The Melancholy of a Third-Rate Writer

At the end of the year, Gu Ping was even busier.The project that Mr. Qin personally assigned to him is far bigger than the one he got from Secretary He before - but this does not mean that the previous work is completely useless. It is precisely because of the previous experience that Gu Ping boldly puts It took over.

Even now, Gu Ping is still very cautious, so he often works overtime, and actively consults the experience of seniors in the industry.

Gu Ping didn't know whether getting more and more involved with Mr. Qin was a disaster or a blessing. He only clearly understood that after taking this project, the Gu family would officially label it as "Qin Family".

This is probably because Mr. Qin saw that the Gu family was developing well and wanted to squeeze out his "surplus value" as much as possible.

Even if Mr. Qin gets tired of it in the end, the investment in Gu's family will not lose money.

The line between the two is becoming increasingly clear.

Such a change made Gu Ping feel more relaxed.

On the day of the winter solstice, Gu Ping happened to be in the capital to run project affairs.Seeing that it was still early after work, I called the friend who opened the restaurant to reserve a good box for myself.

This restaurant is not a big business, it just sells cleanliness and elegance. Gu Ping's favorite private room has a large bright window, and the antique window lattice traps the mountain covered with the first snow, like a natural winter picture.

After booking the seat, Gu Ping drove to Mr. Qin's house and called Mr. Qin's phone number.

Outside the bed, Mr. Qin's voice has always been a bit impersonal: "Is there something wrong?"

Gu Pinghun didn't care, he smiled and asked: "Is Mr. Qin free? I want to ask you out for dinner."

Mr. Qin raised his eyebrows, and finally his tone fluctuated a bit: "It's rare that you have such thoughts."

Gu Ping said, "Today is the winter solstice." He looked at the white snow floating outside the car window, and laughed, "It sounds interesting to enjoy the snow in early winter, and ordinary people like us should be arty once in a while."

Mr. Qin looked out the window and said, "The snow fell early this year."

Gu Ping didn't intend to gossip like this, he asked again: "Mr. Qin doesn't have time?"

Mr. Qin said, "Where are you going?"

Gu Ping opened the car door and stepped out, said with a smile, "I'll wait for you outside the gate."

Mr. Qin went to the window and looked down, and saw Gu Ping leaning against the station in front of the door.As if aware of his gaze, Gu Ping raised his hand and waved at him.

Mr. Qin hung up the phone and looked at the smile on Gu Ping's face from afar, which seemed to come from the heart.

Gu Ping has changed a lot since the window of "substitutes" was broken between them.For example, in the past, Gu Ping never took the initiative and would only wait for him to find him.Now Gu Ping often travels to the capital with the convenience of the project, and will take the initiative to come to him from time to time. This change seems to be a matter of course, so naturally he can't find a chance to beat Gu Ping.

But being fooled twice in a row, how could Mr. Qin be fooled for the third time?

No matter how natural it is, it's just a disguise.

Mr. Qin picked up his coat and went downstairs.

When Gu Ping saw Mr. Qin coming out, he patted the snow on his shoulder with a smile, and then he helped Mr. Qin open the car door to invite people into the car, before going around to the other side and sitting in the driver's seat.

Mr. Qin asked: "How is the project going?"

Gu Ping said: "A few places are quite tricky, but the people below are very useful, I believe they will come up with a solution soon."

Mr. Qin said, "You have confidence."

Gu Ping said: "Mr. Qin, you trust me to hand over the project to me. How can I not have confidence?"

Mr. Qin said: "No, I gave you the project for the convenience of fucking you."

Gu Ping was choked by Mr. Qin's obscene words, but he still looked normal: "That means that you trust me, Mr. Qin. How can ordinary people rest assured that he has two jobs? Both tasks are so important. Heavy, not to mention the busy work at both ends, just serving you on the bed is already exhausting."

