Big brother, stop it.
"Stop!"
Li Zhu stood up suddenly and slapped the iron table.
Gao Cong'ai's hand slid down from his leg and he stood up.
"What's wrong?" His expression was calm, in stark contrast to the extreme thoughts in his mind.
Li Zhu: "Nothing."
Just want to keep you occupied.
Fortunately, there is a plug-in for this quick wear, otherwise I really don’t know how to get along with Gao Cong’ai.
Li Zhu organized his words and sternly lectured, "I'm glad you defended me, but it's not advisable to proactively use violence against others."
[Emotional value -150. It turns out he thinks I'm an uncontrollable violent person, just like those people. I'm a little disappointed, but I still want to be friends with him.]
Unexpectedly, Gao Cong'ai's score would decrease, and Li Zhu hurried to remedy the situation.
"That person today didn't dare to fight back because of the Gao family, but what if we meet someone who dares to fight back in the future? Gao Cong'ai, I don't want you to get hurt. As a friend, I will be very worried."
[Emotional value +150, I'm sorry for blaming you wrongly. I deserve to die for making you worry.]
Li Zhu: “…”
"Are you afraid of me?" Gao Cong'ai's eyes were nervous, his thick black eyelashes trembled, but his teeth were secretly clenched.
He thought of many ways to keep the young man away from him if he wanted to.
"You're here to help me, why should I be afraid of you?"
It's a very relaxed tone.
Only then did Gao Cong'ai realize that he had been holding his breath while waiting for an answer.
"That's great." He grabbed Li Zhu's hand and squeezed it tightly, his smile widening and his eyes reddening slightly. "That's great."
The man's hand was very strong, but fortunately Li Zhu didn't feel any pain and didn't even frown. Instead, he patted the back of the man's hand to comfort him.
"What's so exciting about this?" Li Zhu wanted to know the secret in Gao Cong'ai's heart, so he reminded him cryptically, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
A strange smile appeared on the man's handsome face. "Let me tell you a secret. The guest room you stayed in before was the bedroom my mother and I used to have."
Aunt Chen said that Gao Cong'ai's mother had no official status and died in an artificial lake for unknown reasons.
Gao Cong'ai was at the scene when the person was fished out.
Li Zhu suddenly remembered the pink silk sheets he had slept on that night, which were clearly more in line with most women's aesthetics...
"Has any other woman stayed in that room?" Fearing Gao Cong'ai might have missed something, he added, "A friend or relative."
Gao Cong'ai: "After my mother died, I moved to the next room. All the furnishings in that room remained the same as before. No one had ever lived there."
He was very calm when he said these words, showing no signs of illness.
This shows that his mother’s “death” was not a real stimulus for Gao Cong’ai.
The human brain has a limited capacity, and Li Zhu couldn't think about everything, so he quickly shifted his focus back to the room.
He didn't notice that his voice was trembling slightly. "Why should it remain the same? He's been dead for so many years."
"Because..." Gao Cong'ai said word by word, a sinister smile like a puppet's face, extremely cold and gloomy, "She has to go back to her room every night."
Li Zhu's scalp exploded, and in an instant, all the hairs on his body stood up, and goose bumps covered his arms and neck.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not a joker." Gao Cong'ai reached out and touched Li Zhu's face. "Why are you so scared?"
Li Zhu slapped his hand away, "Then swear."
"If I lie to you, I'll die."
"..." Li Zhu punched Gao Cong'ai on the shoulder, "Who asked you to swear an oath? Say it now, bah, bah, bah."
The feeling of being cared for and concerned about is addictive and exciting. Gao Cong'ai tried hard to control his almost distorted expression and spat three times.
Li Zhu slumped back onto the stool. "According to you, the Gao family has always been haunted, right?"
On a rainy night when he stayed overnight, he had a nightmare of drowning.
When she woke up early in the morning, she found slippers scattered around. It must be that Gao Cong'ai's mother wanted to go to bed, but found that someone had already taken her seat.
So she stood by the bed all night, watching him quietly...
The picture was so beautiful that Li Zhu felt cold all over whenever he thought about it.
This explains the footprints in the living room early this morning.
The dead woman was unhappy that he had lived in her room, so she followed him to share the house.
The idea provided by Shen Pingfang was correct, those were the footprints of a water ghost.
"Xiaozhe." Gao Cong'ai asked softly, "Are you scared? If you are, you can sleep with me at night."
Li Zhu looked into his deep eyes and frowned, "Tell me the truth, is this so-called secret something you made up to trick me into sleeping with you?"
"I said, I don't joke, and I won't lie." Gao Cong'ai didn't like being questioned by him, and his face was gloomy.
