Hua Hua said he only loves , only likes , does it an he loves like an elder brother?
At this mont, Gu Shaocheng fervently tried to comfort and reason with himself.
But he clearly heard Ling Yin’s words, "Watching the person you like get married, have kids, and live happily, does it really stir no emotions in you?"
Impossible!
He couldn’t comprehend the conversation he overheard by chance.
To say Hua Hua loves him? Too absurd, clearly they are brothers, although not by blood, but over the years, he’s always cherished Hua Hua like a brother closer than a real brother.
Hua Hua should feel the sa, right? He treats him like an elder brother with respect and adoration?
Gu Shaocheng stood there, smoking gloomily, unable to figure it out!
At this mont, soone unexpectedly patted him on the back: "Bro, what’s got you dazed?"
He turned around and saw Hua Hua and Ling Yin. For a mont, he couldn’t gather his thoughts, and only managed a faint "hmm".
But his gaze at Hua Hua carried a trace of investigation, nearly wanting to pry open his head to see what it’s filled with.
Hua Hua didn’t notice his unusual gaze as he was not in a good mood either, bottling up a fury with nowhere to vent: "Bro, I brought Brother Ling over, but I have sothing to deal with, so I won’t join you for dinner, I’ll leave first."
Ling Yin was already inside the private room.
Although his mind was chaotic, Gu Shaocheng concealed his thunderstruck state without revealing it, nodded, and returned to the private room.
During the al, neither of the two main people involved were really present in the mont, leaving others to stir up the atmosphere. Ling Yin spoke very little, and so did Gu Shaocheng, who was preoccupied with the conversation he overheard between Ling Yin and Hua Hua, realizing this man was interested in his brother, which explained the gifts and favors.
Originally, he could have taken this man aside and scolded him as Hua Hua’s brother, but now this brotherly role suddenly turned him into the "rival" in Ling Yin’s eyes, prompting him to curse inwardly.
Ling Yin noticed Gu Shaocheng’s sowhat unfriendly gaze but didn’t understand the reason, just recalling how Hua Hua had resigned himself to being alone for life because of him, which made him feel irritated.
"Mr. Gu, I toast to you, hoping for a pleasant collaboration this ti."
Ling Yin suddenly raised his glass. Despite his irritation, he had to keep things amiable on the surface, as their families were business partners with long-standing dealings.
"To a pleasant collaboration!" Gu Shaocheng clinked glasses with a hint of indifference.
"Mr. Gu, how did you like the song I recomnded last ti?"
What song? Gu Shaocheng had long forgotten the title, after a beat, he lazily smiled: "Quite nice."
Ling Yin also smiled, dropping the topic, realizing the other did not grasp the deeper aning behind the lyrics, felt annoyed, and poured himself another glass, downing it in one go.
Thinking to himself.
He couldn’t be petty with Gu Shaocheng; if it weren’t for him, Hua Hua’s life wouldn’t be as good, and over the years, it’s been thanks to Gu Shaocheng’s protection. But rationality is one thing, emotions are another.
How could Gu Shaocheng allow Hua Hua to develop such thoughts for him and remain oblivious for so many years, unable to guide Hua Hua away from them? It’s too heartbreaking. He felt protective towards Hua Hua and couldn’t accept it.
