The Deepest Color of the Night

Gu Yuan woke up on time the next morning.Over the past few years, wandering and heavy work have allowed him to develop a military-like accurate schedule. No matter what time he was tossing the night before, he would wake up on time at 06:30 the next day.

He opened his eyes, and his next move was to touch Fang Jin's forehead.

Then his muscles stiffened.

Fang Jin must have a fever after crying. This may be due to his physical constitution. The fever subsides after a long time. The doctor also told him not to give him random medicines.But in the past, it was a low-grade fever, which could only be measured with a thermometer, unlike now that you can feel hot when you touch it.

Gu Yuan put on his clothes quickly and got up, rummaged around the bedside but couldn't find the thermometer, so he called the servant to deliver one, and pinched Fang Jin's mouth open for him to suck.

Fang Jin was in a daze, as if he was sleeping restlessly but couldn't wake up. Feeling Gu Yuan's breath in a trance, he grabbed his hand with a slap, and then subconsciously dawdled and hugged his strong arm. In my arms.

Gu Yuan paused.

He originally wanted to take advantage of these few minutes to wash up quickly, but at this time, he couldn't bear to pull away by a strange coincidence. After hesitating for a few seconds, he kept his posture motionless, letting him hug his arms like a pillow.

It is actually very difficult to maintain this posture of bending over to stand up. Gu Yuan tried his best to keep his upper body still, and slowly shifted his weight from one leg to the other.After two or three minutes, the thermometer beeped, and then he carefully pulled his arm out of Fang Jin's arms, pulled out the thermometer and checked, it was 3 degrees five.

The temperature is not the point, Gu Yuan's eyes fell on the scarlet point at the end of the thermometer, his pupils constricted slightly.

— that's blood.

He didn't even think about it, and immediately opened Fang Jin's mouth slightly, and put his hand in to explore.There was no trace of blood in the mouth, and he turned his fingers to rub around the upper jaw and gums, and finally found the scarlet water, which was bleeding gums.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that I didn't take care of my diet, lack of vitamin C?Or did you grit your teeth last night in a hurry?

Fang Jin seemed to wake up a little from the torment, and called out to Gu Yuan in a trance.

The voice was as soft as a cat, and Gu Yuan was afraid that he would wake up without enough sleep, so he leaned over and held him in his arms, patted him gently like putting a child to sleep, stroking his hair and neck.The dry and warm palm made Fang Jin feel very comfortable in a haze, and after a few minutes, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Gu Yuan waited until his breathing became stable again, then quietly got up and went outside, and called the servant to call for a doctor.

Gu Yuan has never lived in the Gu family's mansion since he came back from studying in the UK, and he is very unfamiliar with everything here.In the past, there was a family doctor in the manor in case of emergencies, but for some reason, Fang Jin dismissed most of the servants and guards, and they could not be found for a while.

It is not easy to find a doctor so early, Gu Yuan hastily ate some breakfast after washing up, sat by Fang Jin's bed and waited until the fire came out, and the servant hurriedly led a private doctor to the door - at this time, he was away from calling for an hour and a half.

Gu Yuan held back his anger and shook hands with the doctor. He explained in detail how Fang Jin was not in good spirits during this time. He woke up in the morning and found that he had a fever and bleeding gums. I eat well all day, so I am sure there is no lack of vitamins. Take a closer look, is there any inflammation, or is it allergic to something?"

This is a common problem of people like Gu Yuan - knowing that he doesn't know more than a doctor, but he still can't help but say a few more words, the subtext is that I don't understand it at all, so you must Don't fool me.

Fortunately, the doctor had a good temper and didn't care about him. He guessed in his heart that the rich man might have played with him on the bed, so he didn't take it seriously. He just respectfully agreed and carried the medicine box into the bedroom.

As a result, the doctor came out about 10 minutes later, frowned and said to Gu Yuan, "Mr. Gu, the patient's condition is not very good. There are some soft tissue bruises on his body. It may be...uh... it's better to be gentle. I have some medicinal wine here. You Let people apply it on the patient's wound every day and massage it for a while, avoid cold and spicy, and keep warm as much as possible, is that okay?"

