Chapter 55 Chapter 55 He played three boys to death on the bed...

The wind whistled outside the window, rustling the branches in front of the window eaves.

A black shadow passed over the pure white paper.

Gu Chen looked at the content in disbelief.

The air seemed to be still for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly shook twice.

Gu Chen glanced over and vaguely saw a "Xun" on the screen

. The hand holding the letter paper suddenly tightened. Gu Chen secretly took two breaths before picking up the phone.

Lu Xun's WeChat name is his name.

Xun: This is well written

, followed by a forum link: [[Xun Chen] You are the most brilliant light in my life. More HE every day. Click to see the beautiful love between the school bully and the academic bully QAQ]

Gu Chen: ... ...

If he hadn't read the letter just now, he would have thought that Lu Xun sent this to joke with him. But now.

The palms of his hands were gradually soaked with sweat.

Gu Chen sat on the edge of the bed with his spine stiff. He read the letter from beginning to end for the third time.

...This is too outrageous.

But the handwriting on the letter is clearly his.

There is another sentence at the end of the letter:

I know you will find all this outrageous.

You can and should believe that each of the above sentences is false.

But sooner or later you will find that it is true.

Because you wrote these with your own hands.

...His way of thinking is also his.

The phone vibrated twice again.

Xun: Pick you up tomorrow?

Xun: What do you want to eat for lunch

? Gu Chen stared at the screen in a daze. Before he could figure out how to respond, he suddenly heard a movement in front of the living room door.

He was too familiar with the smell of that movement. Gu Chen immediately turned off the screen of his phone, folded the letter and stuffed it under the pillow. It

was pitch black outside. Gu Chen stepped on the small ground sensor light and walked to the living room. He saw Xu Lian drinking water behind the small bar. The faint light outlined her figure, and because of the blur, she showed a heavy sense of depression.

"Mom?"

Xu Lian put down the cup and turned to look at Gu Chen. Most of her face was buried in the shadows around her, making it difficult to see her expression.

Xu Lian: "Would you like to chat sometime?"

Gu Chen was slightly stunned and nodded quickly: "Yes."

Click -

the switch was turned on.

The strong incandescent light instantly illuminated the entire living room. Because it was too sudden and a little dazzling, Gu Chen couldn't help but squint.

Xu Lian sat down at the dining table.

Gu Chen sat down facing her.

Xu Lian's skin was originally very white. Usually, she worked hard and occasionally her complexion was not good. That whiteness would show a kind of decadence and fatigue, and it looked like it was washed pale.

For example, now.

"Mom, you recently..."

"Are you gay?"

Gu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Du Xin's mother showed me a post on your school forum today."

Du Xin's mother and Xu Lian worked in a hospital. They had a good relationship and knew her daughter's feelings for Gu Chen. She liked Gu Chen very much, so she always acquiesced to her and even gossiped about him.

But these two days, Du Xin's mother felt that something was wrong with her daughter. She was often distracted and sometimes looked melancholy. As a person who had experienced this, she guessed that her daughter might have some problems in her relationship. Until last night, she accidentally saw a learning forum on her daughter's computer. When she flipped through it, it was all gossip about Lu Xun and Gu Chen.

When asked, Du Xin told her everything she had seen and heard in the past few days.

Du Xin's mother was relatively conservative and could not accept such a thing. In addition, Lu Xun's reputation in school has always been not very good. She was afraid that Gu Chen would be influenced by him, so she talked to Xu Lian.

"I also watched the video of you in KTV." Xu Lian's voice sounded calm and calm. If you ignore the fact that the following point was not completely hidden, and it might not be intended to be hidden, it really sounded like a rational mother who cared about her children.

Gu Chen's hands under the table tightened secretly: "Those were all jokes."

Xu Lian stared at Gu Chen with a deep look in his eyes: "I have studied psychology."

Gu Chen pursed his lips. He knew that her mother was not saying this for fun. In addition to finance, Xu Lian also studied psychology as a minor in college, and her grades were outstanding. A leader in Beijing specifically approached her, hoping that she could work in the city bureau to analyze criminal behavior.
"It's just a game." For some reason, when Gu Chen explained this, he felt a little uncomfortable. "If you want to draw a conclusion, don't you need more samples?" 

Xu Lian looked at him intently. The pointer ticked on the wall clock. After a long time, she finally spoke again: "You will be a senior in the next semester. 

Do you want to live on campus?" Gu Chen was stunned, and the two fists placed on his thighs under the table began to tremble: "Are you chasing me away?" 

Xu Lian looked pale and calm: "I just think you can be more efficient that way..." 

"Just because you think I'm gay?" 

Xu Lian frowned slightly, and before she spoke, she heard Gu Chen say: "Even if I really am." 

"Are you chasing me away?" 

Although he tried hard to restrain himself, Gu Chen's voice still trembled: "So many years..." 

It was like a flood that had been accumulated for a long time. After years and months, it suddenly opened up and could no longer be stopped: "So many years, I think about Uncle Luo's death every night." 

Xu Lian's pupils shrank suddenly, and her right hand suddenly pressed on the edge of the table. The knuckles turned a startling white due to excessive force. 

"...Enough." She almost squeezed out two words from her throat. 

But Gu Chen seemed to be deaf. He lowered his head, and his thin figure showed a kind of helplessness under the top light: "If I didn't open the door for my dad that day, what happened later wouldn't have happened." 

Xu Lian was stunned, and astonishment slowly climbed up her face: "...What did you say." 

"A long time ago, I heard you making a phone call." Gu Chen felt his mind foggy, and he spoke only by instinct, "Uncle Luo died to save me from my dad, right?" 

