Pei Xuan Thinking that Gu Zichu didn't want to see him, his heart suddenly tightened, and he took a deep breath and then exhaled.
Pei Xuan and Gu Zichu grew up together. Even if Huo Chuyun joined later, it could not hide that they have the best relationship.
How did he and Gu Zichu get to where they are now? I remember that night, the two of them were tipsy in the same room, and the atmosphere somehow became very ambiguous.
Pei Xuan likes to drink with various kinds of wine. After half an hour, he was already drunk and stunned. He turned his head and noticed Gu Zichu's well-jointed hand holding the wine glass. Looking up, he saw Gu Zichu's fair and delicate skin.
Pei Xuan remembers the first time he saw Gu Zichu, he thought he was a girl. When he was a child, he always liked to pull Gu Zichu's face because it felt as smooth and tender as Tofu.
Every time Gu Zichu was so angry that he kicked him, Pei Xuan would joke with a playful smile, "Zichu, I wish you were a girl."
Pei Xuan squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Zichu. Gu Zichu's temperament was elegant and easy-going, as if he was born from nature.
Pei Xuan held his head with one hand and tapped Gu Zichu with the other finger, "Tell me, why do you, a grown man, look like an immortal descended from the earth?"
Pei Xuan's head staggered into Gu Zichu's shoulder and neck, muttering, "Zichu, I wish you were a girl."
Gu Zichu was just a little drunk, and silently pushed back Pei Xuan's scratched head, and said calmly, "I am a man."
Pei Xuan didn't respond. After an unknown amount of time, his head that had been hit on the table suddenly lifted up, and he hugged Gu Zichu with a horrified expression, "Zichu, I dreamed that you turned into a girl and got married by someone else! No..."
Gu Zichu turned his head away due to the smell of alcohol in Pei Xuan's mouth, "You said it was a dream..."
"No, no!" Pei Xuan let go of Gu Zichu, stood up and was spinning in circles, "I don't allow it, Zichu, if you become a girl, only I can marry you, and I still dreamed about that little brat kissing you! I haven't even kissed you!"
Gu Zichu looked at Pei Xuan's irritable appearance calmly, "Pei Xuan, are you really drunk or pretending to be drunk?"
Pei Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something through his words, and rushed over to hold Gu Zichu's shoulders excitedly, "Zichu, have you ever kissed anyone else? When that man kissed you, I wanted to rush up and beat him to death!"
"I kiss you, I want to kiss you, okay? You are not allowed to kiss anyone else." Pei Xuan saw that Gu Zichu did not speak. He buried his head on Gu Zichu's shoulder and neck, and kept humping Gu Zichu with his hair, which made Gu Zichu extremely annoyed.
"Kiss you if you want." Gu Zichu was so excited by Pei Xuan that he cursed himself in his heart, just because Pei Xuan was drunk, you bullied him.
Pei Xuan has an impression of what happened next.
Pei Xuan didn't push Zichu away on purpose, he just sobered up and couldn't accept that Zichu was a man.
That night, Gu Zichu fell in love and said that she liked him, but Pei Xuan couldn't accept that his good brother liked him. This moment broke his long-term understanding.
Huo Chuyun and Gu Zichu like boys, and Pei Xuan can accept them optimistically. He respects his brothers' preferences.
But he has always been a straight man and has only dated girls. He cannot accept that he slept with a man. This is inconsistent with his knowledge.
Pei Xuan almost ran away. He knew that he was the one who attacked Gu Zichu first, but only after he was drunk and thought Gu Zichu had turned into a girl, and it was Gu Zichu who liked him first.
Thinking of Gu Zichu in the hospital ward, sitting quietly and thinly on the bed, looking lonely at the flowers and plants outside the window, so fragile that it seemed as if he would be taken away by the breeze in the next second, Gu Zichu was hurt by his words.
Pei Xuan knew that he had to apologize, but he was struggling in his heart. He didn't know how to face Gu Zichu.
Just at this moment, Lin Yufan knocked on the office door, "Mr. Huo, CEO Gu is here."
"Enter." CEO Gu generally refers to Gu Zichu, Huo Chuyun said in a deep voice.
Gu Zichu pushed open the office door and didn't notice the solidification of the atmosphere at all. He just adjusted his glasses, smiled elegantly and easy-going, and handed the document in his hand to Huo Chuyun.
"Brother Huo, I forgot to ask Lingchuan to bring the contract. This document is more important, so I will deliver it in person. You sign it."
Pei Xuan stared blankly at Gu Zichu as if he had never changed, a bit like he was in another world, but this time Gu Zichu ignored him and no longer smiled at him with his eyes bent.
Lu Xingchen greeted Gu Zichu, "Zichu, would you like a cup of milk tea before leaving? The matcha custard I ordered just arrived. It's not too sweet and should suit your taste."
Gu Zichu took the milk tea with a smile, "Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey. To be honest, I haven't had such a sweet drink for a long time, but I have a meeting later. After Brother Huo finishes signing, I have to go back to Gu Corporation."
Lu Xingchen nodded, "Okay, don't worry, Gu Lingchuan can learn something here, Brother Chu and Assistant Lin will teach him well."
Gu Zichu glanced at him gratefully, turned to Gu Lingchuan and told Gu Lingchuan: "Study hard here at Brother Huo. The completion of this project will not only bring huge benefits to Gu Corporation, but you will also benefit a lot."
Gu Lingchuan was called upon by his brother, and he stood aside and listened to the instructions honestly, not being well-behaved, and said, "I understand."
Gu Zichu took the documents signed by Huo Chuyun, opened the office door, and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, his wrist was strangled with a strong force. Gu Zichu turned his head to look and took a deep breath, knowing that it would come when it should come.
Pei Xuan stubbornly refused to let him go and looked at Gu Zichu aggrievedly, "Why are you ignoring me?"
Gu Zichu pulled back his wrist, put it behind his back and rubbed it. He said helplessly to Pei Xuan's inexplicable accusation, "Pei Xuan, let's talk."
The two of them sat down at the coffee shop downstairs from Huo Corporation, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
Gu Zichu glanced at the time and had no choice but to send a message to his assistant to postpone the meeting. He looked up at Pei Xuan, "Pei Xuan, what do you want to say?"
Pei Xuan was filled with emotions for a while, and there were a lot of things to say in his heart, but he couldn't say them out in his neck. He thought for a long time before he finally managed to say, "Zichu, I'm sorry that day. It was my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone and even scolded you..."
"Pei Xuan, I forgive you, do you have anything else to say besides this?" Gu Zichu couldn't help but interrupt him warmly.
Hearing this, Pei Xuan raised his head and looked at Gu Zichu in surprise, "Why are you..."
Gu Zichu picked up the warm water on the table and took a sip, and said with a smile, "Pei Xuan, I know what you want to ask. I was indeed very fragile that day. I'm sorry that I liked you without permission and caused you trouble, but I'm fine."
Pei Xuan's eyes were red, he slammed his fist on the table, and asked, "Why can you just go there casually? I'm the only one who's always worried and regretful!"
Gu Zichu didn't look at Pei Xuan, just looked at the fallen leaves falling outside the window, as if talking to himself.
"In the dead of night, take out your heart and mend it by yourself. Your heart can sleep but your hands can't stop. Do whatever you need to do and keep moving forward despite collapse. This is the cultivation of an adult."
