【Friendship level: 65】

Ye Lang returned to the guest room alone. Now he had an independent, formal guest room, but it made no difference to him.

There were only a few clothes hanging in the large cloakroom, and the free bar counter was only used for capsule coffee. He had never been a person who pursued material things very much.

He would tiptoe into this world that he actually had no interest in in the past, but someone told him: Alang, people live a lifetime, the first ten years are spent in ignorance, the second ten years are spent in hard study, and then life just begins. In Zhaipu District, you can never see the sun when you raise your head, you have to get out.

At that time, Miss Gou only had eyes for the bodyguard, and she wanted only to do good for the bodyguard.

Falling on the bed and staring at the ceiling, Ye Lang wondered if he would ever hear Gou An say this to him again in this life -

Maybe never again.

After all, Gou An might hate him to death now.

Ye Lang turned over and thought about Gou An and He Jinxing in a daze. In the original book, these two people seemed to have some intricate relationship.

He thought about it, what happened to He Jinxing and Gou An in the original novel?

It seems that He Jinxing has done some things for Gou An, but I heard that it was just implicitly limited to "looking favorably upon" and would help Gou An with some trivial things. Most of the time, it was to advance the plot, stimulate Lu Wan, and achieve the so-called "sadomasochistic" effect.

In the plot related to him as the supporting actor, there are very few scenes where He Jinxing and Gou An appear at the same time. One of them was the day Gou An was released from prison, and he also went there.

[The weather was bad on the day Gou An was released from prison, with dark clouds.

After Gou An was imprisoned, Ye Lang quit his job at the Gou family and became the wild dog in the dark box in the third district of the downtown area again.

It took another half a year from the time He Jinxing obtained the evidence to the time the case was overturned. During this time, Ye Lang quietly waited for the summons, but it never came. It was not until the day of the trial that he learned that someone on the other side of the strait had taken him out.

The other party did not fully reveal his identity, but asked He Jinxing to convey: Remember that your surname is Ye.

It was half past ten in the morning. Ye Lang didn't know why there was no movement at Gou's house. He had been waiting outside Gou's house since morning, but no one came out until this time and the door was closed.

There are less than two hours left until Gou An is released from prison.

Ye Lang turned around and jumped into his own Volkswagen, a black one that was so common that four of them could pass at a single traffic light on the street.

Since he was not that afraid of the cold, he took off his scarf and stuffed it into his bag. He took the time to go to the mall. When he came out, he threw a plastic bag into the passenger seat. Inside was a set of clothes that could keep Gou An warm.

He drove to Qingshan Prison.

After parking the car far away in the designated parking lot, Ye Lang, holding the plastic bag, felt a rare sense of nervousness. He began to imagine what he should say when he saw Gou An for the first time, and wondered whether he should take her back to Gou's house or to the tube-shaped building.

Gou Xun was at home during the winter vacation. He had never liked his sister very much and liked Lu Wan more instead.

Ye Lang was lost in thought, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he would suddenly see a familiar white Rolls-Royce parked right in front of the prison gate.

Ye Lang paused and stood behind the corner wall. He looked at the man leaning against the car door and smoking, and was somewhat shocked as to why he was here.

The prison gate opened, and the person who came out was indeed very thinly dressed. She walked out wrapped in a scarf, with her head hunched like a quail. When she looked up, she saw the white luxury car that could not be ignored, and subconsciously stepped back.

The man leaning against the car door smiled and waved at her. Gou An looked resistant but still moved over.

When they stood still at some distance, the man reached out and pulled her scarf, lifted her to him like a small animal, bent down in front of her and said a few simple words, then tilted his head and kissed her.

Gou An and Ye Lang were both shocked.

Ye Lang squeezed the plastic bag in his hand, and the man not far away obviously just took a sip and let go of Gou An after a while...

From Ye Lang's direction, he could clearly see the ambiguous silver threads connecting their lips when their lips and tongues separated. He kept curling the corners of his lips and bit her lower lip with a faint smile.

She looked shocked and stunned, her lips slightly parted.

Warm milky white mist came out of He Jinxing's lips. He looked back at the little girl who was looking up at him, his eyes sank slightly. The car door behind him opened and he stuffed Gou An in.

The car door closed, and after more than ten seconds, the driver got out of the car and backed out to a far distance.

After a while, Ye Lang saw the top-level executive business luxury car vibrate violently, as if the people in the car had a fierce argument -

His heart tightened silently, and he didn't dare to guess in that direction. He bent down, picked up a brick from the roadside, weighed it in his hand and prepared to step forward. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated panically.

