Became a vicious male mother

211

A new dog kennel and cabin have been built outside the yard, which can be seen from the windows of the corridor.

Gu Xinglan gently pushed open the window.

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was cloudless, and cicadas were chirping. The sunlight on my arms was both hot and painful. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen the sun in a long time, but my arms were already sunburned in less than half a minute.

Today, the villa is hosting a welcome dinner for Li Taihe to celebrate the completion of a major project. According to online media, Li Taihe only returned to Wushui from abroad last night and rushed to the ribbon-cutting ceremony after sleeping for less than two hours.

Two hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in my ears.

Before he could even turn around, he was pulled into the room.

The moment the door closed, the two sets of footsteps outside arrived nearby.

With her long hair covering her face and a few strands even getting into her mouth, Gu Xinglan was completely bewildered. She turned her head and said, "Li Hetai, let me go first."

The person behind him remained silent.

The boy was too short to reach him, and Gu Xinglan waited until she was completely impatient, then grabbed Li Hetai by the collar and pulled him back.

"You go back to sleep." Just as I pulled the person back onto the bed, they quickly stood up again.

Li Hetai's hair has grown quite a bit, and his bangs cover his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly.

There were wounds on the corners of his mouth and neck, and his hands were covered in thick calluses.

The other person seemed to be confronting him about something, staring intently at him.

Gu Xinglan felt puzzled by the stare.

What stage of life is Li Hetai at now? He remembers that this person has been receiving private one-on-one tutoring since junior high school.

The reason for the private tutoring was that Lai Ho-Tai had caused a series of incidents at school.

Taking all these factors into account, Gu Xinglan quickly came to a conclusion when she saw Li Hetai covered in injuries.

Now it's time to have private tutoring at home.

“Studying at home is fine too. Your development will always be different from others.” Gu Xinglan said as she went to the bookshelf to find the first-aid kit based on her memory.

Before the box was even opened, it was snatched away by Li Hetai.

"Are you normal?"

A cold voice came from above.

Gu Xinglan was squatting down, and from his angle, he could see Li Hetai's expressionless yet sinister face.

"If I'm not a normal person, am I some kind of ghost?"

He tried to retrieve the first-aid kit, but the other person carried it on their back.

"Tell me, are you Gu Xinglan?"

Li Hetai stood by the table, a few fists' distance from the short knife standing on the table.

He didn't know what Li Hetai had gone through in the past year and a half. Now, the other party's condition was obviously wrong, as if he was about to play hide-and-seek with a knife at any moment.

"I just have longer hair, is it hard for you to recognize me..." Gu Xinglan tucked her slightly longer hair behind her ear.

His face was completely exposed, pale and bloodless from not seeing the sun for so long.

Upon seeing this, Li Hetai first stood still, his posture swaying slightly, and then quickly drew the short knife from the table.

The commotion startled Gu Xinglan.

The blade flashed with light, but it was fleeting. Soon, Li Hetai turned in a different direction, looking menacing.

As soon as the door opened, a faint creaking sound came from outside.

Seeing Li Hetai leave the room without looking back, holding a short knife.

Gu Xinglan quickly followed.

This person inexplicably asked him a bunch of nonsensical questions, and now he's holding a knife and I don't know what he's going to do with it.

The faint sound of old wooden beds colliding could be heard in the passageway.

"System, can you tell me what has happened to Li Hetai in the past year and a half?"

Standing in the middle of the passage, Gu Xinglan was completely bewildered and could only slowly find her way by following the source of the sound.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hetai disappeared.

System: [You don't know, this system doesn't know, nobody knows.]

The creaking sound grew louder and louder. After figuring out the direction, I realized that the sound was coming from the compartment where old items were stored.

That room was the only one that wasn't locked.

The other rooms all had locks, and Gu Xinglan picked one up to examine the keyhole.

This was exactly the same as what he had seen when he was let out of the underground to get some fresh air and wander around; all the locks seemed to be held by the same key.

The further in you go, the louder the noise becomes.

He said things like "He's coming soon," "He's starving," "We can't get together tonight," and "Let's go outside."

