Lin Qingyan found the remote control and pressed a button. The curtains of the French windows opened automatically, and warm sunlight poured in, instantly filling every corner of the room.
Standing in front of the tall French windows, you can see a spacious and beautiful backyard with lots of greenery and a rather large small garden. It's summer now, and the flowers inside are blooming beautifully, though I don't know what kind they are.
There is also a large swimming pool not far from the garden.
Waking up to this scene made Lin Qingyan feel better involuntarily, but he was still very sleepy. He yawned and turned to go into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, after washing up and changing his clothes, he opened the door and went out. He glanced at the master bedroom next door; the door was closed, and he didn't know if the man had gotten up yet.
Lin Qingyan walked downstairs. When he arrived here last night, it was already late at night. Apart from the butler, Uncle Shen, he didn't see anyone else in the villa. Now he noticed that there were two maids in work clothes cleaning downstairs.
One was a middle-aged woman in her forties, and the other was much younger, a young woman in her twenties.
They chatted as they worked, not noticing the people upstairs. The young girl spoke first, "Butler Shen said that Master Gu brought a guest surnamed Lin back last night, and he's going to stay here for a while. How strange."
"That's right. I wonder who that person is. Master Gu has never brought anyone back to stay for an extended period before. Could it be our future wife?" the middle-aged woman chimed in.
"Hmm...maybe. I wonder who's so lucky. I'm so envious."
Lin Qingyan: "..."
Just then, the butler, Shen Yuting, came over with a vase of flowers. When he saw the young man standing upstairs, he stopped and nodded slightly, his posture as respectful as the night before. "Good morning, Young Master Lin."
"Uncle Shen, good morning." Lin Qingyan gave up on correcting the way he addressed him as "Young Master Lin".
He felt that Butler Shen was just like the aristocratic butlers he had seen in Western movies, dressed in a neat suit and leather shoes, with a tie, and a gentlemanly and respectful demeanor, looking exceptionally knowledgeable and cultured.
The two maids who were just talking were stunned, staring blankly as the fair-skinned and handsome stranger came down from upstairs and even smiled politely at them.
The two immediately greeted each other in unison, "Hello, Young Master Lin."
Butler Shen didn't say that the guest was a man, let alone a particularly handsome young man. Could they have overheard what they were saying?
Lin Qingyan pretended not to have heard the conversation and said with a forced smile, "You guys continue with your work, don't worry about me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw someone come in from outside the gate. The man was wearing a loose white tracksuit and sneakers. His handsome face was covered with a fine layer of sweat, which he wiped with a towel. He must have just come back from a morning run.
Compared to his serious appearance in a suit and tie, Gu Fei looked younger and more energetic in sportswear, possessing a different kind of charm that equally attracted attention.
Including Lin Qingyan.
"Uncle Chen, go prepare breakfast."
"good."
Gu Fei waved to the boy standing at the top of the stairs, "Come on, breakfast is ready."
Lin Qingyan reacted a beat late and grunted in response. Under the incredulous gazes of the two servants, he obediently walked to the man's side. The man stared at his face for a few seconds and suddenly said, "Didn't you sleep well?"
The boy's skin was fair and delicate, and even his faint dark circles were somewhat noticeable.
Lin Qingyan nodded, slightly shifting her gaze away from the man's face, which was rather close to hers. "I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, so I didn't sleep much."
He wasn't telling the whole truth. The factor of not being able to adapt to the environment only accounted for a small part; the majority of the problem stemmed from his previous life, and he needed time to overcome it.
Gu Fei did not doubt what he said.
Butler Shen quickly brought out breakfast. The two sat facing each other at the table. The breakfast was nutritionally balanced, with fried eggs, hot dogs, toast, green vegetables, and a glass of milk.
Gu Fei said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so just like me, you can tell Uncle Chen what you want to eat in the future."
He saw the boy across from him smile and say, "It's already very good. I'm not picky about food. I'll eat the same as you." After saying that, the boy lowered his head and ate his breakfast.
Gu Fei liked watching Lin Qingyan eat. The boy had a small face, and his cheeks would puff out slightly when he ate. His lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked serious and well-behaved.
Gu Fei recalled meeting Lin Qingyan by the roadside last night. He was sitting on a bench, eating a tasteless steamed bun. At that moment, Gu Fei wanted to give him all the delicious food.
Looking at the boy across from him eating a fried egg, Gu Fei wanted to give him the fried egg from his plate as well. He pursed his lips seriously and ultimately stopped himself from doing so.
"Mr. Gu, is breakfast not to your liking?"
Seeing that his master Gu was looking serious and hadn't eaten for a long time, Butler Shen finally couldn't help but ask, only to be met with a cold look from Master Gu.
"Very well, you can go ahead and get back to work."
"good."
Butler Shen left faster than usual. Master Gu had been acting strangely since last night, because of that young man named Lin Qingyan. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Lin Qingyan didn't think anything was wrong. When he looked up at the man opposite him, he saw him eating breakfast quietly, his movements slow, deliberate, and elegant.
He felt he was acting strangely again. No matter what Gu Fei was doing, he wanted to stare at him. He absolutely had no ulterior motives; he just found it very pleasing to the eye, just like appreciating a work of art.
So they continued.
"Kid, it's against the rules for you to stare at me like that."
A slightly mocking voice suddenly rang out, startling Lin Qingyan so much that she dropped her fork. The man opposite her still kept his head down. Did he have eyes on the top of his head?
"I don't have eyes on the top of my head."
The man put down his knife and fork, looking leisurely at the boy across from him who was standing there like a startled rabbit. A faint smile played on his lips as he slowly uttered a sentence: "You have no idea how intense your gaze is?"
Being teased by the man, Lin Qingyan lowered his head in embarrassment, his cheeks burning red. He felt like a pervert, temporarily ignoring why Gu Fei could see through his thoughts, and he muttered in his own defense:
"No, I didn't..."
"I just thought you were good-looking, so... I just glanced at you a couple of times." As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Qingyan regretted it and almost bit her tongue. "No, it's not that you're good-looking, I just glanced at you a couple of times unintentionally... that's all."
