Rebirth loves you

Looking at Gu Zichen's gradually disappearing back.
Xu Chuan opened his mouth wide, completely startled by Gu Zichen's appearance.
Since the beginning of high school, Young Master Gu seems to have completely changed himself, always calm and elegant, as if nothing or anyone can make Gu Zichen lose his composure.
However, Gu Dashao, who ran out of the classroom desperately at this time, completely subverted his usual image, how could Xu Chuan not be surprised?
While going downstairs, Gu Zichen called Chen Chi and asked him the exact location of Xuanxuan.
"Young master, this child came to City Z with his parents last week, and he just went to school yesterday..." Chen Chi's voice came from the phone,
"Our people have been monitoring the population flow in City Z, but Li Xuan showed up at the school yesterday, and we found him. There has been no record of him in the system for a week..."
"You mean there is a problem with his identity?" Gu Zichen interrupted Chen Chi.
"Yes." Chen Chi said, "Young Master, do you want us to check again?"
"No," Gu Zichen frowned, "Driving the car over here, we'll go to Xuanxuan's school now."
They fluttered.
This junior high school is already located in the outskirts of the city. The students in the school are all children of migrant workers in City Z, and the surrounding environment is also very poor.
Chen Chi went directly to Li Xuan's class teacher, but learned that he had already been picked up by his father at noon.
The car diverted to Li Xuan's home.The buildings in this community are in the style of 50 years ago. The alleys are narrow and there are telephone poles outside.
The accumulated water on the ground is in twos and threes, making it impossible to get down.
The car was too big to drive in and had to be parked on the side of the road.
The children frolicking at the door looked at the luxury car curiously. Chen Chi got out of the car and walked deep into the alley.
Gu Zichen leaned on the seat and closed his eyes. He knew that Xuanxuan's youth was not going well, but he never expected that Xuanxuan was born
Live in such an environment.
The people who live here are not rich. For the arrival of a man in suit and leather shoes like Chen Chi, everyone's eyes are different, curious, envious, and frightened.
Li Xuan's home is in a six-story attic at the end of the alley.
Chen Chi knocked on the old door, and a thin woman inside the door suddenly moved her shoulders, as if she was frightened, her eyes were fixed on the door, but she didn't dare to go forward to open the door.
Chen Chi knocked for 10 minutes, but the door didn't budge.He just left helplessly.
The woman inside the door breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called, "...Hey, where are you? Someone knocked on the door just now..."
I don't know what was said on the other side of the phone, and the woman screamed, "No! You can't do that..."
The voice suddenly suppressed, "No, I don't want it!"
Seeing Chen Chi approaching, Gu Zichen shook his head. Gu Zichen rubbed his forehead and ordered, "Go back, come back tomorrow."
Now that Xuanxuan's whereabouts are known, Gu Zichen can still endure another night.
It was almost noon when he came out of school. City Z was too big, and Li Xuan lived in the suburbs. After going back and forth, the sky had already begun to darken.
When the lights come on, the city's nightlife begins.
"Catch that kid!"
"Grandma, you dare to bite me! When I catch this bastard, I have to teach him a lesson!"
The young man's thin body was crumbling, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment, but the strength in his body did not know where it came from, and he ran forward desperately, chasing the several big men behind him until they were out of breath.
The dark alley looked like a monster's big mouth, and Li Xuan felt his heart was about to jump out of pain.
He really wanted to stop and take a rest, but he couldn't, once he fell into the hands of the people behind, the torture waiting for him would be thousands of times what he had suffered before.
No, must not be caught!
There is only one word left in Li Xuan's mind, and that is to escape!
Soon, he was about to leave the alley. There were vehicles passing by at the exit, and the headlights flickered away. He squinted subconsciously, but tripped over the debris under his feet.
The next moment the fist fell on him.
"Little bastard, you run pretty fast!" The man behind kicked Li Xuan, "Give me a hard hit! Tell him to have a long memory!"
The fists and feet of four or five strong men hit the young man chaotically.
"Hey, Boss, this kid is so disobedient, why don't we brothers go first? With this stubbornness, if he is sent to the boss and makes the boss angry, we can't afford it."
The man's voice was very obscene, and the others all laughed, the meaning in it was self-evident.
"Okay, I'll give this kid a bud."
The man called the boss stood up, moved his hands and feet, and watched the men under him strip off the boy's clothes on the ground two or three times. During the period, he even touched and pinched the boy.
He also pretended not to see it, and waited until they separated the boy's legs, untied the belt, squatted down, pinched the boy's chin, and were about to kiss the boy's mouth.
Li Xuan only felt pain all over his body. He was pressed on the cold ground, his hands and feet were restrained, and he couldn't move at all.
He was still young at this time, and had no idea what the other party was going to do to him, but the obscene tone of those people made him know that what they were going to do next was definitely not a good thing.
He struggled with all his strength, trying to get rid of the restraint, but he didn't know that this struggle made the blood of the person pressing him surge up.
The face of the person who hit him appeared in the blurred vision, and then the stinky breath full of alcohol came to his face.
Someone kneaded his inner thigh back and forth with rough hands, and the disgusting touch made him want to vomit.
It became difficult to breathe. I was kicked in the chest a few times just now, and every inhalation felt like a knife scraping my lungs.
He felt like he was going to die.I don't want to die...not reconciled...
At this moment, a glaring light came over, and the man holding Li Xuan was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, a gunshot rang out.
"boom!"
The man slapped his eyebrows and fell down.
At that moment, Li Xuan fell into a warm embrace, and the person behind him pressed his head into his embrace, and he heard a voice suppressing his anger in the haze.
"Aftermath."
Gu Zichen handed the gun to Chen Chi with a livid face, and the men who were holding Li Xuan just now were so scared that they could not speak.
Chen Chi ordered the two bodyguards behind him to deal with the matter here, and trotted to open the door by himself.
Gu Zichen tightened his grip on the man, if he hadn't happened to see this scene, he wouldn't dare to imagine how Xuanxuan would be tortured.
Xuanxuan's health is even more important, when Xuanxuan recovers, he will slowly settle accounts with those who have bullied Xuanxuan, and will not let anyone go!
The car soon arrived at Gu's hospital, Li Xuan's body looked terribly thin under the lights.
There are not only new wounds from tonight, but also some bruises, deep and shallow, obviously old wounds, and they should not have been caused at the same time. The old wounds were not healed, and new wounds were added. The wounds on his body will never heal .
Listening to the attending doctor's explanation, Gu Zichen frowned deeply.
"Young master..." Seeing his expression, the doctor lowered his voice, "Should I inform you about this matter?"
That child was severely beaten, let alone the younger one.
Gu Zichen glanced at him lightly: "Do what you are supposed to do."
He said this in a very flat tone, but for some reason, the attending doctor felt a lot of pressure, so he kept silent and dared not speak any more.
Fortunately, Li Xuan's internal organs were not injured. After he finished the infusion, Gu Zichen picked him up, walked out, and ordered: "Send someone to my villa in Bishuiyuan to wait."
He was unwilling to put Xuanxuan in the hospital to recuperate.
Perhaps it was because the last time he spent in the hospital in his previous life was too miserable, what Gu Zichen hated most in his life was the hospital.
"This..." The attending physician looked puzzled. Generally speaking, hospitals do not recommend patients to recuperate at home.
"All the instruments have been moved there." Gu Zichen also knew the reason for this, and leaving this sentence solved the doctor's difficulty.
