Kiss the moon

"Mr. Chen, you were so handsome just now." After entering the bookstore, Chen Qingxing walked around to the bar to help Gu Xingle make lemonade. Gu Xingle looked at him with his head propped on his hands, his eyes crookedly smiling.

"Is there? It's okay." Chen Qingxing raised his eyes and looked at him, with a small smile on his lips.

Seeing Chen Qingxing making lemonade smoothly and proficiently, Gu Xingle pointed to the menu on the wall and asked him, "Boss Chen, can you make dessert~"

"No, I'll make lemonade too, nothing else." After all, that's usually all he needs.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, if there is such a handsome dessert chef in the bookstore, the business will definitely be better."

"No! The bar is my battlefield, bosses, don't take my job!" Li Ranran, who was busy making ice cream, felt a career crisis and immediately interjected.

"Boss, the people at the door have almost dispersed, and the one who came to make trouble just now wants to leave in despair, saying that he may have remembered it wrong." Li Liao came in and asked the boss how to deal with it.

Chen Qingxing pointed to Gu Xingle, and said to Li Liao, "Ask your boss, I'm just a handyman."

"..." Li Liao thought to himself: "Could this be what Li Ranran said, fun?"

Gu Xingle took a sip of lemonade and thought for a while, "Well, ask who sent her here, and leave her contact information. Then tell her that there is surveillance at the door of the store, and we will save this video and reserve responsibility right."

"Who asked her to come? What do you mean?" Li Liao thought that this was for Pengci.

"If you cheat a book, you will pay ten dollars for a fake one. There is no need to make such a big fuss. Maybe it is the purpose to affect our reputation."

"Boss Gu is right, I'll ask her!" It must be the newly opened bookstore!Before the New Year's event, I deliberately learned from us, and the discounts and promotions were all compared, which is disgusting.Li Liao was very angry.

"Our boss Gu is really good." Chen Qingxing rubbed his head.

Gu Xingle blushed a little, "Come on, you know it too."

Chen Qingxing sent Gu Xingle back to school, avoided the crowd and hugged him, "Ah Xing, I have a dinner party tonight, I can't accompany you to eat, you have to eat well by yourself."

"Okay." Gu Xingle rubbed against his neck, scratching Chen Qingxing's hair, "Mr. Chen, are you because of me? Because of the book I mentioned earlier?"

Chen Qingxing knew what he was asking, and kissed the corner of his eyes, "Yes, I don't want my Ah Xing to see something that would make him unhappy in our bookstore." He kissed his forehead again, and added, " Not at all."

"Thank you." Gu Xingle raised his head to meet Chen Qingxing's gaze, "Also, I don't want his things."

"How do you..."

"I saw it when I took the blanket for my mother that day, and there was a corner exposed under the pillow that didn't sleep on my mother's bed."

"Auntie wants me to hand it over to you, but I haven't found a chance yet."

"Don't give it to me, let it go to you. If I want to return it to him but don't want to have anything to do with him, just let it go to you. We'll talk about it later."

Gu Xingle did not expect this to come so soon.

On Sunday, he was reading comics in the bookstore, and Chen Qingxing was reading next to him.

The phone on the table turned on, and Gu Xingle glanced at it.

[People familiar with the matter said that the writer Cha Yunyi died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage]

Gu Xingle was stunned for a second, holding his breath for a second, picked up the phone, hesitated for a while, and pressed the screen to turn it off, but didn't click on it.

Chen Qingxing habitually raised his head to look at the person opposite, and saw the expression he saw that night again.That night, Gu Xingle played "The Moon and Sixpence" in front of him.

Chen Qingxing reached out to hold Gu Xingle's hand, it was terribly cold and trembling.Chen Qingxing put down the book and led him to the innermost warehouse of the bookstore.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Xingle softened as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and Chen Qingxing reached out to support him in time so that he did not fall.

Chen Qingxing wrapped him in his arms, patted him gently on the back, and kept saying softly, "Good boy, it's okay" "I'm here, Ah Xing, I'm here".

Gu Xingle buried her head in Chen Qingxing's arms and breathed heavily, her eyes were hot, and tears seemed to come out of them, but they didn't fall for a long time.It wasn't until Gu Xingle calmed down and blinked that two tears flowed down his cheeks and fell on Chen Qingxing.

"Mr. Chen, that person, he seems to be dead."

Chen Qingxing was also startled, because he was still in good spirits not long ago.Chen Qingxing put his hand on the back of Gu Xingle's head, and pressed slightly harder, "Ah Xing."

"I'm fine, just take it easy. Maybe it's fake news. Aren't many public figures killed these days."

"Yeah. I'm here." Chen Qingxing didn't have a tissue on him, so he kissed the corner of his eyes to wipe away his tears.

But there is still more real news than fake news.

