"It was my father-in-law who hit me."
Gu Ling blinked quickly a few times, looked at Qi Che, and met those eyes with unclear emotions.
At this time, he seems to have discovered for the first time that the little robot's eyes are not dark, and against the cold light in the room, they look even lighter, which makes others think that he doesn't seem to have any extra emotions.
This sentence really caused him a problem, and made him wonder how to react is correct.
Make a joke and fool the past?Try and die?
However, Qi Che's current appearance made his frosty face extraordinarily dusty, which always made Gu Ling feel that doing so would be like blaspheming this god who was about to experience the world of mortals for the first time.
Give him a more thoughtful response?
"I didn't eat anything this morning, my mother got up too early..."
"Your first day with the group? Is it still early?"
"That's true, hey, is it done on Teacher Qi's side?"
The chattering in the ear was particularly obvious at this time.
Gu Ling: "..."
It doesn't seem like a good place to wander, does it?
In a dilemma, Gu Ling fell into a deep silence.
Fortunately, the door of the dressing room was pushed open in good time, and the noisy voices from the corridor flooded in, accompanied by the hot and stuffy summer.
Someone came in to remind the leading actors that they could go to the opening ceremony, and the people in the dressing room got up and prepared to go.
Gu Ling looked back, then turned to look at Qi Che, and said in a blunt tone, "You should go."
Qi Che looked at him for a while, then looked away, walked past him, and walked to the dressing room surrounded by assistants.
The lingering scent of snow mint was quickly dissipated, and the air conditioner in the room, which was not so effective, was blowing hard, but it couldn't cool down the temperature completely.
After completing the task, Gu Ling also left the dressing room, and walked in the crowded corridor, looking up, he could see the particularly eye-catching figure from a dozen meters away.
I'm quite confident.
It seems that they really know how to fall in love.
Because it was too hot, Gu Ling raised his hand and rubbed the hair on his forehead, and took a deep breath.
He found that he really had to start thinking about what it would be like to fall in love with a robot?
Will you die if you try?
Just as he was debating whether to try or die, a gust of palm came from behind, and when it was about to touch his shoulder, Gu Ling reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
"Fuck!" Zhang Chen hung his hands in the air in surprise, "You can dodge this."
Gu Ling looked sideways at him, putting on a world-weary face: "Your slow movements, the air reminds me that you are going to sneak attack."
Zhang Chen: "..."
Zhang Chen smacked his lips: "I'm a little tired from working with the team recently, so I'll work out when I get back."
Gu Ling glanced at his increasingly protruding belly, and pierced him: "Today is the first day with the group."
Zhang Chen whimpered, "You have changed, you are no longer the good brother who loves me the most. I still want to ask you what present you want for your birthday next week..."
Gu Ling paused in his thoughts, and calculated the date, it was indeed his birthday.
The impression of the birthday has been blurred, because it has been too long since the birthday.
After his parents left, he subconsciously wanted to avoid that day, and spent more than five years shutting himself in a dark and quiet room on his birthday, not talking to anyone.
Every time he gets through that day and opens the door again, he will see four neat gifts placed at the door of his small apartment.
His friends have always tolerated him in this way.
It's a pity that in the last five years of the previous life, these friends were repeatedly hit by unexpected fate. In the end, everyone was in danger. Even if they would still send gifts to him, they would tacitly refuse to say that they would see each other again. .
As we grow older, and with the pain we experience, we will gradually avoid the days when we should celebrate and experience joy.
"Say, what do you want." Zhang Chen walked out of the hotel with his arms around his shoulders, muttering, "Why is it so hot, this opening ceremony must not tan my fair complexion..."
Gu Ling suddenly remembered that this year's birthday is a bit special.
The memory of his previous life is still preserved. He remembers that on his birthday, this unlucky brother had an acute appendicitis attack in the crew. Because of the delay in sending him out of the mountains, he lived in the hospital for a long time. down.
For Zhang Chen, this matter has always been a regret.
Gu Ling raised his hand and patted the unlucky big brother on the shoulder: "There is no need to give gifts, and you can accompany me to the city to have a glass of wine."
Zhang Chen was so sunburned that there was only a slit left in his eyes. Hearing this, he was shocked and said, "Huh?"
Gu Ling understood what he meant, because he never saw anyone or went out on his birthday.
Zhang Chen usually has a lot of nerves, but he can always be considerate of other people's feelings. He quickly reacted, and immediately changed his words: "Okay, no problem."
The two came to the opening ceremony together, and many people were already busy.
Gu Ling was standing under the shade of a shady tree, surrounded by many young girls, all holding cameras or mobile phones, all looking happy.
"Ah! I see him!"
"He's so tall...is he really only 186?"
"At least the legs are 1.8 meters."
"Today's look looks good, does it look better than fixed makeup?"
"Have you read the analysis of that shape? The details are very sophisticated..."
Zhang Chen stood beside Gu Ling, holding a small fan to blow on it, and whispered to his ear, "It seems to be Teacher Qi?"
Gu Ling nodded, obviously Qi Che's fan.
But he didn't listen to the discussions related to Qi Che, but was more concerned about their evaluation of Qi Che's appearance.
He knows how much Aunt Xu Lan cherishes the costume design of this show, and he will definitely pay attention to the audience's evaluation. Although he is confident, he can't help but care about everyone's approval.
Fortunately, most of the feedback he got was positive, so Gu Ling was able to look at the main stage of the ceremony from a distance, and saw that the moon-white robe was glowing with faint brocade patterns under the sun, and it seemed to be shimmering when walking.
