boss, i mean it
Chapter 76
Yu Cheng: "Don't mess around!"
At this moment, an agreed line came from the side weakly: "I'm sorry..."
It was the voice of Mama Elephant—Mama Elephant was mighty and unyielding, she should appear on the stage according to the schedule, and she appeared without fear of bullets!
Yu Cheng was shocked, and he dodged to block the opening of the box.Unexpectedly, his sudden movement made his father misunderstand.Yu Cheng's father's eyes were as big as ping-pong balls, as if to say, "You kid still dare to fight back?!", and directly punched someone to shoot him.Yu Cheng had his aunt before and after the soup, his pupils dilated in fright, and he shouted: "No..."
—In an instant, time stood still.
After a long time, Yu Cheng couldn't remember how this scene happened.
Anyway, the hot soup of Yu Chengxin didn't spill out; his fist didn't hit him; even the surrounding sounds disappeared.
And Yu Cheng's father, together with Yu Cheng, and the four elephants who have the established lines and the order of entering the scene collectively appeared in shock—because Yu Cheng's arms were tightly bound, and the person held by the princess in his arms was exactly Father Yu Cheng, who was still furious before the light and shadow stopped, with explosive attack power.
The word "no" that Yu Cheng uttered floated in the air, but the scene changed to - he lowered his head and stared at the father in his arms, who looked helpless but kept glaring back at him.Yu Cheng finished his sentence relying on inertia: "...to make trouble! Are you annoying!" Then he petrified.
Father Yu Cheng: "..."
All the performers: "..."
I don't know when the waiter came back with a few bowls of seasoning: "..."
A few people just stood there in such a daze for an unknown amount of time, but it was Yu Cheng's father who came to his senses first and struggled in Yu Cheng's arms, but when he couldn't move, he said in a hoarse voice, "Let go!"
Yu Cheng hurriedly put him on the sofa stool, but Hun'er hadn't come back yet, and he was numb and embarrassing in place.
Yu Chengpa glanced at him with a complicated expression, sat down by himself, and seamlessly continued the topic before the play: "When did you find out?"
Yu Cheng: "...Huh? Oh!...I knew it when I was a child."
Father Yu Cheng: "With whom?"
Yu Cheng: "You mean a partner? No, I'm single."
By this time, Yu Cheng, one of the spectators and one of the leading actors, didn't understand how things had taken such a weird turn.While Yu Cheng was responding to his father's questions, he was also wary of whether this was the calm before another storm.
Unexpectedly, his father sat quietly for a few seconds, bent down to pick up the lost folder and put it on the table, raised his eyes: "Sit down!"
Yu Cheng sat down.His father opened the folder again, slowly flipping backwards from the first page, and rushed to the waiter who stood aside without warning: "Where's the wine I want?"
The waiter shook, put on a smiling face and put the bowls on the table one by one: "This is the tune you want..."
Father Yu Cheng: "Wine!" The waiter turned and ran away.
The father and son at the table fell silent.Yu Cheng looked around. Fortunately, this restaurant retained the noisy nature of a traditional restaurant. Except for the elephant family who secretly dragged his mother back to the next table, they did not disturb more people.
After sitting for a while, Yu Cheng's father said again: "Is it cured well?"
Yu Chengsong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a disease at all. Hospitals that dare to 'cure' can complain and report, no matter how big or small they are."
Yu Cheng's father: "Report? You are terrible!" Yu Cheng raised his eyes, Yu Cheng's father stopped talking, pressed his eyes full of displeasure, and asked after a while, "You didn't have sex with others, how do you know you are?"
Yu Cheng: "Of course I know. Don't you also know that you are 'not'?"
Yu Cheng's father didn't answer, and silently yelled outside for a long time with no expression on his face: "Wine!!!"
The waiter hurried over, jingled the cups and opened the bottle caps.Yu Cheng took the wine bottle, his eyes hinted at him to withdraw it, and poured it for his father himself.
The light yellow liquid gradually rose in the glass, and Yu Cheng heard his father say: "I'll give you 3000 million, you get married first."
Yu Cheng: "Pfft!"
He put down the wine bottle and looked up, saw his father's serious face, quickly suppressed his smile, shook his head: "It can't be done."
Yu Cheng's father gave him a hard look, and shook his wine glass at him: "You won't get any of that property!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank.
Yu Cheng was relieved for a moment, and raised his glass in the same way: "When you are too old to move my sister, just let me raise you!"
Yu Cheng's father didn't respond, his glass of cold beer was dry, he put down the glass, picked up his handbag, got up and left.Yu Cheng didn't move, he walked two steps and came back by himself, took the envelope that Yu Cheng handed him at first, thought for a while and then took Yu Cheng's folder, without raising his eyes, he sneered: "The folder! You have I can make a PowerPoint presentation!" and left.
Yu Cheng looked at his back with a smile and said, "When I have a partner, I'll show it to you!"
Yu Cheng's father went out the gate and went downstairs without looking back.
During the process of Yu Cheng's "restoration of the case" relying on his mouth, Gu Tianjiao drove the car into the community and said, "Is that considered a success?"
Yu Cheng: "It's done." He said happily, "Elephant thinks my method is feasible, so he moved it away, and made a few modifications to bring his parents to Lao Gao's house, and he settled Gao's father and mother in one fell swoop!"
Gu Tianjiao's attention was not diverted, and he said sharply: "Don't rush to claim credit—not only did you not tell me about this in time, but you also told your father that you are single?"
Yu Cheng came back to his senses: "Coming out is a matter between me and them! It's already complicated enough. If you say you are single, the matter will be over on that day; if you want to mention your existence to him at the same time, don't bother to death! Elephant and Lao Gao are lessons learned from the past. Elephant’s parents are quite reasonable! If I want to change my father, he will think, his son has become bad, who brought it up? If there is a partner, he must be the one who brought it up! The bad guy is fascinated His son's heart... huh? Didn't you pull me in when you came out of the closet?...Hey! You know what you're struggling with!"
Gu Tianjiao smiled and looked at him appreciatively.
Yu Cheng followed with a smile, smiling and feeling sad: "It's... my father... You know, the son admires the most is the father, and the one who wants to surpass him the most. When he was young, he beat me so hard! I I really want to grow up and beat him up! But that day, I made him... I, I felt, really, it wasn't like..."
Gu Tianjiao parked the car and comforted: "Most people will go through this process, not to mention, you surpass him in physical strength!"
Embarrassed, Yu Cheng lost all his grief and burst out laughing.
The two went upstairs hand in hand, Gu Tianjiao pretended to be serious: "Also, the 3000 million, you should actually take it!"
Yu Cheng: "Yes, I regret it now too!"
Gu Tianjiao: "..."
Yu Chengle: "My dad should really come and see today's wedding CP—Peng Yu Xiaojing and the others...Gay is so weak compared to them!"
Gu Tianjiao opened the door, and Mei Gancai stood quietly by the door, looking at the two of them obediently.Gu Tianjiao squatted down and scratched the hair behind its ears, and said with a smile: "Human nature is complicated, but it's simple in the end—they and we, don't they just pursue a unity of body and mind, be recognized by those they care about, and a soul mate?"
Yu Cheng nodded slowly, and suddenly thought: "Brother, when did you show your cards?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Huh?"
Yu Cheng: "It definitely won't be very early, otherwise, according to the situation of Xiaojing and the others, there is no need to wait until now to get married."
Gu Tianjiao: "At the end of December last year, what?"
Yu Cheng's eyes narrowed: "Based on this calculation, you said that the house in Crystal City is to 'repay' Xiaojing for helping you come out with our parents...is it actually a 'deal'?"
Gu Tianjiao paused for a moment, then smiled acquiescingly and went upstairs.
Yu Chengbaba followed him: "But at that time, all you had left was the apartment, and I hurt you before you gave it away, and ran away! Why did you still give it away? If your parents don't accept it, You didn't win on the company side, so you really lost everything... At that time, did you think this kind of result was worth it?"
Gu Tianjiao turned back, and said lightly: "Last summer when we went shopping—that was when we burned incense for your father—you were annoyed at the time, saying that those famous brands were 'tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for hundreds of dollars of treatment', do you remember?"
Yu Cheng: "Yeah."
