Chapter 457

Gu Zhihang: Ah ah ah ah, believe in what science, your brother is locked up, that's a pirated brother, wake up!

Seeing that even the most cautious and careful Seeing Qian Bao had been deceived, he pouted.

Knowing that if he had the slightest reaction, his body would hurt, he didn't make a sound.

'Gu Zhihang' noticed that the version of himself in this world had woken up, his expression waveless.

Having seen his younger brother grown up, his heart slowly calmed down.

Later, using the excuse of returning to Haicheng to handle business, 'Gu Zhihang' went to see the grandparents of this world.

"Gu Hangbao is here." Gu Mu was very happy to see her grandson, "When did you arrive? Are you hungry? If you're hungry, Grandma will make you a bowl of noodles, with freshly made sauce meat, it's very fragrant."

"Hungry," 'Gu Zhihang' said.

"Wait, Grandma will go make it for you." Gu Mu immediately went to the kitchen, not needing the nanny to move, making it for her grandson herself.

'Gu Zhihang' saw his grandfather. The old man didn't experience the pain of "the white-haired sending off the black-haired" (although it was false news, but, at that time, his grandparents had already passed away for many years, so what was the difference?), and now his spirit was still vigorous.

"Gu Laoyezi."

Gu Fu beckoned to his grandson, "Gu Hangbao is here, come quickly and see my precious parrot."

"Little Five, say something quickly."

The emerald little parrot called Little Five looked at 'Gu Zhihang' and said in a milky voice, "Good health, everything goes as you wish."

"Hahahaha, really smart." Gu Fu touched the little guy's head with his finger, and opened his mouth to praise.

He also said to his grandson, "This is the little guy I just got, your Aunt's husband sent it, smart, right?"

The old man was glowing, wearing clean and proper clothes, speaking with full breath, looking like he could live at least another ten years.

'Gu Zhihang' smiled, "Smart, Gu Laoyezi raised it well."

Gu Fu was overjoyed, "It's all blind learning, come, you feed it too, looking at these little guys will make your mood better."

As he said that, he gave the little food bag in his hand to his grandson.

'Gu Zhihang' took it, lowered his eyes to feed his grandfather's little pet, and his cold eyebrows and eyes became soft.

Gu Fu felt that his grandson's mood wasn't very good, so he said, "If the pressure is high, take a break, come home, let your grandma make you something delicious. If you think your grandma is nagging, Gu Laoyezi and I will take a fishing rod to fish, or go watch a performance that young people like... People, you can't always be tight, just like a spring, if you keep pulling it, it will break. Money is a good thing, everyone knows, but how much is enough to earn? Being happy yourself is the most important thing."

His calloused hand touched 'Gu Zhihang's' head.

"Our Hearing Hearing Erzai is already very amazing, more amazing than many peers. Who in the family isn't proud of you? Don't force yourself too hard, go out and play when you're free, young people should play more."

The grandfather and grandson sat together, talking warm words. Gu Fu unconsciously called out the name from the past.

Foul.

'Gu Zhihang's' eyes were a bit hot.

He suddenly hugged Gu Fu, like a helpless child hugging his only support.

"Gu Laoyezi, I must have disappointed you," he said, referring to his previous life.

If he ended up in that situation, if Gu Laoyezi and Grandma knew, they would... probably wish they hadn't had him as a grandson.

Gu Fu was stunned, raised his volume, "Nonsense! When have you ever disappointed me?"

He gently patted his precious grandson's shoulder, his tone firm and powerful, "Our Zhihang is the grandson your grandma and I are most proud of. You and your brother have been worry-free since you were young, you are both good children."

"Are you too tired? If you're tired, take a few days off, just stay here, adjust and adjust."

'Gu Zhihang' said hmm, "I'll stay."

Gu Fu hadn't seen Zhihang so fragile for a long time, only thinking that there were too many things in the company and the child was tired. The old man felt heartache, and hearing his grandson wanted to stay, he was overjoyed.

"Staying is good, tell your grandma what you want to eat, and let her make it for you. If you don't want to eat the food at home, Gu Laoyezi will take you out to eat. Several restaurants have opened not far from our house."

'Gu Zhihang' nodded, "Okay."

Gu Mu's voice sounded from not far away, "Zhihang, the meal is ready, come eat quickly."

"Coming."

In the gap of eating, Gu Fu said to Gu Mu, "Old woman, pack a bed for Zhihang, he's going to stay for a few days."

Gu Mu didn't even ask for the reason, saying happily, "Really? Okay, I'll go right now. Zhihang hasn't been here for a while, I see he's thin, must take advantage of him staying at home to supplement him. I'll go to the market later to see if there's an old hen to buy, and stew soup for him to drink."

"I'll go with you. If there are ribs, buy some ribs too. Zhihang likes sweet and sour ribs," Gu Fu said.

