Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Li Chen raised his brows. He was not depressed nor delighted. He gradually walked closer to Yun An. When Yun An was saying all of this, he shut his eyes, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He stood in front of him, and he never opened his eyes to sneak a peek.

Li Chen knew that Yun An was speaking truthfully. For a period of time, Yun An did not love him. He loved the feeling of him.

As Yun An was too depressed at the moment, he had already lost his goals in life. So, he put on Gu Yuanan’s perfume and used the toiletries that Gu Yuanan used. He spoke like Gu Yuanan… There were many things that could not be faked as long as he treated another person truthfully. He had to help Yun An out of the darkness, and that was the only way.

Fortunately, he really pulled him out of the darkness.

Yun An relied on him a lot and had a lot of nostalgia about him. That time, his drug abuse was really bad. To stop using drugs, he had to attend a drug rehabilitation center alone. Yun An refused to do so. He did not want to leave him at all. So, Li Chen joined in and accompanied him to quit abusing drugs.

He took one year to bring a proper and warm Yun An back to life. He took him out from hell and back into the mortal world to live a purposeful life again. He watched as his life became even livelier, and he watched as he found the passion for his career and as he treated life more seriously.

He had always been a person who loved life and knew how to live a good life.

The only bad thing was that Yun An had too much nostalgia for him. He knew it very clearly deep down that this nostalgia was because of Gu Yuanan and not Li Chen. This was also a kind of sickness.

He quit abusing drugs, yet he could not stop being addicted to Gu Yuanan.

Slowly, he stopped using Gu Yuanan’s perfume and gradually began to live as Li Chen. He stopped eating what Gu Yuanan loved to eat and stopped liking the colors and movies that Gu Yuanan loved.

In the beginning, Yun An was in denial of it. He got angry and furious, and he resisted it. They fought until he could slowly accept it. Then, he took another one year before Yun An gradually accepted that Li Chen was Li Chen and not Gu Yuanan.

However, they knew all about this in their hearts. They just never spoke of it. No one had taken the first step to speak up truthfully about it, and things just developed so naturally. Slowly, he began to accept everything about Li Chen.

To allow Yun An to treat life passionately again and to fit into society again, he used up a lot of his patience and niceness.

Yun An said, “Afterward, I really fell in love with you. I didn’t care if you were Brother Gu or Li Chen. I liked you seriously, and I loved you with all my heart. On one hand, I felt sorry for Brother Gu, while at the same time, I really enjoyed your tenderness, your care, and your love. I felt like a sinner, but I am willing to feel it. I have locked all the memories of Brother Gu in the attic. For so many years, you have always known that I have him in my heart. You never spoke of it. I thought that at least you loved me, but you don’t. Since you didn’t love me, why did you do so much for me in the beginning? You liked him so much to the point that you were willing to sacrifice so much for a stranger, a love rival like me. You even quit abusing drugs with me. How much do you love him that you would be willing to sacrifice this way?”

“Li Chen, I am really so tired. You don’t love me, but why is it that when I look into your eyes, I feel like we have known each other for long. You seem to have loved me for years and are willing to sacrifice anything for me. Who… exactly are you?”

The street lamp shone on his face. There was a faint light reflecting off his face, and tears streamed down his face. “Are you a person or a ghost? Has Big Brother Gu’s spirit used your body to return to me?”
