"Well, please come in. ”

Accompanied by Zheng Hengzhao's somewhat tense voice, Gu Shengge walked into Zheng Hengzhao's room with a little curiosity.

What catches your eye is an intricately structured duplex room. In terms of size alone, it has long gone beyond the concept of a 'bedroom'. As soon as you enter the room, the first thing that catches your eye is a ceiling-high bookcase, filled with all kinds of books printed in Chinese and English. Partitioned by tall bookshelves, the room is clearly divided into office and lounge areas. On one side of the office area is a large writing desk and leather chairs, while on the other side of the partition is a cozy-looking lazy couch in the lounge area. The bay window on the side is lined with thick cushions and a delicate small table, and it is clear that this is where Zheng Hengzhao reads. On the side of the wall of the room, there are several black and white steps that rotate like piano keys, and when you walk up the steps, you can see a large soft and comfortable bed. Next to the modern bathroom is a secluded and narrow passageway, on either side of which stand two large wardrobes, which look like Zheng Hengzhao's fitting room. On the opposite side of the queen-size bed are two cream-colored shutters that look out onto the tranquil lake not far from the villa area. In contrast to the modern black, white and grey colours of the office area, the bedroom area on the duplex is often used in soft and warm colours. The matcha-green curtains contrast with the reddish-brown window frames, and a few potted pots of colorful wildflowers on the wood-colored windowsill add a lot of interest to the room.

"I have to say, your room is more ...... than I imagined" With a smile, Gu Shengge's gaze stopped at the carefully arranged photo wall on the silver-gray wallpaper, and the smile at the bottom of his eyes deepened, "...... It's more interesting. ”

"Fun?" Raising his eyebrows in a complicated mood, Zheng Hengzhao followed Gu Shengge's gaze, and the scene as far as his eyes could see made him visibly cramped, "Why is this in my room? Who is hanging here!?"

Bending his eyes to stare at the outstanding-looking boy with the violin in the photo, Gu Shengge couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Slightly curly black hair, long and thick eyelashes. As if standing on a very large stage, the boy was intoxicated with his eyes closed, and the bow of his fingertips shone warmly in the warm light.

The bottom of his heart suddenly slid through the soft touch, and Gu Shengge's eyes looked at the boy in the photo gently. Glancing at Zheng Hengzhao, who was a little unnatural beside him, Gu Shengge bent his eyes and smiled more gently. Just by looking at the photos, you can probably imagine how likable Zheng Hengzhao was when he was a child......

"It was definitely my mom who did it on purpose...... This is all a strategy......" Zheng Hengzhao on the side was still muttering to himself, and couldn't help laughing, Gu Shengge couldn't help but reach out and touch the photo,

"How old are you at this time......?"

"Five, six?" walked to the bay window and sat down, Zheng Hengzhao fiddled with the set of bone china carved tea sets on the small table, "I don't remember clearly, I participated in a lot of competitions at that time, and the photos were similar...... Well, come and sit down, you can see the garden in the back. ”

Somewhat reluctantly taking one last look at the photo, Gu Shengge turned around and walked to sit opposite Zheng Hengzhao, "Actually, I was thinking about it just now...... It would be interesting to meet you as a child. ”

"What are you doing, do you want to bully me?" Raising the corner of his eye, he glanced at Gu Shengge, Zheng Hengzhao picked up a bone china teacup and poured it full of black tea, and put the teacup in front of Gu Shengge, a smile appeared on his lips, "I was very naughty when I was a child, if I met you at that time......

Glancing at Gu Shengge thoughtfully, the smile on the corner of Zheng Hengzhao's lips deepened, "...... A good boy like you will probably be scared away by me. ”

"Come less!" With an expression of obvious disbelief, Gu Shengge took a sip of black tea, and pointed to the photo just now with a smile, "The photo obviously looks much cuter than now, judging from your current bad Cheng Dù, you should have been very well-behaved when you were a child." ”

"Bad, me?" Raising his eyebrows with a smile, Zheng Hengzhao picked up the black tea and enjoyed the aroma, "If you have seen what I looked like when I was a child, I probably only think that I am an angel now!"

Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Gu Shengge lowered his head and took two sugar cubes and threw them into the tea. The warm sunlight shrouded in through the glass, and the grassy breeze blew in through the top window above. Gu Shengge sat comfortably on the cushion of the bay window, watching the square sugar cubes slowly melt in the fragrant black tea, and the moment he picked up the tea, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction inexplicably.

Squinting his eyes happily, Gu Shengge raised his head, and just wanted to accuse the capitalist in front of him who was enjoying everything, but he was stunned by the look on Zheng Hengzhao's face.

I don't know when it started, Zheng Hengzhao in front of him quietly put away all his smiles and became a little preoccupied. He quietly looked out the window, the corners of his lips pursing slightly. The breeze ruffled the broken hair on his forehead, and as if sensing his gaze, he smiled as if nothing had happened. Immediately, he silently turned his face sideways, silently hiding the love in his eyes.

