He walks the career path in Shurachang

The golden-red light of the setting sun shines on the window lattice, illuminating the fresh and rich delicacies on the dining table, and coating the red rose vase in the center with a layer of gold.

Gu Lin and Fang Yang sat at the two ends of the dining table, and the setting sun cast two clear dividing lines between light and dark on their faces.

In a corner of the room, the musician playing the violin is emotionally involved in the song "Confession under the Moon". The romantic tune is very poetic, and it was Gu Lin's favorite song in the book.

But now, Gu Lin was so upset that he waved his hand to signal the musician to leave.

Sitting directly opposite him was a gentle and handsome young man, wearing a navy blue shirt that made his skin white and thin, as if he had grown up in a milk bath since childhood, his fingers had never been touched with spring water, his slender wrists could almost see light blue blood vessels.

"Didn't you like this song before?" Fang Yang put down the spoon, crossed his fingers on the pure white tablecloth, and stared straight at the man opposite him with dark eyes.

Gu Lin didn't look at him, but his eyes fell on the roses swaying in the wind in the hedge outside the window: "People will change, you just think I have changed."

Fang Yang's Adam's apple slid gently: "But you still have an unforgettable love for my brother, don't you?"

Gu Lin's brows raised, and she denied it directly: "Not really."

What responded to him was a sneer: "If this was said a month ago, maybe I would have believed it, but how do you explain that newcomer named Shang Heng? He looks very similar to my brother, isn't it because of this?" , to see him differently?"

This paragraph seems to be exactly the same as the plot of the original book, no matter how he answers, he looks like a scumbag.

Gu Lin simply shut his mouth and said nothing.

Fang Yang's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help turning his head to the side, looking at his face through the gradually darkening glass window. He was not like his brother Fang Yue who was two years older.

Fang Yue has been trained as the heir of the Fang family consortium. Whether it is ability, knowledge, personality or appearance, he is extremely beloved by the creator. From childhood to adulthood, his brother is like a luminous body. No matter where he walks, he can easily get praise from others and attention.

As for himself, he is not good or bad in any aspect, not as good as him in appearance, not as capable as him, at best he is quiet and docile, but in reality he is introverted and mediocre, and he can only live in the shadow of his brother forever.

Before meeting Gu Lin, he was willing to serve as a foil for his elder brother, and being the weight of the family's marriage seemed to be his only value, but since the day he met Gu Lin at his elder brother's coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 16, his The world begins to take on color and everything becomes different.

At that time, the Fang family intended to marry the Gu family. His parents had hesitated between the two children. Fang Yang had never expected it like that at that time, as long as he could beat his brother once.

However, Gu Lin still fell in love with the radiant Fang Yue after all, and he didn't take Fang Yang's show of love to heart at all.

When the two of them kissed secretly in the back garden, Fang Yang, who was quietly following and hiding in the fence, watched from the beginning to the end. No one knew that he didn't go back to the room that night, and stayed in the fence all night with his eyes red from crying. .

It would be fine if my brother disappeared, and it would be fine if Gu Lin kissed me...

"It doesn't matter. I forgive you." Fang Yang withdrew his absent-minded gaze from his memories, his voice was very soft, and he didn't know whether he was talking to Gu Lin or talking to himself.

"Big brother has been dead for two full years. I saw him in a car accident with my own eyes and died on the spot."

Fang Yang spoke slowly and poured a glass of wine for Gu Lin, "I let go, and you should let go too, don't let yourself be in pain all the time, even if you put a double by your side, my elder brother won't let him go survived."

The corner of Gu Lin's mouth curled slightly: "There is no pain and no substitute, thank you."

Fang Yang didn't care about his rhetoric: "As the heir of a large group, you should consider the interests of the family, not the personal relationship of your children. The marriage between you and me is completely in line with the interests of the family behind us. If..."

He paused slightly, his hands twisted together nervously, as if the following words were extremely difficult to say: "If you want... even if you treat me as a big brother, I don't mind. Compared to that outsider named Shang Heng, I treat big brother more familiar……"

Gu Lin looked down at the crimson wine, his eyelids twitched heavily, and said indifferently: "I don't want to."

Unexpectedly, Fang Yang's face turned pale in an instant, the blood faded from his trembling lips little by little, and his whole body was as fragile as a thin piece of paper, shame and disappointment appeared alternately in his widened eyes.

"Why can't I? It's because I didn't have plastic surgery to look like a big brother, did I?!"

Gu Lin's patience was finally completely exhausted: "It has nothing to do with that. In fact, I... am not what I used to be. I don't like your elder brother, I don't like you, and I won't marry you. Please don't misunderstand."

Gu Lin has never experienced how to appease a sick lovelorn. He racked his brains but couldn't recall more of the original book, so he had to give up.

He got up, exhaled a foul breath, and looked at the other person with pity: "Actually, you don't have to focus on me. I may not be what you imagined. It's better to let go of your attention, maybe you will meet a more suitable person."

"Gu Lin!!!"

Fang Yang's hysterical voice made Gu Lin's brain hurt. He stared at him in silence for a long time, and finally decided to use a killer trick.

Without revealing his identity as a transgressor, he can completely kill the other party's thoughts, and at the same time, he will not lead the disaster to Shang Heng, who is as innocent as himself.

"It's not your problem, it's my problem." Gu Lin's facial muscles twitched slightly, and said expressionlessly, "Actually, I have a hidden disease, and I will not be happy in marriage. Farewell."

"!!!" Fang Yang looked at his resolutely leaving back in shock, his face was blue and white.

The door opened and closed again, Fang Yang slumped back into the chair as if all his strength had been exhausted, most of his face was hidden in the backlight, and the phalanx of his clenched fist turned white with force.

