At this point, Mo Chen's gaze softened, and his tone became gentler, "However, no matter how I look at your face, I think it's beautiful and cute! I was thinking, this beautiful and cute little guy is my younger brother, such a fragile younger brother! It's because of this that I hesitated for a long time... When I came to my senses, I realized that if I don't get rid of you, I'll have to suffer like this for the rest of my life!"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen and smiled bitterly. He knew in his heart that Mo Chen must have been suppressing the urge to harm him back then. Looking back now, he must have had that urge too!
"Just as I was about to make my move, you suddenly woke up." Mo Chen smiled at Gu Liyan, recalling, "I remember being terrified. I couldn't run away, and I didn't know what to say. But you looked me up and down with those big eyes. I thought you would scream for help. But..."
Mo Chen laughed out loud, "You actually recognized me! You asked me if I was Brother Mo Chen? You looked so innocent and told me that you would often sneak out to play with me, that you hoped I would celebrate your birthday when you got better, and that you would thank me for taking over the family business and taking care of you..."
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment. He also remembered what happened back then. Mo Chen was wearing clothes with the Mo family crest on them, so he recognized him quickly.
Mo Chen was ten years old at the time, a very handsome boy, clean-cut and generous, with a gentle and refreshing aura. Most importantly, he gave Gu Liyan the feeling of having known him for many years. So Gu Liyan wasn't afraid, but instead cleverly revealed his identity and started chatting with him.
He was incredibly bored, spending year after year alone in the hospital ward.
"I was terrified! I was going to kill you! When did we become so familiar?" Mo Chen said with a wry smile, "Forget all the resentment and jealousy!"
Gu Liyan reached out and took Mo Chen's hand, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Brother Mo Chen..."
Mo Chen looked at Gu Liyan and said with a smile, "Silly little brother, how long has it been since you called me brother? The stupidest thing I ever did was to foolishly promise you: your brother will always take good care of you!"
Tears welled up in Gu Liyan's eyes. This feeling came suddenly, yet it also seemed to have existed for some time.
"Back then, I don't know what was wrong with me, but I always felt like I owed you so much, even my life!" Mo Chen squinted at Gu Liyan's dark eyes. "Or maybe it was because of your eyes that I always felt they shouldn't be so dark, and I wanted to give you a colorful world!"
Gu Liyan clearly remembered that the diary described her as having purple eyes, and perhaps Mo Chen was the Mo Chen mentioned in that diary.
That's what he thought, and that's what Mo Chen thought too, because Mo Chen owed Gu Liyan a life!
"Since then, I studied hard, and at the age of fifteen, I successfully took over the Mo family!" Mo Chen said proudly. "All of this was for myself, and also for you!"
Gu Liyan saw that Mo Chen's eyes were slightly red. It had indeed been a long time since he had called him "brother." When did it start?
It seems that after reading those diaries...
He is Gu Liyan, and Mo Chen is just Gu Liyan's little follower!
At this point, Mo Chen suddenly brought up the diary: "When I was twenty, I had a dream."
Mo Chen recalled, "In the dream, there was a man dressed in white ancient costume, who was extremely handsome. He told me that our memories of our past life were in the Mo family's treasure vault, and that we must retrieve them!"
"I searched the entire treasure vault and found a locked box. Then I remembered that the old man gave me a key when he died. When I opened it, I was so stupid I almost cried! It was a bunch of diaries!" Mo Chen said, laughing and crying at the same time. "But when I read the diaries, I found that the person in them looked exactly like me! They recorded the story of a fox demon named Gu Liyan!"
Mo Chen spoke with a serious expression, "It mentions that Gu Liyan's other name is Mo Li, and the Mo Chen who made a contract with him looks exactly like me! I knew it might be us, so I didn't hide it and gave it to you. However, I've read the contents. Gu Liyan, everything you did in your past life was for a woman! That Hua Baixian! And now, the woman named Hua Baixian has really appeared, downstairs! Now, tell me, what are your feelings for her?"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said, "I thought I would meet her, but I didn't expect to meet her so soon... As for my feelings, I... I don't know."
Mo Chen paused for a few seconds before speaking, "You're an adult now, and you should be able to make your own choices about love. But do you know that your health problems stem from her? Every time you've tried to protect her, you've ended up exhausted, both physically and mentally! You saw it yourself in the end, didn't you? You died for her! If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have died! I think the reason this diary was left behind is to remind you and me not to have anything to do with her anymore! I can assure you, if you continue to be so stubborn and sacrifice yourself for her in this life, you will ultimately meet a tragic end!"
Gu Liyan hurriedly spoke up, "I'm not even sure if Xiao Bai is her yet. The reason I'm protecting her so much is because she's the girl from when I was little! She's the one who guided me out of the hospital! Besides, she's a kind person and won't cause me any trouble!"
Mo Chen said irritably, "Actually, you specifically sent someone to look for her, didn't you? Or rather, if her name wasn't Hua Baixian, you probably wouldn't have even given her a second glance! Now, you've gradually fallen for her!"
"I—" Gu Liyan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Even though he can act, Gu Liyan always adheres to the principle that when it comes to real emotions, he either likes what he likes or doesn't need to hide what he doesn't like.
