"Back then, my big brother was attending university classes while working as an intern CEO at the company. He was incredibly busy, yet the principal would often call him to school to clean up my messes."
Gu Sheng remembered those days, his face full of smiles, with dimples on both cheeks that made him look somewhat cute. This innocent appearance was completely different from the person who, in the KTV earlier, seemed ready to beat someone to death.
You would never expect a big boy, who appeared so warm, could in the next moment leave you crippled, and even more unexpected was that when he was ruthless, he wouldn’t even spare himself.
Listening to Gu Sheng talk and laugh about the past, Gu Yao didn’t see him as a troublemaker. Instead, she found him adorable.
"So what was I doing at that time?" she asked.
"You were crying your eyes out."
"Of course, it’s true. How could you help?"
"Were you that naughty when you were a kid? Why was big brother so gentle and you liked to fight so much?"
"It’s because of you."
"Yeah, I could tolerate female classmates holding your hand, but when the boys did it too, pulling your pigtails, buying you snacks, and imitating others to give you love letters instead of studying properly, they should be beaten," Gu Sheng said angrily.
"Pfft..." Gu Yao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, finding her second brother increasingly adorable.
It turned out her second brother didn’t have psychological issues but had been protecting her since childhood, forming an obsession.
She figured that she, being sick, had only forgotten him, which he might not have been able to accept, dealing him a huge blow, along with his temperament.
Otherwise, why would he, who cared so much for her back then, bear to hurt her personally these past two years?
"Those were things not even the teachers could handle, and I took charge for them."
"And you’ve gotten scolded by grandpa and big brother countless times because of me, haven’t you?"
"Actually not, because every time they wanted to lecture me, you would come out to defend me, and then they couldn’t bear to scold me."
In Gu Yao’s mind appeared an image of her defiant second brother facing the impending wrath of grandpa and big brother without care, because with her protection, he wasn’t afraid. Thıs text ıs hosted at ⓝovelFire.net
And all grandpa and big brother could do under her defense was helplessly relent.
"Second brother, what illness did I have back then? How did I get sick? Why did I forget the past? Will I be able to remember it in the future?"
Gu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and they turned dim, his gaze becoming complicated, and the smile on his face slowly faded away.
"It’s nothing. You were just mischievous and hit your head, fell into a coma for a while, you weren’t sick, Yaoyao is very healthy. If you can’t remember the past, that’s it. If you want to know about our past, I can tell you slowly in the future."
The reason why he dared to tell Gu Yao about the past was that he was certain she wouldn’t remember it no matter what.
Gu Sheng carried Gu Yao on his back, walking all the way to their place, when he saw a milk tea shop open on the street.
He stopped and asked her, "Do you want some?"
"Kind of do," Gu Yao followed Gu Sheng’s gaze.
She was painting at noon and forgot the time, so she hadn’t eaten lunch and also skipped dinner, having only had two beers, leaving her stomach empty, yet she didn’t want to drink those, she just wanted something to fill her stomach.
But since Gu Sheng asked, she didn’t want to outright say no.
Gu Sheng chuckled and carried Gu Yao directly into the small shop.
