Thick padded jackets were forcibly draped over people's bodies. The sticky skin, the heat of breathing, and the sweat-soaked locks of hair on the forehead... make up those disturbing memories.

      . But Liu Xu didn't seem to notice her troubles, she still flew freely, and fell on the girl's black hair.

    She was undecided, jumping and beckoning to the person in the distance, the blushing heat on her face made her eyes wet.

    Gu Zhixing carried a schoolbag on one shoulder, slender white fingers in his pockets, and looked at her from a distance. Under the bright sun, black hair and black eyes, fair skin, and a clear and shallow coldness infiltrated the bottom of his eyes.

    The girl was even happier when she saw her, and ran on tiptoe to meet the crowd.

    She said, "Xing, are you really coming to pick me up from school?"

    Gu Zhixing did not speak, picked up the schoolbag with one hand and threw it into her arms, and the heavy object hit her stomach.

    Almost instantly, her complexion turned pale, her thin eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

    She looked at Gu Zhixing blankly and helplessly, "You—"

    Gu Zhixing said: "I don't care about your careful thoughts. I don't blame you for what you did to Guan Mingyue before. But after that, if she has anything to do at school, I will come to you directly. I understand. ?"

    The girl opened her mouth, her wide eyes were full of hurt and anger, and the circles of her eyes were even redder.

    Gu Zhixing said: "I'm done talking, let's go first."

    She turned away.

    The girl's body trembled slightly, and at the gate of the campus where people came and went, she held back her tears.

    "Um, how are you?"

    When the girl looked up, she saw a smiling face first.

    His black eyes curled, the smile on his mouth was a little embarrassing, and his voice was cautious.

    Is A Hang's friend.

    She looked at him vigilantly, "Gu Zhixing humiliated me, you have to come to humiliate me, for Guan Mingyue?"

    Zhou Ruyao made an "uh" sound, and approached: "No, I want to say, Ah Xing just pretended to force his schoolbag and forgot to take it, can you give me the schoolbag?"

    The girl heard the words, looked down at the schoolbag still in her arms, then looked at him again, getting more and more embarrassed, and threw the schoolbag on Zhou Ruyao, "Get out!"

    Zhou Ruyao took the schoolbag, scratched his head, smiling brightly, "Hahahaha, I'll go, I'll go, bye."

    As soon as he turned around and trotted, he breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the tree at the corner of the school entrance.

    Zhou Ruyao was helpless, "Can you not—"

    "If I don't ask you, are you not going to tell me?"

    Gu Zhixing's tone was not good.

    Zhou Ruyao tilted his head and glanced at him. Behind the tree, Gu Zhixing leaned against the tree and looked at Guan Mingyue in front of him.

    Guan Mingyue was silent for a long time, and after a long time, she looked up at Gu Zhixing, "You can ignore it, anyway, our engagement is terminated."

    Gu Zhixing was a little irritable, "There is no necessary connection between these two things, and you know that we cannot and cannot continue the marriage contract, you are just confused for a while your own feelings."

    Guan Mingyue: "You still use the word confusion."

    Gu Zhixing: "I am a school bully, not an illiterate."

    Guan Mingyue: "Is there a difference?"

    Gu Zhixing: "School masters can be promoted to president with hard work."

    Guan Mingyue: "Mmmm."

    Gu Zhixing: "…"

    Gu Zhixing sighed and said in a low voice, "You don't want to rely on your family, but you can't solve these things yourself, I don't know what's the point of your persistence." He added, " In addition to the girl, I have also greeted a few people in your school, I will send you the contact information later, you can find them if you have anything."

    "Our engagement." Guan Mingyue stared at her toes, she was silent for a long time, then asked: "Ah Xing, why not?"

    Gu Zhixing's eyes became colder, his thin lips parted slightly, "Yes, but I don't need it anymore."

    Guan Mingyue pursed her lips and fluttered her eyelashes like a trembling butterfly, "Why?"

    "Because it was exploited. From the beginning to the present."

    Gu Zhixing looked down at her, eyes like ink.

    Guan Mingyue's face at this moment was the same as the girl at the school gate just now.

    But because the person in front of her is Guan Mingyue, one of her childhood friends, so at this moment, Gu Zhixing felt an extremely small pity in her heart, and this pity drove her to pour out the truth. horn.

    "Mingyue, you are very smart, so you should think about it, why did a steady stream of illegitimate children come to Gu's family to get the shares after my father died? Why is my mother so generous without standing firm? And why, I suddenly want to find a marriage partner, why do we have a marriage contract? Finally, why did we reach a deep cooperation with the Gu family even though the marriage contract was not finalized?"

    Why...?

    Guan Mingyue's thoughts are confused, but all the related possibilities are continuously searched in her mind.

    The person in charge of the Gu family passed away not long ago.

