Chapter 79, First Update
Why? She was so happy when she was with him, so why did she feel no joy at all when she saw him? He thought that after spending so much time together, she should have some feelings for him, but it turns out she didn't?
Ling Hao said, "I'm just very surprised." She wasn't trying to comfort Gongzi Yu; she was genuinely surprised that this unexpected rain had led to this accident.
“But you don’t seem happy to see me.” Gongzi Yu keenly noticed this. That was precisely why he was so sad.
He thought things had completely changed between them, but it turned out that was just his assumption.
Ling Hao wanted to retort, but her mouth opened and closed again, and she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She didn't dislike Gongzi Yu, but Mingyue was indeed more important than Gongzi Yu, and she couldn't refute that.
Gongzi Yu's expression grew even colder. "Why don't you deny it?" He desperately wanted her to deny it.
“I can’t lie to you,” Linghao said. She had promised Mingyue she wouldn’t lie to him. Although Mingyue and Gongzi Yu were two different people, they were also one person, so she wouldn’t lie to him.
Gongzi Yu sneered and turned away. He would rather she lied to him; at least lying to him showed that she cared about him.
Linghao stood there, letting out a long sigh. She felt she must be crazy; the rain was getting heavier and she was still standing there getting soaked. She must have something wrong with her brain.
The next moment, an umbrella appeared above her head. Ling Hao looked up, then turned around, and sure enough, the person holding the umbrella for her was Gongzi Yu.
"Do you still have the double-skin milk pudding you mentioned?" Gongzi Yu looked down at her, his eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.
Linghao shook her head. It was a gift she had promised Mingyue, and she wouldn't make it for anyone else before Mingyue had eaten it. Mingyue was a very insecure person; she had worked so hard to build his trust in others, and she wouldn't let that trust be destroyed.
Gongzi Yu's eyes immediately dimmed. Sure enough, in her heart, he was not even a fraction as good as that fool.
"But can I make steamed egg custard? Can we eat it?" Linghao asked. This was the only simple dish she knew how to make; anything more difficult, she couldn't do even if she burned down the kitchen.
"Eat." Gongzi Yu wanted to refuse with dignity; without double-skin milk pudding, steamed egg custard was just a substitute, a compensation. But he lacked the backbone; he couldn't refuse.
In her presence, he seemed utterly spineless. If he had, he should have turned and left immediately, instead of returning with the umbrella. He returned without backbone, and naturally, he lacked the backbone to refuse. Gongzi Yu was even more worried that if he refused this time, there would be no next time.
His Ah Hao wasn't a good-tempered person, or rather, she only reserved her good temper for that idiot. Although Gongzi Yu was furious and about to explode, he thought about it and turned back. Even though this made him seem weak-willed and spineless, he did it anyway.
So what if you lack backbone? It's better than having nothing at all.
Ling chuckled and said, "I'll go back and change my clothes first." Although she felt that Gongzi Yu's temper flared up and subsided quickly, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Because Mingyue was the same way, she was always quite mild-mannered in front of her.
Although Mingyue and Gongziyu are two different people, they are also one person, and they still have things in common.
Hearing Ling Hao say that, Gongzi Yu's face showed a hint of annoyance. Why did he have to argue with her here just now, making her clothes wet?
After changing her clothes, Linghao went to the kitchen to make steamed egg custard. Actually, what she meant by steamed egg custard was simply steamed eggs, which is very simple: just beat the eggs, add water, and steam. As for whether it would be successful, that depended on luck. Anyway, she usually made it perfectly two or three times out of ten times; the other times, even if it was bumpy, it was still edible.
Anyway, it's edible, so who cares? The rest depends on Gongzi Yu's luck.
Clearly, Gongzi Yu's luck was average. He didn't get a perfect bowl of steamed egg custard; instead, he got a bowl that was full of bumps and dents. But far from being disappointed, he treasured it as if it were a rare delicacy.
Ling Hao looked completely bewildered. Wait, did her cooking skills mutate after she transmigrated? Even a simple steamed egg custard looked like a delicacy? No way, her master had eaten it too, and it was just so-so!
She looked at Gongzi Yu with a puzzled expression, "Is it that delicious?"
"This was made for me by A-Hao," Gongzi Yu said earnestly. He had never suffered since childhood. Whether in the capital or on the island, he had eaten all kinds of delicacies and was used to them. This was made for him by A-Hao, and no amount of fine food could compare.
Ling Hao: "..."
However, it's just a plain steamed egg custard, right? She's not a master chef like Little Chef; she can't make anything fancy. Besides, she remembers that idol dramas don't film things like this anymore. Is a bowl of steamed egg custard something to be excited about? The audience would criticize her.
