C16

The kindergarten.

Ye Chenlin sneakily leaned against the window of the classroom and stared at Gu Zhenmu. During the break, the other children were all playing, but he was the only one sitting there reading without moving.

He couldn't be like Sen Senyuan, who was too unwell to mess around, right?

Ye Chenlin thought, Gu Zhenmu suddenly raised his head and looked at him. Their gazes met, and Ye Chenlin instinctively dodged, and then stuck his head out and waved at Gu Zhenmu.

Gu Zhenmu was startled, he hesitated for a moment and walked out of the classroom, but right when he went out his wrist was caught, he was pulled by Ye Chenlin into the bathroom.

"Whooosh."

Ye Chenlin held onto the bathroom door as he panted, while Gu Zhenmu calmly stood to the side. Seeing it at such a close distance, it gave him the illusion that he was looking in a mirror.

"Who are you?"

Gu Zhenmu was the first to ask. Ye Chenlin vigilantly opened the toilet door and checked once, then answered mysteriously after confirming that there was no one around: "My name is Ye Chenlin, what is your name?"

"Gu Zhenmu."

Gu Zhenmu tightened her little face and replied with some caution in her eyes, but Ye Chenlin didn't care about that. He shook's hand and said, "Mu Mu, it's a pleasure to meet you, you can call me Lin Lin from now on."

"…"

Gu Zhenmu's face stiffened, he did not know what expression he should use. This was the first time that he was so intimate with a child, and they even looked exactly like him.

"Mu Mu, can we go together after school? I want to invite you to our house. "

Ye Chenlin's eyes shone as he asked this. He had already calculated a small plan in his mind, to bring Mu Mu home for Mommy to see, then Mommy would know if he was really his big brother.

However, his calculations were good, but Gu Zhenmu rejected him flatly: "No!" After saying that, he saw that Ye Chenlin's expression was extremely disappointed, and added on: "My father did not allow me to spend the night outside."

"Then can I come to your house?"

Ye Chenlin asked closely. If Mu Mu was the big brother, then Mu Mu's father was also their father. Knowing where they lived, their hopes of saving him would be even greater.

Gu Zhenmu frowned, two little people fighting in his head.

I wonder if daddy would be unhappy to bring a little kid home. What if dad frightens Lin Lin when he's angry? But the first time someone wanted to go home with him, he wanted someone to go home with him.

"It doesn't work either?"

Ye Chenlin asked carefully, her eyes filled with tears, looking very pitiful.

As the creases in his brows loosened, Gu Zhenmu patted Ye Chenlin's shoulders resolutely: "Alright, come look for me in the classroom after school."

"Oye! I knew Mu Mu was the best! "

With permission, Ye Chenlin cheered and hugged Gu Zhenmu for a bit. Gu Zhenmu's serious face couldn't help but be covered with a smile.

Because it was his first time bringing his little friend home, Gu Zhenmu became absent-minded after class. He kept searching in his mind what he should do when he returned home.

When it was finally time for class, Gu Zhenmu packed his backpack and sat in his seat right away. His eyes were much brighter than usual.

After waiting for a long while, the sound of clattering footsteps came from outside the classroom. Gu Zhenmu looked towards the door in anticipation.

"Why are you still sitting here?"

"Daddy?" The light in Gu Zhenmu's eyes faded as he stood up from his seat.

Gu Jinyuan walked over, raised her gaze and looked at his packed bag, then raised her eyebrows: Waiting for someone?

Gu Zhenmu pursed his lips, and only after a long while did he reply with a grunt: "Yes, a friend. He said that he wanted to go home with me to play."