Gu Tianjiao: "Later, you moved to Treasure Hunting Flying Sky, and when you got the things you bought, you either returned them, or reluctantly kept them but never touched them again. Why?"
Yu Cheng sneered: "Because... online shopping is similar, the price of 1000 yuan can be exchanged for dozens of yuan at most, and the treatment of 100 yuan."
Gu Tianjiao: "The price/performance ratio is higher, but you can't accept things that are essentially tens or hundreds."
Yu Cheng clenched his fists excitedly: "So now I'm shopping overseas and cut the 'price' in half! Come on Xiaogu, what do you think?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Your dramatic way of shopping made me understand. This is how the world is. If you pursue a hundred, you have to spend a thousand; if you pursue a thousand, you have to spend tens of thousands." He stopped and looked at Yu Yu with a smile. Cheng said, "I pursue the best, and of course I have to pay the most."
Yu Cheng: "...I am the 'best'?"
The two went up to the third floor. In the night sky, the sky was full of stars outside the glass roof, and the flowers and plants were verdant on the terrace.
Gu Tianjiao took water from the watering can to water the flowers.He looked up at the sky and said with a relaxed smile: "For me it is. And you are worth paying more, so as long as I have you, I will earn."
Yu Cheng's eyes became hot, and he rushed forward full of joy, hugging Gu Tianjiao tightly from behind.Gu Tianjiao held his hand, and the skin of the two of them was tightly pressed together, and the body temperature passed each other.Yu Cheng inhaled pure oxygen, buried his face in Gu Tianjiao's shoulders and rubbed against him, and was speechless again.
Time will never go back, but some time can be meaningful; life continues with troubles, big and small, but there may be unexpected gains hidden in the troubles.Seven emotions, six desires, eight bitternesses and eight degrees of bitterness, the taste of life emerges endlessly, making people more and more attached to life.
Yu Cheng pulled a group of people to study for a long time and came to the conclusion that the mission of the Angry Man International Department is still inseparable from the "discount business".
He was overjoyed when he made a good plan—Gu Tianjiao once asked him "what do you want" countless times, and he also thought that before he became a "high-salary executive", he had to find a path that suits him and has a professional focus. Let him go up the stairs.
Well now, he loves big brands by nature, especially big brands that offer discounts for new models in the season; he loves management in his career path; in his career experience, he is most interested in network marketing.
Combining the above points, he also stepped on the intersection of "new trend of online shopping preference", "new direction of group development" and "new situation of department establishment" - oops!Yu Cheng felt that his ears and eyes were clear for a moment, and the sun was shining on his head!
After listening to his report, Sa Yinghua nodded with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Very good, hurry up and run!" He paused, "The new department will arrange a director to hold. But especially important things, or appointments Wine or something, I welcome you at any time."
The new director arrives as soon as he talks, and Yu Cheng enters a new round of tough battles with his superiors.Just when he was exhausted and full of ambitions preparing for Angry Man International, two surprises came unexpectedly.
On the morning of the fourth Saturday in July, the courier rang the doorbell in the rainstorm.Gu Tianjiao went downstairs in response, and came back with a smile on his face, saving a express mail: "It's from the girl!"
Yu Cheng hurriedly crawled out of the bed, watching Gu Tianjiao curiously as he tore open the wet bag, and took out a book and a greeting card with letter paper inside.
Gu Tianjiao unfolded the greeting card first, and Yu Cheng poked his head: "Hey, can you write letters in English?"
In the greeting card, there are some flowers and plants, birds and smiling faces, surrounded by simple words: Imissyou! Iloveyou! HappyBirthday&EveryDay!
The two were happy, and then unfolded the letter paper, this time it was a combination of Chinese and English.However, unlike the greeting card, the words in the letter allow the two adults to read the words, and at the same time suppress the "smile" that is exclusive to parents to their children.
Tingting's handwriting is jerky, but it can be seen that she is very serious.She wrote:
"Dear dad and uncle, we haven't seen each other for another 18 days, how are you and Meigancai? I'm on summer vacation now, every day is very happy, and I miss you very much. Next month is dad's birthday, mom said, At the end of this month, she and my uncle will take my brother and me to travel to many places, and we won’t be able to come back. So I would like to wish my dad a happy birthday! The book I sent with this letter is a birthday present, I hope my dad likes it!
"PS. I know you two are schwul. It doesn't matter. I love both of you forever.
"PPS. I will be ten years old in October next year. My mother said that children have the right to choose whether to live with their father or their mother when they reach the age of ten. I hope that the tenth birthday will come soon!"
At the end, I drew a little smiley face with braids.
Gu Tianjiao: "'schwul'?"
Yu Cheng took the mobile phone, looked at Gu Tianjiao apprehensively after checking it, and at the same time, Gu Tianjiao opened the book Tingting sent.
Yu Cheng followed suit.The book is not brand new, it can be seen that it is often read, and it can be seen that the little girl loves it very much.The two leaned together and flipped through the thin book.The word above just recognizes "Papa", but the picture is clear-a little boy with his father, and his father's same-sex partner, the happy life of three people.
Yu Cheng typed letters into the tablet according to the cover, and Gu Tianjiao flipped through the book again: "German?"
Yu Cheng looked at Du Niang's results and turned around: "This is it, it's called "Daddy's Roommate". 'schwul' means gay, a German story about teaching children to understand and tolerate gays." He stayed for a while, "She knows...but Does she really understand?"
Gu Tianjiao frowned slightly, but didn't answer.The two silently read the translated version, and then read Tingting's letter again.Yu Cheng took the courier bag that Gu Tianjiao put aside, and compared the writing on both sides: "Is this courier from Tingting's mother?"
Gu Tianjiao nodded.
Yu Cheng thought: "Her mother must have bought the book, and only her mother understands German. She also told her 'legal rights of ten-year-old children'-that means..." He jumped up, "Wow! Tingting’s mother figured it out? Is she likely to come back next year?”
Gu Tianjiao was led by him first, his eyes glowed.Yu Cheng laughed wildly: "It's true, if you are educated, you can't control it! He wrote letters and studied the Fa..." He grabbed Gu Tianjiao, "Then can we persuade her mother now to let the little girl come back sooner?" ?”
Gu Tianjiao thought for a while: "Probably not."
But he immediately called Tingting's mother.The two talked for less than a minute, and Tingting's mother hung up in a hurry.Gu Tianjiao smiled wryly at Yu Cheng and shook his head: "She said that she took Tingting out to play the book last year. In Germany, the little girl put it in a stack of books for her to buy. She didn't pay attention at the time. Then, didn't you teach her how to read?" Check the online dictionary?"
Yu Cheng nodded suspiciously.
Gu Tianjiao: "The school also taught children how to look up pinyin. Tingting's mother said that the little girl figured out this book by herself. After buying it, she hid it in Tibet, and her mother accidentally saw it a year later."
Yu Cheng: "...Then, what does she think?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Obviously, she counted the visiting day at the end of this month and my birthday together, and took the girl on a long trip..." He smiled helplessly, "The little girl understands the relationship between us conceptually, her mother Reasonable consideration and acquiescence, but it does not mean that she agrees."
Yu Cheng: "Then she is ten years old..."
Gu Tianjiao: "Tingting's mother didn't answer my question at all."
Yu Cheng collapsed, and the two were silent for a while, Gu Tianjiao said with relief: "No matter what, the girl has us in her heart. Maybe next year, or maybe when she grows up, she will come back one day. Just like you, family members Not one will be left behind!"
Yu Cheng thought, that's right, even if they can't reunite in the near future, the little girl took the initiative to point to the bright side of their connection with Tingting.He was happy again, and the topic with Gu Tianjiao could not be separated from this all day long.
Gu Tianjiao packed the letter and greeting card in a file bag until he was going to walk the dog in the evening.Said: "Treasure it, wait for me."
Yu Cheng followed curiously: "Hiding? Where? I want to see it too!"
The two entered the study room, Gu Tianjiao used the small steps as a cushion, opened the top shelf of the west bookshelf, and a safe appeared.
Yu Cheng: "Hey, don't you keep your valuables by the bedside?"