Gu Yuan nodded every time he heard what the doctor said, and after listening, he took the medicinal wine into his hand, looked at it for a while, and asked, "——how to massage?"

The doctor was a little surprised.

But since this young man wanted to learn, the doctor still taught him the massage techniques and precautions carefully.Gu Yuan listened carefully, and asked the doctor to demonstrate it to him, and practiced it a few times on himself to confirm that the hand movements are correct before giving up.

"Then his gums are bleeding, what's going on?"

The doctor said: "The bleeding gums may be periodontitis, or it may be the oral manifestations of systemic diseases. I will come back tomorrow to do a blood test for the patient, and I can almost confirm it."

Gu Yuan insisted: "Do it now."

"It's pointless to do it now." The doctor tactfully said: "The blood routine is only accurate after 24 hours. If you are in a hurry, I can come over early tomorrow morning. You can rest assured that the results will be available on the same day... ..."

Only then did Gu Yuan's gloomy expression ease, and he faintly showed a polite smile. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he called the servant over to take the doctor out, and before he left, he wrote an extra generous check as a reward.

The doctor accepted it with a smile, but secretly wondered.

When he saw the beauty on the bed, he thought it was just another vulgar drama where the domineering president forced himself on him. The next day when he found out that he was dying, he hurriedly called the doctor to save the scene. He had seen many such dirty dramas in the upper class up.

But what he didn't expect was that Gu Yuan was so serious that he even learned massage by himself, without any intention of pretending to be someone else. Before he left, he wrote such a thick check—obviously, he was taking money to seal the doctor's mouth.

If he hadn't seen those bruising marks with his own eyes, he might have thought that behind these strange behaviors, there was a secret love that was difficult for outsiders to detect.

But he was just a doctor, and he didn't want to know too much about the secrets of such a wealthy family, so he thanked him warmly and left.

·

When Gu Yuan returned to the bedroom, Fang Jin finally woke up slowly, laying sleepily on the pillow.

Before the doctor came, Gu Yuan wrapped Fang Jin up with his own shirt, but the shirt was obviously too big for him, with only two buttons fastened, and the neckline slid down one shoulder blade, revealing a small piece of smooth skin inside.

Gu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, pulled up his clothes, poured medicinal wine on the bruised lower back, and massaged it gently.

Fang Jin twitched instantly in pain, but then turned his head and looked at Gu Yuan helplessly.

This posture should be quite strenuous for him, but Fang Jin remained motionless, just staring at it like this, as if he could grit his teeth and endure all physical pains by moving with this.

"..." Gu Yuan kept massaging his hands and raised his eyes to look at him.

This similar posture and angle reminded him suddenly of last night, when Fang Jin looked back at himself with tears in the most violent and chaotic time.His eyes were like those of a drowning man grasping for driftwood, full of eager and suppressed longing.

Gu Yuan's heart moved, he lowered his head and asked, "What do you see me doing?"

Fang Jin lowered his eyes.

"Ask you, see what I do?"

Fang Jin turned his head back, but was immediately grabbed by Gu Yuan, and then made a gesture to touch the silver chain hanging around his neck.

Only then did Fang Jin notice that the ring was hanging around his neck, and immediately reached out to grab the chain, and retracted into the quilt to prevent Gu Yuan from touching it.

But to Gu Yuan, this little resistance is of course the same as nothing.He simply bent down and completely pressed on Fang Jin's back, wrapped one arm around his waist to prevent him from moving, and stretched out the other hand to dig under the quilt—in fact, he didn't really dig it out, it was more just a joke That's all.

While struggling, he intentionally rubbed Fang Jin's delicate and smooth neck and collarbone a few times. He didn't feel relieved last night, and it was quite satisfying to eat two handfuls of tofu in the morning.Just when he was feeling funny, he suddenly heard Fang Jin dodge and make a hoarse voice: "You have already given it to me!"

Gu Yuan maintained the posture of pressing against him, and said coldly, "So what?"

"...you can't go back."

