Gu Jinmian went to Yin Moshu’s junior high school, and the students at the school took pictures of him. They were well-behaved and didn’t upload them that day, instead, they obediently posted them the next morning.
Secrets were only exciting when shared with others.
Fans of the couple were screaming and nearly fainting, especially when Gu Jinmian said, “Yes! He loves me very much.”
[Ah ah, isn’t saying this too proudly?]
[So sweet, so sweet, I’m being rolled into a cocoon.]
[Yes, he loves him a lot. What about it? Do we need to show it?]
[Do we still need to show it? We’ve already secretly investigated Yin Moshu’s junior high school love life; this possessiveness is so petty.]
[Hurry up and bring this child who’s doing useless work back to @Yin Moshu.]
Gu Jinmian lay back quietly, not moving.
But maybe having experienced social death too many times, he had developed resistance. After a while, he started mumbling again.
Because the bedroom was very quiet at the time, Yin Moshu heard his soft muttering.
“It was always like this.”
Yin Moshu: “…”
Gu Jinmian didn’t hear a response, very unpleasant, he continued to speak softly, “I didn’t have a brother, so wrote three older brothers for me. I didn’t have a mom, so wrote a mom for me. And Ji Nan always looked grumpy, childish, and competitive.”
Yin Moshu really wanted to plug in earplugs.
Gu Jinmian, being his usual self, kept chattering away. The more he chattered, the more evident the smile at the corners of his mouth became, and the happier his heart. Eventually, he got so excited that he rolled over to Yin Moshu, hugged his neck, and enthusiastically bounced around, “Why do you love me so much!”
Yin Moshu: “…..”
Gu Jinmian didn’t notice his abnormality; he continued to rub his chin and neck while playfully bouncing around on him, completely oblivious to Yin Moshu’s stifled groans.
The sounds were hoarse and somewhat painful.
Gu Jinmian: “…”
Gu Jinmian knew why he was groaning.
He felt it.
And, of course, he understood why there was a bit of pain.
The instigator of all this chaos was him bouncing around recklessly.
Gu Jinmian became as quiet as a chicken, silently and softly crawling down from Yin Moshu’s body.
Yin Moshu thought he could finally sleep peacefully, but ten minutes later, he spoke again, “If you want, we can.”
Yin Moshu gritted his teeth, “Shut up! Or else, go to the study!”
Finally, silence.
Yin Moshu, exhausted, closed his eyes. Being tortured by him was even more exhausting than filming for two days and two nights.
The next day, with no early scenes to attend to, both of them woke up late. Fatty, with breakfast in hand, swiped the card to enter the room. The unexpected scene almost made him stumble.
Xiao Liu rushed over after hearing his exclamation, also shocked with wide-open eyes.
How did the presidential suite, which had been so pristine the night before, end up like this?
Could people forgive them?
Then again, considering the size of the trees, the streetlights outside, and the soil, the hotel staff must have known when they moved in.
Yin Moshu was on set all day, so it had to be the young master of the hotel—their boss.
Xiao Liu: “…”
Rich people really go all out when it comes to creating a romantic atmosphere. Just thinking about the large round bed made them feel like shedding tears.
The two of them marveled while touring the room.
When Yin Moshu came out of the bedroom, they were scribbling on the wall, “There is also a confession for Yin Moshu.”
Yin Moshu approached and found several confessions on the wall—some that others could understand and some that only the two of them knew.
[Yin Moshu is so handsome!]
[Yin Moshu from Class Three is amazing!]
[Writing a world together in the black forest.]
He chuckled softly, and beside the bench, he discovered some engraved words on the legs of a chair.
Not on the backrest or the armrests, but on the legs of the chair.
It seemed like a short-legged little boy crouched there, carving the words. On one side, there was “眠” (Mian), and on the other, “殊” (Shu). It was as if this had become their exclusive seat, to be used from childhood to old age.
These items in the room were preserved during their stay for a few days and would be removed only after five days.
When Gu Jinmian left, he told the hotel manager, “Sorry for the trouble.”
“No trouble at all!” the manager said with a smile. When Gu Jinmian was about to leave, the manager opened his mouth as if to say something but didn’t.
Well, it’s fine, it’s not a big deal.
Only the chairs and streetlights were taken at Yin Moshu’s request.
After finishing filming, Yin Moshu rested for three days in S City with Gu Jinmian. Then, he would depart to shoot the winter part of “Snow.” Although filming for this part wouldn’t start until December, he had to go early to learn some figure skating scenes.
Of course, Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an also had to go.
