Confession of Rebirth

A gust of north wind blew past, and the biting cold wind mixed with scattered snowflakes, blowing Zhong Li Sui's light words into Gu Chen's ears.

Gu Chen stopped in a daze.

Zhong Li smiled and patted Gu Chen's shoulder: "It's cold outside, go in quickly."

Gu Chen blinked, and silently pushed open the antique door of the hotel.Accompanied by the crisp sound of wind chimes above the head, a gust of hot air rushed towards the face.

"Welcome." Dressed in a cheongsam, the graceful welcome guest bowed and said hello.Zhong Li went to the bar and said with a smile, "Yage."

"Hello, please come inside." The bar attendant checked the customer's information and smiled warmly.

The two followed the service staff leading the way to the Accord on the second floor, and Zhong Li then took the menu: "Braised chestnut chicken, tofu with crab powder, marinated Duxian, and green snail shrimp,"

Zhongli then handed the menu to Gu Chen: "This is their special dish, and it tastes pretty good."

Gu Chen took the menu.Turned it over from beginning to end: "One more cherry meat, one more water shield and whitebait soup. One more boat order, one three delicacies wonton, one wine glutinous rice dumpling, and one golden fragrant cake."

"Okay," the service staff repeated the menu: "You two wait a moment."

When the waiter in cheongsam exited the private room, Zhong Li took off his coat and reminded Gu Chen, "Are your hat and scarf wet?"

Gu Chen came back to his senses, only then realized that he didn't even take off his coat.

— No wonder it's so hot.

Gu silently took off his hat, scarf, and down jacket.Feeling that the atmosphere in the private room was a little too dull, I tried to find a topic: "Why do you suddenly want to eat Subang cuisine today?"

Zhong Li then poured Gu Chen a cup of Biluochun, and said with a smile, "Seeing that you have been staying up all night lately, eat something sweet to make up for it."

Gu Chen smiled: "It's the final exam! You don't usually study hard, so you can only cram for a while."

With that said, he took a sip of the tea that Zhong Lisui handed over: "The tea is not bad."

Zhong Li smiled and said, "If you don't work hard, then I'm just being lazy."

After a pause, Zhong Li then asked, "That microfilm contest is almost over, isn't it?"

Gu Chen said: "The results of the final selection will be announced next Monday."

Zhong Li then asked: "Then are you going home? Have you booked your flight ticket?"

Gu Chen said: "Not yet. Don't worry."

Zhong Li said: "It's better to make a decision earlier! A few days later, I'm afraid you will encounter the Spring Festival travel rush, and it will be difficult to book tickets then."

Gu Chen woke up suddenly.He lived in City A in his previous life, and rarely went back to his hometown during the holidays.I even forgot about the spring festival.

"Thank you." Gu Chen said.Thinking about booking a plane ticket tonight.

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's befuddled look, smiled and said, "Then don't forget to call me when you get home. I'm going to see you off!"

Gu Chen calculated the time silently in his heart, and refused: "It's still not necessary. I should book a weekday ticket, and then I can just take a taxi to the airport. It's the end of the year, and your company should be very busy."

"No matter how busy you are, there's still time to take you to the airport." Zhong Lisui chuckled lightly: "We've agreed a long time ago, aren't you going to renege on your promise and lose weight?"

Gu Chen hesitated a little, and was silently organizing his words, when Zhong Lisui said with a smile: "A businessman keeps his promises. If you want to be a successful businessman, you must first keep your promises."

Gu Chen answered subconsciously: "Don't you want me to be a scholar who follows my heart?"

After saying this, both of them were stunned.The atmosphere in the box instantly became a little delicate.

"sorry, I--"

"Your original intention is not to reject me, is it?"

The two blurted out at the same time.

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen's expression, and added with a smile: "I mean, it's only an hour or two to take you to the airport. It won't waste my time. If you refuse me, I'd rather call The taxi is not willing to let me take it, but it will make me very concerned. Because we have already agreed."

Gu Chen's palm was slightly warm, and he immediately said: "Then send it. I will call you when the time comes."

Gu Chen thought, he could choose to fly at night.Try not to delay Zhong Lisui's normal work.

Zhong Li then smiled and said, "Okay."

The box fell silent again.Gu Chen was inexplicably uncomfortable.In order to relieve this emotion, Gu Chen picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake that the restaurant gave away for free.As soon as you take it in, you will feel a sweet aroma accompanied by the dense pastry, which is refreshing.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help curling his mouth: "Their sweet-scented osmanthus cake is quite delicious."

Zhong Li then nodded: "I like it too."

While talking, the dishes ordered by the two came one after another.

Zhong Lisui served Gu Chen a bowl of soup with water shield and whitebait quite habitually: "Let's eat."

Gu Chen took the soup, lowered his head and drank silently.

Seeing this, Zhong Li wanted to help Gu Chen pick up vegetables.After hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

It was rare for the two of them to have a peaceful meal, and Zhong Li sent Gu Chen back to school.At the school gate, Gu Chen was about to get out of the car when Zhong Lisui stopped him.

"Wait a minute!" Zhong Lisui took out a beautifully packaged small bag and gave it to Gu Chen: "Happy New Year."

Gu Chen was slightly taken aback.

Zhong Li smiled and said, "I prepared a New Year's gift for you. After all, during the Chinese New Year, you will be in your hometown, so we won't be able to see each other."

