"Mr. Gu, what's wrong?"

Seeing Gu Chengye suddenly standing motionless at the door, Lu Xingkong asked in some surprise.

Gu Cheng looked at the starry sky at night, his dark eyes were full of thoughtful and gentle light.

The eyes of the two met, Lu Xingkong lowered her eyes a little shyly, and a lovely blush quickly flew over her cheeks.

"Aunt Zhao seems to have just gone back."

Aunt Zhao in Luxingkong's mouth is a servant who regularly comes to the Gu family's mansion every day to prepare meals.

When she usually leaves the mansion, she is always used to placing the slippers of Lu Xingkong and Gu Chengye in the shape of "welcome home" and placing them at the entrance.

This somewhat nagging and even somewhat serious middle-aged woman has just been a maid for a year.

In addition to being diligent and capable, in the face of the relationship between Lu Xingkong and Gu Chengye, he did not delve into it and snooped on his privacy.

Although Gu Chengye didn't say it, he actually liked this servant more.

Lu Xingkong is used to Gu Chengye's taciturnity, and as long as he observes his words, he can probably respond.

When he first came, although Gu Chengye was subconsciously indifferent, he was no longer so unconsciously reckless.

However, he was naturally dull, and it was not easy for him to rap immediately.

Knowing that his wordlessness often brings trouble to the deer starry sky, he clumsily doesn't know how to improve it.

However, after getting along for a long time, the two gradually became less difficult to communicate, and they could perceive each other's thoughts by feeling.

To the left of the entrance is the tea room.

Gu Chengye opened the door and walked in, and Lu Xingkong, who was carrying a duffel bag, also came in.

After taking off his suit and handing it to her, Gu Chengye sat down at the table in the middle.

Lu Xingkong hung his suit on his wrist, said "I'll make tea" and walked out of the tea room.

Footsteps made their way up the stairs, and after putting their things on the second floor, they went downstairs to the kitchen in the deepest part of the north.

What a neat woman.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one saw Gu Chengye, he smiled softly.

Outside she is her own secretary, at home at home?

Gu Chengye furrowed his brows.

When he first brought Lu Xingkong back, he used her as a servant. There is a reason for ransom of 100 million to redeem her from Tang Yi, and it seems that it is the most natural thing to treat her like this. He didn't intend to do charity, and he didn't want to be treated as a gentle and kind man.

In addition to the deer starry sky itself, Gu Chengye wants to keep this in mind.

In addition, he didn't want Lu Xingkong to misunderstand that he was in love with her beauty. He knew he had an inexplicable vanity.

Later, because he couldn't resist his feelings and had a relationship, Gu Chengye was not as reckless as before. He slowly opened his heart and finally came to this point. It was amazing to say, he never thought that he could accept and love someone like this, and he thought that this feeling had disappeared long ago.

The feeling of wanting to love and be loved, the strong emotion, melted the iceberg in Gu Chengye's heart inch by inch, penetrated into the internal organs, and began to shake the emotions that he had suppressed and controlled.

It was not just a physical impulse, but a deeper and more intense love.

He tasted what it means to be haunted by dreams, a feeling that makes his whole body paralyzed and tremble, and he can't help but shudder when he thinks about it.

No matter how self-reliant he is, he can't resist it.

Even if only the two of them are alone, there is rarely any sweetness brewing.

This is already his innate character.

Although he will wonder what Lu Xingkong is in his heart, he will hesitate to say the word "lover" again and again, and it is impossible to express it with direct actions.

The door to the kitchen side was pulled open, and Deer Starry Sky walked in with a tray.

"I've put the bath water in it."

She put the tea set on the tray in Gu Chengye's hand.

"Okay."

Gu Chengye, who answered briefly, lifted the lid of the cup and looked at the beautiful yellow-green sencha inside, tasting the fragrance.

Even if you brew enough tea to be appreciated. Gu Chengye still drank silently. If he is not satisfied, he will ask the deer starry sky to rebubble, and he will not praise it if he likes it. In the eyes of others, you probably think how awkward these two people look.

"Do you want to eat first?"

"Are you ready?"

"Nope. Because I wasn't sure when you would come back, I didn't tell Aunt Zhao to prepare. ”

Lu Xingkong explained apologetically, and then said cautiously: "If you can, I'll cook the food, or do you want to order takeout?"

