"Ahem, it's like this. As soon as I saw you, I knew you were extraordinary. You will definitely be something extraordinary in the future." Gu Yue made up a story. "And do you remember those two people I met in town that day? They looked so much like you. What if you are the chosen one? Isn't that what the storybooks often say?"

"Oh? Did Dad suddenly change his attitude because he thought I could be profitable in the future?" Gu Xu said in a light tone.

"Of course not!" Gu Yue quickly argued, "Even if you are nothing and become an ordinary person in the future, I will still treat you as a family member. ... You are my family member in the first place."

Gu Yue said the last sentence with a guilty conscience.

It seems that he never regarded Gu Xu as a family member from the beginning, but just considered him an important character in the future plot, so he tried his best to be nice to him. But in fact, he was panicked by Gu Xu's occasional dependence, which made him nervous and at a loss.

He has no experience of getting along with "family"!

But he did always look at Gu Xu with the idea of ​​currying favor with him.

Gu Yue lowered his head to pack up the medicine box and put everything back in its place.

"How does your arm feel?" Gu Yue asked.

Gu Xu didn't say anything.

Gu Yue gritted his teeth and continued: "You don't have to work so hard. The owner said you are gifted, but you don't really have to work so hard. Let's do what we can."

Gu Xu looked at him, still silent.

Gu Yue felt like he was trying to comfort an angry girlfriend: "What I said just now was not nice, don't take it seriously. Just decide what you want to do, I won't interfere."

He looked at the young man in front of him with his eyes lowered, and felt very panicked.

The original text does not describe the hero's personality very much. After reading to the end, Gu Yue can only give the following evaluation: This is a man of few words who is awesome. He is very good at big-picture political schemes and rarely works hard on the details.

When opponents play tricks, the hero will not start with tricks to deal with them. For example, if someone secretly poisons him, his way of dealing with it is to kill the person directly...

Someone who is so straightforward and frank would not hide his doubts, right?

"I understand. Did anything else happen?" Gu Xu finally spoke.

Does that mean it's revealed? Gu Yue was very happy.

"Others...those shameless guys were causing trouble again, but I scared them away."

Gu Yue briefly explained how he frightened Gu Erhua, and then comforted him, "It's okay, they will just say a few bad words at most, but they won't actually do anything."

"So you slept in the grove for one night." Gu Xu was a little helpless.

He had heard Wu Feng's report that Gu Yue was indeed sleeping soundly and without any response. Considering what he had just said, it was a bit far-fetched to force a connection between Gu Yue and "His Highness".

Unless he has discovered Wu Feng's existence.

"I'm in good health. I'll be fine after two naps." Gu Yue smiled, "Does it make you feel better?"

"...It's a relief, but don't do it next time. It's a bit disgusting." Gu Xu said.

"They are scared by me, so they don't dare to come." Gu Yue had some confidence.

"Are the things you said to Gu Erhua true?"

"I made it up, but judging from her reaction it seems... like that?" Gu Yue was also a little unsure.

Then he realized that he was Gu Dashi, the victim of the murder, so he immediately frowned and said, "I have to investigate this matter thoroughly! If they really have anything to do with my parents, brother and sister-in-law, I will skin them alive!"

Gu Xu achieved his goal and nodded seriously: "We need to investigate. In the past few years, you always said that I was the unlucky star and the culprit... You always beat me for this."

puff!

Gu Yue heard the sound of an arrow hitting his knee.

He really didn't want to bother with it, but thinking about it, it would be a bit cold-blooded to just leave it alone. He occupied someone else's body, but he didn't even care about seeking justice?

"Okay." Gu Yue agreed, "I was wrong. I won't lose my temper with you anymore."

"Have you thought of any details of that year?" Gu Xu asked him.

Gu Yue was in deep thought.

Gu Dashi's memory of this incident has become very vague, or rather, he is unwilling to face the tragic past, so he completely closed his memory, unwilling to recall it, and let time dilute everything.

Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Xu asked, "For example... why did you think I was a jinx?"

Gu Yue followed this line of thought and his first reaction was that Gu Dashi himself was thinking this way, in order to shift the blame to others, he had a loophole to vent his righteous anger. But when he thought about it more, it seemed like someone vaguely told him that the foreign child raised in your home brought disaster, so your family was killed...

It was quiet at noon, and Gu Yue seemed to have some idea.

"When you put it that way, it seems like someone told me that you brought disaster upon me, but I really can't remember who that person was."

He added: "Oh, it is possible that I am imagining this because I feel guilty about hurting you in the past."

Gu Xu seemed to smile. He asked, "Is that person a man or a woman? What are their characteristics?"

"Looks like a man, wearing white clothes." Gu Yue said. This was quite clear.

Gu Yue was amused by his serious look: "Why are you so concerned about this? Do you want to enter the Dali Temple in the future?"

"I'm just asking." Of course Gu Xu couldn't tell him.

"Just study hard, and let me investigate this matter." Gu Yue pushed him onto the kang, "Hurry up and take a nap. Aren't you afraid of feeling sleepy in the afternoon?"

Gu Xu was very obedient. He had retracted all the sharp thorns he had just shown and became a good, sweet and good child again.

Gu Yue put him down, covered him with a thin blanket, then pulled down the bamboo curtains and closed the paper windows, and the room became dim.

"Dad." Gu Xu lay down and looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue sat on the edge of the kang, propped up one hand and looked at him.

"You coax me to sleep." Gu Xu said in a low voice.

"...Okay." Gu Yue felt embarrassed for a moment, then decisively sat closer.

Wrapping Gu Xu up, he gently patted his vest. Gu Yue thought for a moment and sang in a low voice:

"The dark sky hangs low, accompanied by bright stars..."

The male voice was low but gentle. When Gu Yue was a child, he grew up in the hospital, and the director sang this song to everyone every night.

After singing once, Gu Yue paused for two seconds and started singing the second time.

The initial sense of shame slowly faded away, and Gu Yue missed the past a little, but he felt more distressed for Gu Xu who was sleeping. After all, he had a friend and a dean, and grew up under the care of a sound legal system, but Gu Xu didn't. After being beaten by Gu Dashi for so many years, it must be hard.

When Gu Xu fell asleep and began to breathe evenly, Gu Yue stopped humming and stepped down lightly.

He carefully opened the door a crack and slipped out.

He still has things to do.

Gu Xu, who was lying down, opened his eyes with a complicated expression and sighed in self-mockery.
