Arriving at the study, Gu Nanxi glanced out the window and sent a message to Bao Yu:

"Look out the window!"

Just then, Bao Yu, who had finished washing up, heard her phone ring and saw the message from Gu Nanxi. She subconsciously looked out the window.

"Um, okay, the curtains are drawn." Bao Yu walked over, pulled back the curtains, and saw Gu Nanxi standing on the opposite balcony.

What are you doing here?

I know Bao Yu means, how did you know I was staying in this room?

Gu Nanxi smiled and said, "Ren Chenyang's room is decorated the same as mine, so I guessed your room might be here. Sure enough, I saw that there was light in this room."

Bao Yu smiled at him and said, "Ren Chenyang is four years older than you, right? How come you two are so close?"

Gu Nanxi was at a loss for words when it came to this matter: "I... I used to have a falling out with my family and ran away from home."

Bao Yu thought she had misheard: "What? Running away from home?"

Gu Nanxi didn't want Bao Yu to think she was immature, so she hurriedly explained, "My parents are divorced, and I live with my dad. That summer, I went to my mom's house for the first time and found out that I had a half-brother who was 5 years younger than me. At that time, my mom and dad hadn't divorced yet."

My dad is a soldier and has always been very serious. I thought my mom was afraid of him, which is why she didn't want to be with him. But the truth is, not every woman is brave enough to be a military wife and endure her husband's absence year after year. My mom is definitely not one of them.

My dad found out about this at some point, which is why he divorced my mom.

That day, I couldn't accept this fact, so I ran away from my mother's house.

It just so happened that it was raining that day, and I took shelter under someone's eaves. Just then, your brother came home and saw me.

Good heavens, at this moment, Bao Yu's mind was filled with a smaller version of Gu Nanxi's downcast yet stubborn expression as she encountered the young master Ren Chenyang in the rain and was taken home by him. He then wiped away the wet tears from the corners of Gu Nanxi's eyes.

Bao Yu instantly felt guilty. She had actually fantasized about her boyfriend being with Ren Chenyang?! And while her boyfriend was speaking so seriously.

"Cough cough, Ren Chenyang wiped your tears, ah, no, cough cough cough!"

Gu Nanxi watched as Bao Yu choked on her own saliva, and her melancholy vanished instantly.

It was the same before, Gu Nanxi remembered. About 5 years ago, he left his mother's house. In order not to let his father find out, he did not go back immediately and did not know where to go for a while.

Stranded by the rain at the front door of Ren Chenyang's house, I happened to run into Ren Chenyang, who was returning from work.

At this moment, Ren Chenyang's mother, who is also Bao Yu's mother, opened the door from the inside and was led inside, thinking that she was Ren Chenyang's friend.

At that time, Ren Chenyang's younger brother was only 1 year old and was very clingy. Ren Chenyang had gone to take a bath after getting caught in the rain, leaving him alone in the living room. He was a little reserved in a stranger's house, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the photo wall in Ren Chenyang's home.

This was also the first time Gu Nanxi saw Bao Yu. It was a passport photo. In the photo, Bao Yu's eyes were smiling sweetly, which was very attractive.

"This is my daughter, isn't she adorable?" Gu Nanxi quickly looked away when she heard someone speak. Unexpectedly, Bao Yu's mother seemed to have started a long-winded conversation, beginning to ramble on about her.
