Chapter 3 First Appearance of the Spatial Dimension
Although Gu Yu felt that leaving the village directly was not a big deal, his current frail body was holding him back.
This made Gu Yu ponder and decide to take care of his body before making any further plans.
Although Gu Yu had married into the wife’s family, that was before he transmigrated, and he didn’t admit to it now.
At worst, he could just leave and find a way to create a new identity later. After all, there was always a way out, and he didn’t want to gain an extra wife who annoyed him every day…
Gu Yu didn’t know if he was asexual, but at the age of eighteen before he transmigrated, regardless of gender, he had no reaction to anyone he saw. Even he found it a little strange.
His classmates debated topics like relationships all day, and Gu Yu found even listening to them annoying.
Perhaps his emotional coldness made it difficult for him to form deep connections with others, so he planned to live a solitary life.
As long as he had money, being alone was not a problem.
However, after transmigrating, he had to consider his future…
[Accept Gu Mengyao and protect her a lifetime, or die.]
The voice that suddenly sounded in his mind made Gu Yu freeze. He didn’t show surprise, only narrowed his eyes slightly.
In this situation, would he die if he refused?
(What if I don’t accept?)
[Die]
Clearly, the answer was obvious.
However, Gu Yu didn’t reply immediately and continued to ask.
(If I accept, what’s the reward?)
[The reward is an upgradeable space.]
(Okay, I accept.)
Having said that, Gu Yu knew there was no reason to refuse.
Although there would be one more person to take care of, he had already planned to live a solitary life. It was no big deal to treat her as an extra burden.
After all, being able to obtain the space reward was a life-saving medicine in his current impoverished state.
If you can live, you live. If you die, you have nothing.
This was also why Gu Yu hadn’t committed suicide before transmigrating. He didn’t want to waste his life on useless emotions. Only by working hard to make money could he escape his family and live his own life.
Although he hadn’t achieved this in modern times, things were much better after transmigrating.
At least, in this ancient era, there were no elders to restrain him… This made Gu Yu very satisfied with his current situation. After all, if he hadn’t married into the family and had to separate into different households, he would still be controlled by the Yang family’s old house, or he wouldn’t be free if the Gu family elders hadn’t all died.
Now, although he bore the title of son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, he was actually not bound in any way.
As long as he managed his wife and wife’s younger brother, Gu Yu could decide on anything else.
[Space has been implanted.]
Just as Gu Yu was considering his future life, the lower corner of his left eye suddenly felt warm.
Then, after Gu Yu quickly left the village entrance and walked towards the small river outside the village, he looked at his reflection in the water and found that a small red mole had appeared on the corner of his eye.
This was also the first time Gu Yu saw his own appearance.
It was about as he expected. Due to his sickly body, Gu Yu intuitively felt that he looked like a weak pretty boy. His appearance was quite good, with rosy lips and white teeth, making him more beautiful than the village girls.
At first glance, he looked like a girl disguised as a boy… Unfortunately, Gu Yu had already verified his gender when he urinated, and he was indeed a man.
Having a feminine appearance as a man, though it looked awkward, was considered a good omen according to elders.
Moreover, Gu Yu, having transmigrated directly from modern times, had no worries about being effeminate.
After all, appearance doesn’t mean everything. Even if someone looked like a rugged man with a beard, if he posed with a delicate hand gesture or walked with his toes pointed inwards, that would be truly effeminate.
Not to mention the images of those young male stars who drew eyeliner and applied lipstick, making a group of young fangirls scream incessantly.
Gu Yu was now all-natural and even more precious…
However, space was more important now.
When Gu Yu thought of space, he directly touched the red mole on the corner of his eye, and in the next second, his figure disappeared from where he stood.
