After agreeing to marry the villain

Chi Ye worked on the small sofa for almost an hour and a half, but Gu Congzhou still didn't come out of the room.

Only the light from the doorway and the faint sound of typing on the keyboard in the silent night showed that the people inside were still awake.

The original owner's cell phone had long since run out of battery, and Chi Ye glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already around one twenty in the morning.

He covered his mouth and yawned, feeling a little sleepy.

If there is a competition if you stay up late, Gu Congzhou must be the king.

Chi Ye originally wanted to cheer up and review the plot of the novel carefully, and the personal experience of the original owner, but he couldn't help the sleepiness, and slowly changed from sitting upright to leaning on the sofa crookedly.

During the whole day, he first worked continuously for more than ten hours, then experienced a fire, went through a book, and had to act in front of Gu Congzhou. Every now and then, the drowsiness became even more unstoppable, rising up in the body little by little, diluting the initial uneasiness and anxiety a lot.

After another hour or so, there was still no movement in the study.

Chi Ye was already so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, and the furniture in his sight became more and more blurred.

Go to sleep for a while, you will have the strength to deal with Gu Congzhou after you have had enough sleep.

As he thought about it, half of his body leaned on the sofa, and the thoughts in his head became more and more like a paste.

——It was already midnight when Gu Congzhou came out of the study.

There are many things going on recently, he hasn't slept for several days in a row, and he just finished a banquet tonight, his body feels tired, and his breathing is more difficult and short than usual, but no matter how tired his body is, he can't fall asleep, and his brain is abnormally clear.

As in the past few years, as long as he closes his eyes, colorful pictures, disturbing data, and sharp and piercing voices all appear in his mind, stimulating his nerves like countless needles.

He spent three and a half hours in the study just now, reading through the quarterly reports of foreign branches. He didn't turn off the computer until the blue light from the screen made his eyes feel sour.

He wanted to take a nap in the office chair, but just as He closed his eyes, various sounds scratched his eardrums like sharp knives.

Even if he has long been used to such a life, it is not a pleasant thing.

Three minutes later, Gu Congzhou opened his eyes, poured a white tablet and ate it, and then walked out of the study.

The outside room is very quiet, only the sound of the clock ticking, and the sound of light, shallow and rhythmic breathing.

Gu Congzhou followed the sound and looked.

Chi Ye was dozing off on the sofa, with his right hand resting on his forehead, his head was shaking a little, and he seemed to be trying to maintain a sitting position, but he swayed from side to side because he was so sleepy, sleeping restlessly and sweetly.

Gu Congzhou originally wanted to wake him up, but when he stood opposite Chi Ye, looking down at him, he didn't speak.

In fact, judging from the appearance alone, the boy in front of him was not annoying to him, especially after taking a bath, after washing off the hairspray and perfume, the vigorous and clear youth made people look very comfortable.

Gu Congzhou took a few more glances. The young man's face was buried in his hands. The profile of his face outlined by the dim light was soft and delicate. A small mole of tears was looming in his hair under his right eye.

He is not interested in the entertainment industry at all, and he doesn't pay attention to it, but judging from the intuition of investors, such a person will not be too bad when he debuts as a star, and his company should not lose money.

But his uncle miscalculated in sending people here, he is not interested in men and women.

Five minutes later, Chi Ye was still dozing off with his head propped up, unaware that there was a person standing in front of him.

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Gu Congzhou's heart. It would be great if he could freeze the appearance of the boy in front of him at this moment forever, freeze it, make a specimen, and keep him in this posture all the time.

Before this feeling became stronger, Gu Congzhou clenched his fists, pinched his palm, turned around, ignored Chi Ye, and walked to the armchair by the bed and sat down.

He turned on the lamp and took a book from the shelf to read.

The clock continued to tick.

The night is the darkest hour.

The sound of regular breathing was mixed with the sound of pages turning.

Gu Congzhou felt that the desire just now was slowly dormant.

He glanced at Chi Ye again from the corner of his eye. It was obvious that he was hired by his uncle to seduce him, but now he was sleeping so soundly by himself.

When the clock hits the hour, it beeps "Ding Dong".

Gu Congzhou suddenly put down the book, stood up from the armchair, and walked to Chi Ye again.

Chi Ye changed his position, resting his head in his arms, and fell asleep precariously.

"stand up."

Gu Congzhou frowned, and kicked Chi Ye in dissatisfaction... Another kick.

He couldn't fall asleep, but this little star slept soundly...

Chi Ye was dreaming, dreaming that he was walking on the balance bar in mid-air, with the wind blowing above his head, and there was a raging fire under the balance bar. He was carefully maintaining his balance on the balance bar, when suddenly someone kicked him kick.

He was unsteady and fell from the air, which made him jump up suddenly.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a stern man standing in front of him.

Gu Congzhou looked at Chi Ye.

Chi Ye also looked at him sleepily.

The two stared at each other.

Thirty seconds later, Chi Ye woke up and suddenly remembered his current situation.

He wore a book, got caught doing bad things, and was in Gu Congzhou's bedroom...

Thinking of this, Chi Ye immediately stood up from the sofa and entered the state of preparation, "Young Master Gu, are you done?"

