Li Chen took a deep breath, struggling to maintain his calmness. He slowly turned around to face Gu Xie’s handsome and silent face. He stood in the dark, and only half of his face could be seen. The other side was covered in darkness. His entire self was in boundless darkness.

“Mr. Gu, your Big Brother has passed away for years. Although you and I are not friends, you are also the brother of Yuanan. I have seen you several times,” Li Chen said. His eyes were soft and flawless.

Gu Xie clenched his fist, and the veins on the back of his hands were throbbing as if he was suppressing something. Li Chen was right. They had met before, but they were not friends. In all these years, he almost could not remember such a person like Li Chen.

He hardly remembered anything regarding Li Chen and his Big Brother because Li Chen seldom showed up at the Gu Family’s house. His clearest impression of Li Chen was when he heard of him through Lin Xiaojuan. If they had not met here today, he might not have been able to match the Li Chen before him with the Li Chen in his mind. Many things surfaced as well. He was a friend of Big Brother.

His Big Brother did not have many friends as he had spent most of his time in Ghost City. The friends that he made were on a rather superficial level. When it came to friends that could be brought home and those whose life and death mattered, Gu Xie’s circle of friends would never cross paths with Big Brother Gu’s circle of friends. He tried very hard to remember what Li Chen looked like in his mind, but no matter how, he felt like Li Chen was not like this.

The image of Li Chen and his brother standing together was stuck in his mind. Back then, he was still a youth, and so was his brother. The two of them were talking to one another, and they did not seem happy. Since Big Brother could bring him home, he should be Li Chen.

He only saw the side profile of Li Chen, but Li Chen was half a head shorter than Big Brother. When he was angry, his actions were very big, and he would lose control of his emotions. The man before him had a strong build, and he was calm and gentle. The two of them seemed to be greatly different.

Was it because he had matured?

But the man before him behaved even more like Big Brother.

The same height, the same back view, the same temper. 

Gu Xie’s heart was palpitating wildly.

If he had met him on the streets, he would not hesitate to chase after him. He would think that Big Brother had changed his soul.

“Big Brother, it’s you, isn’t it?” Gu Xie’s eyes were red. He tried very hard to control his emotions. “There are only the two of us here right now. Since we were young, you doted on me the most, and you never lied to me. I won’t tell anyone.”

“Gu Xie, I am not your Big Brother,” Li Chen said. He was determined. Among all the younger brothers, he doted on Gu Xie the most. Since they were young, he met all of his demands. “I heard from Yun An that he doted on you most. He has already died. I am just as sad as you are.”

“You are not Li Chen. He’s not like this.” Gu Xie was determined to say. This was clearly Big Brother. How could this be Li Chen?

Li Chen said calmly, “You have mistaken me.”

He looked down and smiled. “Didn’t Gu Yuanli tell you about me and your Big Brother?”

Gu Xie was a little confused.

Li Chen said, “I loved your Big Brother, deeply. So after he died, I have been trying to mimic his behavior and the ways he speaks. I try to behave like him in every action, and I try to live like him. This way, it can help me to get over the fact that I have lost him. I live like him. You get it?”

Gu Xie felt as if lightning had struck down on him. He stood rooted to the ground. Li Chen felt really bad, and he tried to avoid looking at his eyes. “I have never been able to accept the fact that he has passed on. This must be our greatest pain.”

Gu Xie could not speak up for a moment. He looked at Li Chen in shock.