Gu Tianjiao smiled: "No one can look it up! The password is your birthday, fingerprints are also fine, you can record it yourself." He opened the cabinet, and it was almost full of documents.With a flash of inspiration, Yu Cheng pushed Gu Tianjiao away, climbed up to search for it, and quickly found the transparent file bag containing his handwritten paper.
Yu Cheng took it out to read, and it was really that diary entry—his agreement with Xie Zhixing at that time and his innermost feelings were written down in it with all his heart and soul.
Yu Cheng smiled embarrassingly, fanned the file bag and asked, "When will you return this to me?"
Gu Tianjiao: "It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back now, let me make a souvenir!"
He took it away, and put Tingting's letters and books in it as they were.Yu Cheng gave up, and his eyes were attracted by an old cardboard box outside the safe: "What is this?"
Gu Tianjiao locked the cabinet: "Xiaojing gave it to me, saying it was my old stuff. They found it when they moved to a new house and sorted out the sundries. I haven't had time to look at it yet!"
Yu Cheng quickly carried the carton down and put it on the carpet.The box is sealed, but the seal is also very old.There are four large characters written crookedly in black pen on it, "Mystery of Darkness".
Yu Cheng: "It's so romantic, Xiaojing wrote it?"
Gu Tianjiao came over with a paper cutter and tore it apart twice: "Who else is there besides him! How could he take my things?"
When the box was opened, there was a musty smell, and there was everything in it.Some yellowed books, a small stack of dusty cassettes, Yu Cheng put the cassettes out one by one: "Grasshopper, Wenner, Leslie Cheung..." He laughed, "There is a sign of time travel!"
In addition, there are repeaters, headsets, rolled up "three good students" certificates, grade books, and even elementary school Chinese textbooks and homework books from N years ago.
Gu Tianjiao: "I don't know when he made this at all, he was so small back then... haven't these been sold long ago?"
Yu Cheng raised his head: "Actually, he has always admired you in his heart, right?"
Gu Tianjiao pointed to the "Darkness" on the box lid: "Did you see it?"
Yu Cheng said with a serious face: "Later, love gave birth to hatred. Now that I have got out of the entanglement of love and hate, I will confess to you in this way."
Gu Tianjiao: "..."
Yu Cheng kept his hands open, flipping through a diary that was unbelievably soft with horizontal lines.The date was "1987", and his eyes widened: "Wow, archaeological documents! At that time, I was still learning to breastfeed, and you already knew how to read and write? ... and pinyin, my God!"
This diary looks like homework assigned by the teacher, and the word "good" is commented in red pen at the end.The difference is that some "good" are written big and chic, while others are written small and reluctantly.
Yu Cheng: "The more you practice, the better your calligraphy is, and you've even learned the strokes! Uh..." He stopped suddenly, and for some reason, a sentence popped up in his head, "The strokes here are sharp but not sharp, and the energy is hidden in the soft shape"—— —It seems to be...a scene in his dream?What the hell!
Gu Tianjiao leaned over to take a look, smiled and got up, brought a basin of water back, and wiped the dust on the box with a towel one by one.Obviously, "Dark Mystery" is a channel for Yu Cheng to glimpse into Gu Tianjiao's childhood, and for Gu Tianjiao, it is a precious memory carrier.
Every time he picked up something, there was a look of reminiscence on his brows.Infected by him, Yu Cheng also calmed down, reading the diary slowly.
The diary of Gu Xiaojiao's children's shoes is filled with one page each.But the words are big enough, obviously making up the numbers.Looking at the content again, it’s all innocuous: either it’s a realistic internal contradiction, what brother eats his book, brother wets the bed, etc.; Little Lei Feng" or something.Yu Cheng laughed while watching, taking personal revenge on Gu Tianjiao for the same character a year ago; but watching and watching, he seemed to gradually understand the reason why Xiao Jing collected these things.
However, the good times didn't last long. After the first half of the book, Gu Xiaojiao's content and style changed.With a turn of his pen, he moved from the bustling world to the cold sky, mostly saying "the moon is so full tonight, what is the little rabbit under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree doing?" A kind of fairy tale myth and nonsense.
Yu Cheng flipped through more than a dozen pages, dumbfounding: "What is this writing about?"
Gu Tianjiao looked at it, and recalled shamelessly and calmly: "At that time, writing essays was the most troublesome, and I had to hold back when writing back. Who knew that when we were in the second grade, the teacher insisted that we keep a diary! The children didn't know many words, and life was difficult. It's monotonous, how can you write three hundred characters every day for new stuff!... Xiao Mao, have you never used it?"
Yu Cheng shook his head: "You should have known there was another trick..."
Before he finished speaking, a small black and white photo slipped from the gap in the diary to Yu Cheng's palm.He picked it up and almost sprayed it!
There are two children in the photo, one looks five or six years old, and she is a girl in a skirt.She knelt on her left knee and squatted reservedly, holding another in her arms. She was standing and looking silly at the camera, visually observing a baby who was just about to walk.Both of them had a red spot on their foreheads, wore lipstick, and each wore a long string of fake pearl necklaces.Roughly, they look like a pair of sisters, carefully identify and speculate... aren't they the young and ignorant Gu Tianjiao and Xiaojing?And it looks more and more like it!
It turns out that Gu Tianjiao still has such a dark history... Yu Cheng stared at the photo, his brain cells burst into tears from laughter, but when the inspiration came, he froze tightly.He took a long breath, and asked Gu Tianjiao with [-]% depth, "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"
Gu Tianjiao sorted things out and recycled them: "What's the matter? About the diary or something else?"
Yu Cheng deliberately said slowly: "Anything."
Gu Tianjiao thought for a while, and his aura weakened: "There is one thing... I plan to resign from Twelve Angry Men after next year's fiscal year, and then as a partner of Xiaojing's company, I will do my best..."
Yu Cheng: "... Huh?!"
Gu Tianjiao was puzzled: "It's not this? What is it?"
Yu Cheng: "You, you, you, make this clear first!"
Gu Tianjiao looked at him: "Nearly half of their company's initial investment is my money—Xiao Jing doesn't care, but you can tell Xiao Yu's character, he is not the kind of person who can accept free gifts with peace of mind. So they insisted on me as a Shareholders enjoy 35% of their company's dividends and a veto right to the company's operating decisions. Now I hope I can really join and lead them to make the cake bigger."
Yu Cheng couldn't figure it out: "The benefactor is the beneficiary, why... you are the vice president of Twelve Angry Men!"
Gu Tianjiao smiled: "We discussed it - 'I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail'. Lao Wu can't avoid things, and I am the same as him in this respect. It has always been my goal to own a company that I founded. Wish. Xiaojing’s company has the right timing, conditions, and people, so of course I accept it. I didn’t say anything before because I was afraid you would be worried..." Yu Cheng was speechless, and Gu Tianjiao clasped his fists at him, "It will definitely not happen again in the future!"
Yu Cheng couldn't help laughing: "...Which line?"
Gu Tianjiao came over with his mobile phone: "An APP, which is used to recycle old things at home." He clicked on a light green interface, "This is it, it's called 'Chu Gong Chu De', you can download it too. It turns out that Xiao Jing is doing takeout Internet, but entered the door late, there are many competitors, the initial investment is large, and it is thankless. Seeing that your father's business is good last year, I wondered, those obsolete old furniture, including good old clothes and old appliances Kind of like, what to do——I suggest that they transfer."
Yu Cheng took his mobile phone to the app store and looked for it: "Five-star app, awesome brother!" After downloading and opening, the app functions are focused, ordering is convenient, and the vision is clean and generous.He played for a while, then looked back at Gu Tianjiao, "Your company just collects junk!"
Gu Tianjiao laughed: "Don't underestimate this, we have opened up the recycling link, and the cumulative downloads of the APP have exceeded [-]. Hangzhou has already achieved profitability, and we plan to spread out in Beijing and Shanghai immediately—many benefactors have come to talk to me with money. It's about the A round." Yu Cheng was surprised, and Gu Tianjiao continued, "But I plan to raise it again, and talk about a big one at a time. Anyway, I still have money. This promotion, the company rewarded [-] shares. Group It will definitely be launched this year, and after the lock-up period next year, I can squeeze out one-third of the water and it will be enough to transfuse blood for a year."
Yu Cheng was a little erratic, and suddenly thought: "Will it violate the integrity of the government?"
