In his previous life, Lin Qingyan never told others about his family affairs. When he was young, it was because of his low self-esteem and he was worried that others would look down on him and treat him differently if they knew.

Later, it was out of habit—he had grown used to silently enduring everything on his own. What was the use of telling others? Besides, it would only burden them with his troubles.1Dear reader please talk if you are facing any difficulties

But in front of Gu Fei, he didn’t think so much. He didn’t want to gain sympathy or ask for help, he just simply wanted to find someone to share with.

“My dad was a gambler, and our family was heavily in debt. So, my family wouldn’t let me go to school, and I had to earn money to support them.”

There was no regret or resentment, and his tone was as calm as if he was telling someone else’s story. In just one sentence, he didn’t say how miserable he was, and all the sad and painful memories were brushed aside.

Lin Qingyan still remembered that when his father Lin Jianxiang asked him to drop out of school, he refused to accept it.

Lin Qingyan had worked hard for so many years just to participate in the college entrance exam a few months later, aiming for good scores to get into a good university. With only a few months left, there was no way he could give up.

He knew his family couldn’t afford to send him to college. While other classmates were playing carefree, he had been working part-time during winter, summer, and weekends since his first year of high school. Finally, he secretly paid the tuition for his first year of college with the savings he had saved.

However, Lin Jianxiang, his father, was not a reasonable man. He had personally gone to the school and, in front of the entire class, slapped Lin Qingyan’s face hard.

As he cursed with vulgar language, he dragged his son to the door. Lin Qingyan’s classmates watched in shock, sympathy, and even amusement as they witnessed the scene.

Lin Qingyan will never forget that moment in his life.

Later, he compromised. Even the money he had secretly saved for his tuition was found by

Lin Jianxiang, who then went out to drink and gamble happily.

Of course, he didn’t tell Gu Fei about this.

After a moment of thought, he repeated the sentence he had said earlier, “Mr. Gu, you are truly a good person.”

His tone was sincere, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. His slender shoulders seemed to bear a heavy burden, and as Gu Fei watched him, he suddenly wanted to pat his head or give him a hug.

But he was still holding the ice pack, and his hands were cold.

Gu Fei didn’t continue the previous topic. He continued to apply the ice pack to the young man’s arm, his eyes focused and his voice calm as he said, “Did you forget what I told you?”

There was no beginning or end of the sentence, but Lin Qingyan understood it immediately. He pursed his lips hesitantly, and after a while, he called out: “Brother Fei”

The young man’s tone was clear and pleasant, but also cute.2of course our YanYan is cute

“hmmm” Gu Fei hummed indifferently, but there was a hint of warmth in his indifferent eyes.

A few minutes later, the ice pack treatment was over.

“Thank you, Gu…” Lin Qingyan paused before correcting himself, “Thank you Brother Fei.”

“You’ve said ‘thank you’ to me many times today,” Gu Fei remarked.

Lin Qingyan smiled, “I should.”

“Lin Qingyan,” Gu Fei suddenly gazed into the young man’s eyes. His eyes were as profound as a thousand-year-old well, tranquil yet earnest as he said, “If someone bullies you, you can tell me.”

Lin Qingyan was stunned for several seconds, and then nodded.

This time he didn’t say thank you.

Gu Fei seemed very satisfied with his reaction, the corners of his tensed lips loosened a bit, he stood up, “It’s getting late. Get some rest.”

“Okay” The young man nodded and looked up at the tall and straight man in front of him. His clear and watery eyes reflected the man’s image, and he added, “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

After the man had left, Lin Qingyan finally shifted his gaze away. The glass of milk on the table had already cooled, but he didn’t mind. He picked it up and drank it all.

After drinking the milk, he went into the bathroom to wash up briefly, then got into bed and laid down. The bed was large, the mattress soft, and it was very comfortable to sleep on.

With his head resting on his arm, Lin Qingyan gazed at the ceiling, lost in thought. The words the man had just spoken echoed in his mind, and the deep, magnetic voice seemed to carry a certain charm.

If someone bullies you, you can tell me…

No one had ever said anything like that to him before.

No, Wen Yan in his previous life also told him something similar, and he believed it. But every time he was framed by An Nanyi, Wen Yan never believed him.

He didn’t know what kind of spell An Nanyi had cast on Wen Yan, but the man had been completely taken in by him.

Forget it, Well, he shouldn’t think about them anymore. He shouldn’t let unnecessary people occupy his mind. It wasn’t worth it. In this lifetime, he would never make the same mistakes again, and he will never live as useless as he did in his previous life.

“Are you sure our parents and eldest brother are not at home?”

An Yu tiptoed and cautiously stood at doorstep, cautiously looking into the house.

There was a handsome young man standing inside the house. Compared to his tall and imposing figure, the young man appeared somewhat delicate. He was wearing pajamas, and his hair was disheveled.

“Don’t worry, dad will come back tomorrow from a business trip. Mom went to visit Grandpa and Grandma, and my older brother is out working on a play. Second Brother, don’t just stand outside. Come in.” An Nanyi covered his mouth and yawned, feeling impatient.

He never really liked his second brother, who was lazy and lacked ambition, always idling around. An Nanyi yawned again and added, “I’m so sleepy. I’m going to bed first.”

An Yu breathed a sigh of relief before he dared to step into the house. He originally planned to stay with Gu Fei.

But unfortunately, Mr. Gu had found a little white rabbit by the roadside, showing signs of budding affection for the first time in his life, so he abandoned him without conscience, and was so stingy that he sent him away with a red envelope of 200 yuan.

He suspected that Gu Fei had taken the little white rabbit home.

“Hey, Nannan, don’t walk so fast.”

An Yu hurriedly followed in An Nanyi’s direction, unable to keep the excitement bottled up inside him. He needed to share what had just happened with someone. “Do you know what Second Brother experienced just now? I promise you’ll be absolutely amazed when you hear it!”

An Nanyi wasn’t interested, convinced it was just another one of An Yu’s boring stories. He was quite the chatterbox, capable of turning even a minor incident into a half-hour conversation.

“Second brother, if you have anything to do, let’s talk about it tomorrow. It’s so late and go to bed quickly.” He said casually.

An Yu couldn’t wait until tomorrow. “I just came back from the airport in Gu Fei’s car, and guess what happened on the way? Gu Fei actually found a homeless little white rabbit!””

As soon as he finished speaking, An Nanyi’s footsteps stopped.

The name Gu Fei always attracted his attention.

“I told you, it’s going to shock you!” Seeing An Nanyi’s reaction, An Yu smiled triumphantly and teased, “The even more astonishing part is yet to come. Do you want to hear it?”

T/N – Sounds fishy here hmmmm An Nanyi
