Chapter 86: Secrets in the Small Car
“Gu Tang, lend me your thigh to hug for a second!”
If he weren’t afraid of getting beaten up by Gu Tang’s father and older brother in turn, Tan Mian would have happily thrown himself around Gu Tang’s leg.
A vein popped at Zhou Ze’s temple. “Tan Mian, control yourself.”
“Can you believe it? My roommate is actually a super-rich second-generation heir! I saw it on the trending searches before—Gu Tang is that one who was raised by the Gu family but is actually the young master of the Yu family, the real-life version of a wealthy heir!”
Tan Mian was so excited he was practically flailing.
Gu Tang felt a little embarrassed. “It’s not that exaggerated…”
“How is it exaggerated? I think the trending searches actually understated it.”
Tan Mian clasped his hands to his chest. “Getting to have dinner with the presidents of both the Gu and Yu corporations—if I told people that, I could brag about it for the rest of my life!”
Gu Tang laughed.
Were Tan Mian and Zhu Xu really not long-lost brothers from different parents?
Their personalities were way too alike.
President Gu and his elder brother said they wanted to treat his classmates to dinner. Gu Tang had originally worried his roommates would feel uncomfortable, but judging from things now, Tan Mian had adapted perfectly well, and Zhou Ze looked quite natural too.
The three of them were chatting when Gu Quan and Yu Xiao walked into the private dining room one after the other.
The two CEOs had probably just stepped out to deal with some business. Their expressions were a little grim.
The cheerful atmosphere in the room instantly changed.
Zhou Ze and Tan Mian both became noticeably more restrained than before, no longer daring to talk so loudly.
To ease the tension, Gu Tang passed them the menu. “Take a look and see what you want to eat.”
“Right, order whatever you like.”
Gu Quan seemed to sense Gu Tang’s discomfort and smiled warmly. “You’re all Baby Tang’s friends, so there’s no need to be polite.”
Only then did Zhou Ze and Tan Mian relax again.
Gu Quan also picked up a menu and swiftly ticked off quite a few dishes.
“Baby Tang has loved scallops steamed with shrimp since he was little. The school cafeteria definitely doesn’t have that, so when he’s out with his dad, he should eat more.”
Seeing this, Yu Xiao refused to be outdone, but since he didn’t know Gu Tang’s preferences, he could only ask, “Tangtang, do you want strawberry juice? Order whatever you want. Big Brother’s paying, so don’t bother trying to save me money.”
Gu Quan lifted his eyelids and glanced at Yu Xiao. “With elders present, how can it be proper for the younger generation to pay?”
Yu Xiao gave a smile that wasn’t really a smile. “Uncle Gu, you’re too courteous.”
Seeing the sparks between them about to fly again, Gu Tang hurried to smooth things over. “I’ll pay for this meal!”
Gu Quan and Yu Xiao both turned to look at him.
Gu Tang smiled, his eyes curving brightly. “Hua University is basically my home turf. Since Dad Gu and Big Brother are here, let me play host for once.”
Since he had spoken, the two big shots finally calmed down.
Silence settled over the room again.
Once the dishes were served, Tan Mian tried to lighten the mood with a joke. “Gu Tang, no wonder your boyfriend had to borrow a luxury car—he was afraid he wouldn’t measure up to you, mmph—”
Before he could finish, a shrimp dumpling was stuffed into his mouth.
Zhou Ze glared at him. “Even food can’t keep your mouth shut.”
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Gu Quan and Yu Xiao had both heard him loud and clear, and at the same time they turned toward Gu Tang—
“Boyfriend???”
Gu Tang: “…”
For a moment his eyes darted everywhere, not knowing how to explain.
Luckily Zhou Ze reacted quickly and immediately covered for him. “Tan Mian got it wrong.”
Gu Tang also snapped back to himself. “Right, he got it wrong!”
“Oh?”
Yu Xiao folded his arms and leaned back in his chair.
The reflection on his glasses made it impossible to read his eyes, and for a moment no one could tell what he was thinking.
“Has Young Master Gu been busy lately?”
Yu Xiao suddenly asked.
It sounded casual, but there was an unmistakable thread of dissatisfaction in his tone. “Tangtang, that young master from the Gu family used to be glued to you. Why didn’t he come to dinner today? Now that you’re in university, has he grown distant?”
