I am very poor

It was just a little past four in the morning.

The dark, dark room was as quiet as if the whole world had fallen asleep.

Only the clock is ticking forward.

In his sleep, Gu Cheng took a light breath and opened his eyes.

The ambiguous and fragrant dream disappeared in an instant, and overlapped with the dim room in an instant.

Put him in a trance.

However, the difference is that the person who was tightly bound on the bed in the dream had one arm lightly around his waist, breathing softly and evenly, and sleeping soundly.

Gu Cheng felt his heart pounding, his voice became heavier and more anxious.

The hot temperature in the dream seemed to be gradually awakened, the arm around his waist suddenly moved, and a tingling numbness spread across the whole body in an instant.

He trembled uncontrollably and sat up abruptly.

There was a muffled sound in his ear: "Gu Cheng?"

Like a thunderclap, his cochlea was numb from the explosion, he jumped out of bed in a panic, opened the door and rushed into the bathroom.

When Huo Yufei woke up the next day, he found that the place beside the bed was actually cold.

Breakfast was already set on the table in the living room, but Gu Cheng seemed to have gone out.

Huo Yufei looked at the time in bewilderment, it was less than seven o'clock.

In [-], it was almost on the tail, and City B became more and more festive.Especially in the Lama Temple area, it is unavoidable to pray to gods and worship Buddha before the New Year's Eve, plus this century-old shop with many antique jewelry.During the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable to buy things for the family, men, women and children to celebrate the New Year, so the streets are especially lively with people coming and going.

The same is true for Yubaozhai. From the beginning of the morning, there is an endless stream of customers, and the store is very busy.

Usually, when they were filming behind, Yuxi would come over from time to time to take care of her and add more tea and fruits, but today she only had time to show up once or twice.

The last day's work ended earlier than usual, especially when Bai Runhua waved his hand and shouted "Call work", Gu Cheng deliberately looked out the window and found that the sky was still bright, and his heart jumped for joy.

Yuxi came in with a mahogany tray, and gave red envelopes to the staff of Bai Runhua's team one by one.The red envelopes are also beautifully made, with the auspicious and wishful group-shaped blessing characters embroidered with gold thread on the red satin.

"Aya" specifically refers to a kind of fabric with twill weave.It is divided into plain silk and patterned silk. Plain silk is a single twill weave, and wen damask is a fabric with a layer of hidden flowers on the twill weave.Yuxi chose Su Ling for this red envelope, a small one, very delicately made, but the cost of the material alone is not cheap.

Gu Cheng didn't know anything about these things, but he came here many times, and he would listen to Yu Xi's words from time to time.

When Yuxi sent the last one to him, Gu Cheng took it with both hands and said happily, "Thank you, Aunt Yu."

It was only a few minutes after Yuxi saw the end, his things were almost packed, and she couldn't help teasing: "Are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Gu Cheng lowered his head and smiled without explaining, but that smile was very pretty.

Yuxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The longer they get along, the more she finds that although Gu Cheng looks calm and reliable, and is extremely sophisticated in dealing with people, he is actually very simple.

The simplicity of youth.

After realizing this, Yuxi gradually gave up the idea of ​​recommending him to walk in the advertising circle, and consider developing in the direction of acting in the future.

Yuxi began to think about this, one is because Gu Cheng's external conditions are relatively good, he is calm and able to endure hardships, and the most important thing is that his situation is different from ordinary people, he is an orphan, he is short of money, and these jobs are indeed It's faster to get money.

The other is that she is very optimistic about Gu Cheng's character, and feels that the other party is safe in doing things and has a sense of propriety. Compared with her peers, she is more considerate. Only in such a circle can she keep the bottom line.

But Yuxi now finds that this is not the case.

Gu Cheng was not as comfortable as he imagined.

