Chapter 250 The Movie King (21)
He had been trying to appease Gu Zhixi before.
As long as Gu Yanjing refused to let him go, he would follow Gu Yanjing. However, he still wanted to take a gamble and bet on Gu Yanjing's attitude.
All of this was originally just a matter of Gu Yanjing's whim.
"You were originally mine, and I have no interest in this plane." Gu Yanjing chuckled softly, and the handsome Vermilion Bird Emperor shook his head, showing no concern for the life or death of others.
"Your Majesty, I am still useful. I can find out about Shisanqiu's whereabouts, and I know about Gu Yuan and Shisanqiu's plans." Gu Zhiyuan was getting anxious.
Gu Yanjing kept him around before because he was a bit silly and somewhat interesting.
Now that he's not stupid anymore, Gu Yanjing won't keep useless people around.
"Fool, you can find out about Shisanqiu's whereabouts, but Shisanqiu can't monitor you?" Gu Yanjing sneered upon hearing this.
Still as stupid as ever.
"Your Majesty, I can still be foolish, I can still make Your Majesty happy, please let me go, I really would give anything to do in exchange."
He really wanted to stay by his sister's side; he didn't care about anything else but his sister.
Gu Zhixi looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, begging incessantly for her sake, and tears welled up in her eyes. She hurriedly pushed her wheelchair over.
"A-Yuan, A-Yuan, what's wrong?" Gu Zhixi wanted to stand in front of Gu Zhiyuan, but found that the gap between Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Yanjing was too small for her to squeeze through.
That's awkward.
She could only stop to the side, blocking Gu Zhiyuan with her hand, looking fierce, like a mother hen guarding her food.
Lu Lingjun couldn't help but smile.
Gu Yan glanced at him in surprise, and he immediately became expressionless, with a stern face, looking very unapproachable.
"Sis, I'm fine. I just need to talk to my friend about something. You go back quickly. I'll be back for dinner as soon as I'm done talking. I want to eat braised pig's trotters today. Can you make them for me?"
Gu Zhiyuan's expression changed, and he quickly got up. Ignoring Gu Yanjing's attempts to stop him, he pushed Gu Zhixi away.
"Are you kidding me? You think I have to kneel down and kowtow until my head bleeds when I talk about something? Do you think I'm stupid?" Gu Zhixi blocked the wheels of the wheelchair, preventing him from pushing it.
Gu Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this. He touched his forehead and found it covered in blood. He was so nervous that he didn't even realize he had bumped his head.
"I accidentally tripped and couldn't get up. Sister, please listen to me just this once. Let's go. I'll take care of everything, really." Gu Zhiyuan held Gu Zhixi's hand, then noticed blood on his own hand and let go, afraid of getting Gu Zhixi's hand dirty.
"I'm hungry." Gu Yanjing had no interest in watching the two siblings' affectionate moment. He sat on the steps and yawned.
"What would you like to eat?" Lu Lingjun stood beside Gu Yanjing.
"Let's eat braised pig's trotters," Gu Yanjing thought for a moment and glanced at Gu Zhixi.
"Order takeout?" Lu Lingjun raised an eyebrow.
"Let's go to his house for dinner. Doesn't he have someone to cook?" We've been looking for a cook for so long, and it seems like we've finally found the right one.
I often envy Gu Qiqi's chubby little one who can do housework and cook.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Lu Lingjun nodded, bent down in front of Gu Yanjing, and tried to carry Gu Yanjing on his back.
As a result, Gu Yanjing, completely oblivious to romance, kicked Lu Lingjun so hard he fell flat on his face: "Get off me, don't turn your backside towards me."
Lu Lingjun, who was lying on the ground and almost knocked out his teeth: ...As expected, Gu Yanjing is indeed worthy of the name.
Gu Zhixi, who was arguing with Gu Zhiyuan, was also dumbfounded. Wait, aren't they a married couple? Why are they behaving like this? It's a little... scary.
Lu Lingjun got up, wiped the blood from his nose, carried Gu Yanjing away, and when he reached the elevator, he turned back and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Which floor?"
Gu Yanjing, being carried on his back, punched Lu Lingjun a few times in discomfort, almost making Lu Lingjun cough up blood.
That's a damn iron fist.
"Thirteenth floor," Gu Zhiyuan called out, pressing his hand over Gu Zhixi's mouth.
Lu Lingjun responded and, carrying Gu Yanjing, pressed the elevator button.
Gu Zhixi pried Gu Zhiyuan's hand away and said anxiously, "Who are they? Ayuan, I'm fine now, don't do anything foolish."
"Sister, don't worry, this really is my friend." Gu Zhiyuan forced a smile.
"Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? How could you have such an awesome friend?" Gu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes.
How could she not know what kind of idiot her brother was?
