Chapter 5

“No.”

Bo Xingye retorted coldly, it’s not that he didn’t see that Susu was pretending to be pitiful. However, when it comes to liking someone, even if he knows they are pretending to be pitiful, he will unhesitatingly favor them.

Bo Xingye was taciturn to everyone except Gu Su. The young butler standing on the side watched his master’s demeanor and quickly winked at the chef.

Although it is said that Mr. Gu and Mr. An are both guests who are temporarily staying at the Bo family, but this guest is also divided into three, six, nine classes, one is the one that even Mr. has to bow down in front of him, while the other one can’t even enter the Bo family’s main residence.

“Brother Xing, I don’t want onions.”

“I’ll pick them for you…”

Just as Bo Xingye was saying this, he saw Gu Su smiling with curved eyebrows and handed him a scallion pancake.

“You said you would pick them for me, right?”

It was clear that Su Su was deliberately trying to make things difficult

but when Bo Xingye looked at the pair of good-looking eyes of his that exuded a luster as cunning as that of a fox, Besides a feeling of helplessness, all that remained was indulgence.

“Susu, don’t embarrass Brother Bo like this. How could you pick out the onions from the scallion pancake?”

Holding the chopsticks in his hands, An Su gently comforted him, as if comforting an ignorant child.

When Gu Su heard these words, he subconsciously glanced at his brother Xingye, and noticed that Bo Xingye, who had been concentrating on bowing his head to help him pick the onion for him, raised his head and glanced at An Su who was talking, and suddenly became angry.

“Do I need you to take care of it!”

“I’m not eating it anymore!”

After finishing speaking, Gu Su put down his chopsticks and stood up angrily, walking upstairs with small, quick steps, without giving Bo Xingye any time to react.

Even Gu Su himself wasn’t sure what he was thinking at the moment. He only felt as if something that originally belonged to him was suddenly coveted by someone else, and possessiveness made him a little irritable.

Even after being reborn, Gu Su couldn’t be certain if his feelings towards 

Bo Xingye were purely out of affection. It was more based on guilt and a desire to make amends.

However, when he saw Brother Xingye looking at An Su, who had feelings for him, Gu Su couldn’t contain his anger. If it weren’t for his weak strength, he would have snapped the chopsticks in half!

After waking up with a high fever after being exposed to the rain for a night before, and then experiencing the flooding memories of his previous life, the messy and angry Gu Su returned to his room and locked the door from the inside.

Brother Xingye is so bad, he still looks at that An Su… 

This time, he will never forgive Brother Xingye easily!

At that moment, Gu Su hadn’t yet realized that it was only the things he truly, truly liked that would make him feel threatened when someone even glanced at them.

The sulking child curled up in the blankets murmured for a long time, muttering quietly until he fell asleep.

Perhaps because his high fever had just subsided, he didn’t feel uncomfortable despite not eating much. Before long, he drifted off into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, the entire old mansion gradually grew quiet, with only faint footsteps of slippers on the corridor floor.

Bo Xingye reached out and placed his hand on the doorknob, sensing that the door was locked from the inside with a slight force. He paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and took out a spare key from the nearby cabinet, effortlessly unlocking the door. 

There was only one strip of light on in Gu Su’s bedroom,emitting a soft light. Bo Xingye held a bowl in his hand, steam rising from it, and casually placed it on the coffee table. He walked lightly to Gu Su’s bedside.

Under the light, Gu Su was wrapped tightly in a light blue blanket, resembling a cocoon. Even his little paws were tucked away securely, with only his small head exposed.

The curled eyelashes cast a shadow under the soft light of the lamp. After falling asleep, the mouth closed tightly,and his eyebrows slightly furrowed as if he wasn’t quite at peace.

“Su Su?”

“What do you want…?”

Gu Su was indeed sleeping restlessly. When he heard someone calling his name and saw Bo Xingye standing by the bed, he was momentarily stunned. But then he quickly remembered what he had done earlier and hurriedly burrowed back into the covers.

“What’s wrong?”

Initially, he had only felt displeased, but now, upon hearing Bo Xingye’s words, tinged with a hint of concern, Gu Su didn’t know why, but a sense of grievance suddenly overwhelmed him, and his eyes turned red almost instantly.

“I, I don’t have anything to do with it. If you like to watch that Ansu, you should take a good look at it…”

The more angrier the child became, the more he felt that muttering curses silently in the blankets wasn’t enough. So he poked his head out and grumbled:

“Just you wait, I’ll pluck out your eyeballs and stick them on An Su! Don’t mess with me!”

After arrogantly scolding the person, the child suddenly realized that such speech didn’t fit his cute image and instantly wanted to retreat back into his shell.