There could be traces of forcible cover-up in this voice, it seemed that it was just a simple refusal, but a trace of resentment that could not be concealed was still revealed through the trembling tail.

Gu Yuan noticed the resentment and was stunned.

His hands paused under the quilt, reached into the thin fabric of the shirt, and pressed against Fang Jin's chest.Through the warm skin, he could feel the beating frequency of Fang Jin's heart, which was so urgent and rapid.

The huge bedroom was suddenly very quiet. After a while, Gu Yuan stood up hesitantly, looked at his head buried in the pillow, and his back with scars exposed between the quilts, and said slowly: "...you don't intend to accept it, and you don't give it back. I, what do you mean?"

Fang Jin remained silent.

"You don't want to hang me, do you?"

After Gu Yuan said this, his heart seemed to beat faster, and he looked straight at the hair on the back of Fang Jin's head.

He himself thought it was ridiculous. A normal man would be furious if he found out that he was being hung up like a spare tire, even if it was just a guess.

But what he feels now is annoyed, mixed with indescribable bitterness and expectation, and even a little nervous.

Fang Jin moved, and for a moment Gu Yuan thought he was going to say something, but then he shrank back into the big bed, still not saying a word.

There was a stalemate for several minutes, and the room was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

Gu Yuan finally realized that it was impossible for Fang Jin to speak.An even more embarrassing embarrassment climbed up his spine, and he suddenly got up from the bed, and said coldly: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, it doesn't matter what you think, it's true that it's better to be obedient and obedient."

——This is true, Fang Jin is now at the bottom of the valley, not to mention bringing a crisis-ridden Gu family, once Gu Yuan gets serious, he is no match at all.

Fang Jin remained motionless like a dead person, Gu Yuan strode out of the bedroom, came back after a while, stood by the bed and said coldly: "Drink it."

Fang Jin finally raised his head slightly, only to see a glass of fruit juice in front of him.

He hesitated for a while, not knowing what it meant for a moment, but seeing that Gu Yuan really had no intention of coming to snatch the ring again, he sat up slowly, took the juice, and drank it obediently.

The juice was slightly warm, and the glass was also hot, with water stains on it.If using a microwave to heat the juice will destroy the vitamins, then the cup in front of you should be put in hot water after the juice is squeezed to bring the temperature.

Fang Jin didn't know why Gu Yuan suddenly stared at him drinking the juice, and he didn't expect him to be so meticulous, he was a little dazed after drinking it.Gu Yuan took the empty glass back from his hand, and said calmly: "I told the servant that I will drink it every morning, so remember not to forget it."

He didn't explain Fang Jin's bleeding gums, so he turned around and walked out.

If it is seen by outsiders who don't know it, this should be a very enviable picture.The young and well-matched couple wake up in the morning light, caressing, fighting, gazing intently, drinking warm and intimate drinks... Randomly cut the next scene, it is the most vivid portrayal of the beauty of flowers.

However, under the beautiful appearance, no one knows that one broken life is lingering, while the other is just in time and has a bright future.

Gu Yuan opened the door and was about to go out, when suddenly he heard a low voice from behind:

"Sorry……"

Gu Yuan stopped, but didn't turn his head, "What did you say?"

"...I didn't want to hang you up."

——If you don't hang on to me, do you still like me?

In other words, when I was helpless and needed help, I suddenly saw me, and remembered a little bit of the past, so besides the 90.00% sorrow and pain, I barely shared [-]% of my love with me. ?

Gu Yuan opened his mouth and was about to stab a few words, but suddenly he heard Jin Jin's weak and difficult question behind him: "Do you hate me... Gu Yuan?"

At that moment, Gu Yuan really hoped that he could give an affirmative answer.But when the words came out, he didn't even know why they turned into: "——what do you say?"

Fang Jin was silent, and after a long time said softly: "I'm sorry."

It seemed that apart from these three words, he really didn't know what else to say.

Gu Yuan felt cold in his heart.He knew that he should lift his feet to leave, but it was difficult for him to move for a moment. He only tilted his head slightly to look at the dark and smooth paint on the door frame, and he could faintly glimpse the corner of the big bed in the bedroom out of the corner of his eyes.

