Become a one-time character in a comic

"Son, it's time to end your game."

A man in a sophisticated suit sat on an office chair, one hand on the armrest, an evil smile on his face, his eyes half-opened and half-raised as he looked through the screen at Gu Mingxing, who looked very similar to him.

Gu Mingxing not only had no expression on his face when facing his father, but his eyes were even cold: "Didn't you promise me that you would let me finish my second year of high school?"

Gu Zong changed his hand to support himself, tilted his head, smiled faintly, and looked at him with his eyelids fluttering slightly: "I broke my promise on this point, so in order to make up for breaking my promise as a father, I will reduce the difficulty of your training."

Reduce the difficulty a little? Gu Mingxing couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If the difficulty was not reduced, the training would be enough to kill him. What's the point of reducing it a little? If he didn't pay attention, he would die in the training.

Gu Mingxing looked at Gu Zong, who had no feelings for him, and all he could do was move his lips and say, "I want to finish my second year of high school."

“Hahahahaha!” Gu Zong saw that his son’s eyes were determined. His son actually wanted to finish his second year of high school. This was the biggest joke he had heard in recent days: “You are not from that world, son. There is no point in playing inappropriate games.”

Gu Zong found that after he said this, his son with cold eyes actually showed a hint of anger. He touched his chin and asked with interest: "Is there anyone who wants you to continue studying? My son has found a girlfriend?"

"No, I just don't want to go down that road so early."

"You've learned how to tell jokes recently," Gu Zong looked at him sharply and said, "You were originally on this path, and you've already walked this path, but now you say you don't want to walk this path so early. Son, you're pretty good at telling jokes."

Gu Mingxing, who seemed expressionless, had already gnashed his teeth. Gu Zong gave the order directly: "Come back a week later for training. Since I broke my promise, I will lighten my punishment."

After saying this, Gu Zong turned off the video. Those words were unquestionable and irresistible.

The driver looked at Gu Mingxing's arms, veins bulging as he clenched his fists.

There was no light on in the study, only a little light coming through the window. The originally dim space was changed because the human eye is adaptable to darkness, and everything can be seen clearly.

After a long while, Gu Mingxing seemed to accept the reality and said calmly, "Prepare for the withdrawal procedures. I won't go to school these days, and don't worry about me."

"Yes……"

The driver opened the study door and left the unlit room.

Gu Mingxing slumped in his office chair, resting his head on the backrest and closing his eyes. Everything in front of him was completely dark. He didn't want to do anything, didn't want to feel anything, didn't want to think about anything...

Gu Mingxing fell asleep at some point and he went back to the dream. It was the same chess table again, but this time the woman was not there. There was only a man standing there, staring at the chess table.

Gu Mingxing didn't know why he walked beside the man without any doubt. The man said, "She is dealing with something now and will be here soon."

"who are you?"

The man smiled gently and said, "Gods are also mortals."

Gu Mingxing found it funny and sneered a few times: "You told a joke."

"You're a bit like your father."

Gu Mingxing frowned and looked at the man and asked, "You know about me?!"

The man tilted his head slightly to look at him and said, "Of course, the world you and Yu Xiaoan live in was created by her and me."

Before Gu Mingxing could question him again, he was interrupted by a brisk voice.

"Ah? You're all here," the woman appeared from behind them and walked quickly onto the chessboard. "Why are you standing there? Do you think you look taller?"

When the man saw the woman, a sincere smile appeared on his face. He listened to the woman and sat on the chess table. Gu Mingxing didn't expect that he would also sit on the chess table obediently.

The woman poured tea and said, "No chess today." She placed a cup of tea in front of Gu Mingxing and said, "I came here to let you live."

"what?"

After the woman gave Gu Mingxing the tea, she withdrew her hand. The man didn't care that she didn't give him tea. He reached out to take the other cup of tea she poured. As soon as he reached out his hand, the woman took the other cup of tea in her hand. The man was a little shocked and poured himself a cup of tea.

After noticing that the man poured himself some tea, the woman put down the cup and continued to say to Gu Mingxing, "You want to go to your father. This is a passive choice you have no choice but to make, but you don't have any desire to live..."

Gu Mingxing's eyelids trembled, and the woman looked at him straight and said, "She needs you."

? !

