Wanting to become the sharpest blade in Gu Xiao's hand!

"Gu Yun," Gu Xiao said, his voice betraying no emotion, "you've got a lot of nerve."

Gu Xiao wasn't actually all that angry. The values in this world were all bizarre.

The relationships between men and women, alphas and omegas, were a complete mess-

Only betas were relatively proper.

But setting his sights on him? He really had a death wish.

"Do I?" Gu Yun lay back on the bed and looked at the dim yellow pendant light, like a setting sun that might fall onto him at any moment. "Has no one ever said anything like that to you?"

Gu Xiao said coldly, "No."

That answer pleased Gu Yun greatly, and he even let out a low laugh.

Gu Xiao glanced down at himself and fastened his bathrobe before walking over to Gu Yun.

"Who sent you?"

Gu Yun raised his head slightly and gazed into Gu Xiao's eyes.

"No one sent me. I waited for you at T-C for so long, and you finally showed up," Gu Yun raised a hand, opening it to look at his palm. "But I still failed. I never expected you could use my pheromones as an antidote."

So Gu Yun himself wanted revenge on him.

"At your age..." Gu Xiao thought about how old Gu Yun was and said seriously, "you should be studying hard. What's the point of going to T-C every day?"

Hearing that, Gu Yun couldn't help letting out another snort of laughter. "What, are you encouraging me to study? Hearing that from your mouth is really funny."

"Are you acting so recklessly because you think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Gu Yun said cheerfully, "Yes. I'm still valuable to you, so you won't let anything happen to me. I'm your second life, after all~"

This little mad dog!

"Are you really not going to give it a try?" Even Gu Yun's voice seemed to carry a seductive lure.

Gu Xiao's voice sank. "Although I won't kill you, Gu Yun, I'll make you wish you could live and unable to die!"

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Yun let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood.

That head of pink hair grew even dirtier.

Gu Yun struggled in pain, wiped haphazardly with the back of his hand, and coughed a few times, laughing brazenly. "Is this the only trick you've got?"

"This trick is more than enough to deal with you."

That mouth of Gu Yun's was truly annoying.

He watched that mouth opening and closing, and the little tip of tongue it exposed.

If he did something else, Gu Yun would probably quiet down.

Unable to speak, he would be even better suited to becoming his shadow.

Sensing Gu Xiao's intent to kill him, Gu Yun's smile grew wider and wider.

"Big brother, I know how I'll end up. Either way, I'll die. Being able to die at your hands would make me very happy, and very blessed."

Gu Xiao instantly withdrew his mental power.

That's a little disgusting.

"Have you gone soft?"

Gu Xiao said, "No. I just don't want a dead body in my place."

For some reason, that struck Gu Yun as funny again, and he laughed so hard he uncontrollably spat out several more mouthfuls of blood.

Gu Xiao watched him coldly and speechlessly, not knowing what on earth was going through his head.

"You demanded that your Maserati be destroyed because it was contaminated with my pheromones," Gu Yun asked with a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Now that my blood has stained this house, are you planning to burn the whole place clean?"

This lunatic was provoking him with a very clumsy goad.

"Once I've thrown you out, I'll have this place renovated."

Gu Yun sighed softly. "Brother, I actually wanted to see you just to give you a present. I couldn't attend your birthday, so I'd like you to accept my gift."

"There's no need to accept a gift that isn't given on the birthday itself," Gu Xiao said coldly. "I don't need it."

In any case, whatever this thing gave him couldn't possibly be anything proper.

"Brother, you've really changed so much," Gu Yun couldn't help remarking. "Before this, how could you possibly have listened to me talk this much? It's fine. If you don't want my gift, I've already gotten almost everything I wanted anyway."

His birthday and Gu Xiao's fell on the same day.

The same date of birth, yet utterly different lives.

On Gu Yun's eighteenth birthday, he was still locked inside a vast, empty sanatorium.

This place was the sanatorium affiliated with Aisili Noble Academy.

One wall apart, two different lives.

On his birthday, he hadn't even had a cake, only a savage beating.

Because he had wanted to go outside.

He knew that next door was Gu Xiao's birthday banquet.

But he couldn't get through that school's gates. He had used a few tricks, bribed the gatekeeper, and successfully escaped from the sanatorium.

He wasn't ill, yet they said he was mentally ill.

Fine, then let him be mentally unwell.

How could falling for someone he ought to hate not count as being mentally unwell?

Fortunately, though, he had secured a legitimate identity for himself.

He had become "Gu Yun," the son of Gu Xiao's butler.

But no one dared casually kill him anymore.

What more was there to be dissatisfied with?

No, he wanted more!

"That look in your eyes is truly disgusting." Since he couldn't pry anything out of Gu Yun's mouth, there was no need to waste any more time.

The freesia fragrance in the air repulsed him even more.

Gu Xiao didn't like this scent.

"Are you just going to leave me here like this?"

Gu Xiao turned back and gave Gu Yun a faint smile. "No. Someone will come and take very good care of you."

There was no need for him to handle something like this personally.

Filthy.

The identity of "Gu Xiao" really was excellent, allowing him to suppress the malice coming from every direction at any time.

Power was truly mesmerizing.

With a thud, Gu Yun fell off the bed.

He struggled to get up, his body swaying precariously.

His pink hair was already tangled, and bloodstains he couldn't wipe away lingered around his mouth. His pink shirt hung loosely, stained with red wine and fresh blood as well.

Utterly bedraggled, Gu Yun staggered, trying to get closer to him.

"Gu Xiao," Gu Yun called him directly by name, staring stubbornly at him. "Let me stay by your side. I'll become your sharpest blade!"

Gu Xiao took two steps back, instantly putting distance between himself and Gu Yun.

He surveyed Gu Yun, who looked little different from an apocalypse beggar, and tugged at the corner of his mouth. "You? Gu Yun, you don't have that kind of ability."

The person who could enter and leave the dormitory building freely and had even erased Lin Qi's memories did have some skills.

As for Gu Yun... what could this young man of only eighteen do?

"I do." With a burst of strength from who knew where, Gu Yun threw himself bodily onto Gu Xiao. "Please, let me stay by your side."

Gu Xiao's bathrobe was instantly stained with the filth on Gu Yun.

His expression darkened in an instant.

"Gu! Yun!" Gu Xiao gritted his teeth. "You have a death wish!"