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to stir-fry or make a Chinese salad or something."

You should have read the ingredients in the refrigerator before Lu Xingkong would answer so smoothly.

Seeing Gu Chengye snort from his nose by inertia, a gentle smile appeared on Lu Xingkong's face. As long as Gu Chengye didn't say no, no matter how cold his attitude was, it was equivalent to "yes".

"Then I'll go ...... right away"

Gu Cheng semi-reflexively grabbed the wrist of Lu Xingkong, who was always quiet.

"Mr. Gu?"

The half-up deer starry sky had a hint of joy in confusion.

Gu Chengye, who pursed his lips, pulled Lu Xingkong's wrist.

The eyes of the two were intertwined, and it was Lu Xingkong who turned his face slightly and lowered his long eyelashes.

Gu Chengye stared at the beautiful face in front of him unwillingly, full of intellectual and resolute beauty, which made him not look at it enough.

He let go of Lu Xingkong's hand first.

The deer starry sky is very thin, but not the kind of sickly thin, and the body line is very beautiful.

Gu Chengye brought her closer to him.

The two met again.

Then, Gu Chengye blocked Lu Xingkong's half-opened lips as he wanted to say something.

The deer starry sky moaned softly, and immediately disappeared into the kiss.

The two hugged each other and kissed.

Gu Chengye let go of his lips lovingly, and pushed Lu Xingkong's shoulder away as if it was over.

He knew that this attitude was self-willed and egoistic, but this was who he was.

How nice would it be if you could caress Lu Xingkong's cheek and say a few sweet words to him? In this way, the relationship between the two will definitely improve greatly.

But Gu Chengye really couldn't do it, and I believe that Lu Xingkong didn't have any expectations.

“…… Do you want a beer?"

The reddish deer starry sky asked softly.

"Okay." Gu Chengye replied stiffly.

After saying "Please wait a moment", Lu Xingkong immediately walked out, and soon came in with cold beer and a plate of fried eel bones.

When Gu Cheng drank the beer that Lu Xingkong filled for himself, Lu Xingkong walked out again. I guess I'm going to the kitchen to make dinner.

Drinking beer with side dishes, although it is a very common relaxed situation in ordinary families, it is very satisfying for Gu Chengye.

He lives under the same roof with someone who is not an outsider, which is very different from the feeling of having a driver and bodyguard live in his own home.

Since tasting this simple but warm little happiness, something else has almost eclipsed in his eyes.

The desire to actively work hard is no longer strong, and as for money and possessions, I feel that it is enough in my lifetime.

The satisfaction he had never felt during the period of hard work was now full of satisfaction in his heart.

He understood that he was getting what money couldn't buy.

He no longer had the ambition to expand his career. I just want to run the six companies in my hands well, train people who can take on important responsibilities, and slowly hand over the company to them so that he can have his own time. Otherwise, if he continues like this, he won't even have time to take a long leave to go out. Up to now. He hadn't taken the deer on a trip yet.

While thinking in his mind, Gu Chengye was drinking beer alone in the tea room where there was no TV, and he felt that time seemed to pass quickly.

The family rarely turns on the TV, and at most occasionally watches financial news.

Hardly ever switched to entertainment channels.

Lu Xingkong is also the kind of person who doesn't have a voice and doesn't care, she doesn't have a TV in the room on the second floor, and she never heard her say that she wants to buy it herself, so she should be really not interested.

For showbiz or popular things, Lu Xingkong may be more obtuse than Gu Chengye. I'm afraid it's because she's been living in a special environment.

The door was pulled open again. This time, Deer Starry Sky came in with a larger tray.

"Sorry, it took a little longer."

While putting the cutlery on the table, Lu Xingkong apologized. Maybe it was because he saw that the beer bottle was empty, and he felt that Gu Chengye had waited too long.

The white smoke of the mixed stir-fry made people appetite, and Gu Chengye had an urge to raise his chopsticks in a hurry.

He sighed and thought, Lu Xingkong is really a hard worker.

I remember when we first met, Lu Xingkong didn't even hold a kitchen knife, and it was hard enough to make dishes that made people unappetizing, but I didn't expect that now my cooking skills are getting better and better, and I have my own specialty dishes. This may be due to her personality of not admitting defeat in everything.

Thinking of this, Gu Chengye couldn't help but smile.

