When the abusive male protagonist wakes up

Early the next morning, Gu Haoxing came to the community to pick Tao An up for work.

Sitting in the car, he seemed a little fidgety, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Gu Haoxing looked in the rearview mirror and saw Tao An walking out of the residential building.

Gu Haoxing's heart suddenly hung up.

Tao An opened the co-pilot's door, and when he saw Gu Haoxing, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he got into the car.

Gu Haoxing's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and said out of words, "Have you had breakfast?"

Tao An hummed softly, "What about you?"

Gu Haoxing said unnaturally: "I ate it too."

Tao An snorted, as if he didn't know how to start a conversation, so he didn't reply.

The car was driving smoothly on the road, Gu Haoxing looked at Tao An from the rearview mirror, and pretended to be natural and asked: "Did you... taste the things I bought for you last night?"

Tao An nodded, "Eat."

Gu Haoxing's throat tightened, "How does it taste?"

Tao An smiled shallowly, "The food is delicious."

Gu Haoxing waited for Tao An to continue, but after Tao An finished speaking, he fell silent. He stared at Tao An's face closely, trying to capture other emotions from his face, "That's it?"

Tao An pursed his lips slightly, grasped the backpack unconsciously with both hands, and did not reply.

Gu Haoxing thought Tao An didn't see the ring inside the package, he felt a sense of loss, he calmed down his emotions, looked ahead and continued driving.

At the entrance of the company, Tao An unfastened his seat belt and said to Gu Haoxing, "Drive carefully."

Seeing Tao An was about to get off the car, Gu Haoxing suddenly stopped him, "Tao An!"

Tao An turned his head and looked at Gu Haoxing with puzzled eyes.

Gu Haoxing's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "Did you... see the ring in the packing bag?"

Tao An's body froze, and after a long time, he said softly, "I see."

Gu Haoxing tightened his breathing, his heart was beating wildly, "Then why didn't you respond?"

He always thought that Tao An would be so calm when he didn't see the ring, but he found out what was in the packing bag a long time ago, but he hasn't mentioned a word since he left the house.

Tao An clenched his lips tightly, his lips turned white from biting too hard, he couldn't handle it, he choked out a sentence: "I, I'm going to work first."

Before Gu Haoxing could speak again, Tao An had already got out of the car, leaving only a thin figure behind Gu Haoxing, and disappeared into the company.

Gu Haoxing returned to the company as if his soul had been sucked out.

The new secretary was waiting for Gu Haoxing with a pile of documents, but Gu Haoxing walked into the office as if he didn't even notice her.

The secretary has not been in the company for long, and she hasn't figured out the boss's temper yet. She put the document in front of Gu Haoxing, and said cautiously: "Mr. Gu, this is a document that needs to be processed by you today."

Gu Haoxing didn't seem to hear her, and stared blankly ahead in a daze.

The secretary tactfully put down her things and left. She was about to leave the office when Gu Haoxing suddenly called out to her, "Wait a minute."

The secretary turned around suspiciously, "Mr. Gu, do you have any orders?"

Gu Haoxing looked serious, "I have something to ask you."

The secretary thought that he had done something wrong, and grabbed his hands nervously, "You, please tell me."

Gu Haoxing was silent for a moment, "If a person receives a confession, but there is no response, what does it mean?"

The secretary thought for a moment, "That should mean not accepting it."

After the words fell, Gu Haoxing grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly, his face was very ugly.

After the secretary finished speaking, he saw the extremely gloomy expression on his immediate boss's face, and realized that he might have said something wrong. Before she could make amends, Gu Haoxing said in a deep voice, "Go out."

The secretary wiped off his cold sweat, quickly closed the door and left the office.

Gu Haoxing leaned heavily on the back of the chair, his heart sank to the bottom.

Although he had guessed the result a long time ago, he still felt like a knife had been stabbed in his heart.

He thought that after so many things, Tao An should have a little affection for him, and maybe the two of them would have a chance to get back together.

Apparently he was daydreaming.

Gu Haoxing was not in the mood to go to work all day long. He stayed in the office until the evening, and it was not until the secretary knocked on the door to remind him that he came back to pick Tao An off work.

It took Gu Haoxing a long time to adjust his mood. He took the car keys and went to the company to pick Tao An off work.

After Tao An came out of the company, he saw the car parked at a familiar place outside the company's gate. He paused slightly, then walked to the car.

Gu Haoxing came back to his senses when he heard the door opening, and when he saw Tao An, he forced a smile, "Get off work?"

Avoiding Gu Haoxing's gaze, Tao An asked in a low voice, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Gu Haoxing leaned forward and pushed the car door open, "No, I just arrived too."

Tao An got into the car, and the car fell into silence. He didn't speak, and Gu Haoxing didn't drive. The atmosphere in the car was a little frozen.

As if he couldn't bear it anymore, Gu Haoxing suddenly said, "Tao An, can you give me an answer?"