Gu Tianjiao put the box away and signaled him to go downstairs: "It has been reported a long time ago. We are a blank market, and we are not compatible with the Twelve Angry Men. Yang Yu also said that if we can really build Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, he will Private investment. So," he looked at Yu Cheng with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation, "what do you say, come or not?"
Yu Cheng: "... Huh?"
Gu Tianjiao: "You... yes, you should ask this - until now, have you confirmed your 'self-realization'?"
Yu Cheng laughed: "It's so high-end, you look like Teacher Wang!" When the two went down to the first floor, Gu Tianjiao stopped and waited for him to speak attentively.
Yu Cheng had no choice but to follow his train of thought: "My self-realization is to become 'a person'. Think what I think, ask what I want. I will not be swayed by the outside world, and I will not be deceived by others. I will walk the path I want to walk, Throwing my own wrestling—letting me, as a human being, experience a lifetime that is all my own."
Gu Tianjiao's eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth were raised.
Yu Cheng: "On the premise of becoming a 'one person' - I'm talking a bit lofty - my dream is to be with the person I love, to form a harmonious and beautiful family, and to be happy until the end. It is realized now The first half, the second half, I think we will have no suspense if we work hard..." Gu Tianjiao was moved, and Yu Chengwen smiled, "To be honest, my ideal is to be able to support the happiness of this family. At present, I You know, I can't be more satisfied! So I won't go to 'Chu Gong Chu Shou', anyway, it's not hard to find someone like me. If you break into your world, if you fall, my daughter , Our family still has me to pick them up. What do you think?"
Gu Tianjiao nodded with a smile: "I and you come to the same goal by different routes - running a business is the same as being a human being, self-realization must always look 'inside'. As long as you find who you are in your heart, entrepreneurship, the workplace, and any field are the outside world; the outside world is you The blind spots on the way forward are also clues to your self-improvement, and in the end, they are still clouds that add luster to your life journey. And you are the universe.”
Yu Cheng was moved, and the evildoer shouted: "Ajiao——"
Gu Tianjiao: "...your sister!"
The two laughed out loud and returned to reality.Gu Tianjiao looked sideways at his hand: "What are you holding?"
Yu Cheng forwarded the photo to him, and Gu Tianjiao blushed: "Oh, I have an impression of this one. My parents said that Xiaojing was one year old that day, and they thought they wanted to commemorate it in a different way, so they let the neighbors borrow these outfits..."
Yu Cheng laughed to death: "My parents' bad tastes when they were young, there is really no such thing!" He was quiet, and asked cautiously, "Then what, brother, do you...do you... miss your... biological parents?"
Gu Tianjiao shook his head: "I met you during the summer vacation in the third year of high school."
Yu Cheng: "Huh?"
Gu Tianjiao: "They took my two elder brothers to my parents' house, as if to thank my parents for giving them back then..." He smiled, "Anyway, seeing me, we are very strange to each other - we haven't seen each other before , It seems that there is no contact after that.”
Yu Cheng: "..."
Gu Tianjiao said indifferently: "They are living a good life, and so am I. We have no ties or worries, so that's it!"
Yu Cheng hummed.
Gu Tianjiao looked back at the things in Yu Cheng's hand: "You want to take it out?"
Yu Cheng inserted the photo back into the notebook: "Hey...it's fun, let me read it for a few days first!"
He squatted down to put a collar and chain on Mei Gancai, and naturally put Gu Xiaojiao's diary between them and went out.
After the rain, above the dimly lit street lights in the community, the sky is full of stars again.The two first warmed up by swinging their arms and kicking their legs at the door of their own house, breathing in the increasingly rare and sweet air of Hangzhou into their lungs.Feeling relaxed and happy, Gu Tianjiao said leisurely: "Shan Yongchang has resigned, and his new home is 'Dapai.com'. From now on, his goal is the opposite, leading 'Dapai.com' to fight Feitian women's clothing."
Yu Cheng: "Oh, Lu Xiang is gone too. He finally found the benefactor and said he was doing cold chain fresh food, and invited me to go with him!"
Seeing that he treated his former enemy and partner as equals, Gu Tianjiao nodded appreciatively, and asked again: "Light source is now your immediate boss, isn't he difficult to deal with?"
Yu Cheng: "No! As soon as he arrived on the job, he would talk to everyone in the team, saying: 'What are the core values of our team? You feel your conscience every night before going to bed! Think about yourself in the first half of the night, and think about others in the second half of the night! 'I just thought, which 'other' do you want? How beautiful it is worth thinking about half the night? Can I sleep after tossing all night?"
Gu Tianjiao laughed.
Yu Cheng: "After the training, people came to me and asked me if I had heard about him from you, and if I had thought about how to cooperate with his work in the future. I will give him a good meal in your name~ As for him, he is so sweet that his eyes are covered with honey, and the corners of his mouth are full of spring, he insists on asking: "You are a smooth-tongued kid, just like Lao Gu! Hey, is it true or not?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Then how do you answer?"
Yu Cheng put down the dog leash and stood still, stuffed Gu Xiaojiao's diary, which he had never left since just now, into his trousers pocket, and slapped his chest to reproduce the scene: "I said: Boss, I swear by touching my left breast——sincerely!"
As soon as the words fell, Mei Gancai, who had been obediently turning around, seemed to see the dawn of freedom. It flashed lightning and dragged the chain and ran along the road.Yu Cheng was terrified, and was about to chase, but Gu Tianjiao rushed up vigorously.In a blink of an eye, he held onto the dried plums steadily, turned his head under the streetlight 20 meters away from Yu Cheng, and still held up his right thumb to give him a thumbs up.
Yu Cheng laughed and rushed forward, but unexpectedly the diary in his pocket was knocked up and fell into the grass.
Yu Cheng: "Oh my god!" He rushed down and copied it up, flipped through it, fortunately, it wasn't too wet, and the photos are also... Huh?
On the page between the photos, it began: "Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed that I was a prisoner..."
Gu Tianjiao yelled at him: "Aaron, if you don't come again, let's go!"
Yu Cheng's gaze was firmly attracted by Gu Xiaojiao's diary and he looked down: "The one locked up with me is my ancient friend... I asked him where to meet in the next life, and he said, Jiangnan."
Yu Cheng's heart pulse was concussed and his ears were deaf.He raised his head and saw Gu Tianjiao playing with dried plums, waiting for him while slowly walking away.
Yu Cheng had mixed feelings and shouted: "Brother!!!"

2016.6.18
Easter eggs + postscript
one year later.August.
Just now the same-sex marriage law was passed across the country and a piece of news was reported in China with the headline "Five couples of homosexuals in China went to the United States to get married collectively".
At eleven o'clock in the evening Beijing time on the second day, Yu Cheng was facing the golden sun in the morning of California, followed by Gu Tianjiao, who lowered his head and focused on remote control of "Chu Gong Chu De" with his mobile phone, stretched his waist and walked into the hotel's Sunshine Restaurant refreshed .It was said five years ago, "Is the most important day for one person okay? Who wants to be with so many people", I never thought that today, Yu Cheng would still have a group wedding with his good brothers.
At the long table by the window in the restaurant, Lao Gao, Fenmei Baoge, Wang Xixiaodong, Xiaoshuang and Candy sat in pairs.The family members are not there, and each has its own reasons.Yu Cheng thought about it for a long time, but didn't tell his parents much; Gu's father and mother voted for it, but considering the difficult schedule and Peng Yu's due date, the two elders didn't come.
Decisions are made in the blink of an eye.On the day of Yu Cheng's 28th birthday, Gu Tianjiao suddenly suggested: "A-Long, let's get married!"
Yu Cheng was surprised at first, then happy, and then considering various realities, he frowned and rubbed his earlobe: "Is it... too vulgar? It takes so much effort to get a piece of paper, and the country doesn't recognize it. It doesn't seem to have any effect!"
Gu Tianjiao said with a smile: "How come, we have experienced so many ups and downs, how many of them are not treated equally because of our relationship?" He paused, "But are we transparent people?"
Yu Cheng: "Uh..."
Gu Tianjiao enthusiastically drew the blueprint: "Look, we go out to get a piece of paper, even if it is equivalent to waste paper when we come back, just think about it, in the future
At this moment, an agreed line came from the side weakly: "I'm sorry..."
