Proud Gu Mingyu

It was raining when Zhou Cheng came out of the detention center. He was walking on the muddy path with a black umbrella. His mother could not participate in Zhou Zhi's case because he was a related person, so he ran to the prosecutor general's office to beg It took a long time before they were allowed to meet Zhou Zhi during their arraignment.

Zhou Zhi haggarded a lot. He was originally tall, thin and fair-looking, with carefully trimmed hair and always had a wicked smile on his face. Now, in just half a year, his whole person seems to have completely changed. His face was full of stubble, and he looked more than ten years older than his actual age.As soon as he saw Zhou Chengcheng crying loudly to ask Zhou Cheng to save him, he also said that he would never dare to think of Gu Mingyu again and asked Zhou Cheng to beg Gu Mingyu.

The prison guard knocked on the bars with a baton to calm him down. Zhou Cheng found that he was looking at the batons with fear in his eyes. One can imagine how he was treated inside.

Zhou Cheng was in so much pain that he didn't know what to say to Zhou Zhi. It was useless to beg Gu Mingyu when things got to this point, not to mention that he hadn't seen Mingyu for a long time.

Suddenly there was a thunder outside, which frightened Zhou Zhi to the ground. Because of his unstable mental state, the interrogation process was interrupted. When the prison guards took Zhou Zhi away, he kept struggling, making a whining sound that did not sound like a human voice, and clenched his hands tightly. Buckling the iron tables and chairs, Zhou Cheng couldn't bear to look any longer, turned and left the interrogation room.

He stood under the eaves and stared at the lightning that tore the sky in a daze.

"I've seen many criminals," said Old Shao, the man who brought Zhou Chenglai stood beside him, putting his hands on his shoulders, "This kind of criminals are not uncommon. Pretending to be like this—mostly out of fear, everyone thinks they are awesome before they go to prison, but only after they get in do they realize that there are always villains who are worse than villains.”

"Uncle Shao——" Zhou Cheng lived in the compound near the procuratorate when he was a child, and often went to the office building of the procuratorate to play. Vaccination, I insisted on seeing him."

Old Shao nodded, "You will take the college entrance examination this year. How is your review going? Which school do you want to go to?"

"Uncle Shao knows that my grades are neither high nor low, anyway - as long as I take the Beijing exam." Zhou Cheng looked up at the raindrops falling from the sky, "Whether it's a junior college or a bachelor's degree, as long as it's from Beijing."

"Oh? So obsessed with the capital?"

Because Gu Mingyu once said that he was going to be admitted to Peking University - he just wanted to be closer to him.

When Lao Shao asked Zhou Cheng why he wanted to see Zhou Zhi, Zhou Cheng didn't speak, just shook his head, and left the detention center under an umbrella in the heavy rain.

Zhou Cheng knew what he meant—but anyone who had read the file would not sympathize with Zhou Zhi. As a prosecutor, Uncle Shao looked at Zhou Zhi with cold eyes. He didn't want Zhou Cheng to sympathize with Zhou Zhi too much, even though they were relatives .

It was raining heavily, and Zhou Cheng walked very slowly. The road in the detention center was full of potholes, and Zhou Cheng accidentally stepped into a puddle.Looking at his expressionless face reflected in the yellow muddy water, Zhou Cheng felt bored and uncomfortable.

Gu Mingyu asked him if he had thought about those people hurt by Zhou Zhi—to be honest, he hadn't before, whether he was indifferent or deliberately avoiding him.At that time, he only thought that Zhou Zhi was his cousin, and he was close to him no matter what. Maybe he was being misled by others or it was a moment of brain fever. Ask for a light sentence.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Cheng didn't dare to understand the experiences of those victims, so he said that to Gu Mingyu.Gu Mingyu's reaction gave him a heavy blow. When he looked at him with the eyes of a stranger, Zhou Chengcai began to think, was he wrong?

Due to the bad impact of this case involving minors, it was not reported in the society. There were only some gossip outside that spread outrageously, and the common people paid more attention to the corruption case that was drawn out.Zhou Chengcheng ran to find Wen Bin, and listened to the story of how he and Gu Mingyu found someone, and how they persuaded each other to tell the truth.After hearing Wen Bin's description, Zhou Cheng also said a word.

