Go Wild In His Paranoid Mind - Chapter 1
The upper left corner of the skylight was covered in a spider web, with drizzling rain floating on the web and small droplets of water dotted on the interwoven threads.
The beads converged along a skewed cobweb to the point where they clicked, dripping on the window frame and splashing out tiny stars.
Kneeling on the desk and chair, she stretched out her small arms and closed the window, preventing light rain from drifting into the room and wetting her calligraphy book.
She carefully wrote down the word “zheng” with every stroke.
Her handwriting was scattered and thin, like her thin bones; it almost seemed as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
She heard that the teachers in the city were strict with their students. Her handwriting wasn’t good, so she needed to hurry up and practice before the start of the new semester.
There was an argument between the aunt and the uncle outside the door.
“The boundary is so small; you have the heart to push her into the fire pit!”
“What fire pit? The Gu family is a good family, and most of the houses in Jiangcheng are built by Gu’s real estate. Sending her over is a way to enjoy happiness.”
“Enjoying happiness? Who doesn’t know their second young master is…”
Although he knew the wall had no ears, the fear that lingered in the hearts of the people of Jiangcheng all year round still made him deliberately lower his voice.
“Who doesn’t know he’s a monster?”
Aunt followed his words: “You also know that the second young master of the Gu family is a monster. Their family is asking for your own daughter. Are you willing to send Rongrong over?”
“Well, then we can’t send Bianbian over either!”
“One is my niece, and one is my daughter. How do you think I should choose?”
The conversation finally ended with a deep sigh from her uncle.
Bianbian knew that her fate had also been completely altered by this sigh.
……
The fact that the second young master of the Gu family was a monster was no secret in Jiangcheng.
The so-called monster in people’s mouths, without quotation marks, wasn’t a metaphor or modifier.
The nuclear disaster in Jiangcheng that year killed many people, but there was only one survivor named Gu Huaibi.
More than 10 days later, the last of the relief workers, dressed in radiation-proof clothing, rushed to the leak area for a final inspection. They were surprised to see a six-year-old crouching on a rock, looking at them indifferently.
The relief workers were stunned. There were no living creatures left in the entire leakage area, not even flying insects or animals. How on earth did this young man survive here alone for more than ten days without any protection?
This matter had been rumored to be extremely mysterious. Some people said that Mr. Gu had a genetic mutation, which helped him survive the nuclear radiation disaster;
Some people also said that young master Gu was possessed by a fierce ghost and was no longer a human.
What was more, when he crawled out, he was covered in brown hair, like a vicious beast.
The rumors were untruthful, but the only thing one could be sure of was that the young man wasn’t a normal person.
He was cold, withdrawn, vicious, and cruel, and he developed an occasional ailment. The appearance of his illness was quite terrifying, like that of a demon.
Few dared approach him.
These wealthy family members were more or less superstitious. Feng shui masters were required to look over the plan before they bought a house, and the naming of children was a matter of great expense.
The Gu family had no way to seek medical treatment, so they could only ask for the help of a master to see if there was any way to make him recover quickly.
Master Jin pointed to a residential building just to the north of the Gu family’s mansion and said that Master Gu’s noble helper was there and that as long as she was graceful and near him, Master Gu would be safe all his life.
His parents asked again, “What is the name of this noble girl? How old is she this year? What zodiac sign is she?”
The master said, “She is in the year of the cardamom. Other information cannot be disclosed, but I will give you sixteen words of advice. Remember it.”
“Master, please speak.”
The master pretended to pat the dust off him in a mysterious way: “My childhood sweetheart accompanys me day and night, never leaving or abandoning me, and I will have no worries in my life.”
The master left in suspense, then carried a high check and floated away in the dust.
So the Gu family’s parents locked onto this residential building, investigated and ruled it out one by one, and found thirteen year old Zheng Xiangrong and twelve year old Bianbian.
Zheng Xiangrong was the only daughter of her uncle and aunt, while Bianbian was their niece.
Bianbian’s mother got cancer when Bianbian was very young and passed away.
After the death of her mother, her father worked in another city for many years, so she grew up with her grandparents in a small town in the countryside.
There was no middle school in the town, so in the fifth grade of elementary school, Bianbian left her hometown and came to Jiangcheng to study. She temporarily stayed at her aunt’s house and lived a life of dependence.
As the head of the household, her aunt handled heavy household chores, so she had many complaints about this niece.
Bianbian wasn’t someone who came to seek refuge with them for free. Her father sent them a generous monthly living allowance.
These funds were transferred to her aunt’s account and almost supported half of the Zheng family, which was why they agreed to accept the young Bianbian.
Her aunt’s house had an 80-square-meter residential building in the city center, which was too crowded to accommodate this family of four over time.
As her aunt’s resentment grew, the Gu family came to the Zheng family’s door to explain their intention, hoping to keep their daughter for a while to get to know their second young master, and then she’d be returned to the Zheng family.
As long as the children knew each other, they could study together to cultivate their emotions, grow up together, and form a good relationship. At the same time, they could also protect young Master Gu’s integrity.
But the aunt had a plan in her heart.
Although the Gu family didn’t know what it meant, if it saved the life of the second young master, they would give them a large thank-you fee.
Everyone in Jiangcheng said that the second young master Gu was a genetically mutated monster who drank blood and that anyone who stayed with him would lose their life.
After all, how many people died in the disaster back then? How could that child have managed to crawl out of the pile of corpses and still be a normal person?
