Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Doesn’t it sound romantic?
Because it was the first time they met, Uncle Huang was afraid that the child would be nervous, so he went to his house to pick him up early in the morning, driving his own low-key car.
He even called the eldest young master in advance.
Gu Yang was still lying on the bed, his voice a little confused. He just casually said, "I know," and told the person to go upstairs by himself after receiving the call.
But Uncle Huang felt that it was inappropriate, and he persuaded him with emotion that it would be better for him to get up and come down to pick up the child on the first day of tutoring.
There was a rustling sound coming from the other side, probably someone turning over in the quilt. After a long moment, a muffled "hmm" was heard.
He has worked in the Gu family for more than twenty years and witnessed too many things. He also watched Gu Yang grow up. Although he is the son of his employer, he still has some true feelings for him.
He also knew that the child was very sentimental, so he was willing to listen to the nagging of an old man like him.
After picking up Song Yinxing, he drove on his way back.
"It's okay, don't be too nervous. Today, only your employer and his brother, who is one year younger than him, are at home."
Uncle Huang had investigated the other party's family background during the preparation stage, so after parking the car in the underground garage, he specially comforted him: "When you meet him later, just go directly to his room."
Song Yinxing nodded slightly.
It is because he has experienced so much malice and darkness that he can better appreciate the preciousness of kindness.
He could see that the house was worth a lot of money and the person living in it was either rich or noble.
And those rich people basically never left a good impression on him.
They were walking up from the basement to the first floor, and Song Yinxing happened to see someone.
Gu Qingxu?
How come he is here?
A chill rose from Song Yinxing's heart, making his hands and feet feel a little cold.
Gu Qingxu, who was wearing home clothes, just came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. When he saw the uninvited guest, he was stunned for a moment: "You are..."
Uncle Huang quickly added, "Second Young Master, this is the tutor that the eldest young master personally found."
"Tutor? What do you teach?"
What else can you teach? Uncle Huang was a little puzzled: "Of course it's about study."
At this time, footsteps were heard upstairs.
Through the dark grey metal grille, the silhouette of a person can be vaguely seen.
As if he realized something, Song Yinxing's heart beat faster and he raised his eyes to look straight over there.
Gu Yang walked down slowly. Because he was indoors, he was only wearing a beige knitted cardigan and comfortable and loose pants. He was barefoot and wearing a pair of slippers, which looked somewhat soft.
"You're here." He yawned sleepily, not realizing the tense atmosphere between the two of them. He greeted Song Yinxing in a very natural manner, "Go to my room first."
"What are you going to do by bringing him into your room?" Gu Qingxu asked coldly.
Gu Yang's voice was lazy and sounded weak: "What does it have to do with you?"
After having a mild blow, Gu Qingxu's face looked even uglier.
Uncle Huang quickly came out to smooth things over: "Of course it's for tutoring, this Xiao Song is here to be a tutor."
He knew that the Second Young Master had a bad temper. Although they would not have any interactions, they would be in and out frequently in the future, and it would be no good for Xiao Song to offend him.
Song Yinxing had come back to his senses. He followed Gu Yang upstairs first, and it was with great difficulty that he resisted the urge to look at Gu Qingxu again.
He doesn't like Gu Qingxu.
This person is Nie Ying's friend. To be so close to Nie Ying, they must be of the same kind at heart.
But compared to Nie Ying, Gu Qingxu is a little more restrained.
He had never used any substantial means on him, but occasionally when Nie Ying targeted him, he would be there, neither blaming nor encouraging, but just smiling as it all happened.
That person had a strong sense of class and liked to divide people into different levels. Song Yinxing could feel the contempt hidden beneath his smile every time he looked at him.
Even though what was happening now was completely different, he was not under the overwhelming pressure from Nie Ying, and naturally he had not had any contact with Gu Qingxu.
But even in this first meeting, it was clearly written on the other person's face: Why are you here?
After returning to the room, Gu Yang collapsed back onto the bed.
He threw his slippers aside and grabbed a pillow and hugged it to his arms.
"Sit anywhere you want, on the sofa or chair, but not on my bed."
Song Yinxing had many, many things he wanted to ask Gu Yang, but the first thing he said was, "Why... did you go through so much trouble to find me?"
"Didn't you say you would tutor me?" Gu Yang half-squinted his eyes, "Wouldn't it be nice to make some money while you're at it?"
"I want to give you tutoring because I want to thank you for helping me so much before, so I don't need money. I know I don't have anything else to give you." Song Yinxing shook his head calmly.
"Just take it. It's not from my account anyway, someone will reimburse you." Gu Yang said lazily, "Just think of it as helping me spend more money."
The next wave of rejection that Song Yinxing had prepared got stuck in his throat. He digested this sentence in confusion and bewilderment: "But you don't have to offer me this price. After all, it's your family's money..."
"It's okay. I deserve this anyway. Just consider it as compensation for mental damage." Gu Yang waved his hand impatiently. "Okay, let's end this topic. I don't want to listen anymore."
Song Yinxing was speechless. He could only suppress the matter temporarily: "Then get up from the bed first, and let's start tutoring."
"No, go read your book, you can use my desk." Gu Yang only had half of his legs hanging by the bed. "I'm going to sleep, don't call me if you need anything."
Song Yinxing watched as Gu Yangzhen closed his eyes and fell asleep: "Why are you going to sleep so early in the morning? Shouldn't you have just woken up?"
Gu Yang ignored him, closed his eyes and refused to communicate.
Song Yinxing is now basically certain that the other party's purpose in finding him is to give him money.
But why would I be willing to do so much for him?
