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

The bell rang for a while before the other party answered.

Unlike Gu Cheng, Pei Mingxu was running in the gym at this time.

He took off the complicated clothes, leaving only a simple loose vest and knee-length sports shorts.

Her blond hair was slightly messy, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

He obviously answered in a hurry, and his voice was slightly breathy when he spoke.

"Are you going to sleep late today?"

Pei Mingxu asked familiarly, obviously knowing his living habits very well.

Gu Cheng stared at him for a while and then said: "Your Highness, there is no point in doing this. You are just wasting your time."

Pei Mingxu leaned against the wall, his tall figure casting a long shadow in the light.

After a long while, he smiled slightly, and his green eyes contained no malice, but were as vast as a deep pool: "I think it's just meaningful."

Pei Mingxu took the initiative to tear off the fake skin of being considerate and showed his domineering and strength in front of him without any concealment.

"I didn't interfere with anything of yours, nor did I cause you any losses. I even provided you with a lot of conveniences, right?"

"No, you disturbed my normal routine."

Pei Mingxu shrugged: "There is nothing we can do about it. The two people need to break something to get along."

"Pei Mingxu, how long do you plan to spend with me?"

Gu Cheng called him by his first name, but Pei Mingxu smiled.

He said with curiosity in his eyes: "This is the first time I heard you call my name."

Gu Cheng didn't reply, still staring at him, waiting for his answer.

Pei Mingxu put his hands down, strode out of the gym, and walked towards the bedroom.

For some reason, the voltage in the corridor he walked through was unstable, and the lights flickered on and off.

At this time, Pei Mingxu's long voice came from Gu Cheng's ear: "Of course it will take until you agree."

Gu Cheng was silent, and during this time, Pei Mingxu had returned to the bedroom.

He raised his hand and took down a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass, and poured a glass for Gu Cheng opposite.

The rims of the cups collided, making a crisp and sweet knocking sound.

Pei Mingxu took a sip, raised his glass and leaned against the window edge, looking at the starry sky and said: "You said I was wasting my time, don't you think so?"

His eyebrows were solemn and he said calmly: "You still have me in your heart."

"From the first time you gave in, you couldn't hide it anymore."

"We are all adults. You don't understand that once you retreat, the bottom line will be relaxed step by step."

"I can also guarantee that it is only a matter of time before you promise me."

Suddenly, he lowered his voice and stared at Gu Cheng: "Gu Cheng, since we know the final outcome, why don't we simply skip this wasted time?"

"Wouldn't this time be better spent on our in-depth understanding?"

After Pei Mingxu finished speaking, he continued to drink calmly and let Gu Cheng think.

As for Gu Cheng, he was really confused.

He knew that Pei Mingxu was being sophistical, but what Pei Mingxu said was not unreasonable.

He couldn't lie to himself.

Besides, instead of fighting with him here, it would be better to just start trying.

They are all people who know how to stop losses in time. I believe that if they feel that it is inappropriate, they will get out as soon as possible.

After thinking clearly, Gu Cheng will not hesitate.

He said: "How do you want to try it?"

"I won't consider getting married for now." Gu Cheng added.

Gu Cheng finally relaxed, but Pei Mingxu suddenly choked when he finished speaking.

For a while, the scene was very embarrassing.

But this cough reduced their tense atmosphere a lot.

However, when faced with Gu Cheng's question, Pei Mingxu didn't know how to speak.

How to try?

Regarding this issue, Pei Mingxu really hasn't planned it carefully.

He had only been on blind dates, so he had to look up information about what the normal process of dating was like.

However, Pei Mingxu's face remained calm.

He said gentlemanly: "Everything will be according to your wishes."

Gu Cheng frowned, feeling extremely confused when faced with Pei Mingxu's sudden humility.

He stared carefully into Pei Mingxu's eyes, and after observing his unconscious dodge, he suddenly realized.

"You don't just say you don't know what to do, do you?"

Pei Mingxu coughed and did not refute.

In response, Gu Cheng suddenly burst into laughter.

I don't know whether to praise Pei Mingxu for his great momentum and his ability to blow things up even if he has no bottom, or whether to laugh at his sudden impulsiveness when he talks nonsense.

Suddenly, Gu Cheng felt that his weakened momentum had returned a little.

However, he also knew that today's decision was too hasty, so he decided to give them some time to think about it carefully.

"Since you haven't thought about it, let's talk about it the next day."

"Good night."

After these two words fell, Gu Cheng hung up the communication and lay on the bed again.

After muting the optical brain prompts, Gu Cheng immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his lips.

He had a good night here, but Pei Mingxu was sleepless all night.

Like Gu Cheng, who was leaning on the bedside, he flipped through their past chat records over and over again, with an unquenchable smile in his eyes.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, he got out of bed in high spirits and started working on strategies all night long.

It was not until dawn that he stopped what he was doing when the servant knocked on the door and continued working as usual.

On the sightseeing boat, Liu Qi was keenly aware of Gu Cheng's happy mood and asked, "What good thing happened to you?"

Gu Cheng smiled and remained silent.

Liu Qi understood: "It seems that the matter has not been completed yet."

"What's not done yet? Is it a game? Do you need my advice?"

Gu Pan always kept in mind that she still had a position as a game consultant. After seeing that her suggestions were adopted, even though it was not entirely her wisdom, she felt honored.

"It's not necessary for the time being." Gu Cheng said, "I can do this independently."

Gu Pan didn't think much, nodded and went to get the small cake.

But Liu Qi raised her eyebrows. Seeing that the sadness in Gu Cheng's eyebrows was no longer there, some suspicion in her heart seemed to be confirmed.

However, he had no intention of interfering.

On the first day he boarded the ship, he discovered that the patrols near the door of their room were particularly frequent. It seemed that someone had deliberately arranged it.

The ship's response to their various needs was also extremely fast.

If you want to book a private room, it happens to be available. Whatever you want to eat, you can always get it quickly.

In a sense, their journey has been under the strict supervision of someone.

However, he was not disgusted.

The protection you get is in vain, but don’t want it in vain.

After another day of wandering around the alien world, I saw the increasingly rich player faces on Tree Vine Star, as well as the more frequent and brutal battles.

This small map published on the other world has obviously played a magical role in some circles in the Shuvine Empire.

"Sure enough, there was only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname."

"They fight as soon as they come online, and they go offline after the fight. They really deserve the nickname of their fighting empire."