The house in Bishuiyuan was his birthday gift this year.Since his academic performance has improved, although his relationship with his father is still not very good, if he has any requirements, his father will definitely satisfy him.
There are all kinds of servants here, and they are all selected by Gu Zichen himself. The housekeeper follows Gu's surname, and seeing that he brought someone back, he ordered people to prepare for supper early.
The hot water in the bathtub has been put, Gu Zichen carefully put Li Xuan into the water.
There is no wound on Li Xuan's skin, which does not prevent him from taking a bath.
He is so thin that his ribs are sticking out. He is obviously 13 years old. I am afraid that his figure is not as tall as other children who are ten years old.
Xu Shi was stimulated by the hot water, and Li Xuan finally woke up.What catches the eye is the bright wall, and the entire wall beside him is a mirror.
He had never seen such a place in his life.
He suddenly remembered that someone saved him in the end.
The pain in his body relieved a lot, and Li Xuan realized that he was lying in the water naked, naked, and nude.
"Xuanxuan..." Someone called his name.
Li Xuan turned his head, and a beautiful face came into view.
He was stunned for a moment. He had never seen such a good-looking person since he was a child, and he was much more beautiful than those movie stars.
The man smiled, and Li Xuan came back to his senses, thinking that he was naked, with a blush on his cheeks, he hurriedly lowered his head, and put his legs together in a panic.
Gu Zichen stretched out his hand and scratched his nose, and said with a smile, "Just woke up, I'll wash your hair."
Speaking of which, this was the first time Young Master Gu served someone, he was a little flustered, and even got the foam into Li Xuan's eyes halfway, the child didn't make a sound, if he didn't notice that Li Xuan's eyes were red, I washed it with water, maybe I have to call an ophthalmologist tomorrow.
He didn't attack lightly or hard, in fact, he pulled Li Xuan's hair so painfully many times, but Li Xuan didn't say a word.
In his memory, this was the first time someone washed his hair so gently.
Although it hurts, this pain is nothing compared to what I have suffered.
He always felt like he was dreaming, afraid that if he made a sound, all of this would disappear.
After washing, Gu Zichen carried Li Xuan out, wrapped him in a soft towel, put him on the bed, and found a set of his own pajamas for him to put on.
"Because I don't know your height, I don't have any clothes for you here, just wear them casually, and I'll take you to buy them when you get better."
☆、Xuan baby
Gu Zichen picked him up, "You're hungry, let's go down to eat."
Several side dishes were already set on the dining table downstairs, and a bowl of hot porridge was placed in front of Li Xuan, with a dazed expression on his face, staring at the delicate tableware in front of him, forgetting how to move.
"what happened?"
Li Xuan looked up at him, Gu Zichen patted his head, stretched his arms to hold the bowl.
"Come on, open your mouth." His voice was soft and coaxing.
Li Xuan opened his mouth in a daze, feeding the other one by one, finishing a bowl of porridge like this.
Gu Zichen carried Li Xuan back to the bedroom, pulled back the quilt and stuffed him in, let him pillow his arm, and kissed him on the forehead.
"Sleep well, don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Li Xuan closed his eyes.
Gu Zichen quietly looked at the boy in his arms, even in his sleep, he frowned slightly, thinking that he must have had some bad dreams.
His eyes turned cold, and he stroked Li Xuan's eyebrows with his fingers.
The next day, Li Xuan suddenly woke up from his dream. He still had to go to class, so he couldn't be late!
Wait, where is this?
Li Xuan frowned, wasn't it a dream last night?
How could he... It was really that person who saved him.
Someone opened the door and came in, Gu Zichen walked to the bed, "Does your baby still hurt?"
Li Xuan looked up at the beautiful boy in front of him, "Yes, you saved me?"
"That's right, I'm Gu Zichen, you can call me brother, baby."
Gu Zichen scratched his nose, was very intimate, and made a gesture of reaching out to hug him, Li Xuan stepped back vigilantly.
Gu Zichen was slightly stunned, and then saw the fearful eyes in the other person's eyes, but said stubbornly: "Thank you, thank you...I, I want to go home."
Gu Zichen squinted his eyes, remembering the first time he met Li Xuan in his previous life, he had the same fearful but stubborn eyes.
I couldn't help but tsk in my heart, knelt on the bed on one knee, and leaned forward, "Do you still remember what happened last night?"
Li Xuan frowned and recalled what happened last night. He remembered the gentleness from this person named Gu Zichen towards him. He liked that feeling, but...he is not stupid. OK?
"I remember..."
"That's fine," Gu Zichen pursed his lips, wrapped his arms around his shoulders with one hand, reached under his legs with the other, and hugged him forcefully, "Don't even think about going back to your home."
"What, what do you mean?"
Li Xuan was startled, and had to hook Gu Zichen's neck, and leaned his head on his shoulder. He could see Gu Zichen's handsome side face, and Li Xuan felt a little feverish for no reason.
Gu Zichen didn't answer, and carried him to the dining table.
When passing the living room, Li Xuan saw the wall clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and he had never woken up so late before.
Li Xuan was very upset. Last night his father took him to that bar and left. He might not understand why his father did this before, but what happened after that made him understand vaguely some.
If it wasn't for Gu Zichen in front of him, he would have lost half of his life last night.
I just don't know if the people in the bar didn't catch him, would they find him at home, if those people troubled his father, when he went back, he would have to be beaten by his father again.
Maybe take him to the bar after the beating...
He doesn't like this father, and he doesn't like this family, but compared to his family, he is more unwilling to go back to the orphanage.
I don't know if it was breakfast or lunch, but they still ate porridge, pork rib porridge, two seasonal vegetables, and a silky chicken soup.
While eating the porridge, Gu Zichen wiped the corners of Li Xuan's mouth with a tissue, this action made Li Xuan froze, and almost knocked over the spoon.
The place touched by Gu Zichen's fingers felt numb like an electric shock.
"Gu..."
"Call me brother."
"Brother, brother."
"Well, baby?"
Gu Zichen tilted his head to look at him, his eyes were very serious.
The sound of "baby" made Li Xuan's heart tremble. No one has ever called him that when he grows up.
There is also Gu Zichen's serious and gentle gaze, which always gives him the illusion that he is being pampered.
This doesn't feel right, Li Xuan told himself.
"Don't you like this porridge? I'll ask the butler to change it..."
"No, it's not!" Li Xuan was anxious.
"Really?" Gu Zichen asked.
"En." Li Xuan nodded his head heavily, fearing that Gu Zichen would say something, and said something, he put his head down and took a few bites, but couldn't help but said, "That... can you not call me baby?"
He was afraid, as if he had never eaten candy before, and suddenly he ate it once, and he would never be able to forget that sweet feeling in the future.
If it is said that after eating once, you can eat it again anytime and anywhere in the future, naturally there is nothing wrong with it. The problem is that if you eat it once, you will never have it again. Lose.
It's like a kind of sex.
After eating this meal, Gu Zichen will probably see him off. During this period, he never wants to hear Gu Zichen calling himself a treasure again.
"Why?" Gu Zichen felt a little distressed, and smiled, "What do you call you? Xuanxuan? Xiaoxuan?"
"I……"
"Let's just call it baby," Gu Zichen rubbed Li Xuan's hair, "You are my baby."
Gu Zichen sighed secretly, "Eat obediently."
He walked into the yard, lit a cigarette for himself with his back against the trunk of the camphor tree, breathed out a mouthful of white mist, and squinted his eyes.
In his life, he planned to reform himself and seldom smoked. No matter how upset he was, he would just light it up and hold it in his mouth.
