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

While Pei Mingxu was actively preparing to meet his parents, the Gu family was in a gloomy mood.

After all, the mother and son have supported each other for many years and have never been apart for more than a month.

Although we can meet online, we never see people in person, which makes us feel uneasy.

A corner of the inner sea.

The sea breeze blew loudly, making the tall silver star leaves rustle.

In the shadow under the tree, Gu Pan was wearing a white dress, holding her head and staring at the tea in the cup that was gradually filling.

"Mother, the water is full."

Suddenly, Liu Qi came to her side without knowing when, quickly holding one side of the teapot, holding her hand, and placing the teapot aside.

Gu Pan suddenly came back to his senses after being reminded by him.

After seeing who the visitor was, he looked down at the light yellow tea soup overflowing from the bottom of the porcelain plate, turned his head and smiled sheepishly at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi didn't say much, she just turned around and sat beside Gu Pan, looking in the same direction as her.

“Are you worried about submission?”

Hearing this, Gu Pan kept lifting the teacup in his hand, wiping off the water on the side of the cup, and then carefully poured out the water on the bottom of the tea tray and wiped it dry.

After sitting down for a set of procedures, Liu Qi heard Gu Pan spit out the word "um" from his nasal cavity.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qi realized how pale and powerless language was in the face of the cold reality.

But in a second thought, he suddenly remembered the news he found not long ago.

Liu Qi organized her words and said, "Don't worry, there is someone taking care of him."

Hearing this, Gu Pan raised his eyes in confusion, frowned, and seemed to understand something. He smiled comfortingly at Liu Qi, reached out and touched his head, and said:

"Good boy, thank you for your comfort."

Faced with Gu Pan's sudden snoring, Liu Qi felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the direction of their understanding.

But this can’t be blamed on Gu Pan.

Under Pei Mingxu's deliberate avoidance, Gu Pan always thought that his child was on the way to work and was isolated in an unfamiliar place due to the sudden global martial law.

I spent more than a month alone in that small room.

After all, looking at the layout of the room, it doesn't look like Gu Cheng's style at all.

Moreover, when she asked about the specific location, Gu Cheng was always vague.

This made Gu Pan even more worried.

However, now Liu Qi told her that there was someone taking care of Gu Cheng, which made people suspect that this was a white lie made up by Liu Qi to reassure her.

Liu Qi turned her body sideways, avoiding Gu Pan's ravaging palms, and said seriously: "Mother, it's true."

In order to prevent her from making bad associations, Liu Qi directly showed what he investigated in front of Gu Pan.

Gu Pan didn't care at first, but then Liu Qi saw the whole process of her expression changing from surprise, to puzzlement, to sudden realization.

After reading it, the sadness in Gu Pan's brows instantly dissipated, and he was even in the mood to comment on the screenshot he took.

"This is a good shot. Although the perspective is from a bird's eye view and it's quite far away. You can only vaguely see the silhouettes of the two of them, but the light, the atmosphere, and the setting are so beautiful."

After expressing her emotions, she got closer and continued to slide forward, looking at each piece carefully.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, Mingxu would still get together with Chengcheng."

"Do you know anything about them?"

Liu Qi turned her head to look at Gu Pan in surprise, and Gu Pan nodded matter-of-factly.

She nodded the corners of her eyes and smiled like flowers in bloom: "I have a pair of eyes that are good at detecting CP."

Hearing this, Liu Qi's mouth twitched.

Gu Pan picked up the tea cup, took a sip and then put it down. Looking at the horizon of the inland sea, he said: "A long time ago, I discovered that there was something fishy between the two of them."

She turned to look at Liu Qi and said, "Calculating the time, it should be when Chengcheng was in the first grade of high school."

"Chengcheng made an appointment with Mingxu to come to his house as a guest. There was no warning at all. He just made an appointment and came."

"You know, Mingxu's status prevents him from having normal social relationships, not to mention this kind of drop-in behavior, which they think is even more rude."

Liu Qi nodded. Even if he and other members of his clan, who had gotten along very well with each other over the years, went to other people's territory without informing each other, and were maimed by others, no one would say anything about the master's family. They would only account for it. The more casual one has no sense of propriety.

"As soon as they came back, they went upstairs and went to Gu Cheng's e-sports room."

"I saw that there was a space in the place, and I was playing with it. I saw that Chengcheng liked it, and he is usually the most hard-working and self-disciplined child, so I gave it to him."

"I thought the first person he brought into that room would be Eugene or Ke Jin, but unexpectedly it was Mingxu."

Speaking of this, Gu Pan raised his chin slightly and said quite proudly: "I discovered something was wrong between them at that time. When I went up to deliver the fruit plate, they actually abandoned the game cabin and sat cross-legged on the floor mat with their helmets on. Play games.”

She clicked her tongue twice and said, "I talked to them, and although they ignored me, their attention was still on each other."

Speaking of this, Gu Pan suddenly gestured with joy and said: "You know, it's that kind of feeling. Although it seems restrained and distant, in fact, you are looking at the other person with your peripheral vision and will not miss any of the other person's words. , do you understand?”

Liu Qi: "You should understand."

Gu Pan obviously only wanted an answer from him and did not explore whether he really understood or not.

She continued: "However, these two little nerds may not have noticed the abnormality in themselves, but I am not in a hurry, they still have a long time."

At this time, she suddenly asked Liu Qi: "Xiao Qi, do you know how long they have been together?"

Liu Qi frowned and shook her head: "I don't know."

I haven't checked it, so I don't know.

But Liu Qi already had a vague suspicion in her mind.

"It's okay if you don't know. I'm just curious and want to ask."

"So, what do you think about them living together?"

Just when the last conversation stopped, Liu Qi started another one.

The content is still very exciting.

Gu Pan was so shocked that he didn't even react.

"Living together? What cohabitation? Are they living together?"

Suddenly, Gu Pan's mind was spinning, and he suddenly recalled the strange environment Gu Cheng was in now, what he saw, the records of Gu Cheng and Pei Mingxu in a hospital, and the global martial law this time.

When these factors were combined, a terrifying conjecture arose in Gu Pan's mind.

She held Liu Qi's hand in panic and asked, "It was something happened at Mingxu's place that led to this martial law, right?"

In order to avoid causing greater panic, the news only reported the fact of the Zerg invasion, and more details were not disclosed publicly.

It is only circulated among a few insiders.

Since neither Gu Cheng nor Ke Jin took the initiative to inform them, Gu Pan would naturally not know the inside story.

Now, Liu Qi's move was originally to make Gu Pan relax, but she didn't expect that Gu Pan would accidentally discover the truth.
