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

What do you need to prepare for a good confession?

Appropriate clothing, beautifully packaged confession gifts, romantic and warm no-one scenes, and a sincere heart.

Gu Cheng is all ready.

Because the meeting between the two was private, Gu Cheng personally prepared a new secret location.

An abandoned castle on the surface, but luxuriously decorated underground.

Since it might be a monumental place, he took the protection of the place to the extreme.

Mimic protective layer, soundproof wall, air defense cover...

In short, he used countless rare materials and cutting-edge technology in this castle.

It took ten days to complete the decoration of the castle, and due to the unlucky timing of His Highness, His Highness did not have time to see him until one o'clock in the afternoon on the thirteenth day.

In the capital city of June, the wind is warm and the sunshine is not dazzling. Under the clear sky, it is full of vitality.

In order to maintain the dilapidated appearance of the castle, Gu Cheng directly set up a mimic field outside to maintain the exterior scene of the castle that he saw for the first time.

On the temporary trail, the leaves were helplessly swept forward by the strong wind after the speeding hover car passed by.

After a while, the roar of the engine disappeared. On the dark and low-key black suspension vehicle, Pei Mingxu released the simulation and strode into the castle.

He was wearing the uniform of the Capital Royal Academy. The platinum color matched his light blond hair color. He was as handsome and dazzling as Prince Charming in a fairy tale.

The first time Gu Cheng saw him, the restless feeling buried deep in his heart erupted again uncontrollably.

It seems that he has been deliberately dressed up, and his already three-dimensional facial features are more angular.

He was clearly standing there, but Gu Cheng felt that he was like the cold sunshine in winter, with a trace of laziness and indifference in his eyes.

"Today is not the day to meet." Pei Mingxu said calmly.

Gu Cheng nodded nervously, steadied his breathing, and sat across from him: "Well, I want to see you."

"see me?"

Pei Mingxu's expression suddenly became solemn. Apparently he still didn't understand what Gu Cheng meant. He just thought that he had to see him before he could tell him about some emergency.

Seeing this, Gu Cheng also prepared a response plan.

He spoke slowly and reported the few words he heard during the party, as well as the conjectures he made based on the memories of his previous life.

Pei Mingxu's face darkened: "The Qi family..."

Gu Cheng replied: "According to my investigation, the Qi family is not only engaged in human trafficking, but is also conducting illegal experiments on their new medicine. As for the name and efficacy of the medicine, we have not found out yet."

"Gu Cheng, you did a good job." Pei Mingxu praised.

Gu Cheng smiled slightly: "I just hope to help His Highness as much as possible."

"...In a few years, I will transfer you back to me."

Pei Mingxu clearly promised a future, but Gu Cheng was not happy at this time.

He doesn't know if he confesses now, whether there is any chance that this promise will be fulfilled.

At this moment, Pei Mingxu suddenly picked up the glass and took a sip of the strawberry juice in it.

The strawberry juice is cool and sweet, with the sweet flavor of fruit. Pei Mingxu raised his eyebrows slightly: "It tastes good."

Gu Cheng smiled happily: "Your Highness prepared honey water for me last time, and the strawberry juice this time is a courtesy."

At this stage, Pei Mingxu's demeanor became much more easy-going.

He chuckled: "You were late last time, but I'm not late now."

Gu Cheng hummed, maybe it was his gentle attitude that was so different from usual that made him feel lucky.

He suddenly stared into Pei Mingxu's eyes and said, "Your Highness, even if you are late, I will always wait for you."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in this space suddenly became a little ambiguous.

At this time, Pei Mingxu noticed that although the castle was underground, it was not dark. Instead, it was brightly lit, and the sunlight slanted into the room from the arched windows.

Dark red curtains were tied to both sides. On the spotless round table, several pale yellow perfume lilies were planted in bulging wide-mouth vases.

Its fragrance is rich and charming, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

They are often placed in his palace, and they can also be seen in this latest castle.

He likes all the furnishings, decorations, and even the various expensive ornaments here.

But this not only failed to make him feel at ease, but made him feel like he was being spied on.

All his preferences are controlled by others.

Just when he wanted to end the meeting early, Gu Cheng suddenly took out a palm-sized gift box.

Under Pei Mingxu's confused eyes, he slowly opened it.

There is a dark green ear clip inside.

It is just a simple plain ring, but it is cut and polished from an excellent piece of black jade.

The materials at the interface are also of the same color, which makes this gift look so natural.

"Your Highness, this is for you."

Gu Cheng pushed the red velvet gift box forward, but Pei Mingxu frowned more and more.

He noticed a hint of something bad, but it wasn't dangerous, but it was like a lump in his throat, making him not sure how to deal with it.

At this time, Gu Cheng's expression changed from deliberately gentle to serious, upright, and with a hint of nervous shyness.

He said calmly: "Your Highness, I like you. I wonder if Your Highness can give me a chance to pursue you?"

Gu Cheng glanced nervously at Pei Mingxu's expression.

He didn't say a word, but his eyes changed from calm at first to astonishment, and then he calmly waited for his next words.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, it seemed like he was going to fail.

But he still refused to give up easily and said bluntly: "Your Highness, I know it may be difficult for you to accept my feelings. I didn't have high hopes at first, but I still want to express my feelings before stepping into that Vanity Fair. come out."

"Actually, the most appropriate time is when I become your most important minister and become your indispensable right-hand man."

Gu Cheng looked at Pei Mingxu sincerely: "But we spent the best six years of our student days together. I also hope that this secret love will end in pure student days without any interest factors."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the castle.

Gu Cheng made his position clear, and the rest depends on how Pei Mingxu will respond.

During this period of silence, the world seemed to experience a seasonal cycle.

After a long time, Pei Mingxu clasped his hands and looked at him indifferently: "Gu Cheng, you are so presumptuous."

Gu Cheng suddenly became speechless and lowered his head. His long eyelashes fell down, leaving a shadow under his eyes.

He knew that his confession failed.

It was also his fault that he was too impatient and did not prepare His Highness mentally in advance.

But it doesn't matter, as he said, this time he had the intention of testing.

His purpose is to express his feelings without any regrets or interests.

But the next second, Pei Mingxu's words made his heart sink completely to the bottom.

Pei Mingxu's voice came from above his head: "I didn't know that my tolerance actually made you have such disgusting thoughts."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Cheng's heart suddenly throbbed.

He raised his head suddenly and looked at the man opposite him in surprise and bewilderment.

It turns out that His Highness actually finds my liking disgusting?

Gu Cheng felt that his ears were instantly deafened. He could only see his lips moving, and all the words that hurt his heart were automatically blocked by him.

He vaguely remembered the words Pei Mingxu left before leaving: "You don't have to go to the Ministry of Justice. I will personally order you to be transferred to the Cultural Affairs Bureau. You can take care of yourself."

The gate of the castle slammed shut, and Gu Cheng sat there slumped, like a sculpture, unable to move for a long time.

Since the order was given personally, there was no need to hide the relationship between them from others.

So he got promoted and became the director of the Ministry of Education as soon as he graduated, but he also lost His Highness's preference and all the tenderness that was unique to him.

Gu Cheng thought blankly, it turned out that those who stood up for him, suppressed the harsh words of other students, looked at each other with understanding, and occasionally had abnormal reactions when their fingers touched.

Even if you don't like rough confrontational sports with strong sense of collision, you will still pay attention to him because of him. When he was injured, he impulsively ignored the royal etiquette, stepped down from the stage and carried him to the infirmary openly, and accompanied him carefully until he woke up. Come……

All of this was due to his misunderstanding.

His Highness has never thought of exceeding the rules.