It was the voice of Mama Elephant—Mama Elephant was mighty and unyielding, she should appear on the stage according to the schedule, and she appeared without fear of bullets!
Yu Cheng was shocked, and he dodged to block the opening of the box.Unexpectedly, his sudden movement made his father misunderstand.Yu Cheng's father's eyes were as big as ping-pong balls, as if to say, "You kid still dare to fight back?!", and directly punched someone to shoot him.Yu Cheng had his aunt before and after the soup, his pupils dilated in fright, and he shouted: "No..."
—In an instant, time stood still.
After a long time, Yu Cheng couldn't remember how this scene happened.
Anyway, the hot soup of Yu Chengxin didn't spill out; his fist didn't hit him; even the surrounding sounds disappeared.
And Yu Cheng's father, together with Yu Cheng, and the four elephants who have the established lines and the order of entering the scene collectively appeared in shock—because Yu Cheng's arms were tightly bound, and the person held by the princess in his arms was exactly Father Yu Cheng, who was still furious before the light and shadow stopped, with explosive attack power.
The word "no" that Yu Cheng uttered floated in the air, but the scene changed to - he lowered his head and stared at the father in his arms, who looked helpless but kept glaring back at him.Yu Cheng finished his sentence relying on inertia: "...to make trouble! Are you annoying!" Then he petrified.
Father Yu Cheng: "..."
All the performers: "..."
I don't know when the waiter came back with a few bowls of seasoning: "..."
A few people just stood there in such a daze for an unknown amount of time, but it was Yu Cheng's father who came to his senses first and struggled in Yu Cheng's arms, but when he couldn't move, he said in a hoarse voice, "Let go!"
Yu Cheng hurriedly put him on the sofa stool, but Hun'er hadn't come back yet, and he was numb and embarrassing in place.
Yu Chengpa glanced at him with a complicated expression, sat down by himself, and seamlessly continued the topic before the play: "When did you find out?"
Yu Cheng: "...Huh? Oh!...I knew it when I was a child."
Father Yu Cheng: "With whom?"
Yu Cheng: "You mean a partner? No, I'm single."
By this time, Yu Cheng, one of the spectators and one of the leading actors, didn't understand how things had taken such a weird turn.While Yu Cheng was responding to his father's questions, he was also wary of whether this was the calm before another storm.
Unexpectedly, his father sat quietly for a few seconds, bent down to pick up the lost folder and put it on the table, raised his eyes: "Sit down!"
Yu Cheng sat down.His father opened the folder again, slowly flipping backwards from the first page, and rushed to the waiter who stood aside without warning: "Where's the wine I want?"
The waiter shook, put on a smiling face and put the bowls on the table one by one: "This is the tune you want..."
Father Yu Cheng: "Wine!" The waiter turned and ran away.
The father and son at the table fell silent.Yu Cheng looked around. Fortunately, this restaurant retained the noisy nature of a traditional restaurant. Except for the elephant family who secretly dragged his mother back to the next table, they did not disturb more people.
After sitting for a while, Yu Cheng's father said again: "Is it cured well?"
Yu Chengsong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not a disease at all. Hospitals that dare to 'cure' can complain and report, no matter how big or small they are."
Yu Cheng's father: "Report? You are terrible!" Yu Cheng raised his eyes, Yu Cheng's father stopped talking, pressed his eyes full of displeasure, and asked after a while, "You didn't have sex with others, how do you know you are?"
Yu Cheng: "Of course I know. Don't you also know that you are 'not'?"
Yu Cheng's father didn't answer, and silently yelled outside for a long time with no expression on his face: "Wine!!!"
The waiter hurried over, jingled the cups and opened the bottle caps.Yu Cheng took the wine bottle, his eyes hinted at him to withdraw it, and poured it for his father himself.
The light yellow liquid gradually rose in the glass, and Yu Cheng heard his father say: "I'll give you 3000 million, you get married first."
Yu Cheng: "Pfft!"
He put down the wine bottle and looked up, saw his father's serious face, quickly suppressed his smile, shook his head: "It can't be done."
Yu Cheng's father gave him a hard look, and shook his wine glass at him: "You won't get any of that property!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank.
Yu Cheng was relieved for a moment, and raised his glass in the same way: "When you are too old to move my sister, just let me raise you!"
Yu Cheng's father didn't respond, his glass of cold beer was dry, he put down the glass, picked up his handbag, got up and left.Yu Cheng didn't move, he walked two steps and came back by himself, took the envelope that Yu Cheng handed him at first, thought for a while and then took Yu Cheng's folder, without raising his eyes, he sneered: "The folder! You have I can make a PowerPoint presentation!" and left.
Yu Cheng looked at his back with a smile and said, "When I have a partner, I'll show it to you!"
Yu Cheng's father went out the gate and went downstairs without looking back.
During the process of Yu Cheng's "restoration of the case" relying on his mouth, Gu Tianjiao drove the car into the community and said, "Is that considered a success?"
Yu Cheng: "It's done." He said happily, "Elephant thinks my method is feasible, so he moved it away, and made a few modifications to bring his parents to Lao Gao's house, and he settled Gao's father and mother in one fell swoop!"
Gu Tianjiao's attention was not diverted, and he said sharply: "Don't rush to claim credit—not only did you not tell me about this in time, but you also told your father that you are single?"
Yu Cheng came back to his senses: "Coming out is a matter between me and them! It's already complicated enough. If you say you are single, the matter will be over on that day; if you want to mention your existence to him at the same time, don't bother to death! Elephant and Lao Gao are lessons learned from the past. Elephant’s parents are quite reasonable! If I want to change my father, he will think, his son has become bad, who brought it up? If there is a partner, he must be the one who brought it up! The bad guy is fascinated His son's heart... huh? Didn't you pull me in when you came out of the closet?...Hey! You know what you're struggling with!"
Gu Tianjiao smiled and looked at him appreciatively.
Yu Cheng followed with a smile, smiling and feeling sad: "It's... my father... You know, the son admires the most is the father, and the one who wants to surpass him the most. When he was young, he beat me so hard! I I really want to grow up and beat him up! But that day, I made him... I, I felt, really, it wasn't like..."
Gu Tianjiao parked the car and comforted: "Most people will go through this process, not to mention, you surpass him in physical strength!"
Embarrassed, Yu Cheng lost all his grief and burst out laughing.
The two went upstairs hand in hand, Gu Tianjiao pretended to be serious: "Also, the 3000 million, you should actually take it!"
Yu Cheng: "Yes, I regret it now too!"
Gu Tianjiao: "..."
Yu Chengle: "My dad should really come and see today's wedding CP—Peng Yu Xiaojing and the others...Gay is so weak compared to them!"
Gu Tianjiao opened the door, and Mei Gancai stood quietly by the door, looking at the two of them obediently.Gu Tianjiao squatted down and scratched the hair behind its ears, and said with a smile: "Human nature is complicated, but it's simple in the end—they and we, don't they just pursue a unity of body and mind, be recognized by those they care about, and a soul mate?"
Yu Cheng nodded slowly, and suddenly thought: "Brother, when did you show your cards?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Huh?"
Yu Cheng: "It definitely won't be very early, otherwise, according to the situation of Xiaojing and the others, there is no need to wait until now to get married."
Gu Tianjiao: "At the end of December last year, what?"
Yu Cheng's eyes narrowed: "Based on this calculation, you said that the house in Crystal City is to 'repay' Xiaojing for helping you come out with our parents...is it actually a 'deal'?"
Gu Tianjiao paused for a moment, then smiled acquiescingly and went upstairs.
Yu Chengbaba followed him: "But at that time, all you had left was the apartment, and I hurt you before you gave it away, and ran away! Why did you still give it away? If your parents don't accept it, You didn't win on the company side, so you really lost everything... At that time, did you think this kind of result was worth it?"
Gu Tianjiao turned back, and said lightly: "Last summer when we went shopping—that was when we burned incense for your father—you were annoyed at the time, saying that those famous brands were 'tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for hundreds of dollars of treatment', do you remember?"
Yu Cheng: "Yeah."
