Synopsis:

Chu Yu: I will not like you, so please do not disturb me.

Bai Yu'an: Can I love you then?

Chu Yu: Huh, are you doing this on purpose?

Bai Yu'an: ......

Later on, whenever Chu Yu was happy

Bai Yu'an: Can I love you today?

- What about today? Can it work today?

Bai Yu'an:

He was born lowly. If people were able to choose their birth, who would willingly choose to be a bastard child?

He works in the entertainment industry and has always been marginalized due to his poor background. He never shared with anyone the grievances he suffered, even when he first started as an extra and only earned 30 yuan after a long day of hard work. Just when his career was finally starting to take off and he could start getting serious roles, his father threatened him with his mother's life, forcing him to marry a stranger.

The heart that had already died suddenly started beating again at the sight of that man. It was the man he had seen when he was young. He was overjoyed and wanted to recognize him, but his father threatened him to keep his mouth shut.

However, it seems that he doesn't really like him, maybe even... somewhat repulsed. He doesn't let himself like him, doesn't let himself love him, he feels sad but can't speak the truth. He can only softly ask a question whenever he sees the other person's mood gradually improving, "Can I love you today..." I don't ask for much, just one day will do, in this day... could you also love me a little, please?

He had thought that deep affection would be reciprocated with the same depth of affection, but he was mistaken.

What I finally obtained was just a divorce agreement on paper.

Chu Yu:

When they got married, he made it clear to that person. He said, "I won't love you, and you better not love me either. Our marriage is just a worthless book, so don't try to use our family's power to do any tricks..."

He made it very clear that if he didn't leave a shred of dignity for him, he would be completely devastated. But that person, surprisingly, stared at him with pleading eyes and asked, "Can I still love you?"

He laughed mockingly. He had been played by someone, married the wrong person, so naturally, he would not have a good expression towards him. Just one year after marrying this man, the person he loved finally agreed to be with him, and he tried every means to get rid of that man. That man did not cry or make a scene in front of him but had red eyes and tears streaming down his face when he turned away.

He inexplicably felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, yet he refused to admit it. It wasn't until he was on the verge of death that he realized he had been loving the wrong person all along. The little boy from his memories turned out to be the silent and boring man who had quietly accompanied him for a year. The man who always pitifully asked him, "Can I love you today?"

He never knew that he had already loved him for so many years, and he also didn't know that the boy who used to be stubborn and rarely spoke was the man in front of him now.

Time rewound, and this time, he wouldn't let that man ask such heartbreaking questions again. He only wanted to treat him well, to love him deeply.

Chapter 1: Scum Top's Rebirth, Searching for Love

Chu Yu only realized on his deathbed that he had loved the wrong person. The one he had been searching for all along was actually the man whom he had always despised and detested. The man whom he married and had never once shown any kindness towards.

He still remembered how that man always gazed at him with a pair of eyes filled with deep affection. Wherever he went, as long as that man was by his side, he could feel the scorching gaze, as if it could burn people.

He knew, he always knew, but he had never turned around to look at him.

He didn't know why that man would like him so much. It was clearly just a ridiculous marriage mix-up, and the person he wanted to marry wasn't him. How could he like him so much?

At first, he thought that the man wanted to use their family's influence to elevate his own status, but he was wrong.

He had overestimated him. That foolish man could only secretly watch him from a distance with those moist eyes of his.

The man always liked to ask him the same question, and he always did it when he was happy.

He asked him, "Today... can I love you?"

He was impatient. Every time, he would furrow his brows and ignore it. But that man would tirelessly keep on asking him, as if he was carrying out some daily task. Little did he know, he was just relying on luck.

The man often wondered, thinking to himself, "If she asks me every day, maybe today I'll finally agree."

What a humble and heart-wrenching thought, as if the meekness has fallen into the dust, as if it would shatter with the slightest touch.

In the year they were together, many things happened. At first, the man was lively and active, always doing things for her. Although she never took those things seriously or cherished them, he still did them happily.

It had been like this for over half a year, never interrupted. Until he encountered him with another man and told him about their relationship, things began to change between them.

That man will no longer walk quietly behind him to watch him, nor will he ask him those annoying questions anymore. He will only occasionally take a glance at him from a distance, avoiding the awkwardness of their encounters.

Later on, he placed a divorce certificate in front of him. Without saying a word, he tightened his lips and signed his name. The last words he left behind were, "I wish you happiness."

He had thought that he no longer loved him, but unexpectedly, when that man turned his head, he saw the movement of his hand and noticed his shoulders trembling ever so slightly, just like what they had seen on their first night together after getting married.

I don't know what he was doing.

In the end, he was manipulated to death by his so-called "beloved" and only then did he realize that all of this was planned by his supposed love interest and his father. It turned out that the man in his family was the one he had been searching for many years.

He was fortunate enough to have the chance to start life again. His biggest regret was never turning back when that person loved him.

This time, he simply wanted to switch roles and be the one who did everything, to be the one who loved him, pursued him, and protected him.

Chu Yu had never imagined that he would be reborn, let alone have the chance to spend the rest of his life with Bai Yu'an.

Opening his eyes, what met his gaze was a crystal chandelier shining above. He was sitting in a spacious swivel chair, seemingly asleep with his back against the chair. A wave of soreness came from his neck, causing him to gasp in pain.

On his desk lay the unfinished documents, and on the other side, it seemed that there was a contract he had just signed. All of these were things that could only be touched while alive.

Chu Yu suddenly regained his senses and anxiously opened the contract on his right side. He hastily flipped through the pages, until the contract stopped at the last sheet of paper. Below his name, there was a line of date written.

October 18, 2089.

Thoughts raced through his mind like scenes in a movie, flooding his consciousness. It was only then that he realized – it was two years ago!

Now, it has already been half a year since he married Bai Yu'an.

Before he had a chance to think any further, there was a knock on the office door. His secretary, Wang Ze, walked in.

"Mr. Chu, the flight to England has been booked, and the itinerary has been arranged. You can..."

"Where is Bai Yu'an?" Chu Yuwei couldn't wait to interrupt the other party before they could finish speaking.

"Mr. Bai... Mr. Bai, in S City, you just returned from there the day before yesterday. Have you forgotten?" With a strange look on his face, the man stared at Chu Yu today, as if he didn't quite understand. Their General Chu wasn't usually forgetful like this.

"S City... S City... Book me a ticket to S City, the fastest flight available, hurry!"

"Okay...Okay, Mr. Chu, I'll go right away." Wang Ze thought something urgent had happened, so he hurriedly agreed and turned to leave.

He thought that if someone like Chu would suddenly undergo such a drastic change, then something big must have happened. Little did he know, the truth was not what he had imagined.
