Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Gu Chao slammed on the brakes and stopped, his gaze moving up the long, straight legs in front of him and landing on the boy's smiling face.

Two seconds later, he turned around and ran away.

"Trendy Bro!"

The boy strode forward and grabbed Gu Chao's wrist.

"Let me go..." Gu Chao struggled desperately, his eyes darting nervously around, afraid of being seen by passing classmates.

"I won't let go." The boy increased the pressure of his knuckles and pulled Gu Chao back forcefully.

Gu Chao was rather thin and frail, like a piece of paper. In the boy's hands, she was like a kite on a string, with no control over where she flew.

Gu Chao stood in front of the boy, so nervous that he dared not breathe.

"Didn't you say you'd come find me?" The boy smiled cryptically. "I've been waiting for half a year. Isn't that a bit too long?"

"..." Gu Chao lowered his head and trembled.

This terrified look really annoyed the boy.

He's not a monster, why is he so scared?

Why wasn't he this scared when we were having sex?

"You didn't leave any contact information when you left. I searched the entire Moon City to find you, and you're still hiding from me..." The boy's tone was somewhat aggrieved, as if he were accusing someone.

Actually, he had run into Gu Chao at a bookstore two months ago. Gu Chao was probably buying workbooks with his parents by his side. He didn't think much of it and just rushed up to say hello. But as soon as Gu Chao saw him, he ran away like he was avoiding a plague god, dragging his parents along.

And then, we arrived at the present.

He went through great lengths to find out where Gu Chao was from, and finally managed to get him to attend school, only to be rejected.

If we're talking about who's pitiful, it's Xin Chuan who's pitiful.

"I have to go to class now, please don't stop me, and please don't come looking for me again, please..."

"Why? Isn't it good to be friends? Don't you like me?"

"I don't like you!" Gu Chao's face turned bright red, and he accidentally lost his voice, causing the students passing by to look at him.

Xin Chuan frowned upon hearing this, took a step forward to get closer to Gu Chao, and looked down at him with their significant height difference:

"I..." Gu Chao felt a lump in his throat, and memories that he had suppressed for a long time came flooding back.

Six months ago, Gu Wang took him to a bar, where he accidentally drank a drink offered by a stranger and subsequently lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in a hotel bed, with a boy whose arms were covered in tattoos sitting next to him.

The boy was wearing clothes at the time and even asked him if he was thirsty, but for some reason, he was incredibly hot and his mind was filled with lewd thoughts. Under the influence of alcohol, he actually pounced on the other person.

Based on the fragmented memories he pieced together, Gu Chao was certain of two things.

Gu Chao couldn't remember.

He only remembered feeling as if he were possessed by something, becoming completely insane.

His conservative personality resurfaced, and he couldn't accept that he had done such a thing. He put on his clothes and ran away, vowing to keep the secret to himself.

But now, the only one of the two people who knew the secret has appeared before him, forcibly triggering that terrible memory...

"To be honest," Xin Chuan lowered his voice, "so, Brother Chao has to take responsibility for me."

Gu Chao: "..."

It's impossible for me to take responsibility; I'll never take responsibility in this lifetime.

With the morning self-study bell about to ring, Gu Chao knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he gritted his teeth, pushed past the boys, and headed towards the school.

Xin Chuan quickly grabbed Gu Chao's waist and lifted him up!

The boy, who was much shorter than him, was lifted into the air and kicked wildly with his legs.

"Let me go! I'll scream for help if you don't!"

……

When He Ziyu got out of the car, he saw Gu Chao being held in the arms of a tall, burly thug with sapphire blue hair. From a distance, it looked like a kidnapping.

"Isn't that Wangwang's cousin?"

Beside him, Jiang Chengyu looked in the direction He Ziyu was pointing.

"It really seems to be him."

"What's going on? Kidnapping a top student in broad daylight?"

He Ziyu raised an eyebrow, a small flame of justice igniting in his chest, and he rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.

Jiang Chengyu quickly followed.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing?"

He Ziyu crossed his arms in front of his chest, shining brightly, like a god descending from heaven.

Gu Chao's first reaction upon seeing He Ziyu was embarrassment, and he wanted to run away. But then he thought that He Ziyu was probably the last straw he could grasp.

With so many people coming and going at the school gate, it's not that no one saw him being bullied, but they all acted as if it were none of their business. Some girls even covered their mouths and giggled, whispering among themselves, seemingly discussing something.

Gu Chao's heart was ice-cold...

"I want to have a chat with Senior Gu." Xin Chuan smiled innocently, his nose red from the cold.

The weather was still quite cold in late winter and early spring, but the boy was only wearing a leather jacket. It was unclear whether he was trying to look cool or what.