After he understood Li Xuan's mind just now, he felt an inexplicable upset, which he rarely felt in his previous life.
Speaking of which, in his previous life, Gu Zichen had never really liked anyone as a playboy.
Whoever he wants, male or female, is too simple.
No one has the qualifications for him to spend his time thinking about it.
In this life, the only child in the room he is willing to spend his time on is the one.
Seeing Li Xuan's cautious eyes, I somehow understood it. Not only did I understand it, but I also felt distressed. This feeling is quite fresh, and this is what it feels like to feel sorry for someone—it feels good.
Gu Zichen pinched out his cigarette at the door and entered the restaurant, where Li Xuan had already eaten.
"Honey, go to a play with my brother."
"Gu... Brother, I want to go home."
Gu Zichen flicked the tip of his nose, "Little idiot, just now I said you don't have to go back to that house, did you forget it so soon?"
Li Xuan was at a loss, "My father..."
"Okay, I'll explain to you when I get in the car."
Gu Zichen still didn't wait for him to react, picked him up and walked outside, Li Xuan blushed all of a sudden, he was a half-teen year old boy, he didn't respond when he was hugged like this when he went downstairs just now Come here, there is still a servant watching in the living room.
"Brother... I can walk by myself, can you let me down?" The voice was like a mosquito.
"No." Gu Zichen replied simply.
Seeing Li Xuan's shameful and angry face, Gu Zichen's bad mood miraculously improved.
The two got into the car, and the car started slowly, walking very smoothly along the way.
"Let's go and deal with your business now. After this matter is settled, you will live with your brother in the future."
As soon as Gu Zichen got in the car, Li Xuan sat beside him and stared at him.
"Don't believe me?" Gu Zichen raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pinched Li Xuan's ear, "Your school has already asked for leave for you, so don't worry about it. But it doesn't matter if you don't ask, the transfer procedure will be done tomorrow."
Li Xuan blinked, and struggled to utter a few words, "I can understand that you mean that you want to adopt me?"
"Ruzi can be taught."
Li Xuan was dumbfounded.
The more the car drove, the scenery outside the window became more and more decadent. Li Xuan stared out of the window, only to realize that this was the place where his family lived.
Gu Zichen jumped out of the car and smiled towards the door, "Come here, baby."
"I'll come down by myself." Li Xuan held the car door.
Gu Zichen rushed forward and hugged the person directly, his tone was a little cold, "Be good, your injury is still not healed."
Li Xuan didn't dare to say anything, and let him hug him, wrapping his arms around Gu Zichen's neck, and buried his face in his chest, feeling that he couldn't see anyone like this.
Chen Chi followed Gu Zichen, and there were two bodyguards behind him.
In the eyes of people in this old neighborhood, their battle was really terrible. The adults and children who were idle all looked at them as if they were watching the excitement, and those who were frightened by the battle also hid in their houses and sneaked a look at them.
Walking to the innermost building and going up to the small attic above the sixth floor, Gu Zichen put Li Xuan on the ground, but still put his arms around his waist and stuck to himself.
When he went upstairs just now, he felt Li Xuan's fear. On the night he rescued Li Xuan, Chen Chi had already passed on the results of the investigation to him. He naturally knew what Li Xuan's so-called 'home' looked like. .
I also know what kind of virtue his so-called 'father' is.
The bodyguard kicked the door open, and a woman screamed inside the door, followed by panicked voices.
"It's none of my business! It's none of my business! I have no money! If you want money, go find Li! Don't come to me! I have no money!"
The woman's voice was sharp and piercing.
"Shut up!" Gu Zichen scolded.
The bodyguard kicked the woman, stepped forward and cut her arm backwards, and found a dirty one in the room that would not gag her mouth.
Gu Zichen felt the people around him tremble, he tightened his arms and brought them into his arms, and gently patted Li Xuan's back with his other hand, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here."
The woman had always thought that the person who broke into her house was here to ask for a debt, and she was busy begging for mercy before she could see the person clearly, but now she only looked up when she heard Gu Zichen's voice.
The woman didn't pay attention to Li Xuan just now, but now Li Xuan is completely surrounded by Gu Zichen's arms, and he is still wearing new clothes, so he can only see his back.
But when she looked up just now, she happened to see a side face, and Li Xuan's iconic light brown hair - it was a pure natural color, and it definitely couldn't be dyed.
"Woo, woo, woo." The woman struggled, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her.
This room is empty, just a living room, a bedroom, no kitchen, just set up a table in the living room to cook, and there is a small bed next to it, I think it is Li Xuan's bed.
A trace of hostility flashed in Gu Zichen's eyes—his Xuanxuan lived in such a place!
He retracted his arms again, hugging the person in his arms even tighter.
The air pressure in the room was extremely low, Gu Zichen glanced at Chen Chi, Chen Chi picked up the phone and said something, soon there was a sound on the corridor, and a man fell in from the door.
The man was still muttering: "Don't push, don't push! Give me two more months, no, no, one month, one month and I'll pay it back!"
Two tall men in black suits came in behind him, the man got up from the ground, threw himself in front of the man on the left and hugged the man's leg, "Brother, no, sir, please be more generous, really Just one month, one month! Didn't I put that kid Li Xuan in your place yesterday, didn't I agree to pay off half of my debt..."
Gu Zichen's eyes turned cold, he let go of Li Xuan, and walked over to kick the man in two or three steps.
"Ouch, ouch! Why are you doing this! Don't hit, don't hit!"
The two people who pushed him in behind were actually Gu Zichen's bodyguards. It was Li Xuan's adoptive father who thought they were here to collect debts, but they still haven't figured it out yet.
The bodyguard took the man into custody, and a document was placed in front of him.
"Sign this document." Chen Chi ordered, "Whether or not you will be let go depends on our young master's will."
"Okay, I'll sign, I'll sign!"
The man signed his name tremblingly. Now as long as he can survive, let alone one document, he will sign ten more.
Chen Chi put away the signed documents, and the man gave Gu Zichen a sneaky look, but didn't get up, just knelt and crawled towards Gu Zichen, but was kicked to the ground by the bodyguard.
Gu Zichen put his arms around Li Xuan, stroked his head, bent down and asked in his ear, "Honey, do you want one hand from him, or two hands from him?"
The words were not loud, but the room was too small for everyone to hear.
"No no! Young master, you have a lot of people, please don't cut off my hand!" The man on the ground burst into tears and snot, and then he saw Li Xuan, and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve, his eyes revealed surprise, "Xuanxuan! Xuanxuan, save Dad!"
Li Xuan stared at him with brown eyes, silent.
During the years he was adopted by this man, he was often beaten.He had seen all kinds of vicious appearances of this person, but he had never seen such a wimpy appearance of this person.
It's not that he doesn't want to escape, even if he goes back to the orphanage, but his adoptive mother...he looked at the trembling woman beside him, and he knew that woman couldn't bear children, so he was adopted back.
His adoptive mother was very cowardly. When he was beaten into a coma by his adoptive father, she didn't think about sending herself back to the orphanage.
I want children, but I can't protect them.
With Li Xuan, the woman is not beaten alone, but they are beaten together.
It seems that one injury has become two people to bear.
I don't know if the person he called "Mom" had such thoughts, so even if Li Xuan was beaten to death by his adoptive father one day, that woman would probably not let him go.
"Baby?" Gu Zichen called out, sighing in his heart that this kid wouldn't be so soft-hearted, "Do you want to let him go..."
"No," Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Gu Zichen. It was the first time he took the initiative to pull Gu Zichen's hand, "I need two hands."
