Chapter Ch96.1 - Side Story (5) - He Didn’t Want Love Anymore, He Only Wanted Gu Xi.
\n
After they graduated, Gu Xi became extremely busy. Although he was still together with Shen Jiaze, they seemed to only be able to meet at night.
Gu Xi felt really tired when he got home, yet Shen Jiaze still pestered him. He simply wanted to get an early rest.
Shen Jiaze felt distressed for him, thus he didn’t mess with Gu Xi much. Most of the time, they only kissed and hugged each other to sleep.
Gu Xi joined the Gu Family Group. He worked really hard because he wanted to achieve success and to prove himself to his father.
Why was he in such a hurry?
The reason was that he wanted to come out of the closet. He wanted to start his future with Shen Jiaze.
Gu Xi wanted to live up to his father’s expectations by working hard to take over the Gu Family’s responsibilities. By doing so, he wished that his parents would be able to accept things easier when he confessed later.
With that in mind, Gu Xi gave up his hobbies and everything he had studied for years. Instead, he steadfastly did the dull, tedious, and unenjoyable things in the company.
But he wasn’t troubled nor tired, he was full of energy.
As long as he came home and saw Shen Jiaze, he felt that anything he had done was worth it.
Shen Jiaze knew that Gu Xi was tired, thus he helped him with tidying this and that and even helped him a lot with his work.
Even though Shen Jiaze hadn’t entered the business world, his environment was quite connected to it, which instinctively gave him talents in these fields.
During this time, Gu Xi still felt completely content even though it was exhausting. He felt happy because he was doing this to plan their future together.
Until they moved house for the first time.
Shen Jiaze was worried because Gu Xi had to be stuck in a traffic jam for nearly an hour before he could get to the company every morning. Hence, he suggested that they move to a place near Gu Xi’s company.
Gu Xi said, “Then you’ll be the one who would be late for school.”
Shen Jiaze replied, “I’m not in a hurry to go to school, what are you worried about?”
Shen Jiaze insisted that they move. He even took the initiative to choose a house and hastily clean it up. Gu Xi could only comply with him after the other had done that much.
Gu Xi was busy with work, so Shen Jiaze handled most of the move.
Shen Jiaze’s ‘Great Young Master’ temperament had been disciplined a lot by Gu Xi in the past two years that most of them had nearly vanished away.
Although he was still stubborn and liked to mess things up, Shen Jiaze could be himself and do anything in front of Gu Xi.
He carefully tidied up their memories in these two years filled with sweetness and warmth. The two years seemed to be completely filled with all the wonderful things.
Shen Jiaze accidentally found a photo album while moving one of the boxes.
He had never seen it before, and he was sure that it was not his, so it must be Gu Xi’s.
He opened the album happily, with high expectations, wanting to see Gu Xi’s photos.
Once Shen Jiaze opened the album, he saw a photo of a familiar, yet somewhat unknown little fatty.
One could slightly notice that he was Gu Xi from the boy’s facial features, but his chubby cheeks and plump arms were…
Shen Jiaze chuckled, feeling amused by the fair-skinned little fatty in the photo.\nT/N: Yo, yo, have you seen how many times I break down and cry throughout the chapter… Hahaha…
