Zhou Ran, who was regarded by someone as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, sat on the sofa boredly, holding his chin and looking at the man in the kitchen who was busy with an apron.

The tall man held a mobile phone in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, looking at the fish on the board, his eyebrows furrowed. The page on the phone shows how to deal with the fish, but someone is holding a knife and pondering.

Zhou Ran watched him staring at a fish there for a long time without blinking, but he didn't make the next move, so he put on his hair and dragged him over.

"What's wrong? Let me see. She stood on tiptoe to look at the man's phone.

Watching her tiptoeing movements, Gu Cheng put down the kitchen knife in his hand and lowered the mobile phone a little.

"Fishy??" Zhou Ran glanced at the page of his mobile phone, then raised his head to look at him, "Gu Chengze, won't you give fish a fish?" ”

"No, it won't." He looked down at her cheeks, his voice was light, he had never eaten fish in more than a decade.

"It's also ......" Zhou Ran said, with his identity, where can he do it himself to eat a fish, and with an order, I am afraid that various flavors of fish will be listed in front of him soon.

"Sichuan pepper, pepper, wine, ginger and vinegar can be fishy, cut the ginger into shreds, mix with vinegar, and marinate for a while with some wine, pepper and peppercorns." After she washed her hands, she picked up the ginger he had already scraped and began to cut it, "You don't need to marinate it for too long, otherwise it won't taste good." ”

She was babbling and talking, and Gu Cheng stood aside and looked at her quietly, listening very carefully, with a faint smile on her thin lips.

"The first time I ate fish was on a rainy day, and I was so hungry that I ate carp kept in a pond." Gu Cheng leaned on the refrigerator and watched her skillfully cut the ginger shreds, "No one told me that I needed to scrape off the scales, and I didn't even take out its internal organs." ”

She stopped her hand and turned to look at him.

"I ate more than 20 in one go, until I was discovered by someone in the family." He raised his hand and scooped up the long hair behind her and wrapped it around his fingertips, "From then on, everyone said that the Gu family was not a human being, but a monster with no humanity. ”

To this day, he still remembers how frightened and screamed when the subordinate saw him with his mouth covered in blood, as if he had seen the most terrible thing in the world.

"How old were you then?" Zhou Ran looked into his eyes.

"Seven years old."

He recounts his past experiences lightly, as if telling an innocuous story, and the protagonist in this story is not him.

What would make a seven-year-old so hungry that he has to go to the pond to catch live fish and eat? Zhou Ran looked at the man in front of him who was so noble that he looked up to the mountains, and seemed to see his gray childhood and cold and ruthless past without a trace of color.

It seems that the Gu family in Kyoto is no less treacherous than that of other wealthy families, and it is even more unfathomable, so it is no wonder that a man like Gu Chengze will be rumoredly mean and ruthless......

"Is Mr. Gu sharing your past with me?"

"No ......"

Gu Cheng groaned, raised his hand to cover the green silk in her ear, the tip of his thumb gently rubbed her cheek, and his thin lips moved, "I just want you to know me better." ”

The emotions surging in his eyes made Zhou Ran dazed for a moment, as if something had gone beyond her prediction, making her puzzled.