When he saw Zhou Zhi, he wanted to remind himself that some mistakes were not worthy of forgiveness.

When he got home, the door next door was locked, Zhou Cheng didn't know Gu Mingyu's current situation.Gu Mingyu is such a decisive person, they have many friends in common, but no one dares to tell him about Gu Mingyu's situation, because Gu Mingyu won't allow it.

Looking at the familiar window on the second floor, Zhou Cheng felt something stuck in his heart, unable to swallow or spit it out.

It was raining heavily, and Zhou Cheng was wet all over his body. When he took off his shoes, the water poured out of them could raise goldfish. In the living room, he saw his father Zhou Ming standing in front of the window in the living room looking at the high wall in the backyard.

"Dad." Zhou Cheng called him, but he didn't get a response, but he didn't care, and went straight to the second floor to get a towel to dry his hair and change his clothes.

Perhaps Zhou Cheng's evasive temperament was inherited from Zhou Ming. It was different from the violent reaction of the Gu family. The three of them were all pretending that everything was normal, but the father became more silent every day, and the mother came home later every day, and Zhou Cheng...

Sometimes Zhou Cheng would think, what would Gu Mingyu do, he would spread the matter apart and tear it up in front of the two adults, Gu Mingyu was never cowardly.

But Zhou Cheng couldn't do it, even though he knew that his parents hadn't spoken for a long time, even if they slept on the same bed and sat at the same dining table to eat, even if they didn't communicate with each other, even if the whole house was cold and oppressive.Zhou Cheng didn't dare either, he was afraid of losing his parents, and when he had already lost Gu Mingyu, it meant that he would lose everything.

When Zhou Cheng went downstairs to the kitchen to wash the rice and cook, he took out the vegetables in the refrigerator, washed them and cut them up—every time his mother came home late, his father would not cook, as if silently protesting.Zhou Cheng had no choice but to do it himself. Fortunately, Gu Mingyu was good at frying dishes. Occasionally, when the mood came, he would go to the vegetable market to buy some favorite food and cook it for himself at home. Zhou Cheng followed him to help, cutting and washing vegetables was also a model. There are samples.

After finishing the preparations, it was not too late to see the time, so Zhou Cheng put down the kitchen knife in his hand and walked to the living room.

Zhou Ming still did not change his actions just now, because it was raining and the room was very dark. Zhou Cheng touched the light switch and asked him, "Dad, what are you looking at for so long?"

The living room was brightly illuminated, and Zhou Cheng soon discovered that the photo album spread out on the coffee table was the one he had hidden deep in the closet.

In an instant, Zhou Cheng fell into an ice cellar.

"I'm looking at that wall." Zhou Ming's tone didn't fluctuate, "That wall is well built."

Zhou Cheng bit his lower lip, and hesitantly reached for the photo album.

Zhou Ming saw his movement in the reflection of the window, and said coldly, "Don't move."

Zhou Cheng just stood there, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Just put it there, let your mother take a look when your mother comes back, and see the good things you two have done!" Zhou Ming was already furious when he said the last sentence.

Zhou Cheng closed his eyes, and couldn't help but regret that he didn't hide deeply enough.Maybe it was the first time he took a good-looking photo with a camera. Zhou Cheng has always been interested in photography. When he was in high school, he bought a Canon with the money he saved.At that time, he hadn't broken up with Gu Mingyu, so of course his model would only be Gu Mingyu.

On the way home from school, Gu Mingyu rides a bicycle; during a spring outing, Gu Mingyu climbs a mountain; under the sun, Gu Mingyu laughs; under the street lamp, Gu Mingyu's elongated shadow.Zhou Cheng's photos are all of Gu Mingyu, originally it was nothing, everyone knows that Gu Mingyu and Zhou Cheng are inseparable.But besides those photos, there are many photos of Zhou Cheng secretly kissing Gu Mingyu while he was asleep, and photos of Gu Mingyu taking a shower in the bathroom—whatever the lust.

When Gu Mingyu broke up with him, he warned him to burn those photos, but Zhou Cheng was reluctant, so he found a box with a lock and put it at the bottom of the cabinet.

