Before I became the legendary boss

Gu Lindong's rapid rise to popularity, besides attracting a large number of fans, is not without negative effects.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that a wave of Yunqi fans finally couldn't help jumping out, accusing Gu Lindong of binding Yunqi's superiors from the beginning to the end, and all kinds of blood-sucking hype are obvious to all.On the other hand, the Donggu sisters also argued hard, presenting the facts to prove that Gu Lindong relied on his own performance.

"Achievement? A movie is called actual achievement when it hits a blockbuster? Then what do we call Yunqi's so many films from childhood to adulthood? Is your family Gu Lindong's ATM??"

So, there are no permanent friends in the fan circle, only permanent rivals and one-on-one friends.Because of Gu Lindong's popularity, he was finally recognized by Xi Shi's sisters as his opponent. This kind of feeling that the reincarnation system is sincere and not deceitful made He Rong have mixed feelings.

Now, the most important issue facing He Rong is not the fandom war, but the mission goal of the next stage——

[The starring movie won the box office champion of the month.The number of fans reached 3000 million. 】

coming.

He Rong thought to himself.

Sure enough, in order to win the Best Actor, one must break through this final hurdle.

When he was thinking about the next step facing the screen, the little table pet came out solemnly, and gently rubbed his thumb against He Rong, as if comforting him through the screen, making He Rong's old father's soul burn instantly .

clothing?Buy, buy, buy, buy a set from dresses to costumes.

snack?Buy, buy, buy, some small props like rabbit ears...the handcuffs will be removed.

He Rong noticed that the heart shape at the top right of the screen had been filled, and it was still emitting a faint red light.This made He Rongxi couldn't help it, it seemed that the task of nurturing was completed well, and the little table pet had grown up healthily.He raised his index finger and poked the other party's bulging face, the little table pet let him flirt with him, with an obedient and obedient appearance.

At this moment, someone rubbed He Rong's head, he put down his phone and looked up, Gu Lindong looked at him with a half smile.

"What game to play? So happy."

He Rong obediently stuffed the phone into his pocket.

"Brother Dong has worked hard."

The staff next to them are also greeting them, and Gu Lindong's last photoshoot is over today.

They drove back home.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when they got home, and neither of them had dinner.Gu Lindong planned to do it by himself.In fact, both of them belonged to the type of a gentleman who cooks far away, but since Gu Lindong moved into his new home, he would try to cook by himself from time to time, and He Rong was too embarrassed to eat for nothing, so he could only help him on the sidelines.

Today's menu is very simple cola chicken wings and okra salad.

He Rong washed the chicken wings bought in the supermarket, drained them, and handed them over to Gu Lindong.Gu Lindong fried both sides of the chicken wings until golden brown, then poured in cola and various seasonings, added water to cover the pot and cooked slowly.At this time, He Rong had already taken care of the okra.Gu Lindong set up another pot of boiling water, and when the water boiled, he poured the okra into it, scalded it slightly, and then poured it into the ice water.He Rong cut off the head and tail.

Both He Rong and Gu Lindong's tastes are bland, so only a little fresh soy sauce was added to the okra.While He Rong was busy mixing okra, the water in the pot on the other side was almost dry.As soon as Gu Lindong opened the lid, the aroma filled the room.After Gu Lindong confirmed that the taste was good, he started cooking.

He Rong sat at the table, and with a warm heart, he and Gu Lindong finished the two dishes together.

The time after meals is generally spent in the study.

Gu Lindong likes to read books, and he usually reads original books, so there are not many He Rong can read on the bookshelf.At times like this, He Rong usually chooses to take out his mobile phone to tease his son (desk pet) for a while, or choose a script for Gu Lindong, but today for some reason, he suddenly became interested in books, and wanted to find something to read. read.

He Rong strolled among the towering bookshelves, as if he had returned to that ancient and luxurious mansion.The fragrance of books flows around in the scattered light and shadow, which makes the heart calm.He raised his head and glanced over the words that he could understand or couldn't understand one by one.Not long after, He Rong saw a somewhat familiar hardcover book, and stretched out his hand like a ghost.

This is a fairy tale translation with the original text attached.The content is the familiar story about the daughter of the country of the sea.

Mr. Davies had read it to him one sunny afternoon.The other party's voice was deep and sweet, like the organ of a distant church, making He Rong drowsy.

What was I thinking at that time?

He Rong stared at the open book, dazed and dazed.

At this time, someone approached him from behind, and a light breath blew past his ears.

"Do you like fairy tales?"

He Rong came back to his senses, the book almost fell to the ground, he hurriedly grabbed it.

"It's, it's okay."

He Rong was a little embarrassed, as if he was afraid that the memory in his mind would be seen through by the other party, talking about him from left to right.

"Brother Dong, there are fairy tales on your bookshelf. I thought you didn't read them."

Gu Lindong usually reads very profound philosophical or psychological books.

The man took the book from him.

"It's really not very read." He turned a few pages. "And this one... I don't like it very much."

He Rong was stunned.

Dislike... "Is it because of the ending?"

Everyone knows that this is a tragic love story of a mermaid princess who loves the prince unrequitedly and sacrifices all of herself to fulfill the other party.

