Gu Yuanchen has been so unfeeling since the reunion, from the moment he recognized Ji Mu.He always speaks with no room for leeway, nor does he show affection to Ji Mu.

To refuse bluntly, to sever the past without mercy, Gu Yuanchen is abandoning his previous feelings.

He still didn't believe that Ji Mu, who had resigned at the beginning, would suddenly turn back a year later. If it was only because of the interests between the Ji family and the Gu family, then their marriage and Lu Qiuyuan's marriage were essentially the same.

After finishing what he needed to say, Gu Yuanchen got up and planned to leave: "You should rest, remember to ask for leave for tomorrow's class, and don't take excessive inhibitors in the future."

He thought: The sound of the rain outside the window tonight is disturbing, it would be nice if the rain would stop sooner.

Suddenly, Gu Yuanchen's hand was pulled.

The palm was pressed against Ji Mu's hot fingers, gently, Ji Mu didn't dare to pull him too hard, even his voice began to become waxy and soft, like a hoarse whisper under a warm lamp in a winter night.

"But only a few months have passed in a year, how does the senior know that I don't understand you?" Ji Mu said nasally, covering his eyes with his other hand, his palm was wet, "I will try my best to understand, One year has not come yet, I will really work hard to understand..."

Before Gu Yuanchen could speak, Ji Mu cried and said, "Senior, please."

"Just give me one year, we agreed."

"If you still can't like me again after a year, I swear that I will never pester you any longer, and I will obediently disappear from your side when the time comes."

…………

Ji Mu cried very sadly, tears kept falling down.

Gu Yuanchen had no choice but to take the initiative to wipe away the tears for him.But the hot tears were like broken beads, falling one by one.When Ji Mu was sick, when he was vulnerable and sensitive, they surged up all at once, and they couldn't be stopped at all.

"Don't cry." Gu Yuanchen said.

Ji Mu's lower lip smelled bloody from being bitten by himself, and he still refused to let go of the hand that was holding Gu Yuanchen.

"Ji Mu." Gu Yuanchen lowered his voice, but Ji Mu hooked his fingers.He wasn't as disgusted as he was at the beginning. Although he didn't accept it, he didn't push it away immediately.

A moment of hesitation reversed the result he wanted, leaving no room for maneuver.

Ji Mu cried until the tip of his nose was slightly red, suppressing his sad emotions, he was almost begging Gu Yuanchen: "Senior, senior, promise me, okay? I came back for you, and I really worked hard to get to you , you don’t know at all... I was wrong, senior, I was really wrong before..."

He choked up so much, as if he was afraid that Lu Qiuyuan outside would hear it.In everything, Ji Mu is thinking about Gu Yuanchen.

"Please, senior, don't reject me so quickly."

Ji Mu behaved so humblely, as if after losing Gu Yuanchen, he would have nothing.

Gu Yuanchen looked like a branch growing on a cliff, and Ji Mu desperately wanted to grab it.Even if the branches will be broken, and he will be smashed to pieces one day, he is willing.

Gu Yuanchen originally didn't want to talk to him anymore, but under Ji Mu's sobs, he finally couldn't bear it: "Don't cry..."

"Senior, please..."

"I promise you."

The one year he asked for was actually very fast and very short.

Gu Yuanchen said: "Just one year, you have to keep your promise."

"Okay, the senior must also abide by... the promise, is it okay?" Ji Mu took the opportunity to grab Gu Yuanchen's words.

"can."

"Within one year, even if there are other suitors, the senior should give priority to getting along with me." Ji Mu endured the crying, and did not forget to climb up the pole, no matter what he did, he couldn't change it.

Gu Yuanchen had no choice but to respond again.For him, since Ji Mu is a trouble that cannot be pushed away, it is better to agree to his request.Anyway, a year later...he should also part ways with Ji Mu.

"Then can I ask for the senior's number?" Ji Mu sniffed, choked up and said, "I don't have a number yet..."

"..."

"Didn't the senior say that he would keep his one-year promise? Did he lie to me?" His tears came quickly, and then fell a lot more.Gu Yuanchen had no choice but to obediently save his number in Jimu's phone.

This is the number he personally put down, Ji Mu felt aggrieved and pitiful on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart.He wiped his eyes and was about to say something when he suddenly hiccupped.

This is not pretended by Ji Mu, he was really sad just now, thinking that Gu Yuanchen was going to push him away completely.This hiccup is probably the product of being relaxed after being frightened.

It can also be said that this hiccup was an uncontrollable accident just like the last stomach growl.

Although Ji Mu is good at disguising, in front of Gu Yuanchen, he always acts like a clumsy child, doing some careless things that shouldn't be done.

Immediately, Ji Mu calmed down, and stopped whimpering, but continued to shed tears in embarrassment, and hiccupped from time to time.

His eyes were moist, and he wanted to find a hole to drill in shame.

This is probably the first time Gu Yuanchen met such a person, one moment he was crying so desperately and heartbroken, but the next moment he started to hiccup?He didn't know what to say for a while, and he still had the same calm expression on his face, but the expressions of the two of them at the moment seemed a little out of place under Ji Mu's belching.

One is serious, the other is pitiful. Looking carefully, it is even a little funny...

Gu Yuanchen was about to laugh angrily at him, he cleared his throat in embarrassment, and took the water glass: "Drink water."

"Hi." Ji Mu blinked, his eyelashes were soaked.

"..."

Ji Mu took a sip of water obediently, but still didn't stop, hiccupping while shedding tears: "Senior, I didn't mean to. This, this can't be stopped..."

"belch."

Gu Yuanchen understood, "Yes."

"belch."

"..."