Later, Huang Danlin came to Yuxi specially, and insisted to invite her to dinner. At the dinner, he asked her to apologize to Gu Cheng on his behalf, and said that even if their cooperation ended here, she would like to get together and break up. Introduce the other party to an equally well-known broker in the circle.

Although Yuxi didn't know the way of it, Huang Danlin's attitude was a bit intriguing.

Yuxi couldn't help thinking more, looking for an opportunity to leave Gu Cheng alone, making side-stepping remarks, worried that the other party would suffer a big loss, and that's why Huang Danlin was so polite.

However, after a little understanding, she probably understood what was going on, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but then shook her head again.

Gu Cheng didn't say much, but Yu Xi understood after a little guessing, especially the other party's attitude.

It's not that tact is good, it's just that in this kind of circle, people and things are too angular and blunt, and it's easy to stumble after all.

Yu Xi felt that she was missing a level of consideration, Gu Cheng was actually too young, and young people tended to not see clearly the tacit boundaries and rules behind many things, and they were prone to rampage.

Either suffer a few big losses, or be escorted by someone, otherwise it is easy to encounter bad things.

But is this loss worth it?Is it worth eating?

Yu Xi has no way to make a conclusion for the other party. After all, Gu Cheng is not related to her, and she has to think more about many things even if she is kind enough to help.

So Yuxi never mentioned the previous proposal again.

In fact, thinking about it, if Gu Cheng was her biological child, she would definitely hope that he would study hard at the age of school, have a good relationship, and then smoothly find a decent job, get married and have children, and start a family.

Rather than come out to earn a little hard money as a graphic model for others, rather than pay a boyfriend who may not make it to the end.

Yuxi thinks the same as her contemporaries, and doesn't think that having a boyfriend and having a girlfriend are actually exactly the same in nature.

Although she would not feel that there was any heinousness in this, she would definitely not agree with it.And definitely the other party will wake up sooner or later, what he is doing now is wrong.

With Yuxi's way of dealing with the world, she would not be allowed to dictate other people's life choices, but she would still regret once or twice in her heart.

Yuxi felt it was a pity.

Bai Runhua's team has already moved quickly and sorted out all kinds of instruments and props, and began to move them to the minivan outside. They still have another job in hand, and now they are in a hurry to rush to the scene.

And because they were already old friends, Bai Runhua was not polite, greeted Yuxi and took them away.

Gu Cheng originally wanted to leave earlier, but Yu Xi stayed behind for a while.

Because after the shooting this time, Gu Cheng didn't have any work with her a few years ago, so Yuxi had something to ask him in advance.

She first cared about Gu Cheng's situation on the sidelines, and after learning that he celebrated the New Year alone as she had guessed last year, she invited, "Xiao Gu, why don't you come to my house to celebrate the New Year this year? Let's be a good friend to each other." with."

Gu Cheng was slightly taken aback, and was immediately moved.

But he hesitated for a moment, and declined.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuxi understood a little, and tentatively asked: "So are you going to spend the New Year with 'friends'?"

The word "friend" has a lot of meaning, Gu Cheng heard it, his ears turned red, but he shook his head.

Yu Xi was puzzled.

Gu Cheng lowered his head and carefully put the pair of lambskin gloves on his hands, and explained vaguely: "Maybe I will still play outside during the Chinese New Year this year. It is convenient for me to go by myself. where."

Yu Xi disapproved and said: "What are you wandering around outside during the Chinese New Year?"

Gu Cheng smiled.

In fact, he still had some small thoughts in his heart about celebrating the New Year with Huo Yufei, but he also knew that this was unlikely.

Because last night when the two of them were nestling on the sofa to study the plan and itinerary, Huo Yufei had made it clear that he would come back before the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

He leaned his head on Gu Cheng's shoulder with the corner of his mouth curled up, and twirled a pencil between his fingers: "You must leave some time to prepare for the New Year, right?"

And then nothing else.

Gu Cheng felt a little disappointed, but he also understood that there was no way out.