Gu Shengge followed his gaze blankly and suspiciously and turned his head to look out the window, only to see an adjacent villa not far from the Zheng family's garden. But from the outside, there is nothing special about it. He turned his head and glanced at Zheng Hengzhao with some confusion, as if he saw what he wanted to ask, Zheng Hengzhao in front of him slowly showed a smile,

"Just thinking about some things from my childhood. Picking up the black tea and taking a sip lightly, the ink at the bottom of Zheng Hengzhao's eyes was darker, "Do you want to tell you a story?"

Gu Shengge looked at Zheng Hengzhao in front of him in a daze.

No etiquette, no smile. Different from the carelessness of the past, the deep eyes flow with inky black deep meaning.

Almost reflexively, he suddenly took the man's hand.

The wide palms and slender knuckles are familiar to the touch, but with an unfamiliar coldness.

There is no warmth at all.

Holding that hand tightly, Gu Shengge suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable trembling.

His intuition told him that there was a door that was slowly opening to him.

Behind this door--

Zheng Hengzhao, who took off his mask, was pulling the corners of his mouth at him.

Without warning, he will see the world that the man is deep in.

Holding that hand tightly, Gu Shengge couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"Good. ”

He smiled happily.

Zheng Hengxu put down the blender in his hand, propped up the kitchen counter and sighed heavily.

According to the plot in the novel, as the youngest son in the family, shouldn't he have a father who dotes on him, a mother who dotes on him, and a model brother who is obedient to him?

Why did he change the configuration sadly when he came here?

Stirring the cream in the basin angrily, Junior Brother Zheng pursed his mouth sadly.

Not to mention the stern and incomprehensible father outside, who is always wary of his son occupying his wife.

It doesn't matter that the mother who is sitting in the living room at the moment flipping through the photos is very deep in the city, and always takes pleasure in teasing and enslaving her son.

Just talking about the old brother upstairs who left his younger brother to work as a coolie in the kitchen and took his boyfriend (?) upstairs to rest, it is enough for Xiao Brother Zheng to raise the banner and revolt sadly!

-- Prohibition of Child Labor!

was so ignited by his own brain that it couldn't be done, Zheng Xiaodi took advantage of the situation to straighten his chest and shook off the stirrer in his hand violently!

Throwing his hands and striding to the living room, Zheng Xiaodi walked to Zheng's mother who was holding the photo album and took a deep breath, just about to insert his waist and loudly accuse his mother of slavery, Zheng's mother, who was looking down at the photo in front of her, suddenly came down from the corner of her eyes with a string of tears.

Brother Zheng, who was stuck in his waist, was instantly stupid in place.

What's going on, this, this?!......

hurriedly pulled out the tissue, and Brother Zheng stuffed the tissue into his mother's hand in a mess.

"Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong...... Don't cry, I'm not saying anything......"

Choking and taking the tissue from Brother Zheng, Mother Zheng stroked an old photo and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It's too similar...... The eyes, the nose, the way the kid laughed, it was almost like Pei Ya......"

Scratching his hair a little dazed, Brother Zheng leaned over and leaned over. Zheng's mother was still pinching the old photo and sobbing, Zheng Hengxu followed her mother's gaze and took a closer look, and in the photo, Zheng's mother wearing a bachelor's uniform and another girl with a good face held hands, and the two smiled brightly at the camera.

Brother Zheng blinked and looked at it over and over again, and always felt that the girl next to Zheng's mother in the photo had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Fair skin, clear eyebrows and eyes, shallow curved corners of the eyes when you laugh......

Suddenly, his eyes widened, Zheng Hengxu suddenly raised his head and looked upstairs!

This is just like the female version of Gu Shengge......

Lowering her head in some confusion, Zheng Hengxu looked at Zheng's mother who was constantly wiping her tears on the side, and was a little confused for a while.

This woman ...... Exactly......

"As a kid, I didn't really like the country. ”

Sitting on the cushion of the bay window, Zheng Hengzhao put down the black tea in his hand and looked straight at Gu Shengge opposite.

"When I first came to the UK, I was surrounded by unfamiliar languages and no one could understand what I was saying. Because of the language barrier, my parents were afraid that I would get lost, so they locked me in the villa all day. ”

As if thinking of that very boring memory, Zheng Hengzhao shrugged his shoulders a little self-deprecatingly, "I spent the most boring month of my childhood in this villa until I met the old man who lived next door. ”

He ...... Do you live in that villa?" Turning his head to point to the villa outside the window, Gu Shengge looked at Zheng Hengzhao with a smile in his eyes.

"Yes, that's right. The deep meaning of the ink slipped under his eyes, and Zheng Hengzhao stared at Gu Shengge in front of him steadily, "...... He was the first Chinese I met in this villa area. The first time we met, I inadvertently smashed his beloved orchid with a remote-controlled car. At that time, he was angry, but he still endured it and didn't blame me. ”

"Well, he must have a good temper," smiling and squinting his eyes, Gu Shengge was a little surprised, "I heard that orchids are very difficult to raise, so I don't blame you, he must like children very much." ”

“...... Like children?" Repeating thoughtfully, Zheng Hengzhao smiled and shook his head, "No, I think it's more than that. Actually, I verified this later—"

After a slight pause, he looked at Gu Shengge's eyes meaningfully,

"He'll forgive me, but because he misses my grandson too much......"