“How could that be…”
Gu Tang nervously glanced at Gu Quan.
Both families moved in the business world. No matter how closely the Gu and Yu families cooperated, they were still inevitable competitors. Gu Tang wasn’t sure whether Young Master Gu being busy taking over parts of the Gu Corporation counted as confidential information.
It wouldn’t be right to tell his elder brother.
After a brief hesitation, Gu Tang answered vaguely, “…Nian-Nian is busy with Gu Corporation work.”
It was the most neutral answer he could give.
But President Gu’s expression immediately darkened.
Gu Quan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if considering something, then asked, “Baby Tang, after entering university, has Qi Nian only been focused on school and work, without taking care of you?”
Of course not!
If Gu Tang hadn’t objected, Young Master Gu would have loved to wash him every day.
But how could Gu Tang possibly confess that they were living together off campus?
He scratched nervously at the fabric of his pants and admitted it guiltily, “Ah, Nian-Nian really is busy…”
Before he could finish, Gu Quan’s brows knitted even tighter, and his face looked even worse.
Gu Tang was startled.
What was going on?
From the time he was small until now, he had never seen Dad Gu wear such a stern expression.
The two roommates were obviously frightened by the CEO aura as well, and for a moment neither of them even dared move their chopsticks.
After a pause, Gu Quan spoke in a low voice. “Being busy with work and taking care of family are not incompatible. If he can’t balance even that little bit of work with looking after you, then I may need to reevaluate his ability.”
“If he has no time to care for you, then that’s his problem.”
Gu Quan’s standards for his biological son were especially strict.
Gu Tang hurried to correct him. “It’s not like that! Even though he’s busy, Nian-Nian really does take very good care of me!”
“Is that so?”
Gu Quan narrowed his eyes. The expression looked strikingly similar to Young Master Gu’s. “How does he take care of you?”
“He, he…”
He helped him dress, fed him, bathed him… none of that could be said aloud.
A flash of inspiration struck Gu Tang. He looked at Zhou Ze and Tan Mian and started desperately making eyes at them. “He takes such good care of me that my roommates misunderstood and thought Nian-Nian was my boyfriend.”
There, the story lined up perfectly.
The two roommates immediately played along and nodded together. “Yes, yes, that’s right, it was just a misunderstanding, haha…”
Gu Tang quickly took the chance to defend Young Master Gu. “Dad Gu, Nian-Nian really works very hard and is under a lot of pressure. He’s capable and smart, and in the future he’ll definitely build Gu Corporation into something even better. You should trust him.”
Gu Quan looked at Gu Tang for a while, then reached out and rubbed the boy’s fluffy hair. “Since childhood, you’ve only ever spoken well of him.”
“Fine then. I trust Baby Tang.”
“Come on, eat.”
“…”
Gu Tang spent the rest of the meal on edge, terrified that Dad Gu and Big Brother would circle back to questions about Young Master Gu.
Fortunately, afterward, the two of them only focused on piling food into his bowl and urging him to eat more. Their attention never wandered elsewhere.
After dinner, they even personally escorted him back to the school dormitory.
In order to finally get the two great gods to leave,
Gu Tang had no choice but to harden his scalp and, under the double scrutiny of Gu Quan and Yu Xiao, go upstairs to the dorm and sit on his completely bare, empty little bunk.
“Are you staying here tonight?” Zhou Ze asked with concern.
Gu Tang bit his lip anxiously. “I don’t know. Better wait and see…”
He had a feeling that Dad Gu and Big Brother had both been acting strangely today.
As if they were testing something.
To be safe, he didn’t dare slip out of the dorm the moment the two of them left.
“I have a spare blanket. Want me to help you make the bed?”
Zhou Ze offered a solution. “Even if you don’t actually sleep here, if your family asks later, it won’t look right for the bed to be completely empty.”
Gu Tang was extremely grateful. “That’s true! Thank you—Zhou Ze, you’re really thoughtful!”
Zhou Ze smiled.
He made friends based on instinct.
From the very first glance, he had wanted to be friends with Gu Tang.
It wasn’t only because he was cute. More importantly, Gu Tang carried a unique kind of charm that naturally drew people in. Even though he was a boy, he somehow inspired protectiveness in others.
He made people want to care for him and shelter him.
At first glance, someone like that should have been the delicate type, like a vine that could only cling to others.
