rose beauty

On December 31, the last day of the year, the temperature was only two degrees.

The Gong family mansion is located in the south of Shencheng, more than an hour's drive from the center of the city, so Gong Cheng doesn't go back often.

The topography of Shencheng is concave. Most of the area in the city is plain, and the altitude gradually rises in the outskirts of the city.As the road winds up, large expanses of cedar trees are dense and rich.

The trees are tall and straight, the asphalt road is quiet and smooth, and the vehicles are speeding along it. From the skylight, you can see the receding branches and a gray sky.

After arriving at the palace, the black carved door opened in response.

The car drove into it, but there was no sign of the house.As the terrain changes, the patchwork lawns, well-groomed flower clusters, and the low-key and luxurious scenery along the way. After driving for two or three kilometers, I saw a huge European-style building indistinctly.

The house has been around for some years and has been properly repaired. The black tile roof is like new.Floor-to-ceiling windows and white brick walls are decorated with festive decorations, ribbons, flowers, and balloons, making it as lively as a grand ceremony.

The car stopped beside the large circular fountain, and the driver came and opened the door.

Yu Nan followed Gong Cheng to get out of the car, only then did he catch a glimpse of all kinds of luxury cars, there were vague sounds of people and music, and there were many people in the hall saying hello to Gong Cheng.

The mansion is as warm as spring.

Stepping into the porch, the servant greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. is back!"

Gong Cheng just nodded casually, and they became the focus in the hall for a moment.

The servant waited for Gong Cheng to take off his coat and hang it up for him, and then came to serve Yu Nan.

Yunan wore a lambswool coat outside today, it was a winter coat that was delivered not long ago, and it was enough to keep warm.Inside is a slim white shirt, the neckline and cuff buttons are embroidered with silk thread, making him tall and graceful.

Whispering seemed to follow Yu Nan, but he didn't notice it at all, blushing and letting others help, he knew that since he came, he should be respectful rather than obedient, this is the elegance he should have.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Gong."

"Happy New Year!"

Along the way, Gong Cheng received many New Year's greetings.

The ladies were wearing formal attire, and the men were all in formal attire, like a star-studded ball, a scene that Yunan had only seen in movies before.

People cast curious glances at him, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Gong Cheng took him by the hand: "Don't be afraid."

Yunan instantly felt relieved, and nodded.

Amidst the soothing music, someone ran down the spiral staircase, and the people who were talking automatically avoided.At the end of the stairs, the man thought it was not fast enough, so he just sat on the wooden handrail and slid all the way down, a little perverse.

Gong Yiluo's white hair has been dyed back. He is wearing a black suit and a bow tie. He looks a lot more mature, but after landing, he is still youthful: "Uncle! If you don't come back, I will leave My mother said that if you really don’t come back, let me come up to speak in a while, I don’t want to!”

Gong Cheng said: "I'm counting on you? My sister-in-law is also in a hurry to go to the doctor."

Gong Yiluo chuckled: "She thought you were going to be willful."

Gong Cheng was noncommittal, he never talked much.

It was getting dark at this time, and the New Year's Eve party would not start for a while, so he had to say hello to some characters and go through a cutscene.Those in high positions are far from being as free as ordinary people imagine, but are more involved in mundane affairs and cannot help themselves.

"You're fine anyway, take Yunan for a stroll." Gong Cheng confessed, "Don't let him drink too much."

Gong Yiluo naturally recognized Yu Nan early on, a certain smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded: "It's on me. Yu Nan, go, I'll take you to the greenhouse, there are not so many people there."

Yu Nan glanced at Gong Cheng, he had a premonition that he might have to follow Gong Yiluo for the whole night.

This is something that Gong Cheng can't do. Gong Cheng is the protagonist, and he has no way to do it.What's more, he himself requested to accompany Gong Cheng.

The man saw his uneasiness, reached out and touched his head, pampering him: "Go. Get something to eat when you're hungry."

Yunan sighed inwardly, and followed Gong Yiluo away.

"Yunan, would you like something to eat?" Gong Yiluo asked.

"No need." Yunan said.

Gong Yiluo asked him if he had anything, and when they walked through a long corridor, the people gradually became thinner, and they came to the glass greenhouse on the left side of the mansion.This is connected to the mansion, and you can see the scene on the other side of the corridor.

"I thought this was the place where Gong Cheng planted roses." Standing in front of the endless summer, Yunan stretched out his hand to caress the purple-blue flower cluster.

There are so many varieties of roses, hyacinths, shrubs, cacti, etc., that it is hard to imagine them blooming in the same season.

