Chapter 16 I'm Sorry
When Gu Chenzhou came out of the shower, 1551 was no longer in the room.
Only the slightly messy pillows on the sofa showed that he had been here before.
Did he leave because he was too amused?
Gu Chenzhou's brows furrowed for a moment, and he felt as if a chill was about to spread in his heart.
But before any emotion could appear, a familiar smell came from outside.
The chef hired by the family prepared breakfast on time as usual.
Gu Chenzhou's brows relaxed suddenly.
He knew where 1551 had gone.
1551, who was staring at the exquisite breakfast on the table, suddenly felt a strong sense of being watched.
1551:?
He turned around alertly and saw a man in formal attire coming down from upstairs. He looked leisurely and didn't look like he had just finished a workout.
1551 Feeling somewhat guilty, he secretly shifted his position to reveal the exquisite-looking breakfast on the dining table.
Then he said obediently: "I didn't mean to eat it secretly."
Gu Chenzhou almost couldn't help but reveal a faint smile in his black eyes.
The credibility of what the little guy said is not high at all.
1551 He didn't know that the man was almost seeing through him. He stuck very close to Gu Chenzhou, staring at him as he picked up the knife and fork to eat.
There is more than one chef in the Gu family, but they all work on a shift basis. Recently, the Western chef happened to be at work.
1551 had been eyeing a plate of cheese baked shrimp for a long time, and he urged Gu Chenzhou to try it with a little anticipation.
The shrimp looked bigger than his palm.
Although his ears were filled with the sound of the small system drooling over the cheese baked shrimp, Gu Chenzhou pretended not to hear it and only touched the other dishes.
Seeing that Gu Chenzhou had finished the vegetable salad but didn't touch the cheese baked shrimp, 1551 felt a little depressed.
He tilted his head and thought for a long time, and could only utter one sentence: "...You are really the pickiest eater I have ever seen!"
In his eyes, this was already a condemnation.
Even though he thought Gu Chenzhou couldn't hear him, he still felt a little embarrassed after he finished speaking.
He muttered, "But it doesn't matter. Even if you're a picky eater, you've grown tall."
After saying that, he walked around Gu Chenzhou and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement at the golden ratio that seemed to be given by God.
"Wow."
Gu Chenzhou put down his knife and fork with a slightly louder sound as he failed to control his strength, and a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, that hint of helplessness concealed a smile and indulgence that the person himself did not even notice.
It's like having a clingy puppy.
Gu Chenzhou tensed his muscles for a moment before he lost his mind and reached out to grab 1551 and rub him.
After dinner, he stood up and still asked the person in charge of cleaning the house to come in ten minutes later to clean up.
This is just a small request, although a bit strange, but those who can stay here and work will not have any curiosity about their employer beyond work.
After waiting for a while, Gu Chenzhou indeed saw a swaying ball of light that seemed a little heavier than usual floating out of the restaurant.
1551 whispered: "I just don't want to waste food."
The cheese baked shrimp tastes really delicious.
I don’t know why the male protagonist didn’t eat a single bite.
What a pity.
1551 shook his head regretfully, looking dazed.
Just as they were about to leave, the housekeeper came over with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Someone comes to visit?"
Gu Chenzhou looked at him while adjusting his tie.
The visual surveillance camera at the door lit up, indicating that someone was standing outside the door.
1551's eyes widened as he leaned over to the screen to see: "Is that Miss Jin, whom I almost dated yesterday?"
He suddenly became alert, having the illusion that he was about to discover the protagonist's big secret at any time.
The entire ball brightened a little, and the light trembled.
Gu Chenzhou rarely reached out and rubbed his forehead, feeling indeed a little helpless.
There was no Miss Jin at all. It was just an excuse he made up yesterday to get this little system.
But Miss Jin was not making this up, this person really existed.
Their relationship is simply a partnership.
After looking at the surveillance video, 1551 found that there was a man standing outside the door, a man who looked to be over 40 years old.
He suddenly lost interest and floated back to Gu Chenzhou.
However, when Gu Chenzhou saw who the visitor was, a cold look appeared in his eyes.
Seeing that he did not stop him, the butler opened the door.
As soon as Gu Jiahao came in, his wrinkled eyes looked sharply at Gu Chenzhou: "Are you going to the company?"
Gu Chenzhou acted very indifferent: "What's the matter?"
He didn't even answer the man's question.
Even 1551, who has always been a little slow in understanding human emotions, could see at this moment that these two people seemed to be at odds with each other.
At least Gu Chenzhou doesn't like him.
But if you don't like him, why should you allow him in?
1551 Looking at this man who looks tired but still has some of the elegance of his youth, I feel that he looks more and more familiar.
Gu Jiahao walked in: "This is the Gu family's ancestral home. Is it possible that I came back only because something happened?"
Gu Chenzhou sneered: "The last time you came back was four years ago, in order to ask me to visit that woman's grave."
