bad derailment

I may never have seen through Jiang Qiushi.

He is gentle, humble, and courteous, as if he has gathered all the advantages that I am interested in.But in the end, it seems that what he showed has always been limited to this, without a single step beyond.

Can a person really be perfect without any negative emotions?

Even if the opponent is Jiang Qiushi, I'm not sure.He concealed a lot about himself and his family, perhaps it should not be called "concealment", but the cunning scheming of adults.He wasn't active, but he wasn't passive either. This relationship I thought I was pursuing was out of my control from the very beginning.

The phone rang, and it was Gu Mingsheng asking if I was home.The above one is a text message I sent half an hour ago to remind him to cooperate with me no matter what I say later.

Fortunately, Gu Mingsheng has always stood by my side, this may be the only thing that can give me some comfort now.

I sat up from the sofa, replied that he was home, and asked how Chen Feng was doing, but I didn't receive Gu Mingsheng's reply for a long time.Just when I was hesitating whether to call or not, the doorbell was suddenly rang.

Unexpectedly and within reason, it was Gu Mingsheng who came.

"...I'm sorry to trouble you, but I have to send him here at such a late hour."

I took Chen Feng who was still in a coma, and said apologetically.

Gu Mingsheng stood at the door, with a half-smile in his eyes, "Xiao Yao, now I can explain, why did I have an extra roommate for no reason?"

For the second time tonight, he teased in this contemptuous tone, as if he had seen everything without any explanation, but still wanted me to show the helpless expression he wanted to see.

"When I was going to pick up Chen Feng, I accidentally ran into Jiang Qiushi. He offered to take me home. Later... I don't know why it happened."

I pursed my lips in a complicated way, and didn't say any more.

It seems that from the beginning to the end, Jiang Qiushi has firmly controlled my every move.He clearly knew that I would not reject him, so he pushed me into this dilemma step by step.

Gu Mingsheng crossed his arms, lowered his eyes thoughtfully, "Did he propose to send Chen Feng here?"

"I..." I lowered my head and rubbed the center of my brows, and said incoherently, "I said I could take Chen Feng home, but Jiang Qiushi thought you were roommates and insisted on sending him back. But... ..but no, he obviously already knew about my relationship with Chen Feng, I don't even know when he knew about it, but he still..."

Under the premise of knowing the relationship between me and Chen Feng, Jiang Qiushi didn't show the slightest disturbance from the beginning to the end, and even accompanied me to finish a ridiculous scene... Why on earth did he do this?

Did he do it on purpose?

Gu Mingsheng closed the door and walked into the room. He smiled unsurprisingly: "I said earlier that your Mr. Jiang is not as modest and gentleman as he appears on the surface, but you didn't believe me at that time."

I could have refuted Gu Mingsheng decisively, but at this moment I couldn't even utter a single line of defense.I finally knew that he was not wrong, the wrong person has always been me.

I silently put Chen Feng down on the sofa, sat down and took a sip of water, only to find that it was half cold in my throat, I could only put it back with a frown, always feeling that everything was so unsatisfactory.

Gu Mingsheng went to the kitchen, and when he came back, he naturally poured hot water into my cup, as if the host and guest had changed in an instant, I whispered 'thank you' without looking up at him.

He didn't care, he sat next to me with his legs bent, and the third man was squeezed into the narrow sofa.Chen Feng fell asleep in the back, and Gu Mingsheng's intrusion at close range made me feel uncomfortable for a moment, but in the end I still didn't distance myself from him.

"Xiao Yao," warm palms held the back of my head and rubbed gently, "Jiang Qiushi is not suitable for you, he is very dangerous and has deceived you too much, do you really think that he is still the innocent girl you thought he was? Teacher?"

I held the cup tightly, "He's not that kind of person, what happened tonight was just an accident."

"Accident? Is it an accident that he accompanied other women to the aquarium?"

"He was going out to play with a relative's child that day, and that woman is the child's mother and also his relative."

"Did he tell you that, relative?" Gu Mingsheng lowered his head and laughed a few times when he heard it, and slammed into my heart, "It seems that he is a little worse than I imagined."

Gu Mingsheng's words were not malicious, just a simple and straightforward sigh, but it was like the sharpest weapon piercing my persistence all the time.

"Okay," I avoided his touch, got up and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Thank you tonight, you can go back first."

Gu Mingsheng still maintained the action just now, and he didn't seem to react.He looked up at me, frowning, showing a bit of trembling worry.

"Xiao Yao."

"Don't worry, I'm not angry. I'm just a little tired. We'll talk about these things another day. Now I want to go to rest."

I didn't say anything more, turned and walked into the bedroom.The footsteps behind me gradually approached, and when I opened the closet, a pair of arms suddenly encircled my body from behind, and the warmth that belonged to Gu Mingsheng stuck to my back.

My movements froze there, and my ears and temples pressed against the hot and humid breath, which penetrated into the subcutaneous along the trembling skin.

"Sorry, I just don't want to see you getting too deep in Jiang Qiushi's place."

Gu Mingsheng's voice was very slow and soft.

"You have to distinguish between your heartbeat and your liking. If it's the former, you can withdraw at any time, but if it's the latter, you are the only one who suffers. I don't want to see you wasting your emotions on impossible people. He can leave at any time and let it go. Erjing, but you can't, it's too unfair to you."

"Gu Mingsheng, I'm not like you, I only look at the ultimate benefit in everything." I was unmoved, but I didn't push him away either. "I will find out what kind of person he is."

There was silence in my ears for a long time, and then I heard Gu Mingsheng say clearly, "Xiao Yao, you like him."

From this angle, I can't see Gu Mingsheng's expression clearly, I can only judge his mood at the moment from this simple and firm statement.

Plain, this may be the most normal emotion for others, but it is not for Gu Mingsheng.The overly calm words came out of his mouth more like some kind of dangerous signal, and I slightly tightened the hand placed by my side.

"Of course I like him. If I didn't, I wouldn't take the risk of being discovered by Chen Feng to do these things."

I turned around, left Gu Mingsheng's arms calmly, and repeated, "You should go."

He looked down at me, his amber pupils were a little darker than usual, as if they were dyed by some dark color, outlining a darker emotion, and fixed me in place, accepting the aggression of his gaze, And gently caress the dry palm on the cheek.

"Why do you like him?"

Gu Mingsheng asked a question without any nourishment, with the most serious expression.

"Why do you ask this?" I was a little surprised and looked at him amusedly, "I am a very superficial person, I like Jiang Qiushi's face, his character, and the feeling of staying with him, it's that simple .”

"Is it just this?"

"Just this."

After a while, the corners of Gu Mingsheng's lips slightly curved upwards, but it didn't look like a smile at all.He said: "Your likes are so ever-changing. One second it could be someone else, and the next second it's Jiang Qiushi. I was worried just now. It might be his misfortune to fall in love with you."

"Is there anyone like you who speaks bad things about people in person?" I twitched my brows and retorted, "I just like him. Where did you say 'others'?"

This unintentional remark seemed to have a different meaning to Gu Mingsheng.He looked at me deeply and quietly, and lightly rubbed his thumb over the skin of his cheek, which was slightly hot.I held my breath subconsciously, and didn't avoid his approach. Just a second before his lips were about to touch, he paused, raised his hand to brush away the broken hair on my forehead, and printed a faint kiss on it.

"Feel sorry."

I was stunned and didn't know how to react, I could only hear his regretful sigh in my ear.

"It just occurred to me that there used to be my place."