"I have to say, such things as appearance, it has to be compared to get the effect." Zhang Chen whistling on the small fan, tsk tsk said, "Look at Mr. Qi's handsome face, long legs, and demeanor. , I usually just watch too much and get used to it, so I don’t think it’s a big deal, so I’m sticking into the crowd..."
Gu Ling listened lazily, and inexplicably felt that his heart was very ironic, just like hearing a passer-by boast that the dog he took out for a walk was good in color and good in appearance, and very cute.
"Really?" After ironing the post, Gu Ling still didn't forget to make fun of him mercilessly, "I thought you could feel the gap when you compared yourself with him."
"Hey you, don't you just...you just..." Zhang Chen stared at him, and was accidentally bewitched by his flamboyant eyebrows, so he had to be discouraged, "Okay, I admit it, you can do it with him." Compare it."
As Zhang Chen talked, his brain opened up: "If you are pushed up, can the two of you form a CP? It is probably very popular."
Gu Ling choked for no reason, then suddenly lowered his head, and glanced at the laughing fans standing a few steps away.
If he and Qi Che really get along...
How will fans react?
As soon as this question came up, Gu Ling's heart trembled suddenly, and he quickly suppressed the thought.
Why, why did he suddenly start thinking about this kind of thing, as if he kind of expects the friends of the person he likes to bless them both.
Gu Ling was a little uneasy. He felt that it was definitely not in his character to be so afraid of wolves and tigers, worrying about gains and losses.
He pursed his lips, his Adam's apple slipped unnaturally, and frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."
After the opening ceremony, the shooting began in full swing.
Since Gu Ling came, he didn't stay idle. After running with Yu Chen, due to the large amount of costumes in this show and the high quality, he wasted a lot of thought.
Gu Ling counted the days, and by the day before his birthday, he had arranged his work, booked a plane ticket in advance, and called Zhang Chen.
When Zhang Chen heard that he would go back by plane, he immediately became suspicious: "No, Ling'er, you celebrated your birthday with such a big fanfare, why isn't the food in the town here satisfying you? It's getting more expensive."
Gu Ling perfunctory him: "Don't worry about it, you don't want to pull it down."
He was sure that since Zhang Chen had agreed to accompany him, he would definitely accompany him. Sure enough, Zhang Chen didn't say anything, Sa Podao asked for leave from Director Zheng, simply packed his luggage and gave up his life to accompany Junzi on the plane.
Early the next morning, the two fell to the ground.
Seeing that Zhang Chen hadn't had an attack yet, and Gu Ling couldn't afford to throw him directly into the hospital, so he found a place to eat symbolically.
Taking out his phone, he saw a WeChat message from Qi Che.
The filming has been busy these past few days, so he and Qi Che never had the chance to meet each other alone, and they only passed by by chance on the set.
There was even a time difference in WeChat communication, because Qi Che usually took pictures until early in the morning before resting, while Gu Ling had to wake up in the early morning to tidy up his clothes.
This is the first opportunity to communicate with each other since joining the group.
【Qi Che: You're not on the set? 】
[Gu Ling: Yes, I have something to do, I'll go back right away. 】
【Qi Che: Yes. 】
When Gu Ling saw the word "um", Qi Che's calm face appeared inexplicably, his emotions were light but reassuring.
He was just about to put away his phone when he suddenly received a text message.
It's from an unknown number.
Gu Ling originally thought it was a spam message and didn't pay attention, but at the beginning, he felt something was wrong.
"Hi Gu Ling, I'm Qi Che's..."
He clicked on the text message.
"Mother, I would like to meet you at the cafe at the corner of Changfeng Road at 11:30 noon today. I look forward to it."
Gu Ling read the text message once, but didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Qi Che's mother?
He suddenly remembered that when he and Qi Che attended the family dinner, there was indeed a middle-aged couple present, they were Qi Che's parents.
But because of that family dinner, everyone present was as silent as a robot, so he didn't have a chance to say a word to them.
Suddenly asked to meet him alone...
A bloody plot such as "I will give you 1000 million to leave my son" appeared in Gu Ling's mind.
However, this should be unlikely. Their marriage was the result of the consent of both parents, and they must have directly overcome the love resistance of "parental obstruction".
I couldn't figure it out, but since it was a public place, Gu Ling wasn't too vigilant.
It was probably in the afternoon that Zhang Chen was sent to the hospital. Gu Ling tricked him into waiting for him at the gate of the city hospital, then left the hospital and went to the coffee shop at the agreed location.
There were very few people in this corner cafe, and there were only two tables of customers in the entire lobby. As soon as Gu Ling walked through the door, he saw a woman sitting by the window.
Gu Ling confirmed her identity at a glance, because she looks so much alike, especially the cold feeling in the femur, which makes people remember it at a glance.
Only then did he realize that this woman did not appear at the family dinner that day.
Gu Ling tidied up the loose shirt collar a little, and walked over there.
"Hello." When the woman saw him approaching from a distance, she stood up and held out her hand, "My name is An, just call me Aunt An."
Gu Ling stretched out his hand and shook her lightly, feeling that something was wrong: "But Qi Che and I are...should we call you that?"
Aunt An's eyebrows and eyes are cold, she must have been a cold beauty when she was young, but her expression and tone of voice are gentle and friendly, which is different from that of the Qi family.
Aunt An knew what he meant, and smiled: "I can't stand you calling me mom, and I can't stand Qi Che calling me either."