When he said this, he stared nervously at Gu Zichen—would he feel that he was too vicious?
"Okay," Gu Zichen smiled, and Li Xuan was stunned by that smile. Gu Zichen told Chen Chi, "Then he needs two hands."
Chen Chi bowed his head in agreement.
Gu Zichen hugged Li Xuan and went out, the door closed behind them, and then there was a scream.
He covered Li Xuan's ears, "Don't listen, let's go home."
He covered Li Xuan's ears all the way down the stairs, and when he got downstairs, he carried Li Xuan back to the car.
On the way back, Li Xuan fell asleep. He woke up on the bed. The doctor had come over here. Seeing that he woke up, Gu Zichen checked him and took medicine.
In the afternoon, Chen Chi came over and delivered a bunch of clothes, all of which were bought according to Li Xuan's height.
The room next door to Gu Zichen has been tidied up, and all the new clothes are hung up, so they can live in directly tonight.
☆, "Dad, you owe me."
In the middle of the night, Li Xuan woke up from a nightmare.
He was a little dazed in the room he was in now, and beside him was a warm body, with one arm of that person wrapping around his waist, he thought for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a feeling of peace of mind gradually surfaced in his heart.
Li Xuan's movements woke up Gu Zichen: "Why are you awake, are you hungry?"
Li Xuan turned sideways and gently grabbed Gu Zichen's pajamas: "Tell me, am I dreaming?"
"Huh?" Gu Zichen was puzzled, he turned on the bedside lamp, and saw the boy's eyes shining in the warm orange light, "What dream?"
"I really got out of that house, didn't I?"
"Of course." Gu Zichen kissed his forehead, "It's written in black and white on the document, your guardian will be me from now on."
"Hey, sleep, when you wake up tomorrow, let's forget all the unhappy things before, okay?"
Gu Zichen coaxed him to sleep very patiently.
Li Xuan's transfer procedures were completed early, but because of his injuries and his insecure heart, Gu Zichen insisted on taking a week off to stay with him at home.
……
"I heard you raised a child?"
On the weekend when Gu Zichen returned home from the villa, his father called him into the study.
"Yes." He didn't do this in secret, and he didn't intend to hide it from anyone, so there was nothing to deny.
Father Gu frowned: "Where did that child come from? Is his background innocent? You are only a little old, and you learned how to raise children. Now you don't hang out with your group of cronies. I think you have really changed your mind. I dare you to change your tricks." Let's play!"
"Why do you raise such a child? Don't tell me that you are doing charity! If you really want to do charity, you can just donate money directly, and you won't bring him back to raise him yourself. Don't make it for me when the time comes What a scandal! If something like that happens, I won't help you."
In the circle of high society, the surface is bright and beautiful, but the corruption inside is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Father Gu's worries may not be unreasonable, he himself is unwilling to think in that dirty direction, but this beating is necessary.
Gu Zichen sighed, as long as his father faced him, he would always think the worst about everything.
He lazily said: "I haven't done anything out of the ordinary this year. I study hard and make progress every day. I never skip class and I am the first in grade. Is it impossible to change your bad impression of me? I am your kind , if you can’t trust me, can you still not trust yourself?”
Gu's father just took a puff of his cigar, when he heard this, he immediately choked, and said angrily, "Gu Zichen! What are you talking about!"
Gu Zichen added fuel to the fire: "Could it be that my stepmother spoke ill of me in front of you again?"
boom--!
Father Gu patted the desk with one hand: "Do you really want to talk to me like this? Hasn't your mother been good enough since you were a child? You used to be very close to your mother, why have you become so close since you went to high school?" It's like an enemy! You can't be more obedient and let your mother stop worrying!"
"He's not my mother."
Gu Zichen stared at his father and said word by word.
"Father, you know best how Zhang Jiali raised me since she was a child. Outsiders can't see it, and I don't believe you, the head of the Gu family, can't see it either."
Gu Zichen spoke calmly, but what he said was too impulsive: "But you never care, I don't know if you don't have the energy to care, or you don't want to care. I was young and naive before, and I couldn't see that woman With all my heart, I still think of her as my own mother, now that I'm older, of course I won't be stupid anymore."
"Dad, you owe me."
"Get out of here!" Gu's father yelled loudly, almost overturning the table.
Gu Zichen got up and went out. The moment the door closed, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the study.
Leaning his back against the wall, Gu Zichen rubbed his face and smiled wryly, he was still too impulsive, he couldn't control himself well, why did he suddenly say that...
Now it's all right, the already precarious relationship with his father will never be pulled back.
"Xiaochen, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with Dad?"
A woman's concerned voice sounded, Gu Zichen closed his eyes, raised his head and showed a sarcastic smile: "Don't call me so affectionate."
These words choked back all the worrying words Zhang Jiali wanted to say. For a moment, she didn't know whether to maintain her current expression or reprimand him angrily, which made her beautiful face distort immediately.
Gu Zichen passed Zhang Jiali and went downstairs, saw Gu Zilin playing in the yard, and greeted him kindly: "Xiao Lin, have you finished your homework?"
"Brother," Gu Zilin blushed, "Not yet..."
"It's okay," Gu Zichen patted his head, "Even if you don't become a teacher, I won't do anything to you. Dad will tell the teacher."
"Really, really?" Gu Zilin opened his eyes wide, looking at his brother blankly.
"Well, of course. My brother will take you to play, okay? There is a little brother there, you will definitely like him, do you want to know him?"
Gu Zilin's childhood life can be regarded as lifeless.
On the one hand, Zhang Jiali devoted herself to turning Gu Zichen into a waste, on the other hand, she was too strict with her own son.
He interfered in everything from basic necessities of life, never had snacks since he was a child, was not allowed to watch TV for more than half an hour a day, and was not allowed to make friends with children at school, saying that those people would not be able to help him in the future, even if he was a classmate, it would only last a few years, It is impossible to make friends for a lifetime.
Overly strong mothers always raise weak children.
Gu Zilin was only eight years old, and already a little withdrawn, rarely laughed or talked.
From outsiders' perspective, he is young and mature, and every time guests come to the house, they praise Gu Zilin for being sensible and make Zhang Jiali very happy.
In fact, if it were a child from a normal family, this age would be the time when cats dislike dogs and make trouble all day long.
Moreover, Zhang Jiali has been indulgent to Gu Zichen all the time, which has left a serious shadow in Gu Zilin's heart, thinking that he does not please his mother, and his personality becomes more and more dull.
In the past year, Gu Zichen has been honest with Zhang Jiali, but he has been able to chat with Gu Zilin very well. Gu Zilin's impression of his brother has also changed. Besides, Gu Zichen is now the first grade in their school's high school, even if he is only in elementary school, I have also heard a lot about my brother.
At this moment, my brother said to take him out to play, his little heart was so excited that he forgot to tell his mother and agreed quickly.
"Let's go." Gu Zichen took his little hand and walked towards the gate.
"Xiaochen! Where are you taking Xiaolin?!" Zhang Jiali ran out of the house in a hurry, contrary to her usual calmness.
"Xiao Lin, come back and do your homework, be obedient!"
Hearing his mother's voice, Gu Zilin grasped Gu Zichen's hand reflexively. In fact, he really wanted to say that he had finished all the homework assigned by the teacher, and that his mother had assigned other assignments. He didn't understand that he had already mastered it. Why do so much more.
"Auntie, I'm taking Xiaolin out to play, what are you worried about?" Gu Zichen looked at the woman in front of him with a half-smile, "Afraid I'll do something to Xiaolin? I haven't
Xu Chuan opened his mouth wide, completely startled by Gu Zichen's appearance.
