Gu Ziyun glared at Du Mingji and said irritably, "Hurry up and eat, even cake can't shut you up."
Li Ling handed a piece of cake to Gu Ziyun, who accepted it without hesitation.
Nearly a year has passed, and now Li Ling and Gu Ziyun's relationship has become much closer. Since Li Ling kissed Gu Ziyun last time, the two are only one step away from taking the final step and are already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
"Mmm, so delicious." Du Mingji swallowed a piece of cake, then took another piece and said happily, "Brother Li Ling, today Ziyun and I participated in a TV program. Ziyun sang a song and got the highest score. If she participates a few more times, Ziyun will be a big star, hehe."
Li Ling glanced at Gu Ziyun, who nodded slightly. Li Ling said, "That's great. How about this, I don't plan to work for the next few days. I'll go with you guys to participate in the program so we can look out for each other on the way."
“Great! When Ziyun becomes a big star, I’ll be her manager. Haha, I’m sure I can be a great manager.”
Du Mingji was imagining her future life and smiled unconsciously. Then she said, "Oh, I'm going to the bathroom. You two couples can chat."
As she spoke, Du Mingji ran to the bedroom on the second floor to use the toilet. Having come so many times, she no longer held back from being polite to Li Ling.
Li Ling took Gu Ziyun's small hand and asked, "Should we take the initiative and make them come to you?"
Gu Ziyun nodded and said, "Yes, since we can't find them, let's use this program to make them come to me."
After saying that, she gave Li Ling a playful smile and said, "It's very dangerous if they come. You can still back out now."
Li Ling patted her head and said, "What are you saying, little girl? I will always protect you."
Gu Ziyun smiled upon hearing Li Ling's words, and proudly clenched her right fist, saying, "I'm very powerful now, don't underestimate me."
After nearly a year, under the long-term nourishment of Li Ling's internal energy, Gu Ziyun broke through the limits of human body two months ago and has now developed internal energy.
In the past few months, Gu Ziyun's adoptive mother has developed Alzheimer's disease, just like in the movie. Gu Ziyun uses her internal energy to treat her mother, because her internal energy was passed on to her by Li Ling, so it also has the effect of treating injuries.
Although the effect was not significant, the mother's condition stabilized.
Li Ling lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Gu Ziyun said reproachfully, "Mingji might come down at any moment."
Li Ling chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I can sense the situation within a ten-meter radius right now. I'll be able to sense her as soon as she comes downstairs."
Gu Ziyun rolled her eyes at Li Ling.
Li Ling then remembered something and asked, "Have you been experiencing headaches lately?"
Gu Ziyun's face immediately fell, and she said, "It hurt again after I took a shower last night."
Li Ling sighed and said, "It seems we really must find them as soon as possible."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Ziyun into his arms and said, "I estimate that they will be able to find us through the TV program soon. I have been following you recently, partly to protect your safety, and partly to secretly protect your adoptive parents while you are in class."
Gu Ziyun looked up at Li Ling's handsome face so close to hers, leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "This is a reward for you, so thank you for your hard work." (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and likely refers to a different character or phrase.)

Chapter 131 is coming.
"Brother Li Ling, hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Li Ling was driving, and Du Mingji kept urging him on. Today, Gu Ziyun received a notice from the TV station that the 'Star Birth' program would be broadcast live today. The three of them quickly bought train tickets to Seoul, and now there were only fifteen minutes left before departure.
"Hiss~"
Upon arriving at the parking area, Li Ling slammed on the brakes, leaving a black mark on the asphalt. He turned to the two men and said, "You two go in first. I'll park the car and be there right away."
After saying that, she handed Gu Ziyun a plastic bag and said, "These are the eggs I cooked today and the drinks I brought. You can fill your stomachs first."
Gu Ziyun took the bag and gave Li Ling a sweet smile. This man was so considerate.
"Wow, Brother Li Ling is so thoughtful. I won't say any more. The brat and I will get in the car first. Brother Li Ling, please park the car and come over quickly."
Du Mingji rushed off with Gu Ziyun towards the entrance, leaving Li Ling to park the car there.
Gu Ziyun and his companion entered the station and saw that their train was checking tickets. They quickly ran forward, checked their tickets, and boarded the train before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
“Seats 17 and 18, this way.” Do Myung-hee pulled Koo Ja-yoon to their seats before finally catching her breath.
The two slumped back in their chairs, and Du Mingji calmed her breathing and said, "Ah, that was close. Why did we suddenly have to do a live stream? We weren't notified beforehand."
Gu Ziyun nodded and took off her backpack.
Du Mingji was still complaining, "Our homeroom teacher talked so much nonsense today, it's really annoying."
Then she took off her backpack, patted her stomach, and said, "I'm so hungry. I guess we won't be able to get any food over there."
"Luckily, Li Ling brought some eggs." Du Mingji took the bag from Gu Ziyun's hand, opened it, and exclaimed with delight, "And Sprite too! Eggs and Sprite on the train are simply wonderful!"
Gu Ziyun smiled, glanced out the window, and still couldn't see Li Ling. They were about to leave, and she wondered if he could make it. Without thinking too much about it, Gu Ziyun peeled an egg and popped it into her mouth.
"Hey, you brat, why are you eating so fast?" Do Myung-hee looked at Koo Ja-yoon's mouth, which was stuffed full of eggs, and said with a look of disgust, "You're going to be a big star, do you have to eat so rudely?"
After saying that, Du Mingji also cracked open the egg and ate it, exclaiming, "So delicious! This egg is just right for the current situation. How thoughtful! Brother Li Ling is so considerate."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Ziyun and said, "I don't know what Brother Li Ling sees in you. You're such a lucky girl."
Gu Ziyun didn't answer her, she just kept eating her eggs. "Ugh, give me Sprite." She was choking a little.
Do Myung-hee quickly opened a bottle of Sprite and handed it over. Koo Ja-yoon took a sip before swallowing the egg in his mouth, patted his chest where he had choked, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You brat, I told you not to eat so fast!" Do Myung-hee said irritably, looking at Gu Zi-yun's eating habits.
Looking out the window, she still couldn't see Li Ling. She couldn't help but worry, "You brat, don't you care that your boyfriend missed the train? You're still eating. You're such a heartless brat."
