Chapter 47: Adultery 14

Looking again, Gu Yanchen's face also looked extremely ugly, as if there was something he couldn't accept.

At this time, the music stopped again, and whistles and cheers were heard not far away. Gu Rong was actually pulled onto the stage by Jian Xing. He also held a guitar and stood next to Jian Xing, obviously to accompany Jian Xing. Jian Xing also leaned over and said something to Gu Rong with a smile. The two were very close to each other.

Someone below was laughing and joking—

"Hey, Xiao Jian, you're not really into our Second Young Master Gu, are you?!"

"Yeah, why did they only invite Young Master Gu to the stage and not us?"

"Second Young Master Gu is so handsome, it's understandable that Xiao Jian would fall for him, hahaha."

Gu Rong just smiled without saying anything, lowered his eyes slightly, put his fingers on the guitar strings, and played softly.

In the custodial memory of this body, he and Gu Yanchen both learned musical instruments. When Gu Yanchen was a child, he first chose to learn the drum set. Later, Gu Rong also wanted to learn the drum set, but was accused of learning from Gu Yanchen, so he chose to learn the guitar. After that, Gu Yanchen started to get in touch with other instruments, but Gu Rong has never changed.

Perhaps the guitar alone has consumed all his passion and energy.

The corners of Gu Rong's lips curled up again.

The character design of this body of his is quite interesting, especially the part about family relationships. It would be a shame not to make full use of it.

"How about we sing this song together?"

Jian Xing handed the phone to Gu Rong.

Because it was a sudden idea, the songs were also chosen on the spur of the moment.

Gu Rong took a look and found that it was a love song. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Jian Xing with an ambiguous smile.

"You want me to sing this song with you? Can't I just accompany you?"

Jian Xing also laughed, openly and without disguising, "How can I let Young Master Gu just accompany me? I dare not. And I want to sing this song with you, how about it?"

"Second Master Gu, please give me a chance~"

"I......"

Before he could finish his words, Gu Rong's hand, which was casually plucking the guitar strings, was suddenly grabbed, and Gu Yanchen's voice came to his ears.

"Gu Rong, come with me."

"I don't."

Gu Rong frowned and turned her head, wanting to pull out the wrist that Gu Yanchen was holding, but she saw blood dripping from Gu Yanchen's other hand.

His brows immediately furrowed even tighter: "How did you do that to your hands?"

"Come down, I have something to tell you."

Gu Rong was standing at the edge of the stage, while Gu Yanchen was standing below, looking up at him with a not very good look on his face.

The platform was not high, making the two people look like they were confronting each other.

Someone came over and asked what was wrong. Gu Rong took a deep breath and whispered, "Let go first."

Gu Yanchen frowned, and when he saw that Gu Rong was about to take off the guitar, he completely let go.

"Sorry, something happened."

Gu Rong returned the guitar to Jian Xing: "You guys play with it first."

Jian Xing seemed a little worried. When he took the guitar, he squeezed Gu Rong's arm and asked vaguely, "Are you okay?"

"What could be the matter?"

Gu Rong shrugged, then jumped off the stage and glanced at Gu Yanchen.

Gu Yanchen turned and walked out of the beach where they gathered, motioning Gu Rong to follow him. The two left one after the other and stopped at a remote place.

"Treat the wound."

Gu Yanchen heard these words when he turned around.

When I lowered my eyes, I saw that Gu Rong was holding a towel in his hand.

He was speechless for a moment.

Gu Rong stuffed the towel directly into Gu Yanchen's hand and said impatiently, "Hurry up."

[I'm not afraid of bleeding out.]

Gu Yanchen paused and glanced at Gu Rong.

Then he took the towel and pressed it on his injured hand.

Actually, the wound was not big, it was just a piece of glass that got stuck in it, so the bleeding couldn't be stopped.

Gu Yanchen threw the glass fragments he picked up to the ground, then looked up at Gu Rong.

It was already getting dark, but Tao Yining had decorated the island in all directions. Not only were the trees hung with colorful lights, but he had also installed ground lights and street lights. So even at night, the island was brightly lit. It was just that the place where they parked was relatively remote, so there were relatively fewer lights.

But it is enough to see the person opposite clearly.

The sea breeze blew in from the sea level, and it had the smell of sea water, bringing a hint of coolness to the hot season, but it did not make Gu Yanchen feel comfortable.

His heart was still noisy and upset.

Like I urgently need an outlet.

It felt like something was collapsing and decaying inside, but he was just trying his best to restrain it.