It’s Lu Wan.

"Alang, Hezhou suddenly fainted, I can't find He Jinxing, save me, I don't know what to do."

Lu Wan had told the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf many times. They were already divorced, and the child was not He Jinxing's biological child. Ye Lang couldn't think of any reason for He Jinxing to care about her.

In fact, he didn't want to pay attention to her, and even wanted to ask her why she couldn't call He Ran.

But there was the sound of an ambulance and a noisy voice asking "Have you contacted the family?" on the other end of the line, and Ye Lang's hand holding the phone tightened silently.

Hezhou is actually very well behaved, because his legal father only gets along with him in a limited way. This makes him seem always timid and fearful even though he is the youngest of the new generation in the He family and should be pampered.

Although he is the He family's child and was born in Rome, Ye Lang sometimes wonders why Lu Wan insisted on giving birth to him and making him suffer.

Not far away, the white Rolls-Royce went from vibrating violently to shaking slightly.

On the phone, Lu Wan's voice became weaker and weaker. She seemed really at a loss. She cried and called the name of the son she had given birth to with great difficulty, and called Ye Lang "brother" in a soft voice.

Ye Lang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes turned red as he looked at the white luxury car not far away that seemed to be completely isolated from the cold and hot winter.

Finally, he hung up the phone, turned back to the parking lot, and got into his Volkswagen. The interior of the car was cold, and he found his hands were shaking when he started the car.

Ye Lang, lying on the bed, watched this scene calmly.

I sighed calmly in my heart: Ah, the male supporting role once again gave up the vicious female supporting role for the female lead.

Will readers be satisfied with such a plot? Although the male protagonist always abuses the female protagonist and never shows up at critical moments, there is always a male supporting role who rushes to the front line and gives up everything for the female protagonist, which seems to be good too.

As for what he was thinking in his heart and how tormented he was, it was just casually mentioned with the four words "eyes stained red" to create an atmosphere, and no one really cared about the details.

This outrageous novel has not yet been finished. He wondered how long the author wanted to torture the male and female supporting characters. It was like watching a revolving lantern of someone else's life. When the book was almost finished, Ye Lang saw the last meeting between himself and Gou An.

[Less than half a year after Gou An was released from prison, everything returned to normal. For some unknown reason, Gou An did not move back into Gou's house.

The lively Miss Gou seemed to have disappeared without a trace. After the bloody storm, people almost forgot her existence. Even her overturning of the verdict and her release from prison did not seem to cause any commotion.

She became very low-key. The last time we heard about her was when there was a rumor that someone saw He Jinxing and her appear at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

People said some truth and some lies, saying that one day He Jinxing returned all of Gou's shares to Gou Yu as a gift to Miss Gou...

But there is no solid evidence for these news.

"Why is Mr. He still so interested in a woman who has been in prison?"

"What do you care? He Jinxing's son doesn't need to take the civil service exam."

People joke like this.

Ye Lang saw Gou An again in the basement of a shopping mall. Hezhou's birthday was approaching and he came to choose a birthday present for his child, so he saw Gou An at the door of an ice cream shop.

Miss Gou, who used to be the most image-conscious, was bare-faced. Perhaps because she was too young and fair-skinned, she did not look bad. Unlike the legend that she was completely silent, she was bargaining with the bodyguard in a suit beside her, with her hands on her waist: "I'll just take a bite."

Bodyguard: "But Mr. He said——"

Gou An: "I don't want Mr. He to say anything. I want me to say this. If you go and complain now and I can't have this meal, I will tell him tonight that I didn't look at the road when I was walking and fell down and no one helped me up. Do you think I can do it? I hope you don't have elderly and children at home who are waiting for your salary to buy rice for food."

bodyguard:"……"

Standing not far away, Ye Lang's face, which had been wooden for thousands of years, suddenly showed some expression. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

His eyes swept over the person with her hands on her hips not far away. He calmly looked at her flat shoes and her slightly bulging belly that could not be concealed even by her loose cotton and linen skirt.

When she impatiently raised her hand to tuck the hair around her ears, he saw that she was wearing a diamond ring with a special shape.

The platinum design is embellished with emeralds, winding like vines around a main diamond that is not big but is a size that matches the thickness of her finger. The quality of the diamond must have been carefully selected and is very dazzling.