Aunt An lowered her eyes and tied her hair in a bun: "I have nothing to do with places like the Qi family..."
Gu Ling sat down with a vague understanding, and the waiter served coffee.
"I'll cut straight to the point and stop gossip." Aunt An said in a soft tone, "I divorced very early, I don't want to get involved in the Qi family's affairs, and I don't know about your marriage."
Gu Ling frowned, thinking that it was probably a scene of a wealthy marriage breaking up, and it wasn't unusual.
"I came here to show you something." Aunt An handed over the phone, "I really want to stay out of it, but if even you become his shackles, the pain he will have to bear... Sorry, I really want to hard to imagine."
"Take it as one of the few good things I can do for him as my biological mother."
Gu Ling took the phone and saw a video on the screen. Looking at the video format and shooting angle, it was a surveillance video. The time in the upper left corner showed that the shooting time was a year ago.
In the video, it is a very small room with no furniture or lights. It is very dark, it should be said to be completely dark, because even the shooting was shot with night vision technology.
In the corner of the room, there was a figure sitting on the floor, with his head lowered in a powerless manner, and his face could not be seen clearly. He could only see the figure with tall legs and long legs, curled up in a small corner, looking very depressed.
Gu Ling moved the phone closer, and felt that this figure was familiar.
The picture was blurry, and the face could not be seen clearly, but Gu Ling felt that he would not admit his mistake.
When the video ends, it automatically jumps to another surveillance video.
Gu Ling glanced at the time in the upper left corner, it was seven years ago.
The same small room was still in the monitoring room, but another slightly older man appeared. The man was holding something like a whip in his hand. In front of him was a young man kneeling with his back against him.
The boy's upper body was straight, even though he was kneeling, he still held his head up.
Within a few seconds, Gu Ling saw that familiar, but younger face.
The man raised his hand, and the whip fell.
Gu Ling's breathing fluttered, his pupils trembled, his heart seemed to be caught by something, it was so sore that it was difficult to breathe.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Aunt An in front of him.
"This small room is next to the bedroom where Qi Che lived since childhood." She moved her lips, and said a term that made Gu Ling feel very harsh and unfamiliar, "This is a confinement room."
After leaving the cafe, Gu Ling didn't go anywhere, but went directly to the main residence of the Qi family.
He looked at the phone records in his hand.
Aunt An chose to meet him at this time. It seems that she got the news and knew that Qi Che's father would ask him to meet today, so she told him the inside story in advance.
Gu Ling walked on the way to the main house and villa, and looked at the surrounding gardens.
Sunny and lush in midsummer.
However, he raised his head and looked at the two black-clothed security guards leading the way in front of him. They walked almost without noise, stiff and mechanical.
Gu Ling suddenly felt chilly all over in the midsummer temperature.
Gu Ling sat in the quiet reception room, waiting for Father Qi for over an hour.
The servants in the reception room repeatedly exchanged hot tea for him. Everyone was expressionless and breathing lightly.
When it was the fifth time, Gu Ling held down the servant who wanted to change another cup of tea for him, looked up and said, "There is no need to change it, thank you."
The servant didn't take back his hand, and showed a polite and alienated smile on his face calmly: "Hi, the temperature of the tea prepared by the Qi family for guests should not be lower than 40 degrees."
Gu Ling frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He let go of his hand, and the servant still persisted in taking away the cup of tea, which was probably just below 40 degrees, and replaced it with a new cup.
"Click".
The door of the reception room was finally pushed open slowly.
A middle-aged man in a black suit walked in. Gu Ling stood up and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Although according to their relationship, he should call his father or father-in-law, but looking at this face, he couldn't.
Father Qi pointed to the chair: "Sit."
The tone is cold and emotionless.
Gu Ling sat down and looked at the man sitting on the opposite chair, suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He remembered the day when he and Qi Che met for the first time, Qi Che was also sitting on a wide leather chair like this, with an expression as cold as ice, as calm as water.
It's okay not to think about it, but after thinking about it, he realized how different Qi Che was when he faced him now, compared to when he was at the beginning.
It's different, Qi Che is also different from the executioner in front of him.
One is to hide himself firmly with a cold appearance, and the other is just born with cold blood.
"Meet you again." Father Qi spoke first, very unfamiliar, "It's because I didn't do it thoughtfully, I didn't invite you to sit at home."
Gu Ling frowned when he heard such seemingly friendly words from him, feeling an urge to take off the hypocritical mechanical mask on his face.
Father Qi lowered his eyes slightly, looked down at Gu Ling, and asked, "Do you know why I called you here today?"
Gu Ling shook his head.
He hated this kind of commanding questioning from above, but in the end he endured it for the time being.
"You have to know that our Qi family never engages in useless marriages." Father Qi pinched the armrest of the chair with his finger and said lightly, "You also know that you, the Gu family, yourself, are worthless to the Qi family. value."
Gu Ling squinted his eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled.
The anger value has been pulled by 30.00%.
"I didn't intend to choose you at the beginning. You don't seem to meet the requirements that the Qi family should have."
Yes, just like Qi Che's mother, she probably didn't meet the requirements of the Qi family, so she ran away.
Gu Ling sneered in his heart.
"But now, I can give you a chance." Father Qi controlled the speed of his words, as if emphasizing his compassion, "Let you have a little value to the Qi family."
Gu Ling looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "What."
"Starting today, you will form a report every three days." Father Qi bowed forward, his tone unquestionable, as if he was just giving an order, "Report directly to me about Qi Che's daily life and whereabouts, and contacts."
