Chapter 1074: Extra: Twins

Editor: Atlas Studios

On the Director’s private plane back to Jijing Island, Elder Bai and Huo Zhi exchanged a glance with each other before shifting their gazes to the seat at the corner.

There, Gu Hui quietly sat alone, his black outfit making his skin look ghastly pale. He didn’t move his mask nor his cap, and the brim of which hid most of his eyes. His head was turned to the side as if he were looking out of the plane window.

Although he was of the same age as his twin brother, the auras they exuded were completely different. Gu Si was usually arrogant, wild, unconventional, and strong-minded, but when he got angry, there would be a smile on his face the majority of the time. He would be smiling even when he was feeling murderous.

Gu Hui, however, was different. He had an air of gloominess and cold, repressive hostility around him. The murderous aura he exuded was even thicker than that of Base 102’s secret guards and mercenaries. The way he seemed as if he would hurt someone at any moment made him stick out like a sore thumb and look unapproachable.

When Gu Hui said that he wanted to go back to Jijing Island instead of following Gu Mang, Elder Bai thought that she would come and talk to him about the boy. But she didn’t. She didn’t tell them to watch out or be wary of him. In spite of that, Huo Zhi and Elder Bai instinctively raised their guards against him.

The boy was brought up by Xu Ying, after all. Since childhood, he had been indoctrinated that he was abandoned by the Gu family, that nobody remembered him, and that he wouldn’t even have a tomb when he died. It was like he didn’t even have the right to live. Having grown up in such an environment, it was only natural that he would become very extreme. His antisocial personality could easily get him into trouble.

According to Gu Si, who had sparred with Gu Hui before, the latter had some sick skills and wasn’t inferior to him in terms of combat skills. It hadn’t been easy for him to seize the chance to make Gu Hui pass out. In his haste, he didn’t pay attention to his force when he injected the needle, and that was what caused the needle to break. If it wasn’t because it had been some time since he started learning medicine from his sister and that he had become well-versed with the weaknesses of the human body, there was no telling who would’ve emerged as the victor of the fight.

Huo Zhi had conducted a psychological assessment on Gu Hui, and the results didn’t come out well. Based on the results, the latter was very dangerous.

Because of all those reasons, Elder Bai—even without Gu Mang’s instruction—thus inwardly treated Gu Hui as an outsider and raised his guard against him.

There were actually two reasons why Gu Hui had chosen to go back to Jijing Island, with the first being that he was truly afraid of Gu Mang and didn’t dare to go back to the capital with her. He wasn’t stupid. He could tell that she had a large role to play in Xu Ying’s captivity by The Gray Building.

Even if Xu Ying managed to escape the death sentence, he could forget about leaving The Gray Building’s supermax prison alive. Despite having planned for so long and even colluding with Country D’s President’s House, Xu Ying, who thought his plan was thorough and flawless, was ultimately uprooted by Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou. It happened so effortlessly that one could just imagine how terrifying their influence was.

Gu Hui felt that he didn’t have the ability to stand against Gu Mang—for now at least.

The second reason was that Gu Si was very friendly toward him, and he could sense that the former was being sincere. Although he hated Gu Si’s friendliness, it still beat having to stay by Gu Mang’s side and being constantly worried about getting punished. That was why he would rather go back to Jijing Island. At the very least, his twin brother had some patience for him, which their sister apparently didn’t have.

Gu Hui slowly got lost in his thoughts as he pondered what he was going to do after returning to Jijing Island when a can of Wangzai milk suddenly appeared in front of him, much to his surprise and confusion.

"Here." Gu Si lifted his hand—an indication for Gu Hui to take the milk.

Gu Hui’s gaze landed on the hand which was holding onto the red can. There was a tiny red mole on that thumb in the exact same position as his. We’re really like a mirror reflection of each other. However, our lives are completely different. He’s far luckier than me. In order to save him, the Bai family didn’t hesitate to sacrifice so many of their people, even at the expense of their status. It was because of that that they fell from grace and became the weakest among the four major families.

The thought that so many people were willing to risk their lives for his twin, yet nobody cared to save him made Gu Hui’s eyes dim in gloominess. He ignored Gu Si and directed his gaze back to the window to look at the endless clouds.

Tch, it’s only been a few days since he learned about my existence, yet he’s treating me like his real brother. He’s being ridiculous. Even Elder Bai and Huo Zhi are wary of me. I know he can’t tell. He’s so smart that he knew that I was going to pass myself off as him at the President’s House. He even went along with the plan and deliberately fought with me. His acting was so real that even Xu Ying was fooled.

Given his IQ level, there’s no way that he can’t tell that I’m only going back to Jijing Island because I didn’t have a choice. I don’t have any good feelings about that place. I even hate it. That’s the place where I was abandoned like trash and treated as if I had never existed.

Seeing that Gu Hui refused to take the milk from him, Gu Si hooked a finger around the ring and pulled it back to open the can. He then placed the can on the table in front of Gu Hui, squeezed into the seat next to him, and put an arm around his shoulders. "I’ve told Sis that I’d be your big brother from today onwards. Call me ’Big Brother’, and I’ll protect you from now on."

