The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Tao Zhi simply decided not to go home that night. In order to make the play more realistic, he pinched his neck a few times other than the wound. After sleeping all night, he woke up with bruises all over his neck.

It was already noon when they returned to the villa. Tao Zhi walked into the house with his coat and saw Gong Cheng sleeping on the steps leaning against the handrail.

Gong Cheng woke up when he heard footsteps, and walked towards Tao Zhi with red and swollen eyes. His feet must have been numb from sitting for too long, and he staggered and almost fell when he walked over.

"Have you eaten yet, sir? I will ask the butler to prepare the meal?"

Gong Cheng tried hard to put a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the hurt in his eyes.

Tao Zhi calmed himself down, threw his coat casually on the bench, took a deep breath, and then spoke out the words he had rehearsed the entire night.

He said, "Gong Cheng, let's terminate our sponsorship agreement early."

Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this. His pupils contracted for a moment. The smile on his lips almost disappeared. He grabbed Tao Zhi's wrist helplessly.

"Sir, I don't understand." Gong Cheng said in a trembling voice.

Tao Zhi's face showed impatience.

"Is this sentence difficult to understand? I've had enough of you, I'm tired of you, I'm fed up with you, I don't love you anymore, I want to dump you. Do you want me to be more straightforward?"

"I thought you were a smart man. You should have been able to see that I was tired of you during this period of time." Tao Zhi said.

Gong Cheng grabbed Tao Zhi's wrist and exerted so much force that Tao Zhi frowned in pain.

"I don't believe it, you lied to me." Gong Cheng said.

Tao Zhi laughed when he heard this, as if Gong Cheng's words were a joke.

"Why would I lie to you? Who do you think you are? I just picked up these random cats and dogs from the club. Now I've had enough of playing with them and want to abandon them. Is that weird?"

Pain surged in Gong Cheng's eyes, full of disbelief, and tears burst out in an instant, wetting his cheeks.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? This is not what you wanted to say to me, right? Sir, do you have any difficulties? Can you tell me?" Gong Cheng said almost pleadingly.

Tao Zhi felt pained when he saw this, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. Tao Zhi's brows became firm and he forced himself to suppress the emotions in his heart.

"You already know what a rotten person I am. I cheated on as many people as I played with before you. This is a well-known fact. Do you think you are unique?"

"Gong Cheng, why are you acting so sad in front of me now?"

"You were willing to follow me in the first place just for the money, and since you were kept by me, you have been enjoying the material supplies I brought you, and you have secretly enjoyed it many times, right?"

"In the final analysis, the transaction between us is a money transaction. You want my money, and I want to have fun. If I am happy, I will tease you. If I am not happy, you have to get out of here like the previous person."

Tao Zhi opened his mouth to say more, but Gong Cheng had already pounced on him and hugged Tao Zhi into his arms, as if he wanted to rub him into his bones.

"Stop talking, please stop talking." Gong Cheng choked.

Tao Zhi couldn't stop shaking all over. The intense pain in his heart almost made him unable to go on. Tao Zhi gritted his teeth and pushed Gong Cheng away, causing Gong Cheng to fall to the ground in a mess.

Tao Zhi pulled up a sarcastic smile and looked down at Gong Cheng with a condescending attitude. Then he bent down as if condescending and pinched Gong Cheng's chin with his fingers.

"You're pretending to be so affectionate, but in the end it's all about money. The only difference between you and a duck is that you have a noble face." Tao Zhi said.

Gong Cheng's eyes were filled with sadness, and he couldn't believe that Tao Zhihui would describe him in such a terrible way.

"You ate my food and drank my drinks all this time, and even your mother depended on me for support. Have I ever treated you unfairly?"

"How did your family repay me in the end? The knife wound on my neck hasn't healed yet."

"Even you can't even graduate successfully. What's the difference between you and a loser? I feel ashamed to be around you."

"The situation you are in now is nothing but your own fault. You deserve it."

"You still want to rely on me? Do I have to give you some breakup fee to get rid of you successfully?" Tao Zhi said with a smile.