Gu Chen was a little embarrassed: "I'm not prepared..."

"You can supply it to me later." Zhong Lisui said, "Anyway, it's not yet Chinese New Year."

Gu Chen smiled: "Alright then."

He took the gift: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Zhong Lisui said, "I'm also looking forward to your gift."

Gu Chen smiled slightly: "I will definitely prepare well."

Zhong Li then nodded, and said very seriously: "I believe in you. You will never be perfunctory to me."

Just such a light sentence, Gu Chen suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Gu Chen returned to the dormitory with the gift.On the way, he was suddenly stopped by someone.Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Gu Xiu standing behind him with some surprise: "You haven't returned to your hometown yet?"

"The Huo Group hasn't had its annual leave yet. As an employee, of course I can't go back." Gu Xiu paused for a moment before looking directly at Gu Chen: "And I don't know whether you and your parents are still Welcome back home."

Since that quarrel, Gu Chen has been busy dealing with various matters, and hasn't seen Gu Xiu much.If Gu Xiu hadn't suddenly appeared in front of him, he would have almost forgotten about this person.But Gu Xiu has been paying attention to everything about Gu Chen.

Whether it was being smeared by the public relations of the Dazhou Group, or being defended by A college students and those netizens who had never met before, or even being protected by Professor Xing's protective guard.Gu Xiu saw it all.

Including when Gu Xiu was an intern in the Huo Group, the employees of the Huo Group also praised Gu Chen.

Everyone thinks that Gu Chen is young and promising, especially outstanding, even Huo Mingzhang's father is trying every means to show affection to Gu Chen.

Gu Xiu kept it in his heart, and became more silent.

"I know, you have an opinion on me. You think I'm not doing well, you're a white-eyed wolf." Gu Xiu smiled: "But you never ask me why I do this?"

Gu Chen is not interested in Gu Xiu's psychological analysis: "If you want to go home, you can go home. The Gu family will support you. As long as you don't do it yourself, your parents will not let you in."

"What about you?" Gu Xiu asked, "Can you still treat me as a younger brother?"

Gu Chen chuckled: "Don't think about it. I'm not a farmer, and I'm not interested in snakes."

Gu Xiu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"I didn't think of harming anyone, nor did I want to be harmed by others." Gu Chen cut to the point: "It doesn't matter if the two of us have a disagreement or other reasons. In short, I will be unlucky if I run into something about you. Then Just stay away from me, please."

Gu Xiu frowned fiercely: "Gu Chen, I think you misunderstood me."

"Then continue to misunderstand!"

Gu Chen didn't want to chat with Gu Xiu anymore, he turned around and was about to leave——

"You have a good relationship with President Zhongli of Tiansui Capital, right? He even dared to provoke a giant like the Dazhou Group for you. Are you particularly proud?"

Gu Chen frowned, turned to look at Gu Xiu: "What do you want to say?"

Gu Xiu sneered: "I want to say that we are obviously the same person. Why do you look down on me?"

Gu Chen looked impatient: "Boring."

"What are you proud of? You think it's disgraceful for me to get the internship offer from the Qi family and the Huo Group based on Huo Mingzhang's relationship. Didn't you cause trouble yourself and need Zhongli to help you settle it? Everyone is climbing high branches, and it can't be because of you Gao Zhi'er is better than me, so why don't you look down on me? Essentially, you rely on others to solve your troubles. Why do people think you are better? Do you think you are great? Are you going to trample me to nothing?"

"It's been like this since I was a child. No matter how hard I study, I can't pass you. No matter how hard I try to show that the teacher likes you more. No matter how hard I try to please my parents and fellow villagers, they still treat you better than me. Every time my grandparents eat , I only add chicken legs to you. My cousin bullied me, and my aunt and sister-in-law called me a bastard every day behind my parents' backs. They called me a wild child that no one wants. But I can't even refute a word. A rebuttal It's just unfilial. But why? Just because I was picked up by your Gu family when I was a child, and I will be sent to others in my life, and I will be three points short in this life? But if I do a little bit badly, everyone will call me a white-eyed wolf !"

As Gu Xiu was talking, he couldn't help but choked up: "Do you know how many people have reminded me in front of my face since I was a child that I should be filial to my parents and not be a white-eyed wolf?"

Gu Chen couldn't understand Gu Xiu's grief and indignation: "Is there anything wrong with these words? Don't those elders say these words every day?"

"But I'm different!" Gu Xiu yelled at Gu Chen: "I don't want to hear these words. I don't want everyone to remind me that I was picked up by the Gu family. I don't want everyone to remind me that I, Gu Xiu I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child. I, Gu Xiu, am an unwanted bastard!"

Gu Chen looked at Gu Xiu with a ferocious face, slightly startled.Counting his past and present lives, this was the first time he saw Gu Xiu get angry.

"Gu Chen! Didn't you treat me very well before? Every time my cousin bullied me, wouldn't you immediately rush to avenge me? Every time grandpa and grandma gave you chicken legs, wouldn't you give it to me? Aunt and sister scolded me, didn’t you always stand by my side and speak for me? Why did you suddenly change when you went to college? "

"Still, you also look down on me from the bottom of your heart. You think I'm a bastard, but it's just because of my parents' face. I'm sorry to say it. So after you go to college, you can't wait to throw me away like a piece of garbage. shake off?"
