”A Chao, where have you been all this time? Why can’t I find you no matter what I do?”

　　Gu Yingyi held Shen Chao’s hand and stood by Shen Chao’s bedside. Looking at Shen Chao’s injuries and frail figure, he felt heartbroken.

　　He held Shen Chao’s hand tightly and until now he couldn’t accept the fact that Shen Chao was back with him. He was afraid that this was all an empty dream and when he woke up, the person would disappear again.

　　Shen Chao changed his dirty clothes, but his scarred face was still covered by his hair, as if he was afraid that Gu Yingyi would see it.

　　Gu Yingyi’s company and comfort temporarily calmed Shen Chao down.

　　His cracked lips moved, and Shen Chao’s expression was painful as he thought of the memories of the past.

　　He told Gu Yingyi that after the car fell off the cliff, he woke up and was rescued by people on a boat that went fishing all year round.

　　But those were not good people. They tied him up and sold him to a remote mountainous area where transportation was inconvenient and there was no way to contact the outside world.

　　The wound on his face was caused by a car accident. Those people did not give him treatment but sold him directly to a crippled Alpha. He was locked up until one day when he sneaked out when the crippled Alpha was not paying attention.

　　After much hardship, he returned to City A, but he never expected that the people who sold him knew that he had run away and chased after him.

　　Thinking of this, Shen Chao fearfully crawled into Gu Yingyi’s arms. Gu Yingyi patted his back, feeling heartbroken: “Don’t be afraid anymore, don’t be afraid anymore. You are safe now. I will protect you.”

　　Gu Yingyi listened to his experience and wished he could bear it for Shen Chao. Thinking of those who hurt Shen Chao, Gu Yingyi’s eyes were fierce. He asked the person in his arms: “Have you seen what those people look like? I will not let them go.”

　　Because everyone was wearing masks today, Gu Yingyi didn’t have time to see what they looked like clearly.

　　Shen Chao was slightly stunned.

　　Then he shook his head, showing an uncomfortable expression: “I don’t know, Yingyi, my head hurts.”

　　Gu Yingyi was afraid of irritating him further, so he stopped questioning Shen Chao and pressed Shen Chao’s temple.

　　Shen Chao grabbed Gu Yingyi’s hand, “Yingyi…”

　　”Um.”

　　”You…will you dislike me? I’m very ugly now.” Shen Chao touched the hideous scar on his face.

　　Gu Yingyi gently touched the scar on his face, and said with a distressed tone: “What nonsense! I won’t despise you no matter what you do. Medicine is very advanced nowadays, and your face will definitely be cured.”

　　Shen Chao lowered his eyes, about to cry, and said hesitantly: “But, I saw the news…it said that you are married to my brother…”

　　When Shen Yu was mentioned, Gu Yingyi was stunned.

　　”I did marry your brother, but your father had forced it on me at great pains to keep the marriage. I didn’t like him at all.”

　　Speaking of Shen Chao’s father, Gu Yingyi felt guilty. After all, he was the one who got rid of the Shen family. The reason was simple. After Shen Chao had an accident, Shen Zhiheng forced a fool on him for his own benefit. After that, he made things difficult for him in various ways. The police then announced that Shen Chao might have died. In a fit of rage, he got rid of the Shen family who were in his way.

　　If Shen Chao was there at that time, he would definitely give the Shen family a chance to live for Shen Chao’s sake, but he didn’t know that Shen Chao was still alive at that time.

　　”A Chao, something happened in your family. I don’t want to lie to you. I did it to avenge your father.”

　　Shen Chao shook his head with a sad look in his eyes: “It’s my father who has brought this upon himself. I know what kind of person he is. The company has swallowed up a lot of money from the Administration overtly and covertly over the years. Even if you don’t do anything, sooner or later he will suffer the consequences.”

　　Gu Yingyi hugged him and said, “I’ll be there for you from now on.”

　　Shen Chao leaned in his arms, and from an angle that Gu Yingyi couldn’t see, a shrewd gleam of light flashed across his eyes.

　　When the driver found Shen Yu, he was still squatting on the stairs under the eaves of the candy store. It was not Gu Yingyi who asked the driver to pick him up, but the driver mentioned that Shen Yu was still on the street and had not returned.

　　Gu Yingyi put all his heart and soul into the recovered Shen Chao, and casually sent the driver away.

　　Shen Yu was taken home by the driver holding the candies in his arms. He didn’t say a word on the way. His heart ached, so he silently peeled a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth.

　　This chocolate is so bitter.

　　Shen Yu’s face wrinkled into a bitter gourd. It turns out that not all sugars are sweet.

　　Not long after being taken home by the driver, Gu Yingyi came back, but he was holding the omega that Shen Yu met today in his arms.

　　At that time, he only saw the man’s back, but didn’t see his face. After seeing clearly, Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and called out in a daze: “Brother…”

　　His father told him that his brother had an accident. The simple Shen Yu was not shocked or surprised when he saw his brother again. Instead, he was happy that his brother was safe. “Brother, you are okay.”

　　Shen Chao was still held by Gu Yingyi. When he saw Shen Yu, he struggled twice and tried to get down from Gu Yingyi’s arms. “Yingyi… put me down first. Xiaoyu is still here.”

　　”It doesn’t matter whether he is here or not. Don’t move. You are still injured. I will carry you back to the bedroom.” Gu Yingyi didn’t even look at Shen Yu.

　　Shen Chao lowered his head, his long hair covering the scarred side of his face, and deliberately avoided Shen Yu’s sight. He looked inferior and concerned about his different status, and said humbly: “Xiao Yu is your legal partner now, you shouldn’t be so close to me…”

　　Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Yingyi with a frown: “He is nothing. Okay, you need to have a good rest. Go back to the bedroom first.”

