Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Gu Chao: "..."

Is it really necessary to be so blunt?

He Ziyu: "Sorry, Senior Gu, I'm just a bit blunt. Please don't mind."

Gu Chao: "No, I don't mind..."

After the two exchanged information briefly, He Ziyu had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

As they approached the school gate, He Ziyu suddenly put his arm around Gu Chao's shoulder.

Gu Chao's body stiffened.

"Senior, I'm your boyfriend now. Basic physical contact is necessary. It's definitely not about taking advantage of you."

"..."

Gu Chao nodded, trying to make himself less reserved.

Although he is rather introverted, he is actually quite warm-hearted and eager to make friends.

If it weren't for what happened with Xin Chuan half a year ago, he wouldn't have such strong aversion to men.

"Senior, relax, we're almost there."

With his gaze locked on his target, He Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly and proudly raised his chin.

From this moment forward, He Ziyu is the ultimate, invincible, thunderous, and supreme offensive force in the universe!

Anyone who tries to take his harem shall be killed without mercy!

……

At that time, under the eaves of a house not far away.

The onlookers all turned to look at Jiang Chengyu, who was surrounded in the middle.

His wife is hugging another guy and acting all high and mighty, and he's even looking smug about it...

Who could stand this?!

"Brother Yu, are you alright?" Jingran asked worriedly, staring intently at his face. "Ayu is just acting. Look at his acting, how rough and exaggerated..."

Jiang Nanqiao tugged at Jing Ran's sleeve, "Jing, say less."

If we keep talking, I'm really worried that Jiang Chengyu might lose control and rush in, ruining the whole thing.

Jiang Chengyu remained silent, watching He Ziyu's figure intently, feeling the high concentration of acetic acid spreading through the air until it completely enveloped him...

the other side.

He Ziyu put his arm around Gu Chao and walked up to Xin Chuan.

Xin Chuan straddled the motorcycle, one leg on the ground, and was clearly stunned when he saw the two of them being so intimate.

Then, he frowned.

"Hey Chao, what do you mean?"

The direct question startled Gu Chao, who quickly lowered his head to avoid Xin Chuan's sharp gaze.

"What do you mean? You have eyes, can't you see?" He Ziyu hugged Gu Chao tightly, his face full of provocation.

"I was asking Chao Ge, I wasn't talking to you." Xin Chuan took a long stride, stepped off the motorcycle, and walked up to the two of them.

He Ziyu subconsciously took a half step back.

Even though just minutes before, he had been mentally telling himself that today he was the invincible, super-aggressive top...

But standing in front of Xin Chuan, he admitted that he was still a tiny bit... scared.

Xin Chuan was very tall, about the same height as Bei Yao. Although he didn't have a lot of muscle, his muscle lines were very firm. He also had a faint scar at the corner of his eye. Coupled with the aloof aura he exuded, it was clear that he was someone who worked in the underworld.

Xin Chuan glanced at Gu Chao in He Ziyu's arms and said coldly, "Brother Chao, you're not thinking of playing some trick of hiring someone to pretend to be your boyfriend to force me out, are you?"

His scheme was exposed effortlessly, leaving Gu Chao feeling embarrassed. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one.

Fortunately, He Ziyu remained relatively calm. While Gu Chao was stammering, he didn't hesitate to pull him behind him and say, "Hey classmate, have you been watching too many melodramatic soap operas?"

Xin Chuan turned his gaze and it landed on He Ziyu.

He Ziyu: "I've liked Senior Gu Chao for a long time, but I've never dared to confess. This morning, when I saw you waiting for him at the school gate, I felt that if I didn't confess now, it would be too late, so I told him the truth."

"And then?" Xin Chuan chuckled. "And then you two got together?"

"Yes." He Ziyu nodded, took Gu Chao's hand, and intertwined their fingers. "Senior Gu Chao said he likes me too. We're compatible. Is there any problem with us being together?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Chuan's face immediately fell.

"Brother Chao, is what he said true?"

Gu Chao lowered his head and said in a very soft voice, "It's...it's true..."

"It's true, so why won't you look me in the eye?" Xin Chuan stepped forward, his movements cold and hard as he grabbed Gu Chao's chin and forcefully lifted it upwards. "Gu Chao, do you dare to swear?"

Gu Chao: "..."

Xin Chuan: "If you dare to swear it, I'll believe you."

Gu Chao swallowed hard, instinctively casting a pleading look at He Ziyu.

He can't lie, not since he was a child, and he's never even cheated on a quiz.

For Gu Chao, the consequences of ignoring morality are very serious.

Seeing Gu Chao's predicament, He Ziyu quickly stepped forward and pulled Xin Chuan's sinful hand away.

"Why should Gu Chao listen to you? I'm his boyfriend!"

Xin Chuan stood still, his hawk-like gaze fixed on He Ziyu.

The next second, she grabbed his wrist and pulled hard!

He Ziyu stumbled into Xin Chuan's arms. Before he could react, something cool pressed against his neck.

Looking down, I saw that it was a sharp little dagger.

"Xin Chuan, let him go!" Gu Chao's face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled. "Our school has security guards..."