"Sis, why don't you trust me? Why can't I have such an awesome friend? Your brother is awesome too, okay?" Gu Zhiyuan retorted.
Do I look like I'm destined for wealth and privilege?
Isn't he quite wealthy now?
"Heh, don't you know your own limitations?" Gu Zhixi pushed Gu Zhiyuan's hand away and pushed her wheelchair to leave.
Go up there and cook for people?
Is she a cook?
funny.
Then, half an hour later, Gu Zhixi was making braised pork knuckle in the kitchen, while Gu Yanjing was lying on the sofa eating snacks that Gu Zhiyuan had bought.
"Gu Congxin!" Gu Yan exclaimed in surprise.
Although Gu Zhiyuan really didn't want to acknowledge this name, what could he do since His Majesty had chosen it?
"Yes, Your Majesty. Is there anything you need?"
"Go downstairs and buy two bottles of Coke, ice-cold." Gu Yanjing looked at the sun outside the window.
He left this place half a year ago; he left in early autumn, and now it's already the beginning of spring.
But the weather is still very cold.
In winter, you should drink iced cola.
"No need, go buy a large bottle of Coke and a piece of ginger, and make ginger Coke." Lu Lingjun held down Gu Yanjing's hand and glanced at Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan froze instantly.
He didn't know who to listen to.
“Lu Lingjun…” Gu Yanjing’s expression turned unfriendly as he looked at his hand that was being held down.
Lu Lingjun, however, pinched his finger and licked it.
Gu Yanjing froze, his face turning pale.
Without a second thought, Gu Zhiyuan grabbed his phone and ran away.
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Zhiyuan returned. The two people in the living room sat calmly on the sofa as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for the bruise around Lu Lingjun's eye, he would have thought everything was really calm.
Gu Zhixi quickly finished cooking and brought the dishes out. Gu Zhiyuan went in to help, and the two outsiders acted like they were the bosses.
At the dinner table, Lu Lingjun silently poured Gu Yanjing a steaming cup of ginger cola.
Gu Zhiyuan watched with trepidation, afraid that Gu Yanjing might get upset and splash cola on Lu Lingjun's face, scaring his sister.
As a result, although Gu Yanjing was very unwilling, she managed to endure it.
Wait a minute, this isn't what the script says.
"Your Majesty, dinner is served. Please go first." Gu Zhiyuan pushed the pork knuckle in front of Gu Yanjing and smiled ingratiatingly.
Although Gu Zhixi didn't particularly like Gu Yanjing, she could tell from her brother's demeanor that he was a powerful figure and they couldn't afford to offend him. So, she could only angrily lower her head and gnaw on her ribs.
"Is it good?" Lu Lingjun asked Gu Yanjing after he took a bite.
“Okay.” Gu Yan nodded in surprise.
"Then it's her?" Lu Lingjun knew what Gu Yan was thinking about.
"Okay." He gathered his long hair.
When I came back, I hadn't changed my clothes or tied my hair up, and I even managed to eat some food.
Lu Lingjun stood up, walked behind Gu Yanjing, and conjured a hairpin to tie up his hair.
After dinner, Gu Yanjing called the siblings to the sofa.
"Does your sister want to find a job?" Gu Yanjing asked, burping as he drank his piping hot cola.
Even a beautiful woman's hiccups are pleasing to the eye.
Gu Zhixi blushed, much to her chagrin.
Damn, why would such a handsome guy be gay?
She had no chance; she died.
"What kind of work could my sister do with her legs? Your Majesty, please don't be ridiculous." Gu Zhiyuan knew he had a chance, so he shamelessly hinted to Gu Yanjing.
"I'll give you three months to cook, a pair of legs, and eternal life, but you have to follow me."
Having a reliable mother figure was something Gu Yanjing longed for.
He still misses Gu Qiqi's baby.
Why.
"I don't want to, I want to stay with my brother."
Gu Zhixi refused without even thinking.
What good is eternal life to her if she can't see her brother?
"Sister, actually, I have a contract with His Majesty. I am His Majesty's system. Wherever His Majesty goes, I have to go. If you refuse, you will lose your brother."
And if you agree, you can get a pair of legs for free.
This business is worthwhile, sister, please say yes.
Gu Zhiyuan tugged at Gu Zhixi's sleeve, giving her a frantic hint.
"System? You were away working on the system these past three days, did you sell yourself to wake me up?" But Gu Zhixi's focus was different from others.
After she woke up, she heard the doctor talk about her condition. Originally, she was unlikely to wake up because she had already suffered brain damage. It was Gu Zhiyuan who insisted that the hospital continue treatment, and then she woke up.
Gu Zhiyuan is no longer the Gu Zhiyuan he used to be.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhixi picked up the fruit knife from the fruit plate.
