Dangerous Secret

Chapter 77, Bergamot Nightmare

Fang Shuhua rambled on for a long time, and finally got to the point. "This is what our dear Yang likes the most. I don't know if Mr. Gu can guess it."

Shouyang is strange. His favorite thing. Why doesn't he know what he likes the most.

"Who can guess it? Can Mr. Gu guess it?" Fang Shuhua was so proud that his nostrils turned upside down.

Bao Cheng stood behind Fang Shuhua and tried to reduce his sense of presence. He was afraid that You Li would shoot him down when the curtain came down later.

There is a lot of noise around. I don't know what these two people are selling.

"Boss." Zhou Tong leaned forward. "What do you like the most? You put such a whole table on the table."

"What do I like. I like money."

Zhou Tong blinked his eyes. He knew that Shouyang, who was always a mess about these "little things", would not know the "insider story".

"Mr. Gu, have you guessed it yet?" Fang Shuhua made it clear that he would not let Gu Zhihang go.

Gu Zhihang didn't care about Fang Shuhua's childish provocation. "I don't know."

"It's a pity." Fang Shuhua shook his head humbly. He smiled even more arrogantly. Seeing Shouyang, he really wanted to slap him in the face.

"Explosion. We must know what it is. Right."

Bao Cheng really wanted to stay away from him. Didn't you see that Shouyang's eyes were already staring at them unkindly?

Fang Shuhua didn't realize it. He continued to grin with his nostrils up to the sky and exulted. "Brothers, who can guess it and say it out loud. What is our boss, our dear Yang's favorite. It is hidden in the most precious treasure room in Dongdu. What is it?"

Le Yi covered his forehead. This guy didn't tell his brothers clearly what was on these shelves.

really..

"Buddha's hand."

There was a deafening roar. Shouyang's eyes flickered for a while, and You Li's face sank slightly.

The red curtain was lifted amid Fang Shuhua's clamor. "That's right.. This is the testimony of the Dongdu brothers to our dearest boss."

The moment the red curtain was lifted, the entire auditorium was lit up for more than three points.

The four huge bronze-colored carved wooden frames are densely packed with bergamot hands of different sizes and materials.

Woodcarved bergamot made of precious wood such as rosewood, black sandalwood, rosewood, ebony, and mahogany cannot be included in the ranks of entry at all. Exquisite bergamot made of black gold, rose gold, red and yellow enamel gold, etc. have become cheap. Foil. Top natural crystals, peridot, topaz, rose garnet, tanzanite and other natural stones from all over the continents are even more cheap.

It seems that the most dazzling treasures in the world are gathered here. The auditorium of no less than [-] square meters reflects a luxurious brilliance. Even the TOP elite who collected these treasures with their own hands cannot remain unmoved. deeply shocked.

These four large display stands are like four incomparable treasures.

Rare colored gemstones, red and green tourmalines. Even the most precious Paraiba tourmalines are exquisitely crafted. In the hands of colorful gemstones, there are rare diamond cutting materials in the world. With gold as the base. One thousand Eight hundred brilliant diamonds are assembled into exquisite diamond bergamot. It is particularly eye-catching among the golden and colorful gemstones.

And the wooden frame in the middle. Chalcedony, agate, amber, emerald, emerald, etc. The wide wooden frame is like a gathering of gentle jade. The precious black jade, orange jasper... Large and small jade buddhist hands are quietly displayed On the antique display stand. It looks like the treasure house of ancient emperors and royal families.

The most eye-catching thing is that in the ebony box below, there is an ancient jade bergamot with the height of half a person, which is like the trunk of a sky tree. The whole body is white and flawless. Branches and leaves from jade.

The legendary splendor, the legendary gold and jade... No words can describe the visual shock brought by the gathering of the most extravagant and rare treasures in the world.

But at this moment, there is not a trace of greed or yuwang in the eyes of any of them. All of them know the origin of these bergamot hands, so everyone's eyes are tinged with a slight tremor. Everyone smiles unconsciously from the heart . Smiling and chasing the thin white figure in front of you.

Shouyang became obsessed with bergamot. They didn't know the reason. They never tried to guess the reason. They only knew that the gods in their hearts liked it. So whenever they saw bergamot, they would do everything possible to bring it back.

When the belief you pursue is deeply rooted, everything you believe in will become your pursuit.

Shouyang stood up at some point and walked slowly onto the stage.

He forgot how long he hadn't looked at his most obsessed bergamot.

