Chapter 2: The Cold-Blooded Sentinel's Overbearing Love for the Little Guide: Have We Met Before?
"Him? Ha..."
Upon hearing Gu Shanshan's name, Gong Mo's lips curled into a cold smile.
His gaze towards Gu Anrong grew even colder, and his slender thumb landed on Gu Anrong's face, pressing heavily against her pale, bloodless lips.
Only after his lips were forcibly pressed until they were red and swollen did he speak coldly.
“He was perfectly fine; my brother took him away as soon as we met.”
Looking at Gu Anrong's stunning face, he continued, "Don't worry, my brother is so protective of his own, he treats him like the apple of his eye. Even if they have forgotten each other now, it can't change the bond between them."
"The moment Gong Ye saw your brother, he took him back. According to the rules of this world, they will soon be in bed together."
Just like they were back then.
Gong Mo recalled the past, a dark and ambiguous light flashing in his deep eyes, as he lowered his gaze to look at the person on the bed.
"Rong'er, your younger brother Gu Shanshan will be doing very well here. Are you satisfied now, hmm?"
The sounds that followed became very soft.
Gong Mo's gaze as he looked at Gu Anrong was terrifyingly deep.
Faced with Gong Mo's gaze, Gu Anrong's heart remained as still as a stagnant lake.
Nothing happened.
He asked calmly, "Then...can I see him?"
Since his younger brother escaped from Gong Ye and was then brought into this so-called quick transmigration world by Gong Ye, they haven't seen each other for a very long time.
Their real parents had been dead for hundreds of years. Now, in this world, whether in fantasy or reality, Gu Shanshan was his only family.
It was clearly a request, but Gu Anrong spoke of it in a very indifferent way.
"Gong Mo, I'd like to see Shan Shan. Can you arrange that?"
Gu Anrong appeared exceptionally cold and aloof.
Like a deity high above the heavens, looking down upon all living beings, without sorrow or joy.
It infuriated him!
Gong Mo said coldly, "What if I say no?"
Without any hesitation, Gu Anrong sighed.
He said calmly, "Then forget it."
Although he was disappointed, he knew he couldn't force it, so he let it go.
Knowing that Gu Shanshan was doing well here made him a little more satisfied; that was enough.
Damn it!
Gu Anrong put on that indifferent expression again.
Gong Mo was furious.
He was clearly the god, and Gu Anrong was only converted into a human to engage in dual cultivation after he favored and doted on her.
But Gu Anrong's expression made it seem as if their positions had been switched.
Gu Anrong looked at his cold and pitying appearance as if he were the one being pitied by Gu Anrong, while he was the one crawling on the ground, begging Gu Anrong, this god, to take a look at him, this pitiful human being who could not be redeemed.
This infuriated Gong Mo, and after the anger came endless sorrow.
An unnamed rage rose in his heart, and he reluctantly grabbed Gu Anrong's shoulders, pulling her off the bed.
He wrapped one arm around Gu Anrong's waist, holding her tightly in his arms, and used the other hand to lift Gu Anrong's chin, forcing her not to look him in the eye.
"Rong'er, after all these years, besides him, what else do you care about?"
Gong Mo's tone was doting, but his voice carried an undisguised sorrow.
He was furious, yet he was powerless against Gu Anrong.
"I have no idea."
Gu Anrong's voice was very weak, just like the impression he gave off—frail and delicate.
It was as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Gu Anrong looked at Gong Mo with a cold gaze and met his eyes.
He could clearly see the surging, violent emotions building up in Gong Mo's eyes. Even after all these years, seeing Gong Mo like this still felt strange to him.
Or, to put it more accurately, it's because I don't like it.
He doesn't like Gong Mo.
The calm voice responded again, "Besides Sparkle, I don't know what else in this world I can care about."
After all these years, the relationship between him and Gong Mo has long since become a dead end.
He knew what Gong Mo wanted by pestering him, but the hurt Gong Mo had caused him in the past was too deep.
He was once incredibly naive, full of beautiful expectations and love for the world, even to the point of being foolishly naive and kind.
Therefore, he felt heartbroken when his dreams were shattered by Gong Ye and his kindness was trampled and mocked by Gong Mo.
That's why he was so badly injured.
Gong Mo destroyed him with his own hands, turning him into the numb person he is today.
He could never fall in love with Gong Mo, and he could never reciprocate the feelings Gong Mo desired.
But he could never escape it.
He was like a withered tree, rotten from the roots, with no chance of ever taking root and sprouting again.
He died.
He was killed when Gong Mo tried to harm him.
He lived in this world like a walking corpse, and the only person who could touch his heart was his biological younger brother, Gu Shanshan.
Meeting the Gong brothers was, for him and Gu Shanshan, a matter that had been going on for so many years, that they no longer knew whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"So...is there really nothing that's worth your concern?"
Gong Mo didn't know what her mindset was when she asked that question.