The media reported that Luo Wenzhe died in a car accident that year. In addition, although there are still various speculations on the Internet today, speculations are just speculations. Even if the public has doubts in their hearts, they can only take them as gossip, but he knows that everything connected by those speculations is the fact. 

Xu Lian's breathing was short, and because of the excessive emotions, a bloody taste rose in her throat: "How much do you...know?" 

"...I know everything." 

His biological father was born into a wealthy family, but he was a playboy. Not long after Gu Chen was born, he owed a debt of life and was thrown into prison. When Gu Chen was ten years old, his father was bailed out by the family for some reasons, but was kicked out of the house again not long after. 

After that, Gu's father thought of his ex-wife again. But he found that she had remarried long ago. Her life was much better than his own.
When people have nothing, they are most likely to go crazy, and they are least afraid of going crazy.

On the day Xu Lian gave birth to Luo Xingyuan, he sneaked into the hospital while Luo Wenzhe took her to the prenatal check-up. He tricked Gu Chen into opening the door of the ward, knocked Gu Chen unconscious, and then kidnapped him and the newborn Luo Xingyuan.

Luo Wenzhe immediately called the police after discovering it, and chased after him in person. After finally rescuing Luo Xingyuan, Gu's father was so desperate that he took the unconscious Gu Chen and wanted to sneak to Southeast Asia at night.

Time was tight at the time. Luo Wenzhe had practiced shooting in the United States and served a year in the military with Han Xiu. That night, the two of them went directly after Gu's father.

Gu's father hired two killers to escort him. After a desperate fight, Luo Wenzhe was killed by Gu's father in order to protect Gu Chen. In the end, Han Xiu took Gu Chen, who was unconscious from beginning to end, back to Haicheng.

It is well known that Gu Chen admires Luo Wenzhe. Han Xiu was afraid that the child would be traumatized, so he asked someone to use some tricks to whitewash the incident as a car accident.

For a long time, Gu Chen really thought it was a car accident.

Until he found that Xu Lian's attitude towards him was even colder than before.

Then one late night, he heard Xu Lian crying and choking on the phone with a friend through the door.

He finally understood everything.

"If I can..." The nails dug deep into the flesh, and Gu Chen felt that the place in his heart that had been papered for many years slowly disintegrated in the bursting emotions until it was completely shattered, "If I can."

"I hope it was me who died at that time."

The air was extremely quiet for a while.

Xu Lian: "... Your Uncle Luo wouldn't want to hear you say that."

The hoarse voice sounded like two pieces of rough sandpaper grinding. Gu Chen raised his head and met Xu Lian's bloodshot eyes.

His Adam's apple rolled dryly: "What about you, mom?"

Xu Lian remained silent, her hands no longer trembling, and looked at Gu Chen with a dead face.

After a while, she shook her head gently: "You don't understand."

Then she stood up.

Gu Chen was stunned and stood up as well.

Although there were only four ambiguous words, he still keenly felt something: "What don't I understand?"

Xu Lian didn't like him since childhood, and Luo Wenzhe died because of him, so Xu Lian took her anger out on him and hated him more and more.

He thought this was the truth of the whole incident.

But is there anything else he doesn't know?

Xu Lian didn't say anything and went straight back to the room. Not long after, she pushed a small suitcase out.

It was the suitcase she always used when she was on a business trip, and the things she needed were usually kept in it.

"Mom!"

Seeing Xu Lian open the door, Gu Chen's voice couldn't help but rise.

Xu Lian looked back at her, her eyes were still calm and indifferent, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that there is a hint of complexity underneath: "Do you know what debt your father owed for his life outside?"

Gu Chen opened his lips slightly: "I heard that he owed a loan shark..."

"He played with three boys to death in bed." Xu Lian looked at Gu Chen's suddenly pale face and said lightly, "One of them was the same age as you are now."

Gu Chen was stunned, and astonishment and fear slowly climbed up his entire face until he couldn't help but tremble.

"The Gu family has been a wealthy family for generations. Even if your father is the most disliked one, he has only been in jail for a few years."

Gu Chen looked at Xu Lian's cold eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. The next second, he heard her say, "But even if it's the Gu family, when it comes to the Lu family..."

"Lu Xun is not that kind of person!"

After the voice fell, Gu Chen was stunned.

The air was quiet again. Xu Lian looked at him deeply and walked out with the box.

-

"Brother Lu?"

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Xun came back to his senses from the phone and looked down at Dili holding "Zeng Gu Chen". The blue-haired doll was a bit taller than Dili's original doll, but fortunately it was not heavy and the child could still carry it.

"Can you put big brother in the entrance?" Dili blinked his eyes, unable to hide his excitement, "This way big brother will be able to see me as soon as he walks in tomorrow! How fun!"

Lu Xun smiled, squatted down and touched his head: "Okay, go. Be careful."

Dili went there happily with "Gu Chen" in his arms. Lu

Xun looked back at the phone, and the corners of his lips returned to the horizontal line.

"What?" A chilly and somewhat gloating voice came from the side, "Your wife ignored you?"

Lu Xun glanced at the annoying purple-haired man next to him: "He said something happened at home and he won't come tomorrow."

Biology paused, looking at Geography who was happily playing with his baby not far away: "Then why don't you explain it clearly to the child."

Politics and History had gone back side by side two days ago, and only Geography insisted on seeing Gu Chen before leaving.

Children's intuition is sometimes more acute, and Lu Xun felt vaguely that he might have sensed something.

Lu Xun looked back at his phone.

He sent Gu Chen almost ten messages in one night.

But Gu Chen only replied to the one that he couldn't come because of something.

Before, no matter whether it was the exercises he sent or the messages that were deliberately meant to tease people, Gu Chen would try to quote every message in his reply.

Lu Xun narrowed his eyes, and there was an inexplicable ominous feeling in his heart.