The weak threat had absolutely no effect on Xin Chuan.

"Brother Chao, you should know who I am, right?" Xin Chuan raised an eyebrow, the back of his knife tracing back and forth across He Ziyu's neck. "I've sent countless people to the hospital, some with minor injuries, others half-dead."

"..."

"I wonder what will become of your little boyfriend?"

Gu Chao: "Xin Chuan, I beg you, let him go, I'll do whatever you say..."

He Ziyu: "Senior, don't listen to his nonsense, he's just trying to scare you!"

He Ziyu was certain that Xin Chuan wouldn't attack him in front of the crowded school gate, much less be so heartless as to do so in front of Gu Chao. He was clearly doing this to scare Gu Chao into telling the truth.

"You little brat, are you looking for death?" Xin Chuan increased the pressure on his hand, causing He Ziyu to cough.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Just as Gu Chao was at a loss, considering whether to shout for help, an unidentified object fell from the sky, grazing Xin Chuan's eye and hitting the motorcycle behind him.

While Xin Chuan was dodging, He Ziyu felt someone grab his shoulder and forcefully pull him out of the other person's arms.

He Ziyu stumbled and bumped into Jiang Chengyu in the chest.

"Brother Yu..."

Jiang Chengyu remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on Xin Chuan.

To ensure He Ziyu's safety, he had been secretly observing. When he saw Xin Chuan making unwanted advances towards He Ziyu, his anger flared up instantly, and he rushed over.

Xin Chuan rubbed the cut on the corner of his eye with the back of his hand, looked Jiang Chengyu up and down, and when he caught the unease in his eyes, he suddenly understood something.

As the saying goes, no amount of acting skills can compare to genuine emotions.

The boy's eyes clearly said: If you dare to touch a hair on He Ziyu's head, I'll fight you to the death.

Xin Chuan scoffed, pressed his thumb to put away the knife, and said teasingly, "You two really are inseparable."

He Ziyu knew that the "you" Xin Chuan was referring to was him and Jiang Chengyu.

He came to school with Jiang Chengyu this morning, and Jiang Chengyu stepped forward again in the moment of crisis. All these clues make it hard not to think.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around to watch the commotion, Gu Chao was afraid that if the stalemate continued, the whole school would know that the school bully from No. 5 Middle School was relentlessly pursuing him. So he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "If you have something to say, say it to me alone. Don't bother them..."

Xin Chuan: "Is Brother Chao finally willing to give me a chance?"

"Interpret it however you like..." Gu Chao frowned, "Anyway, once we've resolved this, don't come looking for me again..."

Xin Chuan smiled, got back on the motorcycle, and patted the back seat.

"Come up."

"..."

He Ziyu was a little worried, so he leaned close to Gu Chao's ear and whispered, "Senior, you don't have to force yourself. We can protect you."

"It's okay, he shouldn't hurt me."

"But……"

"Thank you for today."

After Gu Chao finished speaking, he walked over with heavy steps and put on the helmet that Xin Chuan handed him.

He made a mess, and he should be the one to clean it up.

He was grateful that He Ziyu was willing to help him out of respect for Gu Wang, but he couldn't explain to He Ziyu's friends if something happened to Gu Wang because of him.

With a roar of the engine, Xin Chuan sped away with Gu Chao in his car. When the car was only the size of a sesame seed, He Ziyu sighed in frustration and said, "It's all my fault. My acting was terrible. I should have hugged Gu Chao and kissed him just now."

Jiang Chengyu: "..."

After He Ziyu finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Jiang Chengyu's mixed feelings. He realized that Jiang Chengyu was probably jealous, so he quickly pinched his ear.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding..."

Jiang Chengyu, suppressing her jealousy, asked, "Did he hurt you?"

"No," He Ziyu shook his head, "He kept the back of the knife facing me and held it against me with his hand, clearly trying to scare Gu Chao."

"It's good that you're alright," Jiang Chengyu said. "I had already thought it through when I was walking this way. If he had hurt even a hair on your head, I would have broken his hand off."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu's lips twitched twice.

"My God, Yu-ge, when did you become so violent?"

"I'm not exactly a gentle person," Jiang Chengyu said, "especially when some people cross my line."

……

A short while later, several people who had been watching the play under the eaves also ran over.

Upon learning that Gu Chao had voluntarily left with Xin Chuan, Gu Wang was filled with rage.

"You little brat, I refuse to believe I can't kill him..."

"Woof woof, calm down. Maybe he just took your cousin to the river for a walk?"

Jiang Nanqiao saw that Gu Wang was very angry, and only dared to say half of her comforting words.

Actually, she also wanted to say that Xin Chuan didn't seem like a bad person.

And based on her years of experience in the BL (Boys' Love) community, the two of them actually looked quite... compatible.

"A breeze? A breeze my ass! He dared to drug my cousin, what else can he do..."

Gu Wang realized he had blurted something out and quickly shut up, but it was too late.

The group of people who had caught the key information all turned to look at him.

"Woof woof, what did you say? Xin Chuan drugged your cousin?!"
