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

The sun shines through the thin clouds and falls on James' face.

The ends of his bright red eyes were stained with tears. Because he bit too hard, James' lips turned white and red, and there were even traces of blood.

It was as if his whole body was about to break if the wind blew gently.

Gu Cheng held his breath unconsciously and sat up straight in an instant. His handsome eyebrows were full of seriousness: "I have never thought of you so much."

"I know."

James smiled miserably: "Even if you don't like me as a partner, you will still maintain my dignity when others laugh at me."

He looked at Gu Cheng with tearful eyes: "So, brother, you should have been more ruthless and cut off my thoughts at the beginning, instead of resolutely rejecting me after I have deep feelings for you."

"I was..."

Gu Cheng wanted to explain something, but James interrupted him directly: "I know that you are doing it for my face and are reluctant to make me sad, so you are tactful enough."

"But, but..." His emotions suddenly became excited: "But I just like you and I can't forget you. What should I do?"

"Do you know how painful it was for me when you asked me to accept that there was someone else in your heart, but I still gritted my teeth and accepted it, and even shamelessly let you use this as an excuse to completely forget about that person in your heart. "

"Wow, brother, because of you, I almost don't recognize myself anymore. Brother, what should I do?"

Tears fell from his eyes, and his temples were completely wet this time.

But his tears were still raging and gushing, making Gu Cheng's slightly clenched hands completely relax.

He looked at this person who had become inferior and cowardly because he liked him, and was begging for mercy without any dignity in front of him. It seemed that a small hole had been drilled out in the self-protection barrier in his heart.

Gradually, spiderweb-like cracks filled the barrier.

James was completely broken as he cried.

Maybe he should let go of that delusion.

That person is the moon in the sky, an existence that cannot be touched even if he reaches a high position.

Why hang on a tree now that you know the outcome is doomed?

At this moment, the heartbeat of that summer had completely turned into a blur. What now occupied his sight was the passionate heart of this sincere young man.

"Stop crying." He took out a tissue and carefully wiped away the flood of tears.

His tone was gentler than ever before.

So gentle that James thought it was a dream.

"Stop crying, give me some time, I need to seriously think about our relationship."

James' voice was a little hoarse from crying, but his voice was closer to that of a young man, and now he was twitching when he spoke, making him look inexplicably childish.

"Really, really?"

"...Really."

Gu Cheng agreed, but succeeded in making James burst into laughter.

"Brother, you can't imitate me!"

James noticed the change in Gu Cheng's attitude and tried to show a little temper.

Gu Cheng had no intention of learning more, so he nodded in agreement.

James blinked and didn't come to his senses until he was holding a cup of warm milk tea in his hand.

He looked at Gu Cheng with bright eyes, grabbed the armrests of the chair with his hands and asked, "Brother, you really promised me just now, right?"

Gu Cheng said calmly: "I always do what I say."

"Brother~"

James wanted to get closer to his shoulder and rub him to express his affection.

After all, when the young master is at home, the whole family can't stand him acting like a spoiled child.

The speed of complying with requests will also be faster.

Now, he also wants to use this trick on Gu Cheng.

But Gu Cheng didn't take this trick. When he came over, he stretched out his index finger and touched his forehead, using some force to straighten his crooked sitting posture.

"Drink quickly, if it's later they will come out looking for us."

Gu Cheng found an excuse, and James pursed his lips, but still said oh, and turned to taste the milk tea that was not sweet but full of milk.

He turned his head in surprise: "Brother, do you still remember my habits?"

"Yeah, with milk but no sugar."

If Gu Cheng wants to be interested in someone, he can make that person so moved that he becomes his confidant.

On the one hand, he has a good memory and is good at observation. The key is that he is also very good at summarizing.

Therefore, he can always surprise others and easily win the love of others.

After receiving treatment that was completely different from before, James was so happy that he almost flew up.

So after the party, he ran back to Huaxi Pavilion and bought the hidden white porcelain cup.

But these are all things for later.

Gu Cheng knew nothing about this, so he entered the venue and chatted with his senior colleagues again.

But inevitably, after drinking a few more glasses of wine, my mind became a little confused again.

Seeing that it was almost done, Adams said, "I'll have a drink with you."

Knowing the elegance of the sound, no one dared to let him, a congressman, drink with him, so they hurried up to toast, saying nice words, trying to get rid of the topic.

Until the party came to an end, no one dared to take a step forward.

On the contrary, Gu Cheng's evaluation was raised to a higher level.

I originally thought that Gu Cheng was just a small character brought in by Adams under the entrustment of others. Although the power behind him was gradually growing, everyone present believed that their backgrounds were no worse than his.

So take it seriously, but not much.

But Adams was willing to step in to protect it, and the nature of this immediately changed.

Even though Congressman Adams only holds an undistinguished seat in the House of Representatives, he is still a member who can directly participate in voting and is a decision-maker.

Compared with the members of the "execution team" like them, they are always on a higher level.

After several leaders made some more efforts, the meeting officially ended.

Adams was still surrounded by a group of people, but he looked at Gu Cheng who was at the back from a distance.

"Xiao Cheng."

When Gu Cheng suddenly stood up, he was still a little dizzy. He suddenly heard Adams calling him and hurriedly stepped forward.

Everyone automatically made way for him, allowing him to come to Adams unimpeded.

"Uncle Adams, are you looking for me?" Gu Cheng asked with a slight smile.

Adams paused before saying, "Do you need me to send someone to take you home?"

Gu Cheng pretended to be flattered and waved his hand: "No, no, I drove here."

Adams didn't bother, nodded, and once again left the venue surrounded by everyone.

Gu Cheng looked at Adams' back, seemed to have figured something out, lowered his eyes and smiled.

Not long after Adams left, James quietly approached from behind and said, "Brother, what are you laughing at? If you want to meet the congressman, I can also introduce him to you."

His brother is one of them, and he ranks higher than Adams!

"I don't need your help." Gu Cheng added, "But I still want to thank you."

When James heard this, a sweet smile appeared on his flat lips: "You're welcome, brother, you don't have to be polite to me."

In order to prevent James from saying more shocking words without hesitation on this occasion, Gu Cheng just nodded, and then left the venue smoothly with a slightly slanted figure.

James waved his hand towards his uncle, and trotted to keep up with Gu Cheng under his uncle's helpless and heartbroken gaze.