But Gu Tang wasn’t.
There was another kind of energy in him too.
Like a little sun, constantly giving off warmth and light that made everyone around him feel happy and comforted.
In simple terms, Gu Tang was a sweet, positive bundle of sunshine.
No wonder that CEO had called him “Baby Tang.”
That nickname really did suit him.
“Ugh, this is all my fault.”
Tan Mian hugged the bedpost in remorse. “My stupid mouth is always running. I just blurt things out when I get excited. Why did I have to bring up your boyfriend…”
Gu Tang waved his hand. “No, it’s not your fault. It’s because I wasn’t clear enough.”
“So you really did grow up with that Young Master Gu from the Gu family, and now you’re together?”
Zhou Ze asked.
He wasn’t trying to pry into Gu Tang’s privacy. He simply felt that if he knew a little, situations like tonight could be avoided in the future.
Gu Tang’s face turned faintly red, and he nodded softly. “That’s exactly why we haven’t told the family.”
“That explains it…”
Zhou Ze understood. “You’re afraid they won’t accept it, right? Especially since you used to get along like brothers.”
Tan Mian didn’t get it. “What’s the problem with that?”
“There’s no blood relation, so why can’t you be together? Isn’t that just bringing the families even closer? Besides, there’s already talk that same-sex marriage might become legal next year.”
“You two could get your marriage certificate as soon as you graduate from university.”
The art world was highly accepting of same-sex couples. Tan Mian had seen plenty and didn’t find it strange at all.
He had already planned their marriage schedule for them.
“We haven’t made those kinds of plans yet…”
Gu Tang pursed his lips.
Actually, Young Master Gu had mentioned marriage to him before.
But he had been far too embarrassed at the time and had simply muddled his way past the subject.
“Why not?”
Tan Mian sounded more anxious than he was. “Once you two get the certificate as soon as you’re legally allowed, what can your families really say?”
“Things aren’t that simple.”
Before Gu Tang could answer, Zhou Ze smacked Tan Mian again.
Tan Mian covered his head. “Why do you keep hitting me? Did I say something wrong?”
Zhou Ze glanced at Gu Tang, concern in his eyes. “For families like the Gu and Yu families, it’s probably very hard for the younger generation to decide their own marriages, right?”
Gu Tang shook his head. “Not exactly.”
“Actually, the Gu family is very open-minded. It’s just that the Yu family is more traditional…”
Big Brother’s hostility toward Young Master Gu had already become very obvious. Even Gu Tang could see it.
Though his parents hadn’t said anything, Big Brother’s attitude more or less represented the Yu family’s position. His mother had a gentle temperament and probably didn’t care all that much, but his father was another matter entirely.
Still, Gu Tang had his own thoughts.
No matter what, he would always stand on Young Master Gu’s side.
As long as he was there,
he would never let Young Master Gu become as lonely and isolated as he had been in the novel.
Compared to the Yu family, what Gu Tang really worried about was actually the Gu family.
Dad Gu had watched him grow up. Grandma Mei had cared for him so painstakingly. Aunt Shen had treated him as her own child…
If they found out he had “led Young Master Gu astray,” would they be furious?
Would they feel he had repaid kindness with betrayal?
What if the elders got so angry over this that it harmed their health?
Because there were simply too many things to worry about, Gu Tang had never dared reveal that he and Young Master Gu were together. He had always thought that if he could delay it for one more day, that was one more day gained.
Who knew he had almost let it slip today?
Gu Tang hid in the dorm and waited for a long time. Ten more minutes and the dorm curfew would begin.
Outside the window, only the sparse campus streetlights were still on.
He pressed his face to the glass and looked.
No cars were parked outside.
…Dad Gu and Big Brother had probably gone back already, right?
Gu Tang hesitated over whether he should return home.
Just then, his phone buzzed in his pocket.
The moment he saw the caller ID, his eyes lit up, and he immediately answered—
“Nian-Nian!”
From the speaker came Young Master Gu’s deep, magnetic voice. “Where are you? Why aren’t you home?”
Gu Tang froze. “You’re back? At home?”
“Mm…”
Gu Qinian had come back five days early just to surprise him.
Who would have thought that after rushing all the way back to their little place, he would find the house dark, with no sign of Gu Tang’s lively, adorable little figure.
His heart had immediately sunk halfway into the ground.