Why is the shadow still lingering even though the eldest brother is dead?Why can't he get what he wants even though he has humbled himself enough to let go of all his dignity?

Why... Gu Lin would rather reject him than fabricate such absurd lies?If it was true, how could he support Shang Heng?Could it be... that you really moved your heart?

Fang Yang took a deep breath, and through the window, stared blankly at the rose fence wall beside the flowering restaurant alley. It may be a coincidence that the fence here is the same as the garden at home when he was a child. It is also made of pottery potted plants , Pots and pots were piled up in a row on the stone brick floor. In the evening, the wind was strong, and the roses and green leaves were shaken by the wind.

He silently turned on the phone, flipped to the address book, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed the number on it.

"Gu Lin, you will definitely regret rejecting me today..."

He took out a card from his wallet, summoned a waiter at random, and whispered a few words.

※※※

The music in the restaurant is soft, and the fragrant delicacies attract diners' index fingers.

Shang Heng lowered his head and stirred the thick soup in the bowl, staring blankly at the rose pattern embroidered on the tablecloth.

"Are you okay?" Seeing that he was absent-minded, Lin Yuqing asked aloud.

"Oh, it's nothing." Shang Heng ran all over the three floors of the Flowering Restaurant just now, not even missing the bathroom, and didn't see Wen Ruiyun.

In this way, the time is not up yet, at least until Fang Yang is completely rejected by Gu Lin and asks Wen Ruiyun to come over on his own initiative, then there will be the next scene, but I don't know how long it will be.

"Shang Heng, why are you here?"

A shadow cut straight down beside him, and the voice of the visitor rose, with surprise and some kind of extremely indistinguishable emotion, it sounded very familiar, Shang Heng raised his eyes, and in the backlight, Gu Lin's note was full of displeasure. The poker face immediately came into view.

Very good, I was in a hurry to leave in the parking lot, so I was dating Lin Yuqing here?

Gu Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the "sacrifice" he made in front of Fang Yang just now, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but start to twitch.

"Mr. Gu?" Shang Heng's heart skipped a beat. Since Gu Lin came out, it meant that Wen Ruiyun was coming soon.He tentatively asked, "What a coincidence, what are you doing?"

On the opposite side of the dining table, Lin Yuqing's eyes turned on the two of them, and her brows were subtly raised——Shang Heng is obviously not Shang Heng from the original book, why did he look "surprised" when he saw Gu Rin?

The corner of Lin Yuqing's mouth twitched slightly, and she stretched out her hand towards Gu Lin: "It turns out to be the young master of the Gu family. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lin Yuqing."

Gu Lin glanced at him, and shook hands briefly in a polite manner. Thinking of being jealous with this man in the plot of the original book, he felt uncomfortable and his face became even more ugly.

Lin Yuqing looked at Gu Lin's expression carefully, smiled, and said slowly: "Mr. Gu, have you eaten yet? Shang Heng invited me to dinner tonight, and I ordered too many dishes, do you want to stay and have a light meal together? "

Gu Lin was expressionless, hehe, the demonstration started now?How could he be as knowledgeable as a paper man?

"No, I have something else to do. Let's go first." He turned around and left without saying a word.

Shang Heng stretched his neck and looked at the door of the restaurant in his direction. There are several doors in this restaurant, and I don't know which direction Wen Ruiyun came in from.

"Mr. Lin, I suddenly remembered something. Why don't you stop here today, and I'll treat you to dinner another day." Shang Heng straightened his tie and cuffs casually, "Next time I'll pay."

Lin Yuqing watched him staring at Gu Lin's leaving direction and anxiously chasing after him, hesitated to speak, and finally just nodded: "If you have time, remember to read the book I recommended."

"Ok."

※※※

The setting sun sank below the horizon little by little, and the western sky was shrouded in blue-red oil paint.

A black Bentley slowly parked at the alley leading to the flower restaurant. Secretary Wu opened the rear door. Wen Ruiyun was wearing a pure black high-end suit without a tie. aura.

He turned his head slightly and gave some soft instructions. Secretary Wu understood and went back to the car.

Fang Yang stopped under the rose hedge, with a calm and docile smile on his face, quietly waiting for Wen Ruiyun's arrival.

Wen Ruiyun looked at him with scrutiny, and after a while, he came to the young man, separated by a suitable distance: "Why don't you go upstairs and wait? It's windy outside."

Fang Yang rolled his eyes and whispered softly: "When I was young, I was always at the door like this every day, waiting for my parents and elder brother to come home."

Wen Ruiyun took a deep look at him and smiled lightly.

Just at this time, misfortunes happened——

The two-meter-high rose hedge beside the two of them slanted suddenly for a while, and the fence seemed to be broken, and it was about to fall on Wen Ruiyun!

"Be careful!" Fang Yang was the first to react, his face changed drastically, and he subconsciously stood behind Wen Ruiyun!

Everything happened so fast that it was unprepared.

"Get out of the way!"

A black shadow seemed to flash before Wen Ruiyun's eyes, and his arm was pulled aside by a sudden force. The man hugged him and turned around, then kicked towards the fallen fence——

The broken fence, which was nearly two meters away, suddenly bounced back, and fell to the other side. With a sound of "Ouch", I don't know who was overwhelmed, and there was a vacancy in one side of the rose bush, causing countless dust and fallen leaves.

Fang Yang opened his hands in a daze, just standing in the gap, like a scarecrow in a flower field.

Wen Ruiyun slowly straightened up from Shang Heng's arms, his surprise flashed away, his eyes fell on Fang Yang and the hedge behind him, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The author has something to say: Wen: ...

square:……

Hedges: ...

Shang: As expected of me :)