Gong Cheng struggled to get up, knelt on the ground, hugged Tao Zhi's legs, and helplessly held him in his arms.

"Don't chase me away, please sir, I love you, you know I love you, please don't chase me away, okay?"

Gong Cheng's face was covered with tears, and he looked extremely embarrassed, unlike his usual calm appearance.

Tao Zhi looked at Gong Cheng, who was begging in a humble manner, and tears almost came out of his eyes. Tao Zhi bit his tongue to hold back the emotions that were about to burst out.

"Don't you feel ashamed to beg me for mercy with tears in your eyes just to stay here?"

"Gong Cheng, where is your self-esteem?" Tao Zhi said coldly.

Before Tao Zhi could say more, Gong Cheng suddenly grabbed Tao Zhi's hand and pulled him over. Tao Zhi couldn't pull away in time and fell forward, landing beside Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng immediately pounced on Tao Zhi and sat on his waist, pressing his shoulders with both hands to make him unable to move.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"You obviously love me, why are you driving me away?"

"You started to act strange since Gu Dongnan returned to China last year. During this time, I knew you were hiding a lot of things from me."

"I didn't dare to ask, I didn't dare to think, I thought as long as I played dumb, I could stay with you forever as long as I was obedient and sensible."

"But now I realize that I was extremely wrong. Please tell me, what's wrong? Why are you so deliberately distancing yourself from me and so eager to push me away?"

Gong Cheng's tears flowed down the tip of his nose into Tao Zhi's eyes, dripped from the corners of his eyes, and wet Tao Zhi's temples.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether those were Gong Cheng's tears or Tao Zhi's tears.

Tao Zhi's hand trembled as he reached out to Gong Cheng's face, but when it was almost touching him, he turned around and pushed Gong Cheng.

"Gong Cheng, you know what? I really hate you crying."

"You can't do anything right. You just cry no matter what happens. Just like now, I won't have pity or sympathy. Looking at your tears, I can only feel disgust from the bottom of my heart."

"Gong Cheng, leave yourself the last bit of dignity and leave." Tao Zhi's voice was unusually hoarse.

Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this, but his tears still flowed uncontrollably.

Gong Cheng grabbed Tao Zhi's collar with both hands, looked at the bandage on his neck and the dense kiss marks around the bandage, and felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if his intestines and lungs were being pulled out, which was unbearable.

I should have known the gap between myself and my husband long ago. I am a good-for-nothing and have brought nothing but misfortune to him from the beginning to the end. Yet I despicably coveted his gentleness for so long.

Gong Cheng leaned his head weakly on Tao Zhi's chest, his tears wet Tao Zhi's clothes. Gong Cheng's sobbing became louder and louder, his back was bent and hunched, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Tao Zhi remained silent, with red eyes, and let Gong Cheng cry on him.

Until the crying gradually stopped, Gong Cheng raised his head. The mist in his eyes made it almost impossible for Gong Cheng to see Tao Zhi's face.

Gong Cheng gently stroked Tao Zhi's eyebrows with his hands.

"Sir, I will listen to you in everything, including letting me leave you," said Gong Cheng.

When Gong Cheng stood up and walked out the door, his figure gradually disappeared, and Tao Zhicai collapsed as if he had lost his breath, and merged into the dirty dust like mud.

Tao Zhi's heartbeat slowed to an extreme level, as if it would stop in the next second.

Tao Zhi's lips did not tremble until the tears silently slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Tao Zhi bit his lower lip, trying to suppress the emotions that were about to burst out from his lips and teeth. Blood spread from the corners of his lips, and crying finally broke out.

Tao Zhi curled up and cried like a baby in swaddling clothes. The empty hall was filled with crying sounds.

The housekeeper walked up helplessly and picked up Tao Zhi skillfully. Tao Zhi continued crying and howling at the top of his lungs.

The housekeeper carried Tao Zhi upstairs, gently placed the crying Tao Zhi on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then brought a pot of warm water and a pack of tissues and placed them on the bedside table.

Finally, he quietly closed the door and left the space to Tao Zhi.
