       Nie family's house is located in a relatively remote area of ​​B city. Although it's remote, that doesn't mean that the price of land in this area is cheap. On the contrary, those who are able to live in this area have wealth and status, it's a famous private luxury garden area. 

　　The car slowly entered the gate of the villa, the servants and housemaids welcome them. Although the efficacy of the drug in Gu Bai's body has receded, the sequelae is still there. The whole person is limp without the slightest bit of strength, there's no way to go back to the room by himself.
　　Seeing Nie Qingcang minding his own business, not caring that he wants to get off the car, Gu Bai once again activate his inner potential to cling on to the other person's arm tightly, eyes bulge with pity, pleading for support.
　　"...damn annoying!"

　　Nie Qingcang frowned and his expression was fierce, but he still gestured for the servants to withdraw and reached out to pick him up and send him back to the room.
　　However, he felt the boy softly leaning in his embrace. The kind of intimate feeling of being relied on made him feel inexplicably good.
　　He remember the moment when Lu Rongqing first came to Nie family's house when he was a child. Although he was reticent, he was also very clever and obedient, but who knew he would grow up to become like this!
　　Putting him on the bed, Nie Qincang looked at his suit that was dampened by the youth's sweat and felt kind of uncomfortable. He couldn't help but secretly feel self-inflicted.
　　He shrugged off his coat, took the handkerchief handed by the servant next to him and wiped his hands. He stared at Gu Bai's pale little face, impatiently huffed and turned the lights off on his way out.
　　The bright lights were turned off, and everything in the room became engulfed in darkness. Gu Bai looked at Nie Qingcang's departing back and quickly called out, “Brother, wait!”
　　Nie Qingcang, who was preparing to leave, heard his panicked cry and impatiently turned around. He turned on the lights again and snapped “What's the matter again.....”
　　What's up? Of course, to continue holding on to your golden thighs! Gu Bai secretly said in his heart.

　　However, there was a scared look on his face, and a hint of fear and pleading in the tone of his voice as he said to the man in front of the door:"Brother, I'm afraid of the dark. Can you accompany me for a while..."
　　"You are afraid of the dark?"
　　Nie Qingcang widened his eyes and couldn't believe it. The whole room is full of various unconventional posters, skulls and so on, a gloomy person like him is afraid of darkness? What kind of trick does this guy want to play again!
　　Vigilantly looked at the pleading Gu Bai and stared at his pure eyes for a while. The iron mental defense was successfully defeated by the youth's wet pleading eyes.
　　He vexedly took a few breaths, then turned back to the bed and roughly pulled the quilt over to cover Gu Bai, ruthlessly said, "Really bothersome! Hurry up and sleep..."
　　"Thank you brother..."
　　The purpose was achieved. Gu Bai obediently nodded his head, did a little flattery, and then grabbed the bedding that was as soft as a cloud. His head lied on the silky pillows and his eyes narrowed, enjoying the feel of lightly rubbing his cheek on it.
　　The little action made Nie Qingcang slightly startled, his heart stirred. Didn't expect that when this guy is docile and obedient, he's still quit lovable, of course, you must ignore the smokey makeup on his face.
　　"You're not allowed to do this sort of makeup in the future. It's really ugly. These things in the room, tomorrow someone will pack it up. Afraid of the dark but still make the room look like a haunted house... What are your eyes wide open for, quickly close it. I have work later on, don't have time to accompany you!"
　　Facing the boy's wide open eyes, Nie Qingcang frowned and chided, by the work of gods and demons, he pinched the corner of the quilt.
　　When the hand retracted, the fingertips accidentally brushed across Gu Bai's cheeks. His eyes jittered a bit. The feel of the creamy skin is very wonderful, making people reluctant to let go.
         Gu Bai doesn't know what he's feeling in his heart, seeing his dark expression, he doesn't plan to continue the brotherly play. Later, he will slowly change his impression. Right now he is physically weak and exhausted.