With full gratitude, Gu Chengye silently raised his chopsticks.

It tastes so good, and it's delicious.

"Would you like me to bring another beer?"

Deer Starry Sky wanted to stand up.

"Do you want to drink it too?"

Lu Xingkong looked at Gu Chengye a little weakly.

“…… No. ”

Deer Starry Sky has little immunity to alcohol. She is easily drunk in physique, and she hardly drinks alcohol except for occasions that must be attended.

If Gu Chengye hadn't forced her to drink, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to drink with her at dinner.

"Then you don't have to. Sit down, don't get busy with me. ”

"Yes."

The neck of the deer starry sky seems to be slightly red.

Due to her fair complexion, it is easy to observe her reaction just by looking at the changes in skin tone.

Recently, Gu Chengye can already slowly distinguish Lu Xingkong's complexion when he is not feeling well, or when he changes due to emotional fluctuations.

The two sat facing each other for a quiet dinner.

Even if there are no words, the air is not stagnant and dull, and the silence could not be more natural.

Gu Chengye didn't hate this wordless but gentle tranquility, and glanced at Lu Xingkong a few times, she didn't seem to be particularly cramped and uneasy.

The silent dinner ended very quickly, and Gu Chengye, who was drinking tea after dinner, stared at the starry sky.

Lu Xingkong, who had not yet eaten enough, felt Gu Chengye's eyes, and became a little unnatural, as if he was ashamed to be stared at.

Gu Chengye can understand her mood, and he probably won't be able to eat it if he were himself.

He withdrew his gaze and slowly stood up.

Lu Xingkong quickly raised his head and looked up at the slender Gu Chengye.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Ah, yes."

After using his eyes to stop the deer starry sky who was hurriedly trying to stand up, Gu Chengye walked out of the tea room.

"Come here when you're full." He said with his back to the deer starry sky. "It's been a long time since you've washed my back."

Even with his back to the deer starry sky, Gu Chengye seemed to be able to imagine her expression.

Walking into the bathroom, I saw that the bathtub was covered with an insulated lid, and Lu Xingkong must have wanted to open the lid first.

Gu Chengye smiled bitterly and reached out to lift the lid.

He was amused by Lu Xingkong's attitude of not liking to let himself meddle in family affairs.

Although he looks like a big man, he is not ambiguous in family affairs.

It's just that he's not as proficient and uninterested as Lu Xingkong, so he hires a servant to take care of it.

There's nothing to be proud of, but if he wants to cook, he can only make a decent dish for the first three days, and then he has to eat instant noodles every day.

I tried the water temperature and it was just right.

He took off his clothes and weighed himself before entering the bathroom. It seems to have lost a little weight again.

I guess it was because I played golf yesterday. Yesterday, the court was a famous place where water was running out of water recently, and the fire brigade chose the lawn there for water release training, and well-known foreign golfers often participated in the competition.

In high season, you can also see the beautiful scenery of the lawn in front of you. From the start of the game in six minutes, it seems that the social downturn has had little effect here.

Gu Chengye thought that because he happened to be in the same group as An Gang, he was in an unhappy mood, so he acted rashly. In addition to his own emotions, Angang seems to deliberately touch the deer starry sky from time to time is also one of the reasons.

Gu Chengye unconsciously slapped the surface of the water hard, and the water that spilled out flowed along the bathtub to the tiles.

He didn't care about An Gang's private life, but he couldn't bear to take Lu Xingkong as the object of his obscenity. That third-generation son-in-law, Gu Chengye thought hatefully in his heart. The arrogant look of the other party also displeased him.

When playing, he missed four chances to score because he didn't control the strength of his hands, not to mention the miserable scoring. It seems that there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of mind control.

While thinking of An Gang, Gu Chengye suddenly remembered the man who was pestering Lu Xingkong at the airport just now.

He hadn't seen the man.

Of course, he is not very familiar with everyone around Tang Yi, but if the other party is Tang Yi's subordinate, it is impossible for him not to even look at it.

And judging intuitively, that man should have nothing to do with the underworld.

And Lu Xingkong's attitude seems to be different from her usual.

I think it's a friend I met before, right?

Although he didn't hear the content of the conversation between the two, the man's attitude towards Lu Xingkong was obviously full of intimidation and superiority. That look of hatred and sometimes triumph on his face says it all. And from the sharp cheekbones and slender eyes, it can be seen that the man is a man who does not like to lose.