Mr. Qin found it very interesting to hear Gu Ping say flattery in a serious tone.Gu Ping's bottom line seems to never be seen, whether it is physical abuse or verbal insults, Gu Ping can take it all - such a guy, even if you give him a slap, he can still smile at you .

This kind of person could have been evaluated with the word "humble".

But even if he was trampled on in the cruelest way, when faced with that forbearing and jerky expression, he couldn't put the word "bad" on him no matter what.

For some reason, Mr. Qin became more and more interested in Gu Ping's real "bottom line".He wanted to tear off Gu Ping's mask completely and see Gu Ping's most real side.

Mr. Qin commented pointedly: "You can speak with this mouth, but you don't seem to be good at other uses."

Gu Ping was taken aback.

As far as their relationship is concerned, what does the "other purpose" mentioned by Mr. Qin refer to?

Gu Ping's hand holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.

Sure enough, the counterfeit will have to pay a price after it is discovered.

In the past, as long as he pretended to be obedient and calm, he would not encounter any difficulties at all - after all, Mr. Qin was reluctant to torment him.

——or in other words, he was reluctant to embarrass a counterfeit that was too similar to the real master.

What kind of feeling is that?

Obviously, the frenzy was about to burn, but he had to force himself to suppress it into ashes, so he could only find a little comfort from the substitute.

Definitely sincere and profound.

It definitely hurts to hide it in my heart, and it hurts even more to dig it out, so I can only bury it deep in my heart.

The Gu family got out of the crisis with the light of such a relationship, and it was nothing to sacrifice some insignificant dignity for it.

Anyway, someone like him doesn't need that kind of thing at all.

Gu Ping smiled brightly, turned to Mr. Qin and said, "I will study hard later."

Gu Pingyun's light smile and understated tone made Mr. Qin feel as if something stung him.

If he had never seen Gu Ping's high-spirited appearance, he would have thought that Gu Ping had always had a submissive and obedient character in front of him.

But Gu Ping was not.

Why did Gu Ping look like this in front of him?

The answer could not be clearer: for the sake of the family.

In order to take care of his family, he sold himself to someone he had never met—it didn't have to be him, it could be anyone else.It's just that he can help the Gu family more, so Gu Ping chose him, even if he knew that he was a substitute for others, he didn't care.

What a touching sacrifice.

Mr. Qin sneered and said, "It's best that you have already learned it when we meet next time."

Gu Ping had stayed by Mr. Qin's side for several years, and he could tell that Mr. Qin was angry again.He really couldn't think of where he had offended Mr. Qin just now, he was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

Mr. Qin gave the order: "Turn your head, go back."

Gu Ping paused, turned the car and drove back.

Mr. Qin closed his eyes and meditated.

Gu Ping drove back quietly, and when he drove the car into the villa and in front of the house, he hesitated and said, "Mr. Qin, we're here."

Mr. Qin opened his eyes and looked at him.

Thinking of being able to help anyone in the Gu family get the person in front of him, it is difficult for Mr. Qin to suppress the anger in his heart.

Mr. Qin abruptly pressed Gu Ping against the car window, and stretched out his hand to tear off his clothes.

Gu Ping was slightly taken aback.

Mr. Qin said, "What? You won't provide services if you change places?"

Gu Ping was startled, then quickly calmed down, and said, "No." He struggled to open the drawer and took out the lubricant from inside, "As long as Mr. Qin needs it, it can be anywhere."

Mr. Qin said: "Expand yourself first."

The car was too narrow, and the air seemed to freeze, making Gu Ping's breathing extremely difficult.

Gu Ping closed his eyes, obediently carried out Mr. Qin's instructions with trembling hands.

Mr. Qin refused to let him go: "Open your eyes."

Gu Ping's body stiffened instantly.

Mr. Qin sneered and repeated: "Open your eyes."

Gu Ping opened his eyes.

The corners of his eyes were a little moist.

Vision is a little hazy.

