Socially awkward person transmigrates into a villain, and he's going crazy for romance reality

Side Story 2: Shao Chongsi X Gu Chengyuan

Shao family

"Who are you? What are you doing standing here?" Little Persimmon found a creature as small as himself in his house. He looked the boy up and down, who was wearing black and white overalls and a beret.

Little Orange: "I...I'm waiting for my mom, she..."

It was the first time that the somewhat introverted little orange was speaking to children her own age, and she was a little nervous, so she spoke haltingly.

Little Persimmon frowned, looking like a little adult, "Are you a little stutterer?"

Xiao Chengzi became even more nervous after hearing this. It was his first time in this unfamiliar environment, and it was someone else's home. His mother had told him that he was here to see Aunt Ningxia. He had just gone to the toilet and got lost when he came back.

This place is even more complicated than his home. He walked for a long time but couldn't find the original path, and it seemed like he was getting further and further away...

He lowered his head, nervously clasped his hands behind his back, and tried to open his mouth, "I... I'm not a stutterer, I can't find my mother... I'm lost."

Little Persimmon looked at his pitiful, drooping head and sighed softly. Her childish voice sounded surprisingly reliable: "Let's go! I'll take you to find him. Don't be afraid."

He stretched out his hand again: "I know roughly where they are."

Little Orange suddenly looked up in surprise at the little boy in front of him, who was about the same age as him. The boy had a slicked-back hairstyle, wore a white shirt, and short blue-black shorts that went past his knees.

He's 6 years old this year, so he doesn't actually need to be held... The adults in his family have been letting him be independent since he was very young. Only his grandfather hugs him and holds his hand when he sees him.

But seeing the impatience in the child's eyes, he hesitated, then thought that if he waited too long, his mother wouldn't be able to find him and he'd be scolded. Finally, he carefully extended his left hand and placed it in the boy's hand, saying, "Thank you."

Little Persimmon pulled him by the hand and led him toward the living room. He muttered under his breath, "Hmph, don't be so polite." Then he added, "Don't you have any friends?"

Little Orange paused for a moment, then replied, "No, Mom won't let me hand it in."

Little Persimmon: "Are you very afraid of your mother? When you were talking to her, your hand trembled. Did she hit you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengzi immediately shook her head: "No, it's just that my mom is quite strict... she doesn't let me play with other people, which would waste my time studying."

Little Persimmon laughed heartily: "My mom said that children should play a lot. Studying isn't that important. Being happy is the most important thing!"

I'll go talk to my mom later and ask her parents to send you over to play with me whenever they have time, and tell them to stop teaching you.

Little Orange looked at the person next to her and couldn't help but twitch her lips: "If you're not studying, what are you going to do?"

Little Persimmon stared in shock, her eyes wide: "You haven't played this at all? Did you learn it when you were a baby?"

Xiao Chengzi found the little boy holding her hand rather amusing. Was it possible for someone her age to be so adorable?

"Yeah, pretty much. But it's not about studying. When I can remember things, I learn to swim and play chess... There will be someone to train me."

Little Orange saw that the little boy wasn't so fierce, but rather quite easy to get along with, so she relaxed a lot.

Children are infinitely more innocent than adults. Although he is only six years old, he already knows a lot.

Little Persimmon: "You don't need to learn it specifically, right? It's just a hobby."

Little Orange: "But I won the children's swimming championship and the Go championship..."

Little Persimmon can't swim. He squeezed his hand and said, "This is just like doing a task. It's not fun at all."

Little Orange grabbed his hand tightly: "But you've already studied, why not get first place?"

Little Persimmon didn't want to talk to him about this anymore. The child seemed not to listen at all, only caring about getting first place. So she asked, "By the way, my name is Shao Chongsi, what's your name?"

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Chengzi realized his mother didn't want him to reveal it to others, so he simply gave himself a nickname on the spot: "Just call me Xiao Chengzi. My name also contains the character 'Cheng'."

Little Persimmon became interested upon hearing this and chuckled, "Then you can call me Little Persimmon."

A few months later

The two had become quite familiar with each other. Little Orange often brought his homework to Little Persimmon's house. He also wanted to take Little Persimmon to his house to play, but his house was not fun at all... It stood there coldly and lonely.

Besides, if Xiao Shizi goes to his house and his mother is home, she will definitely boss him around, and Xiao Shizi might get scolded too. Forget it, it's better to stay at Xiao Shizi's house.

Ningxia watched from the balcony as her two children below built a sandcastle, seemingly about to construct one. A smile crept onto her lips. "Honey," she said, "I've noticed that ever since our little guy started playing with the Gu family's young master, he's completely ignoring all his other friends. He doesn't even give them a second glance. Is this double standard inherited from you?"