The lips were tight and slightly trembling. Shouyang slowly caressed the world's exquisite treasures of different textures. His heart was trembling and rolling in his chest. It was so hot that it swelled.

No one knows. In fact, he doesn't really like bergamot. And the reason why he is obsessed with collecting and owning is even more simple and naive. But these brothers with different personalities never ask the reason and gradually regard collecting bergamot as everyone's hobby. Habit.

One year, two years, three years... Before he knew it, he had so many bergamots. Shouyang even forgot why he couldn't stop using bergamots. But he clearly remembered that every brother brought him valuable praise The satisfaction in his chest almost overflowed when he touched the bergamot.

Feeling the complicated aura on You Li, Huahua looked coldly at Fang Shuhua, who was holding the winning ticket in the center of the arena. There was undisguised disappointment in his eyes. "Take the friendship between brothers as a capital to show off. It will be what Yang wants."

You Li didn't speak. His face was like frost.

"These...are Yangyang's." Seeing Shouyang's strangeness, Ping Shu asked in a low voice.

Shao Wen's eyes trembled quite a bit. He nodded. "Yang likes these. Our Dongdu brothers brought them back for Yang from all over the world." Looking at those shining bergamot hands, Shao Wen couldn't help laughing." There are not many things that can make Yang feel happy from the bottom of his heart. So our favorite thing to do from top to bottom is to bring back a piece of bergamot for Yang. At this time, Yang’s smile is the most vivid and satisfying. It’s like being separated The long-awaited treasure has finally been found, and only at that time, Yang will not be so unkind."

There was a pause. Shao Wen's voice was slightly emotional. "Maybe Madam and Mr. Gu will not be able to understand. It is something we are so proud to see Yang laughing happily. After all..."

After all, Shao Wen didn't say what.

After all what.

Shao Wen's trembling eyes reflected the little figure in front of him. The guy they had always admired. Just like that, he became someone else's. Being affected by other people's joys, sorrows and joys. This feeling...is really not very good.

Ping Shu's heart was slightly bitter. Just looking at these priceless bergamots, she knew why Shouyang was so obsessed. Ping Shu couldn't help her eyes swell. These lovely children. Is it because of them? Only by becoming as cheerful as he is now can he safely hide from Luo Minliang for ten years.

"Yang. We moved your 'Treasure Pavilion'. You won't be angry." Fang Shuhua's arrogance subconsciously decreased a lot amidst the excitement in the room.

Shouyang didn't answer. Fang Shuhua naturally took it as his tacit consent. He looked at Gu Zhihang proudly. "Mr. Gu, please choose the one Yang likes the most among these buddhist hands. I believe that Mr. Gu will continue to pass the test."

Gu Zhihang's eyes were like a deep pool of autumn water. There was a white figure reflected in his eyes, but he said lightly, "I admit defeat."

I surrender....

Simple and clear three words. Many people were stunned the moment they heard it. I didn't expect Gu Zhihang to admit defeat without even trying.

Fang Shuhua didn't expect Gu Zhihang to admit defeat so directly. He was obviously taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Bao Cheng.

Bao Cheng rubbed his nose and lowered his voice. "This round, hurry up."

Fang Shuhua laughed immediately when he heard the words. "It's understandable that Mr. Gu couldn't be chosen from so many bergamots. Yang. Just choose the one you like the most. Show it to the brothers."

Bao Cheng hastily pulled him away. This guy, let him go through this round, why is he still going on? Didn't you see that something is wrong with Shouyang?

Fang Shuhua didn't understand the meaning of Baocheng, so he continued to work hard. "I think Yang probably likes one of these pieces of jasper Buddha. Because Yang will hold them for a while every time."

Shouyang still didn't make a sound, but seemed to be responding to Fang Shuhua. He slowly picked up one of the jade bergamot hands that was about an inch long and full of jasper.

Warm and delicate jade. It's exactly like that one...

"Yang likes this one the most. Haha. It seems that my guess is quite right." Seeing that no one answered him, Fang Shuhua felt a little uncomfortable. He saved the scene by himself.

"Gu Zhihang."

Unexpectedly, Shouyang actually put down the piece of jade. With an unclear expression, he turned and walked towards Gu Zhihang step by step. "Why didn't you say that?"

Gu Zhihang's eyes flickered for a while, but he didn't speak.

Fang Shuhua blinked. He looked blankly at Shouyang and turned away. What kind of scene is this? Don't say anything. Don't say anything. "Yang..."

Bao Cheng quickly covered his mouth with his eyes and hands.