　　Facing Nie Qingcang, he smiled admiringly and said, “Brother, Good Night,” and then he peacefully closed his eyes and rushed to sleep. He will rest up first and continue his tasks tomorrow.
　　When he fell asleep, Nie Qingcang left the room and he unconsciously tiptoed, made absolutely no noise to wake up the person in bed.
　　At the door, he saw the boy breathing softly, looking beautiful in his sleep. The corner of his mouth unknowingly lifted.
　　If Lu Rongqing can always be so obedient, that would be good, like when he was a child and just came to Nie family.
　　One night passed and the next morning came.
　　Gu Bai had a good night's sleep, the most peaceful sleep he ever had.
　　Nie family is a rich and powerful giant. The quality of life at home isn't something that ordinary people get to enjoy. The soft bed is nothing like the hard bed of his previous small rental house. He slept comfortably.
　　He got up from the bed and stood in front of the wardrobe after bathing, staring at the wardrobe full of clothes that are either gaudy or bizarre. He selected for nearly half a day and with difficulty finally found a slightly normal T-shirt and jeans to wear before going down to eat breakfast.
　　Nie Qingcang who was eating paused when he saw Gu Bai's face. According to Lu Rongqing's daily routine, it's absolutely impossible to get up so early.
　　"Brother, morning!"
　　Gu Bai ignored the surprise on Nie Qingcang’s face. He gave a polite greeting and then began to eat opposite him. The movement was slow and elegant.
　　He grew up in the orphanage and naturally didn't have manners of the wealthy, but after obtaining the original host's memory, it's not a problem, The Nie family's rules are very strict, as the master of Nie family, even if Lu Rongqing's personality is strange, he still learned etiquette and so on.
　　Nie Qingcang faintly nodded his head and looked as if he was eating seriously. In fact, the corner of his eye was focused on Gu Bai.
　　Seeing the teen who didn't like to eat breakfast have such a good appetite and happy face.
　　It's just eating, what's there to be happy about?
　　Nie Qingcang bowed his head and groaned in his heart, but suddenly he felt that today's breakfast was really delicious.
　　Almost done eating, when Gu Bai got up and politely bid farewell to go to school, he also followed by putting down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth clean and said:
　　"Wait, I'm not busy today. I'll send you out......"
　　After last night's experience and seeing a different side of the unlikable boy, he suddenly changed a bit. Furthermore, he doesn't feel at ease. As the saying goes, the rivers and mountains may change, but not one's essential nature, and Lu Rongqing's credibility isn't high.
　　"Really? Thank you!"
　　The golden thigh took the initiative to send him out, Gu Bai of course immediately nodded and agreed, blinking, his face showing a surprise expression.
　　Nie Qingcang was stunned by his expression. His mother died early and his father was usually too busy. Other than auntie Lu, in his childhood, he rarely felt the joy of affection.
　　This feeling of being close and respected by his younger brother felt very good. Although he and Lu Rongqing have no blood relationship. In fact, the only reason for taking care of Lu Rongqing is because of auntie Lu.
　　The two went out together and got on the car. On the way, Gu Bai kept thinking about what to do next for his task, he didn't speak. Nie Qingcang also rarely got along with Lu Rongqing. Basically, there wasn't any common topic and the atmosphere was very silent.
　　For a long time, Nie Qingcang stared blankly at the youth in the rear view mirror, can't help but say "What are you thinking about it? Why don't you talk..."
　　Golden thigh's pride is huge, he immediately pulled back his thoughts about Gu Bai.
　　He heared Nie Qingcang's words and wanted to talk to him more to build a closer relationship, but in the story, Nie Qingcang is a very calm and serious person with a rather bad temper.
　　In Lu Rongqing's memory, the picture of getting along with Nie Qingcang is very pitiful. A while later, he still couldn't find a topic to chat with him. Once he talk it's bound to be embarrassing!
　　However, golden thigh already spoke, if he doesn't respond he's too insensible, so Gu Bai made a pitiful expression.
　　"... brother, I made a mistake yesterday. I'm afraid that you're still mad at me..."
　　Nie Qingcang was stunned by his straightforward and pitiful look. His facial expression was a bit stiff and a little funny. When did this guy became enlightened, even know to be scared.
　　He wanted to reprimand with a few words but seeing Gu Bai's little pitiful eyes, Nie Qingcang restrained himself.
　　He wanted to talk to Gu Bai, but he didn't know what to say. Finally, he only uttered a sentence saying "If you know that I'm angry, then be more obedient next time!" Then he stopped talking.
　　"I know, brother." 
　　Gu Bai smiled, nodded his head and promised, but he didn't say much. It's better to talk less and make less mistakes, he can't change his impression in a rush. Can't overdo it, otherwise Nie Qingcang will doubt him, he's not a fool.
　　Regardless of how many points Nie Qingcang's impression of him is, as long as Nie Qingcang doesn't hate him, then it's fine. The pressing matter at the moment, he should think about how to welcome that evil woman Wu Zhenzhen's plan!

　　Currently, the story's development is almost there. Wu Zhenzhen with the advantage of rebirth, already basically finished off the illegitimate daughter. The illegitimate daughter with a broken reputation will soon be kicked out of the house by her.
　　Therefore, Wu Zhenzhen have now set her targets on the original host. According to the development of the plot, the man Wu Zhenzhen found to get close to the original host is about to appear. What should he do?
　　He can't directly avoid it. Wu Zhenzhen harbours intense hatred toward the original host. Even without Nan Lichen, there will still be others. If he can't distinguish between enemy and friend, it will be even more dangerous. How about he beat her at her own game.....
