When his hand was withdrawn, his fingertips accidentally brushed across Gu Bai’s cheek, causing a twitch in the corner of his eye. The smooth and slippery touch of the skin was very pleasant, leaving a lingering feeling.
Gu Bai was unaware of his feelings, but seeing his dark expression, he had no intention of continuing to pretend to be friendly. He would slowly change his impression in the future. Right now, he was very weak and exhausted.
He gave Nie Qingcang an admiring smile and said, ‘Goodnight, Brother.’ Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind, planning to consider the task again after getting a good rest.
After he fell asleep, Nie Qingcang left the room, unconsciously moving silently so as not to wake the person on the bed.
As he reached the doorway, he saw the gradually calming breath of the teenager and his peaceful and beautiful sleeping face. The corner of his mouth subtly curled up.
If only Lu Rongqing could always be this obedient, just like when he first came to the Nie family…
One night passed, the next morning.
Gu Bai had a good night’s sleep and felt more peaceful than ever before.
The Nie family was a wealthy and influential household, and their quality of life was not something ordinary people could enjoy. The comfortable bed he slept in was nothing compared to the hard bed in the small rented house he lived in before his mission. He slept very comfortably.
After getting up from the bed and finishing his grooming, Gu Bai stood in front of the wardrobe, staring at the colorful and strange clothes. After hesitating for a long time, he finally found a relatively normal T-shirt and jeans to wear before going downstairs for breakfast.
He ran into Nie Qingcang, who was eating, and noticed a momentary change in his expression. According to Lu Rongqing’s daily routine, it was impossible for him to wake up this early.
‘Brother, good morning!’ Gu Bai ignored the surprise on Nie Qingcang’s face and politely greeted him before sitting opposite to him and starting to eat, with slow and elegant movements.
Having grown up in an orphanage, he naturally couldn’t perform the proper etiquette of an aristocratic family. But after receiving the memories of the original host, it was no longer a problem. The Nie family had strict rules, and as the young master of the Nie family, even though Lu Rongqing had a strange and willful personality, he had learned all the necessary etiquette.
Nie Qingcang nodded faintly, seeming to eat seriously, but in reality, he kept an eye on Gu Bai from the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the young man, who usually didn’t like to eat breakfast, had a good appetite and a happy expression on his face, Nie Qingcang couldn’t help but feel a twinge of happiness.
What’s so happy about eating a meal? Nie Qingcang thought to himself, but suddenly felt that today’s breakfast was indeed delicious.
When they had finished eating, Gu Bai stood up to say goodbye and prepare to go to school. Nie Qingcang also put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, ‘Wait, today I’m not busy, I’ll take you to the school…’
After last night’s experience and seeing a different side of the usually unlikeable teenager, Nie Qingcang had a change of heart. He was also slightly worried. As the saying goes, old habits die hard, and the credibility of Lu Rongqing’s promise wasn’t very high.
‘Really? Thank you, Brother!’ Gu Bai immediately agreed without hesitation. To have a golden thigh voluntarily take him to school, Gu Bai readily accepted, blinked his eyes, and showed a surprised expression on his face.
Nie Qingcang was amused by his expression, as his mother had died early and his father was usually too busy. Apart from Lu Gu Gu, he had hardly ever experienced the joy of family since he was a child.
This feeling of being respected and cherished by his younger brother was quite pleasant. Although he and Lu Rongqing didn’t have any blood relationship, taking care of Lu Rongqing was only because of Lu Gu Gu.
Both of them left together and got into the car. On the way, Gu Bai kept thinking about how to handle the upcoming plan by Wu Zhenzhen, the female lead who turned black.
He didn’t plan to find another way to trap her. After all, with Wu Zhenzhen’s advantage of being reborn, she had already dealt with the illegitimate daughter. The illegitimate daughter, whose reputation was in ruins, would soon be removed from the family’s door.
Therefore, Wu Zhenzhen’s main target was now focused on the original host. According to the development of the plot, the man who Wu Zhenzhen had brought to get close to the original host would appear soon. What should he do in response?
Avoiding it directly was not allowed. Wu Zhenzhen hated the original host to the bone, and even without Nan Lichen, she still had other people. When the time comes, it will be even more dangerous. It’s better to make a plan of his own…
After thinking it through, Gu Bai’s innocent smile became even more apparent, and the slightly crafty gaze made Nie Qingcang’s heart skip a beat.
Chapter 5: Rebirth as Cannon Fodder (5)
Gu Bai had figured out a plan to deal with Wu Zhenzhen’s scheming. He didn’t plan to change his character suddenly, as Wu Zhenzhen, after turning black, was no longer the innocent girl she used to be in her previous life. She was even more ruthless and merciless!
With the memories of his previous life, if he suddenly changed his personality, the other party would definitely find it strange and then come up with a new plan to deal with him. By that time, he wouldn’t be able to guard against it…
Thinking this, Gu Bai decided to maintain the status quo, subtly improving his relationship with Nie Qingcang while secretly guarding against Wu Zhenzhen’s ploy.
Time flew by, and two weeks later, Gu Bai went to school as usual. As soon as he entered the school gate, he learned that a handsome new art teacher had arrived.
‘Rongqing, let me tell you, our school has a new art teacher, teaching our grade. I saw him in the principal’s office yesterday afternoon, and he’s super handsome!’
The speaker was one of the original host’s friends, a good-looking guy named An Hao, who was also gay. He liked to dig for handsome guys in school whenever he had the chance.
Gu Bai wasn’t interested in these things. Although he also liked men, he seemed to be missing that emotional connection. Since he started his mission until his death, he had never been attracted to or even had good feelings towards anyone.