Unable to send her precious daughter to suffer, the aunt concocted a plan to send her away.
Firstly, it solved the problem of overcrowding at home, and secondly…
Her daughter Zheng Xiangrong’s tuition and living expenses for attending a prestigious school had also been reduced during her junior high school year.
——
So, dragging a suitcase that was almost the same height as her, she left the Zheng family.
The uncle’s black Santana was already waiting at the intersection. Before getting in the car, she turned around and saw her cousin Zheng Xiangrong lying by the window on the second floor, smiling triumphantly at her.
Zheng Xiangrong was so happy because her mother said that she had been asked to work as a maid and that the family had paid enough money to pay for her studies at an exclusive high school.
Zheng Xiangrong had never liked Bianbian.
When Zheng Xiangrong found out that some young girl from the country was going to study in the city, she lost her temper and was laughed at by her classmates for not wanting to go to school with a bumpkin.
After her cousin entered the city, Zheng Xiangrong was shocked to discover that “country bumpkin” wasn’t dirty, but rather, she had clear-faced, snow-white skin, black hair as satin, and apricot eyes as beautiful as a forest elf.
The city girl’s sense of superiority was shattered when she saw her.
So the jealous, venomous snake spat out its message and occupied Zheng Xiangrong’s heart for years.
This time, being able to send Bianbian to work as a servant, Zheng Xiangrong suddenly felt a sense of “great revenge to be avenged.”
Hmph, even if you look more beautiful than me, you’re just a country bumpkin with only the life of a servant!
Zheng Xiangrong, driven by the mentality of a winner, finally had a bit of a sister-like appearance. Before she got in the car, she said earnestly by the side, “Learning can change the future. Even if you are a servant, don’t give up studying. At least you need to obtain a diploma from junior high school. Even if you go out to work in the future, you can’t be illiterate.”
Bianbian thanked Zheng Xiangrong and wished her all the best in attending the aristocratic school and making progress in her studies.
Along the way, the aunt anxiously reminded Bianbian: When you arrive at the Gu family, don’t act tacky; let people see at a glance that you are a wild girl from a small rural area, plain and annoying.
Seeing Bianbian’s reluctance, she even threatened, “If the Gu family sends you back, I won’t take you in again.”
So she nodded quietly.
The Gu family mansion was built in the middle of an alleyway in the city. The landscape of Wangfu Garden wasn’t remote, but it wasn’t noisy.
The Wangfu Garden was built a bit early, probably in the 1990s.
Back then, families lived in penthouse buildings; being able to own a family home with a small lake in the center of Jiangcheng was a sign of the family’s wealth.
The tube-shaped buildings around the Gu family’s mansion had been gradually demolished, and high-rise residential and office buildings had been built because this was a commercial area in the city center.
Only the Wangfu Garden had been preserved; it was quite eye-catching.
Under the gloomy sky, looking at the slightly old and gloomy mansion in front of her, she knew that her destined young man was standing in the deepest attic of the mansion, waiting for her.
——
The chairman and the wife of Gu Group waited at the door to greet them, as they showed how much they valued her arrival.
And Bianbian also knew that she came to the Gu family not to be a servant, as her cousin Zheng Xiangrong had said… On the contrary, her life at the Gu family may be much better than at the Zheng family.
The homemaker of the Gu family, Du Wanrou, was just like her name—a gentle woman. She led her hand into the house and personally took her on a tour of the garden.
Uncle and aunt, as well as Zheng Xiangrong, who insisted on coming, were also fortunate enough to visit the mansion in person.
After all, who didn’t want to go into this Wangfu garden to see the scenery and how the true generations of wealthy families lived in comfort?
If it weren’t for Bianbian, they would never have had the chance to step into this garden in their lifetime.
The Wangfu Garden was very large, with lush greenery. The flowers and plants along the road had been repaired neatly, and they dared not grow randomly. From the vegetation around, it could be seen that this was a family with rules.
Along the avenue was a small lake with a broad view. Several houses were scattered around the lake. The first one was the mansion of the Gu family’s parents, followed by a few children’s single family homes.
And Du Wanrou led Bianbian to the deepest mansion in the garden, saying that it was her room.
Looking unbelievably at this beautiful double-decker European house, this whole little bungalow is her “room.”?
Not just Bianbian; even her uncle and aunt were stunned, especially Zheng Xiangrong. She looked at this beautiful small western-style house and the beautiful flowers and plants in the garden, tightly gripping the corners of her clothes, and her fingers turned whiteNot just Bianbian; even her uncle and aunt were stunned, especially Zheng Xiangrong. She looked at this beautiful small western-style house and the beautiful flowers and plants in the garden, tightly gripping the corners of her clothes, and her fingers turned white.
It should have belonged to her.
Du Wanrou turned to Bianbian and said, “In the future, you and Huaibi will live in this house. If you have any needs, please let me know at any time. You don’t have to be bound by anything. Make this your own home, and if you want, you can treat me as your mother.”
Huaibi was the name of the second son of the Gu family.
Bianbian nodded earnestly.
And upon hearing these words, the aunt and uncle’s expressions were very complicated. They really thought she was coming over to be a servant for the Gu family.
Who knew that along the way, there were countless servants in the Gu family, and there was no need for her to do any rough work?
Bianbian was actually here to enjoy happiness!
They regretted it beyond their reach; if they had known, they would have sent their daughter Zheng Xiangrong over to live the life of a wealthy young lady.