Whether it was when he rescued him at the cost of offending Nie Ying when they first met, or when he dealt with Ding Ziyu who was constantly causing trouble for him, he even took the initiative to offer to visit his mother in the hospital, although this was a bit sudden.
No one would be so nice to another person for no reason.
Song Yinxing never understood.
This is the only variable in the different directions of his two lives.
He wondered if the other party had also been reborn.
But even if Gu Yang was reborn, he would have no reason to help himself.
After all, they had no intersection in their previous life. Gu Qingxu, the only one who had connections with both sides, would probably not mention himself in front of Gu Yang.
Song Yinxing forced himself to suppress the dead end in his mind.
"Gu Yang, you don't have to do this for me." After so many encounters before, he could feel that Gu Yang had a bad temper. He said in a coaxing tone, "Get up first, I'll sort out the key points for you, and then we'll do a test paper within a limited time."
When Gu Yang heard this, not-so-good memories came flooding back. He covered his face with a pillow and didn't want to face it: "No need, just shut up."
Although Gu Yang was arguing with him, Song Yinxing's expression did not change at all.
He knew what was a malicious insult.
The point is not why Gu Yang did this, but how much Gu Yang has done for himself. Song Yinxing tried his best not to look for the reason.
This is the person who has been showing kindness to him.
He closed his eyes.
It is so precious.
"There's not much time left in the morning, so let's start with math." Song Yinxing took out the key points he had sorted out and spread them out, "Get up quickly, or it will be noon."
"I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm really sleepy now." Gu Yang was still lying in bed, his tone still a little broken.
"I know that many people will say this when they first read a book." Song Yinxing said calmly, unmoved.
It seems that the other party doesn't want to pay any attention to him.
Song Yinxing sighed softly, stood up helplessly, and tried to pull Gu Yang out of the bed first: "Don't be like a child..."
He hadn't taken two steps when he was suddenly tripped by something solid. He lost his balance and fell onto the bed with a thud.
He barely supported himself on the bed with his hands and looked back in panic to see what had happened.
What I saw instead was a long-haired ragdoll cat with shiny fur squatting on the carpet. It looked a little frightened, staring with innocent eyes at the human who had kicked it for no reason.
"Didn't I tell you? I don't like anyone sitting on my bed." A faint voice came from behind.
Song Yinxing just realized that his supporting hand was only a few centimeters away from Gu Yang's head.
Gu Yang looked at the other person expressionlessly.
It was the first time that Song Yinxing looked into those grey eyes at such a close distance, he could even see the trembling eyelashes when they blinked clearly.
Neither of them spoke yet, and the deadlock was broken by a knock on the door.
"Master, is Brin here with you?" Xiao Huang turned around and found that the cat was nowhere to be found. The doors and windows on the first floor were locked. She guessed that she must have quietly run upstairs again.
Not getting a response, Xiao Huang pushed the door open anxiously.
She looked at the two people on the bed in shock.
Before he could give any feedback on what he saw, Brin, who didn't want to stay here any longer, meowed and ran out.
The cat has been found. Xiao Huang expressed his apologies for mistakenly entering in in a stuttering manner, then slowly retreated with a messy expression and helped them solemnly close the door.
Song Yinxing didn't have time to say anything, but when he struggled to stand up, the person had already left.
Gu Yang, who was still lying on the bed, couldn't help but laugh. Song Yinxing couldn't see the other person's expression hidden behind the pillow, but he could also feel how happy he was about what had just happened.
Song Yinxing: “…”
However, in this way, Gu Yang's originally depressed mental state improved a little. He stretched out a hand to Song Yinxing and asked the other party to pull him up.
He let Song Yinxing continue to sit at his desk, and then dragged a stool and sat down next to him.
Song Yinxing tried hard not to recall the incident just now and opened his textbook.
"So many notes, worthy of being the first." Gu Yang has the problem of feeling sleepy after reading too many words. This is something he is born with and cannot change, so he can't concentrate on the content at all. He can only praise the large amount of notes.
"My family is not well off, so I started studying hard when I was very young, because everyone said that only in this way can I change my destiny." Song Yinxing said calmly.
But it turned out that everything he did seemed to be in vain, and was just a ridiculous and self-defeating struggle in the eyes of some people.
"My father only knew how to gamble and lost all the money in the family. My mother was the only one who could earn money, but later she also fell ill. I became the one who could support the family, so I came to Guanli to study."
"But even so, the man still wouldn't let us go. He still asked us for money when he was short of money, and he didn't care about my mother's life or death at all."
"My mother still tells me how good that man was to her back then, but no matter how good he was, his true colors have not been revealed yet. It's true that time reveals a person's true character."
At this point he came to his senses and said sorry.
Too many things happened these days, his mind was in a mess, and he easily let out negative emotions.
He knew he shouldn't say so much to Gu Yang.
If Gu Yang helped him again and again out of sympathy, then he would only make the other party fall deeper.
No matter who gets involved with a person like Nie Ying, there is no way to escape unscathed.
Besides...Gu Yang was already in a difficult situation.
The news of the suicide had just passed by his ears numbly at first, but now it has caused a huge uproar.
Gu Yang's face did not show any surprise or emotion. He seemed very calm because he knew all these things.
He held his chin with one hand and looked at Song Yinxing.
He did know too much about Song Yinxing, which was not fair to him, and he was in a good mood now, so he decided to tell him something about himself.
"My parents had a very good relationship at the time. They fell in love at first sight and got married not long after. But my father was unlucky and died early."
"But my mother finally chose to die for him."
When he said this, Gu Yang smiled at Song Yinxing.
"How about it? Doesn't it sound romantic?"