He knew from the start that he was different from everyone else.

The other people included Huo Yufei.

That's why he was so anxious to take the other party completely in his arms, right?

It seems like this will make my heart a little more secure.

The scene in the dream last night flashed by, and Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly wandered for a moment.

He has never told anyone about this little thought.

Hearing what Huo Yufei said, he just immediately drew a circle on the number "18" on the copied calendar schedule, and then decisively pulled it out with a slash.

Then I calculated the time and felt a little regretful: "In this way, I can't actually play for a few days."

Huo Yufei smiled and comforted him: "There will be opportunities in the future."

Gu Cheng became happy again, he liked the word "later" very much.

After paying early respects to Yuxi, Gu Cheng hurried home.

In the past, he always came back very late, but no matter how late, Huo Yufei would wait for him, and once he fell asleep on the sofa while waiting.Although Gu Cheng was also quite reluctant, but with a little selfishness, he didn't even pretend to persuade the other party not to wait for him to eat and sleep early.

What if Huo Yufei really took it seriously?

If he really eats and sleeps early, won't there be no one waiting for him?

Gu Cheng felt that his thoughts were quite selfish, but when he came back every day, he could see a person who was waiting for him, and he was also someone he liked.

This kind of temptation is too big for him, and he has no strength to resist.

But this time was an exception, he happily pushed the door open, full of satisfaction and wanted to surprise the other party.

There was no one at home.

When Caesar saw someone coming back, he happily wagged his tail. When he saw that the person who came back was not his own master, the frequency of wagging his tail slowed down significantly.

It can be seen that Huo Yufei will not be going out for a while.

Ning Cong's eyes fell on the cup in front of him, guessing that the boiling water inside must have completely lost the last bit of temperature.

The caramel biscuits on the small plate next to them were not touched, and they still kept their beautiful shape.

And the object of his consultation has hardly said anything from the time he first came in to the present.

It should be said that no useful information was revealed.

As for the trivial matters of how he and his "boyfriend" eat, sleep and walk the dog together every day, to Ning Cong's ears, it sounds more like a show of affection.

He laughed a little at the statement that came out of his mind, and found it very interesting.Of course, this did not affect his professionalism as a consultant - Ning Cong has been paying close attention to the other party's expressions, movements, and emotions from the beginning to the end, trying to collect information from them.

So you can't question his professionalism just because he's a little distracted.

After all, judging by Ning Cong's professional level, his guest has not revealed any bad psychological conditions so far.For Ning Cong, the end of get off work time is coming soon.

If he put aside his status as a consultant, he wanted to persuade the other party not to waste money here.

Although this was increasing his income, after listening to how other people fell in love for several hours, he now has more than twelve expectations for the date at night.

"So," Ning Cong picked up his cold, prop-like cup and concluded, "I can see from what you just said that you are very good at dealing with you and your...partner, you Mind if I call it that? Well, I think you're pretty good at dealing with each other."

Huo Yufei raised his eyebrows, vaguely disapproving.

Ning Cong waited for a while, and saw that the other party was only planning to reserve his opinion, so he continued to clarify his understanding: "At least the things you just said can prove this. You are very sensitive to his emotions, and you are willing to satisfy him." His needs, but also his ability to express his wishes, and the other party respects that. In any case, this is the characteristic of a good relationship. So besides these, is there anything that you really worry about?"

Huo Yufei moved his lips.

Of course there are.

If he could really meet all the needs of the other party, then he wouldn't be sitting here now.

He really hoped that Gu Cheng could be happy.It’s just that I didn’t consider that the scope of “happiness” is a bit wide and the meaning is a bit deep.

Well, he thought too simply.

"I missed a very important point."

Ning Cong leaned slightly, showing concentration.

"sex."

Ning Cong immediately perked up, realizing that from now on, what they were discussing was the key to the problem.

He motioned for the other party to say more.