    Gu's mistress was determined to be in power.

    The Gu family has indeed had illegitimate children in recent years.

    …

    Guan Mingyue was stunned, and spit out a somewhat jerky word, "Power vacuum?"

    Gu Zhixing gave a rare smile, although he said it was a smile, he just cocked the corner of his mouth.

    At this moment, Guan Mingyue's heart is like falling to the bottom of the sea.

      Gu Zhixing was intentional, whether the appearance of an illegitimate child or the separation of powers in the Gu family... All because they wanted to take away the right of inheritance and make the Gu family into a mess. But it's not enough, it's not enough, all of this is far from reaching Gu Zhixing's ideal, so there is the extra weight of the marriage contract...

    From the very beginning, it was an inheritance game.

    Guan Mingyue's eyes were dark, and there was almost no blood on her face.

     Their conversation rang in her ear again.

    "Because it was exploited. From the beginning to the present."

    The narration of the public release is too early for Gu Zhixing.

    Fortunately, without waiting for Gu Zhixing to answer, Zhou Jue asked first, "What are you talking about?"

    Li Hanshan and Zhou Ruyao didn't know what to say for a while, but Gu Zhixing changed the subject, "Is that girl waiting for you? She seems to be waving at you."

    Zhou Jue looked over and saw Guan Mingyue smiling brightly and waving her hand not far away.

    He narrowed his left eye slightly.

    This is his habit when he is confused.

    Zhou Jue rubbed the strap of her schoolbag with her hand, and her footsteps were unhurried.

    In many secret or bold eyes, he chatted with Guan Mingyue like no one else, his straight and loose back was slightly curved.

    He lowered his head slightly and listened with his eyes lowered, while Guan Mingyue raised his head, his black eyes shone with light, and he smiled happily.

    Gu Zhixing quietly watched the gestures of their conversation, his face was as cold as frost.

    "So the voice just now was—" Li Hanshan smiled and said softly, "Your conversation with Guan Mingyue?"

    Zhou Ruyao said: "Why is this thing released to the public?"

    Gu Zhixing said, "Maybe I forgot to turn off the team voice?"

    Zhou Ruyao: "It makes sense."

    Li Hanshan's black eyes were sharp, staring at Gu Zhixing, "If you don't want to say it, I can guess."

    Gu Zhixing blinked and tilted his head, "Then guess."

    Li Hanshan: "...you."

    He looked away, "Forget it."

    Zhou Ruyao is like a large dog, his whole body is leaning on Gu Zhixing, his head is swaying against Gu Zhixing's head, "Guan Mingyue looks at a good girl, you said Zhou Why is Jue so unfeeling?"

    As he was talking, he saw that Zhou Jue and Guan Mingyue had ended their conversation and parted ways.

    Zhou Jue came over and said, "Let's go."

    Gu Zhixing said: "She is?"

    Zhou Jue: "My ex-fiancée was just asking me where I live and if I have time to go out together."

    Li Hanshan: "Did you agree?"

    Zhou Jue: "None of your business."

    Li Hanshan: “…”

    Gu Zhixing patted Li Hanshan on the shoulder soothingly, "The way you asked is wrong, I'll teach you."

    Li Hanshan raised his eyebrows.

    Gu Zhixing looked at Zhou Jue, "Did you agree, why?"

    "No." Zhou Jue said frankly and earnestly: "Because I don't want to."

    Zhou Ruyao rolled his eyes.

    Gu Zhixing looked at Li Hanshan, "It's like this."

    Li Hanshan: "...? Is there a difference?"

    Gu Zhixing nodded to him like a compliment, "You did a good job, if you don't like her, don't leave room for her. Otherwise, it will only cause more harm. ."

    Zhou Jue's black eyes became firm.

    Li Hanshan: “…”

    What.

    Guan Mingyue is a very tenacious person. In less than a week, she has forcibly established a relationship with Li Hanshan and Gu Zhixing, and listens to Zhou Jue's news at any time.

    Because the three of them insisted on Gu Zhixing's wish of "not wanting to hurt her again", they also tirelessly taught Zhou Jue how to reject Guan Mingyue, and even the method of rejecting her.

    But Guan Mingyue was unmoved, still showing her gentle but firm personality everywhere.

    Gu Zhixing herself began to reflect on whether it was because she cared too much about Guan Mingyue's own feelings, and the methods she taught Zhou Jue were too gentle. Guan Mingyue burst into tears. appeared in front of her.

    The afternoon sun shone on the grass, giving off the rotten smell.

    Gu Zhixing came out of the campus cafeteria and suddenly bumped into Guan Mingyue, who was squatting beside the flower bed, covering her face and crying.

    Her shoulders were shaking, her eyes were crimson, and her lips were dry and wrinkled.

    Gu Zhixing moved his fingers, walked over and patted her shoulder, "Are you okay?"