Qi's father frowned slightly: "He suddenly deviated from the right track, it must be because he came into contact with people who shouldn't be in contact, and had unnecessary and unnecessary emotions."
He looked up at Gu Ling, and said coldly: "I hope that person is not you. If you didn't report everything in detail..."
After a while, the fire in Gu Ling's heart burned three feet high.
"What's the report?" Gu Ling interrupted him abruptly, "For example, did he get stitches for the wound on his body?"
Father Qi suddenly raised his eyes, and the already cloudy eyes were full of cold blades.
"Shame." Father Qi sneered, "It's a shame that someone else found out about this trash."
Looking at his contemptuous smile, Gu Ling suddenly felt creepy.
Before coming here, when he heard Aunt An's description, he still had a little expectation, thinking that although corporal punishment was used, Father Qi didn't have the mentality that he must have his own son bruised.
Now that I think about it, it's all my own delusion.
That's right, the corporal punishment since childhood, the beating and the stitches I don't know how many times, how could it not be intentional.
"A worthless trash needs to be taught a lesson." Qi's father regained his calm and cold expression, "That unfilial son has already let go and will not step into the Qi family again. Although I let him go out to film, I don't want to It's possible to let him go down like this, so you need to take your responsibility and bring him back on track."
Gu Ling gritted his back teeth, feeling that he couldn't hold it anymore, his anger value was no longer accumulating energy, it was simply exploding. If it was at this time in his previous life, he might still be able to endure it.
But not now, if I had to endure it, I would have lived two lifetimes in vain.
Gu Ling's mind became hot, and all the anger brought about by waiting for an hour erupted in this instant.
He stood up suddenly and overturned the "40 degree" cup of hot tea in front of him. The porcelain cup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
The servants present were used to the volume not exceeding a certain decibel in this house, and everyone trembled when they first heard this sound.
Everyone was terrified, because they thought that if they broke the cup... they would be kicked out the next second.
Gu Ling stood firm, staring at the middle-aged robot in front of him and started outputting crazily:
"Is there anyone who treats your own son like that?? You are his father, not his master. You are not locked up in a closed room without food or drink, and you have to beat ten sticks every day to teach him a lesson..."
"What do you think of him? A tool for the company's endorsement? A traffic password or a lucky tree?"
"With his ability and status, he can still live well without the Qi family. You must tie him up because you are afraid!"
"You are a PUA, a pure PUA, isn't it a PUA if you let me hang out for an hour? Do you think I don't understand?? I've lived two lifetimes and can't understand you Poor drama?"
"It's impossible for me to listen to you. I'm a human being. You're a beast that doesn't deserve to be a human being. There's no reason for anyone to do things for beasts in this world!!"
After pointing his nose and cursing, all the servants present were dumbfounded.
Everyone stared and exchanged glances.
【It's cool to scold】
【He is my spokesperson! 】
【Is this young man our future mistress, bah... the master...】
【My God, will he be locked up by the master? 】
[No way, heaven, but I heard that the young master and him have not yet received a certificate. If they are locked up, can they call the police...]
[Do you think the master is afraid of those? 】
【Ugh】
【Alas +1】
Before Gu Ling had finished cursing, he saw Qi's father stood up trembling, and the next second he waved his hand and fell down on his face.
Because the old man was so angry that his hands were shaking, although he tried his best to accumulate energy, he was blocked by Gu Ling's sharp eyes and only a little wind of his fingers fell on his face.
"Presumptuous!! Absurd!! It's just..."
The middle-aged man's roar erupted in his ears, Gu Ling was beaten, and his rationality was thrown out of the sky on the spot.
He has lived two lifetimes and suffered a lot of grievances, but no one has ever dared to greet this face.
Gu Ling clenched his right fist, pierced the eardrum with a piercing sound, and pulled a long fist.
When the fist was about to hit the ground, his remaining rationality made him turn his direction, and instead of landing on his face or vital parts, it actually landed on Father Qi's shoulder.
The old man never thought in his life that he would be punched by the junior, and he fell backwards on the chair.
The servants shouted loudly and rushed up: "Master!!"
"My God!"
"Call—doctor—doctor—"
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint taste of gloating and uncontrollable laughter in the panic and screams one after another.
Gu Ling was pushed away, his fists were still clenched, and he was in a daze for a while.
Someone behind him grabbed his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Go!"
Gu Ling turned his head and saw Mr. Qi standing behind him, still holding the pair of fishing rods that he "borrowed" from Zhang Chen that he had given him. It was obvious that he had just caught half of his fishing.
"Then..." Gu Ling was a little hesitant. It's not in his character to run away after beating.
Old Master Qi hurriedly pushed him away: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's go..."
Gu Ling was pushed and shoved to go out of the villa, and the servants opened the heavy wooden door...
Gu Ling stopped abruptly and looked at the person in front of him.
The man walked in a hurry, one foot was still on the steps outside the gate, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and a few locks of hair were wet.
His breathing was a little short, and his face was vaguely panicked.
Qi Che looked at him, his vision was a bit blurred due to his haste, and he could only vaguely see Gu Ling's figure.
There was an imperceptible tremor in his final voice: "How are you?"
Gu Ling tried his best to catch his breath, looked at the man in front of him, and heard the servants' chaotic voices behind him.
He suddenly realized a problem that might be a bit problematic.
Did Qi Che tear himself apart with this old man?Could it be that he was still in some plan, but he was punched to speed up the process, right?
"I seem...maybe...causing you trouble?"
Gu Ling said uncertainly;
"I beat someone, probably not lightly."