Gu Jiahao's face was embarrassed for a moment: "What do you mean by that woman? She is your stepmother."
When he said this, he himself felt strange.
He did love the woman who was much younger than him. After her death, he almost wanted to die with her. In the end, he couldn't think it through, broke up with his son who was extremely indifferent to the matter, gave up his career and went abroad.
Until a few years ago, he had always secretly resented his only son.
But in the past two years, not only did the resentment in his heart disappear, he even gradually began to not understand why he had become madly infatuated with an actress who had just reached the legal age for marriage shortly after his wife passed away.
Bringing her home as his wife came under a lot of pressure from public opinion because of the age difference of more than ten years between the two.
What is ironic is that Gu Chenzhou was twelve years old at the time, only ten years younger than his stepmother. One was precocious and cold, while the other was lively and bright. The two looked more like peers than he did.
But for some reason, Gu Chenzhou hated his stepmother very much.
Whatever he did, he did with great malice.
He loved her so much at that time that he felt that all the problems must be caused by Gu Chenzhou.
I wonder if he transferred all the resentment for his mother's death onto his innocent stepmother.
But now his mentality has completely changed one night two years ago.
It doesn't seem like love is gradually fading away with time, but more like a curse that someone had cast on me has suddenly expired.
Even he himself thought that the marriage was a joke, and it caused him to be unable to get close to his only son.
After Gu Jiahao said that subconsciously, he immediately regretted it.
But he was used to being a male chauvinist and didn't want to apologize for the moment, so he just stared at Gu Chenzhou.
Gu Chenzhou: "If there is nothing else, I will go to work."
His reaction was much calmer than anyone present expected.
Gu Jiahao was in a daze for a moment, then he realized that his son had become completely mature and steady without him noticing.
I will no longer show my emotions easily.
He still hated that woman, but if he was forced to admit that she was his stepmother, he would not argue.
Gu Jiahao felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that he had made many mistakes.
It was obvious that before the age of twelve, Gu Chenzhou trusted him very much.
The father-son relationship between them at that time was no different from all the warm father-son relationships in the world.
Gu Chenzhou left without looking back. Facing this father whom he had not seen or called for four years, he had no intention of communicating with him.
1551 I followed him blankly, and when I turned back to take a peek, I found that the man had his head buried very low, revealing a patch of white hair that was not hidden well.
Standing there, I felt like I was left behind.
At this moment, the identities of the two people seemed to have been reversed.
1551 turned his head back and looked at Gu Chenzhou, and couldn't help but touch him lightly.
Through the brief conversation between the two people, he recognized the identity of the visitor.
The plot did not mention that the father and son would break up, nor did the identity of the stepmother appear.
Although the Gu family adopted a marriage arrangement in Gu Jiahao's generation, Gu Jiahao is a very responsible man and he loves his wife very much.
So the protagonist's early childhood was actually happy.
When the hero was eleven years old, his mother died in a car accident and his father never remarried. This was the first blow he suffered in the plot.
Now there is a stepmother who did not appear in the plot. It is obvious that she is the first time traveler to enter this world.
It is also the first node that causes the plot to deviate.
This world has become so insincere to include so many time travelers that the plot has become completely irrelevant.
For example, Zhou Qin, who was supposed to be the biggest villain, has now been offline early.
Judging from what they just said, Gu Chenzhou seemed to hate that time traveler.
There was a dead silence in the car.
It was not until he entered the company and closed the office door that 1551 felt that the chill emanating from Gu Chenzhou had disappeared a little.
He gently floated to the table and looked at him. For some reason, he looked into those dark eyes and suddenly blurted out, "Do you hate that person who suddenly broke into your world?"
He was referring to the first time traveler.
Gu Chenzhou pulled the corner of his mouth slightly coldly, he wanted to answer no.
It's more than just disgust.
When he first met the time traveler at the age of twelve, he heard her talking to her system in her mind.
Treat each person one system as if evaluating a commodity.
[Is this the male lead? He's certainly handsome despite his young age, perfect for being my dog.]
[Host, are you sure you want to attack as a stepmother? ]
[Of course, stepmother literature is all the rage now. What can he understand at his age? His mom just happened to be dead. If I just show a little care, I can become the white moonlight he loves but cannot have.]
[It's up to you. Anyway, our goal is to make the hero's sadness indicator break 100 in an instant.]
That series of disgusting calculating voices seemed to ring in his ears again.
Not only her, all the time travelers approached him with dirty intentions and the misfortunes they caused.
All those hardships that should not have happened were caused by this group of time travelers.
Gu Chenzhou's face suddenly darkened, and a dark aura seemed to rise from his entire body. An uncontrollable violence emerged from the depths of his heart...
But suddenly, he felt a warm touch next to his hand, so short that it seemed like an illusion.
He lowered his head and found that it was 1551 who rubbed him.
1551 looked up at him seriously, emphasizing each word: "I'm sorry."