　　The smile on Shen Yu’s face froze.

　　Shen Chao stopped talking, and was carried upstairs by Gu Yingyi.

　　Shen Yu stood there, raised his hand and touched his chest. He looked down at the position of his heart in surprise.

　　Is he sick? Why does it hurt so much there today?

　　The aunt in the family took a temporary leave to go home, so there is no servant in the villa for the time being.

　　Gu Yingyi carried him to his bedroom, put him on the bed, carefully covered him with a blanket, and asked him softly, “Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?”

　　Shen Chao nodded, glanced at Shen Yu who was standing outside the bedroom door, and then said to Gu Yingyi: “I want to eat preserved egg and lean meat porridge.”

　　Gu Yingyi forgot that his aunt had asked for leave and was about to ask his assistant to buy some for him, but then he remembered that Shen Yu could cook.

　　Turning around and seeing Shen Yu standing outside the door, Gu Yingyi ordered Shen Yu as a matter of course: “Go to the kitchen and make a bowl of preserved egg porridge. Put more preserved eggs and no green onions. Ah Chao doesn’t like it.”

　　Gu Yingyi clearly remembered all of Shen Chao’s preferences.

　　Shen Yu replied a little slowly: “Oh… ok, Yu Yu will do it.”

　　Shen Yu could cook, but he could only make some simple dishes and noodles to fill his stomach. It was his first time to cook porridge, and he was so flustered that he burned his hands many times before he made a bowl of porridge.

　　He was happy that Shen Chao returned safely. After all, Shen Chao was his only relative at present.

　　He didn’t know why he couldn’t get in touch with his father, and Gu Yingyi didn’t tell him.

　　After the porridge was ready, Shen Yu carefully carried the bowl to the bedroom. Gu Yingyi was sitting beside the bed and talking to Shen Chao, their hands holding together.

　　Shen Yu paused.

　　Why is Gu Yingyi so close to his brother…

　　The sour and painful feeling in his heart was spreading again.

　　Shen Yu looked so redundant as he stood in front of them holding the porridge in his hand, looking at a loss.

　　When Shen Chao saw Shen Yu coming in, he silently took his hand away from Gu Yingyi and smiled at Shen Yu, “Thank you, Xiaoyu.” Then he said to Gu Yingyi, “Yingyi, I’m a little thirsty. Can you go and get me a cup of milk?”

　　Gu Yingyi obeyed Shen Chao’s instructions, “Okay, eat the porridge yourself, I’ll go get you some hot milk.”

　　After Gu Yingyi went out, Shen Yu brought the porridge to Shen Chao. Shen Chao just looked up, and Shen Yu saw the hideous and terrifying scar on Shen Chao’s face.

　　He and his brother had the same face, but the scar on Shen Chao’s face made them completely different.

　　Shen Chao no longer covered his face, and looked up at Shen Yu, with an intriguing smile on his face, “Shen Yu, do you know that you are a thief who stole everything that originally belonged to me.”

　　”Yu Yu didn’t steal anything, he’s not a thief.” Shen Yu didn’t know why his brother suddenly said that, and retorted naively.

　　Shen Chao continued: “You stole my identity and the position that should have belonged to me beside Gu Yingyi.”

　　”Brother, I don’t understand what you are saying. I didn’t steal your things.”

　　Although the fool is stupid, he is particularly unwilling to accept when he is wronged, and can’t help but raise his voice.

　　”It’s okay, I’ll get everything back.”

　　There were footsteps outside the living room. Gu Yingyi might have heard Shen Yu’s voice and was walking towards the bedroom.

　　After the footsteps stopped outside the door, Shen Chao suddenly sat up, reached out and knocked the porridge that Shen Yu was holding onto his hand, then covered his wrist and let out a miserable scream.

　　Shen Yu cried out in surprise, and part of the boiling porridge spilled onto his hand, right on the spot where the frostbite had fallen. The injury to the area that had not healed yet became even worse, and it was burning with pain.

　　Before he could recover from the pain, a big hand grabbed his shoulder and pushed him away fiercely. Shen Yu lost his balance and fell to the ground. His soft palm happened to press on the tip of the broken bowl. With a sharp pain, his palm was cut and blood flowed out.

　　Gu Yingyi was completely unaware and nervously checked Shen Chao’s wrist, “How did it happen?”

　　Shen Chao covered his scalded wrist and shook his head: “Xiao Yu accidentally lost his grip when he handed me the porridge. I’m fine.”

　　Compared to the red areas that Shen Chao had been burned with, Shen Yu’s injuries were obviously more serious.

　　But who is Shen Chao? Shen Chao is the white moonlight that Gu Yingyi holds at the top of his heart. He would feel heartbroken if he pricked his finger.

　　What is Shen Yu?

　　Gu Yingyi glared at Shen Yu fiercely, strode out to get ice cubes for Shen Chao to apply, then walked to Shen Yu who was kneeling on the ground, picking up the broken pieces with his bloody hands, and grabbed Shen Yu’s slender wrist with his big hand to make him stand up, his eyes seemed to want to eat him, “Do you fucking know that he has wounds all over his body, and he didn’t know how to hold the bowl steady when he took it?”

　　Shen Yu’s palm was still bleeding, staining his white cuffs red.

　　”I’m sorry, I’m sorry… It’s brother, brother…” The one who suddenly pounced on him was not Shen Yu.

　　Shen Yu had no way to defend himself. Gu Yingyi was sure that he was the one who did it. Hearing his excuses, he became even more furious. He kicked the broken bowl on the ground and it hit the wall and broke into pieces. “Get out, you jerk!”