Li Zhu was frightened by his gaze and said guiltily, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you."
Gao Cong'ai's temper changed suddenly. Just now he was like a puppy begging for a bone, but now he turned into a black whirlwind. He glanced at Li Zhu coldly and turned away.
"Hey, wait for me." The other party walked too fast, leaving Li Zhu no chance to stay.
He was so anxious that he scratched his head and called out the system.
"Brother Tong, is there any data update on Gao Cong'ai?"
"Yes." The system said and turned on the light screen.
[Emotional value -85, Xiaozhe is not behaving well, so let him learn his lesson]
Spicy balls.
Li Zhu was in a heavy mood.
I have a feeling that tonight will be a sleepless night.
Gao Cong'ai's disappearance did not cause any ripples at the banquet. Without him, the hall returned to its previous lively and relaxed atmosphere.
Li Zhu walked in and no one dared to say anything. He found a quiet corner and continued eating and drinking until his stomach was full.
Just before the end of the banquet, Gao Congyu came over in a wheelchair, handed him a glass of red wine, and apologized hypocritically.
"I originally invited you here to treat you well, but I'm really too busy. I'm sorry."
"You're different from us ordinary people. You're a busy person." Li Zhu clinked glasses with him and said with a smile, "I understand."
It's the familiar yin and yang smell.
According to Gao Congyu's temper, he would have turned away the customer with a sullen face long ago, but he endured it and said, "I'm glad you're not angry."
The two goblets collided, making a crisp sound.
Li Zhu took a big sip and pursed his lips, "It's so spicy."
"You're drinking too fast," Gao Congyu said. "This is a 130-year-old auction wine from a French winery. If you smell it carefully, don't you see a faint floral aroma? It's slightly sweet at first, followed by a rich fruity aroma and a mellow wine aroma..."
Gao Congyu wanted to make a comeback, so he deliberately told Li Zhu some knowledge about red wine that he couldn't understand.
Unfortunately, he did not see embarrassment and confusion on the young man's face as he had hoped.
Many times, he suspected that Li Zhu's brain was abnormal, his emotional intelligence was low, he couldn't speak, and he couldn't receive the malice from the outside world.
If an ordinary person came to such an occasion, he would be ashamed to hold his head up because he felt out of place. But he just curled up on the sofa and ate like a pig.
She's a perfect match for that psychopath Gao Cong'ai.
"That sounds so classy." Li Zhu knew that he hated him, so he deliberately clinked his glasses with Gao Congyu's again using the spot where his lips had been.
Gao Congyu felt nauseous, so he turned the cup and took a sip.
Li Zhu leaned over and placed his palm on the man's arm. Gao Congyu smelled the scent of cheap laundry detergent.
"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Gao. Otherwise, I would never have the chance to attend a high-society banquet in my life." After saying that, he slid his palm along the arm.
Li Zhu licked his lips and looked at Gao Congyu with a confused and ambiguous look.
Gao Congyu didn't pull his arm away. "There will be many opportunities like this in the future. If you like it, I'll let you know in advance next time."
"That's great." Li Zhu still didn't take his hand away, but instead lowered his body even lower.
The breath of the man who spoke swept across Gao Congyu's nose, carrying a hint of alcohol, "Why is Mr. Gao so nice to me?"
Gao Congyu's stomach was churning.
He knew that Xu Xiaozhe was gay, and he also knew that his words and actions were misleading.
But when the other party was really deceived by him and showed ambiguity, the rejection and hatred from the depths of his soul made every nerve in his body twitch and ache.
The bad mood reached its peak.
Gao Congyu pushed Li Zhu away violently, but was afraid that he would leave, so he put on a stern face and made a lame excuse.
"Sorry, I suddenly remembered something and have to go back to the study."
He left after saying that and locked himself in the room.
[Negative value +180, how much longer do I have to wait? I've had enough of dealing with such lowly people.]
[Negative value +210, why didn't he get hit and killed? Why, why, why, if he had died that day, there wouldn't be so many problems now. Die, you short-lived bastard, die now!]
[Negative value +160, if it weren't for my father, I would really want to run you over with my car right now]
[Negative value +355, this bastard actually dared to touch me. When this is over, I will chop off his hand and feed it to the dogs.]
Details popped up one after another, leaving Li Zhu stunned.
I didn't expect Gao Congyu to hate me to this extent.
As expected, one has to be ruthless when attacking, otherwise it will just be scratching the surface and won’t be effective.
Li Zhu read the above information twice again, covering his mouth with his hands and laughing.
It can be confirmed that the original owner's car accident was caused by Gao Congyu, and Gao Yanhe was also involved.
