Chapter 44

Lin Zixi originally wanted to flee to faraway places. It did not matter if the two of them would never meet again for the rest of their lives, and he did not even think that he would really give that jade ring away.

When he saw Gu Zecheng open the door and enter the room, he was completely stunned. With a blank face, he watched Gu Zecheng approach, pull out a chair across from the table, and sit down.

Gu Zecheng smiled mysteriously seeing Lin Zixi's thunderstruck appearance and asked, "Did your filming on Zhan Yun crew go smoothly? Have you learned something from Dao Zhongping?"

His demeanor and tone of voice were unexpectedly very gentle, as gentle as if Lin Zixi had not deserted him and run away but just left after reluctantly saying goodbye to him.

With Gu Zecheng's ability, Lin Zixi was actually not surprised at all that the other party knew where he went. However, his dad's current attitude made him a little uncertain, so he could only nod cautiously, "It went very smoothly. I’ve learned and benefited a lot from Director Dao and other people in the crew."

"That's good." Gu Zecheng nodded, "After you joined the group, I talked to the investors of Zhan Yun on the phone, and I knew that you left early and returned late every day on the set. I thought it’s also a rare opportunity for you to improve yourself, and that’s why I didn't come to the movie set to disturb you this month."

As Gu Zecheng talked, he reached out and grasped Lin Zixi's hand, which was clenched because of his nervousness. Then he asked in an even gentler tone, "You won’t be angry with me because of this, will you?"

Lin Zixi could not be angry with his dad no matter who he was angry with now.

He lowered his head and shook it a little nervously, "No."

"If it's not because of this..." Gu Zecheng sighed and held Lin Zixi's hand even tighter, while the gentle expression on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, revealing a chilly aura that belonged to the superior, "Then can you tell me why your attitude towards me suddenly changed? Not only did you leave without saying goodbye, you also didn’t answer my phone call nor reply to my messages. And you don’t even dare to glance at me today."

"No… I don’t..." Lin Zixi quickly raised his head and glanced at Dad Gu. But then he immediately turned his eyes away, took a deep breath, and stood up abruptly, "Everyone is a person with identity. We got together by mutual consent, so we should break up peacefully. Don't be excessive and forget your manners. If you misused the public resources and let the customs detain me just to say this, we don't need to talk any more. Can I go now?"

Lin Zixi wanted to pull free the hand that was held by Gu Zecheng, but his other hand was grabbed and dragged by the other party until his whole person was thrown across half the table.

Gu Zecheng stood up, pinched Lin Zixi's chin with his other hand, and, staring condescendingly into his eyes, said contemptuously, "Since you don't want to talk about feelings, let's talk about your badger game. You stole my 1.6 million Cayenne, and you even ran a red light twice and exceeded the speed seven times while driving it…. According to the current law of our country, it’s considered to be a particularly huge amount of theft, and there’re other circumstances as well. The sentence starts from three years, you know?"

What the hell was ‘starts from three years’?!

Lin-Badger Game-Zixi was about to be stupefied by his dad's magical operation.

He took another deep breath and decided to use a delaying tactic, "I'm very tired after a hectic day and flying back, and I still have a magazine photoshoot tomorrow morning. It’d be better for us to make another appointment at a suitable location tomorrow night..."

Before Lin Zixi could finish speaking, Gu Zecheng interrupted him with a sneer, "I can arrest you here today. Do you think you can get out tomorrow?"

…... You had power and status, so you could do whatever you want?! Lin Zixi, looking at his dad, inwardly complained while panicking that his plan had been exposed.

However, Gu Zecheng let go of him at this moment, walked to the door of the room, and extended a hand in his direction, "But it's indeed not suitable for us to continue talking here. You come with me."

Seeing Lin Zixi dawdling and unwilling to move, he added, "I think it’s said that there’re always entertainment reporters and fans lying in wait for stars at B city’s airport? I actually don't mind carrying you, but I'm afraid you’ll be mortified when it's on the news."

