He stayed like that against the corner wall for a while, the pained expression showing his struggle and hesitation.
From beginning to end, Gu Bai quietly watched him from the corner.
Finally, Nan Lichen moved. He stood up slowly, trembling as he put the medicine bottle into his pocket. Then he went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out a bottle of milk.
With a pained expression on his face, he opened the milk bottle, poured it into a cup, and poured some of the liquid from the medicine bottle into it.
After doing all this, he stared at the medicine bottle for a long time before forcing himself to calm down and returned to the studio, holding the milk.
Gu Bai had already returned to the studio when he poured the milk.
When Nan Lichen came back and saw the quiet figure of the young man sitting there, seemingly thinking of something, with a shy smile on his face, his shyness deepened when he noticed that Nan Lichen had entered.
Nan Lichen looked at the smile on Gu Bai’s face and felt his hands trembling even more.
But after closing his eyes momentarily and taking a deep breath, he still walked up to Gu Bai and handed him the milk.
“Have some milk…”
He couldn’t turn back, he couldn’t hesitate anymore.
Lu Rongqing can have a chance to start over, but he and his father don’t, his father can’t wait.
It’s alright, it’s alright, Rongqing can have a chance to start over, even if he’s no longer pure, even if he’s been touched by someone else, he won’t abandon him, he’ll want him, he’ll love him well, it’s alright, it’s alright…
Nan Lichen kept comforting himself in his mind, and Gu Bai stared at his expression that was hard to hide, took the milk, and the shy expression disappeared, replaced with a faint smile.
“Chen, do you really like Rongqing?”
Gu Bai’s eyes were clear and serious, and Nan Lichen felt as if a needle had pierced his heart, making him unable to look into the young man’s eyes.
He slightly shifted his gaze, as if looking at Gu Bai, but in reality, he was staring at the wall behind Gu Bai, with a forced smile.
“Why do you keep asking such silly questions…”
Gu Bai continued to look at him seriously, making Nan Lichen feel guilty, as if it had been a long time, but in reality it was only a few seconds.
Suddenly, the young man smiled, then reached out and hugged him, resting his head against his chest, and whispered softly.
“Chen, Rongqing really really likes you. Rongqing can do anything for you, even give up his life and soul. Will you like Rongqing like this?…”
Do anything, even give up his life and soul…
Nan Lichen’s body stiffened, did he have such a position in the young man’s heart? Can he love him enough to do anything? Does the young man really consider him in his heart?
A scalding, heart-wrenching surge of heat rushed out.
He couldn’t speak, and held the soft and warm body of the young man in his arms.
In his state of shock, Gu Bai put the milk on the table, then raised his head and looked at him with a focused gaze, his eyes smiling.
“I know Chen must like Rongqing just like that, right?”
But unfortunately…
“I… um, let’s drink the milk first…”
Nan Lichen dared not answer, he nodded ambiguously, then turned away, and saw the milk that Gu Bai had put down. He struggled with his expression and choked on his throat for a moment, before picking up the milk again and handing it to Gu Bai, his palms sweating.
Seeing the milk being offered again, Gu Bai squinted his eyes, took it, looked at Nan Lichen, and the clear gaze disappeared, replaced by a ‘pure’ gaze that belonged to Gu Bai.
So pure, so focused, staring at Nan Lichen.
“Chen, Rongqing likes you, Rongqing can do anything for you. If there’s anything you need, don’t hide it from Rongqing, Rongqing will help you no matter what…”
As he spoke, Gu Bai slowly brought the milk close to his mouth, his movements slow as if he was waiting for something.
And Nan Lichen, as he watched the cup getting closer and closer to the young man’s lips, as if in slow motion, his mind went blank.
His trembling hand that was by his side, trembled more.
He wanted to grab the young man’s hand and stop him, his body was so stiff, so struggling and hesitant, but in the end, he couldn’t make the action he had imagined to prevent the young man from falling into the abyss.
No, he couldn’t gamble, how could there be such a love in this world that is willing to give up everything for each other? He couldn’t gamble, couldn’t gamble. Rongqing can start over, yes, he can start over…
“Drink it, the milk is sweet with added sugar…”
Nan Lichen opened his eyes, his voice dry.
Gu Bai looked at his expression, felt the struggle in his chest disappear completely, and the shy expression faded away, replaced by a blank expression.
Nan Lichen, Lu Rongqing gave you a chance, multiple chances…
Without swallowing the milk he had poured into his mouth, Gu Bai suddenly showed a hint of innocence on his face and waited for something.
And Nan Lichen, looking at the approaching young man, also slowly closed his eyes, he had been looking forward to the young man’s kiss for a long time, no matter what the young man goes through in the future, the first person to have the young man would be him.
He couldn’t help but feel excited, and his hands that held Gu Bai began to misbehave…
“Ah, Chen, help…”
Suddenly, accompanied by a terrified cry for help, Nan Lichen hadn’t even opened his eyes to see what had happened, he felt a pain in his neck, and with a muffled groan, he fainted.
And Gu Bai patted his hands and climbed off him, staring at him for a while before starting to search him. Finally, he found a bottle of pills from his pocket.
Looking at the item in his hand, Gu Bai fell silent for a while before he let out a long sigh.
“I didn’t want to do this, but you chose this path yourself…”
Chapter 12 Rebirth Cannon Fodder (12)
Gu Bai never considered himself a good person because good people don’t live long.
But at least, he believed that he had some principles.
He didn’t give Nan Lichen a chance, and Lu Rongqing did. He tried many times to take action just now, but he was influenced by the emotions left behind by the original host in his chest.
Lu Rongqing resented Nan Lichen for hurting him, but he still loved Nan Lichen.
If Nan Lichen chose to give up, Lu Rongqing would probably cancel his revenge on Nan Lichen himself.
But Nan Lichen didn’t, when he said that he was willing to do anything for him, Nan Lichen didn’t choose to spare Lu Rongqing.
He didn’t understand, how could Lu Rongqing really do so much for him? Wu Zhenzhen can help his father find a kidney source, and Lu Rongqing can too, but he couldn’t understand.
In other words, he didn’t believe Lu Rongqing, he didn’t want to gamble, he would rather choose to destroy Lu Rongqing, which was a more reliable method…
Picking up the backpack from the ground, he unzipped it and put on the gloves and shoe covers that had been prepared in advance. He cleaned up the traces left behind in the studio and then dragged Nan Lichen to the bedroom.
After double-checking downstairs and making sure there were no other people’s traces besides Nan Lichen, Gu Bai took out a package from the backpack, enough to send Nan Lichen to prison, and hid it in the villa, preparing to leave.