He Ziyu ignored him and instead looked at Gu Chao: "Senior, do you know him?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chao shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"Hey classmate, Senior Gu already said he doesn't know you, and you're still chatting with him? Aren't you being a bit presumptuous?" He Ziyu raised his chin, trying to appear very imposing.

The boy in front of me looks like a troublesome thug. To make him back down, I have to intimidate him with my aura first.

Xin Chuan was surprised that Gu Chao would say he didn't know him. He grabbed Gu Chao's chin with his right hand and lifted it up, forcing him to look at him.

""

He Ziyu was unaware of the whole story. He frowned and said to the boy, "Let go of Senior Gu first, or you won't be able to leave if the security guards see you."

Xin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Chengyu, who was quietly moving his wrists beside him, and obediently put Gu Chao back on the ground.

Having been in the business for so long, he can tell at a glance who is all bark and no bite and who has real skills.

Despite the imposing presence of the aggressive young man in front of him, he didn't take him seriously at all. The one next to him, who hadn't spoken a word, had an even stronger aura, and it was hard to say whether he was a hidden master.

He Ziyu and Gu Chao exchanged a wink.

Gu Chao understood immediately, turned around, and strode into the school.

"I'm not a bad person," Xin Chuan said. "You don't need to be so wary of me."

He Ziyu: "I don't know if you're a bad person or not, but Senior Gu Chao is definitely a good person. It's wrong of you to bully a good person."

Upon hearing this, Xin Chuan sighed silently.

Chuan Chuan was suffering inside, but she couldn't say it.

He kindly took the drunk Gu Chao to the hotel, intending to rest for a while before leaving. However, Gu Chao woke up, pushed him down, and stripped him naked.

Under duress,

In this situation, how could it be considered that Gu Chao bullied him?

He Ziyu couldn't hear Xin Chuan's inner grumbling. He grabbed him and waved him in front of Xin Chuan, saying, "If you dare to harass Senior Gu Chao again, you'll have to bear the consequences."

Xinchuan: "..."

……

During lunch, He Ziyu specifically called Gu Wang to their table and brought up the matter.

Upon hearing that his cousin had been harassed, Gu Wang quickly asked, "Was the other guy tall and handsome, not wearing a school uniform, and had tattoos?"

He Ziyu: "I don't know if he has tattoos or not. I can't see them because they're hidden under his clothes. As for height... he's quite tall, maybe over 1.8 meters. He's wearing a leather jacket and has a few strands of blue hair on his head. I don't think he's handsome at all. He's nowhere near as good-looking as Brother Yu."

Gu Wang: "..." He was just asking a simple question, how did he suddenly get shown up like that?

"That's definitely him," Bei Yao put down his chopsticks. "He kills without blinking an eye, eats without salt."

Jingran: "That's Nezha!"

Bei Yao: "Mmm, it's Nezha. Whatever my darling says, it is."

Gu Wang: "..." Holy crap, can we even eat this meal?!

He Ziyu had no interest in watching the two of them show affection, muttering to himself, "Xin Chuan? That name sounds familiar..."

"He's quite famous; anyone who hangs out in the world should know him," Jingran said. "I've never met him in person, but I've heard his name... Oh, by the way, why was he blocking your cousin's way? Do they have a grudge?"

"He..." Gu Wang hesitated, unsure how to explain the matter.

He was the one who took Gu Chao to the bar that day. Bei Yao was there too. Later, everyone got into a good time and no one noticed that he was missing until the party was almost over.

Gu Wang was very anxious and kept calling Gu Chao, but Gu Chao wouldn't answer until the next morning.

Then I briefly blurred out some details of what happened last night and recounted it to him...

Gu Wang is a clever man, and no matter how much his honest cousin censors his words, he can't be fooled. In short, Gu Chao accidentally drank a stranger's wine, was taken to a hotel, and slept with that person, but he doesn't know who the other person is.

Gu Wang felt extremely guilty that his cousin had been "defiled."

After that, he wanted to settle scores with Xin Chuan, but Gu Chao stopped him, saying he couldn't go no matter what, and even threatened him to go home and swallow his exam paper to commit suicide if he went.

Gu Wang panicked as soon as he heard that.

His cousin was the hope of the whole family. What if something happened to him? He was involved in this whole thing. After all, if he hadn't taken Gu Chao to the bar, Gu Chao wouldn't have been targeted, wouldn't have drunk the drinks offered to him, and none of what happened afterward would have happened.

Jiang Nanqiao: "Gu Chao is so introverted, I think that school bully just doesn't like him, that's why he's causing trouble for him, right?"
