What's going on in Chapter 2?
Gu Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and the joy in his eyes slowly cooled down.
He asked coldly, "So you're being so nice to me just so I can go back tomorrow and put on a show of making up with you?"
Su Heng tied a knot in the gauze.
Gu Yuanyuan chuckled and stood up, looking down at Su Hengyi.
"Su Hengyi, I'm not going back tomorrow out of respect for you. Otherwise, if I really went back, I can't guarantee what I'd say to your grandfather—how much you look down on me in this marriage, how coldly you treat me! Ha—"
Gu Yuanyuan walked over, shook the glass shards that had splashed onto the blanket onto the floor, then lay down, pulled the blanket over himself, and went to sleep.
Su Heng bent down and carefully put away the gauze and iodine solution.
Gu Yuanyuan closed her eyes, but her ears were still listening to Su Hengyi's movements, and she heard his footsteps as he left.
Gu Yuanyuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his heart still ached as if it had been pricked by a needle.
the next day.
Gu Yuanyuan said he wouldn't go, and he really didn't go; he didn't even go home.
They all graduated early from prestigious universities with impressive diplomas.
Su Heng went back to inherit the family business, while Gu Yuanyuan stayed in L country and found a job. He didn't have much to do, so he became a teaching assistant at a well-known university in L country.
Because I was young and inexperienced, I felt like a college student myself. No matter how high my academic qualifications were, I couldn't just start teaching. I started as a teaching assistant and became a full-time teacher after a year.
In fact, Gu Yuanyuan didn't have any particularly clear career plan for what he wanted to do in the future. He studied under Su Hengyi and was used to being a lazy rich kid.
He just found a job; he couldn't do nothing, otherwise he would go crazy staying in that cold, lifeless house.
For Gu Yuanyuan, the role of teaching assistant was like that of a background character. His monthly salary wasn't even enough to cover the deductions for being late, leaving early, or being absent without leave. In fact, he was fined quite a bit every month.
It's obvious he's doing his job very casually; if the principal didn't have a good relationship with the Su family, he would have been fired long ago.
Today, Gu Yuanyuan worked quietly all day. Everyone else in the office had left, but he was still sitting in front of the computer revising his thesis.
His fair and slender hand hovered over the mouse, moving it slightly from time to time. His thin lips were pursed, and it was impossible to tell from his expression whether he was serious or in a bad mood.
The setting sun streamed in through the corridor and reflected off the windows, signifying the approaching end of the day.
Su Heng pushed open the door, his aura cold. "I'll wait for you until 6:50."
Gu Yuanyuan acted as if she hadn't heard him and didn't respond.
He lazily revised two papers, and the clock on the wall had already pointed to the point Su Hengyi had mentioned. Gu Yuanyuan showed no intention of moving, and Su Hengyi frowned almost imperceptibly.
He then turned and left, saying he would wait for Gu Yuanyuan until 6:50, not a minute longer.
It was as if he was just going through the motions to get back to his post.
After Su Hengyi left, Gu Yuanyuan smashed the computer. After he finished smashing it, he gritted his teeth and then leaned back in his chair to smoke.
Old house.
When Old Master Su saw that Su Hengyi had returned alone, his face immediately darkened.
During the meal, the old man pointed at his grandson and scolded him, "Yuanyuan's family background, character, education, and appearance—there's nothing about him that makes him unworthy of you, is there?"
Su Heng lowered his head and quietly took a bite of his steak. He put down his fork and said, "No."
"Why are you neglecting him like this if you're not around?"
"I don't love him."
“Is your heart made of stone? You’ve been keeping it warm for so long, but it still hasn’t warmed up? I really like Gu Yuanyuan. There’s nothing wrong with this child. Whenever Grandpa closes his eyes, he can still picture you carrying him on his back, covered in blood. Your blood-stained face showed your stubbornness, and your eyes were full of determination for you to live. Every time I think about it now, my heart aches.”
Su Heng lowered his head and took a sip of juice. In a calm tone, he said, "I actually hope he doesn't save me, so I don't have to feel indebted to him."
The maid opened her mouth to call out, "Young Master Gu is here," but Gu Yuanyuan stopped her with a gesture.
He was hiding in the shadows behind the wall when he overheard Su Hengyi's words.
He didn't move for a long time.
"If you treat him like this in front of me, you must treat him no better in private!"
Instead, it was Old Master Su who reached for his cane and was about to strike Su Heng.
Gu Yuanyuan, who hadn't moved for a long time, rushed out and stopped Old Master Su from hitting Su Hengyi with the head of his cane. His wound suddenly started to hurt again.
It was clear that the old man had used force to hit Su Hengyi, and Gu Yuanyuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart for no reason.
At least Grandpa Su genuinely liked him; otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to use such force to beat his grandson.
When Gu Yuanyuan turned her head to look at Grandpa Su, she suddenly laughed again, the laughter suppressing all the pain in her eyes.
"Grandpa, what are you doing? He's so old, why are you hitting him? Doesn't he have any dignity?"