The suppressed cries were so alluring that Gu Xinglan became somewhat angry.

Is that cubicle where they have affairs? The book he wants to read is still in there!

Li Yuechang had previously sent him a large number of books, but since there was no bookshelf for him to put them on, he placed them in this only unlocked room.

Gu Xinglan took the pebbles from the potted plant without hesitation, and was about to disturb it.

The door was closed, but not tightly. The two people inside seemed to be in a hurry when they went in, and there were still corners of their clothes stuck under the door.

With a loud bang, the cobblestones slammed the door open, startling the person inside who first screamed, followed by the sound of clothes rustling.

When the man inside came out pulling up his pants to peek...

Gu Xinglan had already entered another passage.

Following this road will lead you to the place where Li Hetai usually trains.

He had only been hiding for a short while when he saw two dark figures hurriedly pass by.

I couldn't see clearly, but they were definitely some of the servants in the villa.

Since Li Taihe doesn't come back often, the butler naturally can't take care of everything.

This room used to be a place to store wine. The wine shelves have been removed and replaced with bookshelves. Unlike before, there is now a wooden bed and a sofa inside.

A curtain hangs by the window.

The taste was so stale that Gu Xinglan looked at the well-preserved books and felt like crying.

Unfortunately, he is currently living under someone else's roof and has important matters to attend to, so he cannot take these treasures with him when he leaves.

With a "whoosh," the curtains opened, and a dark figure descended from the sky.

It was Li Hetai, holding a knife in his backhand, hiding inside the window, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"..."

"Are you... insane? Or am I insane?"

Gu Xinglan raised his hand and pinched the back of the knife standing upright. The next second, the short knife was in his hand.

Li Hetai jumped straight down.

A huge black shadow fell from the sky. Gu Xinglan couldn't avoid it in time and was forced to fall into the nearest sofa.

He was pinned down, and the dagger slipped into the gap in the sofa.

Li Hetai was breathing rapidly, his hands gripping the armrests tightly. They were so close that Gu Xinglan could see the emotions in his eyes: anger, unease, and even a hint of inexplicable dependence, the source of which was unknown.

The other party was like a dilapidated boat that had found a lighthouse, paddling incessantly toward the light before it was about to sink.

Gu Xinglan did not struggle and was trapped inside the sofa in an awkward position.

"Li Hetai, what's wrong with you? What have you been through in the past year and a half?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other person's lips trembled slightly, as if they wanted to say something. Their fingers moved from the armrest to Gu Xinglan's shoulder and gripped it tightly, so tightly that they almost dug into her flesh.

Gu Xinglan frowned, but showed no sign of pain on her face. Instead, she raised her hand and gently patted the other person's arm.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you, but you should know that no matter what happens, I will be here to listen to you.”

His state of being possessed by demons is both eerie and heartbreaking.

He was inexplicably receiving time from Li Hetai every day underground, the length of which was perhaps determined by the other party's emotional fluctuations.

Right now, his survival time has increased by three hours.

Li Hetai's eyes flickered, but he still didn't completely let go of her hand.

Gu Xinglan continued softly, "Do you remember the first time we met? You were like this back then, unwilling to talk and unwilling to trust anyone. But later, you slowly learned to trust me, didn't you?"

Although there is an element of embellishment, he does need to ensure that Leong Hoi Tai maintains a positive mindset.

What if the other person goes crazy before they even inherit the family fortune? Who can they reason with then?

Now, picking up his old profession again, Gu Xinglan thought this was the only thing he could do.

“I want to…eat your cooking.” Li Hetai lowered his head, his voice hoarse.

rice?

All his cheats were taken away by the administrator, including skill cards and various healing buffs.

Gu Xinglan smiled slightly and gently brushed aside Li Hetai's bangs: "Shall we go out to eat?"

I'll get a haircut and buy some clothes.

The stroking motion was as light as a feather.

The boy's gaze softened, and he deflated like a punctured balloon, closing his eyes tightly and slumping onto the sofa, his voice barely audible: "...Okay."
