Chapter 16 Chapter 16 At that time, Gu Jianqing once said, Su Ting, you must...
As soon as he got home, Su Ting went to the kitchen diligently. He quickly washed the cabbage and a few carrots, then turned around to continue processing the Red House steak, sprinkling sea salt and pepper on it, and adding a little rosemary. While doing all this, his eyes were focused and his movements were mechanical, unlike what he had said about not cooking often.
I guess he is being modest.
Ye Xiuming was doing his homework in the living room, but his attention was completely drawn to the kitchen. When he heard the sizzling sound, he couldn't help but walk to Su Ting's side and stare intently at the crispy brown crust on the steak. "Dad, it's almost burnt."
Su Ting glanced at him and then turned the steak over.
Suddenly, he said, "I've said before that it doesn't matter how good your grades are, as long as you live a healthy and happy life."
Ye Xiuming's eyes brightened and he lowered his head, scratching it embarrassedly.
During dinner, both of them were silent, with only the sound of knives and forks cutting through the plates. Su Ting was swiping through the news push in a cold manner, while Ye Xiuming was immersed in the temptation of delicious food. This meal was much more delicious than any Caos. He even ate up all the side dishes beside the steak.
After dinner, Su Ting went to the bedroom and did not come out for a long time. He held a glass of whiskey, took out the ancient Roman coin pendant from the chest of drawers, put it in his hand, and stared at it with a sense of loss.
This was the one-year anniversary gift that Gu Jianqing gave him.
The ancient coin is made of aged black gold and is embossed with the ancient Greek god Hercules.
At that time, Gu Jianqing once said, Su Ting, you must be invincible like Hercules and overcome all difficulties.
But no one expected that the "Wannan" was called "Gu Jianqing".
January 21st happened to be their anniversary. At this time every year, Su Ting would always go out drinking alone, and then indulge in the past under the influence of alcohol.
Gu Jianqing was his senior in the Finance Department of Jinan University and a prominent figure in that class, having won many awards in entrepreneurial competitions. Su Ting, on the other hand, was taciturn and colder than the wind and snow. They had little interaction during college and only met when they were interviewing for investment banks at the same time near graduation.
Gu Jianqing passed the interview, and Su Ting successfully sold his business plan, getting the investment bank to invest in his project.
Gu Jianqing and him hit it off right away, and his first words were: "I must have seen you somewhere in my past life."
Su Ting glanced at the handsome and tall Gu Jianqing and said politely, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen you before."
Gu Jianqing looked like he would not turn back until he hit the wall.
"Can I buy you a meal?"
Su Ting said coldly: "I have eaten."
Unexpectedly, Gu Jianqing was a persistent person. His fierce offensive lasted for several months. Every day he would ask Su Ting if he wanted to have dinner together. In the end, Su Ting could not resist Gu Jianqing's persistence and kept the appointment late one winter night.
Gu Jianqing was holding flowers in his hands, singing and dancing under the wind and moon, and immediately gave Su Ting a big hug.
That was two days before Sutin’s birthday.
He had never been hugged so hard by anyone before.
Su Ting, who never fell for such tricks, broke down that night, his defenses quietly opening up, and he agreed to Gu Jianqing's request to give it a try. And in the ten days of dating that followed, a small part of his heart collapsed for him.
Gu Jianqing is not just a pretty face. He is funny, cute, knowledgeable, and more importantly, he has an extremely strong heart, making him a match for Su Ting.
So when Su Ting, the thousand-year-old iceberg, was melted by Gu Jianqing, everyone who knew about it exclaimed, "It's rare."
Su Ting still remembered how they trembled on their first night together. Gu Jianqing was not an old hand and his technique was clumsy, which formed a sharp contrast with his previous familiarity and made Su Ting feel extremely fresh.
The person who took the initiative that night was Su Ting.
He seemed to have turned on an unprecedented switch, blooming just for Gu Jianqing.
The beginning of the story is as bright as a flower, but the ending is sloppy.
For the next five years, Su Ting's life was filled with darkness, and the pendant made of ancient Roman coins became a funeral song for their relationship.
Ye Xiuming just didn't know.
He thought he had done something wrong and walked carefully to Su Ting's bedroom.
The room was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. Su Ting was leaning crookedly on the sofa, with the collar of his pajamas slightly open, revealing his white neck.
He seemed to have fallen asleep.
Ye Xiuming brought him a thin blanket and covered him with it. He bent down to take off his shoes and lifted his legs onto the sofa so that he could sleep more comfortably.
Su Ting's red eyelids trembled slightly, a tear flowed down his cheek, and he mumbled.
"Gu Jianqing...why did you do this to me?"
Gu Jianqing, who is he?
Is that the guy who took the picture of him?
The shadow under Ye Xiuming's brow was deep, and his pupils were endlessly black. Su Ting was his little father, and he didn't want to see him being bullied.
Ye Xiuming only had the opportunity to ask the question of who Gu Jianqing was at Su Ting’s birthday party two days later.
Ye Xiuming pulled Zhou Xubai to a corner, looked him straight in the eye, and said, "Dad, who is Gu Jianqing?"
Zhou Xubai was drinking Su Ting's fine wine at the time. He spat out the wine with a "puff" sound. He wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and said, "Boy, why do you ask this suddenly? Did Su Ting say anything to you?"
"No, he mentioned it in his sleep two days ago."
Zhou Xubai's face turned gloomy, and he looked at Su Ting, who was drinking and chatting with the guests, with a sullen look.
Yes, he is no longer the introverted and cold person he used to be. He can handle all social occasions, big or small, with ease, and he has never given himself any worries in the business world. He is a remarkable man with both ability and appearance.
But this name will always make him feel confused inside.
It's really heartbreaking.
Su Ting transferred from a southern city to Jincheng when he was in high school, but his parents did not come with him. He depended on his grandmother for everything. It was said that Su Ting's grandmother was an excellent cook and had cultivated Su Ting's picky eater. Unfortunately, bad luck struck him, and when he was just in his sophomore year, he received the news that his grandmother had passed away.
That day, Zhou Xubai called Su Ting dozens of times, but he didn't answer.
From then on, his good friend quietly turned into a cold-blooded and heartless person. He seemed to be using his excellence to comfort the dead, but left the most vulnerable side to himself.
Seeing Zhou Xubai didn't respond for a long time, Ye Xiuming asked again: "Who is Dad Gu Jianqing?"
Zhou Xubai hesitated for a long time, but when he saw that he couldn't defend himself against Ye Xiuming, he just said, "Gu Jianqing is your stepfather's ex-boyfriend and first love."
Ye Xiuming suddenly heard the sound of himself being hit by a huge rock.
Ex...boyfriend? ?
Su Ting...has a boyfriend? ?
Isn't he a man? Could it be that... when he wasn't paying attention, he was... a woman?
How could a female suddenly become a male?
The young and helpless heart was hit hard. Ye Xiuming frowned and said, "Dad, so Dad is really gay?"