The car was too small, too small for him to hide his embarrassment and bitterness.

Mr. Qin pushed him back heavily, penetrated his body brutally and coldly, and uttered evil words: "Why are you so despicable!"

Gu Ping closed his eyes tightly and did not refute.

He remembered that many years ago when he was very ill, his mother hugged him and asked his father to borrow life-saving money.He was drowsy and heard his father say: "You insisted on giving birth to this bastard, I didn't force you."

His birth was a mistake.

A person like him doesn't need any dignity.

Gu Ping clenched his hands into fists by his side, biting his lip to endure the pain in his body that was hard to ignore.

Tears didn't know when they started to fall, making his face wet.

Mr. Qin found out that Gu Ping was crying all the time when Gu Ping was about to lose consciousness.

He paused, lowered his head and kissed the tears off Gu Ping's face, picked up the jacket beside him to cover Gu Ping's body, and carried Gu Ping out of the car.

The falling fine snow made Gu Ping tremble slightly, trying to open his eyes, but he couldn't.

I felt my body in my arms was getting hot, obviously I was extremely busy recently, and I was tossed too hard just now, my body couldn't take it anymore, and I had a fever.Mr. Qin tightened his arms and scolded: "Gu Ping, when did you start playing tricks like bragging rights?"

Gu Ping opened his lips, wanting to say something, but his mind went blank.In the end, he gave up his defense after all, and limply leaned into Mr. Qin's arms.

While carrying Gu Ping upstairs, Mr. Qin said in a cold voice: "Now you have remembered your trick? Even if you were just a little softer just now, you wouldn't make it like this-you know my trick temper."

Gu Ping finally squeezed out a sentence: "...I'm sorry."

Such pain and despair were not caused by Mr. Qin.

It wasn't Mr. Qin who made him almost collapse.

Mr. Qin never gave him any hope, and he never expected anything from Mr. Qin.

He has always been very clear that Mr. Qin's sudden kisses, Mr. Qin's occasional expressions of concern, and Mr. Qin's fiery desires are all caused by another person.

His own problems should not cause trouble to Mr. Qin.

Listening to Gu Ping's unrestrained tone, Mr. Qin was too angry to speak.

Great, really good!

Now he really wants to know how Gu Ping's head grows—after being insulted to the extent just now, he still said "I'm sorry" to him!

Mr. Qin carried Gu Ping into the bathroom.

Looking at the bruise marks on Gu Ping's body, Mr. Qin's face darkened, his lips pursed into a straight line.He helped Gu Ping, whose consciousness was no longer clear, clean up his body, carried Gu Ping to the bed, took out the antipyretic medicine and fed Gu Ping to swallow it, and then gave him hot water.

Gu Ping's breathing quickly became steady, and he fell asleep peacefully.

Mr. Qin thought for a while, took a book and sat on the other side of the bed, watching Gu Ping's body temperature.

The antipyretics seemed to be effective, and the burning sensation from Gu Ping's body gradually disappeared.The book in Mr. Qin's hand stayed on the same page for a long time, unable to turn to the next page.

It was obviously just a transaction, and Gu Ping was a knowledgeable person, why did he have the kind of intense and almost manic emotions today?

If it weren't for the fear that such terrible violence would hurt the people he cared about, he wouldn't watch "he" come together with others.

and many more.

--care?

Mr. Qin grasped a clue.

If he only regarded the relationship with Gu Ping as a transaction like at the beginning, he would not care what kind of person Gu Ping was, whether Gu Ping was wearing a mask, and even less would he care whether Gu Ping was here. Those who do not refuse.

Since when did he start to be curious about Gu Ping, start to test Gu Ping's nature, start... wanting to really possess Gu Ping, instead of being satisfied with getting a fake that can almost be mistaken for the real thing?

Mr. Qin's face became very ugly in an instant.

He suddenly realized that he had overlooked something very important.

——After he trampled on Gu Ping's dignity under his feet.
