Chapter 003: 

After Bo Xingye left, Gu Su half-lay on the sofa, curiously gazing at his older brother Xing’s study where he worked. The overall atmosphere was quite monotonous, even though the sun outside shone brightly. Nevertheless, a lingering coldness pervaded the room.

Gu Su held a cushion in his arms, propping his chin up as he observed the vibrant purple wisteria blooming outside the window. Feeling a bit weary, he closed his eyes, and his curled eyelashes trembled slightly, appearing fragile and tired, like a butterfly with broken wings.

In the study room, Gu Su’s mind was filled with scenes from his previous life, replaying over and over again.

Even when he himself was tormented and reduced to a pitiful state at that time, he couldn’t help but think that if he could start over, even if it meant risking his life, he would definitely kill An Su and Bo Xingyan and repay them tenfold for everything they had done to him.

But now… having truly returned to the beginning, the hatred still existed in his heart, but it wasn’t too heavy.

What’s more, at that time, it was the warmth of Bo Xingye’s soft lips pressing against the corner of his own, and the hoarse whisper of “Su Su, don’t go.”

In the evening, Bo Xingye’s car returned from the company. After entering the house, he loosened his tie and looked at the butler who approached him, asking in a low voice:

“Where is Su Su?”

“Master Gu, he…”

Before the butler could finish his sentence, An Su walked into the living room from a nearby room and casually spoke up:

“I haven’t seen Susu this afternoon. He must have gone to look for the second young master.”

Sure enough, these words made Bo Xingye’s face turn cold in an instant. Before he could get angry, he saw Gu Su, who was wearing pajamas, running down from the second floor. Just as he arrived in front of Bo Xingye, he overheard An Su’s words and instantly exploded with anger.

“I was clearly sleeping in Brother Xing’s study this afternoon. An Su, you’re talking nonsense.”

The little yellow hair was messed up, the pajamas he was wearing were wrinkled, and there was still sleepiness in his eyes. Every detail showed that this kid hadn’t lied to him.

“Sleeping in my study?” Bo Xingye questioned.

Bo Xingye asked subconsciously, as the study contained many confidential documents. Even during cleaning, only Bo Xingye’s personal assistant was allowed inside. Apart from him, hardly anyone else could enter the old mansion.

“Oh right, I was uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa, so Xing Ge, can we change the…”

An Su stood by the side, listening to Gu Su’s willful words, lowered his eyes to cover up the jealousy in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he slightly curled his lips with that good-natured and gentle look.

“Didn’t Su Su say he wanted to go find Bo Xingyan… Oh, sorry, I didn’t say it on purpose.”

“If it wasn’t intentional, then why did you say it?”

Gu Su innocently tilted his head, revealing a dimple on his cheek when he smiled, appearing innocent, but a trace of coldness flickered in his eyes.

After retorting the person he hated the most, Gu Su turned his head to glance at Bo Xingye, who had been standing by his side all this time. He stretched out his hand and shook his suit lightly, and said angrily:

“Xing Ge, I can’t beat him, so… can you help me find Bo Xingyan?”

“Hmm?”

Bo Xingye’s initially relaxed mood instantly plummeted upon hearing Gu Su’s words. Was this child still not aware of reality, asking him to help find his own love rival?

“Gu Su.”

“Why are you being mean to me?…”

Gu Su snorted aggrievedly, not willing to let go of the hand that was holding the hem of his clothes, and muttered in a low voice:

“He owes me money, Xing Ge, help me find him and get it back…”

Upon careful consideration, in his previous life, Bo Xingmao had even deceived a child’s pocket money! It was simply too much! He must retrieve it! If he couldn’t do it himself, he would complain to the brother and ask him to help him.