"It was still my current... old man?"
The author says:
What Qi Che heard: @…[email protected]?! [email protected]&#... old man?
Gu Ling blinked quickly a few times, looked at Qi Che, and met those eyes with unclear emotions.
At this time, he seems to have discovered for the first time that the little robot's eyes are not dark, and against the cold light in the room, they look even lighter, which makes others think that he doesn't seem to have any extra emotions.
This sentence really caused him a problem, and made him wonder how to react is correct.
Make a joke and fool the past?Try and die?
However, Qi Che's current appearance made his frosty face extraordinarily dusty, which always made Gu Ling feel that doing so would be like blaspheming this god who was about to experience the world of mortals for the first time.
Give him a more thoughtful response?
"I didn't eat anything this morning, my mother got up too early..."
"Your first day with the group? Is it still early?"
"That's true, hey, is it done on Teacher Qi's side?"
The chattering in the ear was particularly obvious at this time.
Gu Ling: "..."
It doesn't seem like a good place to wander, does it?
In a dilemma, Gu Ling fell into a deep silence.
Fortunately, the door of the dressing room was pushed open in good time, and the noisy voices from the corridor flooded in, accompanied by the hot and stuffy summer.
Someone came in to remind the leading actors that they could go to the opening ceremony, and the people in the dressing room got up and prepared to go.
Gu Ling looked back, then turned to look at Qi Che, and said in a blunt tone, "You should go."
Qi Che looked at him for a while, then looked away, walked past him, and walked to the dressing room surrounded by assistants.
The lingering scent of snow mint was quickly dissipated, and the air conditioner in the room, which was not so effective, was blowing hard, but it couldn't cool down the temperature completely.
After completing the task, Gu Ling also left the dressing room, and walked in the crowded corridor, looking up, he could see the particularly eye-catching figure from a dozen meters away.
I'm quite confident.
It seems that they really know how to fall in love.
Because it was too hot, Gu Ling raised his hand and rubbed the hair on his forehead, and took a deep breath.
He found that he really had to start thinking about what it would be like to fall in love with a robot?
Will you die if you try?
Just as he was debating whether to try or die, a gust of palm came from behind, and when it was about to touch his shoulder, Gu Ling reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
"Fuck!" Zhang Chen hung his hands in the air in surprise, "You can dodge this."
Gu Ling looked sideways at him, putting on a world-weary face: "Your slow movements, the air reminds me that you are going to sneak attack."
Zhang Chen: "..."
Zhang Chen smacked his lips: "I'm a little tired from working with the team recently, so I'll work out when I get back."
Gu Ling glanced at his increasingly protruding belly, and pierced him: "Today is the first day with the group."
Zhang Chen whimpered, "You have changed, you are no longer the good brother who loves me the most. I still want to ask you what present you want for your birthday next week..."
Gu Ling paused in his thoughts, and calculated the date, it was indeed his birthday.
The impression of the birthday has been blurred, because it has been too long since the birthday.
After his parents left, he subconsciously wanted to avoid that day, and spent more than five years shutting himself in a dark and quiet room on his birthday, not talking to anyone.
Every time he gets through that day and opens the door again, he will see four neat gifts placed at the door of his small apartment.

As we grow older, and with the pain we experience, we will gradually avoid the days when we should celebrate and experience joy.
"Say, what do you want." Zhang Chen walked out of the hotel with his arms around his shoulders, muttering, "Why is it so hot, this opening ceremony must not tan my fair complexion..."
Gu Ling suddenly remembered that this year's birthday is a bit special.
The memory of his previous life is still preserved. He remembers that on his birthday, this unlucky brother had an acute appendicitis attack in the crew. Because of the delay in sending him out of the mountains, he lived in the hospital for a long time. down.
For Zhang Chen, this matter has always been a regret.
Gu Ling raised his hand and patted the unlucky big brother on the shoulder: "There is no need to give gifts, and you can accompany me to the city to have a glass of wine."
Zhang Chen was so sunburned that there was only a slit left in his eyes. Hearing this, he was shocked and said, "Huh?"
Gu Ling understood what he meant, because he never saw anyone or went out on his birthday.
Zhang Chen usually has a lot of nerves, but he can always be considerate of other people's feelings. He quickly reacted, and immediately changed his words: "Okay, no problem."
The two came to the opening ceremony together, and many people were already busy.
Gu Ling was standing under the shade of a shady tree, surrounded by many young girls, all holding cameras or mobile phones, all looking happy.
"Ah! I see him!"
"He's so tall...is he really only 186?"
"At least the legs are 1.8 meters."
"Today's look looks good, does it look better than fixed makeup?"
"Have you read the analysis of that shape? The details are very sophisticated..."
Zhang Chen stood beside Gu Ling, holding a small fan to blow on it, and whispered to his ear, "It seems to be Teacher Qi?"
Gu Ling nodded, obviously Qi Che's fan.
But he didn't listen to the discussions related to Qi Che, but was more concerned about their evaluation of Qi Che's appearance.
He knows how much Aunt Xu Lan cherishes the costume design of this show, and he will definitely pay attention to the audience's evaluation. Although he is confident, he can't help but care about everyone's approval.
Fortunately, most of the feedback he got was positive, so Gu Ling was able to look at the main stage of the ceremony from a distance, and saw that the moon-white robe was glowing with faint brocade patterns under the sun, and it seemed to be shimmering when walking.
