10 min read2,557 words

“I don’t have much time left in this world…” Gu Han burnt incense on his own burial mound.

Gu Han’s independent development of the giant land grand project was truly a premature advance that once Madame Gu heard of it, she couldn’t sit still and wanted to talk to her son.

Madame Gu came from an illustrious family background and she was the first one to attend the world’s Le Bal des Débutantes at the age of 16. Thus, even though time and tide wait for no man [1] , she still looked as graceful and noble as before.

“Ma, why are you coming here?” Gu Han glanced at the task’s timer; only 18 minutes left.

Upon seeing that he was carrying his suit jacket, his tie was not neat and his collar was in disorder, Madame Gu frowned slightly? “What with this helter-skelter look? Tidy up your clothing and go have a meal with me.”

“Ma, you wait first…” Gu Han called out to the old lady, “Secretary Wang, come here and help [2] my mother first.”

Madame Gu was confused. “This child, what are you trying to do?”

Gu Han knew that the task would be completely fall through as soon as he was dragged away by his mother! He had lost face with 22 people! This life’s shameless quota was no less than one old lady! He might as well do it by hook or by brook. After saying it; just ran. It’s too late to run anyway, he couldn’t lose face in vain!

He slowly moved back two steps closer to the car door, “Ma, you stand firm and don’t be afraid. I insist on moving forward in my life just to meet Pei Xian, just to say I love you to Xianxian! I have drowned in the water-like gentle feeling of Pei Xian and my love for him will remain faithful and unyielding until I die!!”

“…” Madame Gu seemed as though she was listening to an alien.

Gu Han took the opportunity to pull open the door and start the car before he stepped on the accelerator. The tungsten iron colored Cullinan was worthy of the title of the strongest SUV on the ground. Ignoring the constant buffer belt of the basement, he rushed all the way up the slope and rushed out.

Facing the son who drove away after throwing bombs, Madame Gu was livid and disheveled by the wind. “My son has grown up and his wings have spread; it’s time to stew [3] by the end of the year!”

Gu Han knew his mother’s temper. She’s not the kind of old lady who would hotly pursue and fiercely attack; that was too low. As long as he coaxed his mother well, she would be too excited for him to have a little boyfriend; what a big deal! Boss Gu’s self-comfort function was fully open.

It was the rush hour again. The broad SUV went through the streets and alleys and like a police-bandit movie, he wildly headed over the house’s entrance with great difficulty. The task time left only two minutes!

When the old butler opened the door, he saw Gu Han panting as he was running like a wild dog sprinting and the old butler couldn’t help sighing with feeling; since Young Master Pei came, their Young Master had become more and more energetic!

Gu Han ran to the living room and stopped in urgency. “Uncle Lin, where’s Pei Xian?”

“Young Master Pei is upstairs…”

Before Uncle Lin had finished, Gu Han ‘whoosh’ disappeared at the end of the stairs.

“Young Master Pei’s stomach is not comfortable. He took medicine and went to rest.” The old butler who spoke to the air smiled as he shook his head. “Look at this clinginess; Young Master truly can’t live without Young Master Pei for a minute. The feelings of the young people are very good.”

Pei Xian had felt much better after taking stomach medicine. He didn’t want to eat dinner, but he was afraid that he would be too hungry and bothered others. So he ate a little bit of rice porridge. As a result, his stomach brewed storms on rivers and seas [4] , and he ran into the bathroom to vomit in the washbasin.

The task time was less than a minute as Gu Han stepped into Pei Xian’s bedroom but saw no one! All of a sudden, he heard the rustle of water coming from the bathroom and he turned around before he ran in.

Gu Han opened the bathroom door and shouted, “Pei Xian!”

Pei Xian, who was lying in front of the washbasin, was shocked. He forgot to vomit reflexively and stared at the other person with wide eyes.

