[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

The two returned to the car, and the driver was already waiting inside.

The heater in the car was fully turned on, and Gu Ningyuan habitually asked Shen Yue to take off the warm clothes such as coat and scarf.Then he began to take off his coat, but he forgot that he hadn't taken off his gloves yet. Although the gloves were not mitten, they were too small, and his movements were naturally clumsy.

When the driver saw the four rabbit ears on Gu Ningyuan's hands bouncing from the rearview mirror, he couldn't help laughing after holding back for a while.

Fortunately, Gu Ningyuan is not an overly strict customer in this regard, but Shen Yue just glanced at him.He put the coat aside and reached out to help Gu Ningyuan unbutton it.Shen Yue took off the gloves for Gu Ningyuan again.It took a lot of effort to put the gloves on, but it was difficult to take them off.

The two of them expended a lot of effort, and the back of Gu Ningyuan's hands turned red from being strangled, and Shen Yue put the gloves aside.

Gu Ningyuan was a little puzzled, looked at him and smiled, "What are you doing so carefully? Do you want to wear it yourself again?"

Shen Yue tidied up the two gloves, put them on her clothes properly, and said jokingly: "Well, they belong to me. Didn't I just lend you to wear them first? You don't want to keep them for yourself, they are But mine."

"Take it for yourself?" Gu Ningyuan couldn't help laughing when he thought of Shen Yue looking at him pitifully and putting the gloves on his hands, "It really turns black and white."

The road outside the car was eerily quiet.There seemed to be no cars on Christmas Eve. Maybe the driver chose another road. Anyway, the road was very smooth and there was no sharp whistle.

It was only at the beginning that Gu Ningyuan still had the energy to joke and talk to Shen Yue.He was silent for a while without answering.

Shen Yue is always engrossed in Gu Ningyuan, looking up to see that Gu Ningyuan is in a trance, his brows and eyes are half closed, and his eyelashes envelop a thick blue shadow under his eyes.Maybe it wasn't obvious during the day, or maybe Gu Ningyuan really covered it up so well that no one noticed.

It's the end of the year now, and the company's affairs are already very busy. Gu Ningyuan has been working overtime for a long time.He never postponed his work, and for the appointment with Shen, he didn't take half a minute off in the afternoon.

Shen Yue knew that he was tired, but it was the first time he could feel it.

"It's still far from home," Shen Yue put his hand on Gu Ningyuan's shoulder, and put forward his own suggestion, his voice was soft and soft, a bit like Gu Ningyuan's usual tone, "You can sleep in the car for a while, okay?"

Gu Ningyuan nodded, originally planning to lean on the back of the chair and fall asleep.But Shen Yue moved closer to him and tried to raise his shoulders.The two were already very close to each other, but now they are almost stuck together.

Shen Yue obviously intends to ask Gu Ningyuan to lean on his shoulder.

This is a novel experience.But Gu Ningyuan refused.

"Your shoulders can't support mine."

But Shen Yue was very interested in this matter, and in the end Gu Ningyuan lay half-lying on Shen Yue's lap.

Probably really too tired, Gu Ningyuan didn't intend to really fall asleep at first, but he really gradually fell asleep.

His breathing gradually became steady and long, and his body didn't want to look a little stiff because of worrying about Shen Yue, and even his face looked a little red due to the overly warm environment.

Shen Yue couldn't help touching his face.He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, he was afraid of waking Gu Ningyuan up, but he still couldn't help it.

From the forehead slowly slid down along the curvature of the face, then to the cheeks, nose, and finally the slightly dry and soft lips.

Shen Yue saw the suspicious eyes of the driver in front of him.

His heart was beating extremely fast, he panicked, he calmed down and smiled again, exerting a little force on his hands, "Look, it's fun when my brother is asleep."

The driver smiled too.

Shen Yue's smile slowly subsided, and he retracted his hand.

The pulp of the middle finger of his right hand had just touched Gu Ningyuan's lips.