Gu Tianjiao: "Later, you moved to Treasure Hunting Flying Sky, and when you got the things you bought, you either returned them, or reluctantly kept them but never touched them again. Why?"
Yu Cheng sneered: "Because... online shopping is similar, the price of 1000 yuan can be exchanged for dozens of yuan at most, and the treatment of 100 yuan."
Gu Tianjiao: "The price/performance ratio is higher, but you can't accept things that are essentially tens or hundreds."
Yu Cheng clenched his fists excitedly: "So now I'm shopping overseas and cut the 'price' in half! Come on Xiaogu, what do you think?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Your dramatic way of shopping made me understand. This is how the world is. If you pursue a hundred, you have to spend a thousand; if you pursue a thousand, you have to spend tens of thousands." He stopped and looked at Yu Yu with a smile. Cheng said, "I pursue the best, and of course I have to pay the most."
Yu Cheng: "...I am the 'best'?"
The two went up to the third floor. In the night sky, the sky was full of stars outside the glass roof, and the flowers and plants were verdant on the terrace.
Gu Tianjiao took water from the watering can to water the flowers.He looked up at the sky and said with a relaxed smile: "For me it is. And you are worth paying more, so as long as I have you, I will earn."
Yu Cheng's eyes became hot, and he rushed forward full of joy, hugging Gu Tianjiao tightly from behind.Gu Tianjiao held his hand, and the skin of the two of them was tightly pressed together, and the body temperature passed each other.Yu Cheng inhaled pure oxygen, buried his face in Gu Tianjiao's shoulders and rubbed against him, and was speechless again.
Time will never go back, but some time can be meaningful; life continues with troubles, big and small, but there may be unexpected gains hidden in the troubles.Seven emotions, six desires, eight bitternesses and eight degrees of bitterness, the taste of life emerges endlessly, making people more and more attached to life.
Yu Cheng pulled a group of people to study for a long time and came to the conclusion that the mission of the Angry Man International Department is still inseparable from the "discount business".
He was overjoyed when he made a good plan—Gu Tianjiao once asked him "what do you want" countless times, and he also thought that before he became a "high-salary executive", he had to find a path that suits him and has a professional focus. Let him go up the stairs.
Well now, he loves big brands by nature, especially big brands that offer discounts for new models in the season; he loves management in his career path; in his career experience, he is most interested in network marketing.
Combining the above points, he also stepped on the intersection of "new trend of online shopping preference", "new direction of group development" and "new situation of department establishment" - oops!Yu Cheng felt that his ears and eyes were clear for a moment, and the sun was shining on his head!
After listening to his report, Sa Yinghua nodded with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Very good, hurry up and run!" He paused, "The new department will arrange a director to hold. But especially important things, or appointments Wine or something, I welcome you at any time."
The new director arrives as soon as he talks, and Yu Cheng enters a new round of tough battles with his superiors.Just when he was exhausted and full of ambitions preparing for Angry Man International, two surprises came unexpectedly.
On the morning of the fourth Saturday in July, the courier rang the doorbell in the rainstorm.Gu Tianjiao went downstairs in response, and came back with a smile on his face, saving a express mail: "It's from the girl!"
Yu Cheng hurriedly crawled out of the bed, watching Gu Tianjiao curiously as he tore open the wet bag, and took out a book and a greeting card with letter paper inside.
Gu Tianjiao unfolded the greeting card first, and Yu Cheng poked his head: "Hey, can you write letters in English?"
In the greeting card, there are some flowers and plants, birds and smiling faces, surrounded by simple words: Imissyou! Iloveyou! HappyBirthday&EveryDay!
The two were happy, and then unfolded the letter paper, this time it was a combination of Chinese and English.However, unlike the greeting card, the words in the letter allow the two adults to read the words, and at the same time suppress the "smile" that is exclusive to parents to their children.
Tingting's handwriting is jerky, but it can be seen that she is very serious.She wrote:
"Dear dad and uncle, we haven't seen each other for another 18 days, how are you and Meigancai? I'm on summer vacation now, every day is very happy, and I miss you very much. Next month is dad's birthday, mom said, At the end of this month, she and my uncle will take my brother and me to travel to many places, and we won’t be able to come back. So I would like to wish my dad a happy birthday! The book I sent with this letter is a birthday present, I hope my dad likes it!
"PS. I know you two are schwul. It doesn't matter. I love both of you forever.
"PPS. I will be ten years old in October next year. My mother said that children have the right to choose whether to live with their father or their mother when they reach the age of ten. I hope that the tenth birthday will come soon!"
At the end, I drew a little smiley face with braids.
Gu Tianjiao: "'schwul'?"
Yu Cheng took the mobile phone, looked at Gu Tianjiao apprehensively after checking it, and at the same time, Gu Tianjiao opened the book Tingting sent.
Yu Cheng followed suit.The book is not brand new, it can be seen that it is often read, and it can be seen that the little girl loves it very much.The two leaned together and flipped through the thin book.The word above just recognizes "Papa", but the picture is clear-a little boy with his father, and his father's same-sex partner, the happy life of three people.
Yu Cheng typed letters into the tablet according to the cover, and Gu Tianjiao flipped through the book again: "German?"
Yu Cheng looked at Du Niang's results and turned around: "This is it, it's called "Daddy's Roommate". 'schwul' means gay, a German story about teaching children to understand and tolerate gays." He stayed for a while, "She knows...but Does she really understand?"
Gu Tianjiao frowned slightly, but didn't answer.The two silently read the translated version, and then read Tingting's letter again.Yu Cheng took the courier bag that Gu Tianjiao put aside, and compared the writing on both sides: "Is this courier from Tingting's mother?"
Gu Tianjiao nodded.
Yu Cheng thought: "Her mother must have bought the book, and only her mother understands German. She also told her 'legal rights of ten-year-old children'-that means..." He jumped up, "Wow! Tingting’s mother figured it out? Is she likely to come back next year?”
Gu Tianjiao was led by him first, his eyes glowed.Yu Cheng laughed wildly: "It's true, if you are educated, you can't control it! He wrote letters and studied the Fa..." He grabbed Gu Tianjiao, "Then can we persuade her mother now to let the little girl come back sooner?" ?”
Gu Tianjiao thought for a while: "Probably not."
But he immediately called Tingting's mother.The two talked for less than a minute, and Tingting's mother hung up in a hurry.Gu Tianjiao smiled wryly at Yu Cheng and shook his head: "She said that she took Tingting out to play the book last year. In Germany, the little girl put it in a stack of books for her to buy. She didn't pay attention at the time. Then, didn't you teach her how to read?" Check the online dictionary?"
Yu Cheng nodded suspiciously.
Gu Tianjiao: "The school also taught children how to look up pinyin. Tingting's mother said that the little girl figured out this book by herself. After buying it, she hid it in Tibet, and her mother accidentally saw it a year later."
Yu Cheng: "...Then, what does she think?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Obviously, she counted the visiting day at the end of this month and my birthday together, and took the girl on a long trip..." He smiled helplessly, "The little girl understands the relationship between us conceptually, her mother Reasonable consideration and acquiescence, but it does not mean that she agrees."
Yu Cheng: "Then she is ten years old..."
Gu Tianjiao: "Tingting's mother didn't answer my question at all."
Yu Cheng collapsed, and the two were silent for a while, Gu Tianjiao said with relief: "No matter what, the girl has us in her heart. Maybe next year, or maybe when she grows up, she will come back one day. Just like you, family members Not one will be left behind!"
Yu Cheng thought, that's right, even if they can't reunite in the near future, the little girl took the initiative to point to the bright side of their connection with Tingting.He was happy again, and the topic with Gu Tianjiao could not be separated from this all day long.
Gu Tianjiao packed the letter and greeting card in a file bag until he was going to walk the dog in the evening.Said: "Treasure it, wait for me."
Yu Cheng followed curiously: "Hiding? Where? I want to see it too!"
The two entered the study room, Gu Tianjiao used the small steps as a cushion, opened the top shelf of the west bookshelf, and a safe appeared.
Yu Cheng: "Hey, don't you keep your valuables by the bedside?"
Gu Tianjiao smiled: "No one can look it up! The password is your birthday, fingerprints are also fine, you can record it yourself." He opened the cabinet, and it was almost full of documents.With a flash of inspiration, Yu Cheng pushed Gu Tianjiao away, climbed up to search for it, and quickly found the transparent file bag containing his handwritten paper.
