Nan Baihao also walked over: "That’s right, bro, I’ve been saying for a while to leave Hua Hua to . I promise I can remake him into a new person. Why send him away? I heard you’re planning to send him to the Sahara Desert? How could Hua Hua go to a place like that? It’d be better for him to stay in Fengchi’s unit where we can look out for him. We absolutely wouldn’t let him suffer! But if he’s sent sowhere else and gets bullied, he’d be crying out to the heavens with no answer and calling the earth in vain. Bro, how could you do this?"
Gu Shaocheng tightened his grip on the wine glass but said nothing.
Bai Wuqing looked at him, and Nan Baihao looked at him as well. "Bro, have you made up your mind? Think it over again. Even if Hua Hua knew, he’d never agree to it."
"Don’t let Hua Hua know for now." He finally spoke, refusing to allow himself any mont of softness. "This is sothing I’ve already decided. Stop discussing it."
"But you have to at least consult Hua Hua himself. Are you planning to knock him out and throw him on the plane? If you ask him for his opinion, I can tell you right now, he definitely wouldn’t go for it." Nan Baihao was getting a bit agitated. Although he usually couldn’t stand Hua Hua, the mont things got serious he was bent on protecting him. He felt strongly that Hua Hua couldn’t go to a place like that. If he went, would he even make it back?
It wasn’t that he underestimated Hua Hua — it was just that guy really gave him no reason to look up to him.
It’d be better if his brother handed Hua Hua over to him. He knew his own limits and could take proper care of Hua Hua. He’d do everything wholeheartedly for Hua Hua’s sake. Especially after hearing from his brother about the misfortunes Hua Hua experienced as a child, Baihao had grown much closer to him.
Gu Shaocheng listened to Nan Baihao’s words but walked over to the window, letting the breeze clear his mind.
Yeah, how on earth was he supposed to get Hua Hua to agree? Would he really have to knock him out and shove him on the plane when the ti ca? This truly was a headache of a situation.
........................
At this mont, Hua Hua had no idea about the tragic future awaiting him. He was showing off his driving skills with a hint of smugness, casually chatting with the person beside him.
He was driving a convertible and had a knack for socializing. "Brother Ling Yin, what do you do for work?"
"My job is sowhat like a general overseer, handling various tasks. It’s pretty broad in scope," Ling Yin answered with an air of calm and competence. "Hua Hua, how old are you? Have you always lived in Vancouver?"
"Yeah, I’ve been living in City E these past few years."
"So you were born in Vancouver?"
"Oh, I wouldn’t know about that. But when I was little, I lived in City T. Later, my brother moved to City E, and I ca along with him."
"Your brother? Mr. Gu is your biological brother? But your last na isn’t Hua."
Hua Hua chuckled: "Haha, no, he’s my sworn brother. But actually, I’m not really surnad Hua either. Truthfully, I don’t even know what my surna is. I didn’t have a na when I was a kid. My brother said I looked like a flower, so he called Hua Hua. But I’ve always felt ’Hua Hua’ sounds too much like a girl’s na, so I added ’Chu’ to it. Since then, I’ve been calling myself Hua Chu."
"How could you not know your own surna? Did you not have parents?"
"Parents? I don’t know. From the ti I have mories, I was living on the streets, surviving off begging. Maybe my parents didn’t want and just dumped sowhere randomly," Hua Hua said, falling silent afterward. He thought to himself, strange — why was he acting like an idiot, spilling everything just because soone asked? Why was he laying bare all his secrets for others to see?
