Chapter 568 Extra: Gu Zhaoye, Childhood Time Machine
My name is Gu Zhaoye, and the following is my self-introduction.
I suddenly woke up late one night.
I began to doubt deeply whether I was just the loyal childhood sweetheart in a novel who was ruthlessly abandoned by fate.
Looking back on everything we've been through together, I was always absent when she needed help the most.
But why is it that my existence is always bound by some invisible force and I am unable to break free from the shackles that keep me from getting closer to her?
I opened my childhood photo album and found her photo, and the memories from deep inside my mind came flooding back...
......
In the midsummer, the cicadas are chirping, the breeze is blowing, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and the garden of Gu's house is full of various flowers, and the blooming flowers are dancing in the sunshine.
In the garden near the golf course, Gu Zhaoye had just finished a boring sport.
He was lying lazily in the sea of flowers, with his legs crossed leisurely, a piece of dogtail grass he got from somewhere in his mouth.
The servants around were serving busily and cautiously. Some held umbrellas to block the sun, while others pushed exquisite dining carts and bent down respectfully to ask the young master if he needed a drink.
A drop of sweat slid down the little boy's smooth forehead. The maid immediately knelt on the ground, took out a white handkerchief, and carefully wiped it for him.
The butler rushed over from the other end, and when he saw this scene, he was as if he was facing a great enemy, "Master, what are you eating?"
Gu Zhaoye had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his eyes, and he glanced at him with contempt.
The ten-year-old child exudes an arrogant look.
"Why are you so nagging? You're more annoying than my dad."
The housekeeper was terrified. "Master, I dare not compare myself with you. For your safety, you are forbidden to go out. There is a reason for this. Not long ago, the fourth young master of the Xiao family was kidnapped and nearly died. The master issued the house arrest order for safety reasons."
"Oh, I just want to go out. I can't hold it anymore!" Gu Zhaoye's patience was almost at its limit. He counted the days on his fingers. He hadn't stepped out of the house for more than a month.
He finally persuaded Chu Junyue to lend him the cool Black Samurai gun to play with, but Chu Junyue was as rigid as a formula and would not wait for anything after the deadline.
It was not until the housekeeper leaned close to his ear and whispered something that Gu Zhaoye's eyes lit up and he raised his pretty little face from the flowers, "Really?"
Just then, footsteps were heard nearby, and the breeze carried a faint sweet fragrance. Gu Zhaoye couldn't tell what the specific smell was, but he felt it was sweeter than the milk candy he had eaten.
He got up from the ground and seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye.
The young boy quickly reached out to brush off the petals on his clothes, and then adjusted his hair. His heartbeat inexplicably quickened a few degrees.
In order to demonstrate his absolute status and prestige, he put on a handsome face and sat down firmly on the lounge chair.
The housekeeper winked at him and reminded him, "Master, your dogtail grass."
Gu Zhaoye's face turned dark, and then he spat a few times, raised his chin, and sat more imposingly.
The little girl who came with Mrs. Gu was about the same age as Gu Zhaoye. Due to long-term malnutrition, she looked extremely thin, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.
The snow-white little face glimpsed from the shadow of the flowers stunned Gu Zhaoye for a moment.
With fair skin and black hair, she looks like a doll in a window.
Mrs. Gu specially changed her clothes into a well-behaved college-style suit that made her look like she had good grades and was easy to tease.
He didn't know if it was Gu Zhaoye's illusion, but the moment he looked into her eyes, he saw a flash of smile in her eyes. When Gu Zhaoye wanted to see more clearly, he found that the girl was standing far away, with her head lowered respectfully.
Mrs. Gu introduced with a smile: "This is a gift for you, Zhaoye. From now on, you will have a child of the same age at home to play with you. You can ask her to do anything and she will obey. She is much more obedient than your so-called friends."
A child has a wild nature. If you keep him locked up at home, his heart will become even wilder.
When he got a new "toy", his attention naturally shifted to her, and his desire for the outside world was temporarily put in the back seat.
There have been several vicious kidnapping cases of children of nobles in Monte State. Mrs. Gu has only one son, Gu Zhaoye. In order to trap Gu Zhaoye at home, Mrs. Gu has tried every possible means.
Gu Zhaoye quickly ran down from the chair and stood in front of the little girl.
He reached out his hand without hesitation and pinched the little girl's face hard, "It's so soft, is it a fake? It smells so good."
It smells so good...
How can someone smell so good? So sweet?
Gu Zhaoye seemed to see a piece of milk candy.
He wanted to take a bite.
So when Mrs. Gu still had a smile on her face, Gu Zhaoye quickly leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
"Mu Liansheng said that dolls are all sweet and soft when kissed...they don't blink or move, and they are kept in a cupboard."
"I will also lock you in a closet. I will order a huge, exquisite closet and lock you in it for the rest of your life."
His words did not scare the little girl, but his reaction frightened Mrs. Gu, who quickly asked someone to pull Gu Zhaoye away.
The little girl slowly raised her head and stood there motionless. If her long eyelashes had not blinked gently, Gu Zhaoye would have stepped forward and given her a kiss.
He had a few good friends who were one or two years older than him. Whenever there was a family gathering, there would always be guests coming up to them and offering to arrange an arranged marriage with them.
His most popular friend is Mu Liansheng. All the pretty little girls like to play house with him, but Mu Liansheng thinks they are ugly.
Gu Zhaoye asked Mu Liansheng what makes a good-looking girl.
Mu Liansheng replied that she could be locked in a display window. “If one day you see someone and you want to lock her up, that’s what you like.”
Gu Zhaoye was rather ignorant and didn't know what love was, but he just inexplicably thought of Mu Liansheng's words.
"Hello, what's your name?" Gu Zhaoye wanted to hear her voice, although he didn't understand why his mother's eyes suddenly became so sharp. Isn't the thing she gave him his? He can do whatever he wants.
Why were the maids around him all on high alert, keeping their distance from him and the little girl?
The little girl lowered her head and pursed her lips for some reason.
Gu Zhaoye suddenly felt that she was so lonely... It was clearly a gift given to him, but he left her alone far away.
Everyone looked at her. She lowered her head and said softly, "My name is Jiang Zhiyue."
