Chapter 12: Lucky “Has Brother Sui met the right person…

These days, Gu Sui had nothing to do at home, so he planned how he could win back his ex-girlfriend.

Gu Tingsong was worried that he would become like before if he stayed cooped up at home all day, so she advised him.

“Son, you should go out and interact with people your age. Look at these invitations from the mansions, if you see any you like, go and make more friends.”

Gu Sui flipped through the exquisitely crafted invitations that were scented with floral fragrance.

Snow Appreciation Banquet at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Tea Tasting Banquet at the Minister’s Mansion, Hairpin Flower Banquet at the Yujun Mansion…

Gu Sui wanted to say something but stopped. He vaguely felt that he had seen the people from these mansions at Jade Dew House before, hadn’t he?

His mother probably wanted him to meet other outstanding women in addition to making more friends, so that he would forget about Mu Jiulu.

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

The lazy youth had a pair of gentle peach blossom eyes and a clear voice, making Gu Tingsong dazed for a moment.

The current Suizhi, compared to his cold demeanor in the past, his every frown and smile was exactly like his father’s when he was young.

Alas, if Suizhi had been so caring and understanding when he was little, he wouldn’t have been so depressed and passed away so early.

“What’s wrong, Mother?”

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

“It’s nothing, Mother was just thinking 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, Mother won’t force you. But tomorrow is Young Master Li’s birthday banquet. He used to be close with you, so you should go to this one.”

“But I don’t know him now. Won’t this cause an accident?”

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

“It doesn’t matter, Suizhi can just get to know him again.”

Gu Sui was shocked. It was that casual?

Gu Tingsong continued, “You don’t need to be afraid. With Mother here, you can walk horizontally in the capital without any problems. You can make friends with whoever you like, without having to be hypocritical with people.”

She didn’t know why, but since Suizhi forgot his past, that coldness had disappeared. However, she always felt that he was a bit timid.

How could this be?

Gu Sui lowered his eyes, his five fingers curling slightly, and a warmth welled up in his heart.

This was a feeling he never experienced with Gu Shi.

“I don’t want to cause trouble for Mother.”

Gu Sui said softly. Upon hearing this, Gu Tingsong lightly tapped his head with her finger and joked.

“What bigger trouble can you cause than the Regent King? Don’t worry, Mother can solve it all.”

Gu Sui: “……”

Come to think of it, since he came here, he didn’t want to have any contact with anyone outside the Gu family, but Mu Jiulu was an exception.

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

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

*

Due to his personality, Gu Suizhi had few friends since childhood. Young Master Li Fuyu could be considered his only good friend.

Li Fuyu was outgoing and straightforward. When they were young, he was once saved by Gu Suizhi when he encountered bad people outside, and the two became friends because of this.

Gu Suizhi only helped because he couldn’t stand injustice, but Li Fuyu remembered him in his heart from then on.

He didn’t mind his coldness at all. When Gu Suizhi was still in the capital, he would often go to the General’s Mansion for no reason.

He would either lie on the stone table and watch Gu Suizhi practice his swordsmanship, or chatter and tell him about the storybooks he had secretly read.

Gu Suizhi didn’t drive him away either. As time passed, even Gu Tingsong became familiar with this Young Master Li and let him come and play often.

Later, Gu Suizhi went to the frontier, and Li Fuyu didn’t see him much after that, until this birthday banquet.

“Brother Sui, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. I’m so happy you could come!”

The young man with a clear and handsome appearance, dressed in a fur-collared jacket, said happily. Gu Sui handed over the birthday gift that the mansion had prepared in advance.

“Brother Sui, you sent this to me? I must keep it well.”

“Happy birthday.”

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

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

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

Gu Sui: “……”

This scene seemed familiar.

Fortunately, Li Fuyu was just very happy and didn’t intend to probe further, so Gu Sui was spared an explanation.

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

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