Ye Lang's heart felt numb beneath his chest and he felt nothing at all. He walked forward and greeted Gou An.

Gou An was stunned when he heard his voice. When he turned around, his eyes turned red when he looked at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and neither of them spoke first.

The bodyguard behind Gou An looked as if he was facing a great enemy. Facing Ye Lang's unbelievably handsome face, he touched the cell phone in his pocket and really wanted to call to complain.

However, he was a little unsure, because the two people who met in the crowded shopping mall just looked at each other, and after a few seconds, Gou An turned his eyes away.

The tip of her nose was slightly red, and there was no shyness or embarrassment on her face. She just calmly asked the bodyguard: "Let me have ice cream, or I will invite Ye Lang to dinner."

The bodyguard, with a tingling scalp, respectfully invited Miss Gou into the ice cream shop.

Before stepping into the store, Gou An looked back at Ye Lang and smiled at him: "Goodbye."

This was the final farewell between Miss Gou and her former bodyguard.

At first it was because of He Ran and the engagement, and because they both ignorantly pointed at each other; then it was because of He Jinxing, because of Lu Wan...

In fact, the Gou family did not teach Gou An too badly. Although she was occasionally spoiled to the point of being lawless, she surprisingly had her own principles when it came to relationships. When there was a clear relationship going on, she never dragged her feet and could even ignore her own conscience.

It doesn't matter if you say this woman has a heart of stone.

In short, Miss Gou and her former bodyguard, whom she still envied when she saw him, seemed to have been missing each other all the time.

Everything has come to an end, all the love and hate in the world...

For her, it was just a matter of laughing it off. 】

Ye Lang pinched his fingers lightly, turned his head and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, which was somewhat similar to the weather described in the original book on the day Gou An was released from prison.

That day he didn't have time to stop He Jinxing from taking Gou An into the car.

Just like today, he was helpless as he watched them, who had already become an engaged couple, leave one after another.

In the real world, Lu Wan's presence is obviously not as pervasive as in the original novel, which makes it seem like everyone has their own normal life...

The only ones affected were Gou An and her bodyguard Ye Lang.

That inexplicable original novel now seemed like a chasm between them, filled with twists and turns and betrayals from Miss Gou's perspective...

So when she looked at him, she would never smile at him with red eyes again, and would never play the "let grudges fade away with a smile" trick again -

She is indeed a person with a heart of stone. Once she decides to start over, she will resolutely abandon all her mistakes.

Don't give any chance.

"A smile will end all grudges."

In the bathroom, a man's lazy voice sounded.

He Jinxing was going to take a shower originally, so there was nothing he needed to take off unless he peeled off a layer of skin. The person behind him was dressed neatly and seemed to be doing nothing and letting the hot water wet her shirt.

Even a fool knows what happens to a white shirt when it gets wet. Listening to the sound of water hitting the fabric, He Jinxing pricked up his ears and wanted to look back.

But a soft hand reached out from behind, pressing the back of his head, fingertips running through his close-cropped hair, rubbing it, and gently pressing him against the bathroom wall.

——The person behind him seemed to be in control.

Then he thought of something and said the above words.

Even though he was holding his hands above his head against the wall, looking like he was at the mercy of others, it did not prevent him from calmly saying some useless nonsense, "Doesn't it make sense? You can think about how to make me smile again."

“…”

"To put it bluntly, I am teaching you how to successfully calm down a man who is burning with anger."

Gou An looked down at the body in front of him. The hot water of just the right temperature washed over his tight and firm muscles. Standing facing the wall with his back supported by it made his back stretched. The water rolled over him, and it was hard not to be dizzy.

She tightened her throat, but it didn't sound any different when she spoke: "I don't understand what you're saying."

The man with his back to her turned his head slightly: "It seems that you still want to watch the video, to see you and your beloved disciple flipped like a horizontal mirror--"

His voice stopped abruptly because Gou An's hand fell on the back of his neck, and he counted his vertebrae one by one along his neck.

The spine is always the most dangerous place that can easily make people relax their vigilance and lose their fighting ability in the first place. If it were someone else, they would have been pinned to the ground by He Jinxing, but now...

Now he really wanted to turn around and press the person behind him to the ground.

But his skin just tightened for a moment, and he didn't do it.

"Are you angry?" Gou An asked lightly behind him.

As she spoke, her hand had already fallen on his waist. The man finally couldn't help but turn his head and look back at her, meeting her dark eyes which were now blurred by a layer of white mist.