The pebbles on the ground are spliced ​​into patterns according to the colors, and there are water storage paths flowing under the countertops, which is too beautiful to behold.

Gong Yiluo said: "That's the flower garden. It's still on the back side of the mountain. It's far away. This is my mother's greenhouse. She sometimes reads here."

Yunan likes this place.

He glanced around and felt that if the sun was shining, this place must have another beautiful scene.

When he is capable, he will also build a greenhouse like this, where he can paint and do handicrafts every day, and maybe even raise a dog.I don't know if Gong Cheng likes dogs or not. If Gong Cheng doesn't like dogs, then it's not bad to have a lazy cat.

Suddenly, Gong Yiluo changed the subject and pretended to be angry: "Yunan, why did you delete me? Halfway through I sent the message, it reminded me that I am not your friend, but you are really good at it. You play games well, turn to Turn your head away and don't recognize anyone."

Yunan had already forgotten about it.

After being reminded by Gong Yiluo, he just remembered that time when he made up his mind to break up with Gong Cheng, and indeed he blackmailed Gong Yiluo.

Gong Yiluo is a familiar person, and his personality is not bad, and Yu Nan also feels that he is not very authentic.

"I'm sorry." Yu Nan took out his phone, "Last time I thought Gong Cheng and I would definitely break up, so I deleted yours. I'll pull you back now."

Gong Yiluo looked at him for two seconds, then curled his lips and said, "Forget it, I don't care. Anyway, you will break up in the future, it will be so troublesome."

Yu Nan: "...Why do you say that, we won't break up."

It's New Year's Eve soon, and it's not auspicious to say such things.

Gong Yiluo said heartlessly: "Sooner or later. Do you know what is longer than a lover? Let me tell you, it is family. No matter how long Gong Cheng is away or who he is good with, he will always be with you." It's coming home."

Yu Nan didn't understand at all, and asked: "You're not right. Lovers and family members are different existences. Of course everyone needs a lover, but everyone also needs a family. After a long time, when the two become one, there will be no conflicts." gone."

When Yunan spoke like this, the expression on his face was serious and vivid.

Gong Yiluo had never met someone like Yu Nan before, so he was stunned for a while, and then said: "You are really different, no wonder my uncle has been with you for so long. But what you said is very reasonable, right?" Wrong, but it can't apply to our Gong family, because our family has always been either married or domestically sold. It's not like no one thought about it like you did before, but it still didn't matter in the end."

"Before?" Yu Nan was puzzled.

Dao Gong Yiluo was talking about Gong Cheng, as for before this, it might be Gong Cheng's predecessor, Yu Nan immediately thought of Louis.

Yunan can afford to let it go, he won't eat Louis' dry vinegar anymore.

"There are quite a few." Gong Yiluo sat on the table, casually picked a daffodil and played with it in his hand.

Yu Nan really frowned his pretty eyebrows.

Gong Yiluo wanted to tease him, and brought up the old story again: "Call me brother, I will tell you how many people are there, what is the name, what is the job, how long have you been with my uncle, I will tell you, why? Sample?"

Yu Nan shut his mouth tightly, he didn't want to call this man who was two years older than him brother.

Because he felt that Gong Yiluo was more childish than him.

While talking, someone shouted in surprise: "Yu Nan?"

The two people in the flower room turned their heads at the same time, and saw Feng Zirui standing there with a female companion, dressed in suits and leather shoes, obviously also coming to the New Year's Eve party.

"Why are you here?" Feng Zirui asked, only to realize that the question was redundant.

What Feng Zirui said last time is true, because his uncle is Feng Yue, an executive of Shu and Tiancheng, and he does know Gong Yiluo, but not very well.This time after graduating from university, he worked with Feng Yue, and of course came to the New Year's Eve party.

Feng Zirui was surprised to see Yu Nan here.

He thought, judging from the reaction at that time, Yu Nan should not be with Gong Cheng.

Unexpectedly, Yu Nan was still with Gong Cheng.

"Madman, do you know each other?" Gong Yiluo jumped off the table.

Feng Zirui looked at Yunan: "Yes, we are all students of Huxin Academy of Fine Arts." Leaving aside the past, Feng Zirui added, "Yunan is very famous in school."

Yunan didn't want to say hello to Feng Zirui.

But Feng Zirui had already apologized to him last time, and still gave him a helmet.

Yu Nan just nodded to him as a greeting.

Gong Yiluo was very interested: "Why are you famous? Good-looking?"