Shen Yue thought about it, maybe it was just now, maybe it was Christmas, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and slowly pressed it to his lips.

It feels almost soft and warm to the touch.

He couldn't resist this illusion, and couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking it.

The snow outside is getting bigger and fluttering, it is Christmas this night.

------------

The night is getting darker.

A hidden bar on the corner is still full of lights, and the music is loud and deafening.

Gu Hong lay on the bar with his upper body lying on his back, wearing a heavy sweater, sweat dripping down his face.He has lost a lot of weight, with prominent cheekbones on his cheeks, and he is terribly old. His hair is still black, but the roots of his hair are already white.

"Come again, another bottle of wine."

The bartender gave him a disgusted look and handed him a cheap bottle of wine.I'm afraid that he will spit here and increase the workload for himself.

In the past, when Gu Shengquan was still in power, even if he was not in power, Gu Hong in the past few years would have dismissed this kind of cheap alcohol and this kind of low-end bar with mixed fish and dragons.

But now that the alcohol slipped down his throat, Gu Hong's brain had the same burning illusion as his stomach.He is still Gu Hong from the Gu family in the east. His father is the oldest generation of the Gu family and holds shares in the Gu family.He took up a not-so-important position, with a lot of money, drunk and dreamy, sensual, and people kept throwing themselves into his arms every day.

No one would recognize him as the Gu Hong who was nearly fifty years ago a few years ago, still handsome, and could win the favor among the women at the dinner party.

In the end, Gu Shengquan still failed to survive the stroke and the blow of reality, and died a year ago.He is the longest-lived in this generation, and it is reasonable to think that he is old, proud and proud, and finally controls the power of the Gu family.

In the end it was just a dream.

After his death, the pension will naturally not be paid again.Gu Hong once found some jobs, but the management of a company in Donglin City didn't know about him. Even if he was recruited, he was thinking of watching a joke and solving personal grudges.Gu Hong has lived to such an advanced age, he has never been treated so bossy, and he has never held a job for a long time.

Gu Hong hadn't saved any money in the past few years, and he was just sitting and eating, just waiting for Gu Shengquan's pension to barely survive.Now that Gu Shengquan is dead, everything is over.

People can only really feel the urgency when they are almost out of food.

Gu Hong has been to the company, to the Gu residence, to other Gu family members, but no one is willing to help him.

He hated these people, everyone, and gritted his teeth with hatred, but he cherished his own life, and wanted to live on.Gu Hong was terribly afraid of death. He saw that Gu Shengquan was only a handful of bones before he died. He couldn't even sit up or speak because of the stroke. It was extremely terrifying.Gu Hong never dared to visit him again, and Gu Ningyuan sent someone to arrange the funeral affairs after his death.

At that time, Gu Hong thought, he couldn't die, he would have no chance to change his luck after death, he had to live well.Relying on such vain comfort to himself, he reluctantly accepted the fact that he was already poor.

At worst, he also plans to sell his last villa, which is an old villa that Gu Shengquan bought when he was just an adult and has been around for decades.But when it comes to housing agencies, the manager always has endless reasons to talk about the problem of the house, and it is the same after changing countless houses.

He couldn't afford to live in that house either, the distance was too far, and the maintenance was too expensive, so he had to lock it up and collect the ashes.

Thinking of this, Gu Hong took another big sip of wine, letting the alcohol anesthetize himself, his eyes were full of good times in the past.

On the other side of the bar, a tall and thin middle-aged man stared at Gu Hong for a while through the crowd, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Hong felt that the chair next to him was pulled away, and a person sat on it.He ordered a glass of wine, which was much better than Gu Hong's. He only took a few sips and was talking to the bartender.Probably because he was rich, the bartender talked to him casually when he was free.

The table was full of sexy magazines, the man glanced at it, suddenly picked one out of it, and pointed it to the bartender, his voice was full of excitement, "It's Chen Zichun, ah, it's her, do you know her?"