Shouyang walked very slowly. "Why didn't you say it?"

The atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly became weird. No one understood what Shouyang meant...except Gu Zhihang.

Gu Zhihang's eyes were as deep as the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. He raised his head to meet the eyes that were surging with the dark tide above him. "They are irreplaceable for you."

Just a few words. The hearts of all TOP personnel trembled uncontrollably.

Shouyang suddenly pulled Gu Zhihang up. It was still the same sentence. "Why didn't you say it?"

Gu Zhihang's eyes were clear. "TOP. Dongdu. The ten years they have been with you. I am willing to admit defeat."

Just because of.. this.

Fang Shuhua's lips parted. He suddenly realized that he was really naive.

What kind of carnival level? You will know after a little contact. Gu Zhihang is not the kind of person who will accompany them to make trouble. But he still allows them to manipulate. Just because they are the people Yang cares about the most. When feelings are used as bargaining chips to show off, he chooses to admit defeat without even thinking about it.

Fang Shuhua found out for the first time. How ridiculous it is for him to show off his brothers' feelings for many years.

"That's why you don't say anything. Not that it's the only thing I ever had. Not that I didn't go crazy or commit suicide for nine years just because I held it every night. Not that I ever forgot about you The only thing I haven't forgotten is the one on your chest..."

There was a "hiss". Accompanied by Shouyang's increasingly suppressed and explosive growl, Gu Zhihang's shirt was ripped open by Shouyang.

A jade buddhist hand tied with a faded red ribbon hangs quietly in front of the chest where the shirt has been torn.

Everyone in the auditorium was stunned in surprise. You Li's eyes froze instantly after hearing Shouyang's words clearly.

Ping Shu's eyes were faintly red.

This is the first time she heard Shouyang mention the nine years that Luo Mingliang took him away.

Didn't go crazy and didn't commit suicide. Is this the life Shouyang lived?

She didn't dare to think about how a three-year-old child would spend nine long years holding the only piece of jade left by his mother every night.

Ping Shu didn't even dare to think about it. If Shouyang knew that his most precious jade was Luo Mingliang's gift to Xie Yu, what would his reaction be?

The auditorium was eerily quiet.

The atmosphere reversed almost strangely.

No one expected that Shouyang would say such a thing, let alone that Shouyang would live on a piece of jade.

Everyone was silent at the same time. Le Yi even pursed his thin lips tightly. He didn't expect that the uproar that originally wanted to stimulate Gu Zhihang would become a black hand that opened up Shouyang's bloody past.

Shao Wen’s eyes were still trembling slightly. He looked at the two people in front of him calmly. He knew it all along. Shouyang’s reticence to the past didn’t mean he had walked out. He was just too tough. He was so tough that he didn’t mention it. Anyone is allowed to walk in and face it with him.

"That was ten years ago." Gu Zhihang quietly looked at Shouyang whose eyes were trembling wildly. "And these... are the ten years that really belonged to you."

Shouyang's face was pale and his lips were trembling slightly. He suddenly pulled Gu Zhihang's collar and kissed him rudely.

In this auditorium, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shouyang just closed his eyes and kissed Gu Zhihang's lips frantically.

His hands tightly gripped the collar of Gu Zhihang's shirt. His knuckles turned white; he ruthlessly pulled Gu Zhihang's body, his strong chest stuck together without any gaps; temperature of every inch.

Gu Zhihang rarely indulged his wildness.

He understands Shouyang's loss of control.

Shouyang is not a person who is good at expressing feelings. TOP is his top priority. He cannot tolerate their feelings being used as capital to show off.

A faint smell of blood filled the air. Gu Zhihang still quietly obeyed Shouyang's rudeness, and slowly comforted him with a long and coordinated kiss.

Gu Zhihang couldn't help feeling guilty.

He understands Shouyang's resentment. He also understands that his concession can definitely touch Shouyang's inner bottom line. He can't tolerate showing off his feelings and the impact on his inner bottom line. He will definitely let Shouyang stand on his side.

But Gu Zhihang ignored it. The jade buddha hand on his chest has already become the entrance of Shouyang's nine-year nightmare.

Gu Zhihang tightly hugged the obviously stiff and trembling body in his arms. He felt the pain like a knife in his heart with force like punishment. If he had known earlier, Shouyang would have lost control. Carefully calculate each step.

Everyone watched quietly. No matter what thoughts they had in their hearts, no one dared to disturb.

They never knew. Two men kissing can be so beautiful that even the sound of breathing is a sacrilegious interruption.

