“A small matter,” Gu Changheng said, feeling dejected.
“Yeah. Oh right, Young Master Gu,” Liu Anbo replied, “Tomorrow night is Zhao Yunfeng’s birthday. We’ve all set up a surprise for him according to your request. Do you want to come and check if everything is okay?”
Gu Changheng couldn’t remember what surprise he had planned for Zhao Yunfeng.
He had been chasing Zhao Yunfeng for seven or eight years. Every birthday was a big deal for him, and Gu Changheng always put in a lot of effort because he cared about it. He made it special every time, but now he couldn’t recall any specific details.
“No need,” Gu Changheng said. “Just have everyone destroy it!”
“Destroy it?” Liu Anbo exclaimed in disbelief. “You put so much thought into this—”
“Forget it, just throw it all away! And by the way, don’t anyone mention ‘Zhao Yunfeng’ in front of me again. If anyone brings him up, I’ll get angry.”
Liu Anbo was surprised. “Did he hurt you again?”
Gu Changheng hung up the phone directly, leaving Liu Anbo looking confused.
Gu Changheng took a moment to calm down and called the driver. “Uncle Zhao, take me to the hospital.”
At the hospital, Gu Changheng underwent a comprehensive check-up.
Since this was the Gu family’s exclusive hospital, when Gu Changheng said, “I need the results quickly,” every department expedited his tests immediately.
By one o’clock in the afternoon, a complete medical report was delivered to Gu Changheng by the hospital director.
Gu Changheng closed his eyes, took a long breath, and slowly opened the report, checking each item: healthy, no abnormalities, healthy, no abnormalities…
When his eyes fell on the blood test results, his fingers covered the result. Slowly, he moved his fingers away and saw the clear word “negative” on it.
He stared at the word “negative” for a long time.
…
He knew the result would be this way. After all, at this point in his rebirth, he was only 15, not an adult and had never engaged in any sexual activity.
But having been tortured by this disease in his previous life, the shadow of it loomed over the entire second half of his life. He couldn’t feel at ease without seeing the word “negative” on the medical report with his own eyes.
Gu Changheng’s fingers began to tremble slightly, and he almost felt like crying.
He was still healthy.
Completely healthy!
Gu Changheng walked out of the hospital holding the medical report as if he had found a treasure. Only then did he have the mood to appreciate the scenery around him, and he began to think about how to live this new life.
The Gu family was one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the local area. This meant that Gu Changheng had been spoiled since childhood and developed an arrogant and reckless personality.
During his teenage years, his rebellious mindset only intensified.
When he first fell in love with Zhao Yunfeng, he disregarded everything to be with him.
In college, after Zhao Yunfeng agreed to date him, Gu Changheng was eager to announce it to the world. He came out to his parents during the summer vacation.
Father Gu was a traditional and stern man who could not accept that his only son liked men. He strongly opposed Gu Changheng’s relationship with Zhao Yunfeng and even threatened to sever their father-son relationship in anger.
Gu Changheng was also headstrong and vowed that if his father didn’t accept Zhao Yunfeng, he would never step foot in the Gu family home again.
The stalemate continued until Gu Changheng’s death, with neither side willing to back down.
Gu Changheng always believed that his father valued face more than he valued him, so he resented him.
