love of life

Gu Ming hugged Lin Zexi from behind, and the two stood quietly for a while.Gu Ming felt the person in his arms move, and finally broke the silence and asked in a low voice: "What will you do to keep you from leaving?"

"We don't belong to the same world. Isn't it good to start a new life?"

"Since I don't belong to the same world, why did you come to provoke me in the first place? Don't you think this is very unkind?"

"I just want to make a living under your father. You saw my situation at the time, but I didn't expect to cause you such a big trouble. I'm sorry, if it's useful."

"You..." Gu Ming only felt that he was angry, but he didn't know what he was angry about.I just feel depressed inside and just don't want him to leave. "Have you thought about what to do in the future? Why don't you open a restaurant, and I can invest in it for you. You are such a good cook, it's a waste not to be a chef."

"This..." Lin Zexi was hesitating, when suddenly the phone rang, and it was Tian Yingzhi calling.Lin Zexi took the opportunity to break away from Gu Ming's embrace, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

Gu Ming looked at his back and kept thinking about how to keep him, at least not to break contact.

Lin Zexi hung up the phone, walked towards Gu Ming, and said cautiously, "Well... Teacher Tian called just now and asked us to go over for dinner."

Gu Ming looked at him, nodded unexpectedly and said, "Okay, let's clean up and go there."

Lin Zexi stared at him with wide eyes, slightly parted lips, and was quite frightened.Gu Ming enjoyed his surprised expression very much, he didn't explain much, but there was a hint of joy in his brows and eyes.

Just stepped into Gu's house, before Gu Wenbin came home, Tian Yingzhi, who was busy in the kitchen, came out to greet them.The three of them sat down in the living room. Although Gu Ming didn't take the initiative to speak, Lin Zexi felt that the atmosphere today was much more harmonious. This made him, who had been prepared all along, heaved a sigh of relief inexplicably.

"Zexi, it's good that this incident is over, and the police will close the case for you in a short time. Then you will be more free, and you can do whatever you want. Have you ever thought about continuing to go to school?" Tian Yingzhi asked.

"I haven't thought about it that much."

"That's right, don't worry, just think slowly. If you need money, just let me know. We have a special fund for this area, providing entrepreneurial guidance or grants. If your case is cleared, we can also help you apply for government grants. "Tian Yingzhi said.

"Eh, subsidy?"

"Well, wrongly judged cases have been rehabilitated."

"But I pleaded guilty on my own initiative at that time." Lin Zexi said, Gu Ming's expression on the side was a little ugly.Every time Gu Ming heard this passage of the past, it was difficult for Gu Ming to calm down.

"You don't have to worry about this. We're here to help you apply. It's best if you have one. If not, the fund will find other ways to help you. You should think about what you want to do in the future."

Lin Zexi nodded, and Gu Ming took over and said, "He is a very good cook, and I want to support him in opening a restaurant."

Tian Yingzhi focused his attention on Gu Ming, looked at him for a while, and then said: "Really? Ze Xilu will do it for a while, I haven't tasted your cooking skills for a long time. Gu Ming, sit down for a while, Ze Xilu Help me in the kitchen."

Gu Ming watched the two of them walk into the kitchen, and looked around the living room by himself.He hadn't stayed at home for several years, and the furniture and decorations were still the same as before, but there was a different feeling.There is more of the feeling on Tian Yingzhi's body, soft, warm and energetic.The home he remembered was empty and cold, spotlessly clean, with no unnecessary furnishings except for the necessary furniture, just like a high-end hotel, making people feel no sense of belonging.He couldn't find any smell of his mother's life in the house, which made him a little unhappy.His mother was more like a mark and symbol to him. She also hugged him and smiled at him, but he didn't seem to feel any warmth.Over the years, he has been relying on a few warm scenes in his memory to support all his memories of his mother, but he couldn't find any more details.He only attributed all this to being too young and not having a deep memory.

A cough came from behind Gu Ming, and he knew it was Gu Wenbin who had returned.He didn't look back, but just looked at the ornaments on the closet motionlessly.In the grid at the farthest corner is a small Transformers figurine.At that time, his mother gave him a birthday present when he was eight years old. He hadn't seen it for five or six years, and he didn't expect it to be placed in the corner of the living room.

"Are you back?" Gu Wenbin stood in the middle of the living room, looking at his son's back and said.

Gu Ming didn't answer, he reached out to pick up the Transformer, the small and thick texture was exactly the same as he remembered.The color has started to fade without a trace of dust.He lightly stroked a scratch on the helmet, which he scratched when he was fighting Ultraman with it, and his heart ached for a long time because of it.At that time, his mother comforted him for a while, then went out and did not come back for several days.

"You still remember this toy. You liked it very much when you were a child. When you moved out, I saw him fall on the floor of the room, so I put it here. I didn't expect it to be left for five or six years." Gu Wenbin's tone today Also eased a lot.