After a long time, Shouyang slowly let go of Gu Zhihang.

Shouyang didn't raise his head to take a look at the group of brothers who had always dared not show his air. "I'm sorry. I lost my composure." He dragged Gu Zhihang around and left.

It snowed lightly.

The night before Christmas is as lively as the New Year's Day. However, the surrounding small parks are inevitably deserted.

Large and small neon lights are scattered in the green belt and on the ground. The colorful lights are just right. The trees are reflected like crystal sculptures. Crystal clear.

The temperature in St. Petersburg has already dropped below zero. The fountains in the park are no longer spraying water. Inside the white fence, the lifelike golden sculptures are covered with a layer of pure white snow. Even without the embellishment of water, it is still a beautiful place. exquisite garden.

The fine snowflakes are like grass seeds and tree species in late spring and early summer. They fall aimlessly.

Shouyang pursed his lips and walked forward without focus.

Tiny snow particles fell on the dark camel-colored fur-collared coat. It didn't melt for a long time.

Gu Zhihang's brows were furrowed all the time, and his eyes were fixed on the figure one step ahead.

Finally, Gu Zhihang grabbed Shouyang, "Stop thinking about it."

The man in front was forced to stop without looking back.

Gu Zhihang pulled him into his arms forcefully.

Shouyang's body was still slightly stiff. Even through the thick cloth, Gu Zhihang could feel his muscles tense and tremble slightly.

Seeing that he pursed his lips and drooped his eyelashes and said nothing, Gu Zhihang grabbed his arm and put in more effort. "Yang, it's all over. Don't think about it."

"It's all over." Shouyang broke away from him suddenly. "I can't get over it. I can't get over it forever. Those memories are like burning in my brain and I can't get rid of them. Do you understand?"

Gu Zhihang held his wrist tightly and did not let go.

Shouyang's body was so tense that it was cold. "Gu Zhihang. I'm a waste. I'm a hypocritical waste... Luo Minliang. That man, he will always be my nightmare. The nine years in the base will always be my inability to climb. A nightmare from which I cannot escape. Anything, a word, even just a picture will remind me again. Do you understand. Do you understand..."

He struggled hard against Gu Zhihang. So hard, it seemed that he would not give up until he broke free from the hand that was holding him tightly. But he desperately hoped that Gu Zhihang could just hold him tightly like this, never let go no matter what.

"Gu Zhihang, I'm just a coward. I'm just a cowardly coward." Shouyang's voice was suppressed as if he was growling with his heart. He wasn't hysterical like crazy, nor was he yelling out of control. But it was just such a low, depressive hoarseness The trembling sound made Gu Zhihang's heart ache like a knife.

Gu Zhihang tightly held Shouyang in his arms with his strong arms, hugging him with all his strength.

Shouyang is still struggling.

He is eagerly attached to this kind of real warmth and comfort. But this imprisoned feeling of suffocation makes him panic.

"Gu Zhihang. I can't admit that I'm afraid. I can't admit it. I'm TOP. I'm Satan. How can I be afraid..." Shouyang's muscles were as stiff as iron. His face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. "I want to forget. I I really want to forget. I even let Yi hypnotize me. But it didn't work... During the years when he treated me for my autism, hypnotism was useless to me... Gu Zhihang. What should I do. My memory of being three years old is so clear...I can't even forget a day. What should I do..."

Gu Zhihang couldn't say a word.

His personality has changed drastically. Is it because of Le Yi's treatment?

The snow particles under the neon lights are getting bigger and falling faster, gradually turning into large flakes of goose feather snow.

Gu Zhihang tightly hugged the man who was obviously more fragile than anyone else in his arms, and wrapped him tightly in his coat.

The noise of Christmas is as far away as a dream. This place is so quiet that even the sound of falling snow is disturbing.

Shouyang's hands tightly gripped Gu Zhihang's clothes, and his forehead was deeply buried in his neck.

Gu Zhihang let Shouyang attach all his strength to him, and gently stroked his back slowly, once and for all, silently soothing his coldness, his fear, and his rebellious hostility.

When the cold air completely soaked his body, Shouyang, who slowly calmed down, finally spoke again with a hoarse voice.

"When I was brought to the base, I was only three years old. He told me to study hard and listen to the instructor. Then, he would take me home to see my mother... I followed the team seven or eight as soon as I entered. The 10-year-old children ran a five-kilometer training. I couldn't run. I really couldn't run...I vomited blood. I ran until my lungs bled. But the instructor kicked me from behind. I was thrown to the ground I couldn't see the way. I could only kneel and crawl... Finally, I couldn't climb anymore. I just lay on the ground and cried while crawling... I crawled for three hours, far exceeding the stipulated three to [-] minutes.