"Listen to you." Gu Mu walked hurriedly upstairs, and before leaving, she said to 'Gu Zhihang', who was slurping noodles, "Zhihang, after eating, put the bowl there, Grandma will wash it later."

She nagged, "Taking the car is tiring, after eating, take a bath, go back to your room and sleep, you'll have spirit after a sleep."

Gu Mu's nagging was precious to 'Gu Zhihang'.

After eating the noodles, he carried the empty bowl to the kitchen, washed it skillfully, and put it in the cupboard.

By the time Gu Fu turned his head, he saw he had washed the bowl, "Why did you wash it, your grandma is going to nag me again..."

'Gu Zhihang's' expression was serious, "I wanted to wash it myself, I'll explain to Grandma, won't let Grandma nag you."

"Nagging is fine, I'm used to it, I wouldn't be used to it if I didn't hear your grandma's nagging one day," Gu Fu said with a smile.

"Go upstairs and rest."

'Gu Zhihang' said hmm, followed his memory upstairs and returned to his room.

He walked to the balcony, standing high and seeing far.

He could see the backs of the Gu family's old couple holding hands as they went out, could see the small pedestrians in the distance, the bicycles passing by occasionally...

This smoke and fire made the gloomy air in 'Gu Zhihang's' heart dissipate quite a bit.

He lived in the Gu family's western-style building for a week, accompanied his grandfather to fish, watch performances, helped his grandmother who cooked, and the three generations of grandfather and grandson chased dramas together... He saw the eldest cousin who spoke softly, and the lively and cheerful cousin Gu Yu and others.

The Gu family was thriving, and everything was good.

In his spare time, 'Gu Zhihang' also handled work matters. He had also fought in the business world and was considered experienced. The body owner's career wasn't difficult for him.

With the help of his second uncle and the Lin family, the career of Gu Zhihang in this life was obviously bigger and went more smoothly.

'Gu Zhihang' felt he should be jealous, but found he wasn't.

He knew this was also the life he should have had.

After a week, 'Gu Zhihang' said goodbye to his grandparents and started his journey home.

Before leaving, he hugged Gu Fu and Gu Mu.

"Gu Laoyezi, Grandma, take care of your health, I will miss you."

The old couple was stunned, their hearts feeling indescribably warm.

"If you miss us, come back, we grandfather and grandson will still be like these few days," Gu Fu patted his grandson's back and said, "You also take care of yourself, take a break when work is tiring, don't treat your body as a trivial matter, you know?"

'Gu Zhihang' listened earnestly and answered solemnly, "... Got it, I will."

Releasing his grandparents, he turned and left. The moment he turned, a flash of water passed through his eyes.

He knew that this departure, for him, was a farewell.

'Gu Zhihang' didn't dare to look back, walking fast, and only let out a long sigh after sitting in the car.

An overnight express train.

He arrived home at noon.

Just after putting down his luggage, he heard a clear, jade-like voice.

"Back."

'Gu Zhihang' raised his eyes and saw Gu Zhiyu leaning against the antique shelf, arms crossed, looking at him with smiling eyes.

"... Big, Big Brother." His tone was surprised.

Gu Zhiyu was wearing his unit's uniform, his shoulders were wide, his head was small, his face was white and clean, his eyes were clear and spirited, his temperament was clean, and he had the feeling of a male god on a university campus.

It was the mental outlook 'Gu Zhihang' stubbornly believed his big brother should have.

Gu Zhiyu walked towards his younger brother and hugged him, "Mom said you missed me, told me to come back and see when I have time. The head of the family has spoken, I didn't dare not to come back, came back as soon as I had a holiday."

He had earned merit several times and had been promoted several times, so asking for leave wasn't as difficult as before.

'Gu Zhihang' was surprised, "Mom asked Big Brother to come back?"

Gu Zhiyu looked at him unexpectedly, "Why are you calling her Mom again suddenly? Didn't you say that Mom is what villagers call her, and we should call her Mama?"

"Wanted to call her that, so I did," 'Gu Zhihang's' expression was calm.

His twin brother was such a casual personality.

Gu Zhiyu accepted it well, his expression indulgent, "Okay, whatever you want."

The brothers sat on the sofa, with the two dogs, Da Huang and Hu Po, sitting on both sides, just like when they were young.

The two dogs ate the good food Lin Zhao got from lucky draws. Now they still looked like young dogs, their body shapes were bigger than dogs of the same breed, and they were good dogs for guarding the house.

Before, they sent the four cubs to school, now they send Yaobao to work.

The two dogs were targeted by dog traffickers before, relied on their cleverness to escape the disaster, and even saved many of their kind.

A dog owner who lost their dog knew about this and specially customized a wooden sign to send over, which was still hanging on their necks now.

'Gu Zhihang' touched Da Huang's head, his eyes bright.

Da Huang was still alive, really good.

Back then, he and his brother were starving, and the skinny Da Huang even gave them the sparrow it had finally caught to eat. After he became successful, he went back specially to find Da Huang, only to find out... it had been killed and eaten for meat.

