Chapter 58.3: 回忆

[Memories]

 

---

As soon as this question was asked, Chen Xing suddenly remembered the previous experiences of Gu Lang that he had heard about before, and instantly realized that he might have learned occupational skills while living outside.

 

In just a split second, Chen Xing had his mental image of Gu Lang’s orphaned and wretched child who had to learn to curry favor with others while struggling to survive, and had even honed such a skill so well.

 

In that instant, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang with compassion in his eyes, as if he had seen a small child who had suffered for many years.

 

Gu Lang did not know what Chen Xing was brainstorming about. Because he was lowering his eyebrows at this moment, his eyes were turning over certain complex emotions, as if he was alone in some kind of long ago memory, and then he gently smiled. In the midst of Chen Xing’s inexplicable eyes, his eyes were gentle and his gaze soft as he said, “Because, I used to curry favor with my father in this way. “

 

Chen Xing: ？？？

 

How was this answer completely different from what he had imagined?

 

As Gu Lang looked at the dismay in Chen Xing’s eyes, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger. The look on his face was extraordinarily gentle, so gentle that Chen Xing was somewhat skeptical that the usual Gu Lang had ever revealed such a look.

 

Gu Lang looked as if he was looking at Chen Xing, and as if he wasn’t looking at him anymore. He seemed to be looking through him at some kind of image from a long time ago, and his voice was very soft. 

 

“I’m the youngest child in my family, and the smallest one in my family, and I grew up amidst my parents’ favor since I was a child. At that time, I could be said to have all the wind and rain in the family, so my character was also raised to be a bit overbearing. What I wasn’t allowed to do on weekdays, I had to do is recruiting cats and playing with dogs, and destroying porcelain or chinaware were all common things.”

 

Chen Xing looked at the way Gu Lang was caught up in his memories, and could never have imagined that such a gentle and elegant looking young master would have that kind of mischievous past.

 

Gu Lang did not pay attention to Chen Xing and continued, “At that time, my mother and grandmother both favored me and as long as I admitted my faults and acted coquettishly, I would be gently let off. Only my father has always been strict with me. Whenever he found out that I had done something wrong again, he would either give me a spanking and a slap on the butt or make me go to the spirit table of my ancestors to confess.

 

Although I was young at that time, I also had a few feelings of shame, and felt that if I was beaten by my father like this again, I would lose all my face but I couldn’t keep my hands off those things.

 

So, I went to my grandmother’s personal maid and learned that skill. Whenever I did something wrong, I would first go to my father to curry favor with him and immediately after that, even if my father knew about the mistake I made, he couldn’t bear to be overly criticized.”

 

Chen Xing watched as the smile on Gu Lang’s face never went down as he said these words, and even more so, a few moments of light that he could not understand surfaced on his face.

 

Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang must miss those times. After all, to be able to turn into this silent appearance today from a genius, that child must have experienced many things along the way.

 

Thinking of this, Chen Xing’s nose suddenly turned a little sour. He had also been spoiled by his family from a young age before coming here. Even after coming here, he had quickly adapted to the environment and had not suffered much. Completely unlike Gu Lang, who had grown up pampered from a young age, but later had to carry the hatred of his family’s extermination, and still needed to go out to seek for a living at such a young age, it was really too pitiful.

 

Gu Lang didn’t know what Chen Xing was thinking, waiting for him to pull himself out of his memories, looking at his reddened eyes, thinking that his hand was still hurting, he said with him in a warm voice, “It’s not too good for your body for you to labor so hard every day. Why don’t we think of something else together, to lighten your burden a bit?”