Gu Hui looked sideways with a deadpan expression in his cold, arrogant, and deep eyes. That fleeting glance, however, was filled with disdain and contempt. Gu Si could practically see the word ’idiot’ in his eyes.

As Gu Si had always been the one mocking others and had never been despised before. He frowned and narrowed his eyes. "What’s with that look?"

"If you have nowhere to place your arm, I don’t mind helping you to chop it off." Gu Hui’s frigid voice rang out from behind his black mask, and hostility could be seen on his slightly youthful face.

Gu Si glanced at the arm around his twin’s shoulders but didn’t shift it in the end. Instead, he looked at Gu Hui seriously and told him off, "You can’t talk to me in this manner. I’m your elder brother! Don’t you know that an elder brother’s responsibilities are as heavy as a father’s? You’re being disrespectful here!"

Gu Hui pursed his lips before speaking through clenched teeth, "Don’t make me punch you."

"Don’t make me poke you." Gu Si lifted his chin in reference to how the other had lost the fight back at the President’s House because of a needle.

Huo Zhi and Elder Bai couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw how Gu Hui had gone silent. Although the latter was glaring at his twin, he had held back his anger.

Gu Hui had been keeping a very low profile the past few days. He didn’t talk, and he always ate alone. He refused to make contact with anyone, and he remained stoic throughout.

Even so, they knew that they couldn’t treat Gu Hui as an ordinary kid or let their guard drop around him since his prowess was on par with Gu Si. They just thought that it was rare to see him revealing his emotions.

"Just you wait," spat Gu Hui after a long time. After that, he brushed off Gu Si’s arm and turned to face the window again.

"Wait for what?" Gu Si teased and then rested his elbow on the table to prop his face up. His body was tilted to face Gu Hui. "Wait until you’ve mastered acupuncture?"

Gu Hui gloomily said, "My last name isn’t Gu if I don’t get back at you for this."

"Gu, huh?" Hints of amusement twinkled in Gu Si’s eyes. "So you admit that your last name is Gu and that I’m your elder brother?"

Gu Hui pursed his lips, his voice sounding slightly awkward as he said, "That was a mistake. I mean, my last name isn’t Xu if I don’t get back at you for this."

Gu Si raised his eyebrows at that. "But your last name isn’t Xu in the first place."

Being the taciturn person that he was, Gu Hui couldn’t out-talk Gu Si at all, so he chose to ignore him instead.

Things became silent for a while, and everyone on the plane moved around quietly.

Gu Si pushed the can of Wangzai milk toward Gu Hui. "Don’t get mad. Here, drink some milk to cool yourself down."

When Gu Hui didn’t respond to him, he smiled and spoke like an adult. "Well, if you want to learn acupuncture, I can always teach you."

"Get lost."

"Tch, why are you so foul-tempered? You were so obedient in front of Sis, yet you’re always acting so arrogantly when it comes to me. Isn’t it because I treat you well?" Gu Si sighed as he reached for the neatly folded white napkin on the table and shook it open.

Having his inner thoughts exposed, Gu Hui’s eyes quivered a little as he pursed his lips and instinctively turned his head to say something in his defense. However, he noticed that Gu Si seemed to be looking for something on the table.

It seemed that Gu Si couldn’t find what he was looking for because he got up, walked toward the table in front, and said to Tang Yi, "Tangtang, lend me your pen for a bit."

"Okay," responded Tang Yi sweetly before taking a pen out of her little black backpack and passing it to him.

Gu Si took the pen, went back to sit next to Gu Hui again, and then started drawing something on that white napkin.

Gu Hui furrowed his eyebrows slightly as his gaze unconsciously landed on the tip of the pen in Gu Si’s hand.

With a few simple and smooth lines, Gu Si managed to sketch out the outline of the human body on the white napkin in a clear, simple, and beautiful manner. He then moved on to add facial features, muscle lines, meridians, and veins.

From how fast he worked and how smooth his lines flowed, it seemed that he had drawn the human body countless times. The meridian system chart was the very medical drawing he had learned from his sister.

Gu Si drew out the diagram in one shot and then pushed the white napkin in between them. With his left hand propping his face and a leg crossed atop a knee, he lazily said, "Listen up, I’ll only say this one. The human body has twelve primary meridians and eight extraordinary meridians running through the various acupoints in the body. There are 365 acupoints in the twelve primary meridians. Including the ones in the eight extraordinary meridians, there’s a total of 720 acupoints in all; 52 single acupoints, 309 dual acupoints, 50 extraordinary acupoints. I’ll tell you the key points first..."

As he marked out the positions on the human body diagram, he didn’t look at Gu Hui nor pay attention to whether the latter was listening to him or not. He just continued explaining. "Of the 720 acupoints, 108 are vital points, of which 36 are lethal points. The lethal points are differentiated into numbing, dizzy, light, and heavy, with each having four points."