As soon as this idea popped up in his mind, Bo Xingye stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, bent down without giving him any room to escape , lowered his head to meet his eyes, and said in a low voice:

“Susu, don’t be angry, I didn’t look at him.”

“It seems that you haven’t eaten much at night, so get up and eat before resting.”

Bo Xingye could vaguely sense that Susu’s attitude towards him had changed, but he didn’t dare to think deeply, fearing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

He suppressed his own thoughts from going too deep, but based on his instinct, similar to that of a wild beast, he had voluntarily withdrawn to a distance that Gu Su considered safe when Gu Su didn’t like him. It gave Gu Su a sense of security.

And now, when Gu Su tentatively tried to explore the depths and step into the trap he had set, of course, he wouldn’t give him any chance to escape or retreat.

A mature hunter would strike precisely when their prey let their guard down.

“No, I don’t want it.”

“I’m not hungry!”

Although the wrists were clenched, a certain kid still didn’t intend to compromise,the stubborn little one had no intention of compromising. As he tried to move his body to crawl back into the blankets, Bo Xingye reached out and embraced his slightly delicate waist, decisively carrying the small figure in his arms and walking out.

“Bo Xingye!”

Seeing Gu Su, even with his fur standing on end, Bo Xingye lightly slapped Susu’s ass lightly, and said in a low voice:

“Behave.”

The kid who had been baring his teeth and claws just now  following that movement, indeed calmed down, like a shrimp that was almost cooked, his porcelain white face was stained with light pink, and even the tips of his ears were glowing with heat.

“Eat before you sleep.”

“Oh.”

With two bright red ears, the shy Gu Su held the bowl and started eating the noodles. Despite previously claiming not to be hungry, and the child ended up not leaving any soup behind. After finishing, he let out a satisfied burp.

Gu Su took a tissue and wiped his mouth and hands. Then he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. his head was poked out of the bathroom with a mouth full of foam, staring at Bo Xingye who was still sitting on the sofa, and reminded:

“When you leave, take the bowl with you.”

“Mmm.”

Bo Xingye glanced at the empty bowl and a gentle curve appeared at the corner of his lips as he picked it up. It seemed that the seafood noodles he made for the first time under the guidance of the chef turned out to be delicious.

Due to sleeping a lot during the day yesterday and going to bed early, Gu Su woke up early the next morning, opened the curtains and looked at the bright sunshine outside, and stretched.

When your mood changes, even the sight of the sun feels bright.

Today Gu Su didn’t plan to go out, so didn’t feel like changing clothes either. Wearing a fluffy pink pajama, after brushing his teeth, he intended to go downstairs to get a glass of water.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw a woman in a short skirt sitting on the sofa.

Gu Su struggled in his mind for a while, trying to confirm that she was the same woman who unilaterally claimed to be Xing Gege’s fiancée in his previous life. In an instant, he labeled her as a love rival

Guo Tianxuan carried a brand-name bag in her hand, and when she looked at Gu Su walking down the stairs, she crossed her legs and opened her mouth slightly disdainfully and asked

“Oh, why are you still lingering in my fiancé’s house?”

“Tui, I see you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat and thinks too much! When did Brother Xingye say that you are his fiancée! Paranoia should be treated early, otherwise what if the head is ruined! 

Gu Su was certain, whether in his previous life or this life, that this so-called fiancé relationship was solely the woman’s one-sided wishful thinking. Brother Xingye had rejected her numerous times, but she never learned her lesson

“It’s only a matter of time.”

Upon hearing Gu Su’s words, Guo TianXuan’s face slightly darkened. She then picked up a glass from the table, took a sip of water with her painted fingers, and finally spoke:

“If you have even a little face, then leave on your own . Otherwise, when that day truly arrives, don’t let me chase you away like a stray dog… I’ll chase you out as the mistress.”

“You’re daydreaming! Why don’t you go to a psychiatric hospital and get a long-term VIP lifetime membership card? Otherwise, I’m sorry for what you said!”

When there was no Bo Xingye there, when Gu Su saw a love rival appear,he turned fierce like a little rooster who wanted to fight, attacking her hard, cursing and scolding.

“You!”

Before Guo Tianxuan could finish her sentence, Gu Su heard footsteps and caught a glimpse of Bo Xingye seemingly coming downstairs. The fierce and aggressive little child from earlier instantly crouched down into a defensive position shrunk into a ball in an instant..

“What’s wrong?”

Upon hearing Bo Xingye’s familiar and somewhat gentle voice from behind, Gu Su turned around aggrievedly, raised his head to look at Bo Xingye who walked in front of him, and said in a grievance voice with a bit of teary voice, he said:

“Xing Gege, she bullied me…”
