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

After getting off the plane, Tao Zhi came out holding the painting. Gong Cheng, dressed in formal attire, walked on one side, a little behind. People passing by would occasionally cast their eyes on Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng.

After all, Tao Zhi's posture of holding the painting is very similar to that of holding a portrait.

After leaving the airport, Tao Zhi was too lazy to call the driver to pick him up, and he had to wait for him to come, which would take a lot of time. He was simply about to stop a car, but Gong Cheng walked up to him.

"My car is in the underground parking lot. I'll take you back." Gong Cheng said.

"No need, you are a busy man. I am very tired after flying all day today. I am rushing home to reunite with my son so as not to delay Vice President Gong from returning to work in the company." Tao Zhi said.

Gong Cheng pursed his lips and thought about it, then came up with an explanation.

"You said a few days ago that you could raise the puppy I picked up. Do you want to pick it up today?" Gong Cheng asked.

Tao Zhi's eyes lit up visibly when he heard that.

"Okay, it's a good opportunity to bring a friend back to little Baka." Tao Zhi said with a smile.

Tao Zhi got in the car and fastened his seat belt consciously, and Gong Cheng drove the car to the pet hospital.

Tao Zhi suddenly remembered that the bun shop owner mentioned that Gong Cheng gave him something, and he became curious for a moment.

"What did you give the boss?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Nothing, just some small things." Gong Cheng replied nonchalantly.

"So what is this little thing?" Tao Zhi asked again.

"It was just a signed contract." Gong Cheng replied.

"So what is the content of the contract?" Tao Zhi asked again.

"Transfer some things." Gong Cheng replied.

Tao Zhi grinned when he heard this, and his face was full of colors.

If you want to know the purpose of Gong Cheng's words, it is to arouse the reading interest of Tao Zhi, the "reader".

Tao Zhi felt as if there was a breath stuck in his chest that couldn't go up or down, so he began to take deep breaths.

If blood pressure had a force, Tao Zhi's head would have been blown off by now.

Does Gong Cheng want to suffocate himself to death?

There is a feeling of listening to a word from you and listening to a word from you.

If I am suffocated to death by Gong Cheng, can it be considered a successful revenge and the mission accomplished?

"If you don't want to say it, then forget it. I don't really want to know." Tao Zhi curled his lips.

There was a red light ahead, so Gong Cheng stopped the car, glanced sideways, and set his sights on the painting in Tao Zhi's arms.

"What about you? What's the painting in your arms?" Gong Cheng asked.

"Hey, I won't tell you either. You'll never know what's inside in your life."

"Maybe when you are old and lying on the hospital bed, you suddenly remember it and worry about what you drew, and then you refuse to die. Then you will regret making me uncomfortable just now." Tao Zhi said proudly.

Gong Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard that. Coincidentally, the green light came on, and Gong Cheng turned his gaze back to the front. It seemed that he was not that interested in the painting in Tao Zhi's arms.

Tao Zhi just felt anxious and upset. Why did he feel so defeated?

When the two arrived at the pet hospital, the staff led Gong Cheng and Tao Zhi to the puppy's cage.

The little puppy inside was sleeping, huddled in a corner, so small that it could be held in two hands. Tao Zhi's heart melted at first sight.

As if it smelled a familiar scent, the puppy pouted its nose, raised its head in a daze, and stood up tremblingly. When it saw Gong Cheng outside the cage, it started howling with wet eyes, and was eager to get out of the cage.

Gong Cheng carried the puppy out. The puppy was eager to get into Gong Cheng's arms, opening its mouth and howling. While it was howling, Tao Zhi rubbed the puppy a few times and put it aside, enjoying the touch.

After the two got in the car, Gong Cheng stuffed the puppy into Tao Zhi's arms and continued driving.

When the puppy fell into Tao Zhi's hands, it was like a mouse in a cat's nest.

