[Side quest reward: three lucky cards.]
In the spacious study with low-key and elegant decoration, brilliant sunlight pours in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the sunken wooden bookshelf filled with all kinds of rare and out-of-print books.
Amidst the faint scent of ink, the young man reads quietly with an upright posture and outstanding temperament, like a shining pearl inlaid in this beautiful painting.
The sunlight gently caressed his face, casting a soft halo on his delicate features, making him look exceptionally clean and beautiful.
[The host's personality—a cool and noble young master during the day, and a calm and considerate big brother at night—has been conveyed.]
Zhao Zhao calmly turned a page of the book and asked, "What do you mean?"
[Uh... perhaps the host can be understood as... schizophrenic?] That's probably the way to put it. Anyway, the host in this world has a very different temperament during the day and at night.
[These two different personalities will become more and more obvious in the later stages of life.]
[The following will begin to transmit the plot to the host. 】
This time, Zhao Zhao traveled back in time to the body of Xu Yanzhao, a young man who followed his remarried mother to the modern wealthy Gu family since childhood. After Xu Yanzhao came to the wealthy family, he was not loved by his stepfather and his biological mother. At the age of twelve, he captured the young master of the Gu family, Gu Jinan, and was taken care of by this little bully, which allowed him to have a place in the Gu family.
Gu Jinan cares very much about his non-blood-related brother who is only two years younger than him. In the plot, Zhao Zhao's role is defined as the protagonist Gu Jinan's white moonlight in his youth. Gu Jinan loved him but could not get him, so he found a boy who looked similar to him as a substitute.
And that young man is the protagonist of this world, Shou Yunqishi.
Because of Xu Yanzhao's existence, the protagonists, the top and the bottom, started a love affair with many misunderstandings and abuse. Although they finally ended up together, Yun Qishi, who had been in poor health, suffered too much harm in the previous love affair and eventually died after only a few months.
[Main Quest: Change the sadomasochistic plot and the death ending of Yunqishi, and improve Yunqishi's happiness.]
[Side quest: Improve Gu Jinan's personality charm (quality).]
[One year life countdown begins, host, please hurry up and complete the task. ]
"Um."
Zhao Zhao rubbed his brows and focused his attention on the book in his hand again when he heard a "ping-pong-pong" noise from the side. Zhao Zhao looked up at the noise maker and said calmly, "Keep it down."
"Okay, brother." The young man at the table raised his eyes and smiled gently.
Zhao Zhao was handling a project abroad a few days ago and only came back in the last two days. It felt like a long time since they last saw each other, which made Gu Jinan particularly clingy to him and follow him everywhere.
Even though he was already 22 years old, Gu Jinan still couldn't keep his temper in front of Zhao Zhao. Seeing that his brother was just reading a book and ignoring him, he was bored and played with the ornaments on the table.
"...What on earth do you want to do by sitting here without saying anything?" After waiting for a while and seeing that he neither left nor spoke, Zhao Zhao frowned and looked at him unhappily.
He is no longer the little boy in my memory. He has grown into an adult with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His facial features are three-dimensional and delicate, and he exudes the charm of a grown man.
But at this moment, this seemingly serious man used his handsome face to make an expression that was inconsistent with his temperament.
Gu Jinan looked aggrieved, "Didn't you say not to disturb you when you were reading?"
“Pah.”
"Then tell me now." Zhao Zhao closed the book and looked at him with one hand supporting his forehead.
Seeing his cold attitude, Gu Jinan was not angry. The little bully who was the king at home restrained all his temper and was very obedient in front of his brother.
"It's not a big deal. Lin Qingning is going back to China tomorrow, and I plan to pick him up at the airport." The young man stood next to the desk, relatively close to Zhao Zhao, staring at the noble person in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Um."
Lin Qingning is Gu Jinan’s childhood friend. They grew up together and have a very good relationship.
However, after the college entrance examination, Lin Qingning went abroad and her contact with them decreased.