"So in this regard. Do you have any conflicts?"

"It's a big contradiction." Huo Yufei thought for a while, and finally said calmly, "I have a serious psychological barrier."

Ning Cong became a little interested.

"Psychological disorder?"

"I'm sure I'm...well, I love him very much. Can you understand? I decided to accept his pursuit because I thought I could satisfy all he wanted. But now I find it's a little...difficult."

"A little difficult?"

"It was kind of hard for me... I mean getting intimate with him."

"why?"

Ning Cong's straightforward question made Huo Yufei pause for a second, and then subconsciously searched for the answer.

why?

Does this question still need an answer?

Precisely because he is Gu Cheng.

Also because he is Gu Cheng.

Huo Yufei thought for a while.

Ning Cong simply asked him directly: "Have you ever done a professional aptitude assessment?"

Huo Yufei came back to his senses: "That's not the problem."

When Gu Cheng kissed him so passionately, there was a reason why he hurriedly pushed him away. The reason was that he was almost going to be hard.

This proves that there is no problem with my physiology.

So is it psychological?

Ning Cong also followed this line of thought.

"So you can't accept it psychologically? Have you found the reason?"

Huo Yufei could only say that he couldn't find it.

Ning Cong helped him do the analysis: "Did he make you feel pressured?"

pressure?

Huo Yufei nodded.

"But you want to satisfy him?"

Huo Yufei nodded again.

Ning Cong suddenly thought of something.

Ask him for confirmation: "So your 'boyfriend' friend, does he have a strong personality?"

Not at all.

Huo Yufei thought about it, but he immediately became a little uncertain again.

Well, let's just say not yet.

That is, when he nodded to Ning Cong in affirmation, he suddenly thought of something.

The corner of his mouth curved, and he suddenly smiled.

After Huo Yufei walked out the door, he realized that there were several missed calls and short messages displayed on the muted phone, all of which were from Gu Cheng.

He returned a call while looking for an empty car with his eyes.

Because he thought of a solution to the problem, Huo Yufei seemed very happy, and this happiness was revealed in his voice.

Gu Cheng listened to the other party's voice, and unconsciously became happy.

Then he found a car and got in it.

At the same time, he was talking to Gu Cheng on the phone.

Because they have already booked the train tickets, and they will leave early tomorrow morning, so Gu Cheng is particularly anxious because they didn't see Huo Yufei when they got home.

They plan to go to a place called Yanqing near City B. This place is very close to City B. There are many scenic spots and the natural scenery is also very good. They can choose what they like and take a stroll.

But Gu Cheng chose this place for another reason, the reason he didn't tell Huo Yufei.

Want to give each other a surprise.

Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled slightly.

Because this road is not easy to turn around, the taxi stopped at the intersection.

At this time, the sky was already dark, Huo Yufei took out his wallet to pay the fare, sent Gu Cheng a message "I'll be there soon", and walked home quickly.

At the second turn, when he was about to reach the entrance of the community, two young men with dyed yellow hair suddenly walked out of the community and passed him head-on.

Huo Yufei stopped in his tracks immediately.

Then he inadvertently looked back, sure enough.

This is the second time these two yellow-haired youths have passed him by.

Ordinary people may not notice such details.

But Huo Yufei?

Such a clumsy tracking technique can only make the smile on the corner of his mouth playful.

The phone vibrated slightly. Gu Cheng was cooking in the kitchen, but at this moment he walked out quickly, bent down to pick it up, and looked a little happy.When you get back to the kitchen, you speed up your actions and serve up the prepared dishes one by one.

The aroma of hot food immediately filled the entire space.

However, ten minutes later, there was still no movement at the door.

Occasionally, there were footsteps outside, Caesar quickly raised his head to listen, and then continued to lie down on the floor of the entrance.

Gu Cheng called Huo Yufei for the third time.

The phone is still busy.

He suddenly panicked, grabbed the key and opened the door.