"I have to say, such things as appearance, it has to be compared to get the effect." Zhang Chen whistling on the small fan, tsk tsk said, "Look at Mr. Qi's handsome face, long legs, and demeanor. , I usually just watch too much and get used to it, so I don’t think it’s a big deal, so I’m sticking into the crowd..."
Gu Ling listened lazily, and inexplicably felt that his heart was very ironic, just like hearing a passer-by boast that the dog he took out for a walk was good in color and good in appearance, and very cute.
"Really?" After ironing the post, Gu Ling still didn't forget to make fun of him mercilessly, "I thought you could feel the gap when you compared yourself with him."
"Hey you, don't you just...you just..." Zhang Chen stared at him, and was accidentally bewitched by his flamboyant eyebrows, so he had to be discouraged, "Okay, I admit it, you can do it with him." Compare it."
As Zhang Chen talked, his brain opened up: "If you are pushed up, can the two of you form a CP? It is probably very popular."
Gu Ling choked for no reason, then suddenly lowered his head, and glanced at the laughing fans standing a few steps away.
If he and Qi Che really get along...
How will fans react?
As soon as this question came up, Gu Ling's heart trembled suddenly, and he quickly suppressed the thought.
Why, why did he suddenly start thinking about this kind of thing, as if he kind of expects the friends of the person he likes to bless them both.
Gu Ling was a little uneasy. He felt that it was definitely not in his character to be so afraid of wolves and tigers, worrying about gains and losses.
He pursed his lips, his Adam's apple slipped unnaturally, and frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."
After the opening ceremony, the shooting began in full swing.
Since Gu Ling came, he didn't stay idle. After running with Yu Chen, due to the large amount of costumes in this show and the high quality, he wasted a lot of thought.
Gu Ling counted the days, and by the day before his birthday, he had arranged his work, booked a plane ticket in advance, and called Zhang Chen.
When Zhang Chen heard that he would go back by plane, he immediately became suspicious: "No, Ling'er, you celebrated your birthday with such a big fanfare, why isn't the food in the town here satisfying you? It's getting more expensive."
Gu Ling perfunctory him: "Don't worry about it, you don't want to pull it down."
He was sure that since Zhang Chen had agreed to accompany him, he would definitely accompany him. Sure enough, Zhang Chen didn't say anything, Sa Podao asked for leave from Director Zheng, simply packed his luggage and gave up his life to accompany Junzi on the plane.
Early the next morning, the two fell to the ground.
Seeing that Zhang Chen hadn't had an attack yet, and Gu Ling couldn't afford to throw him directly into the hospital, so he found a place to eat symbolically.
Taking out his phone, he saw a WeChat message from Qi Che.
The filming has been busy these past few days, so he and Qi Che never had the chance to meet each other alone, and they only passed by by chance on the set.
There was even a time difference in WeChat communication, because Qi Che usually took pictures until early in the morning before resting, while Gu Ling had to wake up in the early morning to tidy up his clothes.
This is the first opportunity to communicate with each other since joining the group.
【Qi Che: You're not on the set? 】
[Gu Ling: Yes, I have something to do, I'll go back right away. 】
【Qi Che: Yes. 】
When Gu Ling saw the word "um", Qi Che's calm face appeared inexplicably, his emotions were light but reassuring.
He was just about to put away his phone when he suddenly received a text message.
It's from an unknown number.
Gu Ling originally thought it was a spam message and didn't pay attention, but at the beginning, he felt something was wrong.
"Hi Gu Ling, I'm Qi Che's..."
He clicked on the text message.
"Mother, I would like to meet you at the cafe at the corner of Changfeng Road at 11:30 noon today. I look forward to it."
Gu Ling read the text message once, but didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Qi Che's mother?
He suddenly remembered that when he and Qi Che attended the family dinner, there was indeed a middle-aged couple present, they were Qi Che's parents.
But because of that family dinner, everyone present was as silent as a robot, so he didn't have a chance to say a word to them.
Suddenly asked to meet him alone...
A bloody plot such as "I will give you 1000 million to leave my son" appeared in Gu Ling's mind.
However, this should be unlikely. Their marriage was the result of the consent of both parents, and they must have directly overcome the love resistance of "parental obstruction".
I couldn't figure it out, but since it was a public place, Gu Ling wasn't too vigilant.
It was probably in the afternoon that Zhang Chen was sent to the hospital. Gu Ling tricked him into waiting for him at the gate of the city hospital, then left the hospital and went to the coffee shop at the agreed location.
There were very few people in this corner cafe, and there were only two tables of customers in the entire lobby. As soon as Gu Ling walked through the door, he saw a woman sitting by the window.
Gu Ling confirmed her identity at a glance, because she looks so much alike, especially the cold feeling in the femur, which makes people remember it at a glance.
Only then did he realize that this woman did not appear at the family dinner that day.
Gu Ling tidied up the loose shirt collar a little, and walked over there.
"Hello." When the woman saw him approaching from a distance, she stood up and held out her hand, "My name is An, just call me Aunt An."
Gu Ling stretched out his hand and shook her lightly, feeling that something was wrong: "But Qi Che and I are...should we call you that?"
Aunt An's eyebrows and eyes are cold, she must have been a cold beauty when she was young, but her expression and tone of voice are gentle and friendly, which is different from that of the Qi family.
Aunt An knew what he meant, and smiled: "I can't stand you calling me mom, and I can't stand Qi Che calling me either."
Aunt An lowered her eyes and tied her hair in a bun: "I have nothing to do with places like the Qi family..."
Gu Ling sat down with a vague understanding, and the waiter served coffee.
