Gu Yixin was extremely ashamed. But Lu Mingshi still insisted on reading him ten hot searches on Weibo.

 

Lu Mingshi logged out of Weibo and put down his mobile phone. He finally said feeling deeply moved “I have never liked Uncle Wang. When I was a child, I thought that he was weird. When I grew up, I was scared that he would always try to pull me into his shows for cameos.”

“Now I have changed my outlook on him a little bit.”

Gu Yixin was lying on his back on the roof, with his hands crossed behind his head, holding a Setaria viridis1How did ya get it from the roof? *suspicious in his mouth and looking at the moon in a daze.

He was not in a good mood and asked casually, “Why?”

Lu Mingshi whispered, “He has completely recorded your appearance from the age of eighteen.”

Lu Mingshi looked at Gu Yixin’s side face. The moonlight fell on his face, reflecting a hazy halo.

When looking at this face alone, the youthfulness of the young man has not been taken off. But when you look face to face with him, his eyes can suck you in.

Those were not like a pair of eyes that a person of this age should have.

He looked at Gu Yixin, sometimes in a daze. Is this person really the child he saw in his childhood?

For so many years, Lu Mingshi had always regarded Gu Yixin as a little attendant who depended on the protection of the Lu family for survival, as a little tail that could not be thrown off, and in the end, he could only accept his existence.

“Mr. Lu.” Gu Yixin yawned under his gaze, “Should we go back to sleep?”

Lu Ming nodded. It was time to go back and br**stfeed the child.

As a result, the two walked to the edge of the eaves and were dumbfounded.

Where’s the ladder?

Lu Mingshi took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.

“It must have been moved away by the security guards who patrol during the night. They must not have known that we are up here.”

“……”

Lu Mingshi looked at the phone. The battery was on less than 1%. The screen apologetically dimmed down, and it turned off automatically.

Gu Yixin leaned on the edge of the eaves and glanced down.

This height was of course nothing to Gu Yixin, who was accustomed to parkour.

“You stay on top and don’t move around. I’ll go find a ladder for you to come over.”

Gu Yixin said.

Lu Mingshi’s eyes widened.

“No.” Lu Mingshi obviously didn’t understand what Gu Yixin meant, “How will you get down without a ladder?”

Gu Yixin, “Of course, by jumping down.”

Lu Mingshi was extremely frightened and grabbed Gu Yixin’s arm.

“No, no, no. This is not good.”

Gu Yixian comforted him, “Don’t worry. There is no problem with such a little height.”

But Lu Mingshi didn’t release him after saying anything. He pulled his hand, and repeatedly said:

“No. It’s really dangerous. Our Jiujin is only a little old. I can’t bear the risk of losing you for even a bit.”

When Lu Mingshi said this, he was truly sincere. There wasn’t any faking at all, and he was not at all hesitant.

He was telling the truth. But as long as he said the truth, it sounded like a confession.

 

Gu Yixin was actually a bit moved. He repeatedly assured Lu Mingshi that he would be fine. Such a height was really nothing difficult.

Lu Mingshi skeptically loosened his hands slightly.

Gu Yixin seized the opportunity to press him down to sit on the ground and jumped down with a leap of his legs.

Lu Mingshi’s heart was cold, and the moment Gu Yixin disappeared under the eaves, he remembered Wei Junshan who had stumbled and fallen down from the edge of the roof of Director Wang’s house at that time.

This…… Although the terrace from here was definitely not as high as falling directly from the third floor, there were no cushions below!

He hurriedly leaned forward from the side and looked down, fearing that he would see a human-shaped pit on the ground in a large shape.

The phone was dead, and he couldn’t even call an ambulance right away.……

Fortunately, what Lu Mingshi was worried about did not happen, and Gu Yixin stood there being perfectly all right.

“Almost forgot.” Gu Yixin took off his coat and threw it up, “It’s quite cold at night. Don’t catch a cold.”

“I’ll be back.”

Gu Yixin left this sentence and turned his head to find the ladder.

But he heard Lu Mingshi call out to him.

“Don’t bother.”

Lu Mingshi looked at the ground and became bold, “It seems that this height is not that high, so I can directly jump down too.”

As he spoke, he eagerly took off his cotton-padded slippers.

“Don’t.”

This made Gu Yixin to be scared out of his wits. Moreover, he couldn’t stop Lu Mingshi like Lu Mingshi did just then by grabbing him. After all, he had already jumped down.

Gu Yixin fiercely dissuaded, “No, Mr. Lu, You can’t jump.”

“Hmm? Why?”

Lu Mingshi twisted his neck and loosened the joints of his hands and feet.