It was only when he heard Gu Tang’s sweet, soft voice calling his name that his heart began beating properly again.
“I’m in the dorm…”
Gu Tang had barely managed to give his location when the other side said, “I’m coming to get you.”
Then the call ended in a rush.
It wasn’t that Young Master Gu was being overly hasty.
Once the Hua University dorms closed for curfew, no one could enter or leave. By then, there would be no way to pick him up.
When Gu Tang had bought their little apartment, one of the main reasons had been because it was close enough to Hua University.
Five minutes later, Young Master Gu’s shabby little car stopped outside the dorm building.
Even Zhou Ze clicked his tongue. “A dignified young master from the Gu family driving something like that—you two really are willing to sacrifice for love…”
“You don’t get it, this is romantic!”
Tan Mian looked dreamy. “Willing to throw everything away for love!”
Gu Tang gave a dry laugh. “It’s not really throwing everything away…”
It was just for the convenience of parking in an old neighborhood.
“So that supercar from the first day really was his?”
Tan Mian asked.
Gu Tang nodded. “But it’s already been given away.”
Tan Mian made a mournful sound. “That car was a worldwide limited edition, only ten of them. I wanted to get one more look at it. How could it already be gone…”
“It was given to my little uncle. If you like it, next time I can let you drive it.”
Gu Tang was extremely generous.
After all, Gu Lin’s enthusiasm never lasted long. No matter how much he loved a car, after driving it for a while he would lose interest. Besides, the one actually driving was usually Second Brother anyway.
Asking to borrow it back for a few days wouldn’t be a big problem.
Tan Mian was flattered, but after thinking about it, he waved it off. “Forget it, forget it. I don’t even have a license yet. Even if I did, I wouldn’t dare drive that kind of car. I just want to touch a real luxury car once and know what it feels like.”
After a moment’s thought, Gu Tang suggested, “Why don’t you come over during the holidays?”
Winter break wasn’t far off.
If his relationship with Young Master Gu didn’t blow up before then, this year’s winter birthdays would probably still be celebrated at the Gu family home, just like always.
At that time, if he invited their old high school friends as well as his two college roommates, everyone coming together would make the house wonderfully lively.
“Really?”
Tan Mian’s eyes shone. “Does your family have a lot of sports cars?”
Gu Tang knew Tan Mian’s fascination with cars wasn’t because he was flashy. His major focus was industrial design, so his interest in vehicles was entirely natural.
And ordinarily, opportunities to get up close to a top-tier supercar were rare.
Just looking at pictures wasn’t enough—Tan Mian felt it would be hard to become an excellent designer that way. Now that there was a chance to actually study one at close range, how could he not be excited?
Gu Tang told him, “Dad Gu has some in his collection. I can ask whether he’d be willing to open the garage. If not, I’ve got a few myself.”
Tan Mian’s eyes went wide. “A few?!”
Gu Tang looked a little sheepish. “I’m not actually sure how many…”
They were all birthday gifts from recent years.
He had too much on his plate and little interest in cars, so he had never even gotten around to counting them.
Tan Mian collapsed dramatically onto the bed. “So this is what they mean by humble-bragging!”
Gu Tang patted his shoulder. “Once you get your license, I’ll lend you one to drive.”
Other people’s cars weren’t his to decide about, but he definitely had a say over his own few.
Tan Mian looked deeply moved. “I’ve got motivation now!”
Gu Tang pumped a little encouraging fist at him. “You can do it!”
“Wait…”
Tan Mian grabbed a little piece of his clothing. “Do you need a driver? Once I get my license, would I have a chance…”
“No. No need.”
Before he could finish, Gu Tang cut him off coldly.
He peeled Tan Mian’s fingers away. “Why would someone with hands meant for design go be a chauffeur?”
Then he rushed out of the dorm in a hurry.
Young Master Gu was still waiting for him!
Inside the dorm,
Tan Mian was still sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.
After a long moment, he lifted both hands and stared at them again and again—
“He said these are the hands of a designer!”
Tan Mian held both hands up for Zhou Ze to inspect, his eyes glittering.
Lately, he’d actually felt very insecure.
Plenty of people said industrial design majors had a hard time finding work afterward. Tan Mian often felt anxious too, unsure whether he should spend his future chasing money or stubbornly hold onto his dream.
Gu Tang had given him an answer.