Yu Cheng took it out to read, and it was really that diary entry—his agreement with Xie Zhixing at that time and his innermost feelings were written down in it with all his heart and soul.
Yu Cheng smiled embarrassingly, fanned the file bag and asked, "When will you return this to me?"
Gu Tianjiao: "It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back now, let me make a souvenir!"
He took it away, and put Tingting's letters and books in it as they were.Yu Cheng gave up, and his eyes were attracted by an old cardboard box outside the safe: "What is this?"
Gu Tianjiao locked the cabinet: "Xiaojing gave it to me, saying it was my old stuff. They found it when they moved to a new house and sorted out the sundries. I haven't had time to look at it yet!"
Yu Cheng quickly carried the carton down and put it on the carpet.The box is sealed, but the seal is also very old.There are four large characters written crookedly in black pen on it, "Mystery of Darkness".
Yu Cheng: "It's so romantic, Xiaojing wrote it?"
Gu Tianjiao came over with a paper cutter and tore it apart twice: "Who else is there besides him! How could he take my things?"
When the box was opened, there was a musty smell, and there was everything in it.Some yellowed books, a small stack of dusty cassettes, Yu Cheng put the cassettes out one by one: "Grasshopper, Wenner, Leslie Cheung..." He laughed, "There is a sign of time travel!"
In addition, there are repeaters, headsets, rolled up "three good students" certificates, grade books, and even elementary school Chinese textbooks and homework books from N years ago.
Gu Tianjiao: "I don't know when he made this at all, he was so small back then... haven't these been sold long ago?"
Yu Cheng raised his head: "Actually, he has always admired you in his heart, right?"
Gu Tianjiao pointed to the "Darkness" on the box lid: "Did you see it?"
Yu Cheng said with a serious face: "Later, love gave birth to hatred. Now that I have got out of the entanglement of love and hate, I will confess to you in this way."
Gu Tianjiao: "..."
Yu Cheng kept his hands open, flipping through a diary that was unbelievably soft with horizontal lines.The date was "1987", and his eyes widened: "Wow, archaeological documents! At that time, I was still learning to breastfeed, and you already knew how to read and write? ... and pinyin, my God!"
This diary looks like homework assigned by the teacher, and the word "good" is commented in red pen at the end.The difference is that some "good" are written big and chic, while others are written small and reluctantly.
Yu Cheng: "The more you practice, the better your calligraphy is, and you've even learned the strokes! Uh..." He stopped suddenly, and for some reason, a sentence popped up in his head, "The strokes here are sharp but not sharp, and the energy is hidden in the soft shape"—— —It seems to be...a scene in his dream?What the hell!
Gu Tianjiao leaned over to take a look, smiled and got up, brought a basin of water back, and wiped the dust on the box with a towel one by one.Obviously, "Dark Mystery" is a channel for Yu Cheng to glimpse into Gu Tianjiao's childhood, and for Gu Tianjiao, it is a precious memory carrier.
Every time he picked up something, there was a look of reminiscence on his brows.Infected by him, Yu Cheng also calmed down, reading the diary slowly.
The diary of Gu Xiaojiao's children's shoes is filled with one page each.But the words are big enough, obviously making up the numbers.Looking at the content again, it’s all innocuous: either it’s a realistic internal contradiction, what brother eats his book, brother wets the bed, etc.; Little Lei Feng" or something.Yu Cheng laughed while watching, taking personal revenge on Gu Tianjiao for the same character a year ago; but watching and watching, he seemed to gradually understand the reason why Xiao Jing collected these things.
However, the good times didn't last long. After the first half of the book, Gu Xiaojiao's content and style changed.With a turn of his pen, he moved from the bustling world to the cold sky, mostly saying "the moon is so full tonight, what is the little rabbit under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree doing?" A kind of fairy tale myth and nonsense.
Yu Cheng flipped through more than a dozen pages, dumbfounding: "What is this writing about?"
Gu Tianjiao looked at it, and recalled shamelessly and calmly: "At that time, writing essays was the most troublesome, and I had to hold back when writing back. Who knew that when we were in the second grade, the teacher insisted that we keep a diary! The children didn't know many words, and life was difficult. It's monotonous, how can you write three hundred characters every day for new stuff!... Xiao Mao, have you never used it?"
Yu Cheng shook his head: "You should have known there was another trick..."
Before he finished speaking, a small black and white photo slipped from the gap in the diary to Yu Cheng's palm.He picked it up and almost sprayed it!
There are two children in the photo, one looks five or six years old, and she is a girl in a skirt.She knelt on her left knee and squatted reservedly, holding another in her arms. She was standing and looking silly at the camera, visually observing a baby who was just about to walk.Both of them had a red spot on their foreheads, wore lipstick, and each wore a long string of fake pearl necklaces.Roughly, they look like a pair of sisters, carefully identify and speculate... aren't they the young and ignorant Gu Tianjiao and Xiaojing?And it looks more and more like it!
It turns out that Gu Tianjiao still has such a dark history... Yu Cheng stared at the photo, his brain cells burst into tears from laughter, but when the inspiration came, he froze tightly.He took a long breath, and asked Gu Tianjiao with [-]% depth, "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"
Gu Tianjiao sorted things out and recycled them: "What's the matter? About the diary or something else?"
Yu Cheng deliberately said slowly: "Anything."
Gu Tianjiao thought for a while, and his aura weakened: "There is one thing... I plan to resign from Twelve Angry Men after next year's fiscal year, and then as a partner of Xiaojing's company, I will do my best..."
Yu Cheng: "... Huh?!"
Gu Tianjiao was puzzled: "It's not this? What is it?"
Yu Cheng: "You, you, you, make this clear first!"
Gu Tianjiao looked at him: "Nearly half of their company's initial investment is my money—Xiao Jing doesn't care, but you can tell Xiao Yu's character, he is not the kind of person who can accept free gifts with peace of mind. So they insisted on me as a Shareholders enjoy 35% of their company's dividends and a veto right to the company's operating decisions. Now I hope I can really join and lead them to make the cake bigger."
Yu Cheng couldn't figure it out: "The benefactor is the beneficiary, why... you are the vice president of Twelve Angry Men!"
Gu Tianjiao smiled: "We discussed it - 'I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail'. Lao Wu can't avoid things, and I am the same as him in this respect. It has always been my goal to own a company that I founded. Wish. Xiaojing’s company has the right timing, conditions, and people, so of course I accept it. I didn’t say anything before because I was afraid you would be worried..." Yu Cheng was speechless, and Gu Tianjiao clasped his fists at him, "It will definitely not happen again in the future!"
Yu Cheng couldn't help laughing: "...Which line?"
Gu Tianjiao came over with his mobile phone: "An APP, which is used to recycle old things at home." He clicked on a light green interface, "This is it, it's called 'Chu Gong Chu De', you can download it too. It turns out that Xiao Jing is doing takeout Internet, but entered the door late, there are many competitors, the initial investment is large, and it is thankless. Seeing that your father's business is good last year, I wondered, those obsolete old furniture, including good old clothes and old appliances Kind of like, what to do——I suggest that they transfer."
Yu Cheng took his mobile phone to the app store and looked for it: "Five-star app, awesome brother!" After downloading and opening, the app functions are focused, ordering is convenient, and the vision is clean and generous.He played for a while, then looked back at Gu Tianjiao, "Your company just collects junk!"
Gu Tianjiao laughed: "Don't underestimate this, we have opened up the recycling link, and the cumulative downloads of the APP have exceeded [-]. Hangzhou has already achieved profitability, and we plan to spread out in Beijing and Shanghai immediately—many benefactors have come to talk to me with money. It's about the A round." Yu Cheng was surprised, and Gu Tianjiao continued, "But I plan to raise it again, and talk about a big one at a time. Anyway, I still have money. This promotion, the company rewarded [-] shares. Group It will definitely be launched this year, and after the lock-up period next year, I can squeeze out one-third of the water and it will be enough to transfuse blood for a year."
Yu Cheng was a little erratic, and suddenly thought: "Will it violate the integrity of the government?"
