Become a one-time character in a comic

Gu Mingxing was holding a paper tube containing grilled skewers in his hand, with a few white plastic bags hooked on his fingers. Yu Xiaoan had nothing in his hand except the snacks he was eating.

The two walked on the road, taking a stroll while enjoying the river breeze.

Yu Xiaoan looked at the large and small things in his hands, most of which were what she wanted to eat. She reached out to take them, but Gu Mingxing raised his hand to prevent her from touching them.

"What do you want to eat?"

"No, I just want to bring it up myself."

Gu Mingxing just wouldn't let her bring it: "I'll bring it, and you can take whatever you want from my hand."

"But you have to eat too," Yu Xiaoan reached out again, "so I'll give you some too."

Gu Mingxing raised his hand again: "No, I can eat it this way."

Seeing his stubborn look, Yu Xiaoan did not ask her to bring more. She saw that the largest item in his hand was a paper tube containing grilled skewers.

"I want to eat kebabs."

Gu Mingxing handed her the paper tube containing the grilled skewers. When Yu Xiaoan saw that the paper tube was missing, Gu Mingxing had an empty hand.

Gu Mingxing's hands were a little empty, so he ate the snacks he bought.

While eating, Yu Xiaoan complained to him about what happened today, such as how after the male and female protagonists met, the male protagonist became the interviewer and the female protagonist became the interviewee, and that she had not met the big boss with the most shareholders all day, and that she had not found any information about the big boss on the Internet, and so on.

"I am the big boss."

Yu Xiaoan looked at him in disbelief, shook his head and said, "Impossible, I didn't even see your name, you are not among the shareholders."

"Is there one person who holds 85 percent of the shares?"

"Have you checked the company I'm working for now?"

Gu Mingxing pointed at himself and said, "I signed a contract with that person. The content of the contract is that I am the actual controller and he just has shares, so the company is basically mine."

Yu Xiaoan looked at him in shock. Gu Mingxing shrugged and said, "This kind of thing happens a lot in this circle, but most people like to hold the shares in their hands."

Yu Xiaoan suddenly remembered the game hall opened by his former driver that he had seen in the mall before: "Is the store opened by your former driver also yours?"

"Well, there is also a contract between him and me. I get 95 percent of the net income, and the rest is the funds he can use."

Yu Xiaoan jumped in front of him, blinked her big eyes and asked him: "Mr. Gu, do you think I am suitable to sign that contract with you?"

Gu Mingxing smiled and asked, "What name do you want to sign the contract under?"

After asking this question, Yu Xiaoan realized that she did not have a fixed body now. Even if she signed the name "Yu Xiaoan", her appearance would change, her fingerprints would change, and the contract would not be effective at all. Moreover, even if she agreed verbally, there would be no one to testify. This was not a beneficial condition for her at all.

"After I am myself, can Mr. Gu sign a contract with me?"

"Need not."

Yu Xiaoan looked at him disappointedly. Gu Mingxing said, "What's mine is yours. If you want, I can give you everything I have right now."

Yu Xiaoan threw the garbage into the trash can, rubbed his hands and asked, "Then Mr. Gu, can you give me 100 million so that I can quit my job and have fun?"

"No."

"You just said you could give me everything you have..."

Gu Mingxing looked at her gently and said, "When I said 'no' I didn't mean to reject you. One hundred million is too little. Just use my check to spend it."

He actually handed her a book of checks from his coat pocket, all signed, and she just had to write the amount.

"Mr. Gu is so domineering!" Yu Xiaoan pushed back the hand that handed her the check and said, "But I was just joking, I don't need it."

Gu Mingxing tore off a piece of paper and stuffed it into her hand, saying very generously: "Take it, buy whatever you want."

Yu Xiaoan liked it crazily: "Boss Gu, you are so domineering!"

She put the check away, patted her pocket, and then took the remaining snacks that belonged to her and were held by Gu Mingxing.

As she ate, she felt a little bored. Although the snacks were delicious, there were too many spices. It was inevitable that she would get sick of it if she ate too much at one time.

Gu Mingxing was enjoying the time he spent walking and eating with her.

"Is it my imagination?"

"Hmm?" Gu Mingxing threw the empty box in his hand into the trash can: "What's wrong?"

Yu Xiaoan tilted his head slightly to indicate, and whispered, "I feel like someone is following us..."

Gu Mingxing glanced sideways and saw something moving in the flower bed behind him out of the corner of his eye. It looked like the edge of someone's clothes.

He smiled gently and said, "Just a small fry."

Fishermen all know that they need to use large nets to catch fish because they want to let small fish go, lest the fish in the lake become extinct. Then the lake water, which was originally home to fish, will become a stagnant pool, devoid of any vitality.

Yu Xiaoan understood what he meant, and didn't intend to play dumb, so he asked, "Why are you keeping this little fish?"

Gu Mingxing did not directly tell her the purpose of keeping it, but asked her: "Do you want this little fish to live?"

Yu Xiaoan answered without hesitation: "I think she is not wrong. It is not her fault. It is too unfair for someone who knows nothing to be charged with a crime that has nothing to do with her. But I don't want my safety to be threatened, and I also don't want you to be in danger because of a small fish, even a little bit."

"Part of the reason I kept her was because of my parents."

"Your parents?"

Gu Mingxing nodded and said, "Her father is my uncle, in other words, my mother's brother. Many people know what my parents do. If they really make someone disappear, they will use that person to warn all the restless people. As long as she is still looking for her father, it means that her father is safe, which is like a signal light."

The evening breeze blew gently, ruffling Yu Xiaoan's hair. The leaves were rustling in the wind, and there seemed to be some kind of depressing smell in the wind.

Not far away, Qian Mengyao followed them secretly, but because of the distance, she couldn't hear what they were saying.

Under the street light, Yu Xiaoan looked at Gu Mingxing's face. He seemed to see a shallow scar on his chin. Yu Xiaoan knew that this was the scar left by the so-called training he had undergone.

Yu Xiaoan has been pretending to be stupid all along. The answer to something is right in front of her, but she has covered the answer with a layer of cloth with her own hands, so she can't see the answer clearly.

But now, Yu Xiaoan's intuition told her not to escape anymore.

People seem to be really perceptive in some aspects. Just like now, Yu Xiaoan wanted to ask him: "Gu Mingxing, what does your family do?"

The wind blew Gu Mingxing's soft hair, and the hair fluttering in the wind reflected the warm orange light of the street lamp, like the dance of golden threads.

He looked at her and smiled, a smile that seemed to say "You finally asked."

"The hotel I booked is just in front. I'll take you to work tomorrow."

Tonight is destined to be a night of long talks.
