He himself, it seemed, had been one step behind Gu Zichen since birth, always a step late in everything.
He stayed in the family home in Shanghai, living with his parents around, yet never gaining their acknowledgement.
Later, Qi Lingfeng joined the family.
He wasn't born bad; he didn't intend to bully people from birth. He just wanted his parents to know that he wasn't stupid, he really was no less competent than Gu Zichen. Why was there such a big gap in their treatment towards him?!
He always endured quietly, disguising himself, pretending to be an obedient and sensible good child.
While Qi Lingfeng was at the Gu Family's home, he secretly coerced Qi Lingfeng into becoming a bad child, he forced Qi Lingfeng to not exceed him in academic grades; in everything, he just wanted to prove to his parents that he was the best, the most outstanding child.
The first time he saw Gu Yaoqi smiling at him was when he ranked third in his grade, while Qi Lingfeng ranked almost last.