The bartender is very young, and the stars of this era are replaced very quickly. How could he know an unknown female star who appeared in a sexy and vulgar magazine?

Seeing that he didn't recognize him, the man seemed to sigh.

"In the past, maybe a few years ago, she became famous when she debuted." He recalled the past while drinking, "At that time, she was pure and cute, and she filmed several TV dramas and appeared on many shows. ..."

The bartender laughed when he heard this, "But how did it get down to, um, this point?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe it's because of my poor acting skills." There was some sadness and regret in his voice, "Anyway, she's really pretty and pure..."

Gu Hong couldn't help being quarreled by those two people. He was angry and had no confidence. He glanced at the magazine cover drunkenly, then smiled disdainfully, "What's pure, she's just a bitch. I've slept with her before. "

That middle-aged man naturally couldn't allow the pure girl in his heart to be so defiled by others, so he threw the wine glass, "Can you speak human words!"

Gu Hong was full of sarcasm, he stroked his hair and revealed a face, "It means that her acting skills were so bad back then, so the TV series naturally came to sleep."

The man was originally furious, but he seemed surprised when he saw Gu Hong's face. He paused for a while and then carefully identified it for a while, then his anger gradually subsided.

He tentatively asked, "Mr. Gu Hong?"

Gu Hong was startled, and shook the wine bottle, unexpectedly being recognized here.He has also fallen to this level, and the brain paralyzed by alcohol actually feels ashamed.

"It's you, I remember you," the man seemed full of surprise, "You bought a house from me, otherwise I would have been fired because of my low performance."

He was so excited, as if he had met a benefactor, he hurriedly said to the bartender, "Get the wine, bring it up quickly."

"Me, me?" He wanted to admit it, but he was ashamed to admit it, but at the moment when he saw the wine, he finally completely lost his shame, "It was me, so I saved you..."

"Yes, yes! Do you still remember the villa you bought in Xishan..."

The bartender is young, but he has encountered too many things here, and his vision is not bad.I always feel that there is something wrong with the harmony from the fight from the last second to this second.

He wiped the wine glass, so what's wrong, it has nothing to do with him.

After Gu Hong drank other people's wine, he was naturally no longer able to put on a high profile, but he insisted on being a "benefactor", so he could only listen and agree.

That man was really good at talking, a few words seemed to flatter Gu Hong back to when he was back in the day, and he drank again, his whole person was in high spirits.

The two left each other's contact information, and the man finally sighed, "I didn't recognize you when I first saw you, it's really..."

Gu Hong drank another glass of wine, and said as if to cover up: "Life, always, always, has ups and downs... right..."

"That's right. But," he sighed again, "I'm just a manager of a small real estate agency, and I've heard about you. That Gu Ningyuan, your nephew, is really ambitious. pushed to this point."

"Heh, he..." Gu Hong thought of Gu Ningyuan, and his heart suddenly turned cold.He had confronted Gu Ningyuan a few times, and he had some experience with Gu Ningyuan's methods. He always felt that he was not like a young man, too deep.

At the end of the talk, the middle-aged man sneaked something into Gu Hong's ear.

"I know one thing, and it's always disturbing not to tell you."

"That house, you ran away a lot of houses that no one took over, and the housing agencies avoided them like snakes and scorpions. In fact, there is no problem with that house, it's all, it's all Gu Ningyuan said, let's talk, say yes, say I won’t let you sell it.”

Gu Hong's mind was in a daze, as if he still didn't understand the meaning of these words.

"Why, why?"

His tone seemed to contain a trace of malicious provocation, but it passed by in a flash. The drunk Gu Hong knew nothing about it, but trusted him extremely.

"Who knows? Maybe it's because he is vicious, and he wants to see you to this extent to be satisfied."

Gu Hong finally came to his senses, and the alcohol could no longer paralyze him, so he threw the glass angrily.

As for that middle-aged man, he had already withdrawn his sympathy and cautiousness, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his lips.