For some reason, Linghao just felt something was off, as if she smelled something strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
If Linghao had ever been in a relationship, she would know that what she was sensing was the aura of someone obsessed with love, and a very pure one at that, completely beyond saving.
"Alright, let's talk now." Ling Hao sat down opposite Gongzi Yu.
"What are you talking about?" Gongzi Yu had just carefully put down the bowl when he heard Ling Hao's question, and immediately sat up straight.
Linghao was amused by his reaction and said, "I don't eat people, you don't need to be so nervous."
You don't eat people, but I care about you. Gongzi Yu still couldn't say those words; he just tried to relax his body a little.
"You and Mingyue are one body with two souls, right?" Ling Hao thought for a moment and used this explanation. This was probably the right way to put it at this point; explaining things like dual personality was a bit complicated. Well, mainly because she wasn't a professional, she was worried that if she misunderstood, it would cause even more trouble.
“No, it was just me from beginning to end,” Gongzi Yu said. “He is me too.”
“You…” Ling Hao paused, “You know he’s also you?”
Gongzi Yu said, "I never believe in any concept of a soul; he was originally me." If the other him were truly Mingyue Nu, then he should be a baby who couldn't even speak. But in his memory, that wasn't the case.
He considered himself his younger brother, the deceased Mingyue Nu. But Gongzi Yu knew perfectly well that he was another version of himself. Although he didn't know why he appeared, he always regarded the two of them as one, even though he sometimes thought he was a bit too foolish.
Until… Gongzi Yu looked at Ling Hao. Until her appearance, until he realized he liked her, until he knew she cared more about another version of himself, he finally separated the two of them. It's actually quite laughable; it was simply that he was jealous of his other self.
He was jealous that he met Ahao first, and jealous that Ahao cared about him more. Jealousy burned in his heart, making him uneasy and unwilling to admit that they were the same person. He didn't want to keep it from Ahao forever; he just thought he would tell her the truth when she cared about him more.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and his affair was discovered, forcing him to admit they were the same person. But deep down, a longing arose within him. If they were the same person, would Ah Hao view them the same way?
Gongzi Yu felt as if he had been split into two people. On one hand, he hoped that Linghao could distinguish between him and Gongzi Mingyue, but on the other hand, he also hoped that she could look at them with the same eyes.
"That's not quite right," Ling Hao frowned slightly. "It's true that there's no other soul, but it doesn't mean there's no other person. Mingyue has his own memories and emotions; he's an independent personality." If we deny Mingyue's existence, wouldn't that be denying everything about him?
Thinking of that vibrant face, Ling Hao was unwilling to admit it.
Gongzi Yu's eyes twisted for a moment, but he concealed it because she was looking at him. "His memories are fragmented, and his memories are also my memories. He is clearly not..." an independent person.
He didn't say the second half of his sentence aloud because he saw Ling Hao's eyes. If he denied Mingyue's existence, would she abandon him?
Ling Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, what I wanted to say was..."
"I'm tired." Gongzi Yu suddenly stood up. "Let's talk about it tomorrow." Then he left.
He didn't want to listen anymore; he was worried that what she was about to say wasn't what he wanted to hear. It was better not to listen than to regret it later.
"Uh..." Ling Hao was surprised to see Gongzi Yu disappear using his light-footed skill, vanishing in an instant. No, she just wanted to say that regardless of his personality, they were all her friends. Was it really necessary to run so fast for just that one sentence?
Wait, what was she originally going to talk to him about? She forgot. Ling Hao patted her head in frustration.
The poem was originally intended to tell Gongzi Mingyue about the young master who had been sent to the capital. She had been taken away by the emperor, and no one knew where the young master had gone. This was something Gongzi Mingyue definitely needed to know, but who knew that today the person in charge had changed to Gongzi Yu.
Moreover, it was obvious to the naked eye that Gongzi Yu was in a bad mood, so he had no choice but to step forward and tell him what had happened.
"Understood." Gongzi Yu didn't care about this matter. He was just a subordinate of Xiaoyao Hou; even if Xiaoyao Hou himself came, he wouldn't care. Right now, the only person who could make him so upset and hesitant was Ling Hao.
Shici desperately wanted to hear the word "step down" from Gongzi Yu, but he remained silent, leaving her only to wait. Sigh, at times like this, she longed for someone to come and rescue her.
The incessant sound of rain outside the window only added to Gongzi Yu's unease. Suddenly, he sat up slightly.
"Young master, do you need me to handle this?" Shici touched the weapon tucked behind her back with her right hand.
"No need." Gongzi Yu sneered. "Tell everyone to let that person in and bring him here."
He was feeling very troubled when someone offered him this kindness. How could he refuse it?
"Yes, young master."