So Lin Zixi immediately followed behind Gu Zecheng obediently and was led away by the hand.

After the two of them walked from the VIP passage all the way to the VIP parking area, Lin Zixi finally realized that he basically would never encounter reporters and illegitimate fans if he took the special passage. He had been fooled by his dad's serious face.

But since it had reached this stage, it was too late for him to run, and he could only be pushed by Gu Zecheng into a car with a white license plate.

After Lin Zixi settled into the back seat, he found that there was already someone in the driver's seat, and the driver waiting to drive was Qiao Weidong, whom he had met before.

It was only then did Lin Zixi realize that B City was his dad's base camp, and this ‘Brother Qiao’ was one of the people with real power in B City’s public security system. His return this time was probably no different from him taking the initiative to surrender to Gu Zecheng.

"Are you willing to go back to China now after you’ve had enough of playing outside?" Qiao Weidong gave Lin Zixi a quick sweep from the rearview mirror with his usual sharp gaze, "When something bad happened, you didn't think about how to solve it and just wanted to run away…. Are children nowadays like this? My Xiaoxiao ran away to her grandparents as soon as she failed her exams and was reported by her teacher for causing trouble at school. Her mom and I didn't admonish her very much."

The later sentences Qiao Weidong spoke were for Gu Zecheng, who was sitting in the passenger's seat. Dad Gu thought about it and said, "The university students recruited by our company don't seem to be like this. It depends on the person, I think."

“Young people who can enter your company these years are ‘other people’s children’. Can it be the same?" Qiao Weidong laughed helplessly. As he drove the car out of the airport, he confirmed with Gu Zecheng, "You're not staying in Yuanting this time?"

Gu Zecheng inclined his head in agreement, "Hantang Jiayun has just opened after all. It just so happened that I’m here, so I can do a spot check on it. I’ve only let Xu Chengfeng inform them to make preparations this morning." 

Qiao Weidong nodded. He was a native of B City and naturally didn’t need GPS navigation. Except for the time spent in traffic jams, he drove the car smoothly all the way until they arrived at their destination.

Gu Zecheng chatted with Qiao Weidong for the whole journey and ignored Lin Zixi, who was pretending not to exist, in the back seat. When the car was parked, Dad Gu still didn't talk to him and just got out of the car, opened the door on his side, and made a ‘come down’ gesture.

Lin Zixi had a psychological shadow on his dad's hotel, plus he was really unwilling and also didn't dare to talk to Gu Zecheng any more, so he naturally didn't want to get out of the car.

As a result, Gu Zecheng smiled insincerely at him, and as soon as he held out a hand, Gu Zecheng pulled him out of the car, carried him like a sack of potatoes, and walked to the VIP elevator.

Lin Zixi’s upper body hung upside down facing Gu Zecheng's back. He wanted to struggle, but his dad's strong hands held him tightly. If he made a fuss, the other party would spank him on the buttocks as if reprimanding him.

After being spanked twice by Gu Zecheng, Lin Zixi was completely obedient and did not dare to make trouble.

Until he was carried by his dad into the bedroom of the presidential suite and placed on the bed, his face was still very red.

Gu Zecheng patted Lin Zixi's hot face, "Stay here obediently. I'll deal with you after I chat with your Brother Qiao."

After speaking, he left the bedroom and went to the living room area of ​​the suite.

He selected a bottle of red wine from the liquor cabinet and opened it while saying to Qiao Weidong, who was sitting on the sofa, "2005 Lafite isn’t as good as 1982 and 2000, but it’s also not bad. Let's have a few glasses. I’ll ask someone to send you home later..."

He was halfway through speaking and discovered that the expression of his always steady and calm old friend was actually very strange when looking at him. So he had to ask, "What's wrong?"

"You and him..." Qiao Weidong hesitantly pointed to the closed bedroom door.

"It's just what you think." Facing his old friend of many years, Gu Zecheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "I also didn't expect that I can actually still have this chance when I'm almost forty."