Yu Xiaoan's figure instantly appeared in Gu Mingxing's mind. He recalled everything between him and Yu Xiaoan. Memories were like lanterns with the light turned on. The light passed through the hollow space and projected the beauty into his eyes, sparkling brightly.

The woman sipped the tea she had made. She put the empty cup on the table and the man instantly filled her cup. The woman saw it but said nothing.

Gu Mingxing was silent for a long time, then asked, "Why did she... come to this world? I don't believe the reason you gave me before."

The woman fell silent, and he looked at her without saying a word.

When the man saw Gu Mingxing looking at the woman, he instantly conjured up a fan and held it across Gu Mingxing's eyes, blocking his sight: "Then let me tell you."

The man glanced at the woman, and she remained silent, as if she approved of his behavior.

"Everything in the world has its own destiny, but the destinies of people are intertwined, which is what you mortals often call 'the matchmaker ties the red thread'. The matchmaker only ties the thread of fate, the thread of destiny..."

"Okay," the woman interrupted the man, "Your Highness, there is no need to say more. He won't remember anything when he wakes up."

Gu Mingxing waved his hand and said, "Since you don't remember, why don't you finish speaking."

The woman was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to know? Even if it's a very sad thing?"

"Ah."

The woman raised her hand and tapped his forehead. Gu Mingxing froze instantly, not because his body was frozen, but because a large number of fragments entered his mind.

The man looked at Gu Mingxing who was frozen, then looked at the woman: "Are you okay?"

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, why do you care about me? If I do this, you will be in trouble."

The man said disapprovingly: "Mortals cannot know about past lives, but he is here in the form of a dream, so he is not considered a human."

The woman chuckled and said, "Am I considered arrogant because of my favor?"

"I'm glad you think so," the man looked at her tenderly and asked, "So are you willing to marry me?"

The woman's smile froze on her face, and it became a fake smile: "If you don't want to, just think of it as a favor I owe Your Highness. I will pay it back as soon as possible."

"Then pay it back today."

The woman asked in confusion: "Why?"

"The jasmine flowers need watering. You are their owner, shouldn't you go and check on them?"

The woman looked at him speechlessly: "Your Highness always pushes me into the fire unintentionally. Do you really like me?"

"I don't like it," the man said gently but seriously, "It has to be you."

"Your Highness should be shown your current state by other fairies. They will probably fall in love with you even more."

His Highness looked at her tenderly, with a gleam in his eyes and the corners of his mouth rising.

Of course women know how men look when they look at them, but they just pretend not to see it.

After a long time, Gu Mingxing finally responded. He remained silent, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, his eyes were dull, and he sat there blankly.

The woman poured out the cold tea in his cup and poured him a new cup of tea: "Don't dwell on the past. It was just a cause. The present you will have the result."

"Thank you," Gu Mingxing really thanked her, but he was not in the mood to express his gratitude properly.

"Let's go back."

After Gu Mingxing returned, the man looked at the woman and asked, "When are you going to water the jasmine flowers?"

"No, the flowers were planted by Your Highness, so Your Highness should water them. I am just a fairy, Your Highness, why do you have to embarrass me?"

The man took out a wine jug from behind and placed it in front of her: "Two jugs of the Meihuahan you asked for."

The woman happily picked up the wine jug and looked at it carefully: "I haven't seen this for a long time. Thank you, Your Highness. Next time you come, I will collect nectar for you."

The man looked at her lovingly and said gently, "Okay."

Gu Mingxing woke up from his dream. He felt a little discomfort in the corner of his eyes. He reached out to touch it and found that he was crying. He had no idea why he was crying.

The sunlight came into the study room without him noticing when, and he slept in the study room all night.

He walked lazily into the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror. He had a well-proportioned figure but now had a decadent temperament. He straightened his back to make himself look energetic, carefully looked at the stubble on his chin in the mirror, and after shaving it off with an electric shaver, he went to the cloakroom to choose a set of clothes, took a shower, and went out cleanly.

Gu Mingxing walked to the place where he met Yu Xiaoan last night. His intuition told him that Yu Xiaoan would appear here again.

Women's intuition is scary, and men's is no worse. Sure enough, Yu Xiaoan really appeared on this road, but she was in a hurry, talking on the phone while bending over, which looked a bit exaggerated. She only slowed down her movements after seeing Gu Mingxing.