Seeing that Lu Xingkong rarely spoke but looked pale, Gu Chengye could guess that he must have been tortured by the man's words.

Should he ask?

Every time he encountered a similar situation, Gu Cheng nightclub subconsciously hesitated and complained that he didn't know the essentials.

He didn't know what to do to be good for Lu Xingkong. Therefore, I often hesitate about whether to interfere or not.

If you want to ask yourself, Lu Xingkong should take the initiative to mention it.

It's just that he also knows that Lu Xingkong's personality will not take the initiative to show weakness.

After a few hesitations, I missed the opportunity to ask. Like just now.

Although I don't know what the man said to Lu Xingkong, as long as Lu Xingkong needs it, it is enough for him to be within reach at any time.

That's all he can do anyway.

Deer Starry Sky appears in the dressing room outside the bathroom, and she can be seen faintly wearing her clothes through the foggy glass.

"Take it off and come back in." Gu Chengye said immediately.

Lu Xingkong's hand trembled as he tried to pull the door.

"Yes."

She replied shyly, and began to take off her clothes.

Even if he looked through the fog glass, it made Gu Chengye feel dizzy.

What is the relationship already? Gu Chengye almost wanted to laugh.

Lu Xingkong, who was also self-conscious, couldn't help but bow his head shyly when he was face to face with Gu Chengye.

"Wash my back."

Gu Chengye bent over and sat on the bath chair in front of the mirror, with his back to the deer starry sky.

Lu Xingkong first soaked the towel in the bucket and then smeared it with soap, and then rubbed Gu Chengye's back.

Gu Chengye closed his eyes intoxicated.

After finishing the washing of the back, Lu Xingkong, who was a little hesitant, began to clean the front of Gu Chengye.

Gu Chengye opened his eyes, stared at the top of the head of the bent deer starry sky, and chased her hair with his eyes, the delicate hair made Gu Chengye couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Lu Xingkong raised his head and grabbed his arm.

Then wash with a towel from the right hand to the left hand.

The same is true when washing your feet, wash them cleanly.

Gu Chengye's body heated up uncontrollably.

The body also began to change significantly.

This is the reaction of any physiologically healthy man, and there is no way to hide it.

Lu Xingkong noticed the changes in Gu Chengye's body, and continued after hesitating for a moment.

The two hugged each other.

On the other side of the tub is a glass panel.

It's getting dark outside. The garden is equipped with automatic lighting and is lit up with lantern-like night lights. Looking out from the bathroom, you can see the courtyard shrouded in a warm orange glow.

The small pond is surrounded by beautiful purple flowers.

"It's beautiful."

Looking at the same scene as Gu Chengye, the deer starry sky said with a sigh.

"yes."

Gu Chengye also rarely responded softly.

It occurred to him that the death day of that guy was approaching.

That guy, that is, my sister's face. It no longer stabbed Gu Chengye's heart as before. Since he told Lu Xingkong everything in front of his sister's grave last year, the years of depression in his heart have been solved.

"Are you going this year?"

Hearing Gu Chengye's abrupt questioning, Lu Xingkong did not panic. The two of them should have the same thing in mind.

"If you don't mind, of course I'd like to go along."

Deer Starry Sky replied without hesitation.

For the person who doesn't even have a one-sided relationship, Lu Xingkong also has his own feelings.

Gu Chengye touched Lu Xingkong's head, and Lu Xingkong shrank his neck after shaking for a moment.

"I'll go out first."

"Yes."

Lu Xingkong pressed the back of his neck and looked up at Gu Chengye, who got up and was about to walk out of the bathroom.

"It's still early, I'll be on the second floor later."

That is, to sleep.

It's already something that doesn't need to be said explicitly, and Lu Xingkong still lowered his head silently and blushed.

Putting on the bathrobe prepared for himself by Lu Xingkong, Gu Cheng dried his hair and brushed his teeth in front of the washbasin at night. In the meantime, there was a faint sound of deer starry sky cleaning in the bathroom.

Gu Cheng left the locker room at night.

While checking that the portal was closed, he also looked into the kitchen.

Lu Xingkong, who was serious about everything, put the dishes for two people into the dishwasher before entering the bathroom, and Gu Chengye had nothing to do at all.

He opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of mineral water. I went to the second floor.
