Having time-traveled to this world, he was nothing more than a newborn infant.
He felt the warmth of maternal love.
That feeling made him a boy prone to crying ever since he was born.
Until... the year he turned four, when his mother also passed away.
On the very day his mother left, he contracted a strange illness!
He was left all alone in the house; he had no grandparents.
He had heard they passed away long ago.
He was taken in by a friend of his father.
Then, when he turned six,
he was picked up by his father and went to live with him.
There, the place was densely packed with jungles...
"We're here!"
"Thanks, driver!"
Before Gu Yang could collect his thoughts, Wang Chenxi's cool little hand pulled him directly out of the car.
Gu Yang didn't use force, afraid of hurting Wang Chenxi.
"Come on, let's go, since we're already here, come inside and sit for a bit.
Besides, you haven't had dinner yet, it won't hurt to grab a bite before you leave!"
Gu Yang furrowed his brows deeply, looking at the coquettish Wang Chenxi.
He reached out and pointed at the little hand gripping his arm.
Wang Chenxi's pretty face instantly flushed.
She hurriedly let go and said, "Aiya, I'm a girl and I'm not making a fuss.
How can a big man like you be so petty?"
Gu Yang let out a soft sigh and looked at the sprawling luxury villa complex.
"Can you even hail a cab around here?"
Wang Chenxi immediately nodded. "Of course!"
The security guard respectfully saluted the two of them.
"Miss Wang, the electric cart has already been prepared for you."
"Mhm."
Wang Chenxi led Gu Yang to a small four-wheeled electric cart parked nearby.
A security guard drove them further inside.
All the way until they reached Wang Chenxi's family villa.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. If Miss Wang needs anything, just give us a call!"
The security guard left. Wang Chenxi opened the courtyard gate and led Gu Yang inside.
The villa was very large, complete with its own small courtyard.
Unfamiliar flowers and plants grew inside the small courtyard.
At that moment, however, Wang Chenxi was very surprised.
Because after arriving at the luxurious villa complex,
Gu Yang merely raised his head to glance around once, and then acted as if it were completely ordinary.
This left Wang Chenxi very puzzled.
You must know that whenever she brought friends over in the past,
everyone would look around the villa complex left and right in curiosity,
or else chatter endlessly, asking questions about everything.
Yet Gu Yang not only failed to look around inquisitively, he couldn't even be bothered to ask a single question.
There wasn't the slightest trace of surprise or envy on his face.
Wang Chenxi muttered inwardly to herself.
Once they entered the living room, a middle-aged woman immediately stepped forward to take Wang Chenxi's backpack.
"Miss is back?"
"Mhm. Where's my mom? Isn't she back yet?"
"She's back, she's in the kitchen. She said she wanted to cook lobster for you herself.
Didn't you talk about wanting to eat lobster every day recently?
It just so happened that some fresh lobsters were shipped in today, so I bought some."
With that, the nanny curiously looked at Gu Yang as he changed his shoes.
"Gu Yang, this is Aunt Zhuang, our family nanny."
Gu Yang nodded at Aunt Zhuang.
"Aunt Zhuang, this is my classmate, Gu Yang!"
"Oh, come on in quickly, dinner will be ready in a moment!"
Aunt Zhuang walked inward while secretly wondering at Gu Yang's expressionless demeanor.
"Mom, I'm back! This is my classmate, Gu Yang!"
In the kitchen, Gu Yang stood at the doorway and nodded to the beautiful woman busy in front of the stove.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Wang's mother hugged Wang Chenxi, who had thrown herself onto her.
She curiously glanced at Gu Yang, nodded with a smile, and said, "The young man is quite handsome.
You two go on out first, go eat some fruit outside, Mom will be done right away."
You had to admit, Wang's mother was genuinely gorgeous—tall, curvaceous, and full-figured.
Even more explosive than Wang Chenxi.
What made her even more precious was the mature and charming aura she carried.
