Became a vicious male mother

139

The man on the sofa narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of masks, landing directly on Gu Xinglan's face.

I've been being watched for a long time.

The more the other person stared at him, the more guilty he felt. Gu Xinglan avoided their gaze by picking up a bowl from the table and said with an awkward smile, "As long as it's not sending me to my death, I will definitely live up to their expectations."

After saying that, he left the room without even turning his head.

Before closing the door, he glanced at the people inside the room.

It appears that Rye Thai-ho is on the phone.

The large room felt somewhat lonely.

With a soft "bang," the door slammed shut, and Gu Xinglan stood at the doorway, staring blankly at the bowl in her hand.

"System, what do you think Li Hetai's father really wants to do?"

System: [This system doesn't know either. Perhaps the host should explore the first hidden storyline.]

"Where would I find the time to meet with Lai Tae-ho while filming a TV show?" Not to mention the hidden storyline.

Looking out the window at the lights, I saw the glow of other people's homes everywhere. Even from a distance, I could see layers upon layers of lights on billboards, as if vying for attention, with red, green, and purple lights reflecting each other, each trying its best to declare its existence.

The Changgu Villa was the only quiet one. Nestled against a small hillside and with an artificial lake, it was as still as a staid old man. The lights were either yellow or white, making it extremely secluded.

As I passed by the restaurant, the long pearwood table was completely empty.

Several plates of steak and soup... have disappeared.

He had done everything he was supposed to do, so even if the dog snatched it away, it wasn't his fault. Gu Xinglan continued walking towards the hall.

hall.

A crystal table surrounded by a genuine leather sofa is covered with layers upon layers of books.

The book was being flipped through idly by the person on the sofa.

"I was wondering why you would like to read this kind of book."

Having already heard the footsteps, Li Yuechang lay on his side on the sofa, propping his head up with his left hand, flipping through the pages a few times with his right hand before throwing the book back onto the pile, and then picking up another book to start flipping through.

They actually found all the books he wanted to read...

Like a stranded fish thrashing its body, yearning to return to the embrace of the ocean, Gu Xinglan's eyes lit up, and the confusion in her heart was immediately relieved. She stood in front of the sofa and took the book from Li Yuechang's hand.

"It's even an autographed copy."

Opening the book's title page, you'll find the signature below the title, in bold, ink-stained handwriting. It's clearly not a standard publisher print, but rather carries the writer's unique, unconventional style. There's even a string of blessings below the signature.

Somewhat surprised, Gu Xinglan stroked the words on it, staring intently at them.

"The more pain you experience, the more joy you feel..." he couldn't help but whisper.

"The smell of decay."

Li Yuechang rolled over, propped his head up with his right hand, chuckled, and looked up at the person who was lost in thought: "These books were obtained through connections, no need to be grateful."

"How much."

He didn't want to measure the power of books in terms of money.

but……

Gu Xinglan took a deep breath, put down the book, and picked up another one.

It's actually a combined version of the author's manuscript and the collector's edition.

He didn't know how this person collected these things.

"Money? I told you, I got it through connections." Li Yuechang didn't seem to care much. He stretched out on the sofa and laughed, "If you feel bad about it, why don't you come with me for a drink?"

"……it is good."

Surprisingly, the person actually agreed.

Li Yuechang paused, raised his eyebrows, and sat up from the sofa, snatching the book from the other person's hand with a "whoosh": "Do you still remember the conditions you proposed to me?"

After saying that, he tossed the rather heavy object in his hand.

But upon seeing the person's appearance, the words he wanted to say immediately stuck in his throat.

After all, she looked like she was about to cry.

The person in the pile of books wanted to touch and look at them carefully, but when their hand hovered just inches away, they slowly lowered it, their movements cautious, as if afraid of desecrating the books.

Especially his eyes, which were sparkling, and upon closer inspection, they were actually full of water droplets.

Suddenly, Li Yuechang felt the book in his hands was burning hot.

"Let's go, let's drink!" It was almost dazzling. These books were not only well preserved, but some even had the authors' own reading notes. Gu Xinglan flipped through one of them, and after reading only half a page, she couldn't help but want to immerse herself in the sea of ​​books all night long.

I was so excited I almost burst into tears!

He looked at Li Yuechang sitting on the sofa.

Seeing the other person's stunned expression, he quickly wiped his face and adjusted his expression: "I'm sorry, I got too excited."

"No need. I like people like you because you know how to repay kindness." Li Yuechang laughed as he recovered.

The atmosphere was a bit strange.

Do you have any snacks to go with your drinks?

Gu Xinglan stepped out of the pile of books, found a large cloth to cover the books, and said, "There's beef in the refrigerator, we can roast some beef."

"No need, the takeout arrived a long time ago."

Before Gu Xinglan knew it, she had finished covering herself with the cloth, and behind her stood Li Yuechang, carrying wine and takeout boxes, looking extremely excited.

System: [Host, you have six hours left to survive.]

As the electronic voice in her mind faded, Gu Xinglan's smile froze.

"Weren't we going to drink? Aren't you coming or not!"

Li Yuechang was already standing at the entrance of the passage, urging in his voice.

outside.

The crescent moon hanging high in the sky has become a half-moon, nestled in the clouds, reminiscent of a woman playing the pipa with her face partially veiled.

After drinking the wine, Li Yuechang's whole body turned red, his face and ears were flushed, and he ate three skewers in one gulp, with oil all around his mouth.

"Eat up, why aren't you eating?"

A skewer of grilled meat was held to his lips. Gu Xinglan hesitated, looking at the sizzling oil on the skewer. He wanted to find a tissue, but the other person had already shoved the skewer under his lips.

I ate one piece, and it was so spicy it almost made me question my existence.

Gu Xinglan suppressed her burning mouth and quickly took a sip of beer.

System: [Is this my last meal before I die?]

"Burp." He wanted to spit at the system, but the beer bubbles went straight into his nasal cavity, and he burped several times in a row.

"Li Yuechang, I can't go on."

He drank two bottles and ate a few skewers; now all he wants to do is finish his playtime and find a place to sleep.

"Want to go?"

Li Yuechang downed a bottle of liquor, then crushed the can and threw it on the road where he left.

It almost hit his toes.

It's obvious the people on the beach chairs did it on purpose.

He looked helplessly at the person in the chair, only to find that the flush on the other person's face had faded.

"Fine, fine, go ahead and leave. Nobody wants to hear your spoilsport talk."

There was still a bottle of gin on the table, but now only half a bottle remained. Li Yue smacked his lips, turned his back, held the bottle high, and swallowed a mouthful.

Seeing this, Gu Xinglan tentatively went out.

He has very little time left, and if he had enough time, he would definitely be here drinking, eating meat, and enjoying the moon.

but……

There was a loud "plop" behind me.

Startled, he quickly turned his head away.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, the figure swam frantically on the water's surface, then suddenly leaped upwards, revealing half of its body, splashing water everywhere.

crazy.

He won't go along with this guy's drunken antics.

Night completely enveloped the departing figures, leaving only those in the pool who had exhausted themselves.