Since the beginning of high school, Young Master Gu seems to have completely changed himself, always calm and elegant, as if nothing or anyone can make Gu Zichen lose his composure.
However, Gu Dashao, who ran out of the classroom desperately at this time, completely subverted his usual image, how could Xu Chuan not be surprised?
While going downstairs, Gu Zichen called Chen Chi and asked him the exact location of Xuanxuan.
"Young master, this child came to City Z with his parents last week, and he just went to school yesterday..." Chen Chi's voice came from the phone,
"Our people have been monitoring the population flow in City Z, but Li Xuan showed up at the school yesterday, and we found him. There has been no record of him in the system for a week..."
"You mean there is a problem with his identity?" Gu Zichen interrupted Chen Chi.
"Yes." Chen Chi said, "Young Master, do you want us to check again?"
"No," Gu Zichen frowned, "Driving the car over here, we'll go to Xuanxuan's school now."
They fluttered.
This junior high school is already located in the outskirts of the city. The students in the school are all children of migrant workers in City Z, and the surrounding environment is also very poor.
Chen Chi went directly to Li Xuan's class teacher, but learned that he had already been picked up by his father at noon.
The car diverted to Li Xuan's home.The buildings in this community are in the style of 50 years ago. The alleys are narrow and there are telephone poles outside.
The accumulated water on the ground is in twos and threes, making it impossible to get down.
The car was too big to drive in and had to be parked on the side of the road.
The children frolicking at the door looked at the luxury car curiously. Chen Chi got out of the car and walked deep into the alley.
Gu Zichen leaned on the seat and closed his eyes. He knew that Xuanxuan's youth was not going well, but he never expected that Xuanxuan was born
Live in such an environment.
The people who live here are not rich. For the arrival of a man in suit and leather shoes like Chen Chi, everyone's eyes are different, curious, envious, and frightened.
Li Xuan's home is in a six-story attic at the end of the alley.
Chen Chi knocked on the old door, and a thin woman inside the door suddenly moved her shoulders, as if she was frightened, her eyes were fixed on the door, but she didn't dare to go forward to open the door.
Chen Chi knocked for 10 minutes, but the door didn't budge.He just left helplessly.
The woman inside the door breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called, "...Hey, where are you? Someone knocked on the door just now..."
I don't know what was said on the other side of the phone, and the woman screamed, "No! You can't do that..."
The voice suddenly suppressed, "No, I don't want it!"
Seeing Chen Chi approaching, Gu Zichen shook his head. Gu Zichen rubbed his forehead and ordered, "Go back, come back tomorrow."
Now that Xuanxuan's whereabouts are known, Gu Zichen can still endure another night.
It was almost noon when he came out of school. City Z was too big, and Li Xuan lived in the suburbs. After going back and forth, the sky had already begun to darken.
When the lights come on, the city's nightlife begins.
"Catch that kid!"
"Grandma, you dare to bite me! When I catch this bastard, I have to teach him a lesson!"
The young man's thin body was crumbling, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment, but the strength in his body did not know where it came from, and he ran forward desperately, chasing the several big men behind him until they were out of breath.
The dark alley looked like a monster's big mouth, and Li Xuan felt his heart was about to jump out of pain.
He really wanted to stop and take a rest, but he couldn't, once he fell into the hands of the people behind, the torture waiting for him would be thousands of times what he had suffered before.
No, must not be caught!
There is only one word left in Li Xuan's mind, and that is to escape!
Soon, he was about to leave the alley. There were vehicles passing by at the exit, and the headlights flickered away. He squinted subconsciously, but tripped over the debris under his feet.
The next moment the fist fell on him.
"Little bastard, you run pretty fast!" The man behind kicked Li Xuan, "Give me a hard hit! Tell him to have a long memory!"
The fists and feet of four or five strong men hit the young man chaotically.
"Hey, Boss, this kid is so disobedient, why don't we brothers go first? With this stubbornness, if he is sent to the boss and makes the boss angry, we can't afford it."
The man's voice was very obscene, and the others all laughed, the meaning in it was self-evident.
"Okay, I'll give this kid a bud."
The man called the boss stood up, moved his hands and feet, and watched the men under him strip off the boy's clothes on the ground two or three times. During the period, he even touched and pinched the boy.
He also pretended not to see it, and waited until they separated the boy's legs, untied the belt, squatted down, pinched the boy's chin, and were about to kiss the boy's mouth.
Li Xuan only felt pain all over his body. He was pressed on the cold ground, his hands and feet were restrained, and he couldn't move at all.
He was still young at this time, and had no idea what the other party was going to do to him, but the obscene tone of those people made him know that what they were going to do next was definitely not a good thing.
He struggled with all his strength, trying to get rid of the restraint, but he didn't know that this struggle made the blood of the person pressing him surge up.
The face of the person who hit him appeared in the blurred vision, and then the stinky breath full of alcohol came to his face.
Someone kneaded his inner thigh back and forth with rough hands, and the disgusting touch made him want to vomit.
It became difficult to breathe. I was kicked in the chest a few times just now, and every inhalation felt like a knife scraping my lungs.
He felt like he was going to die.I don't want to die...not reconciled...
At this moment, a glaring light came over, and the man holding Li Xuan was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, a gunshot rang out.
"boom!"
The man slapped his eyebrows and fell down.
At that moment, Li Xuan fell into a warm embrace, and the person behind him pressed his head into his embrace, and he heard a voice suppressing his anger in the haze.
"Aftermath."
Gu Zichen handed the gun to Chen Chi with a livid face, and the men who were holding Li Xuan just now were so scared that they could not speak.
Chen Chi ordered the two bodyguards behind him to deal with the matter here, and trotted to open the door by himself.
Gu Zichen tightened his grip on the man, if he hadn't happened to see this scene, he wouldn't dare to imagine how Xuanxuan would be tortured.
Xuanxuan's health is even more important, when Xuanxuan recovers, he will slowly settle accounts with those who have bullied Xuanxuan, and will not let anyone go!
The car soon arrived at Gu's hospital, Li Xuan's body looked terribly thin under the lights.
There are not only new wounds from tonight, but also some bruises, deep and shallow, obviously old wounds, and they should not have been caused at the same time. The old wounds were not healed, and new wounds were added. The wounds on his body will never heal .
Listening to the attending doctor's explanation, Gu Zichen frowned deeply.
"Young master..." Seeing his expression, the doctor lowered his voice, "Should I inform you about this matter?"
That child was severely beaten, let alone the younger one.
Gu Zichen glanced at him lightly: "Do what you are supposed to do."
He said this in a very flat tone, but for some reason, the attending doctor felt a lot of pressure, so he kept silent and dared not speak any more.
Fortunately, Li Xuan's internal organs were not injured. After he finished the infusion, Gu Zichen picked him up, walked out, and ordered: "Send someone to my villa in Bishuiyuan to wait."
He was unwilling to put Xuanxuan in the hospital to recuperate.
Perhaps it was because the last time he spent in the hospital in his previous life was too miserable, what Gu Zichen hated most in his life was the hospital.
"This..." The attending physician looked puzzled. Generally speaking, hospitals do not recommend patients to recuperate at home.
"All the instruments have been moved there." Gu Zichen also knew the reason for this, and leaving this sentence solved the doctor's difficulty.
The house in Bishuiyuan was his birthday gift this year.Since his academic performance has improved, although his relationship with his father is still not very good, if he has any requirements, his father will definitely satisfy him.