He would rather Tao An reject him directly than let his heart be roasted on the fire, burning him to the point of going crazy.

Tao An raised his head stiffly to look at Gu Haoxing, and did not speak for a long time.

Gu Haoxing grabbed his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, I have done a lot of wrong things before, so you can't believe me anymore, but I am serious this time. After so many things, I have realized my mistakes I won't do anything to hurt you again."

Seeing that Tao An was still silent, Gu Haoxing became a little anxious, "If I lie to you, let me be struck to death by lightning..."

Tao An hastily covered Gu Haoxing's mouth, frowned and said, "Don't say such unlucky things."

Gu Haoxing took Tao An's hand, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious, "What I said is true, I want to make up for you, live a good life with you, and take care of the child to grow up safely in the future."

His expectant eyes locked on Tao An, expecting a miracle to appear in his heart, Tao An and him looked at each other for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, and withdrew his hand from Gu Haoxing's.

Tao An avoided answering, changed the subject and said, "I want to go to a place."

Gu Haoxing's expectant gaze dimmed, replaced by disappointment.

He knew that this was Tao An's final answer.

Gu Haoxing's throat was on fire, he withdrew his body and held the steering wheel with both hands, "Where do you want to go?"

Tao An said an address, and Gu Haoxing's expression suddenly became guilty, "The cemetery?"

Tao An didn't seem to notice Gu Haoxing's strange expression, and explained softly, "I want to pay homage to my father."

Of course, Gu Haoxing had no reason to refuse what he said, so he turned around and drove to the cemetery.

The two of them didn't speak during the journey, Tao An lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, Gu Haoxing didn't dare to ask any more questions, and the carriage remained strangely quiet.

After driving for more than an hour, they finally arrived at their destination. Gu Haoxing parked the car at the gate of the cemetery and got out of the car with Tao An.

The two came to Tao An's father's tombstone one after the other.

Looking at the small letters on the tombstone, Gu Haoxing's face flashed with a guilty conscience for no reason.

He bullied Tao An like that before, even if his father is gone now, Gu Haoxing still feels his face is hot.

What's more, in order to tie Tao An by his side, he tricked Tao An into digging up his father's ashes.

Tao Pingan didn't notice Gu Haoxing's strange expression, he took out a tissue from his pocket, knelt down to wipe off the dust on the tombstone, and whispered, "Dad, I'm here to see you."

The man in the photo smiled gently, as if responding to Tao An's words.

Tao An said to himself: "Hao Xing also came to see you today, you should have not seen him for a long time."

Gu Haoxing stiffly nodded at the tombstone, and he also squatted down, put the words he bought on the way in front of the tombstone, and said guiltily: "Dad, I was too busy a while ago, so I haven't come to see you. I will talk to Tao more often in the future." Ann came."

Tao An glanced at him, Gu Haoxing forced a smile, stepped aside, and looked at Tao An's thin figure sitting beside the tombstone, muttering to himself.

Tao An's expression was calm, and he chatted with his father as if he was talking about family affairs. From the recent life to the children, Gu Haoxing rarely heard him talk so much.

Only when Tao An is close to him will he not be taciturn.

In fact, Tao An used to treat him like this, but after too many things, Tao An had nothing to say to him.

When Gu Haoxing thought of this, his heart throbbed with pain.

Tao An suddenly said: "Dad, Haoxing said that he wants to get back with me."

Hearing his own name, Gu Haoxing froze, but Tao An's next words made his mind go blank.

"Do you think I want to get back together with Haoxing?"

Gu Haoxing's pupils suddenly tightened, and he looked at Tao An in disbelief.

Tao An just said that he wants to get back together with him?

Gu Haoxing thought there was something wrong with his ears, but before he could react, Tao An said again: "But I'm afraid that he's lying to me again, and that after we get together again, Haoxing will get tired of living with me again. Throw me and the kids aside and repeat the painful days like before."

Gu Haoxing's legs seemed to be filled with lead. He moved to the tombstone and immediately said, "No, I promise I won't bully you again."

As if wanting to prove his determination, Gu Haoxing looked at the photo of Tao's father on the tombstone, and raised three fingers to swear, "Dad, I assure you, I will treat Tao An well in the future, and I will never bully him again. Let him be wronged again, this time I will do what I say."

After Gu Haoxing finished speaking a series of words, he swallowed hard. He knelt down and turned Tao An's shoulder to face himself, "Tao An, give me another chance, I will prove that I did not lie to you."

Tao An looked at Gu Haoxing's tense expression, and the events that happened during this period flashed through his mind, playing them scene by scene like a revolving lantern. Every time Gu Haoxing refused to look back, he knew it wasn't for the show.

Who would take his own life to act in a play?

Tao An sniffed, he stretched out his right hand, and the ring finger had an extra ring at some point.

Gu Haoxing looked at the ring on his hand in surprise, and Tao An's voice came from next to his ear: "I am willing."
