Chapter 290 Even death will not separate us
Everyone was eating skewers and chatting about various topics.
Jin Suwen suddenly thought of something and nudged Zhang Miaoyu next to him with his arm.
"By the way, Miaomiao, how is the novel you wrote? I saw you said in the group that you were stuck on a writer's block. What was wrong with it? I remember that in the last manuscript you showed me, the two of them were so loving and it seemed like the novel was going to have a grand finale." Jin Suwen asked.
"Stop talking about this. Some time ago, I wrote about a story where the main character, the bottom, was seriously ill and didn't want to delay the main character, so he had to pretend to be a scumbag and break up with the main character. Then the main character left the country heartbroken."
"The current development is that the protagonist, the top, turns evil and comes back, and meets the protagonist, the bottom, again. The two of them are fighting each other in various ways. The protagonist, the top, originally wanted to take revenge on the protagonist, but he softened his heart every time."
"Then the protagonist, the bottom, loves the top, but at the same time, he is afraid that if he continues his relationship with the top, his death will only make him even more sad, so he has been resisting the top's contact against his will and keeps saying hurtful things."
"My problem now is that I can't grasp the contradictory feeling of the protagonist who is desiring and resisting at the same time. I have been deleting and revising for several days and always feel that something is missing and it is a bit ooc. I am so upset." Zhang Miaoyu sighed after he finished speaking.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the conversation between the two. Tao Zhi knew what they were talking about and what the terms top and bottom meant, but confusion was written in the eyes of the other men.
"Mr. Zhang, the storyline of your novel is so clichéd. I didn't like it when I was in primary school. Now people like happy stories." Lang Bushin complained.
"Go away, you, a male reader, don't tell me what to do as a female author." Zhang Miaoyu rolled her eyes while eating skewers.
"I read both male and female novels. Don't underestimate me. I have also read those excellent and famous novels with two male protagonists."
"Listen to me, this setting of yours will fail sooner or later. You might as well change it to a character where the protagonist is a person who travels through a book, and they have to break up because of the mission." Lang Bushin said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Dongnan glanced at Lang Bushin, with some surprise in his eyes because Lang Bushin would read a novel with two male protagonists.
I thought he knew nothing about homosexuality.
Did Lang Buxin and his friends read the script? Tao Zhi was sweating profusely for a moment.
"Excuse me for interrupting, what are these two male protagonists and top and bottom that you are talking about? Why do I feel like your conversation is encrypted?" Gu Chengxiu asked confusedly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Miaoyu secretly looked at Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"It can only be understood but not expressed in words." Zhang Miaoyu said.
"It's just two handsome guys dating, just like Brother Tao and Xiaocheng did before." Lang Bushin said without thinking.
As soon as these words were spoken, the table fell silent for a moment.
Gu Chengxiu was obviously stunned, his mind was a little confused.
Last time when he was asking who Brother Gong Cheng's white moonlight was in front of the company elevator, Lang Bushin mentioned something about Brother Gong Cheng and Tao Zhi in a hurry.
At that time, Gu Chengxiu smelled the scent of melon, and at the banquet, he pulled Lang Buxin to torture him for a confession. However, Lang Buxin remained tight-lipped and just told all kinds of nonsense to amuse Gu Chengxiu. Gu Chengxiu lost interest and stopped asking.
Gu Chengxiu has always known that Tao Zhi is bisexual, and he also knows that Tao Zhi has been pestering Gong Cheng, but isn't that Tao Zhi's wishful thinking?
Have they been together before?
Is Brother Gong Cheng’s white moonlight Tao Zhi?
Inexplicably, Gu Chengxiu felt a slight pull in his heart, but he was unable to grasp this slight fluctuation and his face was blank.
When Lang Bushin saw that everyone had quieted down, he realized that he had been too talkative again. After all, there were a few new people at the table who were not aware of the situation, and he didn't know whether Gong Cheng and Tao Zhi had reconciled yet.
"What I mean is, two handsome guys like Brother Tao and Xiao Cheng are dating. I'm afraid you don't have any idea of ​​what a handsome guy is, so I'll give you an example, haha." Lang Bushin laughed awkwardly a few times to make up for what he said.
Zhang Miaoyu and a few others agreed with awkward smiles, and laughed the matter off.
Gong Cheng's heart was filled with turmoil at this moment. His fingertips could not help but tremble. His heart felt as if it was being strangled, and a feeling of suffocation swept over him.