For the past few days, Gu Jinmian almost wanted to stick to Yin Moshu every day, but he also felt that it was too girly. Moreover, that night when he said that they could, Yin Moshu unexpectedly silenced him, and he was a bit resentful about that.
So, on the second day, he didn’t go to find Yin Moshu.
This morning, he woke up early for breakfast, planning to go to the company after eating.
All three brothers were having breakfast, and Gu Qingyang swept his eyes over him. “Tsk tsk, even the food couldn’t hold down the corners of your mouth. Have you two made up?”
Gu Jinmian ignored him.
“I’m telling you, the more popular male celebrities become, the more tempting they are. Thus, need to be careful and not be too arrogant.”
“I get it,” Gu Jinmian hmphed, took a bite with his spoon, and said, “He loves me now. In this world, he can only love me personally.”
“……”
The three of them couldn’t find the right words to respond to him.
“Don’t doubt it,” Gu Jinmian triumphantly said. “We are all evidence that he loves me.”
“???”
The power of love is frightening.
Love can lower one’s intelligence.
Gu Qingyang said, “Who was the one with red eyes in the hospital insisting that you two were a fake couple?”
Gu Jinmian didn’t want to argue with him. After finishing breakfast, he stood up. “Wait, I’m going to snatch my boyfriend’s movie back.”
Gu Qingyang: “…..”
Gu Jinmian hadn’t been to the company for several days, and people in the company warmly greeted him when he showed up.
“Boss, I miss you so much.”
“It’s not me you miss, it’s the coffee and milk tea.”
“Boss, did you find out about Yin Moshu’s junior high school relationships?”
“……”
In the entertainment industry, work often started around nine in the morning, but Gu Jinmian arrived early. He leisurely sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, sipping coffee, planning to contact Director Lin at nine-thirty.
The office was on the third floor, and from the window, Gu Jinmian had a clear view of the small courtyard.
A car parked at the entrance, and Bai Xinyu sneakily came down, looking around. When he saw no one, he opened the back door, and Du Bai’an came down from inside.
Gu Jinmian: “?”
The two quickly swiped their key cards at the entrance, just as they entered, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out of the nearby coffee shop. He tightly grabbed Du Bai’an’s clothes and shouted something.
Gu Jinmian immediately put down his coffee cup and rushed over.
As he got closer, he could hear what the man was shouting, “I’m your dad, isn’t it natural for you to give me some money?”
“If you don’t give it, I’ll expose it to the media.”
So, it was the scumbag father from the original story who ruined Du Bai’an.
How dare he come and cause trouble?
The two of them already stood inside the door, and it was almost closed. However, the middle-aged man’s arm extended inside, tightly gripping Du Bai’an’s clothes.
Bai Xinyu pushed the door while forcefully slapping the man, “Release him quickly! If you don’t, I’ll hit you!”
Gu Jinmian: “?”
“Hit me! I’m just asking my son for money, and if you, this outsider hits me? I’ll even expose it, calling you an ungrateful artist!”
Bai Xinyu: “Isn’t this shameless?”
“I’ll call the media right now and cry about it here. Do you believe it?”
Gu Jinmian: “Let go.”
Hearing his voice, relief shown on one person’s face, and embarrassment on the other’s.
“Home!”
“Boss.”
Both of them obediently gave way. Bai Xinyu released the man’s arm, stepping back. Du Bai’an couldn’t move much as the man still had a tight grip on his clothes, but he shifted his body slightly.
Hearing Du Bai’an call him “boss” and saying to let them go, the man became even more arrogant. “He’s your boss, right? Perfect! I wanted to have a word with him anyway.”
Saying that, he was about to approach.
Gu Jinmian didn’t say a word. He licked the inside of his cheek and went over to the iron door, delivering a kick.
The iron door banged, accompanied by a sharp and agonizing scream.
The force of that kick was evident in those two distinct sounds.
The door was made of iron, with a heavy weight. His arm, stuck between the two doors, couldn’t resist the pressure of the heavy doors, and he winced in pain, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Finally, he let go.
Both of them stood there in shock.
Gu Jinmian disdainfully looked at Bai Xinyu. “Get into the company.”
He pulled Du Zhong’s arm forward, saying, “Come on, didn’t you want to come in?”
He happened to be pulling the arm that was caught by the door, directly on the injured part. Using some force, Du Zhong cried out in pain, “Ah, let go! What are you doing? I won’t go in, let go!”
Bai Xinyu was even more stunned.
Seeing Gu Jinmian dragging Du Zhong into the company, the two quickly followed.
Hearing the screams, quite a few people from the company gathered at the door and windows to see what was happening. Du Zhong, who was being pulled in by Gu Jinmian, was not a new sight for some.