There are all kinds of servants here, and they are all selected by Gu Zichen himself. The housekeeper follows Gu's surname, and seeing that he brought someone back, he ordered people to prepare for supper early.
The hot water in the bathtub has been put, Gu Zichen carefully put Li Xuan into the water.
There is no wound on Li Xuan's skin, which does not prevent him from taking a bath.
He is so thin that his ribs are sticking out. He is obviously 13 years old. I am afraid that his figure is not as tall as other children who are ten years old.
Xu Shi was stimulated by the hot water, and Li Xuan finally woke up.What catches the eye is the bright wall, and the entire wall beside him is a mirror.
He had never seen such a place in his life.
He suddenly remembered that someone saved him in the end.
The pain in his body relieved a lot, and Li Xuan realized that he was lying in the water naked, naked, and nude.
"Xuanxuan..." Someone called his name.
Li Xuan turned his head, and a beautiful face came into view.
He was stunned for a moment. He had never seen such a good-looking person since he was a child, and he was much more beautiful than those movie stars.
The man smiled, and Li Xuan came back to his senses, thinking that he was naked, with a blush on his cheeks, he hurriedly lowered his head, and put his legs together in a panic.
Gu Zichen stretched out his hand and scratched his nose, and said with a smile, "Just woke up, I'll wash your hair."
Speaking of which, this was the first time Young Master Gu served someone, he was a little flustered, and even got the foam into Li Xuan's eyes halfway, the child didn't make a sound, if he didn't notice that Li Xuan's eyes were red, I washed it with water, maybe I have to call an ophthalmologist tomorrow.
He didn't attack lightly or hard, in fact, he pulled Li Xuan's hair so painfully many times, but Li Xuan didn't say a word.
In his memory, this was the first time someone washed his hair so gently.
Although it hurts, this pain is nothing compared to what I have suffered.
He always felt like he was dreaming, afraid that if he made a sound, all of this would disappear.
After washing, Gu Zichen carried Li Xuan out, wrapped him in a soft towel, put him on the bed, and found a set of his own pajamas for him to put on.
"Because I don't know your height, I don't have any clothes for you here, just wear them casually, and I'll take you to buy them when you get better."
☆、Xuan baby
Gu Zichen picked him up, "You're hungry, let's go down to eat."
Several side dishes were already set on the dining table downstairs, and a bowl of hot porridge was placed in front of Li Xuan, with a dazed expression on his face, staring at the delicate tableware in front of him, forgetting how to move.
"what happened?"
Li Xuan looked up at him, Gu Zichen patted his head, stretched his arms to hold the bowl.
"Come on, open your mouth." His voice was soft and coaxing.
Li Xuan opened his mouth in a daze, feeding the other one by one, finishing a bowl of porridge like this.
Gu Zichen carried Li Xuan back to the bedroom, pulled back the quilt and stuffed him in, let him pillow his arm, and kissed him on the forehead.
"Sleep well, don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Li Xuan closed his eyes.
Gu Zichen quietly looked at the boy in his arms, even in his sleep, he frowned slightly, thinking that he must have had some bad dreams.
His eyes turned cold, and he stroked Li Xuan's eyebrows with his fingers.
The next day, Li Xuan suddenly woke up from his dream. He still had to go to class, so he couldn't be late!
Wait, where is this?
Li Xuan frowned, wasn't it a dream last night?
How could he... It was really that person who saved him.
Someone opened the door and came in, Gu Zichen walked to the bed, "Does your baby still hurt?"
Li Xuan looked up at the beautiful boy in front of him, "Yes, you saved me?"
"That's right, I'm Gu Zichen, you can call me brother, baby."
Gu Zichen scratched his nose, was very intimate, and made a gesture of reaching out to hug him, Li Xuan stepped back vigilantly.
Gu Zichen was slightly stunned, and then saw the fearful eyes in the other person's eyes, but said stubbornly: "Thank you, thank you...I, I want to go home."
Gu Zichen squinted his eyes, remembering the first time he met Li Xuan in his previous life, he had the same fearful but stubborn eyes.
I couldn't help but tsk in my heart, knelt on the bed on one knee, and leaned forward, "Do you still remember what happened last night?"
Li Xuan frowned and recalled what happened last night. He remembered the gentleness from this person named Gu Zichen towards him. He liked that feeling, but...he is not stupid. OK?
"I remember..."
"That's fine," Gu Zichen pursed his lips, wrapped his arms around his shoulders with one hand, reached under his legs with the other, and hugged him forcefully, "Don't even think about going back to your home."
"What, what do you mean?"
Li Xuan was startled, and had to hook Gu Zichen's neck, and leaned his head on his shoulder. He could see Gu Zichen's handsome side face, and Li Xuan felt a little feverish for no reason.
Gu Zichen didn't answer, and carried him to the dining table.
When passing the living room, Li Xuan saw the wall clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and he had never woken up so late before.
Li Xuan was very upset. Last night his father took him to that bar and left. He might not understand why his father did this before, but what happened after that made him understand vaguely some.
If it wasn't for Gu Zichen in front of him, he would have lost half of his life last night.
I just don't know if the people in the bar didn't catch him, would they find him at home, if those people troubled his father, when he went back, he would have to be beaten by his father again.
Maybe take him to the bar after the beating...
He doesn't like this father, and he doesn't like this family, but compared to his family, he is more unwilling to go back to the orphanage.
I don't know if it was breakfast or lunch, but they still ate porridge, pork rib porridge, two seasonal vegetables, and a silky chicken soup.
While eating the porridge, Gu Zichen wiped the corners of Li Xuan's mouth with a tissue, this action made Li Xuan froze, and almost knocked over the spoon.
The place touched by Gu Zichen's fingers felt numb like an electric shock.
"Gu..."
"Call me brother."
"Brother, brother."
"Well, baby?"
Gu Zichen tilted his head to look at him, his eyes were very serious.
The sound of "baby" made Li Xuan's heart tremble. No one has ever called him that when he grows up.
There is also Gu Zichen's serious and gentle gaze, which always gives him the illusion that he is being pampered.
This doesn't feel right, Li Xuan told himself.
"Don't you like this porridge? I'll ask the butler to change it..."
"No, it's not!" Li Xuan was anxious.
"Really?" Gu Zichen asked.
"En." Li Xuan nodded his head heavily, fearing that Gu Zichen would say something, and said something, he put his head down and took a few bites, but couldn't help but said, "That... can you not call me baby?"
He was afraid, as if he had never eaten candy before, and suddenly he ate it once, and he would never be able to forget that sweet feeling in the future.
If it is said that after eating once, you can eat it again anytime and anywhere in the future, naturally there is nothing wrong with it. The problem is that if you eat it once, you will never have it again. Lose.
It's like a kind of sex.
After eating this meal, Gu Zichen will probably see him off. During this period, he never wants to hear Gu Zichen calling himself a treasure again.
"Why?" Gu Zichen felt a little distressed, and smiled, "What do you call you? Xuanxuan? Xiaoxuan?"
"I……"
"Let's just call it baby," Gu Zichen rubbed Li Xuan's hair, "You are my baby."
Gu Zichen sighed secretly, "Eat obediently."
He walked into the yard, lit a cigarette for himself with his back against the trunk of the camphor tree, breathed out a mouthful of white mist, and squinted his eyes.
In his life, he planned to reform himself and seldom smoked. No matter how upset he was, he would just light it up and hold it in his mouth.
After he understood Li Xuan's mind just now, he felt an inexplicable upset, which he rarely felt in his previous life.