He felt that his exercise volume has always been maintained very well, and his physical strength had always been very good. Since his husband could jump, so could he.

Gu Yixin really wanted to explain the principle of the pony crossing the river2A Little Horse Crossing the River
There are an old horse and a little horse on a farm. One day the old horse asks the little horse to send the wheat to the mill. The little horse is very happy. He carries the wheat and runs toward the mill. But there is a river in front of the little horse. He stops and does not know what to do next. Just then Aunt Cow is passing by.
The little horse asks, “Aunt Cow, please tell me. Can I cross the river ” Aunt Cow answers, “It is not deep, you can cross it?”
When the little horse begins to cross the river, a little squirrel shouts at him, “Little horse, don’t cross it, you will be drowned. Yesterday one of my friends was drowned in this river.” The little horse is very afraid. Finally, he decides to go home and ask his mother. The old horse asks, “Why do you take the wheat back What’s wrong with you My child.”
The little horse answers sadly, “There is a river in front of me. Aunt Cow said it was not deep. But the little squirrel said it was deep. What shall I do ”
The old horse says, “My child, you should try to cross the river by yourself. If you do not try, how do you know the river is deep or not ”
The little horse carries the wheat and returns to the riverside. At last, he succeeds in crossing the river. Now, he knows how deep the river is. to Lu Mingshi. But he was also scared that he would jump down before he finish speaking this time.

If he doesn’t react well at that time, he wouldn’t be able to catch.

“In short, no.”

Are you kidding? Our Jiujin is only a bit old. Can I let the baby lose his father?

In a hurry, Gu Yixin’s tone of voice unconsciously carried a bit of implication of a command.

 

 

“Be good and listen to me.”

WTF.

This somewhat S tone of voice aroused the M spirit that was hidden deep in Lu Mingshi’s heart3You naughty naughty~.

The face of Gu Yixin in front of him gradually coincided with the face of the male lead in the TV series.

Lu Mingshi sat cross-legged on the edge of the eaves and used a kind of unfathomable tone to unhurriedly say, “Okay, you go.”

Gu Yixin was still a little suspicious.

Lu Mingshi said, “Don’t worry. I can’t stand up for even a bit now.”

So Gu Yixin finally left at ease to carry the ladder.

The baby flipped his thighs uneasily in the cradle and then continued to have a deep sleep, knowing nothing about the episode that happened to his two fathers.

It was a thrilling and beautiful night.

Gu Yixin might have had an indissoluble relationship with the roof in the past two days.

He got off a little late the next day. The road was catching up with the evening rush. So even if you take the bus, it would be very slow.

Gu Yixin stood at the bus stop and waited for a while. He found that more and more people were gathering to wait for the bus, while the bus was late.

While waiting for the bus that haven’t arrived, the people in the surroundings began to frequently pay attention to him.

This mysterious gentleman with a peaked cap on his head and a mask on his face was in excellent shape and had a very otherworldly and refined temperament. He was like a little idol who had sneaked out to go shopping.

Gu Yixin discovered that someone was filming him with a mobile phone, and finally decided not to wait.

He climbed to the lamppost to observe the long traffic on the road, and visually estimated that the situation of traffic congestion will not alleviate in a short while.

Gu Yixin decided to walk home on his own feet.

Of course, Gu Yixin’s walking was a little different in meaning from that of an ordinary person’s walking.

He was walking on the roof.

Jumping from one roof to another. He cheerfully glided, jumped, and ran.

This reminded him of some cartoons he watched on on-demand channels when he was a child, such as the Cat’s Eye, the Saint Tail, and the like.

Those who walk on the roofs of the city are all heroes of the city.

After walking like this for more than 20 minutes, he bumped into another group of people on the roof.

Gu Yixin stood facing eastward with his hands behind his back, facing a whole group of menacing A, B, C, and D in front of him.

These people didn’t look like they were coming from a good place.

Did I provoke anyone again?

Gu Yixin thought deeply and asked politely.

“What do you heroes want from me?”

Everyone was originally looking straight at him But when they heard this question, they actually took a step back at the same time.

Only hitman Z who was a half-beat slow in reacting, wasn’t able to step back in time. So he had to bite the bullet and look at Gu Yixin’s kind eyes in front of him.

Gu Yixin felt that he [GY] was extremely courteous, and he indeed have very thorough manners. But these people had already been deeply brainwashed by his various heroic deeds, coupled with the lively and realistic descriptions of the middleman.……

 

In the eyes of this group of pitiful hitmen, Gu Yixin, who has all along been smiling in front of their eyes, was no longer a good young man of the society who was temperate, kind, courteous, restrained, and magnanimous.