Just like when he lost his composure in front of Zhong Luoyao and the other two, but when he went to find Gu Rong, he still pretended as if nothing had happened - of course, this was what Gu Yanchen considered to be his most normal state - although it seemed quite scary to others and they didn't dare to approach him easily.

"Do you like that band's lead singer?"

Gu Rong sneered: "You called me here just to ask this?"

"Obviously."

Gu Yanchen frowned and said in a deep voice: "So answer my question."

Gu Rong paused, then said, "I like it."

"He's a very nice guy, very good at dealing with people, very good at talking, can sing beautifully, is handsome, and is very good at catering to me—"

"Gu Rong, you know what I mean by liking."

Gu Yanchen interrupted Gu Rong: "Don't beat around the bush."

Gu Rong's face darkened as well: "Then how do you know that when I say I like you now, I don't mean that?"

"What if I am—"

"I asked you to make more friends, not to fall in love with another man!"

Gu Yanchen's voice suddenly rose, and the air suddenly became quiet.

A few seconds later.

Gu Rong said: "Again?"

"Fall in love with another man?"

"Who else do I like?"

Gu Yanchen suddenly clenched his hands.

The blood from the injured hand was seeping through the towel.

But his patience could not stop Gu Rong's relentless pressure.

"Go ahead."

Gu Rong walked closer to Gu Yanchen, until he was right in front of him, and said word by word, "Gu Yanchen, who else do I like?"

"Do you like me?"

Gu Rong held Gu Yanchen's face with both hands, raised his head and kissed him.

This time we are in a sober state and no one can deceive themselves.

A thunderclap sounded in Gu Yanchen's mind.

Along with the sound of waves, it felt like heavy rain was pouring down on them.

He subconsciously raised his hand, but Gu Rong reached out and held the injured hand, pinching the wound precisely.

Gu Yanchen couldn't help but groan.

Gu Rong took the opportunity to open his mouth and bite Gu Yanchen.

The other hand moved down and pressed hard on Gu Yanchen's Adam's apple.

"Gu Rong!"

Gu Yanchen still pushed him away.

"Do you know what you are doing?!"

"Of course I do."

Compared to Gu Yanchen's emotional fluctuations, Gu Rong seemed very calm, and his voice was clear: "I'm kissing my brother."

"you--"

"What's the big deal? Fan Jingzhuo and Fan Zitong can be together—"

"But they are not biological children!"

Gu Rong chuckled: "What if we are not either?"

Gu Yanchen was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

"So your only concern is that we are related by blood?"

Gu Rong asked back, reaching out to grab Gu Yanchen's hand: "But what if there is no such thing? Just look at me as a person, Gu Yanchen, what do you think?"

"I can't just look at you as a person."

Gu Yanchen spoke subconsciously: "I see your background because you are my brother. How can I see you apart from this relationship?"

"Yeah."

Gu Rong's eyes flashed and he let go of his hand.

"Then I can like someone else, whether it's a man or a woman, what's wrong with that? As long as I don't like you, it's fine. Why do you care so much about me?"

"I said, you are my brother, I can't just ignore—"

"Gu Yanchen! Then I beg you to just stop interfering, okay?!"

Gu Rong suddenly exploded: "I've already done what you want, why do you still want to control me?! What exactly do you want from me? Will you be completely relieved only after finding a woman to marry and have children?! You've never controlled me like this since I was a child, so why do you control me like this now? Do you have to show your authority as a brother to me?"

"You actually don't like me as your brother at all, right? They all say that I killed our parents. You think so too, right?"

"So you are very proud of being able to control me and dominate me like this—"

"I don't!"

Gu Yanchen's chest heaved, and he could barely control his voice. It was rare for someone to make him so angry: "I've never thought of it that way!"

"But you don't have it, others do."

Gu Rong: "And it doesn't matter if you haven't thought about it. The fact is, you have never been close to me, your younger brother."

"But you were the one who distanced yourself from me first!"

Gu Yanchen seemed very tired and couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows: "Gu Rong, I beg you, please be reasonable. I just don't want you to go astray. Is this not enough?"

"Is it wrong to like you? Is it wrong to like other men?"

Gu Rong turned his gaze away: "Why do you define it this way, Gu Yanchen."

"If that's all you have to say, then I have nothing more to say. Let's stop here."

It was not until Gu Rong turned around and left, with his back out of sight, that Gu Yanchen took any action.

He turned around and sat on the steps, one leg bent and the other stretched out. He rested the elbow of his injured hand on his bent knee and used his other hand to tear open the towel. Only then did he realize that he had used so much force that the towel and his palm had stuck together. When he tore it off, the wound on his palm began to bleed again, perhaps it had never stopped bleeding.