Speaking of which, in his previous life, Gu Zichen had never really liked anyone as a playboy.
Whoever he wants, male or female, is too simple.
No one has the qualifications for him to spend his time thinking about it.
In this life, the only child in the room he is willing to spend his time on is the one.
Seeing Li Xuan's cautious eyes, I somehow understood it. Not only did I understand it, but I also felt distressed. This feeling is quite fresh, and this is what it feels like to feel sorry for someone—it feels good.
Gu Zichen pinched out his cigarette at the door and entered the restaurant, where Li Xuan had already eaten.
"Honey, go to a play with my brother."
"Gu... Brother, I want to go home."
Gu Zichen flicked the tip of his nose, "Little idiot, just now I said you don't have to go back to that house, did you forget it so soon?"
Li Xuan was at a loss, "My father..."
"Okay, I'll explain to you when I get in the car."
Gu Zichen still didn't wait for him to react, picked him up and walked outside, Li Xuan blushed all of a sudden, he was a half-teen year old boy, he didn't respond when he was hugged like this when he went downstairs just now Come here, there is still a servant watching in the living room.
"Brother... I can walk by myself, can you let me down?" The voice was like a mosquito.
"No." Gu Zichen replied simply.
Seeing Li Xuan's shameful and angry face, Gu Zichen's bad mood miraculously improved.
The two got into the car, and the car started slowly, walking very smoothly along the way.
"Let's go and deal with your business now. After this matter is settled, you will live with your brother in the future."
As soon as Gu Zichen got in the car, Li Xuan sat beside him and stared at him.
"Don't believe me?" Gu Zichen raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pinched Li Xuan's ear, "Your school has already asked for leave for you, so don't worry about it. But it doesn't matter if you don't ask, the transfer procedure will be done tomorrow."
Li Xuan blinked, and struggled to utter a few words, "I can understand that you mean that you want to adopt me?"
"Ruzi can be taught."
Li Xuan was dumbfounded.
The more the car drove, the scenery outside the window became more and more decadent. Li Xuan stared out of the window, only to realize that this was the place where his family lived.
Gu Zichen jumped out of the car and smiled towards the door, "Come here, baby."
"I'll come down by myself." Li Xuan held the car door.
Gu Zichen rushed forward and hugged the person directly, his tone was a little cold, "Be good, your injury is still not healed."
Li Xuan didn't dare to say anything, and let him hug him, wrapping his arms around Gu Zichen's neck, and buried his face in his chest, feeling that he couldn't see anyone like this.
Chen Chi followed Gu Zichen, and there were two bodyguards behind him.
In the eyes of people in this old neighborhood, their battle was really terrible. The adults and children who were idle all looked at them as if they were watching the excitement, and those who were frightened by the battle also hid in their houses and sneaked a look at them.
Walking to the innermost building and going up to the small attic above the sixth floor, Gu Zichen put Li Xuan on the ground, but still put his arms around his waist and stuck to himself.
When he went upstairs just now, he felt Li Xuan's fear. On the night he rescued Li Xuan, Chen Chi had already passed on the results of the investigation to him. He naturally knew what Li Xuan's so-called 'home' looked like. .
I also know what kind of virtue his so-called 'father' is.
The bodyguard kicked the door open, and a woman screamed inside the door, followed by panicked voices.
"It's none of my business! It's none of my business! I have no money! If you want money, go find Li! Don't come to me! I have no money!"
The woman's voice was sharp and piercing.
"Shut up!" Gu Zichen scolded.
The bodyguard kicked the woman, stepped forward and cut her arm backwards, and found a dirty one in the room that would not gag her mouth.
Gu Zichen felt the people around him tremble, he tightened his arms and brought them into his arms, and gently patted Li Xuan's back with his other hand, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here."
The woman had always thought that the person who broke into her house was here to ask for a debt, and she was busy begging for mercy before she could see the person clearly, but now she only looked up when she heard Gu Zichen's voice.
The woman didn't pay attention to Li Xuan just now, but now Li Xuan is completely surrounded by Gu Zichen's arms, and he is still wearing new clothes, so he can only see his back.
But when she looked up just now, she happened to see a side face, and Li Xuan's iconic light brown hair - it was a pure natural color, and it definitely couldn't be dyed.
"Woo, woo, woo." The woman struggled, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her.
This room is empty, just a living room, a bedroom, no kitchen, just set up a table in the living room to cook, and there is a small bed next to it, I think it is Li Xuan's bed.
A trace of hostility flashed in Gu Zichen's eyes—his Xuanxuan lived in such a place!
He retracted his arms again, hugging the person in his arms even tighter.
The air pressure in the room was extremely low, Gu Zichen glanced at Chen Chi, Chen Chi picked up the phone and said something, soon there was a sound on the corridor, and a man fell in from the door.
The man was still muttering: "Don't push, don't push! Give me two more months, no, no, one month, one month and I'll pay it back!"
Two tall men in black suits came in behind him, the man got up from the ground, threw himself in front of the man on the left and hugged the man's leg, "Brother, no, sir, please be more generous, really Just one month, one month! Didn't I put that kid Li Xuan in your place yesterday, didn't I agree to pay off half of my debt..."
Gu Zichen's eyes turned cold, he let go of Li Xuan, and walked over to kick the man in two or three steps.
"Ouch, ouch! Why are you doing this! Don't hit, don't hit!"
The two people who pushed him in behind were actually Gu Zichen's bodyguards. It was Li Xuan's adoptive father who thought they were here to collect debts, but they still haven't figured it out yet.
The bodyguard took the man into custody, and a document was placed in front of him.
"Sign this document." Chen Chi ordered, "Whether or not you will be let go depends on our young master's will."
"Okay, I'll sign, I'll sign!"
The man signed his name tremblingly. Now as long as he can survive, let alone one document, he will sign ten more.
Chen Chi put away the signed documents, and the man gave Gu Zichen a sneaky look, but didn't get up, just knelt and crawled towards Gu Zichen, but was kicked to the ground by the bodyguard.
Gu Zichen put his arms around Li Xuan, stroked his head, bent down and asked in his ear, "Honey, do you want one hand from him, or two hands from him?"
The words were not loud, but the room was too small for everyone to hear.
"No no! Young master, you have a lot of people, please don't cut off my hand!" The man on the ground burst into tears and snot, and then he saw Li Xuan, and hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve, his eyes revealed surprise, "Xuanxuan! Xuanxuan, save Dad!"
Li Xuan stared at him with brown eyes, silent.
During the years he was adopted by this man, he was often beaten.He had seen all kinds of vicious appearances of this person, but he had never seen such a wimpy appearance of this person.
It's not that he doesn't want to escape, even if he goes back to the orphanage, but his adoptive mother...he looked at the trembling woman beside him, and he knew that woman couldn't bear children, so he was adopted back.
His adoptive mother was very cowardly. When he was beaten into a coma by his adoptive father, she didn't think about sending herself back to the orphanage.
I want children, but I can't protect them.
With Li Xuan, the woman is not beaten alone, but they are beaten together.
It seems that one injury has become two people to bear.
I don't know if the person he called "Mom" had such thoughts, so even if Li Xuan was beaten to death by his adoptive father one day, that woman would probably not let him go.
"Baby?" Gu Zichen called out, sighing in his heart that this kid wouldn't be so soft-hearted, "Do you want to let him go..."
"No," Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Gu Zichen. It was the first time he took the initiative to pull Gu Zichen's hand, "I need two hands."
