speechless inside.

’This old broad is old enough to be my damn mom, and she’s still this shameless?’

"Heh heh, no thank you, ma’am!"

Gu Yizhou said awkwardly.

"Oh, don’t be like that, young man. I think we have a strong connection!"

"I really like you!"

"Buying you a computer is no big deal!"

"I’ve got money!"

The woman said magnanimously, waving her hand.

"Er..."

For a moment, Gu Yizhou didn’t know what to say.

Judging from the woman’s clothes and the gold and silver jewelry on her hands, she was definitely a rich woman!

’But so what!’

’Am I, Gu Yizhou, the kind of person who would bow down for a pittance?’

’Besides, it’s not like I don’t have money!’

’Putting other things aside, my own assets are around a million or so right now!’

’It’s not a huge amount, but it’s more than enough for me to live comfortably!’

’I don’t accept handouts given in scorn!’

Gu Yizhou thought proudly.

"No, thank you, ma’am."

"I have my own money. Thank you for the kind offer!"

Gu Yizhou said, turning her down.

"Handsome, I imagine struggling on your own at your age must be pretty tough, right?"

"I’m not short on money, but I am short on someone to chat with and share my private thoughts!"

"I’ve taken a liking to you, and I think you’d be a good fit!"

"Young man, do you still want to struggle?" the woman said slowly to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou: "..."

’What the...’

’She really is trying to make me her boy toy!’

’Her intentions are as clear as day! The ambition of a wolf!’

This time, Gu Yizhou was truly, completely speechless.

Honestly, he never imagined that this woman would dare to be so bold and direct in broad daylight!

’Seriously, not a hint of subtlety or tact!’

’She just comes right out and asks, "Young man, do you still want to struggle?"’

Gu Yizhou had always thought Lü Bu was unrivaled under the heavens, but he never expected to meet someone even more audacious!

’Incredible!’

He couldn’t help but give the woman a silent thumbs-up in his mind.

"No, thank you, ma’am."

"My doctor says my stomach is strong, so I can eat plenty of coarse grains!"

"So thank you for your kind offer!"

Gu Yizhou refused her outright.

"Hey..."

The woman opened her mouth, wanting to say more.

Just then, the saleslady who had gone to get a pen returned.

Seeing someone approach, the woman was too embarrassed to continue the conversation in front of another person.

Even if it was a consensual arrangement, it wasn’t exactly something to be proud of.

’A woman her age still had some face to save, after all!’

"Sir, I’m sorry to keep you waiting. This pen should work now."

The saleslady, oblivious to the strange atmosphere between the two, handed the pen to Gu Yizhou.

"Okay, thanks."

Gu Yizhou took the pen, left his contact information, and then hurried away.

’He couldn’t help it!’

He noticed the woman hadn’t given up and was still circling near him.

The look in her eyes made it seem like she wanted to eat him alive right then and there!

Gu Yizhou was scared!

He was genuinely scared!

He’d once faced a group of men trying to rob him and hadn’t been afraid!

He even charged straight at the men... ahem, charged straight at the hardship!

But now, facing this woman in her forties or fifties, he was well and truly spooked.

’If I really gave in to her!’

’I’d probably be a dried-up husk within half a month!’

’It’s too terrifying!’

Gu Yizhou thought.

After leaving the electronics store, Gu Yizhou immediately ran to the elevator and went downstairs.

He didn’t dare stay on the same floor as that woman any longer!

Her gaze looked like she wanted to eat him alive!

It was just too scary!

...

After leaving the electronics mall, Gu Yizhou arrived at the entrance of a nearby Chinese restaurant and finally let out a sigh of relief.

’What could he do?’

That woman had filled him with a sense of pure pressure and terror!

He was too exhausted to even complain anymore.

Gu Yizhou had seen scenes like this online and on TV before.

He’d always assumed they were just scripted acts.

He never thought he’d actually run into a situation like that himself!

’This is way too cliché!’

’Even novels wouldn’t dare to be this over-the-top!’

Gu Yizhou thought helplessly.

He casually walked into a restaurant.

It was peak mealtime, so the restaurant was crowded. Plus, the mall was huge; he shouldn’t run into that woman again.

Gu Yizhou then found a seat by the window.

After drinking a glass of lemonade to calm his nerves, Gu Yizhou casually ordered a few house specialties and then waited, bored.

Soon, his food was served.

Gu Yizhou was indeed hungry, so he pushed the recent incident to the back of his mind and began to dig in.

’If you’re not enthusiastic about eating, there’s something wrong with your brain!’

...

「Half an hour later.」

*Huuu...*

Gu Yizhou put down his chopsticks and let out a deep breath.

He leaned back, picked up a wet wipe from the table to clean his mouth, and let out a contented groan. "Ahh, that hit the spot~"