Shao Jie hugged his wife from behind: "Xiao Si told me a couple of days ago that she was going to marry this young master from the Gu family. She told me this secretly."

Ningxia turned her head in surprise: "No way? What does this little brat know? Marry him? Young Master Gu is so outstanding, doesn't Xiao Si have any idea?"

"Xiao Si is smart, but people his age tend to be more playful. Besides, he's always the top student in his class."

Ningxia still felt it was unreliable: "It's a bit difficult. First of all, we can't get past Madam Gu. Let them play for now. What if Shao Chongsi makes a new friend in a while and remembers what we said?"

Shao Jie felt he had to defend his son: "No, the boys in our Shao family are all very loyal. He's never said anything like this before; this is the first time he's said it. Besides, the way Xiao Si seems to want to stick to Young Master Gu all day long doesn't seem like he's joking around."

Ningxia: "Kids these days are so mature. They're so young and already thinking about finding themselves wives."

……

Three years passed, and the two were inseparable outside of school. Until one day, Shao Chongsi accidentally slipped and fell into the water. Gu Chengyuan, who had to attend tutoring classes after school and was looking for him late, jumped in without thinking and rescued him.

When Shao Chongsi returned to shore, he had already fainted. Gu Chengyuan checked his breathing and found that he was still breathing. He had probably fainted from shock. While pressing hard on Shao Chongsi's stomach to make him vomit water, he shouted to a child passing by, "Quickly, call an adult!"

The child paused for a moment, then immediately ran out.

……

After this incident, the Gu family immediately sent someone to bring Gu Chengyuan home. It was early winter, and the pool water was freezing cold, so Gu Chengyuan returned home soaking wet.

After learning what had happened from the Gu family's bodyguards, Gu's mother immediately wanted to send someone over and explain her own situation. "Also, tell the Shao family not to mention Xiao Yuan again, and not to say that Xiao Yuan saved them. They will understand what I mean."

Mrs. Gu: "Housekeeper, take him to change his clothes, right away." He was soaked to the bone; in this weather, he was destined to suffer tonight. It was a hard night for her child.

Housekeeper: "Yes, madam."

After watching the child go upstairs, Gu's mother looked away. If Xiao Yuan hadn't saved that child today, wouldn't Xiao Yuan have been dragged down with him? How much psychological trauma would he have suffered?

Ultimately, it's because the Shao family has such poor safety awareness towards their child! They don't even watch him play by the pool, and the child is already nine years old and still hasn't learned to swim.

She frowned in annoyance. Her son had finally made a friend... but she really didn't agree with the Shao family's parenting style. It seemed best to cut ties with the Shao family.

……

A few days later

Shao Chongsi went mad: "It was Xiao Chengzi who saved me, not him! I want Xiao Chengzi!"

The butler said with difficulty, "It really was the stream that saved you, young master, you must have seen wrong..."

Shao Chongsi picked up the glass lampshade from the bedside table and smashed it against the butler's face. The crisp sound of shattering glass echoed in the room, and the butler was hit on the head.

"Get out! Get out! I only want Xiao Chengzi!" He didn't understand why these people were brainwashing him like crazy, saying that someone else had saved him.

After that day, Shao Chongsi began to pester his parents like crazy, but they started avoiding him.

He suspected that Xiao Chengzi was really in trouble because of him, otherwise why wouldn't they say anything? Was it because they couldn't bring themselves to say it?

Little Orange...why don't you come to see him?

He hoped Xiao Chengzi would be safe, and he would rather she break off all contact with him than have this happen...

several months

Shao's parents visited the Gu family multiple times, but to no avail. They said they would improve their parenting methods, but the Gu family still refused to let the two children be together.

Later, Shao Chongsi gradually became silent and withdrawn.

Because he thought that Little Orange might really have died on that cold night...

Bai Chongxuan, his childhood friend, also went abroad.

When Shao Chongsi was a freshman in college, he agreed to be with Yunxi for a short period of time because the butler who had worked for his family for most of his life was dying and wanted him to pass away in peace.

Furthermore, because Yunxi repeatedly used his name to do things, Shao Chongsi was very unhappy. The day he called Yunxi out to break up happened to be raining heavily.

Before he could leave, a black umbrella covered his head. The boy was wearing a black mask and smelled faintly of bitter orange. His eyelashes were reddish-brown... just like Little Orange!

Before he could react, the boy grabbed his hand, put the umbrella in his hand, and ran away.

Seeing the boy running away, Shao Chongsi immediately took out his phone and took a picture of his back, determined to find him.

However, things didn't go as planned; the park's security cameras didn't capture anything about Gu Chengyuan.