A fleeting hint of caution crossed Old Master Su's eyes, "Far away—"
He was afraid that if Gu Yuanyuan accidentally overheard Su Hengyi's previous outrageous words, she would feel terrible.
Fortunately, Gu Yuanyuan acted as if he hadn't heard anything, pointed at the dishes on the table and smiled as he changed the subject, tasting the bottle of wine he had opened.
He was extremely good at chatting, and in no time he had Grandpa Su all smiles.
Su Hengyi's gaze inexplicably fell on Gu Yuanyuan. He was smiling so happily, as if it were truly from the bottom of his heart, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.
After dinner.
Grandpa Su invited them to stay.
Gu Yuanyuan came out of the bathroom. Actually, he walks with a slight limp, so he walks very slowly. This is because it is very noticeable when he walks fast, but not so noticeable when he walks slowly.
He walked to the bedside, sat down, pulled back the covers and lay down, then turned his back to Su Heng and started playing on his phone.
Su Hengyi, who had been facing away from Gu Yuanyuan, lay flat again. "You heard everything."
Gu Yuanyuan paused, holding her phone, then said in a seemingly indifferent voice, "I've always known that my kindness is worthless to you."
"I'm going to country A tomorrow."
"......"
Gu Yuanyuan did not answer. He knew that Su Hengyi had been frequently traveling to Country A in the past two years in order to establish his own power there.
Ultimately, it all boils down to him wanting to avenge Mu Guangcheng and get rid of Mu Guangcheng's younger brother, Mu Yang.
Su Hengyi never talked to him about these things, and Gu Yuanyuan never asked, as if it were an unspoken secret between them.
At this moment, Su Hengyi suddenly said this to him. Gu Yuanyuan was silent for a while before suddenly sneering, "Why are you telling me this? Do you want to go through all the hardships I went through back then just to repay this favor in order to sever ties with me?!"
Su Hengyi was silent for a moment before saying, "If you want..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuanyuan coldly interrupted him, her voice fierce, "I don't want to! What you owe me isn't something you can repay by walking the same path I walked back then. Don't even think about it, Su Hengyi. I'll fucking never let you get away with this!"
As Gu Yuanyuan finished speaking, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and he seemed to be filled with extreme hatred and was trembling slightly.
His eyes were red at the corners, his fingers were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were white.
He also said, "Don't even think about it, you don't want me!"
Su Hengyi suddenly grasped Gu Yuanyuan's hand, which was already bleeding from the bandage. As if by magic, Gu Yuanyuan suddenly felt as if all his anger and hatred had been drawn away, and he instantly calmed down.
Su Heng sat up in bed and pulled off the gauze from Gu Yuanyuan's hand.
Gu Yuanyuan yanked her hand away from Su Hengyi's and sneered, "I don't need your pretense!"
Su Heng got out of bed.
Gu Yuanyuan's heart clenched instantly, and his voice became hoarse from the outburst of emotion, "Besides walking away and leaving me, what else can you do?!"
By the end, her voice even trembled slightly with tears.
Su Hengyi did not turn around.
Gu Yuanyuan hugged his knees tightly, buried his head in his arms, and tears fell uncontrollably. His heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
Even lying in the same bed without saying a word is better than leaving, so why leave?
He clearly didn't want him to leave!
Su Hengyi reappeared carrying a first-aid kit. He took out a cotton swab, dipped it in iodine, and touched the wound on Gu Yuanyuan's hand.
Gu Yuanyuan suddenly broke free, got off the bed, burst into a hateful sob, smashed the first-aid kit that Su Hengyi had placed on the bed to the ground, and kicked it to pieces.
He looked like he'd gone mad; it was terrifying.
After venting his anger, he closed his eyes and took two deep breaths.
Su Hengyi was still holding the cotton swab in his hand. He sat on the bed and looked at Gu Yuanyuan. "What's all the fuss about?"
Gu Yuanyuan pointed at herself, "What am I making a fuss about?"
He approached Su Hengyi again, his eyes filled with hatred and pain. "You ask me what I'm making a fuss about? Is everything I do just unreasonable in your eyes?"
Gu Yuanyuan seemed to have gone mad. He went up and pressed Su Hengyi's shoulders with terrifying force, pinning Su Hengyi to the bed.
He kissed his lips forcefully, which was no longer a kiss but more like a bite, until he tasted the blood in his mouth, and only then did the pain in his heart seem to lessen a little.
He released Su Hengyi's lips, and then suddenly buried his face in Su Hengyi's neck and cried helplessly.
It's as if he wasn't the one who got angry, the one who started the fight, or the one who went berserk and bit people...
He was the one who suffered from anger, irritation, and the wounds that covered his lips from being bitten.
His crying was so restrained; to avoid making a pathetic scene by crying out loud, he bit down hard on Su Hengyi's collarbone, so hard it looked like he wanted to tear Su Hengyi's flesh off.
"Does the blood taste good?"
Su Hengyi turned his head slightly with a cold face. He looked at Gu Yuanyuan lying on top of him, his voice devoid of any warmth, chillingly cold.
Gu Yuanyuan finally let go, his fingers trembling slightly as he touched the bloody mark on his collarbone from the bite.
