Gu Zhilin picked up the phone on the table for the fifth time, but there was still no prompt message.

Since Huo Chengfeng left that day, he hasn't looked for Gu Zhilin again, and he didn't even send a text message to report on time every day.

Now Huo Chengfeng is no longer entangled as he wished, but Gu Zhilin is not as happy as expected, he seems to have lost half of himself now, and he has no strength in his body.

Gu Zhilin threw the phone on the table and made a clear "pop".

He hugged his head depressedly, thinking about what to do.

He tried almost all possible methods, but none of them worked, no matter whether it was text messages or phone calls, he couldn't reach Huo Chengfeng.

He couldn't go directly to Huo Chengfeng's company, besides, he didn't know the address.

It was only then that Gu Zhilin realized that he knew very little about Huo Chengfeng. He didn't know where Huo Chengfeng had been, what he had done in those seven years, and what he was doing now.

He didn't even ask Huo Chengfeng's address.

Compared to Huo Chengfeng, he is always so careless.

So Huo Chengfeng should be angry.

He finally knew that he had really caused trouble this time.

Gu Zhilin waited anxiously for a few days, but there was still no response, so he had no choice but to go to Fang Caiyu to inquire about Huo Chengfeng's condition.

Fang Caiyu didn't seem surprised by his arrival at all, and just said: "Are you here to ask about Huo Chengfeng?"

Gu Zhilin nodded embarrassedly.

In fact, he only met Fang Caiyu once, so it can be said that he is not familiar with him at all, but it is related to Huo Chengfeng, so he can only pin his hopes on the other party.

Fang Caiyu looked at him for a while with complicated eyes, and then slowly replied: "Zhizhi, don't you mind if I call you that? You actually don't know Huo Chengfeng at all, do you?"

When she spoke, there was a clarity of insight into the world, which made Gu Zhilin, who felt naive, feel ashamed. He didn't even nod his head, and his eyes wandered.

"He really protects you very well, he doesn't understand anything." Fang Caiyu continued, "You probably don't know that Huo Chengfeng has serious psychological problems, right?"

When Gu Zhilin heard this, he was shocked, raised his head in disbelief, and looked at Fang Caiyu who was opposite.

He really didn't believe Fang Caiyu's words, whether it was before or now, Huo Chengfeng was always fine in front of him, he didn't look a little sick.

Fang Caiyu seemed to read his mind, with a mocking smile on her face: "Have you noticed that he must cling to you when he sleeps at night, and has a strong desire to possess you?"

It seemed to realize something: "Oh, I forgot, you haven't seen each other for seven years, so you don't know."

"He's just pretending to be normal in front of you."

What she said was so ironic, but Gu Zhilin was powerless to refute it, because that was the truth, he had indeed been ignoring Huo Chengfeng.

He thought, he really did something wrong, but he didn't dare to believe that there was something wrong with Huo Chengfeng.

Seeing him like that, Fang Caiyu didn't say anything, just said "Think about it", and walked away.

Gu Zhilin returned home distraught, thinking about Fang Caiyu's words in his mind, but within two days, he met Huo Chengfeng again, and it was still on the most unexpected occasion.

He accompanied the research institute's tutor to attend a new product launch event. The tutor chatted with the reunited old friend, leaving him alone to look around boredly. When he turned around, he saw Huo Chengfeng, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

Huo Chengfeng was still wearing formal clothes, but it was very different from usual.He walked in the direction of Gu Zhilin with a female companion on his arm, he didn't seem to see Gu Zhilin, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth that didn't reach his eyes, the light was turning around, casting on his face, there was a kind of charm mature breath.

Gu Zhilin looked at Huo Chengfeng's strange side, and subconsciously took a step back. He didn't know why, but felt that the person in front of him was very far away from him.

When he stepped back, he didn't notice the table behind him, his arm accidentally touched the glass placed on it, shook it, and made a crisp low sound.

Huo Chengfeng looked towards him.

Gu Zhilin looked at him nervously, opened his mouth slightly, and pressed his fingers tightly against the long table behind him, his heartbeat started to speed up, he was afraid and at the same time vaguely looking forward to something.

Huo Chengfeng seemed to finally see him, but he just frowned, then turned his head away, and walked away with his female companion.

The light above his head turned pale in an instant, and Gu Zhilin felt like he was drowning, his throat seemed to be choked, making it difficult to breathe.

He didn't expect that Huo Chengfeng would ignore him.

He thought, even if he did something wrong, Huo Chengfeng shouldn't treat him with this attitude.

The more he thought about it, the anger in his heart was like a sprouting bud, growing rapidly, he couldn't suppress it, and chased it out unwillingly.

Huo Chengfeng seemed to be deliberately leading him, so he asked his girlfriend to leave halfway, and waited in a small garden.

The flower bed is full of tulips, and the Buddha blends into the bright moonlight, blooming quietly, but Gu Zhilin has no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery at this time.

He gasped and stopped, trying to calm down his shortness of breath, Huo Chengfeng just looked at him without saying a word.

When he ran out, he was still full of anger, but when he actually stood in front of Huo Chengfeng, Gu Zhilin was not so confident.

He looked at Huo Chengfeng, he didn't look like Fang Caiyu had a problem in his mouth, he was clearly a healthy person, so he took the initiative to show his favor and said, "Xiaofeng, are you still angry?"

Huo Chengfeng didn't answer, but just stared at him for a while, and after a long while, he answered irrelevantly: "Brother, I was wondering if I was too indulgent with you, so I let you do it over and over again." Do something stupid."

Gu Zhilin didn't quite understand what he said, but he had a hunch that Huo Chengfeng's anger this time was really different from before.

Unstoppable regret flooded in like a wave, overwhelming him.

He didn't dare to look at Huo Chengfeng, and seemed to be saying to himself, his voice was low and inaudible, seemingly nothing: "Xiaofeng, don't be angry anymore."

A silence with a rich fragrance of flowers spread between the two.

Gu Zhilin looked down at his toes. This was his reaction when he was depressed. After a long time, Huo Chengfeng's shadow on the ground hit by the moonlight moved.

He leaned forward, bent down, leaned into Gu Zhilin's ear and said, "Brother, I'm not angry anymore, but I won't indulge you like before."

His ethereal and long voice seemed to come from far away, bewitching Gu Zhilin's heart bewitched by the moonlight.

Gu Zhilin looked up at him obsessively, they were so close that he could see himself in Huo Chengfeng's eyes.

Only myself.

Gu Zhilin thought, when did he become like this?

Maybe it was because the moonlight was too bright, or the atmosphere was so wonderful that he lost his mind unconsciously. At this moment, Huo Chengfeng approached, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "This is the first step."

After he finished speaking, he left Gu Zhilin alone in the fragrant garden.