"Little Orange, is that you? You didn't want me to get wet in the rain... so you brought me an umbrella." A glimmer of hope rose in Shao Chongsi's heart, but he was also afraid of making a mistake.

They searched for a long time, but none of the people they found matched up.

Years later, he came to a dating reality show. He didn't want to come, but he saw Gu Chengyuan on the show. He saw those eyes; they were very similar, but he wasn't sure... because Gu Chengyuan's height was different. And Gu Chengyuan's personality was very different from Xiao Chengzi's; he was even hypocritical...

But he couldn't help but keep his eyes on Gu Chengyuan; he felt like he was about to have a mental breakdown on the show.

One day, Gu Chengyuan got drunk and took him back to his hotel room. He couldn't help but take off his shoes for him.

From then on, their heights matched!

It's that boy... but it might not be Xiao Chengzi. We need to observe him further.

However, this conjecture did not last long. When he returned to the Little Blue House the next day, he received a document on his computer detailing his drowning incident, along with a photo of Gu Chengyuan as a child.

At that moment, he was overjoyed, and even his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He firmly believed that Little Orange had saved him, and it turned out to be true.

Now, we finally know the whole story.

It turns out that Xiao Chengzi didn't leave voluntarily; she was forced... and Xiao Chengzi didn't do it on purpose either.

He then remembered that morning when Yan Guiyun said his mouth was for peeling oranges! It wasn't a sarcastic remark, but rather a subtle hint!

He was so stupid. For the first time, Shao Chongsi wanted to punch himself. He always bullied Xiao Chengzi... Would Xiao Chengzi forgive him?

Finally, he consulted with his brother Bai Chongxuan and decided to use the tactic of relentless persistence. In short, he was going to start a new life from today onwards!

……

Gu Chengyuan's perspective:

Holding a minor lawsuit, he made a special trip to Shao Chongsi's company, hoping to bump into Shao Chongsi. However, Shao Chongsi was chatting happily with his female colleagues and didn't notice or recognize him at all.

Part of the reason he became an actor was to make it easier for Shao Chongsi to find him; otherwise, he could have chosen a simpler profession. After all, the Gu family wouldn't let him actively seek out Shao Chongsi to acknowledge him, so this was the only way for Shao Chongsi to find him. Well, actually, it wasn't that; it was Gu Chengyuan who was embarrassed. Although he had the ability to stand up to the Gu family, he was too shy to admit it now.

He had visited this company many times, but Shao Chongsi had disappointed him greatly!

Enraged, Gu Chengyuan vowed never to speak to him again.

But I never expected to run into him again on a dating reality show.

Gu Chengyuan decided to brainwash himself and pretend he didn't know him.

However, this guy not only mooched off his meals, but also kept sticking to him, preventing him from having a chance to develop a relationship with Yi Ning. In addition, Yan Guiyun was extremely wary of him, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.

Who can help him get rid of this annoying guy?

A few weeks later, Gu Chengyuan was caught off guard and his identity was exposed. Although he was a little flustered, he decided to give up and be reckless, since he had plenty of money anyway.

Even after the reality show ended and Yan Guiyun and her husband got married and went on their honeymoon, they were still stuck in the same place.

But Shao Chongsi finally couldn't wait any longer.

"Wife, I really know I was wrong. I was so stupid..." Shao Chongsi cried for a long, long time while lying on his lap.

"Damn it, stop crying! Aren't you ashamed, you grown man?" Gu Chengyuan roughly rubbed his head and said, "You're clearly blind, yet you call yourself Little Persimmon."

"You are my most important friend and my favorite person. I really want to marry you. They are all married, and I am so envious." Shao Chongsi's tears almost burned the skin exposed on Gu Chengyuan's ripped jeans.

"Alright, who proposes while crying like you?"

“But I’ve begged you so many times, and you still won’t agree.” Shao Chongsi saw that everyone else had a license, while he was still driving illegally on the road.

It has to be said that Shao Chongsi really had him completely under his thumb.

The next day, after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, they announced their marriage online.

Shao Chongsi also bought headlines on multiple platforms to post their wedding photos.

He's satisfied now. He's the man of the movie star now. If those netizens call Gu Chengyuan "husband" again, he'll send them a lawyer's letter!

He opened his phone and saw a chorus of lamentations online. He smiled with satisfaction and received blessings from relatives, friends, and the guests on the dating reality show.

I got home and just closed the door

The two couldn't resist getting their licenses and starting work on the door.

"Wife... I love you so much. I've always wanted to keep you by my side forever since I was little, and I've only just managed to do it now..."

With his back to him, Gu Chengyuan heard the whisper in his ear, bit his lower lip, and hummed softly, "You still have time to say... uh... lightly..."