    Guan Mingyue shrank, looked up at her, tears in her eyes like broken pearls.

    A very familiar scene.

    She met many times because she was the one behind the scenes.

    Gu Zhixing lowered his eyes, stood beside her, and said nothing.

    After a while, Guan Mingyue said: "Does Zhou Jue hate me so much? I don't understand, why is this? Even if you don't like me, you don't want to spend time cultivating our relationship. As for not living a shabby life here even with my dad's support?"

    Gu Zhixing, who lives a shabby life, is a little complicated.

    She paused and looked at Guan Mingyue, as if looking at another person through her, "He's not worth it."

    Guan Mingyue glared at her suddenly, her eyes reddened and her fists clenched, "He deserves it! Because I like it, he deserves it!"

    Gu Zhixing: "…"

    Speak for you, why are you still killing me.

    After Guan Mingyue finished speaking, her firm eyes became more and more blurred, and tears came to her eyes again.

    She had almost no strength to cry, and her voice became hoarse, "Maybe I don't deserve it, I don't deserve to be liked, I don't deserve to be cared for, I don't deserve to be cared about."

    Guan Mingyue is not favored in the Guan family, her fate seems to be doomed from the moment she was born and determined to be a girl.

    Her intelligence and gentleness were not acquired through teaching, but learned from the neglect of the family and the exclusion of her unique personality.

    Guan Mingyue is not a cold moon hanging in the sky, but a fragile phantom projected by the pond.

    "The final result of the zero-sum game is forever - the winner dominates and the loser is eaten. And Guan Mingyue's chances of winning the game are very large, as long as she wins, there can be tens of millions of The method drives Zhou Jue to love her, isn't this the happiness you want her to get?"

    Li Hanshan's voice resounded in his head.

    Power is the eternal preservative. It's not that hard to fall in love with each other, as long as you want to.

    Gu Zhixing thought that maybe Li Hanshan was right.

    She gently touched the head of Xiaguan Mingyue and said, "You are worth it."

    Guan Mingyue's eyes were slightly red, "Really? Then why Zhou Jue..."

    Gu Zhixing: "Don't worry."

    At the door of the small shop, Zhou Ruyao looked at the students coming and going, and sighed, "It seems to be making some money."

    Li Hanshan smiled and said: "If you are detained, we have no ability to bail you."

    "You can't even talk about it, you're really boring." Zhou Ruyao yawned, "Why hasn't Ah Xing come yet? Is it so hard to find a meal card?"

    They didn't take a few steps after eating when they heard Gu Zhixing say that the meal card was left in the cafeteria.

    Zhou Jue looked at the phone, and after a few seconds, said: "Guan Mingyue sent me a message again."

     

     

    Zhou Jue said, "Wait for Ah Xing."

    "Oh, can you leave A Xing to be independent?" Zhou Ruyao was yin and yang strange, "How did you live until now before A Xing? Do you rely on your thoughts?"

    Li Hanshan covered his ears, "Don't make noise—"

    He looked up and said, "Axing is here."

    The two stopped arguing immediately and looked over.

    Li Hanshan said: "It's just right for you to come, Guan Mingyue sent a message to Zhou Jue."

    Gu Zhixing looked at Zhou Jue, "What did you send?"

    Zhou Jue: "Ask me to play ball on Saturday."

    Li Hanshan said: "How about making up classes on Saturday?"

    Zhou Ruyao: "I think it's better to play games with us on Saturday."

    Li Hanshan: "Axing, why don't you speak?"

    Gu Zhixing: "Ajue, you said, you are willing to be engaged to her."

    Zhou Jue: “…”

    Li Hanshan: "...???"

    Zhou Ruyao: "...?? Wait??"

    Zhou Jue hesitated for a few seconds and looked at Gu Zhixing.

    Gu Zhixing: "Promise her engagement, get the support of the Guan family, and get the inheritance rights of the Zhou family, can you do it?"

    Zhou Jue: "Why?"

    Gu Zhixing: "I need you to do it."

    Zhou Jue: “…”

    He was silent for a few seconds, pursed his thin lips, lowered his head and started sending a message.

    Zhou Ruyao stretched out his fingers and covered his mouth slightly, almost overflowing with laughter.

    Li Hanshan was greatly shocked, and grabbed Zhou Jue, "Wait, no, there should be other ways to do this? No..."

    Gu Zhixing held Li Hanshan's shoulders, his black eyes frowned, "Isn't this your idea?"

    Li Hanshan: "...You didn't say you wanted to adopt it? And why now? Suddenly?"

    At the moment when Li Hanshan was talking to Gu Zhixing, Zhou Jue had put down his phone.

    Zhou Jue's eyes were pure and serious, and he said, "It's over."

    Li Hanshan: “…”

    Huh? ah? Why?