He shook his red wine glass, hummed a song in his heart, and watched the guests leave one by one.
The guests in the hall left one after another, and when he was the only one left, Aunt Chen finally arrived.
Aunt Chen was very busy tonight. After receiving the notice from Gao Congyu, she rushed to the hall without stopping.
Seeing that Li Zhu was still there, she felt relieved. "It's a good thing you didn't leave. The eldest master said it was late at night and you had been drinking, so it was not safe to go home alone, so he asked you to stay in the villa tonight."
Li Zhu put down his wine glass and said, "How can this be so embarrassing?"
Aunt Chen: "The eldest young master treats you as a good friend. It's too polite for you to say that."
Well, friends who want to chop off my hands.
Li Zhu: "Okay then, shall I stay in the same room as last time?"
"Yes, the guest room next to the young master." Aunt Chen still had work to do, so she left in a hurry after giving instructions.
Li Zhu walked up to the second floor as if he was familiar with the place. When he passed by Gao Cong'ai's room, he knocked on the door three times.
It was quiet inside and no one opened the door.
"What a bad temper." Li Zhu muttered as he walked to the next room. The goose bumps that had disappeared appeared again.
He gripped the cold door handle and shuddered.
If the guest room was really haunted, Aunt Chen and Gao Congyu would have known about it and should have moved out long ago.
Li Zhu suddenly remembered that he had once asked Gao Cong'ai why they still lived together if their relationship was not good.
Gao Cong'ai's answer was——
"Because we are a family."
Now that I think about it, could it be that what he meant was that the Gao family must live together in the villa?
A two-faced brother, a younger brother with serious mental problems, and a dead mother... As for Gao Yan and his father, can they temporarily live in a nursing home because of their special physical conditions?
I don’t know how long I stood in the corridor before I heard Aunt Chen’s voice behind me.
"Xiao Xu, why don't you go in?"
Seeing Li Zhuwang coming over, she raised the tray and said, "I thought you had some wine, so I came to bring you some honey water."
Li Zhu came back to his senses and took it with both hands, "Thank you, Aunt Chen."
Aunt Chen is a good person. I wonder if asking her can give me any clues.
"Do you have something to say?" Aunt Chen saw that he was hesitant to speak, so she took the initiative to speak, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Aunt, has anything strange happened in the villa?" Li Zhu glanced at the next door. The door was closed. He wondered if Gao Cong'ai heard it.
Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, "What exactly do you mean?"
"It's haunted." Li Zhu said bluntly.
Aunt Chen's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. "No, there are no ghosts in the world."
Li Zhu blocked her way and said, "Aunt, to be honest, I had a strange dream the night I stayed in the guest room."
Aunt Chen's body was stiff, her mouth tightly shut and she said nothing.
"I dreamed I was drowning," Li Zhu fabricated. "I also dreamed a woman was standing at the head of my bed, staring at me. She said it was her room."
Aunt Chen shuddered violently.
Strange things did happen in the villa. After investigation, it was found that they were all pranks played by the young master and could not be classified as haunted.
But it still caused her a lot of psychological trauma.
Li Zhu: "You must know something."
"I don't know..." Aunt Chen walked around Li Zhu, "I, I haven't cleaned the kitchen yet, so I'll go downstairs first."
Li Zhu stood still and said, "Aunt Chen, I know you are a good person, otherwise you wouldn't have reminded me twice."
Aunt Chen paused for a few seconds, then turned back and waved to Li Zhu, "There's still a lot of work left in the kitchen. Xiao Xu, can you come down and help me?"
Li Zhu understood what she meant and happily replied, "Okay!"
Just as he was about to leave, Gao Cong'ai's door opened a crack.
There was no light in the room, and there was darkness behind the man. His facial features were squeezed through the narrow gap as he stared at Li Zhu.
He said faintly, "You still refuse to believe me."
Compared to your mother, you are the devil, brother. Li Zhu took a deep breath, reached in, and placed his hand on Gao Cong'ai's head.
"If you don't believe me, I can just ignore your words. Why bother asking Aunt Chen? I just want to know more details."
Gao Cong'ai seemed to be convinced. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips unhappily.
Li Zhu's fingers sank into the man's hair and rubbed it gently, "Be good, I'll sleep with you tonight."
Aunt Chen's subtle expression is enough to show that there are many stories hidden in the house.
Perhaps, the ghost of Gao Cong'ai's mother has always been there.
Maybe she was standing on the other side of the guest room door, eavesdropping on their conversation.
In this situation, whoever dares to sleep alone is a true warrior.
But Li Zhu didn't want to be a warrior.