Gu Lindong nodded.

"Yes and no."

He turned to a page, pointed to a few lines and said to He Rong.

"Mermaids can live up to three hundred years, but when they end their lives, they will turn into sea foam. But humans have an immortal soul. Even if the body decays, the soul will rise to the sky."

"After the mermaid princess saved the prince, she fell in love with humans. At the same time, she longed for an equally immortal soul. She naturally pinned her wish on the prince—【I put the happiness of my life in his hands. I will sacrifice everything to win him and an immortal soul.]”

"But the result,"

Gu Lindong closed the book.His eyes were penetrating and cold, like the thin layer of ice on the surface of the cold pool.

"She said that she longed for the prince's love, but in the end, without that mortal love, she could still obtain immortality. In the end, it was because of this martyrdom-like love that she was sublimated."

The man pointed it out sharply.

"Her love for the prince is a means to immortality, and just because of love, it adds a sense of poignancy and ceremony - all her beauty and immortality have achieved self-fulfillment. And the prince's love and Love or not doesn't matter to her at all."

For some reason, He Rong's legs began to tremble, and he tried his best to control his body.

"Has she thought about the future of the prince? Whenever he looks at the sea, he will think of a beautiful dumb girl who fell in love with him and then died overnight. Do you think he will be complacent about it, or sigh with regret? "

Gu Lindong's eyes were stained with sadness at some point.At this time, the wind outside the window was loud, obviously the summer rainstorm was approaching.

"No matter what, he will always remember her."

"The mermaid princess succeeded. She planted a curse called [love] on the prince. And he couldn't get rid of it until he died."

A bolt of lightning split the night, instantly illuminating He Rong's pale face.

Thunderstorms poured down.

***

He Rong curled up on the bed, tightly wrapping his trembling body with the sheets.

Why didn't I notice such a simple thing before?

Mr. Davis is not a person who will be arrested if he is slandered, not to mention that the servants in this house are all loyal. Who dismissed them as if overnight, leaving the whole manor helpless?

He Rong's heart tightened.

It was Mr. Davis himself.

The storm beat fiercely on the window, as if it brought He Rong back to the last stormy night on the desert island.

That's when he spotted the gun pointed at Mr Davies and jumped off the balcony with little thought.

Because for He Rong, this is just a game, even if he dies at gunpoint, the system will give him some basic points, there is no big loss.

So he seemed to have exchanged his life for Mr. Davis's safety, and he even felt a little bit of joy in his heart——【Look, I'm not as weak as you think, and I can protect you too. 】

But Mr. Davis didn't know this, he respected He Rong, loved him, and regarded him as an equal life with himself.

If it was just his uncle and outsiders who betrayed him, Mr. Davis must be able to find a way to deal with it.The accusations against him had never been known, and a little research would reveal the truth.What's more, he is still the head of the family, so he must have other powers to protect himself and fight back.

But he did nothing.In this way, he dismissed the servants and allowed his dignity to be stepped on by others.

Is it because of despair?

Watching He Rong die before his eyes.

Is it for confession?

He felt that it was his own fault that killed He Rong.

At that time, He Rong was satisfactorily counting the rewards of his dungeon, unaware of everything that happened to Mr. Davis.

He Rong covered his mouth, he felt a strong tinnitus and vomiting.

The jealousy of others and the betrayal of relatives may be the wedge that put Mr. Davis in danger.

But the real culprit who pushed him into hell was his self-intoxicated self-sacrifice.

Therefore, even if Mr. Davis becomes the current Gu Lindong, he will never forget what He Rong has done.

I left such a deep imprint on his soul, like a curse.

He Rong rushed into the bathroom at the end of the corridor, and vomited out all the dinner he cooked with Gu Lindong tonight.He knelt on the cold tiles, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he kept vomiting in the bone-biting cold.But even so, he couldn't clear up those endless guilt.

The movement in the bathroom woke up Gu Lindong who had already fallen asleep.When the man saw He Rong's distressed appearance, he immediately called an ambulance.

He Rong stopped him.

"...I'm fine...it's just my stomach hurts..."

He Rong lay weakly in front of the sink, his pale face and the man's face full of anxiety were reflected in the mirror.

"Shall we go to the hospital?"

He softly coaxed him like a child, and gently stroked He Rong's back over and over again, trying to make him feel better.

But the more he behaved like this, the more uncomfortable He Rong felt.

I have always accepted the other party's unconditional kindness in this way, but caused the other party to be hurt again and again.

He can even respond to this tenderness with one lie after another.

He Rong swallowed the guilt that surged out again, mustered up all his courage, and held Gu Lindong's hand.

"If one day... there is anything I can do for you, you must tell me..."

He Rong's trembling plea made the other party's eyes widen.

The man sighed and took him into his arms, continued to caress his back, coaxed him in a low voice, so that the trembling of the collapse subsided unknowingly.

He Rong just lay on the man's shoulder, letting himself fall asleep in exhaustion and sadness.In the foggy drowsiness, he seemed to hear what the other party said in a low voice, but his consciousness finally abandoned him.