He Jinxing paused, his voice hoarse, and said half-seriously: "Take off your clothes, and I will seriously consider smiling for you."

"A smile can erase all grudges."

Gou An glared at him but did not reach out to hit him. She crossed her hands and lifted the hem of her shirt. Under the man's increasingly hot gaze, a section of her fair waist gradually appeared between the hem of her clothes and the hem of her skirt.

He Jinxing's big hand held this piece of skin for an unknown amount of time last night. This piece of skin was an old friend he was familiar with, and no one knew better than him how delicate it was and how good it felt.

If there was a hybrid between cotton candy and ice cream, it would probably be this.

"My shoulder hurts," he said. "Can I put my hand down?"

"How much does it hurt?"

Gou An glanced at the bruise on his shoulder, and finally saw clearly that above the bruise was the tooth mark she left. In a flash, he figured out what the man had shown Ye Lang by lowering his collar on the stage just now.

This madman.

"Why didn't he stab you more right there?"

He Jinxing choked for two seconds after hearing this, and then calmly commented: "You are quite vicious."

"I was his sword-fighting teacher before our relationship was not so bad. There's nothing to be surprised about if the moves are slightly similar. You are the one making a fuss—"

"The posture and angle of the etiquette are very similar, probably because you used the precise description of 'keeping the hilt of the sword at the second button from the bottom' to teach...but even the steps are the same, which is a bit too much."

As He Jinxing spoke, he stepped on Gou An's calf and kicked it lightly as a punishment.

She leaned forward, his warm skin pressed against hers, and her hand reached around to hold his.

He Jinxing's voice suddenly disappeared, his Adam's apple rolled heavily, and then he never mentioned even one word about that damn video.

But when they returned to the room, the two of them rolled onto the bed wetly, and President He Jin reached out and took the mobile phone that was thrown on the bedside.

Gou An reached out to grab it, but he pushed her back onto the bed.

Then he pressed down with a strong back, and a close kiss fell on her back, and the temperature of the kiss seemed to become more and more different.

The atmosphere that had just died down became hot again. He Jinxing clicked on the video. Don't underestimate a man's pettiness. He could really watch the video frame by frame and analyze it with her.

"See? The way you hold your swords is the same."

He reached his hand forward and grasped her soft hand, as if it were a prank, using the standard gesture of holding a flower sword. Or as ordinary people would habitually weigh the sword after holding it, he also weighed it.

Gou An's scalp tingled and he cursed "pervert" and tried desperately to pull his wrist.

But he didn't move at all.

"It's just the standard sword-holding gesture!" Gou An was furious, "Everyone does it this way!"

"It's different. My lower three fingers are lightly placed on the hilt," He Jinxing said innocently, and he kissed her puffy face with a good-natured sideways gesture, "Your ring finger is above your little finger."

“…”

In Gou An's speechless silence, he raised his body a little, inserted one strong leg between hers, and used the strength of his legs to separate her knees to the left and right.

He showed her the video in his hand but it didn't stop, and the video was accurately frozen on a certain scene.

"Look at this stabbing motion again. Even the curvature of your front legs is the same..."

"Then what?"

"No more, I want one too."

He raised his hands to hold her waist and lifted her up a little. Now both of her knees were bent, and he knelt behind her and did the same. This was what was called "he wants it too".

There had already been some fooling around in the bathroom.

The heating in the room was turned on very high, so neither of them dried their hair and rolled into bed, and no one felt particularly cold. When He Jinxing lowered her head, a drop of water from her hair fell on Gou An's waist, and she shivered.

The man lowered his eyes and looked at the white skin shaking slightly under his eyes, and thought calmly: I would rather die in bed.

Just thinking about this extremely ridiculous conclusion, his hands moved patiently, brushing over the soft skin that had just turned red from his collision, and he saw goose bumps appearing all over his body.

The little girl who was forced to kneel down turned around and scolded him: "If you want it, hurry up and stop touching me."

The man was so angry at her that he couldn't help laughing.

"You're so anxious."

He Jinxing deliberately misinterpreted her meaning. Seeing her wide-open eyes, he felt a little dazed. Once upon a time, in the corridor outside the He family's study, the little girl would stutter in fear when she looked at him and spoke.

At that time, he probably never imagined that there would be a day when she would not be afraid of him at all, and even dared to treat him as a meal when they were in bed.

Mr. He accepted the offer generously and enjoyed it very much.