"I'll cut straight to the point and stop gossip." Aunt An said in a soft tone, "I divorced very early, I don't want to get involved in the Qi family's affairs, and I don't know about your marriage."
Gu Ling frowned, thinking that it was probably a scene of a wealthy marriage breaking up, and it wasn't unusual.
"I came here to show you something." Aunt An handed over the phone, "I really want to stay out of it, but if even you become his shackles, the pain he will have to bear... Sorry, I really want to hard to imagine."
"Take it as one of the few good things I can do for him as my biological mother."
Gu Ling took the phone and saw a video on the screen. Looking at the video format and shooting angle, it was a surveillance video. The time in the upper left corner showed that the shooting time was a year ago.
In the video, it is a very small room with no furniture or lights. It is very dark, it should be said to be completely dark, because even the shooting was shot with night vision technology.
In the corner of the room, there was a figure sitting on the floor, with his head lowered in a powerless manner, and his face could not be seen clearly. He could only see the figure with tall legs and long legs, curled up in a small corner, looking very depressed.
Gu Ling moved the phone closer, and felt that this figure was familiar.
The picture was blurry, and the face could not be seen clearly, but Gu Ling felt that he would not admit his mistake.
When the video ends, it automatically jumps to another surveillance video.
Gu Ling glanced at the time in the upper left corner, it was seven years ago.
The same small room was still in the monitoring room, but another slightly older man appeared. The man was holding something like a whip in his hand. In front of him was a young man kneeling with his back against him.
The boy's upper body was straight, even though he was kneeling, he still held his head up.
Within a few seconds, Gu Ling saw that familiar, but younger face.
The man raised his hand, and the whip fell.
Gu Ling's breathing fluttered, his pupils trembled, his heart seemed to be caught by something, it was so sore that it was difficult to breathe.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Aunt An in front of him.
"This small room is next to the bedroom where Qi Che lived since childhood." She moved her lips, and said a term that made Gu Ling feel very harsh and unfamiliar, "This is a confinement room."
After leaving the cafe, Gu Ling didn't go anywhere, but went directly to the main residence of the Qi family.
He looked at the phone records in his hand.
Aunt An chose to meet him at this time. It seems that she got the news and knew that Qi Che's father would ask him to meet today, so she told him the inside story in advance.
Gu Ling walked on the way to the main house and villa, and looked at the surrounding gardens.
Sunny and lush in midsummer.
However, he raised his head and looked at the two black-clothed security guards leading the way in front of him. They walked almost without noise, stiff and mechanical.
Gu Ling suddenly felt chilly all over in the midsummer temperature.
Gu Ling sat in the quiet reception room, waiting for Father Qi for over an hour.
The servants in the reception room repeatedly exchanged hot tea for him. Everyone was expressionless and breathing lightly.
When it was the fifth time, Gu Ling held down the servant who wanted to change another cup of tea for him, looked up and said, "There is no need to change it, thank you."
The servant didn't take back his hand, and showed a polite and alienated smile on his face calmly: "Hi, the temperature of the tea prepared by the Qi family for guests should not be lower than 40 degrees."
Gu Ling frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over.
He let go of his hand, and the servant still persisted in taking away the cup of tea, which was probably just below 40 degrees, and replaced it with a new cup.
"Click".
The door of the reception room was finally pushed open slowly.
A middle-aged man in a black suit walked in. Gu Ling stood up and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Although according to their relationship, he should call his father or father-in-law, but looking at this face, he couldn't.
Father Qi pointed to the chair: "Sit."
The tone is cold and emotionless.
Gu Ling sat down and looked at the man sitting on the opposite chair, suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He remembered the day when he and Qi Che met for the first time, Qi Che was also sitting on a wide leather chair like this, with an expression as cold as ice, as calm as water.
It's okay not to think about it, but after thinking about it, he realized how different Qi Che was when he faced him now, compared to when he was at the beginning.
It's different, Qi Che is also different from the executioner in front of him.
One is to hide himself firmly with a cold appearance, and the other is just born with cold blood.
"Meet you again." Father Qi spoke first, very unfamiliar, "It's because I didn't do it thoughtfully, I didn't invite you to sit at home."
Gu Ling frowned when he heard such seemingly friendly words from him, feeling an urge to take off the hypocritical mechanical mask on his face.
Father Qi lowered his eyes slightly, looked down at Gu Ling, and asked, "Do you know why I called you here today?"
Gu Ling shook his head.
He hated this kind of commanding questioning from above, but in the end he endured it for the time being.
"You have to know that our Qi family never engages in useless marriages." Father Qi pinched the armrest of the chair with his finger and said lightly, "You also know that you, the Gu family, yourself, are worthless to the Qi family. value."
Gu Ling squinted his eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled.
The anger value has been pulled by 30.00%.
"I didn't intend to choose you at the beginning. You don't seem to meet the requirements that the Qi family should have."
Yes, just like Qi Che's mother, she probably didn't meet the requirements of the Qi family, so she ran away.
Gu Ling sneered in his heart.
"But now, I can give you a chance." Father Qi controlled the speed of his words, as if emphasizing his compassion, "Let you have a little value to the Qi family."
Gu Ling looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "What."
"Starting today, you will form a report every three days." Father Qi bowed forward, his tone unquestionable, as if he was just giving an order, "Report directly to me about Qi Che's daily life and whereabouts, and contacts."
Qi's father frowned slightly: "He suddenly deviated from the right track, it must be because he came into contact with people who shouldn't be in contact, and had unnecessary and unnecessary emotions."