Top Student Gu never forgot his words and took a deep breath to hold the mighty energy of Exploding Dantian, “I, Gu Han, give up treatment (of illness) unconditionally to love Pei Xian until the end of my life! My heartbeat tells me that every second I love Pei Xian and only he can make me crazy for love! For the rest of this life, I, Gu Han will always love, protect and take good care of Pei Xian! Xianxian is the stop scenery that I fell in love with in this life, my life’s most beautiful season and only with him can I usher in the best years! I insist on moving forward in my life just to meet Pei Xian, just to say I love you to Xianxian! I have drowned in the water-like gentle feeling of Pei Xian and my love for him will remain faithful and unyielding until I die!”

The “concern and care for villain’s IQ system” prompted task

[ Task Countdown: 00:00:04 The host successfully completed the system task and obtained reward of two units of system energy. Current system energy is 2. It’s everyone’s duty to take good care of Xianxian! ]

“…” Pei Xian was dumbfounded. Once his crashed brain restarted, it suddenly stimulated the feeling of being astonished to vomit and he retched towards the washbasin; the whole afternoon’s suffering finally came out in a mess.

Gu Han held the door frame as he watched Pei Xian vomited. His eyes were full of tears as he looked down and said: “I also think it’s disgusting. But-but you don’t have to react so much, though? To go as far as to feel nausea and vomit?”

Pei Xian felt as though his soul was sober and calm after vomiting and all kinds of discomfort were swept away, which was really refreshing!

He slowly washed his face; washed away the filth before he was surprised to find that Boss Gu, who broke in in full of fury had snuck away without him noticed, running without a trace.

“For the rest of this life, I, Gu Han will always love, protect and take good care of Pei Xian! Give up treatment unconditionally to love Pei Xian until the end of my life…” Pei Xian repeated in a low voice. Suddenly, he felt a little hot on his face. He quickly took the cold palm of his hands and covered his burning face for a while. However, the more he covered it, the hotter it became and the faster it burned. Pei little quail ran away and got back to bed with his tail between his legs.

He was lying in bed for a long time but could not calm down. He hugged the quilt, covered his face and rolled around. In his last life, some people hated him, some people resented him, some people were afraid so no one not loved him. The praises he had heard were all about his privileges, money and power.

Regardless of whether the mentally retarded villain was suffering from a disease [5] or not, Pei Xian had a kind of inexplicable joy. There was a small vine wriggling and twisting, squeaking and twisting, twining around his heart; he felt itchy.

Pei Xian lay on the bed and tucked his head under the pillow as he ate his fingers. This were the signs of his nervousness and excitement. For the first time in his life, he was being praised. It was so much pleasurable than those billions and billions worth of business!

However, it was impolite not to reciprocate and he didn’t even say thank you when he was praised by the other man. Considering Gu Han’s desperate expression, he decided to do something for the world’s first pleasingly affectionate Boss Gu, otherwise it would be very rude of him!

Pei Xian, who did not do manual work but made a profit from his job, took out his bank card and transferred 20000 yuan to Gu Han with a thank-you message attachment.

Gu Han locked the door and swiveled around the room before he closed his eyes and crashed into the wall. Even if it was disgraceful, his face could repair itself anyway.

The problem was that when a person heard this kind of lover’s honeyed words, shouldn’t he be surprised and say “hateful” [6] shyly and timidly? Did the little quail just throw up? Vomit? What did it mean? What ailment? What operation?

He, who was brilliantly an outstanding person and a highly eligible bachelor of outstanding scope couldn’t made people cry with his two hundred words of hypocritical flattery but actually disgusted people? Who believes it?! Do you guys believe it?

Gu Han doubted life against the wall and his mobile phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that he somehow received a transfer of 20000 yuan? What was this? Then a message came right after:

[ Mr. Gu, thank you for your support for my work. I have received your praise. I have transferred 20000 yuan to express my heart. ]

This… Maybe it’s the legendary five star feedback [7] ?

Fcuk! Take my money and give it back to me?

Pretty good, Pei Xian! You’re awesome! You have guts! You are my daddy!!

Boss Gu exploded on the spot!