Gu Jinmian noticed and asked, “Has he been here before?”
Bai Xinyu was the first to respond, “Yes, he has. He came from An’s previous company and bullied An.”
Du Bai’an’s web series had ended earlier than Bai Xinyu’s, and during this time, he had filmed several variety shows. The pace of variety shows was fast, and Du Zhong only discovered his son’s fame on television recently.
He repeatedly came to Du Bai’an’s residence asking for money, demanding millions each time. Since Du Bai’an refused to give him that money, he started causing trouble.
Bai Xinyu wanted to take Du Bai’an to his place, but Du Bai’an refused. So they came to the company, not expecting Du Zhong to continue causing trouble here.
Both of them being celebrities made it difficult to deal with such a scoundrel in the public eye.
“If you don’t give in, that’s the right choice. If you give in once, there will be countless times. People like him will try to drain you of everything.” Gu Jinmian sneered, “Trash!”
“What are you saying? Do you know who I am? I am his father, asking my son for money is justified!” Du Zhong, with slightly eased pain, began to boast. It was unknown if it was due to Du Bai’an or Bai Xinyu, but he felt empowered, “I’ll expose this in the media!”
Gu Jinmian laughed, “Why didn’t you come out and say you’re his father when he was a child?”
“Never mind,” he said, “Do you know who I am?”
Du Zhong wasn’t entirely sure, but he knew that he was Du Bai’an’s boss, and he probably cared a lot about Du Bai’an’s future.
Hearing from his gambling buddies, he learned that nowadays, celebrities easily make millions. His son must have earned him a considerable amount of money.
With this in mind, he felt more confident facing Gu Jinmian.
Without answering, someone else spoke up for him.
An employee said, “He is Gu Jinmian, the young master of the Gu Group.”
Gu Jinmian responded, “Who told you to say that?”
“Ah?”
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Liu said, “He is Gu Jinmian, the pervert who has tortured several young celebrities!”
“…..”
In the silence of others, Xiao Liu observed the boss’s expression and quickly grasped the situation.
On the office projection screen, an article written by the gossip marketing account to grab attention appeared. “Ah.”
After a moment, Du Zhong looked back and forth between Gu Jinmian and the person in the photo on the screen. He swallowed hard, feeling like he had hit a hard target and was a bit overwhelmed.
Gu Jinmian asked, “Do you know who my second brother is?”
Employee: “It’s Gu Lifan, the president of the Gu Group, the person who rivals gods in the business world.”
Gu Jinmian: “Do you know who my eldest brother is?”
Employee: “It’s Gu Xijun. Well, we don’t need to mention him, he’s a well-known figure on the television.”
Du Zhong panicked.
Gu Jinmian grabbed his collar, pulling him forward, and said coldly, “Young celebrities tortured by me didn’t even make a ripple. Do you understand how easy it is for me to make someone disappear?”
“Let me make it clear. Du Bai’an makes money for me. If you dare to take a penny from him, you’re just trying to anger the Gus and make your life worse than death.”
Gu Jinmian’s eyes turned icy, recalling the ruthlessness with which he kicked the door without hesitation. The sweat on Du Zhong’s forehead intensified.
Gu Jinmian released him.
Du Zhong slumped in place.
“Why, do I have to personally escort you out?”
Du Zhong immediately scrambled up with only one arm supporting him and ran off quickly. Fortunately, closing the iron door behind him.
Bai Xinyu: “…”
“People who have been beaten down by society are usually bullies who bully the weak and fear the strong,” said Gu Jinmian. “You have to be tough to scare them off.”
“Boss, you’re so cool!”
Gu Jinmian turned to face Du Bai’an. “We can’t choose our fathers. Don’t let his actions affect you. If he comes again, we’ll kick him out!”
“Right!”
“Don’t let him get to you.”
Du Bai’an nodded firmly, his eyes slightly reddened.
He hadn’t expected to find support in the entertainment industry, especially in front of others, after facing his father’s ugly and disgusting behavior. He was grateful for the comforting words.
“Thank you.”
Gu Jinyin hummed to himself as he went upstairs, saying, “People like him would behave obediently after being sent to work with Ji Ming for a while.”
The mention of Ji Ming caught Gu Jinmian off guard.
After going upstairs, he tentatively sent a message to Ji Ming, “In prison?”
Ji Ming: “…..”
In the past half a year, Gu Jinyin had only contacted him twice. The first time asking if he was in the hospital, and now, questioning if he was in prison.
Ji Ming reasonably suspected that this guy was deliberately trying to pick a fight. Who talks like this?