After a while, he said lightly: "It doesn't matter, it's too late to say anything now."

"..."

"By the way, you woke up with a fever this morning. I asked the doctor to come over and have a look. He will come over to test your blood tomorrow morning."

Fang Jin tensed up when he heard the word doctor, and when he heard the blood test, he blurted out, "No way!"

Gu Yuan was just saying hello before leaving, but Fang Jin refused immediately, and immediately turned around: "What did you say? It's not a problem to have a constant fever, what's the matter with a blood test?"

"I've seen it before. It's just a matter of personal constitution. There's no need for a blood test!"

"In the past, that was in the past. I don't care what happened when you were with Gu Mingzong. You have to check with me!"

Fang Jin was stabbed stiffly, and then refused: "The current situation is sensitive... If a small problem is found out at random, it will be infinitely magnified when it is spread outside. I don't want to make any more troubles."

Gu Yuan squinted his sharp eyes, looked at him dangerously, and seemed to understand something after a while: "Are you suffering from some kind of illness, afraid that I will know?"

The heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains in the bedroom were not fully drawn, and Fang Jin's face was not clear, and he could only vaguely see that his face seemed to be a little pale at that moment: "...No, you see, I have been much better recently, I can eat and sleep well , I have no problem."

Gu Yuan realizes that this is not true.

Now that the situation of the consortium is not stable, if Fang Jin really gets seriously ill, it will indeed be a huge and deadly handle.But the problem is that there are only the two of them here, if he doesn't say anything, and Gu Yuan doesn't say anything, no one else will know about it, and the news won't get out at all.

The only explanation was that he was afraid that Gu Yuan would take advantage of something, he was afraid that Gu Yuan would join forces with those people outside to deal with him - other than that, there was no other reason that normal people could think of.

Are you still so guarded against me?

"—Is it necessary, Fang Jin?" Gu Yuan thought it was absurd for a moment, and asked with a sneer, "Even if you hold Gu Mingzong's will in your hand, it's not a panacea. What's more, you have a foreign surname, and I can catch your mistakes with a little effort, so I don't need to make a fuss about being sick? Are you underestimating me?"

Fang Jin lowered his eyelashes, pursed his white lips tightly, and finally suppressed a sentence in Gu Yuan's gaze after a while: "...I have no problems, don't worry about it."

Gu Yuan almost laughed angrily: "Then do whatever you want! The body is your own, so what does it matter to me?" Then he turned around and walked away.

·

Even though he said so, Gu Yuan didn't ask anyone to cancel the doctor's appointment tomorrow.

——Of course it will not be cancelled. For Gu Yuan, Fang Jin is now his property.

Although this property may have the Gu family consortium and a large amount of inheritance, it is something that Fang Jin pressed at the bottom of the box and hid it in the nest. If he loves to hide it, let him hide it, and it will not affect him. Exclusive" label.

Therefore, Fang Jin's physical condition cannot be decided by himself.

Gu Yuan had a meeting in City G this morning. When he walked out of the gate of the villa, he called his subordinates and asked them to confirm that the doctor would come to the door early tomorrow morning.Then just as he put down the phone, his confidant opened the car door and said softly, "Master, Hong Kong has something to do."

Gu Yuan got into the car, without turning his head, he said, "Huh?"

"Before Chi's family inquired about the whereabouts of Mr. Gu's last will, but because he couldn't find out, he became more and more impatient, and the commotion became more and more loud. Ke Rong went to see Ms. Chi at noon the day before yesterday, and they probably had a secret conversation After more than an hour, Chi's movements stopped after coming out..."

Gu Yuandao: "Do you suspect that Ke Rong may have found clues to the will?"

The confidant hesitated to speak, and the worry in his expression was obvious.

Gu Yuan leaned on the back seat of the car, and put amber cuff buttons on the wrists of his black shirt. His movements and voice were unhurried: "Gu Mingzong's will was not announced for half a month after his death. It is obvious that Fang Jin is suppressing this matter. If the will As he showed us back then, all the designated heirs of the property are himself, and there is no need to do so at all."