Yunan is not a vase, so he glared at him.

Feng Zirui quickly stood up for him: "Looking good is one of the reasons, and more importantly, Yu Nan is very good, and he even participated in the art exhibition of the Artists Association some time ago."

Gong Yiluo didn't know anything about art, so he shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, participating in art exhibitions was not as interesting as Yu Nan's staring at him.He found that making Yu Nan angry was more interesting than making Yu Nan serious.

Yu Nan was surprised that Feng Zirui would say this: "How do you know?"

Feng Zirui said to him: "I went to see the art exhibition, your paintings are beautiful, and the outside evaluation is very good."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Yu Nan had no choice but to politely answer: "Thank you."

Seeing that Yunan obviously didn't want to talk to him, Feng Zirui just smiled, and only he knew the bitterness of it.

Another wave of people coming to the greenhouse came in, and the greenhouse of the eldest wife of the Gong family accommodated dozens of people casually.

People drink and enjoy the flowers, this place is no longer a quiet place, Yu Nan took a step back to make way, Gong Yiluo was about to stop his movement, but after thinking about it, he slyly silenced.

Feng Zirui understood that expression too well, it meant that Gong Yiluo was about to play a prank.

Sure enough, when Yu Nan took a second step back, his foot stepped on a protrusion, and the water gushed out with a "puff", which made the female guest next to him scream.

Yu Nan was quick to react and hid quickly, but the spray still sprayed him all over, leaving him in a mess.

Gong Yiluo slapped the table and laughed wildly: "Idiot, you stepped on the sprinkler!"

Yu Nan said angrily, "You're still laughing!"

Gong Yiluo achieved his goal, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I wanted to remind you, but I just thought it was fun. I didn't expect the water to be so big. I'll lend you a change of clothes."

Yu Nan shook off the water droplets from his hair angrily, like a puppy, the white shirt was more than half wet, sticking tightly to his body, almost transparent: "It's not funny at all!"

Gong Yiluo originally wanted to continue teasing him, but seeing tattoos was like discovering a new world: "Fuck me, Yunan, do you still have tattoos? It's a bit awesome."

Feng Zirui would only be more surprised than Gong Yiluo.

The bright red showed through the shirt, and it could be clearly seen that it was a tattoo of roses.

Yunan actually covered the scar with a tattoo.

Several people looked over, Yu Nan was extremely embarrassed, and he also realized that he seemed to be walking away.

For a boy, even topless is nothing, but it's too inappropriate on this occasion, it almost makes Yunan feel like running naked, he really wants to find something to cover himself up.

At this moment, an unexpected person appeared.

"What's wrong?" came a cold voice.

It was Louis.

His signature light-colored hair is completely combed back, revealing a smooth forehead, wearing a white suit, and the whole person reveals elegance.

"Sir."

"Sir!"

Several guests present greeted him.

Mr. Little?

Yu Nan was stunned on the spot——Louis, is the legendary Mr. Xiao, the adopted son of the Gong family?

How had no one ever told him this?

Even Gong Cheng didn't say anything.

Seeing this situation, Louis seemed not at all surprised by Yunan's appearance here, and instead blamed Gong Yiluo: "Zaizai, you are teasing the guests again, it is not polite at all, if Uncle Ren finds out, he will definitely criticize you. "

This tone is the tone of a full-fledged elder, which means that he is the master of this place, the kind that is justifiable.

Same as Gong Cheng.

Gong Yiluo didn't care much: "Just kidding, I've already apologized, just take him to change clothes."

After speaking, Lu Yi's eyes shifted to Yunan.

He also saw the gorgeous red, which bloomed on the slender waist, which made his expression change slightly.

Feng Zirui was the first to react, and without a word, he took off his suit and put it on Yunan's body, blocking his unique view.

Yu Nan moved as if waking up, and said softly: "Thank you."

Gong Yiluo finally realized that he was going too far, and he didn't want to attract more people, not to mention that Uncle Ren's talking was scary, even if he was caught by Gong Cheng, he would just walk around.

He took Yunan's arm: "Let's go, Yunan, I'll take you upstairs to change."

Louis said: "No need."

Yunan was watching him, from the moment he entered the greenhouse.

Louis looked back to normal, and said to Gong Yiluo: "You have a big frame, your clothes will not fit anyone else. Yunan is about the same size as me, I will take him to change."

Seeing that Louis took Yunan away.

Gong Yiluo later realized that the matter was very troublesome, and said in his mouth: "Fuck, Shura field."

Louis led Yunan through another winding corridor, and went up to the third floor like a maze.

