The sky outside had gradually brightened, and the housemaids were also waking up one after another. The gardener was already watering the flowers and plants in the garden, looking in a good mood, even humming a tune. His cheerful singing formed a sharp contrast with Gu Xuanze’s mood.

Perhaps due to staying up late, Gu Xuanze felt his head hurt even more. He couldn’t help but rub his temples, and after the pain subsided slightly, he finally spoke: “Ahao, I think I made a mistake.”

This sudden statement left Gu Xuanhao completely confused. He didn’t think this was about the things he’d just criticized.

There is no such thing as a perfect person in this world, everyone makes mistakes, and Gu Xuanze was no exception. In fact, the mistakes Gu Xuanze made were never limited to just one, but this time, it was still possible to correct the error.

“I just confessed to Youze.”

Gu Xuanhao’s confusion deepened: “Bro, I don’t understand. You like him, and then confess to him, what’s wrong with that?”

“My confession to him itself was not wrong,” Gu Xuanze frowned and explained, “But the timing was wrong.”

After learning from Ahao that Lu Youze had amnesia, Gu Xuanze started planning everything. He invested in and started filming “The Days We Walked Together,” and even proactively asked to play the second male lead, because he had read and was familiar with the script. Although it was an ensemble drama, the ambiguous relationship between the first and second male leads was also a major draw. Lu Youze was a professional actor, and Gu Xuanze certainly didn’t foolishly believe that he would develop real feelings for him due to the emotions in the show. However, he could use this opportunity to build a relationship with Lu Youze and try to gain his favor… Moreover, during the TV drama’s promotional period, the two of them would be working together for a long time, and Gu Xuanze had already arranged the subsequent promotional programs. His PR team had not been doing nothing; it was just that the time wasn’t right. Once he made a move, he needed to ensure that Yu Li would pay a painful price.

Then, when the time was right, he would confess.

Everything was proceeding according to plan, but the threats in Ye Xing’s hands had thrown him off balance, leading to a wrong judgment. He had forgotten that although Lu Youze had amnesia, the emotional damage caused by Yu Li using his feelings was real. Lu Youze was the emotional victim—would he still want to let others become victims? Confessing at this point, combined with the upcoming promotional efforts, would definitely make Lu Youze suspicious, and he might avoid him at all costs. Developing further with him would be even harder.

The direct approach wasn’t wrong, but the timing was.

Fortunately, there was still a chance to make things right.

“Ahao, I need you to help me with something.”

For Gu Xuanhao, this was probably the surprise of his life. His all-powerful big brother was so serious about asking for his help, which made Gu Xuanhao immediately alert.

However, after hearing what Gu Xuanze wanted him to do, his handsome face instantly fell.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Xuanze asked coldly, “Can’t do it?”

“Big brother, are you underestimating me?” Gu Xuanhao didn’t like hearing this. He almost jumped up from the sofa, but since it was his brother sitting next to him, he didn’t dare raise his voice too much. Still, he was clearly unhappy about being underestimated, “Big brother, let me tell you, I’m not bragging, but this is something that no one else can do except me.”

Seeing his younger brother looking so smug, Gu Xuanze felt a bit more spirited. Anyway, at this point, he had no choice but to trust Ahao.

“Then it’s up to you, Ahao,” Gu Xuanze said, standing up and preparing to leave. “I’m a bit tired, I’ll go rest for a while. Ahao, you should get some sleep too.”

“Bro, go rest,” Gu Xuanhao also stood up and urged him, then, as if thinking of something, he smiled ambiguously. “Bro, are you going back to your room to rest?”

Gu Xuanhao was an optimist. Although his big brother was scared, he always believed in him. His big brother was so outstanding, and as long as they kept creating opportunities for the two of them to be alone, Lu Youze would definitely fall for him.

Gu Xuanze frowned. He naturally understood what Gu Xuanhao meant, but he would probably disappoint him.

“No,” Gu Xuanze shook his head, “I’ll sleep in the guest room.”

This situation made Gu Xuanze realize that not only had Lu Youze lost his memory, but he had also forgotten the basic knowledge of being an Omega. Suddenly experiencing his heat period and being marked by the person who had just confessed to him, though it was a temporary mark, the impact would surely not be small. Lu Youze didn’t like him right now, at least not in the way he wanted. At this moment, staying in the same room would only make him more uncomfortable. Anyway, before he left, his pheromones had already filled the room, enough to calm the just-marked Omega and let him sleep soundly.

Although that’s what he thought, when passing by his own room, Gu Xuanze couldn’t help but push the door open. He felt relieved when he saw that Lu Youze was sleeping soundly.

Gu Xuanze stared at Lu Youze’s face for a long time, only withdrawing his gaze when the latter turned to his side. As if waking from a dream, he carefully closed the door and left without a trace of expression.