There was a look of doubt in his subordinates.

"The only explanation is that Gu Mingzong has changed his will in the past few years, and the revised content is not good for the other party..." Gu Yuan said casually, "However, it won't be very bad, maybe it's just a big part for Gu Yang. "

The subordinate said in astonishment: "Here, you—"

How do you know?

Gu Yuan sneered: "If it really comes to the point of changing the heir, how could it be possible not to call Gu Yang back from Hong Kong? The most likely thing is to leave some valuable property to Gu Yang that you don't need to use your brain to manage. In the end, Fang Jin I don’t want to, I press the will and don’t let it go, waiting for the opportunity to do something.”

——No wonder you are still guarding against me now, afraid that I will stand on the same front as Gu Yang and snatch the inheritance from him.

The confidant thought about it and it was true, and he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Then what should we do now, before the will is announced? Vice President Fang has limited control over the consortium over the past few years, and President Gu transferred the family assets to There must be loopholes in the process under my own name - if we get to the bottom of it, there is no room for manipulation..."

Gu Yuan shook his head.

The confidant looked at his face sinking like water, and felt a little uneasy.

He didn't dare to say this to others, so he just thought about it in his heart.When they came back from Southeast Asia, he thought they were here to grab Fang Jin's family property. After all, Gu Yuan's most urgent need now is to wash his hands and go ashore. The Gu Family Group is the perfect tool for him; Ke Rong, then everything will be easy, and it is even possible to combine the industries of the two families from G City to Hong Kong.

If it can be done, Gu Yuan's development in the future...wouldn't be what Gu Mingzong could compare to back then?

But after returning to G City, he found that Gu Yuan didn't seem to have such intentions.

He doesn't care much about the huge wealth of the Gu family, and even has an attitude that can be called indifference - on the contrary, he values ​​Fang Jin very much.

That kind of respect is so strong and paranoid, if they didn't know what Fang Jin did before, his subordinates would even think that what Gu Yuan is showing at this moment is a kind of infatuation.

But how is it possible?Obsessed with someone who used him for power and money, and even threw himself into the arms of his father?

"Let's talk about it later." Gu Yuan said lightly, "This is not the key now."

His subordinates expected that he was going to refuse, but Gu Yuan had a bad temper, so he didn't dare to say it right away, he just said yes.

"Send someone to check Ke Rong's whereabouts some time ago, including who he met, where he went, and the whereabouts of the former royal lawyers of Gu Mingzong and their family members. In addition, what business decisions Ke Rong has made recently, regardless of size Give me."

At this time, the car drove to the place and stopped firmly at the entrance of the venue. The bodyguard went down and opened the door.

Just as Gu Yuan was about to get out of the car, he stood up and paused again, then turned around and said:

"When I left Gu's house, I brought out everything I could bring. Your vice president Fang values ​​the remaining things more than your life, so let him cover it by himself, and you don't need to compete with him for a moment's advantage. ,Understand?"

The subordinates immediately knew that their thoughts just now had been seen through, and a slight chill oozes from behind.

But under Gu Yuan's sharp gaze, he didn't dare to say anything, he just lowered his head and said, "Yes, young master."

Gu Yuan nodded, turned around and walked out.

·

In the end, the blood test still failed the next day, because Gu Yuan forgot that there was a very important event in the morning - Gu Mingzong's funeral.

The burial time was seven o'clock in the morning, and Fang Jin woke him up when he got up from the bed before dawn, and only then did he realize that it was so early.

It stands to reason that the burial should take place within seven days, but there was something wrong with the tomb and it had to be rebuilt, and Gu Mingzong's body had been preserved in the ice tray for half a month.

It was said to be a funeral, but Fang Jin didn't hold a ceremony at all, and didn't even invite any guests to see him off. Only himself and Gu Yuan rushed to the cemetery in the early morning.When she was sitting in the car, Fang Jin was wrapped in black, her whole body was extremely decadent, like a beautiful flower that was about to wither.