This house is terribly big, and if no one leads the way, he will probably get lost in this house.

Louis grew up here since he was a child, so he is naturally familiar with the road.

He is familiar with every step and every corridor, so familiar that he can feel the walls of every room, every door and window with his eyes closed.

Louis is the adopted son, the adopted son who Xiao Zhou said is not at peace with his face.

The man known as Mr. Little.

Then, Louis is not only Gong Cheng's predecessor, but also Gong Cheng's unrelated younger brother, and also a family member in Gong Yiluo's mouth.Gong Cheng's expression when he mentioned this adopted son was exactly the same as when he mentioned Louis, he should have found out earlier.

Yu Nan heard that people who broke up can no longer be friends, it must be because they really loved.

Why does Gong Cheng have such a reaction of hating a person?

Is it because you once loved deeply?

He followed Louis, his feet on the carpet as if on cotton, and his mind was dizzy.He thought logically, since Gong Cheng brought him back to the palace mansion, he should know that he would meet Louis, why did Gong Cheng do this?

He was a little dull and a little drowsy, feeling as if he had been tricked tonight.

By whom?

Is it Gong Yiluo who was pranked, Louis who came to find him, or Gong Cheng who never said anything about it?

Yunan felt like a clown.

He had to ask Gong Cheng to find out.

The noise downstairs was completely isolated, and Louis opened a door: "Please come in."

The room is large, at least one hundred square meters.

The entire room is monochrome, and the first thing you see is a whole wall of books, which can be seen as not decorations, they are all refurbished by Louis, revealing an old cultural atmosphere.The other wall is a small balcony, and the veil hangs quietly.

A raging coal fire was burning in the fireplace, a cushion and a few books were thrown on the circular rug, it could be seen that the owner usually reads here.

There is a poetic spirit in his belly, and Louis's temperament precipitation may come from this.

Even if Yunan was born ten years earlier, he may not be able to catch up.

He was still soaking wet, so Louis didn't delay much, opened the cloakroom and said, "Are your pants wet? You seem to be thinner than me. I have to look for my pants from a few years ago."

Yunan didn't speak.

Louis paused for a moment, then said gently: "Gong Yiluo has a good heart, just such a temperament. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Yu Nan still didn't speak, his wet forehead hair was no longer dripping, it was still wet, his eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and beautiful, just standing like this made people unable to move their eyes away.

Like a child, silently losing his temper.

In fact, Yunan was angry because of his situation.

Louis didn't seem to care, or he was very magnanimous, in short, he gave Yunan his clothes and trousers, and let Yunan close the door.

After only 2 minutes, Yu Nan walked out of the cloakroom fully dressed, and said, "Thank you. I'm going to find Gong Cheng."

Louis smiled slightly: "I understand, you are not angry with Gong Yiluo, you are angry with me."

Yunan stopped in his tracks, looked at Louis unabashedly: "That's right."

Louis puzzled: "Why?"

Yu Nan said bluntly: "I know now, the last time you came to find me in Shu and Tiancheng was intentional, and last time you said you came to hide from the rain and told me that the password was your birthday, it was also intentional. You send The reason why Sister Lin mentioned you is because you want to anger me so that I will have conflicts with Gong Cheng. I will not fall into your trap."

Louis calmly said: "You said it as if I was bullying you. You misunderstood, you are so young, how could I bully you, at most I came to see it out of curiosity. Didn't it affect you? Not good."

Yunan said: "Of course we are fine. You don't want to destroy us."

Louie actually laughed.

Yunan was annoyed by his smile, if he was more mature, he should just leave.

It's a pity that he is only 19 years old and can't stand being provoked. He said angrily, "Why are you laughing? Is there something funny about what I said? Gong Cheng has already broken up with you. You are his younger brother at most now, and he doesn't like you either." , I'm the one with him."

"I'm sorry, I didn't laugh at you," Louis said, "I just thought you were cute."

Yu Nan was even angrier: "What do you mean?"

Louis said: "Don't get excited, I have no ill intentions towards you. You look like you didn't know that I was his younger brother before. Why didn't Gong Cheng tell you?"

Yu Nan blushed: "..."

Louis sighed: "He's always like this, no matter what happens to us, good or bad, he won't tell anyone."

Yu Nan didn't know how to accept the move at all.

Because what Louis said was not wrong, Gong Cheng did not say anything.

"It's the same," Louis said. "Every time we break up, he gets very angry, but he still defends his shortcomings."

Yunan didn't want to hear it anymore.

