Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

When Gu Cheng returned home, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night.

Halfway through the journey, thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and fine jade beads fell down like threads, splashing water on the hood.

The floating car extinguished the last ray of light in the garage. Gu Cheng walked sideways out of it, with a dark black coat on his left hand. His forehead hair seemed to be wet by the inadvertent raindrops, and strands fell in front of his eyes.

Even the soft mask that fits the skin is soaked at the edges.

Gu Cheng frowned slightly, but didn't bother to care. He took the internal elevator directly to the second floor.

The warm yellow light turned on automatically when he entered the room.

Gu Cheng slowly took off his mask, and the white mist floated in the air.

As he walked forward, his clothes fell on the ground one by one, lying crookedly.

Soon after, the sound of gurgling water came from the bathroom. It wasn't until about half an hour later that Gu Cheng simply walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

Water droplets dripped along his jawline and landed on his strong chest. He did not go into the room next door that was filled with warm breeze to dry the water droplets on his body. He just wiped it casually with a towel.

When there were no obvious drops of water falling, he stopped, picked up the optical computer on the table, and quickly edited a message and sent it to Ke Jin.

[Gu Cheng: Good night. 】

After sending this message, he didn't care about anything else, put on his bathrobe, put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and sat in front of the terminal again.

Although there is still half a month before he officially starts work, his work in this half month is not light.

Even though this department of the office is not eye-catching, it plays the role of uploading and distributing information. It is one of the few places where you can get access to all the first-hand information over the years as soon as you enter.

On the screen was a list of all members of the entire Department of Justice, both staff and non-staff.

It records in detail the departments in charge of these people, as well as their personal promotion achievements, the forces they belong to, etc.

Gu Cheng skillfully memorized and classified the list.

Then, he suddenly saw a name on the internship list.

The broken thoughts in his mouth turned into normal sound decibels.

"James Lawrence, the second grandson of the energy giant Lawrence family...sexuality, male..."

If Gu Chengneng felt the most troublesome, it was James.

Most of his suitors are young, beautiful, and powerful daughters of noble families.

Some of them like his appearance and knowledge and want to have a sweet campus love with him, while others propose a powerful exchange of interests and want to support his rise to success.

But among them, James, a man who is male and loves men, stands out.

If it was just an unusual sexual orientation, it would be fine. His pursuit was bold and passionate. Compared to a girl who stopped losing money in time after being cold for a while, James had been pestering him for three full years.

Now I have given up on living a peaceful life and come to the grassroots level, euphemistically called chasing love.

Gu Cheng paused for a few seconds and then stopped paying attention.

there is always a solution to a problem.

After leaving school, there were so many temptations, and he didn't believe that James could continue this unrequited love.

drop!

The optical brain lights up automatically and a message pops up.

[Ke Jin: Is this all you can say? What I want is your explanation. 】

[Ke Jin: It’s not external, it’s your true inner thoughts. 】

The continuous beeping sound interrupted his thoughts, and Gu Cheng had to respond to the message first.

But before he could finish typing, a message popped up.

He hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked into the bedroom.

After closing the door and sitting on the bedside, he slowly connected to the communication.

"Why did you take so long to answer?"

Ke Jin half-closed his eyes, with a touch of anger on his face.

Warm yellow light fell from the top of his head, forming a conspicuous band of light on his dark green hair.

"Just woke up." Gu Cheng yawned sleepily, as if to confirm this reason.

Ke Jin noticed his slightly sticky black hair with sharp eyes, and snorted: "You're lying, your hair is still wet."

"Well..., you discovered it."

Gu Cheng looked at him with a smile on his face and tilted his head slightly, sending him the impact of his beauty without any concealment.

When Ke Jin saw this face, most of the anger in his heart dissipated instantly.

"Don't laugh! Speak up!"

He seemed to be angry because he easily defeated the attack, and turned to glare at Gu Cheng again.

Gu Cheng quickly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble, okay?"

Compared to Pei Mingxu, the immediate boss, Gu Cheng and Ke Jin are like besties.

Although their identities have undergone earth-shaking changes, they still have their childhood friendship, and they talk very casually in private.

"Okay." Ke Jin's tone changed quickly, but suddenly she stared directly at him: "But you must tell me whether this is what you are willing to do?"

"I volunteered." Gu Cheng said solemnly.

Ke Jin snorted again. Although he didn't ask any more questions, he turned his head and became sulky.

Seeing this, Gu Cheng hesitated for a few seconds, and then gave a frustrated smile: "I heard that you can see the green aurora at Buni's top-floor garden restaurant. I wonder if His Highness the Prince is interested in watching it with me?"

Bunnie is the capital of Bruce Star, and it is also a wonder city built by the Bruce family, which is soaked in money. It costs a lot of money to build.

It brought a large amount of star coins and population to the Bruce family.

"Are you going to spend most of this half month traveling and save a few days to come and have dinner with me?" Ke Jin said slightly mockingly.

Gu Cheng didn't feel embarrassed. He spread his hands and said, "Just wait until I am dispatched to the edge star area in the east."

"You!" Ke Jin frowned and his breathing became faster.

After a long while, he calmed down his breathing and glanced at Gu Cheng fiercely: "How can you be like this, apologizing and delaying payment?"

"You don't want it?" Gu Cheng came closer and asked.

Ke Jin seemed to have seen some ferocious beast. He leaned back slightly, turned his head and said, "...Yes."

At this time, Gu Chengcai breathed a sigh of relief.

He said a few more words of comfort and then hung up the communication.

"Finally it's settled."

The light screen went out, and his body couldn't help but fall back. A soft, lightly scented quilt wrapped around his body, and he suddenly felt sleepy.

At this time, Gu Cheng didn't care about his hair that was not yet dry. He turned over the quilt and fell into sleep.

Until noon, the hot sun hung in the sky, evaporating the rain from last night.

He stood up slowly, manually opened the curtains, and took a deep breath.

Gu Cheng turned around and went downstairs. Just halfway, he heard Gu Pan's silver bell-like laughter.

"...Really, Chengcheng never mentioned this to me..."

"Hey, Chengcheng, you're up, come on, your classmates are here to see you."

Gu Cheng's eyes fell on the handsome young man who was sitting upright with no chain on his body.

"...James."