Zhou Ze patted him on the shoulder and glanced out the window.
The boy rushed out the dorm doors like a little bird set free, flying straight into that gray little car. Even from behind, he looked lively and bright.
That was exactly the kind of person Gu Tang was—without even trying, he made everyone feel warmer.
So how happy must the person be who was loved so sincerely by him?
Gu Tang hopped into the passenger seat.
Because he had run all the way over, his breathing was still a little uneven.
The moment he shut the car door and turned his head, he saw Young Master Gu leaning across toward him.
They were still at school!
How embarrassing…
Though those were the thoughts in his head, Gu Tang still obediently closed his eyes, cheeks flushed, and puckered his lips.
Click.
Instead of the kiss he had imagined, all he heard was a sharp click.
Gu Tang opened his eyes in confusion and realized Young Master Gu had only leaned over to fasten his seatbelt.
“…”
Instantly, embarrassment crashed down on him.
He didn’t know whether the other had noticed his little movement just now. He hurriedly drew back his overly puckered lips, turned toward the window, and sat up straight with his knees together.
Outside the car, several boys carrying basketballs passed by and casually glanced inside.
Only after they had gone did Gu Tang cover his face.
Ahhhh—
He really had no shame at all!
If he and Young Master Gu had started making out in the car just now, people would have seen them!
Gu Tang, you are not allowed to keep thinking about that kind of thing!!!
When he saw Gu Tang clutching his face and shaking his head frantically, even though it was too dark in the car to make out color, Gu Qinian could easily guess that the little ears hidden under those hands were probably bright red.
“Heh…”
After many days apart, all his restlessness melted away. Gu Qinian laughed in excellent spirits.
Hearing him, Gu Tang turned to look.
He saw Young Master Gu smiling, the corners of his eyes and lips lifted, his whole expression wickedly amused.
“Nian-Nian, you did that on purpose!”
Gu Tang puffed up, aggrieved.
Pretending he was going to kiss him, tricking him into leaning in, just so he could enjoy seeing him make a fool of himself.
Gu Qinian’s smile only widened. “Of course not. But I genuinely didn’t expect you to be that enthusiastic.”
Gu Tang: “Hmph.”
The boy was gentle by nature and rarely got angry. That tiny little huff of irritation made him even more irresistible.
Gu Qinian’s throat shifted once, and he leaned toward him again.
This time he meant it.
But Gu Tang immediately braced both hands against him.
“No kiss for you.”
Gu Qinian glanced outside. “No one’s there anymore.”
Gu Tang refused to budge. “You already lost your chance.”
“Oh, is that how it is…”
Young Master Gu curled his lips. “Then next time, I’ll pick a place with lots of people and kiss you there. I’ll kiss you until you cry.”
Gu Tang stared at him in disbelief. “Nian-Nian, you hooligan…”
Was that really something Young Master Gu would say?
He sounded like a complete rogue!
Gu Qinian just shrugged. “I’m a businessman. If I weren’t a little shameless, I wouldn’t be able to do business.”
“Nonsense!”
Gu Tang protested, counting on his fingers. “Dad Gu is very gentlemanly, and my big brother’s not bad either, and little uncle too…”
“Those are just their fake masks.”
Gu Qinian took hold of the boy’s wrist, his thumb rubbing the raised bone there over and over, his gaze dark and deep. “In front of the person closest to you, you don’t need something like that.”
Gu Tang, innocent as always, failed to notice the danger.
As soon as the topic of business came up, he thought about Young Master Gu’s recent work trip.
With concern, he asked, “Did things go smoothly for you in S Country this time?”
Gu Qinian replied, “Not bad. I found out something interesting. It’s related to your family.”
Gu Tang grew curious. “What?”
Gu Qinian’s attention was half on the boy’s moist lips as he casually explained, “Yu Rong must have guessed long ago that he would eventually go down. Over the years he moved quite a lot of assets overseas, including shares in the Yu Corporation.”
Gu Tang blinked. “Then now that he’s been arrested, what happens to those assets?”
“They’ll become ownerless property.”
Gu Qinian licked his thin lips. “If they belonged to someone else, I’d swallow them whole. But since they belong to your family, I didn’t interfere. I’m leaving it to your big brother to see if he’s capable of pulling them back in.”
Gu Tang could only grasp the rough outline of it.