He, Gu Han, a reborn villain with a system attached to him, ever since he met Pei Xian, it seemed like martial arts experts exchanging blows; the other side suddenly took out a machine gun from his crotch and instantly gave him one second! What with this damn plot?!

He was really… really a miserable man.

Boss Gu tossed and turned all night. When he got up in the morning, he decided to take out the boss’s imposing manner. He wanted to give the little quail some color [8] to see!

There were thick clouds over the breakfast table. Gu Han’s face was longer than a donkey’s and his face was full of the words: the boss is angry and needs to be coaxed.

Meanwhile, Pei Xian had been hungry all night and focused on eating shrimp dumplings, leaf-lard buns, steamed dumplings, wonton and Chinese-style breakfast pastries were his favorite. What? The boss is angry? Um… Who is the boss?

Gu Han pretended to cough. Sighing, Uncle Lin brought him three bowls of loquat and snow pear soup. Pei Xian’s head still hadn’t been lifted from the bowl.

“30 million for such a thing, I’m pissed off!” Gu Han bounced to the door like a puffer fish. Perhaps when he’s dead, Pei Xian would eat barbecue at his grave. Truly a heartless wild little quail, but still couldn’t throw him damn away!

“Mr. Gu!” Seeing Gu Han was going out soon, Pei Xian finally found his professionalism and ran briskly.

After following the same pattern of mechanical arms around the waist and face nuzzling, he found that Gu Han’s under eyes were black, “Mr. Gu, if you have something to worry about, don’t hold it in your heart, it will affect your sleep.”

Gu Han felt invigorating all over his body. Humph! Little quail just can’t get used to it. Just give you a bit of look and naturally you will know how to do things. Now you know who is the Daddy!

“Well, I don’t charge for the first counseling. I can treat it better [zhì yù], would you like to try it?” Pei Xian raised his small face and was very serious about soliciting business.

“…” Gu Han’s eyes were filled with tears. “You’re treating melancholy [zhì yù]. You’ve quickly treated my depression, let go!”

He pulled Pei Xian off, who was still hanging around his neck and walked out of the door without looking back.

“Sigh, it’s hard to earn money.” Pei Xian took out his mobile phone and changed Gu Han’s remarks from “the world’s first pleasingly affectionate” to “the world’s first Zhou the exploiter”.

In the morning rush hour traffic, Gu Han opened the mailbox to check the itinerary information sent by the assistant, and found out a cruel fact in his absence of mind that he was a purebred beauty-con [9] dog. He was a purebred beauty-con dog who especially ate Pei Xian’s little egg-face.

After a careful look, Pei Xian was unlike Xiao Yuhang. He was softer and warmer than Xiao Yuhang, only his taut face was colder and more noble. Apart from his personality, he looked more high level than Xiao Yuhang as a whole.

Boss Gu put his hand on his chest. “Gu Han, pull yourself together. It’s just a nice human skin, that’s all.”

“Woof, woof, woof!” He heard a sharp-pointed laugh from the seal of his heart.

In order to divert his attention, Gu Han opened his circle of friends and suddenly found that Xiao Yuhang, who hadn’t developed a circle of friends for eight hundred years , unexpectedly deigned to descend his nobleness and airborne his circle of friends.

There was not a word but a picture with ulterior motives. In late autumn of B city, the crimson maple leaves were dried and curled. The whole picture was covered by leaves and only showed an airport terminal in one corner.

That’s right. He was telling Gu Han: This Immortal has descend to the world, so comes quickly to worship. Ohohohoho…..

“Heh!” Gu Han sneered as if thinking of something, rubbed his finger against the screen and liked the post in extreme indifference.

Hardly have one gourd been pushed under water when another bobs up [10] . Almost at the same time Boss Gu received a call from his mother, ah! What a wonderful morning!

Madame Gu simply said: “take your little boyfriend back to the old house at the weekend. If you dare not, humph! At the end of the year, you stew yourself and bring him home!”

Boss Gu dared not resist at all. He even repeatedly answered with kowtows. Then he laid on the car seat as if he had lived without love and wanted to die.