He didn't notify her when he bumped into her, and even though Gou An had raised his eyebrows and urged her, he still seemed to feel it was very sudden. He couldn't catch his breath, and a very soft muffled sound squeezed out of his throat.

It was so smooth that no extra assistance was needed. He Jinxing, who was originally standing behind her, leaned over her, stretched out his arm, and pinched her soft cheek: "Well, it seems that you are indeed very anxious."

Gou An opened his mouth and bit his wrist.

The man pulled his hand away but not completely. He pressed her lower lip with his index finger and played with it for a while, then pried open her teeth.

The man's fingers were a little wet with sweat and tasted a little salty. The thin calluses on his fingertips pressed against her soft mouth. It was hard to describe the taste.

Gou An clenched his teeth and bit his knuckles. He heard the person behind him hiss and say slowly, "Don't bite."

But that hand never stopped exploring her mouth. After a few seconds, even the middle finger entered, and the two fingertips pinched the soft tip of her tongue.

Her teeth couldn't close at all.

A gradually heavier nasal sound came from deep in the nasal cavity, and the saliva that was not swallowed in time dripped from the corners of the lips onto the clean sheets...

With a "click".

The sound seemed to be infinitely amplified in her mind, eventually occupying her entire skull. Gou An felt that the part of her brain she used to think in had completely paralyzed and stopped working. Now her mind was completely blank.

Let him act like a landlord and exploit all the surplus labor value of migrant workers.

She forgot to resist. Her arms, no longer able to support her, trembled and collapsed, falling back onto the pillow. When He Jinxing took his fingers away from her lips, she buried her face deeply into the pillow.

The video was still playing next to the pillow. The harsh metallic sound of the foils colliding was right next to my ears, just like the bright blue sky and bright daylight outside the window with the curtains not drawn...

No one cares about this anymore.

Gou An curled up there like a shrimp. This posture made it easy for the person behind her to hold her in his arms.

Soft kisses, accompanied by gradually calming breath, fell on her shoulders and the back of her neck. He Jinxing's cell phone was right in front of him. Secretary Liu tirelessly sent the fifth document that needed Mr. He's review.

Three minutes later, the butler, who had not received any response, probably had a mental breakdown. On his phone, a gnashing “.” popped up, along with a sincere blessing: You better be alive.

Gou An, staring at his phone, forwarded this blessing on behalf of Secretary Liu, causing laughter from the people behind him.

The vibration of his chest caused Gou An, who was leaning against him, to feel an itch in her heart. When the man bit the back of her neck, which was curled up due to tension, she seemed to remember something and turned over.

Before He Jinxing could react, a kiss fell upon her, hovering between the tip of her nose and her upper lip.

The hot and humid breath hit her philtrum. The little girl lying in his arms opened her eyes and looked at him silently.

He Jinxing was a little dazed for a moment, but a few seconds later, the kiss fell on her cheek.

The next second, He Jinxing felt his face being pinched by two fingers. The hard touch only allowed her to barely lift the flesh of his cheek a little, just enough to prevent him from looking away.

"He Jinxing, why don't you kiss me?"

The question that had puzzled him for a whole day was finally asked. Gou An, the straightforward emperor, blinked his eyes and asked with confidence.

He Jinxing was stunned by the question.

Even Mr. He can be caught off guard sometimes.

After his brain reacted with difficulty, he immediately smelled a dangerous atmosphere in the air. Perhaps if there was something wrong with his answer and he didn't get a satisfactory answer, she might turn hostile on the spot.

He Jinxing was not quite sure what "satisfaction" meant, so he was very cautious.

Gou An stared at him and decided to beat him to death if anything he said showed any sign of being translated as "save it for others."

At this moment, He Jinxing felt relieved by the little girl's innocent question, but he also felt a little resentful of the cruelty that came with it. He could only smile, hold her wrist, and pull away her hand that was pinching his face fiercely.

"Sex is different from kissing. It's best to kiss someone you really like."

Her eyelashes trembled and her eyes turned cold.

He Jinxing gently scratched her face with the knuckles of his bent fingers.

"When An An finds someone she likes, she will understand this truth. I don't want you to blame me, an old man, for cheating me by then... What if you want to settle the score with me? I can't pay for this."

His voice was understated, just like the countless times he had stood in hypocritical occasions and made high-sounding speeches.

Even so.

The system prompt sounded in my mind again, and He Jinxing’s friend level increased to [65].

Gou An found that he was not happy at all.