"Manager, I will definitely complete the required performance in the next few days. I just had a little problem these days, and I will definitely adjust my status immediately... Hey... OK, OK, OK... Thank you for your concern... OK, OK, OK... Goodbye, Manager."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Mingxing in front of him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Yu Xiaoan pointed at his face and said, "My manager. I'm in sales now. My performance this week is not good. My manager called me and said that my attitude has been bad recently. I'm afraid he will fire me, so I'm trying my best."

Gu Mingxing followed her steps and walked beside her, looking at her and asked, "So what are the results of your efforts?"

"Oh~" Yu Xiaoan sighed in frustration and said, "No, I found that sales is not something that everyone can do. The way of speaking and facial expressions are very particular, and you also need to be able to adapt to changes, and remember a lot of details and data..."

"How much performance do you still need?"

Yu Xiaoan glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to make up for it for me?"

"Ah."

"Are you stupid and rich?" Yu Xiaoan said speechlessly: "You give me 2 sales, and I can only take % of it. Besides, the product quality is really not that good."

"I just want to help."

Yu Xiaoan thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to help me, give me a box of orange juice."

Gu Mingxing looked at her with a smile: "Okay, I'll go buy it now."

After he said that, he ran to a nearby convenience store to buy orange juice. Yu Xiaoan was just joking, but she didn't expect him to really go there. She stretched out her hand to hold him back, but it was too late.

Not long after, Gu Mingxing, panting but smiling, appeared in front of her with a box of orange juice: "Here, orange juice."

Yu Xiaoan looked at the box of orange juice in his hand and muttered quietly. Gu Mingxing didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Yu Xiaoan raised the volume: "I said, I can't joke around in front of you anymore, because you will take it seriously. Do you hear me now?"

Gu Mingxing chuckled: "I heard it, it doesn't matter if it's just a joke, I will do my best to make all your jokes come true."

"Then it's not a joke," Yu Xiaoan inserted the straw and asked, "But how did you appear here? I didn't contact you."

"I guessed it," Gu Mingxing said with some pride, "My intuition is still very accurate."

“Yo~” Yu Xiaoan looked at the smug expression on his face and said jokingly, “You’re still smug. Since your intuition is so accurate, guess how much sales I can achieve today.”

Gu Mingxing really took every one of her jokes seriously. He really put his chin in his hand and analyzed it carefully. Yu Xiaoan touched him with his arm and said, "It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously."

Yu Xiaoan finished his orange juice, threw the juice packaging into the trash can, and stretched himself: "I'm going to start working. If you're bored, just play around. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Gu Mingxing didn't want Yu Xiaoan to leave him, at least not now, so he quickly followed her: "I'll work with you."

"Okay, but don't talk."

"okay!"

Gu Mingxing watched Yu Xiaoan working. She was trying to please others by introducing the product to them. She was servile and fawning. Once, he snatched the product from her hand and said coldly and domineeringly, "Do you want it?"

This sentence angered the customer who was just trying to get Yu Xiaoan to give it away for free. The customer glanced at them angrily and said, "What kind of attitude is this? You're still doing sales with this attitude."

Gu Mingxing knew that what he did was wrong, but he couldn't stand seeing her trying to please him and still being bullied. At the same time, he realized that he had disturbed her work, and he suddenly panicked because he was afraid that Yu Xiaoan would be angry.

But Yu Xiaoan was not angry. Instead, he told him calmly, "The man just now wanted me to give him a set for free. This means that the product I have is of some value to him, but the value is not very high. If I give him a set and he thinks it is good, then he is a real customer of mine."

"But you..."

Yu Xiaoan smiled bitterly and said, "It's a bit humble, right? There's nothing I can do. In this line of work, you can't sit on an equal footing with your customers, and you can't look down on them. You can only look up, so that they won't feel tired when they see you, and your products will be sold."

Gu Mingxing lowered his head guiltily and asked, "Did I affect your performance?"

"That's not the case. Maybe the customer just wanted me to give him a set for free and had no intention of buying it. Maybe you helped me and saved me from losing money."

Yu Xiaoan pointed to the milk tea shop next to him and said, "Do you want to drink anything? You've been with me for so long, I'll buy you a drink."