"For example...me?"
When Gong Mo said these words, it was as if he had used up all the courage he had in his life.
But Gu Anrong looked at Gong Mo with indifferent eyes, as if she had heard something strange.
He answered honestly in a declarative tone, "Gong Mo, I won't care about you."
The coldness with which he uttered those words seemed to mock his overestimation of his abilities.
"Gu Anrong!"
Unable to get the answer he wanted, Gong Mo's eyes turned bloodshot, filled with angry, violent, and vicious glares as he stared at the person in his arms.
Having experienced everything, Gu Anrong used to be afraid of Gong Mo's rage.
But after spending more time together, he realized that even if Gong Mo was furious, he wouldn't lay a finger on him.
He was fearless and emboldened.
"Gong Mo, since you won't let me see Shan Shan, let's go."
This is, after all, a virtual world, and he doesn't want to stay any longer.
Even aversion.
Because this virtual world represents lies, he knows it's all an illusion, and he knows his younger brother is being deceived by it, but he can't tell the truth, which makes him feel guilty and distressed.
Gong Mo, however, did not do as he wished.
"Since we're already here, we might as well watch this good show to the end."
As he spoke, Gong Mo suddenly exerted force, leaning over and pressing Gu Anrong down onto the bed.
"Rong'er, guess what? Is your brother on the bed right now, just like I'm on top of you right now?"
"I have no idea."
Gu Anrong didn't want to say anything more about this pointless question.
"You don't know? Heh..."
Gong Mo gave a sinister laugh, then kissed Gu Anrong's lips, lingering on them as he whispered, "Rong'er, I want you..."
......
On the other side.
Gu Shanshan hadn't done anything yet when her target took her home.
As the only younger brother of the King of the Empire and one of only two chief sentinels in the Empire, Gong Ye naturally lived in a very luxurious place.
As soon as the car stopped, Gu Shanshan swayed, and before she knew it, Gong Ye had already swept her up in a princess carry.
Gong Ye carried Gu Shanshan straight into his master bedroom.
Upon arriving at the master bedroom, they placed Gu Shanshan on the bed.
Gong Ye stood on the edge of the bed, his tall figure blocking the sunlight streaming in from the French windows.
Gong Ye faced Gu Shanshan against the light. Gu Shanshan sat on the edge of the bed and looked up, making Gong Ye's features appear even more deep and captivating.
Unsurprisingly, Gong Ye was an extremely handsome man.
At least apart from Gong Ye's older brother, King Gong Mo, Gu Shanshan had never seen anyone as handsome as Gong Ye.
Gong Ye stared intently at Gu Shanshan, his thin lips pressed tightly together, remaining silent.
That icy gaze, almost tangible, made Gu Shanshan stiffen all over, and she felt uneasy sitting there.
She swallowed hard and asked with difficulty, "Mr. Gong, what...what do you want to say?"
He really wanted to say, "Speak up! Stop staring at me with those creepy eyes. It's making my heart race."
Hearing Gu Shanshan's voice, Gong Ye felt as if an ant had bitten his heart again.
It felt strangely familiar.
He murmured Gu Shanshan's name to himself, "Gu Shanshan... Shanshan... Shanshan..."
Gong Ye repeated Gu Shanshan's name several times to himself, making Gu Shanshan think she had done something wrong.
Frightened, she asked again, "Mr. Gong, do you have any questions about my name?"
It's just a name, why repeat it so many times?
It was as if they were going to eat him up. The person reading it didn't think much of it, but Gu Shanshan, the listener, always felt like she was about to be eaten.
Upon hearing Gu Shanshan's voice, Gong Ye stared intently at her.
After a long pause, a deep voice said softly, "Gu Shanshan...have we met somewhere before?"
Gong Ye finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
Taking a few steps forward, getting closer and closer to Gu Shanshan, he said, "The moment I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity."
More than just familiarity, upon seeing Gu Shanshan, the pent-up emotions that had been building up within him for so many years gradually calmed down.
Gong Ye frowned, as if he had thought of something, and his gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp.
"Gu Shanshan, did you use your mental soothing ability on me?"
The guide has the ability to calm down agitated sentinels, but as for how to do it, Miya had never had a guide before and did not know the method.
Gu Shanshan quickly shook her head, "I didn't."
He added ingratiatingly, "Without your orders, Mr. Gong, I dare not use any mental energy to guide you."
After all, the body of the last guide who tried to guide Gong Ye without permission is still hanging on the city gate outside.
Everyone in the empire knows that Chief Sentinel Gong Ye utterly despises Guides.
He must be crazy to dare to touch Gong Ye's sore spot without permission.
Gong Ye's expression softened a bit, and he suddenly took a big step forward, easily pushing Gu Shanshan's body onto the bed.
Gong Ye leaned down on Gu Shanshan, commanding from his superior position, "Little guide, I now order you to please me."