Rather he was a wolf in sheepskin. The Great Devil King who ate hitmen.

Hitman Z was a middle-aged man with a stubbly beard, who looked quite careless. He looked at the expression of Gu Yixin and said, trembling with fear:

“Our, our, our, our boss is looking for you to say some, some, something to you.”

Gu Yixin looked around, but he didn’t see anyone who looked like a boss.

“The boss is going to be late for a while be, because he is occupied with something. So he let us come and chat with you first.”

Hitman Z added.

So Gu Yixin asked patiently, “What’s the matter?”

“This requires, requires, requires our boss to come and tell you in person. We are all just the boss’s bodyguards. We don’t understand anything.”

Hitman Z lowered his head and didn’t dare to lift it up. He was different from the other brothers. Most of the people in this business were the ones who have chosen to follow a solitary path4one who is cut off from others (idiom) / one who has chosen to follow a solitary path / (can also be an indirect way of referring to an unmarried person). He was the only one who was dragged down by having a family to feed.

He had already written the suicide note before he came. But he couldn’t help but feel cowardly when he saw the Great Devil King himself.

Okay. Gu Yixin was not in a hurry. He just wanted to get this matter resolved sooner.

As you might know, the production capacity of the construction site has been surplus these days.

Five minutes later, the boss finally appeared.

Gu Yixin stared at this tall, thin, middle-aged man who looked as if he lacked the strength to even truss a chicken5Weak.

“This gentleman, I don’t seem to have seen you before. Let alone offending you. In the end, why do you have to make life difficult for me? Please give me a good reason.”

Of course, the one who appeared was not the Gambling King, but the person who takes orders.

The person who takes orders waved his hand again and again, “Young hero, you6He always uses the polite “You” while talking to GY have misunderstood. I am not the person who wants to harm you.”

“I dissuaded that person, but he obstinately persisted in going about things the wrong way and insisted on getting rid of the young hero quickly. I don’t want to fight you anymore. You have caused me to lose twelve superb hitmen in a row. It’s indeed a tragedy. It’s indeed a tragedy…….”

The person who takes orders sighed endlessly and shook his head repeatedly. Yesterday, hitman L finally proposed to him about quitting the job. The hitman organization was about to die.

Accompanied by the words of the person who takes orders, the hitmen around them also showed uneasiness with their lips and teeth shivering.

Gu Yixin raised a question, “No matter who that person is, shouldn’t you be able to refuse him?”

The person who takes orders smiled, “You think about it carefully. When his wish to kill you is so strong and he is so rich, even if we don’t take the order, he will still find someone else.”

The person who takes orders seriously said, “I have a proposal that can end all this and let both of us get benefits.”

Gu Yixin looked at him suspiciously, “You’re not gonna say that you want me to fake my death, live incognito with a fake identity, and live in another place, right? Then you tell him that I am dead and let him pay the balance. Then we’ll each have half, right?”

The recipient choked.

That’s really what he thought – except for the each will have a half part.

After all, according to his idea, as long as the target was given 10%, it was almost the same.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him simply rejected him.

“No need.”

Gu Yixin stared at this group of hitmen in front of him. Each of them was known for making people hear the wind and lose gall7terror-stricken at the news. But Gu Yixin looked at them with a slight pity in his eyes.

They were just killing machines who have lost the ability to conduct themselves.

 

 

The person who takes orders was unwilling to give up, “Do you want to think about it carefully. I think this condition is still……”

“No need to discuss.”

Gu Yixin indifferently said, “I have a good life under my current name. I have a happy family, a happy life, and smooth work. I have no plans of becoming another person at present.”

“Moreover even if you sum up every one of you, you still can’t beat me.”

Gu Yixin’s gaze swept over the faces of the hitmen one by one and proudly said, “Even if you all come together, what is there for me to fear?”

En? It feels a bit familiar when I say this line?

Gu Yixin pondered for half a second.

The person who takes orders also felt it to be very familiar.

Oh, that’s right. Isn’t this what Qiao Feng said in the assembly of the young heroes?

Thinking of the tragic ending of the assembly of the young heroes, the hitmen looked at each other and took a step back one after another.

Including hitman Z this time.

But the group of hitmen forgot one thing.

They were standing on the roof.

For a while, the sound of objects falling down and thumping fell incessantly on the ear. The “Ouch”, “f**k” and “my god” lingered in one’s ears.

It was unknown how many people have broken bones and how many have broken arms.

Gu Yixin looked at the person who takes orders, who was standing all by his own in front of him, and smiled slightly.

The person who takes orders couldn’t help but retreat, with extreme panic coming out of his eyes.

That……

Was it too late for him to surrender now?
