Chapter 12 . Lucky “Did Sui brother meet the right person…”

Gu Sui had been idle at home these days, planning how to win back his ex-girlfriend.

Gu Tingsong was worried that if he kept staying at home all day like this, he would revert back to his previous state, so she advised him.

“Son, you should go out and interact with people your age. Look at these invitation cards from various households, go to the ones you like and make some friends.”

Gu Sui flipped through those exquisitely crafted cards that carried the scent of flowers.

Prime Minister’s mansion snow appreciation banquet, Minister’s mansion tea tasting banquet, Yu Jun’s mansion flower pinning banquet…

Gu Sui hesitated to speak, how did he vaguely feel that he had seen the people from these mansions at Yulu Tower before?

Mother was probably hoping that besides making more friends, he would also meet other excellent women and forget about Mu Jiulu.

“Mother, isn’t it good for me to stay at home with you?”

The lazy young man gazed with a pair of gentle peach blossom eyes, his voice soft, causing Gu Tingsong to be momentarily dazed.

The current Sui, compared to his previous cold demeanor, his every smile and frown greatly resembled his father when he was young.

Alas, if Sui had been this caring and understanding when he was little, he wouldn’t have been so melancholic and left so early.

“What’s wrong, Mother?”

Seeing her expression dim, Gu Sui thought he had said something wrong and spoke with some unease.

“It’s nothing, I just thought of your father.”

Gu Tingsong couldn’t bear to see her son being so cautious, and gently stroked his forehead.

“If you don’t want to go to these, I won’t force you. However, tomorrow is Young Master Li’s birthday banquet. You used to be good friends with him, so you should still attend this one.”

“But I don’t know him now, won’t there be any mishaps?”

Gu Sui said worriedly, Gu Tingsong waved her hand dismissively.

“It’s fine, Sui can just get to know him again.”

Gu Sui was shocked, is it really this casual?

Gu Tingsong continued: “Don’t be afraid, with me here, you can walk sideways in the capital without any problems. Just make friends with those you like, there’s no need to be overly polite with people.”

For some reason, since Sui forgot his past, that coldness had disappeared, but she always felt that he was somewhat timid.

This won’t do.

Gu Sui lowered his eyelashes, his fingers slightly curled, a warmth welling up in his heart.

This was a feeling he could never experience with Gu Shi.

“I don’t want to cause trouble for Mother,” Gu Sui said softly.

Hearing this, Gu Tingsong lightly tapped his head with her finger, joking:

“What trouble could you possibly cause that’s bigger than the Regent? Don’t worry, Mother can solve everything.”

Gu Sui: “……”

Come to think of it, since he came here, he didn’t want to have any interactions with anyone outside the Gu family, except for Mu Jiulu.

It was as if Mu Jiulu, like Gu Tingsong, could help him solve all his troubles.

Because of the same favoritism, he had only experienced it from her before.

*

Due to his personality, Gu Sui had never been able to make friends since childhood. The Young Master Li, Li Fuyu, could be considered his only good friend.

Li Fuyu had an outgoing personality and was straightforward. When he was little, he was once saved by Gu Sui when he encountered bad people outside, and the two became friends because of this.

Gu Sui had merely helped someone in need, but Li Fuyu remembered him in his heart ever since.

He didn’t mind Gu Sui’s coldness at all. When Gu Sui was still in the capital before, Li Fuyu would often visit the General’s mansion, with or without reason.

He would either lie on the stone table watching Gu Sui practice sword, or chatter away telling him about some romance novels he had sneakily read.

Gu Sui didn’t drive him away, and over time even Gu Tingsong became familiar with this Young Master Li, inviting him to come play often.

Later, when Gu Sui went to the frontier, Li Fuyu didn’t see him much until this birthday banquet.

“Sui brother, it’s been so long since we last met, I’m so happy you could come!”

The young man, dressed in a fur-collared coat with delicate features, said joyfully. Gu Sui handed over the birthday gift prepared by the mansion in advance.

“You’re giving this to me, Sui brother? I must keep it carefully.”

“Happy birthday.”

Gu Sui said, and the next second Li Fuyu covered his mouth in surprise.

“Oh my god, Sui brother, you actually spoke to me!”

“It’s been nine years, this is the first time I’ve heard you speak!”

Gu Sui: “……”

This scene seemed familiar somehow.

Fortunately, Li Fuyu was just very happy and didn’t intend to dig deeper, so Gu Sui was spared from explaining.

This young master seemed like someone he could get along with.

In Li Fuyu’s courtyard, almost everyone who came to attend his birthday banquet had arrived.

They gathered in groups of three or five, and when they saw Gu Sui being personally welcomed in by Li Fuyu, their gazes paused for a moment.

It was their first time seeing the Gu family’s young general at such an occasion.

Gu Sui was tall and slender, wrapped in a dark blue cloak, standing there like a pine and jade.

He had a face that would make all men jealous, with clear and handsome features, gentle peach blossom eyes, not at all like the ruthless killer that rumors outside portrayed him to be.

“Sui brother, let me introduce you. This is Yuan Yi Yu Jun.”

The young man surrounded by a group of people raised his chin upon hearing this, proud as a little peacock.

“So you’re Gu Sui?”

Gu Sui nodded slightly: “Yes, what’s the matter?”

Mu Yi looked him up and down, then snorted.