Gu Tianjiao put the box away and signaled him to go downstairs: "It has been reported a long time ago. We are a blank market, and we are not compatible with the Twelve Angry Men. Yang Yu also said that if we can really build Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, he will Private investment. So," he looked at Yu Cheng with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation, "what do you say, come or not?"
Yu Cheng: "... Huh?"
Gu Tianjiao: "You... yes, you should ask this - until now, have you confirmed your 'self-realization'?"
Yu Cheng laughed: "It's so high-end, you look like Teacher Wang!" When the two went down to the first floor, Gu Tianjiao stopped and waited for him to speak attentively.
Yu Cheng had no choice but to follow his train of thought: "My self-realization is to become 'a person'. Think what I think, ask what I want. I will not be swayed by the outside world, and I will not be deceived by others. I will walk the path I want to walk, Throwing my own wrestling—letting me, as a human being, experience a lifetime that is all my own."
Gu Tianjiao's eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth were raised.
Yu Cheng: "On the premise of becoming a 'one person' - I'm talking a bit lofty - my dream is to be with the person I love, to form a harmonious and beautiful family, and to be happy until the end. It is realized now The first half, the second half, I think we will have no suspense if we work hard..." Gu Tianjiao was moved, and Yu Chengwen smiled, "To be honest, my ideal is to be able to support the happiness of this family. At present, I You know, I can't be more satisfied! So I won't go to 'Chu Gong Chu Shou', anyway, it's not hard to find someone like me. If you break into your world, if you fall, my daughter , Our family still has me to pick them up. What do you think?"
Gu Tianjiao nodded with a smile: "I and you come to the same goal by different routes - running a business is the same as being a human being, self-realization must always look 'inside'. As long as you find who you are in your heart, entrepreneurship, the workplace, and any field are the outside world; the outside world is you The blind spots on the way forward are also clues to your self-improvement, and in the end, they are still clouds that add luster to your life journey. And you are the universe.”
Yu Cheng was moved, and the evildoer shouted: "Ajiao——"
Gu Tianjiao: "...your sister!"
The two laughed out loud and returned to reality.Gu Tianjiao looked sideways at his hand: "What are you holding?"
Yu Cheng forwarded the photo to him, and Gu Tianjiao blushed: "Oh, I have an impression of this one. My parents said that Xiaojing was one year old that day, and they thought they wanted to commemorate it in a different way, so they let the neighbors borrow these outfits..."
Yu Cheng laughed to death: "My parents' bad tastes when they were young, there is really no such thing!" He was quiet, and asked cautiously, "Then what, brother, do you...do you... miss your... biological parents?"
Gu Tianjiao shook his head: "I met you during the summer vacation in the third year of high school."
Yu Cheng: "Huh?"
Gu Tianjiao: "They took my two elder brothers to my parents' house, as if to thank my parents for giving them back then..." He smiled, "Anyway, seeing me, we are very strange to each other - we haven't seen each other before , It seems that there is no contact after that.”
Yu Cheng: "..."
Gu Tianjiao said indifferently: "They are living a good life, and so am I. We have no ties or worries, so that's it!"
Yu Cheng hummed.
Gu Tianjiao looked back at the things in Yu Cheng's hand: "You want to take it out?"
Yu Cheng inserted the photo back into the notebook: "Hey...it's fun, let me read it for a few days first!"
He squatted down to put a collar and chain on Mei Gancai, and naturally put Gu Xiaojiao's diary between them and went out.
After the rain, above the dimly lit street lights in the community, the sky is full of stars again.The two first warmed up by swinging their arms and kicking their legs at the door of their own house, breathing in the increasingly rare and sweet air of Hangzhou into their lungs.Feeling relaxed and happy, Gu Tianjiao said leisurely: "Shan Yongchang has resigned, and his new home is 'Dapai.com'. From now on, his goal is the opposite, leading 'Dapai.com' to fight Feitian women's clothing."
Yu Cheng: "Oh, Lu Xiang is gone too. He finally found the benefactor and said he was doing cold chain fresh food, and invited me to go with him!"
Seeing that he treated his former enemy and partner as equals, Gu Tianjiao nodded appreciatively, and asked again: "Light source is now your immediate boss, isn't he difficult to deal with?"
Yu Cheng: "No! As soon as he arrived on the job, he would talk to everyone in the team, saying: 'What are the core values of our team? You feel your conscience every night before going to bed! Think about yourself in the first half of the night, and think about others in the second half of the night! 'I just thought, which 'other' do you want? How beautiful it is worth thinking about half the night? Can I sleep after tossing all night?"
Gu Tianjiao laughed.
Yu Cheng: "After the training, people came to me and asked me if I had heard about him from you, and if I had thought about how to cooperate with his work in the future. I will give him a good meal in your name~ As for him, he is so sweet that his eyes are covered with honey, and the corners of his mouth are full of spring, he insists on asking: "You are a smooth-tongued kid, just like Lao Gu! Hey, is it true or not?"
Gu Tianjiao: "Then how do you answer?"
Yu Cheng put down the dog leash and stood still, stuffed Gu Xiaojiao's diary, which he had never left since just now, into his trousers pocket, and slapped his chest to reproduce the scene: "I said: Boss, I swear by touching my left breast——sincerely!"
As soon as the words fell, Mei Gancai, who had been obediently turning around, seemed to see the dawn of freedom. It flashed lightning and dragged the chain and ran along the road.Yu Cheng was terrified, and was about to chase, but Gu Tianjiao rushed up vigorously.In a blink of an eye, he held onto the dried plums steadily, turned his head under the streetlight 20 meters away from Yu Cheng, and still held up his right thumb to give him a thumbs up.
Yu Cheng laughed and rushed forward, but unexpectedly the diary in his pocket was knocked up and fell into the grass.
Yu Cheng: "Oh my god!" He rushed down and copied it up, flipped through it, fortunately, it wasn't too wet, and the photos are also... Huh?
On the page between the photos, it began: "Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed that I was a prisoner..."
Gu Tianjiao yelled at him: "Aaron, if you don't come again, let's go!"
Yu Cheng's gaze was firmly attracted by Gu Xiaojiao's diary and he looked down: "The one locked up with me is my ancient friend... I asked him where to meet in the next life, and he said, Jiangnan."
Yu Cheng's heart pulse was concussed and his ears were deaf.He raised his head and saw Gu Tianjiao playing with dried plums, waiting for him while slowly walking away.
Yu Cheng had mixed feelings and shouted: "Brother!!!"

Easter eggs + postscript
one year later.August.
Just now the same-sex marriage law was passed across the country and a piece of news was reported in China with the headline "Five couples of homosexuals in China went to the United States to get married collectively".
At eleven o'clock in the evening Beijing time on the second day, Yu Cheng was facing the golden sun in the morning of California, followed by Gu Tianjiao, who lowered his head and focused on remote control of "Chu Gong Chu De" with his mobile phone, stretched his waist and walked into the hotel's Sunshine Restaurant refreshed .It was said five years ago, "Is the most important day for one person okay? Who wants to be with so many people", I never thought that today, Yu Cheng would still have a group wedding with his good brothers.
At the long table by the window in the restaurant, Lao Gao, Fenmei Baoge, Wang Xixiaodong, Xiaoshuang and Candy sat in pairs.The family members are not there, and each has its own reasons.Yu Cheng thought about it for a long time, but didn't tell his parents much; Gu's father and mother voted for it, but considering the difficult schedule and Peng Yu's due date, the two elders didn't come.
Decisions are made in the blink of an eye.On the day of Yu Cheng's 28th birthday, Gu Tianjiao suddenly suggested: "A-Long, let's get married!"
Yu Cheng was surprised at first, then happy, and then considering various realities, he frowned and rubbed his earlobe: "Is it... too vulgar? It takes so much effort to get a piece of paper, and the country doesn't recognize it. It doesn't seem to have any effect!"
Gu Tianjiao said with a smile: "How come, we have experienced so many ups and downs, how many of them are not treated equally because of our relationship?" He paused, "But are we transparent people?"
Yu Cheng: "Uh..."
Gu Tianjiao enthusiastically drew the blueprint: "Look, we go out to get a piece of paper, even if it is equivalent to waste paper when we come back, just think about it, in the future
