009 hesitated for a moment, then said, "[Well, this doesn't count as a mission failure, it just makes you seem a bit heartless. After all, everything he did was an expression of love for you~]"
Lin Xiao snorted, "What kind of love is this? Locking me in this room, even if that's love, it's too painful."
Moreover, Gu Nanxi has made too many mistakes; this shouldn't be the first thing he does upon waking up.
"He's the one who should wake up. Alright, Tongzi, I know what to do. You don't need to worry about me."
Lin Xiao no longer cares about Gu Nanxi; has he done something outrageous again?
Anyway, his life was completely over, and Gu Nanxi would not let him go; he knew that.
Gu Nanxi was on his way to Lin Xiao's parents' house. His father had told him that Lin Xiao's mother was an old acquaintance of his, so it should be easier to talk to her if that was the case.
Because he didn't want to use force against Lin Xiao's parents; at least, he didn't want to use that method on them.
"Ding-dong."
The doorbell rang, and Mr. Lin got up to open the door, wondering who would be opening the door for them at this hour, since no one had made any appointments with him.
It would have been better if the door hadn't been opened. But as soon as it was opened, Lin's father saw the person he didn't want to see: his rival's son, Gu Nanxi.
Lin's father's face immediately froze. "What are you doing here, Gu Nanxi? Is there something you need?"
In response to Lin's father's cold tone, Gu Nanxi became much gentler, greeting the father with a smile.
"Uncle Lin, please don't be so formal. We're family, so it's a bit much to say such things. Won't you invite me in for a seat?"
"Who's your husband? Why don't you let him in and sit down?"
Lin's mother was busy with things inside and didn't really see who it was before calling out.
"Come in, it's cold outside."
"Oh, it's Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi. Are you not too busy at the company at this time? Are you here to see our Lin Xiao?"
Gu Nanxi placed the gift she had personally chosen on the table and unceremoniously drank a cup of the fine tea brewed by Lin's mother.
He said, "I'm not here to see Teacher Lin. I'm here to see Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin because I have something to discuss with you."
"Hmph, you want to discuss our son's affair with you, don't you? Let me tell you, there's no way."
With a stern face, Lin's father showed no respect for Gu Nanxi and publicly criticized her.
Lin's mother was also frightened by her husband's terrifying appearance, as he rarely acted like this; it was the first time she had ever seen him like this.
"Don't talk like that. Listen to what Xiaoxi has to say first. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Don't get so worked up. Your health is more important."
"Xiaoxi, do you know what kind of path you're going to take in the future? Have you ever thought that even besides us, there will be others who oppose you? You..."
Gu Nanxi interrupted Lin's mother's lecture. He understood all of this, and what he did was right. He was the only one who truly loved his teacher, and everything he did was for her good.
"Aunt Lin, I know that everything you say is for our own good, but I have already made sufficient preparations."
Don't worry, I'm here simply to tell you something.
"I just hope you can bless us, bless me and Lin Xiao being together, because what Lin Xiao wants most is for someone to bless his love."
Lin's father smiled and let down his guard. Even if it was the son of a rival, nothing could compare to his son's feelings.
"Fine, fine, whatever you want. I hope you can really treat Xiao'er well. We also hope that Xiao'er can find someone who loves him very much."
Gu Nanxi nodded gratefully and immediately left the Lin family.
He finally felt relieved, but the thought of Lin Xiao's unhappy face in the room made him feel bad too.
He kept it a secret from the Lin family and hid Lin Xiao in his house.
He believed that as long as he treated Lin Xiao with sincerity, Lin Xiao would definitely be moved by him.
Gu Nanxi strolled around on his way home. This time he didn't drive because he didn't want to be so high-profile.
Lin Xiao is not a high-profile person, so he can simply give up whatever he doesn't like.
A jewelry store caught Gu Nanxi's attention because of a ring inside that seemed to be the one Lin Xiao liked.
I recalled that day when I happened to see Lin Xiao, and he saw something in a fashion magazine that he said he liked.
Gu Nanxi smiled indulgently and went inside without thinking.
[Ding! Character Gu Nanxi's favorability increased by 90.]
The manager of the gold shop happened to have seen Gu Nanxi's true face several times, so he was a little surprised by Gu Nanxi's arrival, but still greeted him obsequiously for the sake of business.
"Oh, what kind of style are you looking for, sir? We have some of our latest arrivals. Oh, it's you, Mr. Gu! What a coincidence!"
Gu Nanxi raised his eyes, but didn't say much about it. He simply replied and continued picking out what he wanted.
"Could you please wrap this up for me? I like it."
The manager blinked in surprise. This President Gu really knows how to pick things; he picked out the best ring in their entire store!
"Okay, you guys wrap it up."
Gu Nanxi was indeed happy after choosing the ring, because his next step was to propose to Lin Xiao, and he would agree to set him free after they got married.
Lin Xiao, who was at home, had no idea what Gu Nanxi had been doing outside. All he knew was how to 'persuade' Gu Nanxi now, because this child couldn't afford to make another mistake!
He planned to erase Gu Nanxi's memories. Whether he could complete the mission or not was no longer important. What mattered was that he wanted the original Gu Nanxi back. That was what he wanted.
As Lin Xiao was thinking this, the door opened, and he knew that Gu Nanxi had returned.
He silently shrank back to the bedside, afraid to see Gu Nanxi approach him because of his rude treatment.
"Lin Xiao, how can you be afraid of me? I'm the person you trust the most. You can be afraid of anyone, but not me. Do you know what I went to do today?"
“I did something that will put your mind at ease: I went to see your parents, Lin Xiao.”
When Lin Xiao saw Gu Nanxi go to see his family, he immediately jumped up and angrily grabbed Gu Nanxi's collar.
"Gu Nanxi, you can't do anything to my parents. They are my parents, you know that? If you have any problems, come at me, don't make things difficult for them!"
Gu Nanxi let go of the hand that was grabbing her collar. "Lin Xiao, you've got it wrong. I didn't make things difficult for them. I went to ask for their opinions."