He looked up at Gu Ling, and said coldly: "I hope that person is not you. If you didn't report everything in detail..."
After a while, the fire in Gu Ling's heart burned three feet high.
"What's the report?" Gu Ling interrupted him abruptly, "For example, did he get stitches for the wound on his body?"
Father Qi suddenly raised his eyes, and the already cloudy eyes were full of cold blades.
"Shame." Father Qi sneered, "It's a shame that someone else found out about this trash."
Looking at his contemptuous smile, Gu Ling suddenly felt creepy.
Before coming here, when he heard Aunt An's description, he still had a little expectation, thinking that although corporal punishment was used, Father Qi didn't have the mentality that he must have his own son bruised.
Now that I think about it, it's all my own delusion.
That's right, the corporal punishment since childhood, the beating and the stitches I don't know how many times, how could it not be intentional.
"A worthless trash needs to be taught a lesson." Qi's father regained his calm and cold expression, "That unfilial son has already let go and will not step into the Qi family again. Although I let him go out to film, I don't want to It's possible to let him go down like this, so you need to take your responsibility and bring him back on track."
Gu Ling gritted his back teeth, feeling that he couldn't hold it anymore, his anger value was no longer accumulating energy, it was simply exploding. If it was at this time in his previous life, he might still be able to endure it.
But not now, if I had to endure it, I would have lived two lifetimes in vain.
Gu Ling's mind became hot, and all the anger brought about by waiting for an hour erupted in this instant.
He stood up suddenly and overturned the "40 degree" cup of hot tea in front of him. The porcelain cup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
The servants present were used to the volume not exceeding a certain decibel in this house, and everyone trembled when they first heard this sound.
Everyone was terrified, because they thought that if they broke the cup... they would be kicked out the next second.
Gu Ling stood firm, staring at the middle-aged robot in front of him and started outputting crazily:
"Is there anyone who treats your own son like that?? You are his father, not his master. You are not locked up in a closed room without food or drink, and you have to beat ten sticks every day to teach him a lesson..."
"What do you think of him? A tool for the company's endorsement? A traffic password or a lucky tree?"
"With his ability and status, he can still live well without the Qi family. You must tie him up because you are afraid!"
"You are a PUA, a pure PUA, isn't it a PUA if you let me hang out for an hour? Do you think I don't understand?? I've lived two lifetimes and can't understand you Poor drama?"
"It's impossible for me to listen to you. I'm a human being. You're a beast that doesn't deserve to be a human being. There's no reason for anyone to do things for beasts in this world!!"
After pointing his nose and cursing, all the servants present were dumbfounded.
Everyone stared and exchanged glances.
【It's cool to scold】
【He is my spokesperson! 】
【Is this young man our future mistress, bah... the master...】
【My God, will he be locked up by the master? 】
[No way, heaven, but I heard that the young master and him have not yet received a certificate. If they are locked up, can they call the police...]
[Do you think the master is afraid of those? 】
【Ugh】
【Alas +1】
Before Gu Ling had finished cursing, he saw Qi's father stood up trembling, and the next second he waved his hand and fell down on his face.
Because the old man was so angry that his hands were shaking, although he tried his best to accumulate energy, he was blocked by Gu Ling's sharp eyes and only a little wind of his fingers fell on his face.
"Presumptuous!! Absurd!! It's just..."
The middle-aged man's roar erupted in his ears, Gu Ling was beaten, and his rationality was thrown out of the sky on the spot.
He has lived two lifetimes and suffered a lot of grievances, but no one has ever dared to greet this face.
Gu Ling clenched his right fist, pierced the eardrum with a piercing sound, and pulled a long fist.
When the fist was about to hit the ground, his remaining rationality made him turn his direction, and instead of landing on his face or vital parts, it actually landed on Father Qi's shoulder.
The old man never thought in his life that he would be punched by the junior, and he fell backwards on the chair.
The servants shouted loudly and rushed up: "Master!!"
"My God!"
"Call—doctor—doctor—"
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint taste of gloating and uncontrollable laughter in the panic and screams one after another.
Gu Ling was pushed away, his fists were still clenched, and he was in a daze for a while.
Someone behind him grabbed his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Go!"
Gu Ling turned his head and saw Mr. Qi standing behind him, still holding the pair of fishing rods that he "borrowed" from Zhang Chen that he had given him. It was obvious that he had just caught half of his fishing.
"Then..." Gu Ling was a little hesitant. It's not in his character to run away after beating.
Old Master Qi hurriedly pushed him away: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's go..."
Gu Ling was pushed and shoved to go out of the villa, and the servants opened the heavy wooden door...
Gu Ling stopped abruptly and looked at the person in front of him.
The man walked in a hurry, one foot was still on the steps outside the gate, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and a few locks of hair were wet.
His breathing was a little short, and his face was vaguely panicked.
Qi Che looked at him, his vision was a bit blurred due to his haste, and he could only vaguely see Gu Ling's figure.
There was an imperceptible tremor in his final voice: "How are you?"
Gu Ling tried his best to catch his breath, looked at the man in front of him, and heard the servants' chaotic voices behind him.
He suddenly realized a problem that might be a bit problematic.
Did Qi Che tear himself apart with this old man?Could it be that he was still in some plan, but he was punched to speed up the process, right?
"I seem...maybe...causing you trouble?"
Gu Ling said uncertainly;
"I beat someone, probably not lightly."
"It was still my current... old man?"
The author says:
What Qi Che heard: @…[email protected]?! [email protected]&#... old man?