This was a regret in 'Gu Zhihang's' heart.

Gu Zhiyu sat in a leisurely posture, propped his arms and looked at his younger brother, asking, "Did you encounter trouble in your business?"

'Gu Zhihang' raised his eyes, "No, things in the business world are nothing to me."

"Then you missed your brother?" Gu Zhiyu's mouth curled slightly.

'Gu Zhihang' didn't deny it, said hmm, his tone sinking slightly, "Yes, missed my brother. Days without brother are painful every day."

It wasn't because his brother often did good deeds and accumulated merit for him that he wouldn't have had the chance to see them again.

Gu Zhiyu's eyes paused, and he reached out to rub his younger brother's head, "Why did you suddenly become so deep, it's worrying. Did you encounter anything unhappy? Tell me, brother will find a way for you."

"Nothing, just some emotions, we grew up together, walked different paths," 'Gu Zhihang' smiled, and without waiting for his brother to speak again, he asked, "Brother, how many days can you stay at home? I want you to accompany me."

After they graduated from university and were busy with their own things, Gu Zhiyu had never heard this again. Hearing it again now, he was filled with mixed feelings.

"Can stay for a week, what do you want to do, brother will accompany you."

'Gu Zhihang' looked at his brother, his eyes bright, "I want brother to accompany me to ski, this is what I want most, also want to climb mountains, also want to see the sea..."

"Arranged." Gu Zhiyu opened the drawer, took out a hard-covered notebook, and started to make a strategy by writing and drawing, "My time is limited, have to plan the itinerary in advance. You want to ski most, then we'll go skiing first, then we..."

'Gu Zhihang' looked at his brother's calm and composed appearance, his expression slightly startled.

Brother finally walked the path he wanted to walk in this life, really good.

The brothers played together for a week before returning.

Lin Zhao found that the coldness between the second cub's eyebrows and eyes had melted like snow, his expression was light, with a smile on his mouth, as if he were the Zhihang who made her both envious and jealous.

"Back, smelling of sweat, stinking to death, go wash up."

Gu Zhiyu smiled good-naturedly, "Came back in a hurry, going to wash now."

'Gu Zhihang' opened his arms, pretending to hug Lin Zhao, "Dislike? Let's stink together."

Lin Zhao didn't dodge, hugged her son back, a dampness in her eyes.

She could feel the second cub was about to leave...

"How old are you, why are you still like a child."

The young man's voice was low and muffled, "Even at eighty, I'm still Mom's child. Having Mom is really good, being Mom's child is really good."

Lin Zhao's tears gushed out.

'Gu Zhihang' felt the warmth on his chest, his heart felt as if it had been scalded by just-boiled water, and even his flesh and blood curled up.

Mom, you feel heartache for the second cub who walked alone and was covered in wounds, right?

The second cub can see you again, see Dad, see Big Brother and younger siblings, see grandparents... the wish is fulfilled.

Mom, where I am doesn't matter, you all must be well... no matter where I am, family is always what I care about.

That night.

'Gu Zhihang' lay flat on the bed, quietly waiting for the moment of his departure, not alarming anyone, just like when he came.

Lin Zhao was extremely uneasy, came to her son's room, and knocked on the door.

'Gu Zhihang' opened his eyes, the dead eyes dyed with light.

He stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Mom?"

Lin Zhao shook the storybook in her hand and said with a smile, "Want me to tell a story to coax you to sleep?"

"Yes!" 'Gu Zhihang' pulled Lin Zhao's sleeve, his expression stubborn, "Mom has to wait until I fall asleep before leaving."

"Okay." Lin Zhao's voice was soft, her heart filled with love and bitterness.

"Mom is really good," 'Gu Zhihang' said contentedly.

Lin Zhao's eyes heated up, she blinked hard, forcing back the tears.

She couldn't let the second cub leave with worry.

'Gu Zhihang' lay on the bed, reluctant to close his eyes. He looked at Mom, a sincere smile appearing on his face.

"Mom..."

Lin Zhao stopped and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Being Mom's son is really good."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao lowered her head, and bean-sized tears fell. She hurriedly wiped them away, pretending to be annoyed and patted her son's arm.

"Stinky boy, why are you suddenly so sentimental, almost made me unable to hold it. I'm getting old, my tears are getting shallower, you won't laugh at me, right?" She stared at the second cub, as if he dared to nod, she would beat him.

"No." 'Gu Zhihang's' laughter was relaxed.

The gloomy atmosphere melted like cream.

"I still want to listen," he urged.

Lin Zhao held the second cub's hand and glared at him, "Who was it that interrupted me."

"It was me, I admit my mistake." The moment the words left his mouth, surprise flashed in 'Gu Zhihang's' eyes. His world was survival of the fittest, the right to speak was in the hands of the strong, and there had never been apologies or admitting mistakes. So he had such a side too.

He was happy to accept it.