Tao Zhi, with a lewd smile on his face, touched the puppy all over and pulled it all over. He never tired of using the puppy's paws to cover its own eyes, and then played the game of "can't see, can see again".

The puppy fell asleep between Tao Zhi's thighs, its two ears drooping to one side, its tongue hanging out of its mouth, and its four little feet swaying slightly as the car bumped along.

Tao Zhi raised his head and looked out the window.

"Isn't this the way back to my house?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Well, let's go to where I live first and take its little doll and food with it." Gong Cheng explained.

"What's there to take with you? Just buy it a new one." Tao Zhi said indifferently.

Hearing this, Gong Cheng lowered his eyes, feeling a little depressed.

"When the puppy moves to a new environment, try not to change the brand of dog food. I still have some left. Let it eat it to get used to it."

"Also...it likes that doll very much. When I picked it up, the doll was with it." Gong Cheng said.

Tao Zhi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, but he couldn't explain the feeling.

"I know, I know. You are its biological father and I am its stepfather. It hasn't come into my hands yet, so I'll listen to you first." Tao Zhi said.

The car drove into the residential complex. Tao Zhi looked more and more familiarly and suddenly remembered that this was the residential complex where Gong Cheng used to live with his mother.

After many twists and turns, Gongcheng is back to square one?

No, Gong Cheng is a vice president after all, he shouldn’t be so poor that he has to live here, right?

Gong Cheng helped Tao Zhi open the car door, and Tao Zhi got out holding the puppy.

There was no elevator in the old community. Gong Cheng walked up the stairs, but after a few steps he found that Tao Zhi had not followed him. He turned around and looked down at Tao Zhi, who was a little nervous.

"Aren't you coming up?" Gong Cheng asked.

"I won't go up. Your mother probably won't be happy to see me." Tao Zhi said.

Gong Cheng was silent for a few breaths after hearing this, and then he spoke.

"She died." said Gong Cheng.

Tao Zhi was still looking at the puppy in his arms. He looked up suddenly when he heard the sound, his eyes full of surprise. His gaze met Gong Cheng's sad eyes. He felt his heart tighten and he forgot to breathe.

In other words, he has no relatives in this world anymore.

He was the only one left.

"When...was it?" Tao Zhi asked in a hoarse voice.

"Not long after we went to the United States three years ago." Gong Cheng replied.

Tao Zhi's nose felt sore and his eyes turned red when he heard this.

In other words, when Gongcheng's degree certificate was revoked and he was exposed as a homosexual, she abandoned him and forced him to leave his homeland and go to a foreign country.

And just when he felt most helpless in his life, he faced the blow of losing his mother alone.

"I..." Tao Zhi wanted to say more but was interrupted by Gong Cheng.

"Come up, it's not convenient for me to carry the things by myself." Gong Cheng said.

Tao Zhi didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and followed with the puppy in his arms. As the key turned, the door opened and Tao Zhi followed Gong Cheng in.

The house was literally bare, with only a bed and a table.

When Tao Zhi came here before, he thought this place was too small to stay here, but now he feels that this room is so empty that it can't even be called a home, it's just a place to sleep.

Gong Cheng bent down and packed up the puppy's things, including the puppy's paper box, to give it a sense of security while it was adapting to the environment.

Tao Zhi looked at Gong Cheng's back as he packed his things.

"Why don't you buy a nicer house and hire two servants?"

"There's hardly any sunlight coming in here. It's so dark. I remember you used to be able to cook, but why is your kitchen so empty? There's not even any seasoning or anything?"

"Then what do you do about your meals? Do you eat in the company cafeteria or order takeout every day?" Tao Zhi asked.

Seeing that Gong Cheng ignored him, Tao Zhi stopped making trouble for himself.

As the protagonist, shouldn’t Gong Cheng have a colorful life during this period of time?

How come it's so miserable?

"It's just a place to sleep." Gong Cheng said indifferently.

Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Yes, a home without mom is not a home, it is just an empty house.