Gong Cheng did not mention anything about Louis at all, and directly said that he did not want to mention it.

Is that so?

Louis made it clearer: "I don't have the intention to spoil you, because I know him too well. Doing inappropriate things at inappropriate times will only push him further away. When he has played enough, he will Come back, all I need to do is wait. It's interesting that he won't bow first if I don't bow first."

After a pause, Louis said lightly, "We always compete to see who can be stubborn until the end, and whoever asks for reunion first loses. It has happened too many times, and I have become used to it."

Yu Nan's eyes were hot, and he understood what Louis meant: "I won't believe your words, I will ask Gong Cheng myself, don't say anything."

Louis said: "I'm sorry. I really shouldn't be the bad guy. Go find him."

He stepped out of the way.

Yu Nan walked a few steps, then fell back, he looked like he was about to cry, but he still insisted on not admitting defeat: "Don't be so confident, just wait, that's your business. I won't let Gong Cheng came back to look for you."

Unexpectedly, Yunan would come back to challenge him, Louis was surprised.

This kid is really interesting.

"No matter how many times you break up, it's impossible this time." Yu Nan's eyes were red and his expression was firm, "I will hold Gong Cheng firmly, so you should put away these boring tricks. I am young, but It also shows that I have more time and opportunities than you, doesn't it?"

Louis said: "When you say it, I become a bad person."

He shook his head helplessly, "Little friend, you don't understand. You are the supporting role in the story. I didn't want you to be hurt. The ideal ending is for you to get together and get separated."

Yu Nan wanted to say something else, but Louis looked like a person who had a chance to win. He smiled and watched the situation change and remained unmoved, and said indifferently: "We are family members, and we will never really turn our backs on each other. Just like he will never be willing to really burn It's the same as my painting."

Yu Nan was startled.

Louie's painting?that painting—

He was spinning for a while, and the anger after being deceived hadn't dissipated before a trembling of fear swept his whole body.

"At most, he is just looking for a substitute that can make up for the regret." Louis said, "Why would I mind?"

Gong Yiluo knew that he was in trouble, so he couldn't help but want to go upstairs. As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Yu Nan running down like a gust of wind. He even yelled several times, but Yu Nan ignored him and went straight to the gate. He ran away without even his coat on.

Louis then went downstairs and saw Gong Yiluo: "The good deeds you have done, why do you become more childish when you get bigger?"

Gong Yiluo was annoyed: "I already knew I was wrong. Where is Yunan going? Will he sue me?"

Louis glanced outside and just said, "I advise you to surrender yourself."

Gong Yiluo didn't have the courage.

He didn't dare to see if Yu Nan filed a complaint, let alone bring it up, pretending that nothing happened.

It's just a joke, Yu Nan doesn't seem like that kind of stingy person, so he shouldn't mind... right?Gong Yiluo regretted it, he shouldn't have teased Yu Nan.

After working for an hour, Gong Cheng was finally free, and the servants came to invite the guests out to watch the fireworks.

Every New Year's Eve, the palace mansion prepares a grand fireworks show, and people who come to the banquet often take photos and post them on social networking sites.

Knowing that Yu Nan likes to take pictures, Gong Cheng asked Xiao Zhou to find him.

When Xiao Zhou came back, he said, "Mr. Gong, I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find Yu Nan."

Gong Cheng called Yu Nan, but no one answered the phone.

Xiao Zhou searched again.

This time Xiao Zhou discovered something: "I didn't see him in the car, but Yunan's gift is still in the car, he probably didn't go to pick up the gift and came to you, so it wouldn't be a mistake."

"Gift?" Gong Cheng frowned, he didn't know what gift he had.

There is a beautifully packaged box in Xiao Zhou's hand: "Yunan asked me to hide it quietly when I left today. He said it was a New Year's gift for you. It took him more than half a month to finish it."

No wonder fingers hurt.

Gong Cheng took it apart in twos and twos, wanting to see what the little thing was preparing.

It was a hollowed-out rectangular wood-carved lamp with a crystal inlaid in the center, and the lampshade was exquisitely constructed, and every time it was turned, it would present different patterns and meanings.When the switch was turned on, the light turned out to be stored electricity and lit up all of a sudden.

The light is projected on the wall through the crystal.

Gong Cheng understood, these are the four characters of wind, flower, snow and moon.

Yunan gifted him hopeless romance.

At this time, the fireworks bloomed, and the night sky was brilliantly filled with loud noises.

The author has something to say: the car hasn't been turned over yet, and it needs to be turned over again.