After the initial panic, Zhou Cheng looked at the pried open lock, anger rose in his heart, and he replied stiffly: "Even if I did something wrong, it doesn't mean that Dad, you can rummage through my things at will. What's more, I don't think I'm wrong!"

I don't know what Zhou Cheng said that angered Zhou Ming, his face was livid, he turned his head and walked up to Zhou Cheng quickly, raised his hand and slapped him with a "slap".

Zhou Cheng was stunned by the beating. Zhou Ming had a good temper. Chen Lingling taught him how to be naughty when he was a child. Zhou Ming never beat him when he grew up. Zhou Cheng never thought that his father with a good temper would have an outburst one day.

"Say it again!" Zhou Ming was trembling with anger. He waved his arms excitedly, almost knocking off his glasses.

"Are you right? Could it be I who was wrong?! I taught you to be like this? Do you know how people outside will think of you and me when this kind of thing is spread?!"

Zhou Ming's words obviously meant something, not just for Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng didn't dare to refute even though he was dissatisfied, especially when he saw his mother Chen Lingling standing at the door of the living room looking at them.

Zhou Ming stared straight at Chen Lingling, watching her come in from the door, pick up the photo album on the coffee table and flip through it from beginning to end.

Then she closed the photo album and put it back in place, and said lightly: "I thought it was a big deal, Xiao Cheng has stopped talking to Ming Yu for a long time, and he will naturally forget it when we are far away, besides, young people don't make mistakes. , there is no need to be too harsh."

As she spoke, she took Zhou Cheng's hand and led him to the kitchen, "Punish Xiao Cheng to help mom cook today, and mom won't see you for a long time after you go to college."

Zhou Cheng was numbly being led by his mother, and couldn't help turning his head to look at his father, only to see Zhou Ming suddenly stepped forward and overturned the coffee table with an angry expression on his face.

The coffee table was smashed to the ground, the glass shattered and splashed, and the debris on it fell all over the floor. Zhou Ming still couldn't let go of his hatred, and went to the small table beside him and swept all the thermos, teapot and cover bowls on the ground. When a half-broken glass was about to be thrown on the TV, Zhou Cheng saw his petite mother suddenly shouted: "Zhou Ming, try smashing another one!"

Zhou Ming stopped his movements, his eyes full of anger were fixed on the ground, and he didn't even look at Chen Lingling.

"I bought the TV, I bought the coffee table and sofa, and I built this house. Have you made more than half of my money outside these years? What right do you have to go crazy here? If you are really capable, you can file for divorce Ah, anyway, I'm not afraid anymore, I have a house, money and a job, and I'll be promoted to be section chief soon, what do you Zhou Ming have? You even scolded me to involve your son, Zhou Ming, you're a coward!"

"How dare you say how your section chief got here?!"

"You don't care how I got here, it's better than you doing nothing!"

"Isn't it just to help people plan Gu Huaili's success! The vice president's bed is easy to climb? Lao Gu, a countryman with no background, can't satisfy your appetite. Their family still thinks that Lao Gu did something wrong. , In fact, it was you who deliberately seduced me! You—and you!" Zhou Ming's eyes were red, pointing at Chen Lingling and then Zhou Cheng, "You are all good! A scheming father, a perverted homosexual, and his crush's son , how could I have a wife and children like you?!"

Seeing his mother's silence, Zhou Cheng only felt that the sky was dark, he shook off his mother's hand in disbelief, and ran out under the eyes of his parents.

Zhou Cheng only felt that something collapsed in his heart, and his anger and despair almost overwhelmed him. He ran desperately, and the rain hit his face like slaps, which made him feel ashamed. He ran aimlessly, wishing he could never stop.

He opened his mouth and let out roars on the dark path. He wanted to see Gu Mingyu more than ever, but he knew that he had no position, just like what Xu Gang scolded outside the door that day, it was his mother who killed him, everything was wrong. His mother's fault.

And he enjoys the benefits brought by his mother's wrong things. Everything he gets is based on the grief of Gu's family. No one knows better than Zhou Cheng the harm to Mingyu caused by his parents' quarrel. How deep it is, he only knows now that he also has a part in hurting Mingyu...