The feeling of blockage in the throat made Gong Cheng unable to breathe. Helplessness and despair were running rampant in Gong Cheng's chest. His face turned pale and his lips lost their rosy color.
Since Gong Cheng sorted out his thoughts in the room today, he has been thinking about what the reason was that forced his husband to break up with him.
After listening to Zhang Miaoyu's description of the novel's plot, Gong Cheng felt like he forgot to breathe.
If the reason why my husband had to break up with me even though his family had agreed and given their blessing was illness, then everything seems to make sense.
A disease that would cost my husband his life, and make him prefer to push me away rather than have me grieve over his death.
Tao Zhi, who was eating with his mouth full of seasoning, noticed that Gong Cheng next to him had stopped moving. Puzzled, he turned his head to look and found that Gong Cheng's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and cold sweat was pouring out of his temples.
Oh my god, did he choke? Tao Zhi was shocked.
Tao Zhi hurriedly stuffed the skewer in his hand into his mouth and threw away the skewer. He panicked and patted Gong Cheng on the back with his hands, making a slapping sound. This pulled Gong Cheng, who seemed to be drowning, out of the whirlpool of thoughts.
Gong Cheng's throat was extremely dry and his lungs felt pulled. After Tao Zhi slapped him a few times, Gong Cheng started coughing violently, and his eyes turned red from coughing.
After he finished coughing, Gong Cheng glanced at Tao Zhi, only to see that his eyes were red and his emotions were fluctuating. His colorless lips opened several times, but he was trembling and couldn't utter a word.
Tao Zhi was relieved when he saw Gong Cheng's expression began to improve.
"Eat slowly. How can a grown man like you choke like this?"
Tao Zhi was helpless, as Gong Cheng almost became the unprecedented and unparalleled protagonist who died of choking while eating skewers too quickly.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Miaoyu asked worriedly.
Gong Cheng didn't blink, just stared at Tao Zhi who picked up the skewers again. The pain in his heart continued, the dullness and sadness in his eyes still flowed, but he tried hard to pull up the corners of his mouth.
"I'm fine, I just choked." Gong Cheng explained, suppressing the trembling in his voice.
After eating and drinking, Gong Cheng took the initiative to go to the cashier to pay the bill. The people behind him waved and dispersed, making an appointment to meet again next time.
Gong Cheng was about to pay when the lady boss smiled and said,
"Are you the small town that Xiaozhi mentioned?"
"You are indeed a handsome guy. No wonder Xiaozhi has been obsessed with you for three years." said the proprietress.
Gong Cheng paused in scanning the code, raised his head and looked at the proprietress in confusion.
"I am." Gong Cheng replied.
The proprietress was obviously also in the mood to eat melon, she lowered her voice and moved her head closer.
"Have you reconciled with Xiaozhi?" the proprietress asked.
Gong Cheng was confused as to why the proprietress knew him and knew about him and his husband.
"No... not yet." Gong Cheng replied.
The proprietress looked regretful when she heard this.
"I saw you two coming here together and thought you were back together."
"Xiao Zhi is such a devoted kid. I've been drunk and crying every time in the past three years. Every time I yelled, 'I'm sorry, Xiao Cheng, please don't leave.' All the old customers in my store know who you are."
Gong Cheng was stunned when he heard this. Even though he had already heard once from Qi Zhuo about the master's condition after he left, he still felt very nervous when he heard it again from someone else.
"Young people are full of energy and conflicts will arise between them. It's easy to get over some things, but when you reach my age, you will know that except for death, nothing is unacceptable."
"Communication is the ladder of human progress. This was said by Zhou Shuren, right? No matter what the matter is, communicate more and don't regret it when you are old." The proprietress said earnestly.
Gong Cheng felt bitter in his heart and his expression was torn between emotions.
But what if my husband and I are facing death?
Gong Cheng did not refute the proprietress's statement that it was actually Gorky who said it. He just suppressed his emotions and nodded slightly.
"Gong Cheng, have you paid? Go pick up Xiao Baga and the others." Tao Zhi waved and shouted to Gong Cheng.
Gong Cheng scanned the code to pay and was about to leave when he suddenly turned back to look at the proprietress with a gleam in his eyes and a determined look.
"We will always be together." Gong Cheng said solemnly.
Not even death can separate us.