“My Ninth Imperial Sister snatched your embroidered ball, what do you think is the matter?”

Only then did Gu Sui take a closer look at this little peacock who seemed quite young.

“You’re her brother?”

“No one is worthy of Ninth Imperial Sister. I’m warning you, don’t even think about marrying into the Regent’s mansion!”

Faced with Mu Yi’s inexplicable hostility, Gu Sui was quite speechless.

What kind of possessive brother is this!

“Mu Yi, what nonsense are you spouting? I think it’s the Regent who isn’t worthy of my Sui brother. Even if she wants to marry Sui brother, he might not agree!”

Li Fuyu suddenly spoke up, and Gu Sui looked over in astonishment.

How come he’s also so possessive!

“Li Fuyu! I took time out of my schedule to come celebrate your birthday, is this how you talk to your little uncle?”

Mu Yi said angrily, and Li Fuyu made a face at him.

“Who told you to belittle my Sui brother?”

Li Fuyu’s father is the Duke of Minghua, the cousin of Mu Jiulu and Mu Yi, so he also has royal blood.

Due to the difference in generations, even though Mu Yi is only fifteen this year, three years younger than him, he still has to call him little uncle.

In formal occasions, he would still address him properly, but in private, he would just call him by name.

They used to get along quite well before, who would have thought they would suddenly start arguing now.

“He’s just not worthy of Imperial Sister!”

“Bah, Sui brother is the best person in the world, it’s that no one is worthy of him!”

The person in question, Gu Sui: “……”

How did things develop to this point?

Is there anyone who can control them?

“Li Fuyu, just you wait! I’ll tell Imperial Sister when I get back, see how she deals with you!”

Unable to out-argue Li Fuyu, Mu Yi glared fiercely at the two of them. Li Fuyu shrugged, speaking nonchalantly.

“Tch, the Regent is so busy, where would she find time to come make trouble for me?”

The people around didn’t dare to breathe, they didn’t want to be involved in this divine battle.

“You…”

Mu Yi was furious. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Gu Sui promptly pulled Li Fuyu away.

“Phew, Sui brother, why did you pull me away? I’m not afraid of him.”

Gu Sui: “I’m afraid you might anger him to death.”

Li Fuyu: “……”

He laughed a bit embarrassedly, his voice much gentler than the previous excitement.

“But I wasn’t really wrong, was I?”

Gu Sui: “Let’s just say, is there a possibility that I actually like the Regent?”

Hearing this, Li Fuyu’s eyes widened: “How could that be!”

In his eyes, his Sui brother was like a flower on a high cliff, no one could pluck him!

Seeing Gu Sui nod to confirm, Li Fuyu’s brow immediately showed a hint of small grievance.

“But Sui brother, if you marry the Regent, won’t you be a generation above me?”

Gu Sui: “……”

Li Fuyu tugged at Gu Sui’s sleeve, shaking it.

“Sui brother, please don’t get married, okay? Why do you have to get married? I don’t understand.”

He lowered his head, his voice getting lower and lower.

“My mother is now constantly looking for matches for me too. She always thinks it’s embarrassing that I’m eighteen and still not married off. But I really don’t want to get married at all.”

His thoughts might seem very unconventional in this world, but to Gu Sui, they were quite normal.

In the era he came from, marriage was no longer a necessity. Before meeting Mu Jiulu, he had never thought about getting married either.

“That’s because you haven’t met the person you love yet.”

Gu Sui’s voice was clean and clear. Li Fuyu was stunned for a moment.

“I used to be like you, thinking that marriage was just a burden. It would only bring me trouble. But when you meet the right person, all your previous concerns seem to no longer be issues.”

Li Fuyu’s lips moved slightly, hesitantly asking: “Is that so?”

“Yes, but one thing, some people might never meet the right person in their lifetime. In that case, it depends on whether you’re willing to settle.”

Gu Sui was realistic. He wouldn’t just tell Li Fuyu the beautiful side of things, letting him blindly jump into this deep pit.

Because what’s waiting for him below might not be gentle arms, but sharp traps.

“So has Sui brother met that right person?”

Li Fuyu tilted his head and asked. Gu Sui lightly curved his lips, raising a gentle and shallow smile.

“Yes, this might be the luckiest thing in my life.”

Li Fuyu read a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and suddenly felt a bit envious.

“If only I were a woman, then Sui brother would definitely be the right person for me!”

Gu Sui: “???!!!”

He moved half a step away from Li Fuyu in shock. The latter suddenly sighed again.

“But I still feel that no one is worthy of Sui brother. Even if I became a woman, I wouldn’t be worthy.”

Gu Sui couldn’t help but tap him: “Where did you get such a big filter for me!”

Li Fuyu, not understanding, tilted his head: “Huh?”

Gu Sui sighed helplessly. Suddenly, the Li family’s servant came to report.

“Young Master, Young General Gu, the Regent has come to visit and is now in the front courtyard.”

Li Fuyu, who was so bold just now, reflexively hid behind Gu Sui, grabbing his sleeve and not letting go.

“Sui brother! The Regent isn’t here to cause trouble for me, is she? How could this be!”

This Ninth Aunt is even scarier than his mother!

Gu Sui: “…Think positively, you two are relatives after all, maybe she’s here to celebrate your birthday?”

Li Fuyu’s voice started to tremble: “That’s impossible, she’s never come before!”

“Sui brother, save me!”
