Chapter 133: Your Boyfriend Suddenly Appears
Gu Yusen was trying to free himself from the rough hemp ropes that were cutting into him. These bodyguards really didn’t know who their boss was. When he kicked his dad out in a few years, he would fire them all, one by one!!
Suddenly, he heard a faint rustling sound from the window. He subconsciously became alert, although this was his own home and there shouldn’t be any danger.
Moonlight like silver gauze washed over the windowsill. He stared intently at the window and saw a slender ankle appear from outside the wrought-iron railing. The hem of pants stained with mud was lifted by the night wind, revealing a scabbed knee.
Chu Zhaoyi was hanging outside the window, his thin back pressed against the cold glass, his fingertips trembling as he fiddled with the window lock.
“A-Yi!” Gu Yusen never expected that the one climbing through the window in the middle of the night would be Chu Zhaoyi. He stumbled to the window, his hands, tied behind him, hitting heavily against the marble edge of the windowsill.
Hearing the sound, Chu Zhaoyi looked up, seemingly aggrieved, and pouted.
“This is the second floor!” Gu Yusen used his shoulder to pry open a crack in the window, and the night wind swept in with ginkgo leaves. When Chu Zhaoyi deftly squeezed through, he smelled a faint metallic scent, and then realized that the palm of the boy’s right hand was covered in bloodstains, and half a rose thorn was stuck on his finger.
“Brother Sanmu!” Chu Zhaoyi’s voice reached Gu Yusen’s ears, very soft, as if afraid that people outside would hear.
“A-Yi, you…”
Gu Yusen’s throat tightened, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say. The wrists tied behind him were suddenly touched by cold fingertips. Chu Zhaoyi untied the rope for him.
Seeing the bright red blood seeping from Gu Yusen’s wrists, he pursed his lips, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion.
“Your knee…” Before Gu Yusen could finish speaking, the knot suddenly came loose, and he subconsciously pulled Chu Zhaoyi into his arms.
The smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of roses hit him. He then saw that Chu Zhaoyi’s neck was covered in fine scratches, and his clothes were stained with dark red.
He had a large patch of roses planted in the garden in front of his window, with only one or two people guarding the area. Late at night, they had relaxed their vigilance, and Chu Zhaoyi had found his way in from there.
Chu Zhaoyi stared at the wounds on Gu Yusen’s wrists and palms, looking unhappy. He wanted to touch Gu Yusen’s wounds, but was worried and didn’t dare to.
“Does Brother Sanmu hurt?”
Gu Yusen turned his hand to hold the boy’s bleeding palm. Fortunately, he always kept a first-aid kit in the bedroom. He took it over and silently began to apply medicine to the boy.
He was fine; he had thick skin and didn’t feel much pain from the injuries.
But Chu Zhaoyi, the name “Chu Jiaojiao” (delicate Chu) wasn’t for nothing. He didn’t have much meat on him, and his skin was so white that it reflected light. Even a little bit of force would leave a series of bruises.
His knee had already been scraped raw, not to mention his palm.
He guessed that by tomorrow morning, he would have a lot of bruises on his body.
Chu Zhaoyi suddenly leaned over, and warm breath brushed against the purplish-blue marks on his wrist. The boy didn’t like the smell of iodine and sniffed it a couple of times near Gu Yusen, frowning.
The iodine solution shone amber in the moonlight, and Gu Yusen’s hand holding the cotton swab suddenly trembled.
The scab on Chu Zhaoyi’s knee cracked, revealing fresh red marks that snaked down his pale ankle, staining the dark gray carpet with dark little flowers.
He still hadn’t taken good care of A-Yi.
“Didn’t I tell you to wait for me obediently at home? How did you find this place?” Gu Yusen said, his tone flat and emotionless as he applied medicine to Chu Zhaoyi.
“It’s strange. Brother Sanmu wouldn’t leave suddenly,” Chu Zhaoyi tilted his head. Gu Yusen’s explanation would be reasonable for most people.
But since they had reunited,
Gu Yusen would always be with him on time, and even if he had something important to do, he would send him home and tell him that he would be back in a few hours.
If something really big had happened at the Gu Corporation that required Gu Yusen to deal with it immediately, the news would have reported it. He had even specifically asked Xie Yuyin.
Since nothing had happened, then it must be that Brother Sanmu’s mother was making things difficult for him.
Just like last time.
Chu Zhaoyi was very smart.
He should have thought of it.
Gu Yusen sighed and carefully picked out the thorns from the boy’s palm, being very gentle, afraid of causing further injury to the boy.
“I’m smart,” Chu Zhaoyi said proudly, lifting his chin, like a kitten asking to be petted.
Gu Yusen was uncharacteristically silent, only applying medicine to him little by little.
It seemed that all he brought to A-Yi was suffering.
Ten years ago, his sudden departure had caused Chu Zhaoyi to search for him for so long.
Even when they met, he didn’t recognize him, and sometimes he would impatiently pinch his nose and scold him.
He hadn’t helped with Xie Haoran’s matter either; Chu Zhaoyi had solved it himself.
And now that they had confirmed their relationship,
He had allowed his lover to be hurt again.
He was really useless.
Chu Zhaoyi noticed Gu Yusen’s abnormal silence and thought he was angry that he had disobeyed him and sneaked out to find him.
Chu Zhaoyi puffed out his cheeks. He was also a little angry; it was Brother Sanmu who had lied to him first!
Never mind.
“Is Brother Sanmu angry?” Chu Zhaoyi carefully lowered his head, both hands held by Gu Yusen, so he could only rub his head against his.
“No,” Gu Yusen also rubbed the tip of the boy’s nose, his voice deep and frightening.
“I’m just angry that I can’t protect you.”
“But I’m not the one who needs to be protected,” Chu Zhaoyi had never been the one who needed to be protected.
He could maintain his original intentions in that kind of living environment.
He could also find him again based solely on Gu Yusen’s childhood appearance after finding his desire to survive.
He could deal with Xie Haoran’s slander without batting an eye.
He could also effortlessly take back everything that belonged to him.
He was a shining sun.
Not a weakling who needed to be protected.
He didn’t need Gu Yusen to protect him, but he needed Gu Yusen.
Gu Yusen was his only thought for survival, and also the red rose he longed for.
If it weren’t for Gu Yusen, he might have let himself rot in that dark bedroom in the Chu family, using his talent to achieve Xie Haoran’s reputation, and finally die without accomplishing anything.
Chu Zhaoyi’s feelings for Gu Yusen were always sincere, frank, and passionate.
Gu Yusen chuckled softly, bandaged the boy’s palm, and casually treated his own wounds.
Yes, A-Yi had never been the one who needed to be protected.
“But this time, let me handle it, okay, A-Yi?” Gu Yusen stroked the boy’s head, put him on the bed, and covered him with the quilt.
It was already three in the morning, and Chu Zhaoyi was weak. His eyelids were already closing. Hearing Gu Yusen’s words, he nodded blankly.
He didn’t even know why he had to come.
“A-Yi, how about I ask the Xie family to pick you up and stay there for a few days tomorrow?”
“No!” Hearing this, all the sleepiness in Chu Zhaoyi’s head disappeared. He tightly grabbed Gu Yusen’s clothes, and the wound on his hand hurt slightly from the force.
Gu Yusen grabbed Chu Zhaoyi’s hand to prevent him from bending it and causing further damage to the wound, stroked his head, and said
“Brother Sanmu swears, you can see me at the banquet this weekend.”
“We will never be separated again.”
“Okay?”