"Senior, it can't stop..." Ji Mu said helplessly, clutching his cuffs with both hands, "What, what should I do?"

"belch."

"Drink some more water?"

Ji Mu shook his head, his glass of water was empty: "No..."

Gu Yuanchen lost his mind, took his glass and went to the living room to pour another glass of water.Lu Qiuyuan didn't know what they were doing in the room, so he saw Gu Yuanchen delivering water back and forth to the room.He couldn't help asking, only to hear Gu Yuanchen say from afar: "He hiccups!"

Lu Qiuyuan followed with a puzzled expression, "Hiccup? What did you tell him to keep him hiccupping?"

"Dad, do you know how to stop hiccups?" Gu Yuanchen asked.

Lu Qiuyuan thought for a while: "Just drink water." But drinking water is useless, and hiccupping all the time is not a solution.Lu Qiuyuan looked around the room, pulled Gu Yuanchen and said, "There is another simple method."

"what?"

"Kiss him."

Gu Yuanchen: "?"

Lu Qiuyuan said with experience: "If you kiss him suddenly, he must be frightened by you." Back then, when Gu Qianming kept hiccupping, he did this.But that time, Gu Qianming's complexion was not very good.But Ji Mu likes Gu Yuanchen so much, so he won't be as angry as Gu Qianming back then, right?

However, Lu Qiuyuan was well aware of Gu Yuanchen's temper, so this suggestion was ignored.

"Anyway, if you suddenly scare him, he will be fine soon." While he was nagging, Gu Yuanchen pushed the door outside, and closed the door with a "bang".

And Ji Mu in the room blushed like a tomato, the kind that was almost ripe.

"My dad likes to talk nonsense sometimes." Gu Yuanchen asked, "Is it better?"

Ji Mu held back his voice, and silently hiccupped again.

"Drink some more water?"

Ji Mu shook his head, he just drank porridge and drank a large glass of water, now he can't drink the second glass of water no matter what.But holding the water glass, he gradually calmed down, and the hiccups naturally subsided.

"Thank you senior, I'm much better now." He put the water glass next to the strawberry milk, facing the soft light, his cheeks seemed to have a blush from crying for too long.

With Ji Mu like this, Gu Yuanchen can't always connect him with the acting Ji Mu that he thinks in his heart.Everyone's heart is soft, Ji Mu's is, and so is Gu Yuanchen's.

There was a faint scent of roses in the air, gently lingering around Gu Yuanchen's nose.It is like a secret garden, blooming with fragrance inside. In the pheromone field of Omega, it is a high mountain flower that many Alphas can't have in their lifetime.

But Gu Yuanchen could easily reject the scent of roses: "You rest, I'm going out first."

This time, the night was long and Ji Mu didn't sleep well.

He was clearly ill, but he couldn't sleep.

The sound of rain outside the window was noisy, and Ji Mu sat up when he couldn't sleep.His backpack was on the side, and in the compartment inside was a simple wallet.He took it, opened it gently, and a cropped photo fell on the soft quilt.

Quietly, Ji Mu picked it up.

The picture on the photo is Gu Yuanchen, who is 13 years old. Not far away, there is a boy hiding behind the flowers on the left.Moreover, the boy's figure is not obvious, a small blurred spot, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see it.

On the right side of Gu Yuanchen, there was originally another boy's figure, but Ji Mu cut out the picture of that boy, leaving only Gu Yuanchen.

Ji Mu looked at the cropped edge of the photo and took a deep breath.

Two words appeared repeatedly in the back of his mind: Ji Mu, Ji Mu.

That was his own younger brother, the boy who was supposed to be on Gu Yuanchen's right, and also the real young master of the Ji family, the original owner of the rose pheromone.

He stroked the corners of the photo with his fingertips, and finally put the photo away again, wrapped it layer by layer, and hid it in the compartment of the backpack, burying the truth deep in his memory.

He thought of Ji's courtyard a year ago.

His father, Ji Feng, was leaning on a cane, and said ruthlessly and indifferently: "From today onwards, there will be no such young master as Ji Mu in the Ji family." Dirty swearing.He stood straight in front of Ji Feng, with an endless abyss in his calm expression.

He was about to fall, in the indifferent prison of Ji's family.

He will throw away all the past.

Ji Feng ignored those cries of pain, showed no mercy, and didn't care.He just raised his crutches and pointed to Ji Mu standing in front of him, without a trace of respect, as if he was giving alms to a poor person: "From now on, you are the young master of the Ji family, and the fiancé of the Gu family all along. remember?"

At that moment, fear and joy descended at the same time, sweeping Ji Mu's extremely empty heart.

Be it a beggar or a robber, he is humble and despicable.

Ji Feng limped and stood in front of him, staring at him with slender eyes like poisonous snakes: "You are different from your brother, you are more like me. He has been ruined, so don't let me down, kid."

His father, Ji Feng, called him a "child" for the first time in 18 years.Before that, Ji Mu just lived in the attic of Ji's family, a dispensable bastard.

"Father."

He said, "I will grant your wish, but I have a request."

Ji Feng closed his eyes slightly, but did not respond.

"My name is the only thing left to me by my biological mother. I don't want to use my brother's name for the rest of my life. This is the only thing. I hope you can help me."

Ji Mu, Ji Mu.

The same name was deliberately chosen back then, but it turned out to be two completely different people, two lives, and the beginning of two nightmares.

…………

Ji Mu closed his eyes, and it took him a long time to break free from this waking nightmare.He covered his face, cold sweat permeating the hair on his forehead.The endless chill hit, dragging people into one lie after another.

"How could I let you down..." Ji Mu said to himself, clenched his pale hands, with unspeakable hatred in his eyes, "I will definitely replace Ji Mu."