I clenched my hands, feeling sticky and wet.

Both the palms and the backs of the hands were stained with blood and wine, some of which had dried up and showed brown marks.

Few people know that Gu Yanchen, who seems mature and steady, also played extreme sports when he was a teenager. Otherwise, Tao Yining would not know that he has a professional diving certificate. Gu Rong also knows that the first instrument Gu Yanchen chose to learn when he was a child was the drum set...but as he grew older, Gu Yanchen rarely revealed this.

Everyone has to make choices, and Gu Yanchen’s choice is to learn to restrain his desires.

As the eldest son and grandson, he has too much to bear and has to make many choices. Gu Yanchen has always demanded this of himself.

He thought he could be free from desires.

but......

Gu Yanchen turned his palm over and clenched it again.

But this cannot be done for Gu Rong.

Why can't you be obedient?

Gu Yanchen unfolded the towel, folded it vertically into a long strip, and then wrapped it around his palm.

"You're not going to leave or come out?"

It was a sudden sound, and I didn't know who he was talking to.

After a while, there was a noise not far away, and Tao Yining walked out with a stiff face, not knowing what expression to make.

"No, you, just now, you and Gu Rong, your brother... the two of you? Huh?!"

Tao Yining seemed to have just reacted, and rushed to Gu Yanchen, continuing to talk incoherently: "What just happened?! I was just worried about you, so I thought of following you to see, but...what just happened? What is Gu Rong talking about? You and Gu Rong, your brother? Isn't Gu Rong your brother? Huh?"

"No one said he wasn't."

Gu Yanchen wrapped the towel around himself, reached out and grabbed it, then raised his head and looked at Tao Yining: "Don't tell anyone about this."

Tao Yining paused. He had never seen Gu Yanchen with such a cold and serious expression before, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "Of course I won't tell anyone, but...what are you going to do?"

"What to do?"

"What do you mean by 'what to do'? I'm asking you!"

Tao Yining was going crazy: "Your brother, he likes you? How could he like a brother like you?! Is he a pervert?!"

Gu Yanchen's expression suddenly darkened, and he said with a warning: "Tao Yining."

Tao Yining slapped his mouth and said, "Okay, just consider it my fault. But this won't do. What will happen if others find out? What's wrong with him?"

"I'm sorry for him."

"ah?"

Gu Yanchen exhaled and scratched his hair, looking a little depressed. "Our parents died on the day he was born. My grandfather had three children, and my father was the eldest. Originally, my father was going to inherit the Gu family, but after he passed away, my grandfather started to train me, so my uncle and aunt were very dissatisfied with this."

Tao Yining opened his mouth: "Then they..."

"They didn't dare to actually do anything, but they were probably unwilling to accept it. When I was little, they often whispered suggestive things in my ear, like what Gu Rong just said, saying that our parents died because of him, and that my brother had a tough life, so he killed our parents one after another. There were many other unpleasant things, I've heard them all."

"But I didn't think—"

Gu Yanchen's voice was almost cruel: "They actually said these words in Gu Rong's ear!"

"Has Gu Rong never told you this?" Tao Yining's expression became a little complicated.

Gu Yanchen shook his head.

"Ever since Grandpa started training me, I've been told to take on the responsibility of the Gu family. It's not just about academics. I have so much to learn. If I don't do well, it won't just disappoint Grandpa. I'm afraid my two elders will also smell the fuss and come over. Then, Gu Rong and I will be in a bad situation."

“So I dare not relax for a moment.”

"But by the time I realized it, I had already ignored Gu Rong too much. I wanted to make amends, but I found that Gu Rong had already begun to alienate me."

Gu Yanchen lowered his gaze and laughed at himself: "After all, it's impossible to coordinate everything."

"He must be blaming me as his brother. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a brother."

Tao Yining was also silent, but after a while he finally asked, "But Gu Rong, I mean, why would he treat you... Is it that the more he cares about you, the more distorted his emotions become?"

"Maybe."

Gu Yanchen pursed his lips: "So I want to do my best to fill this vacancy for him."

"Fill in? To change his feelings?"

Tao Yining couldn't help but ask, "But what if you can't turn it around? What are you going to do then?"

This time, Gu Yanchen didn't speak for a long time.

Just when Tao Yining thought he would not answer, he heard Gu Yanchen suddenly say:

"I owe him. Whatever he wants... If he's really determined, I'll give it to him."
