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

He was curious and eager to give it a try.

Anyway, this is a dream, everything is fake. Even if you take it off late, the worst thing you can do is wake up from the dream.

Calculated this way, the gains far outweigh the losses.

why not!

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed across Gu Cheng's eyes, but under the sky where the glimmer flashed, the dark ocean was surging.

"His Majesty."

Gu Cheng suddenly shouted, and Pei Mingxu turned his head to look at him casually, spitting out a confused hmm from his nose.

Gu Cheng raised his head slightly, his eyes were like stars, and he looked at Pei Mingxu with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you like me when you take care of me like this?"

As soon as these words came out, His Majesty, who could calmly deal with even the most urgent situations, had cracks on his face for the first time.

He seemed not to have expected this development. He was confused and worried about Gu Cheng's face, and said with complicated emotions: "Why do you think so? These are just the kindness shown by the monarch to his ministers."

"Oh." Gu Cheng accepted the answer calmly.

Pei Mingxu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but in his half-concealed eyes, he wondered if there was any further thinking about human nature.

But he had just relaxed for two seconds when he heard Gu Cheng's magnetic and pleasant voice ringing in his ears.

He took a step forward and asked seriously: "Then, Your Majesty, can I like you?"

Pei Mingxu raised his eyes suddenly, but met Gu Cheng's eyes with admiration and love.

Those eyes were bright and energetic, as clear as a blue lake, but at this moment, his figure was all printed on the lake.

Even though Gu Cheng in his previous life was emotionally blameless, he was mixed in a life of wealth and luxury, and inevitably had a touch of turbidity and sophistication.

But in this life, Gu Cheng grew up in a good and warm environment and did not suffer too much. His eyes were naturally clear and free of impurities.

Those peach blossom eyes were originally alluring, but now they are full of affection and sincerity. As soon as people see them, they can't help but feel a little more trusting.

Pei Mingxu is no exception now.

He is a mixed person, he has a friendship with Gu Cheng when he was young, and he also has a deep feeling for a ruler and his ministers over the years, so he rarely hesitated.

Pei Mingxu took a step back, turned around and came to the recess of the city wall, quietly looking at the cityscape in the distance.

Gu Cheng was not discouraged and slowly walked towards him and stood half a step away from him.

While recalling the past, he said: "Your Highness, I had a crush on a woman in my previous life. She was more than ten years older than me, but she had everything I could ask for, and I couldn't help but fall in love with her."

"I don't know what it feels like. I just feel that wherever she is, she is the center of attention and her whole body is shining."

"Different from people like me who have lived in the mud since childhood, she is a sunflower living in the sun, rain and dew. Even though I have changed my situation through my own efforts, I know that she and I are still different. ”

Gu Cheng laughed at himself: "Just like the first banquet I attended, as long as someone is willing to pay attention to me, I will be flattered and vaguely proud, as if I have finally integrated into the upper class society."

"But later I found out that those people in the circle were betting on me and treating me as a toy, teasing me for fun. What they wanted was to see my smug expression."

"And when the woman who was full of light in my eyes suddenly extended an olive branch to me one day, although I was confused and wary, I couldn't help but take it and find out."

"I really refuse such a radiant existence. Standing next to her, I feel that my gray body is also shrouded in light."

"As expected, I was teased again. She got close to me for my father and brother, and after getting the information she wanted from me, she ruthlessly forgot about me. And because of this information leak, I was demoted and dismissed. Pai, it took me a long time to come back to you."

Gu Cheng turned to look at him: "Your Highness, you are my light now."

Pei Mingxu stared at Gu Cheng silently, his eyes full of scrutiny and consideration, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

He must have understood what he meant by that last statement.

Pei Mingxu was already the monarch of the empire, and all he wanted from Gu Cheng was loyalty and ability.

Now, with just a slight nod from him, Gu Cheng can immediately become his die-hard loyalist.

And all he has to pay is to agree to let him pursue it.

This is really a transaction with great benefits and close to zero risk...

"..."

Pei Mingxu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Gu Cheng suddenly felt that the world had become quiet, and there was no sound in his ears.

Then he watched his body float out of the body, slowly rise, and fly to the sky.

Gu Cheng struggled, his limbs sliding in the air like swimming, trying to re-enter the body.

But things didn't go as planned, and Gu Cheng finally woke up.

At this time, the sky was bright, the open windows illuminated the tabletop golden, and the wind blew the gauze curtains, billowing like ocean waves.

Gu Cheng took a long breath and felt the pain in his head. He raised his hand to cover his eyes with the back of his hand and smiled bitterly.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the serious literature "Hera's Dream" that he had read in his childhood.

At the end of the chapter, it is written: Everything in the dream seemed to be in vain. When I woke up, I looked at the dim sky of the morning with a sense of loss. I really hoped that the day would never come.

Gu Cheng instantly sympathized with the author.

Yes, he really hoped not to wake up and hear His Highness's answer with his own ears.

After lying on the bed for a while, he got out of bed, washed up quickly, and put on sports clothes.

He thought exercise might clear his mind.

"Wow, which college is that senior? He's so handsome. I'm going to add my contact information!"

"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go, that's Senior Gu Cheng, you don't want your life!"

Two girls were whispering outside the campus track, but the volume was really loud.

Gu Cheng was running in the outer circle at a constant speed, leaning forward and swinging his arms rhythmically on both sides of his body, like a cheetah running on the grassland.

As he ran, the wind gently lifted the hem of his clothes, faintly revealing his thin waist.

The girl seemed very confused and asked, "Why can't Senior Gu Cheng go? The senior seems to be easy to get along with."

This was how he felt when he saw that Gu Cheng had stopped and was talking to an obviously old white-haired teacher.

Another girl said: "Senior Gu Cheng is naturally easy to get along with, but the other senior who pursues Senior Gu Cheng is a bit difficult to deal with."

"The one who is pursuing the senior...another senior?!"

The girl froze on the spot, and a door to a new world slowly opened in front of her eyes.

Gu Cheng chatted with the old professor for a while, then waved goodbye to him with regretful eyes.

Strictly speaking, Gu Chen has not fully graduated yet.

According to regulations, graduates who have found an internship unit one month before graduation but have not yet completed their studies have nearly a month to return to school to complete graduation-related matters.

Gu Cheng's other procedures have been completed, and he only needs to wait for his graduation certificate to be officially converted into a full-time employee.

Therefore, Gu Chengcai is still living in the apartment outside the school, waiting for everything to end and officially start a new stage of life.

However, when he came back from school and was about to enter the apartment building, he saw a familiar figure running towards him in the distance, and a long tone like an echo sounded in his ears.

"Brother~"
