"Gu Li!" Gu Feng's voice rose several decibels.
Gu Li opened his eyes, his emotions fading again. He simply looked at his father and said flatly, "I know what my name is."
"Are you crazy! If he can do it, then why did I mention those other people before..." Gu Feng's tone was somewhat impatient.
Gu Li tilted his head, he couldn't even recall which people Gu Feng was talking about, "He's different, only him, he's been different from beginning to end."
Gu Feng, "What are you emphasizing?"
Gu Li looked at the ceiling and said lightly, "Emphasize that we are different, emphasize things you would never dare to emphasize." His voice rose, and each word was exceptionally clear.
He seemed to see a clear blue sky through the ceiling, and he silently added in his mind: Mom, I think I am quite angry. I will definitely remember to be quieter next time and try not to disturb you.
Gu Feng: "This is not a single issue."
Gu Li thought to himself, "What's the difference?" He then turned to look at Gu Feng. "Anyway, it can't be changed. There's something else I'm planning to bring up with you," he said, pointing lightly to his neck. "It's been given away, permanently."
Gu Feng felt as if the strings in his brain had snapped completely. "What did you say?"
Gu Li didn't reply indifferently, but instead took out the chain around her neck and gently rubbed it, looking very focused.
Gu Feng asked in a low voice, "How many people know about this?" The Gu family heirloom was given away just like that, and to a man no less.
He was already thinking about how to minimize the impact, get the items back discreetly, and then resolve what he thought was a joke by Gu Li.
Gu Li thought for a moment and then said, "There aren't many people, are there?"
Before Gu Feng could even catch his breath, Gu Li continued, "But you'll find out eventually, so don't even think about coming back."
Gu Feng: "Aren't you just waiting for me to cause trouble if I don't take it back?"
Gu Li said, "I was just trying to be helpful. Oh, right," he suddenly sat up straight as if he remembered something, "My boyfriend's surname is Jiang."
Before Gu Feng could react, Gu Li's tone and expression were full of pride, "We're a good match. I have the same taste as you, thankfully not like my mother, or I'd be in big trouble."
Gu Feng naturally understood what Gu Li meant. "Are you threatening me?"
Gu Li said, "I don't want you to threaten him."
Gu Feng met the man's gaze in silence again. "You think I can't do anything to you? Ha," he chuckled, "Get out of here..."
Gu Li replied naturally, "The prison you built for me, right? I've been wondering when you're going to bring it up. I almost brought it up before you. This time, I'll take the initiative to go there."
Gu Feng sized up Gu Li. "What do you plan to do?"
Gu Li said, "I've been saying this all along, give me back my phone."
Gu Feng: "What if I don't give it to you?"
Gu Li said, "There is a difference between my cooperation and non-cooperation. Shall we try?" He decisively twisted his arm, and with a 'crack', his dislocated shoulder, which he had been ignoring, was reset with the sudden sound.
His stance has been revealed.
After the crisp sound, the room was very quiet, and the two of them even breathed very softly.
Gu Feng glanced at Gu Li's wrist. "Two minutes, not a second more."
Gu Li: "Oh, it's not just one second."
The moment Gu Li got the phone, she looked at Gu Feng and said politely, "Please leave for a moment."
Gu Feng remained seated.
Without hesitation, Gu Li ran towards the door, gripping his phone tightly, but the door was locked. He leaned against the door, thinking, "Eavesdropping on my face?"
Gu Feng said, "I didn't intend to eavesdrop, you know that, right? I've only been checking on you through various means." He glanced down at his watch. "Let's say you've been gone for 10 seconds."
Gu Li, “You…” He was torn. He didn’t want to back down, but the image of Jiang Xu flashed through his mind, and his heart skipped a beat. At the same time, his voice rang out, “Dad!”
Gu Feng paused, his hand stroking the surface of his face. His eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions. How long had it been since Gu Li had called him that? He hadn't received such a call in a whole year. And now, "When time is up, you know where you should go."
He left those words behind and walked towards the door. The door opened with a turn of the knob, and Gu Li immediately started a voice call in the group chat when she heard the 'click' sound.
Answer it quickly, whoever it is, answer it quickly. The first person has answered.
"Li? What's wrong?" Ji Hai's voice came through, sounding a little sleepy.
"Hai, listen to me now, I have limited time." Gu Li's voice didn't sound anxious, but only he knew that he was consciously nervous.
Ji Hai understood when he heard that time was limited, and he responded softly, "Mm."
Gu Li didn't waste any words and started explaining directly, "Jiang Xu fainted at home," he said, feeling his heart tighten. He continued, "Go and check on him, I don't want anything to happen to him."
"Please don't let anything happen to Jiang Xu," Gu Li said, closing her eyes tightly.
"Okay," Ji Hai agreed readily.
Gu Li took a breath and spoke again, "If he's alright, tell him to wait for me. At most half a month, no," he immediately denied, "at most a week, um," he affirmed his words as if cheering himself on, "I'll be back in a week at most."
Hearing this, Ji Hai said worriedly, "Li, don't push yourself like this. Jiang Xu isn't that impatient."
“But I am,” Gu Li answered decisively, “I can handle it well, thanks, Hai.”
Ji Hai: "Hmm, is there anything else?"
“Also,” Gu Li quickened her pace, “tell those guys not to worry about me. This time is different from last time. This time it’s just that the old man’s ability to accept the facts is not good, while I’m calm.”
Ji Hai, "I understand, you..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard a busy tone from the phone receiver, "Hello, hello, Gu Li!"
Gu Li looked at her phone, which had lost signal, and scoffed, "It really didn't give me a single extra second." Jiang Xu's profile picture hadn't lit up during those two minutes.
Gu Li thought, it's okay, Ji Hai and the others are very reliable, I can completely trust them.
As he pondered this, he walked out of the room, knowing that some things were bound to happen sooner or later.
When Jiang Xu woke up, he was exceptionally clear-headed, as if the gloom had been completely swept away.
The sunlight streaming in through the window shone brightly into the room, and he looked at the gleaming light falling on the floor.
He thought, "Today is a beautiful sunny day, and also a good day for our first date."
He took out his phone to check the time and found it was exactly 8 o'clock. His door was still half open, and the bottle of sleep-inducing gummies was rolled on the carpet.
Jiang Xu picked up the things and placed them on the coffee table. His steps toward the bedroom to wash up were filled with joy.
