7.35 - It's time to give up (End)

　　A hint of darkness flashed across Gu Heng's eyes, and he avoided the boy's pure gaze. Just as he was about to stand up, Shen Mian suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of him, and their bodies were instantly pressed together.

　　The child looked at him with bright eyes and said as a matter of course: "I hate you, but I also like you, is that not okay?"

　　Gu Heng frowned slightly. Only his brother, who had always been unruly and arrogant, could make such a far-fetched statement with confidence and as if it was natural.

　　Shen Mian asked again: "Did you remember me when you did those things?"

　　Gu Heng said in a deep voice: "No." If he had remembered everything at that time, he would never allow himself to hurt him in the slightest. How could he bear to do that?

　　Shen Mian curled his lips quietly, then quickly put away his smile, and said with a straight face: "Then it has nothing to do with Shen Mingcheng, this is all Gu Heng's fault."

　　Gu Heng was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Shen Mingcheng is me, and Gu Heng is also me."

　　Shen Mian hummed, leaned his head gently on the man's shoulder, and whispered: "I know, I know it very well, maybe even better than my brother. In my brother's heart, nothing is more important than Shen Mingxuan, so you would rather get hurt than hurt me, right?"

　　Gu Heng lowered his eyes and looked at him, nodding slightly.

　　Shen Mian said: "But Gu Heng is different. He has a wound in his heart, and perhaps it will never heal in this lifetime. So he is colder, more cruel, and unscrupulous than others. Rather than saying that I hate him, I'd rather say that I'm afraid of that person."

　　Gu Heng was slightly startled, and suddenly exerted force with his strong arms to hold the boy's soft body tightly in his arms.

　　Shen Mian patted his back gently as if to comfort him, and said, "Brother, let's reconcile. Let's forget all the unpleasant things and get along well in the future, okay?"

　　Gu Heng put his arms around him, and the water drops from the boy's hair fell into his palm, exuding a faint fragrance. The uneasiness between his brows faded a little, but he suddenly frowned and asked, "If Fu Xing really died at that time, would you still forgive me?"

　　Shen Mian was stunned for a moment, and replied: "He is still alive after all."

　　"If he died, would you hate me?" Gu Heng held his face, his eyes dimmed, and said softly: "Mingxuan, in your heart, is Fu Xing more important than your brother?"

　　The handsome man's eyebrows were full of tenderness. Even though they looked different, or even from another world, this man was indeed Shen Mingcheng, the brother who warmed his feet in the cold winter, hugged him to sleep, obeyed him in every way, and doted on him. This was the first time that Shen Mian deeply felt that beneath the outstanding appearance, the soul attracted him even more.

　　Shen Mian said: "I can't answer you about something that hasn't happened, but I won't let that happen. I hope you are all well."

　　Gu Heng met his beautiful peach blossom eyes. His black pupils were as bright and dazzling as crushed stardust, and his fair and clean face was filled with a stubbornness and strength that was unfamiliar to him.

　　The child finally grew up, becoming more proud and beautiful.

　　Gu Heng can do whatever it takes to be a bad guy, but Shen Mingcheng can't do that. He can't let his brother be sad. If he attacks Fu Xing, the kid will hate him.