But he dared not argue, he was still scared from the last encounter with the three Gu brothers.
Ji Ming: “Not in prison.”
Gu Jinmian: “Oh, you’re not there.”
After the exposure of Hang Yuanting’s scandals, he was completely blacklisted. Investigative agencies began probing into him and Ji Ming. Surprisingly, Ji Ming’s actions didn’t land him in prison?
Ji Ming: “…”
Ji Ming: “I didn’t break the law! It was consensual, mutually beneficial, why would I go to jail for that!”
Gu Jinyin: “.”
Ji Ming’s exclamation mark suddenly gave Gu Jinyin a sense of fear, as if he were dominated by Yin Moshu.
Gu Jinyin: “So, you haven’t been in the fighting club with Yin Moshu lately?”
Ji Ming: “…”
He was on his way to play airsoft with his friends. They had organized an outdoor game, more thrilling than regular airsoft matches.
Half an hour ago, Yin Moshu messaged him, saying he was joining too.
Gu Jinmian had sensed that something was off long ago. When chatting with Ji Ming, this abnormality became even more apparent.
He Bujin’s portrayal of every character was miserable, each with an unfavorable fate. None of them had a smooth life or a good outcome.
Most of the characters created by He Bujin would go through plots with less logical brutality.
Gu Jinmian held his phone in a daze for a while, pursed his lips, and messaged Ji Ming, “Have you noticed that Yin Moshu has sadistic tendencies?”
This was a difficult question to answer.
Ji Ming hesitated.
Gu Jinmian: “Where are you? Send me your location, I’ll come to join the game.”
Ji Ming: “…”
Gu Jinmian: “Hurry up and send it over, don’t force me to go to my second brother!”
Ji Ming immediately sent his real-time location.
Gu Jinmian acted quite swiftly but slowed down when he reached a certain place.
It was a mountainous area in the suburbs.
Ji Ming, this guy, always ended up doing something bad in these kinds of places.
Gu Jinmian: “Stay where you are, don’t run, and don’t tell any of your friends. I’m coming to find you now.”
Ji Ming: “…”
Gu Jinmian informed his second brother and then drove to find Ji Ming.
After an hour’s journey, Gu Jinmian arrived at the foot of the mountain and discovered that it was an outdoor airsoft expansion base.
When Gu Jinyin tried to enter, he was stopped by someone. “Sorry, the place has been reserved today. No one else is allowed to enter.”
Gu Jinyin turned his head and saw Ji Ming squatting in a corner, smoking with a troubled expression. “Ji Ming, let me in quickly!”
Ji Ming hurriedly extinguished his cigarette and came over, chuckling. “My little master, this isn’t suitable for you to play.”
Gu Jinmian sneered and said to the person blocking him, “Get me a set of equipment.”
Seeing that Ji Ming knew him, the person assessed Gu Jinmian’s figure and quickly bent down to prepare the equipment for him.
Ignoring Ji Ming’s protests, Gu Jinyin changed into camouflage and protective gear, picking up a replica laser gun. “Take me to play.”
Ji Ming: “…”
Gu Jinmian was well aware that airsoft wasn’t as simple as it seemed. When he came to the mountain, he wasn’t surprised when a skirmish broke out on-site.
Wearing their black sensor helmets with glass face shields and black masks covering their faces, Ji Ming couldn’t discern Gu Jinmian’s expression. He said, “Well, it’s quite dangerous, can’t afford it, not fun at all. Let’s leave quickly.”
“Who can’t afford it?” Gu Jinmian lifted the laser gun with a handsome and poised posture. “Shall we join when they finish and regroup? I can’t wait any longer.”
Ji Ming: “…”
He acknowledged.
“This round is a team-based airsoft battle royale. Ever played it before?”
Gu Jinmian nodded.
A broadcast echoed through the woods, “Attention, two new members, S12 and N07, have joined from the southeast.”
Gu Jinmian looked at Ji Ming in surprise. Was this fair?
Ji Ming: “Just try to survive by any means necessary.”
Others on the field had already been playing for a while. The moment two new, energetic members joined, they immediately became targets. Ji Ming spoke and ran, but after a few steps, he was tackled to the ground.
Gu Jinmian: “…”
So, what was the point of having laser guns if they were just going to brawl like this?
Ji Ming rarely lost in a fight. He quickly seized an opportunity to knock down the opponent, using the laser gun to tag him a few times, declaring him “dead.”
Gu Jinmian understood.
He didn’t rashly enter the field, choosing a spot on the outskirts to observe the situation through the telescope.
When he saw a tall figure among them, he froze for a moment.