That was something the pure Wang Chenxi could never learn.
Judging by her appearance, she wasn't very old—perhaps in her thirties, though Gu Yang didn't know her exact age.
Yet his heart was beating fast right then, because the innate maternal radiance emanating from Wang's mother
made him lose his focus for a moment, as if he were seeing his own mother.
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about?"
Wang Chenxi waved her hand in front of Gu Yang, and he snapped back to reality.
A rare flush crept onto his cheeks.
Wang's mother, busy with her cooking, curiously glanced at Gu Yang, who had been staring at her just now.
"Nothing!"
Wang Chenxi looked with odd perplexity at Gu Yang, who was much taller than her.
He was actually blushing??? What was going on?
Arriving in the living room, Wang Chenxi asked Gu Yang what he wanted to drink, and he asked for water.
Wang Chenxi went to get the water and brought it to Gu Yang's side.
"Don't smoke, my mom doesn't like the smell of cigarettes!"
Gu Yang nodded in understanding. "Where's your dad?"
Wang Chenxi let out a heavy sigh. "My dad has been gone for a long time. He died in a car accident when I was twelve."
"Oh! Is your mom single?"
Wang Chenxi cast a sideways glance at the expressionless Gu Yang.
"Duh, isn't your dad single too?"
"Yeah!"
"Huh?" Wang Chenxi was stunned for a moment.
She originally thought Gu Yang's question was very strange and casually shot back a retort, but she hadn't expected—
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you..."
Gu Yang shook his head. "It's fine. I lost mine when I was four years old."
"Huh??" Wang Chenxi widened her pretty eyes in shock. "Four years old?"
"What four years old? Come over and eat!"
Wang's mother carried a dish out, glanced at the two of them in the living room, and asked curiously.
Wang Chenxi hurriedly brushed past the topic. "Let's go, time to eat."
Gu Yang stood up and followed Wang Chenxi to the dining room.
After the three of them sat down, Wang's mother took another look at Gu Yang.
His demeanor was composed; though his clothes were shabby, he showed not the slightest bit of awkwardness or pettiness.
He had an extraordinary temperament and was quite handsome as well.
She then looked at her daughter with satisfaction. "What were you two talking about regarding age four just now?"
Wang Chenxi picked up a large lobster and put it directly on Gu Yang's plate.
Then she grabbed another one for Wang's mother, and finally placed one on her own plate.
Hearing Wang's mother's question, Wang Chenxi's heart skipped a beat. She had just managed to drop the subject, and now her own mother was bringing it up again.
She cautiously glanced at Gu Yang.
"It's nothing, we were just saying I lost my mom when I was four."
"Ah!?" Wang's mother looked at Gu Yang with utter astonishment.
"Aiya, Mom, let's just eat! Why are you asking about everything?"
Wang's mother gave an awkward laugh. "Right, right. Gu Yang, is it? How about Auntie calls you Xiaoyang?"
"Okay!" Gu Yang spoke in clipped, single-syllable bursts.
Wang Chenxi smoothed things over. "Mom, Gu Yang is just that kind of personality!"
Wang's mother nodded, her curiosity toward Gu Yang growing inside her heart.
This tall boy had a good temperament.
What was even more commendable was that upon arriving at such a luxurious villa,
he hadn't shown a shred of awkwardness or discomfort.
His expression had remained completely composed the entire time.
Judging by this, the child either had a fine character and upbringing, or he was knowledgeable, worldly, and possessed an extraordinary vision.
After finishing their meal, the three of them sat on the living room sofa to chat.
Gu Yang wanted to leave, but Wang Chenxi was hugging her mother, Wang Qian, and talking about what had happened today.
He could only quietly sit to the side and wait.
The name Wang's mother had slipped out earlier when the mother and daughter were bantering.
"Oh? Then we really must thank young Xiaoyang properly.
And Xiaoyang's father—things even escalated to the police station, why didn't you call me?"