In simple terms, Young Master Gu had deliberately let his brother have the chance to recover those Yu assets that had drifted abroad.
As for the Gu family, Young Master Gu’s work in S Country had already begun to show visible results and served as his offering to the old board members, winning their approval.
At this point, the real power of Gu Corporation had essentially all fallen into Gu Qinian’s hands. Publicly, all that remained was for Gu Quan to step down.
Gu Tang poked the hard chest in front of him. “So once Dad Gu steps down, you’ll become the family head?”
“Yes. Once that happens, we’ll be able to go public.”
Young Master Gu’s long, narrow eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
Seeing that self-satisfied look, Gu Tang suddenly froze, then thought of a rather outrageous possibility.
“Wait…”
He stared at him. “You wanted to become family head just for that?”
Gu Qinian’s attitude was perfectly frank. “Why else? It’s such a bitter, exhausting job with unstable pay. Who would want it?”
Gu Tang: “…”
He suddenly began to sympathize with Dad Gu.
After all, Dad Gu had been doing exactly that kind of work for decades.
Seeing the expression on his face, Gu Qinian complained, “Father has already enjoyed himself for several years. Why don’t you feel bad for me?”
Then he bit lightly at the tip of Gu Tang’s finger.
Gu Tang jerked his paw back. “Of course I feel most sorry for you!”
“Really? Prove it.”
As Young Master Gu said that, he leaned over toward his mouth again.
Gu Tang immediately covered his lips with a hand. “I already told you, no!”
Young Master Gu lifted a brow. “So your pity is fake?”
“It’s not.”
Gu Tang lowered his voice, blushing furiously. “It’s just… we’re still at school. School is a place for studying.”
“We can kiss… after we get home.”
“Fine.”
Gu Qinian wasted no time. He sat back behind the wheel and stepped hard on the gas.
The little wreck of a car jolted into motion at surprising speed.
Neither of the two people inside noticed that once their battered car started up, two black luxury vehicles pulled out from behind the nearby trees and silently followed after them…
The broken-down little car slowly rolled into the old neighborhood and parked itself in an empty spot.
There were very few streetlights in the area, leaving everything dim. Most of the residents were already home preparing for bed. No one was around, only the rustle of leaves in the wind and the chirping of late-autumn insects.
Gu Tang reached for the door handle, preparing to get out, only to discover the door was locked.
“Nian-Nian, unlock the door…”
The moment he turned around, his shoulders were grabbed, and he was pressed back against the seat.
The kiss came in the very next instant.
Perhaps because they had been apart for more than ten days, Young Master Gu had lost whatever composure he’d had left. He kissed him fiercely and hungrily, unable to restrain his true nature.
Gu Tang’s pupils widened slightly.
But after that brief moment of surprise, he obediently parted his lips and let the other invade.
He had missed Young Master Gu too…
Carefully, he extended a little bit of his tongue, and in the next instant it was tangled up and drawn in. The kiss was deep.
The wet sounds between them made the air feel hot.
Gu Tang was kissed until even his tailbone went numb. Like someone falling into water, he wrapped both arms helplessly around the other’s neck.
His fingers accidentally brushed against Young Master Gu’s ear.
It was burning hot.
If it was this hot, then his ears had to be bright red too…
Gu Tang thought hazily, his head spinning.
Suddenly, a powerful beam of light cut through the car.
Gu Tang was facing straight into it, and the glare was so sharp that he couldn’t open his eyes.
Gu Qinian reacted instantly. He shielded Gu Tang with his body at once, then yanked off his jacket and covered Gu Tang’s face with it.
At first he thought it might be paparazzi, or some obsessive fan trying to secretly photograph Gu Tang.
But when he got a clear look through the car window, he realized the situation was very wrong—
Outside were two cars that absolutely should not have been there.
Their doors opened, and Yu Xiao got out first.
Then Gu Quan stepped out of the other one, his face dark as thunder as he looked toward them.
And at exactly that moment, Gu Tang pulled the jacket off his face and asked blankly, “Nian-Nian, what’s happening?”
Gu Qinian turned and pecked him lightly on the lips. “Nothing.”
“We’ve just been found out.”
***
Author’s Note:
Papa Gu: What?! My family’s pig has rooted up my family’s cabbage?!!
Gu Qinian: We’ve been found out.
Tangtang: And you sound pretty happy about it?
