Scheming white lotus(4.10) - Don't do such meaningless stuff like this again

---

At the end of the year, a few of Gu Hai Sheng's properties came under investigation. Afraid that Shen Ze might do something, Xiang Han watched him like a hawk.

However, in reality, Shen Ze had been nothing but honest since school break started. He stayed at home everyday, and if he wasn't reading, he would be sleeping. It was as if his whole person had changed.

Xiang Han was curious and couldn't resist asking, "About that, aren't you worried about Mr. Gu anymore?"

"I'm worried." Shen Ze reclined on the sofa while his fingers flipped the pages of a textbook.

"Oh." Xiang Han nodded, seemingly deep in thought. "But recently, you never ask about him anymore."

Shen Ze didn't even look up, "If, even the old geezer can't do anything, I'll only be adding more trouble by asking."

Xiang Han couldn't help but become even more surprised, and secretly thought to himself, Shen Ze had become smarter, it was indeed completely different from the original plot.

"Actually... you need not worry too much. Last time I heard, Mr Gu and Mr Lin are childhood sweethearts, he'll definitely help him." Xiang Han tried to comfort him.

The original storyline started after Gu Hai Sheng was released from jail and a death occurred at a bar under his name. Lin Rui Qing had been sent to investigate, causing them to reunite and deepen their sentiments through mutual cooperation. But the script had established that both of them knew each other from school, and were even neighbours.

There were a few times where Gu Hai Sheng's sentence was lightened due to Lin Rui Qing's intervention. However, where Lin Rui Qing still treated him as a good friend, Gu Hai Sheng had already been holding a torch for him ever since high school.

After hearing his words, Shen Ze's fingers lingered on the page for a while before looking up carelessly, "Childhood sweethearts is used to describe a couple."

"This is not the point." Xiang Han pursed his lips.

Shen Ze continued, "Mr Lin has gone on a business trip and will come back only after some time."

"How did you know?" Xiang Han asked in surprise. Hadn't he always been at home, and he hadn't seen him ask anything either.

Shen Ze didn't reply, only shaking his head. "Brother Gu won't allow Mr Lin to be implicated by this matter, he probably likes Mr Lin."

"How can you tell?" Xiang Han was even more surprised.

In the original story, Gu Yan Sheng had been secretly crushing for a long time, suppressing his feelings for over ten years before having a dog's courage to confess.

"How could I not tell?" Lowering his head, his gaze was fixed on the words, 'childhood sweethearts' for a moment before flipping the page.

Tsk, look at you! Xiang Han deliberately asked, "Then, can you tell who I like?"

Shen Ze snorted without even looking up. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Some things are impossible, so you'd better stop dreaming."

"What things?" Xiang Han asked in confusion.

"You're the clearest on it," Shen Ze said, the implication clear in his tone.

Xiang Han was even more confused now, unable to obtain an answer even after wracking his brains for a good half day, and decided to give up. Taking out his phone, he asked, "Oh right, what should we have for lunch today?"