"Sister, don't get agitated. Put down the knife and let's talk this out. I had no other choice. It was the only way to save you. Besides, I'll be taken away whether I agree or not, so I might as well wake you up."
Gu Zhiyuan saw the knife in his sister's hand and ran away quickly.
Oh no, my sister's fierce side is back.
“He’s right. Once Shisanqiu has chosen him, it doesn’t matter whether he agrees or not, he’ll still be taken away.” Gu Yanjing chimed in irresponsibly from the side.
Gu Zhixi threw a flying knife, which grazed Gu Zhiyuan's ear.
Gu Zhiyuan almost knelt down.
Gu Yanjing, however, looked at the gentle woman with great surprise.
Oh ho, so this is a hypocrite.
"Come here. Since you were going to be taken away no matter what, why didn't you heal my leg while you were at it?" Gu Zhixi wiped away her tears, feeling both helpless and annoyed.
Other people's younger brothers are all thieves and petty thieves, how come her younger brother is so sensible?
"Well, I'm still doing missions. Once I finish missions in ten planes, your leg will be healed, but I've only been in the fifth plane and I've already stumbled back here."
Gu Zhiyuan sat on the ground, looking aggrieved.
"It's no use, I might as well do it myself." Gu Zhixi glanced at Gu Zhiyuan with disdain, then turned to Gu Yan and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, can we not be forced into this for life? I'll sell myself to you, and you can see how long it will take before you get tired of my brother and me and let us go back."
She understood perfectly well that Gu Yanjing had taken a liking to her, and there was no way she could leave. As for reasoning, well, the person in front of her wasn't one to reason.
"It depends on my mood." Gu Yan glanced at Gu Zhixi, who was very perceptive.
He's actually smarter than that simpleton Gu Zhiyuan.
"Actually, it's not a loss. At least my leg is healed, and I can live for a long time." Gu Zhixi was optimistic.
I have a younger brother, so if anything happens, he can step in.
Gu Zhiyuan: ...Suddenly I feel like I've buried myself in a hole again, damn it.
What happened to his promised "darkening"? He turned evil without any real substance.
Gu Yanjing's life seemed unchanged. He became a trending topic as soon as he returned, and the person who had disappeared for half a year seemed to have never disappeared from the fans' sight.
This directly pushed the two celebrities who bought trending topics off the list, making them furious.
That's right, one of the two is He Zigui.
He Zigui was abandoned by Bai Xi half a century ago and suffered a lot, but he still managed to climb up. Although he was still surrounded by deathly aura, the protagonist's halo protected him and saved him from countless deadly situations.
Recently, the internet has been flooded with fans talking about He Zigui and Liu Tingting's relationship and their feuds, but Gu Yanjing's arrival has taken over the trending topics in no time.
Countless people online are saying that His Majesty is finally back.
Finally, we don't have to see the little orange cat putting on His Majesty's face anymore.
That's right, for half of this, it was always the little orange cat who tremblingly wore Gu Yanjing's face and shakily fulfilled all sorts of unreasonable requests from the fans.
He didn't want to be so obedient.
However, he immediately backed down when facing Gu Zhiyuan.
Life is so hard, I have to make a living by performing.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the play you promised Director Zhuang half a month ago? Shall we still act in it?" Gu Yanjing had been back for a month, and only now did Gu Zhiyuan dare to bother him, bringing over some food as well.
Lu Lingjun didn't like having another woman in the house, so he didn't let Gu Zhixi come over to cook. Instead, he had the little orange cat deliver the food to her.
However, Gu Zhiyuan came today because he had something to do.
"Hmm?" Gu Yanjing lazily played the game.
I'm halfway through, my rank has dropped, my points have dropped too, sigh, I've lost all my titles as the top jungler in the Chinese server.
He finally managed to win one back today.
"There are He Zigui and Liu Tingting." He finally managed to persuade Director Zhuang to bring these two people to the film crew.
According to the original plot, He Zigui played the second male lead in this drama, while the female lead played the second male lead.
"It's already halfway through, and this movie still hasn't been filmed?" Gu Yan turned over in surprise.
"No, we're just waiting for you to come back." Who knows why Director Zhuang is so insistent on Gu Yanjing's return, no matter who else comes.
Could it be that she has feelings for Gu Yanjing?
Director Zhuang: ...If my wife hadn't been so interested in Gu Yanjing and was so determined to stop us from filming, would I have had to wait for someone half a day?
"Alright then, let me know when you turn it on." Gu Yanjing rolled over again.
Lu Lingjun called him to go eat. Gu Yanjing thought for a moment, tossed his phone to Gu Zhiyuan, and then went to eat.
"Play well, or I'll beat you up if you lose points."
He left after saying that.
Gu Zhiyuan looked down at his phone.
Yes, it's definitely the late game, and it's definitely about defending the high ground.
Damn.
They are defending the high ground.
