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

Gu Cheng no longer sat in an upright posture, but with his head lowered, his elbows touching his knees, his hands cupped, and his thumbs stroking uneasily.

He said slowly: "In my last life, he was your majesty who I had always been loyal to. Although he had a bad reputation within the empire and was regarded as a cruel tyrant in the eyes of his ministers and nobles, he gave me a way to rise and let me know that, As long as I work hard enough and be smart enough, I can still be a great leader even if I am as low as dust.”

"To be honest, at first I was a little worried about whether he would kill the donkey. After all, when a meritorious official's power and reputation reach a certain level, the monarch is afraid that my merits will be greater than his own, and he will always think of ways to suppress or kill his ministers. Quickly."

"But in the end I discovered that my thoughts were too dirty, so I looked like a conspirator to everyone."

Gu Cheng concluded: "Your Majesty has never had that kind of idea. The reason why he demotes talents eclectically is because his goal is the stars and the sea."

"After the bloody end of the civil strife in the country, the country's talents are withering, and some reactionary forces have been watching from the sidelines. If he wants to achieve his goal, he cannot be picky."

"As for the master of great achievements that I am worried about, he longs for more talents like me. At worst, he will fight abroad and make us king and emperor. He can also add a few more allies, and then fight abroad again in his lifetime. .....”

Having said this, Gu Cheng's expression softened a bit: "Even if my ending is not good, I am lucky to be able to assist such a monarch in my lifetime."

After a moment, he pinched the palm of his hand hard again, and the slightest pain really stimulated his divergent thinking.

He said: "But when I opened my eyes again, I was reborn."

Perhaps it was because Gu Cheng knew that he was in a dream that was full of privacy and only stored in his brain and memory, so he told his biggest secret very straightforwardly.

"I think it's ridiculous. Those novels that I once regarded as jokes and spices have become reality."

"I thought I was dreaming at first, but with my mother's annoying prenatal care day after day, I finally confirmed this fact."

He seemed to think of the bleating sheep that had been lingering in his ears all those years, and smiled brightly: "I met a mother who was completely different from the one in my previous life investigation. She gave me a warm and wealthy childhood, allowing me to avoid Troubled by sickness and hunger.”

"And she is very interesting. She is someone..." Gu Cheng thought carefully for a long time and said, "She is someone who even I can't figure out."

"Her wonderful ideas and her extremely tolerant and caring attitude towards me gave me the courage to live a new life."

At this time, Gu Cheng thought of the days when he had endured hunger, the past when he was aggrieved, and how he had been bullied. But in just a moment, they all turned into clouds rising or falling lightly, turning into a trail on his way forward. Rows of scattered footprints.

“I also met teachers who treated me like their own grandson.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Teacher Vic and said, "Teacher, our school has not continued to decline in this life, nor has it suffered any disaster. It is now thriving and developing."

Vic looked at Gu Cheng lovingly and nodded slightly. His slightly cloudy eyes seemed to see the world outside the dream through Gu Cheng's body.

"I know, you did a good job."

For some reason, when Gu Cheng heard this, his eyes suddenly felt a little sore. He nodded silently and hummed.

After a long time, he continued: "With the help of my teachers, I successfully returned to Capital Star and became a classmate of His Highness."

Gu Cheng smiled slightly: "Teacher, you must not know that His Majesty was not scary at all when he was a child. He still had breast fat and was just a cute and cool kid."

"After getting in touch with him, I also discovered that His Majesty is actually cold-hearted and warm-hearted. He may seem difficult to get along with, but once you get along with him, you will find that he is not only polite but also very attentive."

Gu Cheng concluded: "He is a tsundere who needs someone to stroke his hair."

He chuckled softly: "I am very happy and honored to be a classmate with His Highness."

"After all, when I first came into contact with His Majesty, he was already a qualified young king. As long as he doesn't want to show his true side, no one can easily detect him."

"And in this life, not only did I have contact with him from an early age, but I also started working for him in school."

Gu Cheng looked into the teacher's eyes and smiled: "Teacher, do you think this is a true portrayal of a person who is 22 years old and has worked for 12 years?"

"Then what are you worried about?"

Teacher Vic said: "If you like him, just go after him?"

"You have so many advantages, the deep friendship we grew up with, the perfect opportunity to be close to the water, you are both single, not to mention you are pretty good-looking, why don't you give it a try?"

"But he is the future His Majesty. If he fails, I may not even be friends with him." Gu Cheng argued eagerly.

But a shrewd light flashed in Vic's eyes: "Then you don't want to be a friend, take a step back and continue to be a loyal subordinate."

"what?"

Regarding this statement, Gu Cheng's thinking suddenly got stuck and he was stunned on the spot.