After climbing back to the finish line, the instructor mercilessly kicked me down a ten-meter-high slope. He hung me under the horizontal bar for a whole night...during that time, I never once saw the man claiming to be my father ...In the subconscious, all the suffering I suffered, all my injuries, were all given to me by him. I can't escape, forget, let alone forgive."

Gu Zhihang's lips were tightly pursed. The hatred for Luo Minliang suddenly expanded infinitely.

This is his so-called love. This is Luo Mingliang's love for his own son.

"...I was only six years old when I first participated in jungle cross-country training. I had to go through a hundred kilometers of mountains and forests a day and a night. I was in the same group as a boy who was already in his teens. He thought I was cumbersome. Leave me alone The dagger. I left alone with the equipment... Gu Zhihang. I was not defeated. Really. I held the dagger all the way. There are wolves in the jungle. There are also snakes. But I still walked out alive... …When I ate raw snake meat, I vomited while eating. I vomited and cried at the same time. I finally cried until I couldn’t cry anymore...but I was still beaten to pieces by the instructor. Because the compass was taken away by the boys in the same team. I couldn’t find it. To the direction. Walked for two days and two nights. My battalion got the last place because of me..."

Gu Zhihang knew that Shouyang probably never mentioned these bloody pasts to anyone. They were the nightmare in Shouyang's heart. He didn't dare to touch them. He buried them in the depths of his mind with a strong posture. find.

Gu Zhihang pursed his lips tremblingly, stroked Shouyang's back over and over again, and hugged him tightly, as if to isolate him from all the harm.

"You must not know how I became the No.1 of the 15th Battalion in our district... You know the battle of life and death. After the students reach the age of 24, they are eligible to sign up for the confrontation between battalions. The winning students can get The selection quota for the 15 districts in the United States... I am the only one in our camp who is under [-] years old. The instructor has submitted a list of all our camps for the overall credits. The youngest students in the competition are also over [-] or [-] years old.

...I knew I was going to be killed. I didn't want to die. So, I stole the muscle stimulant. I didn't expect my reaction to the stimulant to be too violent. I fought my opponent like crazy. Finally. I put the entry The other 25 people in the final were all killed. Including the 24-year-old South African man who is most likely to win the championship... District [-] thought that our camp had a special elite. Ten years old can stand out in [-] camps. Not only the United States, even the international There has never been a special forces base. They trained me as an elite. But they didn't know. I was so red-eyed and couldn't stop..."

Gu Zhihang hugged Shouyang tightly, wishing he could embed him in his chest, kissed Shouyang's forehead over and over again, but couldn't say a word.

"Gu Zhihang."

Gu Zhihang didn't make a sound. He just hugged him even harder.

"...Gu Zhihang." Shouyang's hands were clenched suddenly. The hoarse voice was slightly panicked.

No one knew that he had called his mother over and over again at night. But no matter how hard he tried and how realistic the dream was, the Xie Yu in the dream who cared for him lovingly and only hugged and smiled at him never responded to him.

Shouyang was terrified of this kind of dream that was so real that it frightened him. He was afraid that Gu Zhihang would be like Xie Yu. It was just a dream that was too happy. Beauty would not give him any response. Then he would find out after waking up. He was still in that isolated base, living a dark and bloody life day and night.

"I'm here." Gu Zhihang answered him clearly in Shouyang's ear as if he understood his fear.

But Shouyang continued to call his name, as if it would never be possible to be rescued, exuding deadly despair. "Gu Zhihang...Gu Zhihang..."

"Yang." Gu Zhihang's heart ached so much that he just wanted to kill Luo Minliang. He lifted Shouyang's face forcefully, and pressed the back of his head so that Shouyang could look into his eyes. "Look clearly. I'm by your side right now. No one is there. No chance to hurt you again. I will never leave. See clearly."

Shouyang's messy eyes were a little sluggish. He stared blankly at Gu Zhihang, as if he was confirming whether what he saw was real or not, and also as if he was discerning the meaning of what he said. But his eyes, which were as clear as water, still didn't have a clear focus.

After a long time, Gu Zhihang finally let out a sigh.

Shouyang only felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.

Gu Zhihang hugged the man who finally calmed down, and kissed his forehead lightly. "Go to sleep. I will always be here."
