Can't tell the truth from the fake

When Gu Wen and Lu Xi first got together, Lu Xi always liked to knead Gu Wen's palm with his right hand. Whether he was shopping, eating, or watching movies at home, he always had this habit.

Gu Wen once asked him curiously, Lu Xi smiled, and gently rubbed his palm with callused fingertips.

"Holding your hand makes me feel at ease."

Gu Wen listened to his lover's sweet and tender love words, his hands were itchy from his gentle movements, he also rubbed his fingers with the movements he imitated from Lu Xi, but he felt that the skin on his fingertips was slightly rough.

"Why are there so many calluses on your hands?"

Lu Xi's hands paused, and after a while he said casually: "You know, I work as a security guard in a bar. I usually carry a stick and move things part-time besides bluffing people."

There was pity on Gu Wen's handsome face, he rubbed his soft black hair, and said, "Why don't you come to my company, there are many positions for..."

"Stop, stop!" Lu Xi gestured helplessly, and he sighed, "Gu Wen, I know you're doing it for my own good, but I'm not capable of doing mental work like sitting in an office every day. Simple and rough work is more suitable for me."

Gu Wen also euphemistically proposed to let him do some mind-free and easy work, but Lu Xi firmly rejected it.

"Okay, then if you change your mind, you must tell me." Gu Wen had no choice but to give up, he poked the tip of Lu Xi's nose, "You..."

The days passed quickly, and the two lived together like this, and their relationship gradually heated up with the passage of time. There were not only the sweet and loving interactions between the lovers during the passionate love period, but also the plainness and tacit understanding after being with each other for many years.

In their first year together, the two went back to Gu Wen's old house again. This time they confessed their relationship to their parents and received the most sincere and sincere blessings from Gu Wen's parents.

In the second year they were together, Gu Wen took over the huge Gu Group from his father, and the bar where Lu Xi worked was also moved to the vicinity of Gu Wen's company headquarters.So the two lived together in Gu Wen's newly renovated duplex house in a nearby real estate, and started living together.

In the third year they were together, Gu Wen and Lu Xi planned to go to an orphanage to adopt a newborn baby, planned to go to Barcelona, ​​Spain to hold a wedding, and they also planned to travel around the world when they were old...

……

Gu Wen sat on the side of the icy concrete road of the cross-river bridge, looking up at the night sky in front of him.

The pitch-black sky seemed to be smeared with ink on the rice paper, and it was also like a dark curtain without a trace of color, reflected in his desperate eyes without a trace of light.

He tremblingly took out a cigarette and wanted to light it with a lighter. His cold fingertips felt unnaturally stiff in the cool wind by the river.

"Pa—" the lighter fell to the ground.

He bent down to pick up the lighter, but he didn't lift up for a long time.His head was buried deep between his knees, and his hair was messed up by the hands inserted between the hair.

In a trance, apart from the screams of the evening wind, there was only the faint sobbing sound on the silent Beijiang River.

Then in the third year, he lost the whole world.

……

At first, when Gu Wen decided to expand into the US market, the company's operations had problems.

He repeatedly flipped through the quarterly analysis and financial statements sent by his secretary, frowned tightly.

After his parents handed over the management of the company to him, they immigrated abroad.Apart from those old people around him who thought he was too young to take on important tasks, there were not many right-hand assistants who could be of use to him.

His prestige has not been erected, and every time a general meeting of shareholders is held, it is basically equivalent to a meeting of accusations against him by the stubborn old man.Fortunately, in the past year, Gu Wen has resisted the pressure from all parties with his growing annual profit.

But this time, due to the loss caused by unfavorable management, the group, headed by the oldest Lin Lao, collectively questioned him.

During this period of time, Gu Wen's heart was full of impatience and boredom every day, even returning to the warm home and listening to his lover's concerned greetings, it was difficult to relieve the depression in his body.

He began to constantly pick on Lu Xi's mistakes, and the trivial things that used to be insignificant were now infinitely magnified in his eyes.For example, the slippers at the door were not placed on the shoe rack, the shrimp porridge for dinner was not light enough, and the mirror in the bathroom was covered with foam from nowhere...

During this period, Lu Xi has been silently tolerant of him, he only silently looked at him with his big black and white eyes, and silently dealt with those things.

Until one time, when Gu Wen returned home after working overtime, he found that the familiar light at the door of the house was not lit up as before, and Lu Xi could not be found in the dark and empty room.

——He suddenly became afraid, could Lu Xi not be able to bear his bad temper...and left.

He frantically called Lu Xi several times, but no one answered.When he pressed the dial button again with hidden desperation, the call finally got through.

"Gu Wen? What's the matter?" A familiar voice sounded in his ear, and Gu Wen became slightly choked up.

"Lu Xi, I... I'm sorry."

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Xi seemed to have gone to a relatively quiet place, and the loud heavy metal music in the bar became much quieter. "I'm working overtime. I'll talk about it when I go home."

"...I thought you left me too." Gu Wen murmured.

Lu Xi smiled: "Gu Wen, each of us loses control of our emotions, it's normal."

"But we have to work hard to restrain it. We can't let emotions control the brain, but use reason to overwhelm them."

"Honey, you can do it. You'll fix it all, I trust you."

Gu Wen listened to the consolation of his lover who was two years younger than him on the phone, and his heart was filled with guilt and deep emotion.

He sniffed and replied firmly: "Okay!"
