When the abusive male protagonist wakes up

In the next few days, Gu Haoxing came to eat every day.

Tao An was not used to it at first, but later on Gu Haoxing came a lot, and he got used to it, habitually waiting for Gu Haoxing to come to the house, the two of them went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables together, and then had dinner.

Gu Haoxing could clearly feel that Tao An had put down a lot of guard against him. At least the two of them got along like ordinary friends now, and Tao An was willing to talk to him.

It's just that Tao An still didn't mention anything about the reunion.

Gu Haoxing didn't have the courage to mention it, he was extremely satisfied with his current life, as long as he could eat at the same table with Tao An and hug his son, he was already satisfied and didn't dare to be greedy anymore.

That evening, when Tao An came home from get off work, he found that the neighbor next door was moving things outside.

Tao An stood at the door of the rental house and looked at them suspiciously, "You, are you going to move?"

He remembered that the landlord had told them that the family had lived here for more than [-] years and was the longest-lived tenant in this residential building. Because their son went to school nearby, they planned to live here forever.

The fat auntie with a happy face said with a smile: "Yes, someone rented this house from us for 30 yuan and asked us to move today."

Tao An couldn't figure out why someone would pay 30 yuan to rent this kind of house. Even if a person has a lot of money, he shouldn't choose this place, because the neighborhood and the house are too dilapidated.

Just when Tao An was at a loss, the fat aunt saw the person behind Tao An, her round eyes lit up, and she showed a flattering smile, "Oh, Mr. Gu, you are here, we have already moved the things, you can move them anytime." Come in."

Tao An looked back, and it was none other than Gu Haoxing who came.

There was surprise in Tao An's eyes, and when he thought of the people who were generous with what Auntie said, Gu Hao seemed to be the only one, "Yes, you rented the house?"

Gu Haoxing nodded calmly, "It's me."

Tao An didn't understand and said, "Why did you move here?"

Gu Haoxing's company and home are not here, even if he rents a house, it shouldn't be here.

Gu Haoxing showed a gentle smile, "I want to be closer to you, so that it will be convenient for me to have dinner."

Gu Haoxing felt that it was not a problem to stay in a hotel all the time, and it was not convenient to come to Tao An, so it was better to rent a house and live closer to Tao An.

Tao An knows Gu Haoxing best. The houses here are not only dilapidated, but also often have cockroaches. A clean freak like Gu Haoxing must not be used to living here, and he may move out in a few days.

Tao An said in a low voice: "The house is very poor, you can't live there, don't waste your money."

Gu Haoxing looked at him with a smile, "Then are you willing to move?"

Tao An shook his head, he couldn't live in a more expensive house with his current salary, and even the rent here was a bit reluctant.

Gu Haoxing seemed to guess that Tao An would not move, and said with a smile: "Even if you move, I will be your neighbor, so where is it different?"

As if seeing through Tao An's worries, Gu Haoxing held his hand and said, "You accommodated me before, but now I can accommodate you too."

Tao An withdrew his hand uncomfortably, and said nothing more.

The 30 has already been given, even if Gu Hao can't make it, the other party may not be willing to pay back the money. In this way, Tao An can only watch Gu Haoxing move his things to the next door and become neighbors with him.

This time, Gu Haoxing came to the house more frequently for dinner, not only for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also for supper when he had time.

There were a few times when Tao An was not prepared, and Gu Haoxing had nothing to eat. Later, Tao An would prepare portions for the two of them, so that Gu Haoxing would not come to the door suddenly.

An obvious change in Gu Haoxing is that after he came to eat, he would offer to wash the dishes. People who used to stay at home without touching the spring water would also take the initiative to cook and help Tao An choose and wash vegetables.

Knowing that he deliberately behaved in front of him, Tao An couldn't help but remain calm, after all, the former Gu Haoxing didn't even want to pretend.

Unknowingly, this kind of life lasted for half a month.

Since the child was rescued, Tao An's life has returned to the right track. The convenience store hired two new employees. He and Guo Jiayue are also much more relaxed and don't have to work 24 hours a day.

That day, Guo Jiayue had just finished teaching two new employees how to store goods, so she lay down in front of the cashier and complained, "I'm so tired, I don't want to go to work."

Tao An touched his head, "If you don't go to work, where will you get your salary?"

Tao An witnessed Guo Jiayue's growth with his own eyes. When he first came to work in the convenience store, he didn't want to do anything. Now he is a senior teaching others how to do things.

Guo Jiayue murmured softly, "I don't care about this little money."

Tao An didn't hear clearly, and asked in confusion, "What?"

"It's nothing." Guo Jiayue suddenly came over, gossiping: "Are you reunited with that Gu guy now?"

Tao An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head lightly, "If you don't get back together, you are just friends."

After what happened during this period of time, Tao An could no longer be cold-hearted towards Gu Haoxing. He could resume friendship with Gu Haoxing, but that was all he could do.

At least Tao An unilaterally thinks so.

Guo Jiayue snorted, "You guys will get back together sooner or later, I'm always a good prophet."

Tao An shook his head helplessly, how could emotional matters be predicted.

And even Tao An himself didn't want to understand the chaotic relationship between them, let alone a bystander.