Gu Congzhou didn't speak, just looked at him with a cold face, the eyes behind the gold-rimmed lenses had a cold light, and the room temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

Gu Congzhou's temper was moody, and Chi Ye knew it well.

He remembered a certain plot in the novel, where someone flattered him at a banquet, and the flattering ended up on the horse's leg. Gu Congzhou didn't say anything that day, but made him bankrupt the next day.

He also remembered how Gu Congzhou treated the protagonist. He locked the protagonist in the study, saying that he liked the protagonist's hand, and wanted to cut off the protagonist's hand to make a specimen for appreciation.

All in all, this is a guy with a sociopathic personality.

This situation was not good, and he always felt that he was going to be on Gu Congzhou's blacklist. Under the crisis, Chi Ye's mind was spinning again - he tried hard to recall every detail that his colleague told him that afternoon.

Especially about Gu Congzhou, what does Gu Congzhou like to do most when he can't sleep in the middle of the night and feels bad?

Work, headache, taking medicine...listening to music...

Correct!

Listen to the song!

Apart from drugs, the only thing that can calm Gu Congzhou's emotions is piano music.

Gu Congzhou's favor for the protagonist is also because the protagonist Shou plays the piano well, and the sound of the piano is warm and calm, which can soothe people's hearts.

Chi Ye really didn't want to be stared at by Gu Congzhou like this. Gu Congzhou's aura was too strong, and there was also an inexplicable coldness, which made people feel very uneasy and oppressive when looking at people like this.

Chi Ye was heartbroken, and said desperately, "Young Master Gu, can't sleep? Then let me play the piano for you? Do you have a favorite composer?"

While speaking, Chi Ye bypassed Gu Congzhou and quickly walked to the front of the piano. It was indeed a Steinway K132.

While Chi Ye was alert to Gu Congzhou's movements, he lingered on the piano. The top cover was made of maple, the legs were made of birch, and Ben Schubert's piano collection was placed on one side.

He has practiced all of Schubert's works, which made him feel more relaxed and confident, "Do you like to listen to Schubert? I can play Schubert's "Serenade". Do you want to listen to it?"

Chi Ye started working as a group performer at the age of 17 and became the director's favorite group performer. But before that, he had studied piano seriously for nine years, Schubert, Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn... All have been practiced countless times.He even thought about becoming a piano teacher, but his family's misfortune prevented him from supporting his childhood dream.

Gu Congzhou was not interested in what Chi Ye said about playing the piano. There are too many people who can play the piano. There are a lot of students from the Conservatory of Music, and if they have money, they can invite international masters to play for him. There is no shortage of people playing the piano for him.

But among so many works by Schubert, Chi Ye just mentioned "Serenade", which changed Gu Congzhou's words. He asked, "Can you play "Serenade"?"

"Yeah. I used to play this piece a lot when I practiced the piano, but I haven't touched the piano for several years. I'm a little novice, please don't mind, Young Master Gu."

Chi Ye sat down on the piano bench, greedily and carefully looked at the piano in front of him - Judging from the traces of some details, the life of this piano is not short.

But the top cover is spotless, and the natural grain of the maple glistens, showing that it has been carefully maintained.

He first took out a few paper towels from the side, carefully wiped his hands clean repeatedly, and then carefully lifted the top cover.

Gu Congzhou watched his careful and gentle movements from behind, and the chill in his eyes receded unconsciously.

Then, after a few sounds of flipping paper, the music of the piano flowed out.

This "Serenade" is the perfect curtain call for Schubert's short life. The whole tune is soft and melodious, full of romanticism.

When Chi Ye first played, the melody was a little stagnant, as he said, it looked like he hadn't practiced for a long time.

But he adapted quickly, and the more he played, the better he became, and the music soon became smooth and moving.

Chi Ye originally wanted to play the piano to ease the atmosphere, but he quickly focused on playing the piano.

When he was four years old, he was learning the piano for the first time, and his mother gave him this piano as a birthday present.

He has been playing for nine years and is familiar with every key and every soundboard of that Steinway K132.

It's a pity that after the family accident, the piano and everything in the house were confiscated by the bank, and he never played the Steinway K132 again.

His fingers jumped on the black and white keys, and many past events came to mind.

Those pasts, he can never go back.

I can't go back to the past world, nor can I go back to the time when my parents were there.

He died, and so did his parents.

He has permanently lost touch with the past.

Gu Congzhou was behind him, standing quietly without moving.

Chi Ye's playing skills may not be top-notch, not as good as the famous pianists in the Vienna hall, but the appeal of the piano sound is just right, just like the "Serenade" he heard in his memory, sad, lonely, and reminiscing of.

Slowly let him calm down.

The night was silent.

The villa in the western suburbs was silent in a deep darkness.

There was only a small light burning in one window.

The soothing and quiet sound of the piano slowly flows out through the crack of the door.

……

When the song was over, Chi Ye turned around and saw Gu Congzhou sitting on the single sofa he was sitting on just now, with his hands on his forehead, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"It plays well."

Chi Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Congzhou opened his eyes and looked over lightly, "Are you going to play anything else?"