When he said this, he stared nervously at Gu Zichen—would he feel that he was too vicious?
"Okay," Gu Zichen smiled, and Li Xuan was stunned by that smile. Gu Zichen told Chen Chi, "Then he needs two hands."
Chen Chi bowed his head in agreement.
Gu Zichen hugged Li Xuan and went out, the door closed behind them, and then there was a scream.
He covered Li Xuan's ears, "Don't listen, let's go home."
He covered Li Xuan's ears all the way down the stairs, and when he got downstairs, he carried Li Xuan back to the car.
On the way back, Li Xuan fell asleep. He woke up on the bed. The doctor had come over here. Seeing that he woke up, Gu Zichen checked him and took medicine.
In the afternoon, Chen Chi came over and delivered a bunch of clothes, all of which were bought according to Li Xuan's height.
The room next door to Gu Zichen has been tidied up, and all the new clothes are hung up, so they can live in directly tonight.
☆, "Dad, you owe me."
In the middle of the night, Li Xuan woke up from a nightmare.
He was a little dazed in the room he was in now, and beside him was a warm body, with one arm of that person wrapping around his waist, he thought for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a feeling of peace of mind gradually surfaced in his heart.
Li Xuan's movements woke up Gu Zichen: "Why are you awake, are you hungry?"
Li Xuan turned sideways and gently grabbed Gu Zichen's pajamas: "Tell me, am I dreaming?"
"Huh?" Gu Zichen was puzzled, he turned on the bedside lamp, and saw the boy's eyes shining in the warm orange light, "What dream?"
"I really got out of that house, didn't I?"
"Of course." Gu Zichen kissed his forehead, "It's written in black and white on the document, your guardian will be me from now on."
"Hey, sleep, when you wake up tomorrow, let's forget all the unhappy things before, okay?"
Gu Zichen coaxed him to sleep very patiently.
Li Xuan's transfer procedures were completed early, but because of his injuries and his insecure heart, Gu Zichen insisted on taking a week off to stay with him at home.
……
"I heard you raised a child?"
On the weekend when Gu Zichen returned home from the villa, his father called him into the study.
"Yes." He didn't do this in secret, and he didn't intend to hide it from anyone, so there was nothing to deny.
Father Gu frowned: "Where did that child come from? Is his background innocent? You are only a little old, and you learned how to raise children. Now you don't hang out with your group of cronies. I think you have really changed your mind. I dare you to change your tricks." Let's play!"
"Why do you raise such a child? Don't tell me that you are doing charity! If you really want to do charity, you can just donate money directly, and you won't bring him back to raise him yourself. Don't make it for me when the time comes What a scandal! If something like that happens, I won't help you."
In the circle of high society, the surface is bright and beautiful, but the corruption inside is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Father Gu's worries may not be unreasonable, he himself is unwilling to think in that dirty direction, but this beating is necessary.
Gu Zichen sighed, as long as his father faced him, he would always think the worst about everything.
He lazily said: "I haven't done anything out of the ordinary this year. I study hard and make progress every day. I never skip class and I am the first in grade. Is it impossible to change your bad impression of me? I am your kind , if you can’t trust me, can you still not trust yourself?”
Gu's father just took a puff of his cigar, when he heard this, he immediately choked, and said angrily, "Gu Zichen! What are you talking about!"
Gu Zichen added fuel to the fire: "Could it be that my stepmother spoke ill of me in front of you again?"
boom--!
Father Gu patted the desk with one hand: "Do you really want to talk to me like this? Hasn't your mother been good enough since you were a child? You used to be very close to your mother, why have you become so close since you went to high school?" It's like an enemy! You can't be more obedient and let your mother stop worrying!"
"He's not my mother."
Gu Zichen stared at his father and said word by word.
"Father, you know best how Zhang Jiali raised me since she was a child. Outsiders can't see it, and I don't believe you, the head of the Gu family, can't see it either."
Gu Zichen spoke calmly, but what he said was too impulsive: "But you never care, I don't know if you don't have the energy to care, or you don't want to care. I was young and naive before, and I couldn't see that woman With all my heart, I still think of her as my own mother, now that I'm older, of course I won't be stupid anymore."
"Dad, you owe me."
"Get out of here!" Gu's father yelled loudly, almost overturning the table.
Gu Zichen got up and went out. The moment the door closed, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the study.
Leaning his back against the wall, Gu Zichen rubbed his face and smiled wryly, he was still too impulsive, he couldn't control himself well, why did he suddenly say that...
Now it's all right, the already precarious relationship with his father will never be pulled back.
"Xiaochen, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel with Dad?"
A woman's concerned voice sounded, Gu Zichen closed his eyes, raised his head and showed a sarcastic smile: "Don't call me so affectionate."
These words choked back all the worrying words Zhang Jiali wanted to say. For a moment, she didn't know whether to maintain her current expression or reprimand him angrily, which made her beautiful face distort immediately.
Gu Zichen passed Zhang Jiali and went downstairs, saw Gu Zilin playing in the yard, and greeted him kindly: "Xiao Lin, have you finished your homework?"
"Brother," Gu Zilin blushed, "Not yet..."
"It's okay," Gu Zichen patted his head, "Even if you don't become a teacher, I won't do anything to you. Dad will tell the teacher."
"Really, really?" Gu Zilin opened his eyes wide, looking at his brother blankly.
"Well, of course. My brother will take you to play, okay? There is a little brother there, you will definitely like him, do you want to know him?"
Gu Zilin's childhood life can be regarded as lifeless.
On the one hand, Zhang Jiali devoted herself to turning Gu Zichen into a waste, on the other hand, she was too strict with her own son.
He interfered in everything from basic necessities of life, never had snacks since he was a child, was not allowed to watch TV for more than half an hour a day, and was not allowed to make friends with children at school, saying that those people would not be able to help him in the future, even if he was a classmate, it would only last a few years, It is impossible to make friends for a lifetime.
Overly strong mothers always raise weak children.
Gu Zilin was only eight years old, and already a little withdrawn, rarely laughed or talked.
From outsiders' perspective, he is young and mature, and every time guests come to the house, they praise Gu Zilin for being sensible and make Zhang Jiali very happy.
In fact, if it were a child from a normal family, this age would be the time when cats dislike dogs and make trouble all day long.
Moreover, Zhang Jiali has been indulgent to Gu Zichen all the time, which has left a serious shadow in Gu Zilin's heart, thinking that he does not please his mother, and his personality becomes more and more dull.
In the past year, Gu Zichen has been honest with Zhang Jiali, but he has been able to chat with Gu Zilin very well. Gu Zilin's impression of his brother has also changed. Besides, Gu Zichen is now the first grade in their school's high school, even if he is only in elementary school, I have also heard a lot about my brother.
At this moment, my brother said to take him out to play, his little heart was so excited that he forgot to tell his mother and agreed quickly.
"Let's go." Gu Zichen took his little hand and walked towards the gate.
"Xiaochen! Where are you taking Xiaolin?!" Zhang Jiali ran out of the house in a hurry, contrary to her usual calmness.
"Xiao Lin, come back and do your homework, be obedient!"
Hearing his mother's voice, Gu Zilin grasped Gu Zichen's hand reflexively. In fact, he really wanted to say that he had finished all the homework assigned by the teacher, and that his mother had assigned other assignments. He didn't understand that he had already mastered it. Why do so much more.
"Auntie, I'm taking Xiaolin out to play, what are you worried about?" Gu Zichen looked at the woman in front of him with a half-smile, "Afraid I'll do something to Xiaolin? I haven't