Guo Jiayue childishly pestered Tao An to talk about the past between the two of them, but Tao An didn't want to talk about it. Just as the two were fighting, the door of the convenience store opened from the outside, and a man in a suit walked in.

The smile on Guo Jiayue's face has not been withdrawn, subconsciously said: "Welcome..."

Before the word "Lin" could be uttered, Guo Jiayue saw the man in front of her clearly, her expression changed drastically, her butt slipped out of the chair, and fell heavily under the chair with a plop, making a loud noise.

Tao An was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out to help Guo Jiayue up, "You, are you alright?"

Guo Jiayue's lips trembled slightly, he held the table with both hands, slightly showing half of his head, and looked at the man in front of him with eyes full of fear.

As if he couldn't believe it, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then showed a desperate expression.

The man walked to the cashier and looked down at Guo Jiayue, "Is it fun to hide here?"

Guo Jiayue swallowed hard, "How did you find it?"

The man smiled sinisterly, "Of course I can find you if I want to. Do you think I won't be able to find you if you escape here?"

Seeing his numbing smile, Guo Jiayue's body trembled slightly, fear was written all over her face.

Tao An looked at the man suspiciously, and then at Guo Jiayue, feeling that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between these two people.

Guo Jiayue has always been heartless, Tao An is the first time he has seen him so flustered.

Tao An couldn't help asking: "Xiao Guo, is this, is your friend?"

Guo Jiayue gritted her teeth, giving people the illusion that they would be broken at any time, "I don't have a friend like him!"

The man smiled deeply, "We are indeed more than just friends."

Guo Jiayue didn't want to talk to him anymore, she pointed to the door, "Get lost!"

The man grasped his wrist easily, as easily as choking a bird's neck, which could be broken at any time, and said solemnly: "I can go, but you must also follow me."

Guo Jiayue tried hard to withdraw his hand, but was grabbed even tighter, and deep red marks were drawn on his wrist, causing him to frown in pain.

Even if Tao An was not astute, he could tell that Guo Jiayue was very repulsive to the man in front of him, so he "please let go."

The man's eyes slanted and landed on Tao An, full of warnings and threats, "I advise you not to meddle in your own business."

Guo Jiayue was worried that he would be bad for Tao An, so she pushed him hard, "If you have anything to say, go outside and don't delay the business in the store."

The man stared at Guo Jiayue's face for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand, "Come out with me."

Guo Jiayue clenched her fist, turned to Tao An and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Tao An showed concern, "Xiao Guo......"

Guo Jiayue forced a smile, "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

He walked around the cash register, grabbed the man's hand, and led him out of the convenience store.

Guo Jiayue didn't come back until after get off work.

Tao An was a little worried. He called Guo Jiayue, but no one answered, and then sent a text message: Xiao Guo, are you okay, should I call the police?

There was no reply to the text message. Just when Tao An was afraid of an accident and was about to call the police, Guo Jiayue replied the message, telling Tao An not to worry, he had to leave work early today.

After confirming several times that the content of the text message was Guo Jiayue's tone, Tao An felt relieved a little, and replied that he would notify himself if there was something wrong.

Guo Jiayue didn't reply this time.

Tao An packed up his things and went back to the rental house absent-mindedly.

Gu Haoxing was already waiting at the door. When he saw Tao An appearing, he glanced at the time on his watch and asked in confusion, "Why is it more than half an hour late today?"

Tao An lowered his eyes and took out the key, "I have something to do, I'm delayed."

Tao An seemed a little disappointed. Gu Haoxing only thought he was tired and didn't take it seriously, and took the initiative to play with the child as soon as he entered the house. Tao An went to cook as usual.

When Tao An was cooking, he kept thinking about today's affairs, but he didn't notice that the water on the shovel was not wiped clean, and the hot oil suddenly splashed out.

Before Tao An could react, he heard a nervous "be careful" from beside him, and then pulled him away from the hot pot with his hands, facing Gu Haoxing's nervous face.

After the trip, Gu Hao said fearfully, "Why are you so careless?"

He checked carefully, but fortunately he was not injured, otherwise he would have to go to the hospital.

Tao An came back to his senses and withdrew his hand uncomfortably, "I didn't pay attention."

Gu Haoxing looked at Tao Anhun's restless look, obviously hiding something from him, his heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you at work?"

Tao An shook his head, "No."

The more he denied it, the more Gu Haoxing felt that there was a ghost. He pressed Tao An's shoulder and turned him in his direction, looking directly into Tao An's eyes, "What's the matter, don't hide it from me."

Under Gu Haoxing's questioning, Tao An had no choice but to tell what happened at the convenience store today.

As soon as he heard that it was about Guo Jiayue, Gu Haoxing's heart went back to his stomach. He had never liked Guo Jiayue, and with the incident at the playground last time, he wished that Guo Jiayue, the catastrophe, would stay as far away from them as possible.

Because Tao An was not in the mood, he didn't even think about talking to Gu Haoxing today, so he finished dinner early and went to bed after dinner.

Before going to bed, Tao An was still worried. He tried to call Guo Jiayue, but as soon as he dialed, a mechanical notification sound came: "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