"How did Mom die?" Gu Ming didn't look back, and asked coldly what had been hidden in his heart for many years.

"Don't you know about traffic accidents? On the highway, I collided with a big car." Gu Wenbin looked at his son's back with complex emotions intertwined in his eyes.

"Why did she drive so far alone in the middle of the night? She called you half an hour before the accident, and what did she say? Did you ask her out?" Gu Ming held the handbook tightly in his hand and turned around. Staring at Gu Wenbin and asking, after all these years, they can finally discuss this issue face to face.

"She called me that night and said that she had something urgent to go out and asked me to go home early to take care of you. She didn't say anything else. I only found out after the police called me." Gu Wenbin said.

"Where did she go? Didn't you just ask her when she went out alone at night? Since you don't love her, why did you get married? Why did you give birth to me?" Gu Ming stepped forward, stood in front of him and questioned, Feeling a little excited.

"Gu Ming, how can you say that? No matter what our relationship is, we love you the same."

"Please don't do unnecessary things in the name of love. Do you know? Since that person walked in the door, I know that you have feelings. The way you look at him, the tone of your speech, and your behavior are everything. It’s different from before. In contrast, you in the past are like a walking dead, you tell me why you married your mother? Is it just for money as rumored?” He thought of his grey-haired grandparents and the sadness of losing their daughter in their later years The attitude of not getting in touch with his son-in-law and his grief, and his son-in-law's old age and death, deeply hurt his young heart.

Gu Wenbin slapped the table and stood up, shouting loudly: "Gu Ming, what's your attitude? Do you want to say that I made my fortune by eating soft food? Now my career is all my own hard work. Everything in the Yao family I haven't even touched it."

At this time, Tian Yingzhi and Lin Zexi, who were in the kitchen, ran out, pulled each other, and quickly persuaded them to leave.Gu Wenbin was sent upstairs by Tian Yingzhi to change clothes, while Gu Ming sat in the living room with a sullen face.

Tian Yingzhi walked over and sat next to him and said, "Gu Ming, you shouldn't say that about your father. The past is unclear, and he also has his own difficulties."

"If there is anything unclear, just do what you want. I just hate him like this. My mother has been dead for eight years. In these eight years, he didn't say anything. He didn't even see his grandparents. Apart from indifference, I I can't see any emotion." The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years finally vented out, and Gu Ming could hardly restrain the surging emotions in his heart.

"Gu Ming, he also has his own difficulties. During that time, his company was facing a big crisis, you know? Competitors took advantage of the fire, and your grandparents blamed his daughter's death on him. He didn't have so much energy to take care of it. When it comes to you, he has tried his best to do his best." Tian Yingzhi said.

"I don't know about the company, his work, his life, everything about him, and he never tells me."

"You were a child at that time, saying these things will only increase your troubles. This is the way of expressing fatherly love. You can't misunderstand him because of this."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Why did he marry my mother if he doesn't love her? He is gay. Didn't he know that such a marriage would kill a woman? Don't tell me that he just got married in the past few years. A sudden change of sexuality. There was no love between the two of them, even though I was a kid at the time, I could feel it."

Tian Yingzhi bit his lip, but finally did not speak.Gu Wenbin came down from upstairs, and the living room suddenly fell into dead silence.Gu Ming's emotions were agitated to the point where he lost the mood to sit down and have a good meal, and he just wanted to leave when he got up.

"The meal will be ready soon, where are you going?" Tian Yingzhi grabbed him and asked.

"I don't have an appetite, I'm going back first." Gu Ming shook off his hand forcefully, and he leaned back and fell down on the sofa.

Gu Wenbin ran over quickly, supported Tian Yingzhi, and shouted loudly: "Gu Ming, why are you crazy? The whole family finally got together to have a meal, do you have to be so stiff every time?"

Gu Ming sneered, "Didn't I learn from you? With your attitude, can you get along well?"

Lin Zexi, who had been standing blankly by the side, came over and grabbed Gu Ming and said, "Okay, stop talking, dinner will be served soon, shall we leave after eating?"

Gu Ming turned his head to look at him, and swallowed the words that had come to his lips.He shook off his hand, but with significantly less force.

Tian Yingzhi saw that Gu Ming's mood had eased a lot, so he quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, let's have dinner right away. Zexi, you just sit here with them for a while, and I'll serve the food." He returned it to Lin Zexi before finishing the kitchen. He gave him a look and asked him to take a good look at the father and son and stop arguing.

Gu Ming glanced at Gu Wenbin, then sat down in the corner of the sofa without saying a word.Lin Zexi nodded awkwardly at Gu Wenbin, walked over to Gu Ming and sat down.Gu Wenbin watched the two's every move, and finally fixed his eyes on Lin Zexi, looking thoughtful.
