Chapter 67: Lies must be covered with lies

Gu Jinchi's hand gently stroked Lin Du's protruding spine, and Lin Du instinctively snuggled into his arms.

"Don't touch me." Lin Du said in a muffled voice.

"What's wrong?" Gu Niechi paused, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Lin Du shook his head and was silent for a moment before speaking: "They are all bones..."

His hand paused, and Gu Nichi sighed distressedly and hugged him tightly: "Lin Du, if you didn't meet me again, what would you do?"

Lin Du slightly opened his eyes, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, and he rubbed Gu Yanchi's chest: "I should still be busy every day for a living."

Life was dead silent at that time. I was like a machine, going through each day without any thoughts or emotions.

"Lin Du, I don't understand, your mother took a million from my father, why your life has become like this?" Gu Nichi frowned in the dark, waiting for Lin Du's lies.

Lin Du paused, and his breathing stopped.

How could he explain all this to Gu Penchi? He had never seen a million dollars before.

But would he believe it if I told him? Even if he did, he would continue to ask questions.

Then the fact that she and Shen Rong were not biological mother and son would be exposed, and then his life experience and the fact that he was a hermaphrodite would be dug out bit by bit.

He pinched his hands tightly, and there was clearly nothing in his throat, but Lin Du still swallowed unconsciously.

He couldn't tell Gu Xishi about all this, let alone let him know that they once had a child.

His mind was in a mess, and Lin Du trembled slightly: "The money...was all spent on Lin Yue's illness."

"So everything is forced, right?" Gu Nichi tried.

I pinched my fingers so hard that they hurt. It turned out that one lie had to be covered up with countless lies: "I'm sorry, I..."

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault." Gu Yanchi hugged Lin Du with heartache, "I'm just a little sad. Since you encountered difficulties, why didn't you tell me directly? If you told me, I would definitely help you."

Lin Du bit his lip bitterly, with too many grievances that he couldn't express: "Gu Ni Chi, please believe me, I actually didn't know that Shen...my mother would blackmail your father."

Gu Penchi curled the corner of his mouth in contempt. As expected, his mother was no longer around, so he could put all the blame on a dead person.

Did he really think he was so easy to fool? If he didn't know, how could Shen Rong show up by chance, and how could he record everything?

He glanced at the man in his arms with a vicious look. He used to think that he was not good at lying, but now it seems that he had underestimated him.

Gu Niechi's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness. At this moment, his disgust for Lin Du reached its peak. He was looking forward to seeing Lin Du in a state of despair after everything was settled.

She tightened her arms and hugged Lin Du even tighter, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear: "Lin Du, I believe what you said, but in these ten years, have you ever thought of me for a moment?"

Lin Du was startled, opened his mouth slightly and then closed it, and sighed softly: "I have thought about it."

"Really?" Gu Jingchi's voice was trembling with excitement.

Nodding, Lin Du took Gu Jinchi's hand and placed it on his chest: "For ten years, I have always forced myself not to think about you, but I think about you all the time."

"Ten years ago...everything happened so suddenly ten years ago. I didn't have time to react and was forced to accept everything."

Gu Yanchi hugged Lin Du tightly, his voice choking with sobs: "I'm sorry Lin Du, I admit that I was a coward ten years ago and didn't have enough courage to resist my father. I regret it very much."

"But now, I don't want to miss you again, and no one can stop us from being together." Gu Nichi whispered in Lin Du's ear.

Lin Du bit his lip. Everything that happened ten years ago was a pain in his heart that could never be erased. He thought that it should be the same for Gu Xinchi.

He didn't want to talk too much about what happened ten years ago, after all, there were too many painful memories. Ten years ago, he was clearly the protagonist in the incident, but he was abandoned and beaten without knowing anything.

He missed the most important exam in his life and also lost his first child.

These memories are too painful. If he could forget them, he would do so at all costs.

This way, maybe he could live a little easier.

Gu Xinchi's heartbeat seemed to carry some kind of magic, and Lin Du felt particularly relieved after hearing it.

It obviously doesn't matter who was right or wrong ten years ago.

Now that they can meet again, it is a gift from God to make up for their previous regrets. He doesn't want to continue living in the shadow of ten years ago. He wants to love well and live well.

"Lin Du, I love you." Gu Jinchi whispered softly in his ear, "I really love you. Even though we've been apart for ten years, my love for you remains the same."

"Ten years ago, I didn't quite understand this kind of feeling. I just childishly wanted to keep you by my side. But after leaving you, I realized how much I depended on you. I miss you, every day."

"I went crazy and wanted to go back to China to find you, but I was too weak at that time and I couldn't resist my father at all. I hated my own incompetence and lived in agony every day."

"I didn't find you after I returned home. Even though I had everything, my heart was always empty. It wasn't until I met you again that I realized that the empty space in my heart was missing you."

A warm current surged in Lin Du's heart, and he raised his eyes to meet Gu Chanchi's. Their eyes met, and tears shone in their eyes.

"Lin Du, I met you again, but you pretended not to know me. I was devastated at that moment, I thought you really didn't want me anymore." Gu Nichi buried his face in Lin Du's neck, "No one knows how helpless I was at that time. I wanted to grab you, but I was afraid of scaring you."

"So I can only use the most childish way to hold you by my side. Although I know it is wrong, I can't control myself."

"Lin Du, please forgive my naivety. I just really want you to come back to me."

Holding Gu Yanchi's face, Lin Du rested his forehead against his: "Gu Yanchi, I have never blamed you, not even for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yinchi hugged Lin Du even tighter, as if he wanted to rub him into his body.

The two hugged each other for a long time. Gu Yanchi looked at Lin Du with deep affection in his eyes, "Lin Du, let's never separate again. Let's be together for the rest of our lives, okay?"

A lifetime seems so far away and so empty.

But facing such a sincere Gu Yanchi, how could Lin Du bear to destroy his gentleness, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay."

"Neither of us should mention anything from ten years ago. Let it go. I believe our future will be enough to make up for the regrets from ten years ago." Gu Yanchi hugged Lin Du tightly, "Our love will last forever."

Leaning on Gu Xinchi's chest, feeling his warmth. Lin Du bit his lip and said, "But how could your father agree for us to be together?"

Gu Niechi sighed lightly, his expression solemn: "It is indeed difficult for him to accept it. He is too stubborn. In order to prevent you from getting hurt, I can only ask you not to appear in front of him for the time being."

Lin Du lowered his eyes, feeling a little disappointed. But he also understood, after all, Gu Helin hated him to the core ten years ago, and he would never forget the look in his eyes when Gu Helin forced him to admit that it was him who seduced Gu Xishi.

Noticing Lin Du's strangeness, Gu Jinchi stroked his ear gently and said, "Give me some time, I will solve all this and will never let what happened ten years ago happen again."

Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Du nodded heavily. He believed in Gu Yanchi without a trace of doubt.