For several days in a row, Gu Xingle and Chen Qingxing secretly searched for relevant information on the Internet behind their backs, and they were actually sure.

Not long after, people in suits and briefcases went to the school to look for Gu Xingle.Gu Xingle called Chen Qingxing immediately, and waited for him to come before agreeing to find a place to talk with the person who came.

"Hello Mr. Gu, I'm Mr. Zha Yunyi's lawyer. Mr. Zha made a will before his death, and I'm here to confirm the details of the will with you."

Before he was alive... Gu Xingle's hand under the table was clenched tightly, and Chen Qingxing's warm hand immediately covered him, gently pinching his fingers to comfort him.

"Is he... dead?" Gu Xingle didn't realize his trembling voice.

The lawyer nodded and said in a businesslike manner, "Yes, Mr. Cha suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and passed away eight days ago."

"Dead... so dead?"

"Actually, Mr. Cha has been in poor health since the end of last year. After Mr. Cha discovered his physical condition, he made a will and dealt with the ownership of his property after his death. In the will, Mr. Cha put his name in City B. The five properties and all his deposits, funds, and stocks are handed over to you to inherit..."

"I don't need his stuff."

"Mr. Gu, if you are worried about Mr. Cha's family, I can tell you that they have no objection to this."

"why?"

"Ms. Cha said that these properties were earned by Mr. Cha himself, which is less than one-tenth of her pre-marital property. Neither she nor her daughter needs it."

"Nobody needs it here either."

"Mr. Cha said that you might not accept it so quickly. Before that, I will come to you from City B once a month."

"No need, you can either return it to his legal heir or donate it. I have no relatives or reasons with him, so there is no need to accept it."

"Mr. Cha's will indeed stated that if Mr. Gu is still unwilling to accept it after one year, he will donate the full amount in your name to the charity project for rural left-behind children in City C."

Hearing the words "left-behind children", Gu Xingle's hands trembled, "It's none of my business." After speaking, he dragged Chen Qingxing away.

After going out, Gu Xingle squatted on the edge of the flower bed and did not speak.Chen Qingxing took a candy from his pocket, opened it and fed it to him, and squatted beside the flower bed with him.

Gu Xingle's heart was in a mess.

There isn't a single fragment in his mind that carries fond memories of him and his father role.What are those fragments related to my father?

When he was four years old, his mother passed out at the door of his house because of anemia. He was so small that he really didn’t have the strength to move his mother. No one answered when he knocked on the door of the neighbor’s house. The phone at home was shut down and he couldn’t dial 120. He could only sit beside his mother and cry bitterly. Shouting "Dad" and "Dad" one after another.

He was ridiculed by his classmates for not having a father when he was in elementary school. After being bullied by them, he fought back, but was severely criticized by the father who was found by the other party. No one gave him the confidence to argue.

It is a parent-child sports meeting held in the school. The two-person tripod is a group of father and son, and a group of mother and daughter.Only him, my mother can't ask for leave to work in the factory, and my father won't come.The unknowing teacher asked him why the parents didn't come, and he could only say awkwardly that his mother was busy with work, and his father was also busy with work.

It was when he was blocked by eight or nine students in a small alley and beaten in a sewage pit in the first grade of junior high school. The leader grabbed his hair and pressed his face hard on the filthy ground, saying: "What are you dragging? And hid the money. Call me dad, and I will consider letting them show mercy to my son."

It was he who was chased by the urban management when he was setting up a stall with his mother. He was scratched by a steel bar and stayed in the hospital. The nurse asked his mother: "Where is the child's father? Let him come to bed with him occasionally. You are too tired to be alone." He looked After my mother heard this sentence, she quietly wiped her tears in the corner.

It was the first time Lin Yi inadvertently asked what his father's job was in high school, and said out of inferiority complex and a little vanity: "My father is a writer."That was the first time he didn't say "I don't have a dad".But afterwards, the shame and guilt of deceiving Lin Yi made him breathless, and the distress in Lin Yi's eyes when he confessed to Lin Yi really hurt him.

It was Lin Yi who was taken away suddenly, and when his first love died without a problem like this, he had a dream.In the dream, he asked a group of black shadows: "Do you feel so sad every time you lose a relationship? I thought boys would be more able to bear it."

……

Seeing that Gu Xingle's mood eased a bit, Chen Qingxing rubbed his head, took the hand he was holding and kissed the back of his hand, "Ah Xing, let's go shopping and cook at home, shall we?"

"Huh?" Came back to his senses, Gu Xingle switched the candy from the left mouth to the right, "Okay, it just so happens that my mother hasn't come back yet."

"It's getting late, go to my house, it's not far from your school."

"Okay, then I want to eat cumin potatoes, you make it for me." After adjusting, he didn't know what his mood was at the moment, Gu Xingle also wanted to divert his attention.

"Well, cook what you like, let's go."
