Gu Nanxi wasn't in a hurry. He followed Lin Xiao at a leisurely pace, the doting look in his eyes probably unknown even to himself.

"Teacher Lin, are you shy? Why are you avoiding my questions? Shouldn't you answer?"

Lin Xiao stammered and made up a random excuse, trying to fool Gu Nanxi, but the other party didn't seem to have any intention of letting him off the hook.

"Sweetie, Teacher Lin, don't be stubborn, even though it's cute when you're being stubborn."

Gu Nanxi found a chair from somewhere and sat down next to Lin Xiao.

He waited for him to speak; this wasn't the first time he'd wanted to know his answer.

He had actually wanted to ask this before…

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried his best to adjust his attitude. He felt that this problem should not be too difficult for Gu Nanxi. He just wanted Gu Nanxi to be the way he was when he first met him.

That's fine, he's not greedy, is that not allowed?

"Can I ask you a question? It's not that I can't marry you, but there's one choice you have to make, otherwise I can't be with you."

"What choice?"

The once innocent boy inexplicably turned into a sinister figure after falling ill; yes, this is what Gu Nanxi looks like now.

No one knew how Gu Nanxi got the position of president of the Gu family; only Gu Nanxi herself knew.

So Gu Nanxi could roughly guess what his dear teacher was going to say.

I need to be strong for myself, and strong for him, because if I'm not strong, I won't be able to protect the person I love.

"Lin Xiao, why did you stop talking? I'm listening."

It doesn't matter who fires the shot anymore. What matters is that the person who fires the shot isn't someone he hates. If it is someone he hates, he will tear that person to pieces!

"If I asked you to give up everything you've done before, would you be willing? Don't think I don't know how you got to the position of President Gu."

"No matter what you were like before, I'm begging you now not to go down that path, okay? I'd be willing to do it even if it costs less money."

Lin Xiao was heartbroken because he knew that someone as pure as Gu Nanxi would not have blood on their hands, but it was really not worth it to do this for him.

"Now that you know, why don't you leave me? Wouldn't it be better for you to leave me?"

Gu Nanxi crossed his legs and casually stroked the book he had used for Lin Xiao's first lesson, touching it as if it were a treasure.

That look in his eyes was something even Lin Xiao's biological parents couldn't match.

“I can’t leave. This whole thing started because of me. How could I possibly leave? If I left, I wouldn’t be human.”

Lin Xiao slowly took off his coat, then produced two glasses of wine from somewhere and slowly walked towards Gu Nanxi.

Suicide methods are too bloody and will frighten people. Only in this way can things be a little cleaner, right? That's the best choice.

"What is this, baby? Are you trying to seduce me?"

Gu Nanxi knew what he wanted to do, but he didn't say a word, attributing it all to temptation, and looked at the young man with deep affection.

"If you say so, then Xi, are you willing to drink with me? I'll drink first."

"How could I let you do this first? Of course I'll do it first, because this is my exclusive task."

Lin Xiao looked up at the smiling young man. Although he couldn't understand what the young man was saying, he understood his actions.

"Honestly, you're such a grown-up, yet you still like to take things from me. Give me a chance to prove myself, Gu Nanxi, don't be so selfish."

Lin Xiao stared at Gu Nanxi's face for a long time without stopping, as if he wanted her to wake up, but in the end he didn't.

[Host, do you need the male lead to wake up? Do you need my help?]

Lin Xiao shook his head and declined 009's offer. He felt that this love did not need a third person to interfere; as long as they understood each other, that was enough.

Yes, Lin Xiao didn't drink the wine. He broke the rules. He gave Gu Nanxi not a good wine, but a poisoned one that would make someone pass out without pain.

Lin Xiao didn't mean he wouldn't accompany Gu Nanxi; he just had things to do and things to explain. As a transmigrator, he should take responsibility for everything the original owner had to do.

Therefore, Lin Xiao also bears some responsibility for his parents' situation. In addition, since his parents have treated him well, he naturally cannot mistreat them.

"Honey, check your pay slip. I feel like my salary has increased a lot. Did the finance department make a mistake?"

When Lin's mother and father went to the bank to withdraw money, they found that their cards seemed to have twice as much money as usual, which made them very upset.

Although they are retired university professors, their salaries may be higher than those of ordinary people, but it's impossible for them to have this much more. If they have 100,000 in one card, they would have 200,000 in two cards!

They weren't sure who was being so generous, so just to be on the safe side, they figured it would be better to make a call and confirm!

"Okay, I'll make a call and ask."

"Hey Lao Cheng, did Xiao Zhang miscalculate our money? There's a strange extra 100,000 yuan in our salary card. How did this happen? Xiao Zhang shouldn't have made a mistake, right?"

"Okay, Lao Lin, don't worry, we'll take a look at it for you."

"I just asked for you, and it's definitely true that your son wired the money. He's been doing quite well lately, so maybe it was him?"

They knew more or less about Lin Xiao and Gu Nanxi's relationship, so they knew the answer when Old Lin asked.

"My son? Maybe. Thank you so much. I'll treat you to tea sometime."

Lin Xiao has been hiding for some time now. They know this, but they don't dare to look for him because they can't find him at all. This isn't the first time they've suspected that it might be related to Gu Nanxi.

Because her son has been spending the most time with Gu Nanxi lately, there's no reason not to suspect it's him.

"Honey, could something have happened to our son? Let's go back and check on him."

The two men made up their minds and returned home, only to find two corpses lying in front of them.

They were startled and covered their mouths in panic.

"Honey, isn't this our son? What's going on? Son, son, can Lin Xiao hear his mother?"

With a gloomy face, Lin's father pulled his screaming wife down. He knew his son's decision; he understood when he saw the suicide note on the table.

"Stop shouting. This is what our son wants. Just go along with him."