Gu Yuan could imagine how Fang Jin would send Gu Mingzong on his way alone if he hadn't come back this time.He would cry and follow behind the coffin, standing in front of the grave and watching the coffin sink into the soil inch by inch; bodyguards and entourage would surround the hillside far away, and only Fang Jin would stand alone in front of the monument in the open space, holding white flowers in his hands , like a decent widow.

That picture distorted Gu Yuan's heart, and countless vicious thoughts came to his mind.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, barely suppressing the boiling malice.

After they arrived at the cemetery, they took Gu Mingzong's body out of the freezer. Fang Jin said nothing, but his eyes were red and tears filled the corners of his eyes.Gu Yuan was really too lazy to look, and was about to turn around and walk away, when Fang Jin said hoarsely: "Please don't go... Come, let's take a last look at your father..."

Gu Yuan said coldly: "No, you can see for yourself."

Who knows that Fang Jin turned his head and looked at him straight, with pleading eyes: "... Please, please?"

Gu Yuan was stabbed by the tears, and after a moment of silence, he finally stepped forward and looked down at his father in the freezer.

At this glance, I saw that something was wrong.

Although Gu Yuan hasn't seen his father for more than two years, he didn't expect Gu Mingzong to become so old.In my memory, this man is very capable and powerful, and because of the proper maintenance and exercise, he looks young, not at all like the father of two sons in their 20s.

——However, the person in front of me, separated by a layer of transparent glass, although the outline and impression of the face are the same, the overall feeling is more than 20 years older, and he is very weak and gray.

Is it pain?Impossible, myocardial infarction is a thing of the past.

So it's the makeup artist's problem?

But make-up artists try their best to look young and rich. If they can make a person 20 years older, are they really afraid that Fang Jin will come to the door and tear him apart?

Suspicion flashed across Gu Yuan's eyes, but he didn't say much.

The bodyguards assisted the staff to close and lift the coffin, and walked through the cemetery under the gray sky in the morning to the grave that had already been dug in the distance.Fang Jin followed behind in a black coat. From Gu Yuan's perspective, he could see his red eye sockets, tight lips, and expressionless face with wet tears.

Gu Yuan touched the handkerchief in his pocket with his fingertips, thought for a while but didn't move, only half a step behind in silence.

This cemetery has a long history, and most of them belong to the Gu family.Gu Mingzong's location was also prepared long before his death. Someone should have had a look at Feng Shui. It was on a slightly raised grassy slope.

Standing by the pit, Fang Jin burst into tears the moment he saw the coffin being put in.

——It would be alright if he cried aloud, but the appearance of crying without saying a word made Gu Yuan feel particularly disturbed.But in front of so many people in the cemetery, he didn't want to start a fire and embarrass Fang Jin, so he took a deep breath and endured it, walked away quietly while the coffin was filling the ground, and went straight down the grassy slope.

It would be a lie to say that there is no sadness at all, but after so many things, the sadness has been mixed with too many complicated emotions, so that he can no longer simply feel sad for the dead.

Gu Yuan walked down the shady side of the grassy slope.Almost no one will come here, the morning breeze is passing through the woods with damp and cool water vapor.Standing among the bushes, he took a deep breath, feeling that his lungs were filled with cold oxygen, and then slowly discharged out of his nasal cavity, his whole spirit immediately lifted.

It was time for him to return to Hong Kong after the funeral.Or take Fang Jin with him, anyway, Hong Kong is also close to G City, leaving him here alone does not know what will happen.

Gu Yuan was thinking so, and was walking forward when he suddenly tripped.

--thump!

Gu Yuan fell down on the grass, almost in a daze.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and supported himself on the ground, but even so, there were still a lot of wet grass clippings on his body.Gu Yuan got up and patted the hem of his clothes, lowered his head to see what tripped him up, and then he saw the corner of a black stone slab protruding from the mud. Because the surrounding grass is extraordinarily lush, it is difficult to find it when you get close. .

Gu Yuan suddenly became suspicious, stepped forward to push aside the grass, and was stunned immediately.

I saw that it was a tombstone, with two simple lines written on it——

Ji Mingda's Tomb

Fang Jin, Li