"You actually don't know?!" Qiao Weidong's face became even more abnormal. He abruptly stood up and paced the living room a little fretfully, "I thought you... ugh..."

Seeing that his close friend only spoke halfway and refused to continue, Gu Zecheng's face changed into a serious expression, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Even if I don't know now, I’ll know sooner or later."

Qiao Weidong, hearing him say so, stopped pacing, gritted his teeth, and finally came out with the words, "Did you know that when Lin Zixi's mother, Lin Jing, was a university student in B City twenty years ago… she’s called Lin Zhenzhen?!"

Chapter 43

The flight ticket back to China was for the next day. After Lin Zixi took a shower to wash off the cigarette smell from his body, he changed his clothes, put on a cap and sunglasses, and decided to go out for a walk and enjoy the local scenery.

Country L was adjacent to China. Their national land area was not large, but their situation was a bit complicated.

After all, this country’s special local product or their mainstay industry, so to speak, was narcotics in addition to nephrite.

Lin Zixi was still a bit distraught and was unwilling to bring his always-talkative, nagging assistant along, thinking that it was more prudent to stroll this city by himself.

He only went to the two most recommended tourist attractions on the travel guide and planned to return to the hotel, but he was recommended by the taxi driver, whose English was as bad as his, to the city's largest nephrite and jewels trading market.

Not to mention others, he had to buy some souvenirs for Sister Chen, Xiao Zhang, and President Xu at least….

With this mentality, Lin Zixi strolled around the trading market and bought a jade pendant costing around 100,000 for each of the three of them. Then he bought a ring for Gu Zecheng for 1.35 million.

In fact, Lin Zixi did not understand jade at all and had no good eye for jewels. He just saw an impressive and luxurious ‘town shop treasure’ that suited his dad very much, and then, driven by some mysterious force, he opened his mouth to ask the price, bargained, and paid money.

After swiping his card, he stuffed the certificate of the ring into his bag and put the ring box in the inner pocket of his coat. Suddenly remembering that stud earring, which his dad spent two million to win, gifted to him, and then took back, he could not help but lament that apart from the fact that love would lower one's IQ, it turned out that being prodigal, like Mercury retrograde, could also be hereditary.

Lin Zixi had put all his attention on buying the jade ring. Only when he was about to leave the trading market did he realize that a group of people had gathered around him at some point.

There were males and females, a total of eight people, all staring at him.

Lin Zixi was alarmed. He realized that he had revealed his wealth inadvertently and feared that he was about to invite disaster.

Given the level of chaos in country L, the trading market was probably very dangerous. Someone having evil thoughts at the sight of riches and wanting to rob him was a trivial matter. What if they kidnapped him and demanded ransom from his family?

Dangerous or not, Lin Zi felt like he was about to suffocate just imagining that moment when articles such as "A popular young actor suffered misfortune overseas, and the main culprit turned out to be..." and so on would flood Weibo and Moments to the extent that even Gu Zecheng would be able to see it.

He did his best to pretend to be calm and walked straight ahead in the direction of the two thinnest and weakest looking young girls in the group. With both hands in the pockets of his coat and his head held high, he passed between the two of them expressionlessly.

Fortunately, he actually wasn’t blocked by the other party.

Lin Zixi breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He continued to pretend that he had not noticed anything and walked towards the escalator calmly.

He was afraid of alerting the other party, so he did not dare to look back to see if the people behind him were following him. But at least he went all the way from the third floor to the first floor smoothly, and no one came to stop him.

The change occurred when he walked to the hall on the first floor.

The pair of young girls who had been silently following him suddenly shouted something in the local language. In an instant, almost everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at Lin Zixi.

Lin Zixi did not even think about it and immediately ran out of the building.

And behind him, more than 20 people had gathered and were chasing after him. On top of that, people constantly joined the chasing team, and several among them kept shouting some words repeatedly.

Seeing this situation, Lin Zixi almost believed that he had robbed someone’s town shop treasure instead of buying it.

He decided to risk life and limb and dashed out of the nephrite and jewels trading market with all his strength. When he reached the street, he looked around blankly. Seeing the people chasing him getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth and was going to choose a random direction in this unfamiliar city to continue escaping.

At this moment, the back door of a black Alphard parked on the roadside suddenly opened. A burly man with tattoos all over his neck came out of the car, grabbed Lin Zixi, who was standing nearby, and pushed him into the car.

When the car started to drive after the back door was closed from the outside and then locked, Lin Zixi's heart froze.

While calculating whether he should give the kidnappers Chen Yunyun's phone number or his dad's to demand a ransom, he raised his eyes to size up the people who kidnapped him.

Contrary to what he had expected, only a smiling man, who was around thirty-year-old and dressed in a suit, sat in this spacious rear compartment with only one row of seats left after being refitted.

The man motioned him to sit on the seat next to him, and when he started talking, it was actually in standard Chinese, "Going out without a bodyguard and without disguising yourself…. You’re really courageous enough and not afraid of danger." 

This man’s words were a bit casual and amiable, but Lin Zixi was sure that they did not know each other—although there was something among this man’s appearance that made him feel familiar with, this handsome face was completely unfamiliar to him. 

Lin Zixi did not correct the other party by saying that he was wearing sunglasses and a cap but hesitantly asked instead, "Do you know me?"

The man smiled even happier, "Love in Midsummer that you starred in was a hit when it was aired on Channel 7 half a year ago. And now the theme song you sang can sometimes be heard on the street…. Is it strange that I recognize you as a popular star?"

Hearing the man's words, Lin Zixi finally remembered that Chen Yunyun seemed to have mentioned that the copyright of this idol drama was sold to country L. But he did not take it seriously because, firstly, the distribution of this drama had nothing to do with their company, and secondly, Stars Entertainment had no plan to open up the market in country L.

Putting it that way…. 

Lin Zixi, in disbelief, confirmed the conclusion he had just deduced with the man beside him, "How do you say my name in L Mandarin?"

The other party immediately said that one word frequently repeated by people who had chased him just now.

So, this was actually a sad story of foreign fans being too enthusiastic and scaring the hell out of a drama queen idol?

Except for breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Zixi did not know what he should say.

However, the intention of the man who brought him out of his fan mob was unclear, and Lin Zixi instinctively sensed a hint of blood and danger from the other party's seemingly gentle appearance, so he did not dare to completely relax.

After expressing his thanks politely, he said that the other party could drop him anywhere, and he would just take a taxi back to the hotel.

The man still smiled very amiably and replied in a teasing tone, "And then let you be chased again by our L country fans until you have to beat a hasty retreat?"

After he finished speaking, he paused and added, "Besides, we’ve arrived at our destination." 

Lin Zixi looked out of the car window pasted with one-way window film and was stunned to find that the car was parked outside the hotel where he was staying.

But he had not told the man beside him where he lived.

A big brawny man got down from the front passenger seat, opened the car door for him, and made a ‘please’ gesture.

Lin Zixi got out of the car suspiciously. Before the brawny man closed the car door, the man in the back seat, who was now making Lin Zixi's inner alarm sound frantically, said goodbye to him cheerfully, "Lin Zixi, I wish you a pleasant journey tomorrow. Until we meet again next time." 

To tell the truth, it would be better if the man did not express his good wishes.

This man’s good wishes made Lin Zixi not want to come to country L again in this life—the water was too deep, and he would drown if he was not careful.

Fortunately, nothing alarming happened until Lin Zixi and his assistant Xiao Zhang took the flight back to China the next day and landed in B City.

Lin Zixi finally breathed a sigh of relief as he walked across the covered bridge. He raised the scarf covering half of his face up again before pushing his carry-on suitcase and going through the immigration with Xiao Zhang.

However, young actor Lin, who was walking through the VIP channel, was stuck at customs.

After the customs staff member compared the photo on his passport with his real face, he did not let him pass but instead whispered a few words through a walkie-talkie.

Two customs officers soon came over. After saluting Lin Zixi, one said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, please cooperate with our work and accept individual inspections and inquiries."

Lin Zixi was confused at first but suddenly remembered. He had been a little preoccupied because of his return to China, and he seemed to have forgotten to declare the few jade articles he bought to customs. Maybe it was because of this that the customs had been alerted.

He asked Assistant Zhang to go out first, while he himself was taken into a small room at the back.

He did not know if it was because he was a star, but the officers' attitude was unexpectedly very polite, and they prepared a bottle of mineral water for him before leaving.

Lin Zixi sat alone in the small gloomy room for nearly ten minutes before the door of this room was finally opened.

And the person who came in to ‘inspect and inquire’ him was none other than Gu Zecheng, the gold master daddy who was really provoked by his action of running away while he fell asleep.

Chapter 42

If you talk about domestic commercial film directors, even if Director Dao Zhongping was not in the top three, there were always the top five.

In addition, Zhan Yun was a war movie with a large investment. If the originally chosen actor had not been injured just before entering the group and could not join the cast, even if Chen Yunyun had the connections, it would have been very difficult for a so-called ‘currently popular young actor’ like Lin Zixi to get the role of the third male in this movie—the director himself was the box office guarantee, so it was unnecessary to rely on traffic stars to exploit fans.

Therefore, Lin Zixi gave his all from the moment he flew to the filming location and entered the group with his assistant Xiao Zhang. During his time in the crew, he listened and obeyed Director Dao’s guidance wholeheartedly, and he performed every scene without any complaint until the director was completely satisfied, no matter how many times he had to repeat it. He also observed and emulated the filming of other actors, trying hard to pick up some acting skills and knowledge from these big names of the strength faction.

It had been six years since young actor Lin was admitted to the film academy, stepped into the entertainment circle with one foot, and began to rise. But this was the first time he experienced the charm of his profession as an actor and felt happiness from acting and seeing the soul that belonged to his character materialize from his own portrayal.

Lin Zixi gradually changed, from relying solely on Director Dao’s guidance to act when he first entered the crew to slowly gaining his own understanding of the script and the characters. Until finally, he was already able to add detailed performances by himself to enrich the image of the character.

Although, his amazing action of gunspinning and changing clips were copied from his dad.

Lin Zixi lived a rich and busy life for more than a month. Every day, he returned very late at night to the hotel where the cast and crew were staying. After taking a quick shower, he would lie on the bed exhausted and fall asleep right away. The next day, he got up early in the morning and went to the set.

Not only did he shed all the flesh he had grown during his two months of recuperation, but he was also five catties less than his previous weight. Even his skin, which was exaggerated by his fans as ‘snow lotus on the iceberg’, was actually tanned a shade darker by the winter sun.

But his great efforts paid off.

When Lin Zixi's role was finished and he was about to leave the Zhan Yun cast and crew, not only was Director Dao full of admiration and favor for him, even the movie emperor/empress-level actors and actresses starring in this movie also showed their hopes to work with him again.

After all, it was a junior who was good-looking, good-natured, not finicky, willing to work hard, and really making progress, as well as bringing his own traffic, topics, and fans. If it were you, you would like him too.

At this time, there was still a week before Lin Zixi's next TV series started filming. During this week, Chen Yunyun also gave him a job of doing an exclusive interview and a photo shoot of the cover and inside pages with a fashion magazine.

This job was to be carried out in B City in three days, but Lin Zixi did not want to return to his home country for a while.

He had been staying with the crew when he went abroad this time and had not even taken a glance at the scenery of this neighboring country’s city. More importantly, when he got away from the busy mode of filming and learning, he had to face the problems he had been deliberately ignoring before.

Lin Zixi knew that it was very shameful of him to escape, and he also understood thoroughly that the matter between him and his dad had to be resolved sooner or later.

But once he thought of the undercurrent and raging waves between him and Gu Zecheng, Lin Zixi could not help feeling that he should have just accepted the plane ticket to country A, being exiled to a foreign land and never coming back for the rest of his life, when Gu Zecheng first asked him to choose.

It was not only because of what had happened to him and Gu Zecheng on that confusing night, but also because in the two days before he joined the movie crew, he figured out something more unacceptable than having a relationship with his own dad.

Apparently, he liked Gu Zecheng.

At first, it was indeed a child’s affection for his father.

But now, his liking had long metamorphosed into the kind of liking towards a lover.

Maybe it happened when he was rescued by Gu Zecheng while he was injured and waiting to die, or when Gu Zecheng came to visit him every day while he was recuperating in hospital, or when he and Gu Zecheng lived together day and night. Or maybe it was just a certain moment when Gu Zecheng lit a cigarette, smiled, and flicked his forehead lightly….

In the bottom of Lin Zixi's lonely and lifeless heart, a bud that the world could not tolerate sprouted, and a flower that no one would appreciate bloomed.

That was why he turned a blind eye to Gu Zecheng's intimacy, which  overstepped the bounds further with each passing day, and invented some reason of ‘father-son love’ to deceive himself for the turbulent undercurrent between the two of them.

But which son with true father-son love would lust after his father, and which father with true father-son love would flirt with his son?!

When this layer of familial love was torn off, all Lin Zixi could see was the filthy father and son incest.

No, it was only him who was filthy.

Gu Zecheng, who did not know that he had a son from start to finish, was innocent.

If he had been honest with Gu Zecheng at any moment beforehand, they would not have come this far.

Gu Zecheng was totally pulled into the abyss by him.

Lin Zixi could not be sure and did not even dare to think whether his father, who was able to create him with his mother, was turned gay by him.

With every extra thought on this matter, a layer of sin was added to him.

After Lin Zixi left the crew, he went to a nearby city in L country. Instead of going around sightseeing, he locked himself in a hotel room, took a long bath, and smoked on the balcony for one night.

In the early morning, Lin Zixi sat in front of an ashtray full of cigarette butts watching the sunrise and finally made up his mind.

He used his laptop to buy plane tickets for himself and Assistant Zhang to B City tomorrow. At the same time, he also bought another ticket that departed from B City the next night, and the destination was the capital of Country Y.

"If I announce my retirement from the entertainment circle during the agreed magazine interview, the company and Sister Chen would be mad, right?" Lin Zixi ground his last cigarette into the ashtray to extinguish it and got up from the rattan chair where he sat all night. He stretched his waist and said to himself, "But I can't control that much anymore."

He could neither resort to telling the truth, nor find any other excuse to reject Gu Zecheng, let alone ignore his guilt, close his eyes, and be together with him.

Then all he could do was stay away from the whirlpool, avoiding it to the end during his time on earth.

Chapter 41

Had you seen N City at 4:00 in the morning?

Whether you had seen it or not, Lin Zixi had seen it anyway.

When he came back to his senses from the shock and confusion of ‘he was really having an affair with his own father’, he was already on his way back to S City alone after running out of the hotel in a trance while Gu Zecheng was asleep.

And he was driving his dad's Cayenne.

In the early hours of the morning, the NS Expressway was not too congested, and Lin Zixi repeatedly sped in panic. So at 6:05, Chen Yunyun, who had gone to sleep late because of chatting with her old friend, was woken up by the doorbell.

"You... what happened to you?" Chen Yunyun was woken up shortly after she fell asleep. She was initially annoyed at having to get up, but when she opened the door and saw the distraught appearance of her most promising and profitable artist, she was so frightened that she was clear-headed all of a sudden.

Lin Zixi silently entered her house, went straight to the sofa in her living room, and collapsed on it.

Chen Yunyun almost went crazy seeing him like this and shot out a succession of questions like a machine gun, "Did you do a hit-and-run while drunk driving or get exposed for taking drugs at a party or fuck a fan and was videotaped by the other party? Or did your ex-girlfriend, whom you played with and then abandoned, come to the door with your illegitimate child?"

Lin Zixi was surprisingly and strangely comforted by her questioning. For a split second, he actually had an absurd notion of ‘his secret affair with his own dad was not too bad’.

His originally panicked heart gradually stabilized, and he waved his hand to assure Chen Yunyun, saying, "Not at all…. I'm just freaking out. Maybe... there’ll be no news."

Agent Chen stared at him in the eyes for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief before saying in a confident tone, "There’s a problem between you and Gu Zecheng."

Lin Zixi did not speak for a while, and Chen Yunyun took it as his acquiescence. She sighed and said persuasively, "He wants to break up with you? Oh dear... I’ve told you before, the entertainment circle is much cleaner now. If you work hard and don't think of doing things dishonestly, you also have the opportunity to get the top seat. Why bother to make it like this?"

He and Gu Zecheng clearly only had a one-night stand and were not dating, so how did they break up…. What’s more, it was he himself who ran off after having sex with his biological father. It was fucking good if he was simply dumped by his gold master!

Seeing Lin Zixi's expression, Chen Yunyun suddenly felt enlightened and guessed, "Could it be that Gu Zecheng not only dumped you but is also going to block you?!" 

How could Lin Zixi tell her the truth? So, in order not to let her make a wild guess in an even more melodramatic and outrageous direction, he could only answer vaguely, "It's... something like that, I guess."

Besides, if his dad knew that the ‘son’ whom he had fucked all night was really his own son, Lin Zixi did not know what Gu Zecheng would do.

Chen Yunyun could not help but utter a string of swear words and scolded ‘scumbag’. After that, she pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the living room cabinet and went to smoke on the balcony.

Lin Zixi sat alone in the living room in a daze until he was roused by the sound of his specially set up mobile phone’s ringtone.

He saw the word ‘Gu’ on the screen of his mobile phone, rejected the call, and turned off the phone, completing the actions very naturally and smoothly in just one second.     

If he was just bedded by his dad when he was unconscious, he could say that it was fine. But when he later believed that it was a wet dream, he actually took the initiative to tease and cooperate with the other party and even turned into a mess from pleasure….

Lin Zixi inwardly spat on and cursed himself ‘evil creature’, and now he had neither the face nor the courage to face Gu Zecheng.

Lin Zixi slumped on the sofa in a distraught state for a long time, not expecting a way out in the future. But then Chen Yunyun came back from the balcony with her mobile phone in her hand.

"Director Dao Zhongping is now shooting a war movie. Have you heard of it?" Chen Yunyun said, "The original cast of the third male in his movie was supposed to join the group the day after tomorrow. But then he had a little accident last night and was injured, so he quitted. I still have a little friendship with Director Dao and initially recommended Zhang Wenhao to him to fill the vacancy…. Zhang Wenhao can be regarded as the second brother of our Stars Entertainment, and his outward appearance is more suitable than yours."

Chen Yunyun stopped speaking.

Lin Zixi heard the meaning of his agent's words and immediately sat up straight and listened carefully to what she said.

Chen Yunyun continued, "Now that you have this problem, I’ll recommend you to Director Dao instead. The filming location of this movie is currently abroad, and the third male’s scenes will take about a month to shoot. So you can lie low until the fuss dies down while not delaying entering the next crew. Moreover, this third male is a sniper, and his character is good enough to attract fans. If Gu Zecheng is really going to stretch his hand into the entertainment circle to suppress you, you may be able to make a comeback when the movie is released."

Chen Yunyun sighed and added, "That's all I can plan for you. Next, I'll ask someone to buy you a plane ticket and speed up the visa application. After that, it depends on your own good fortune and great efforts…. You perform well for me! If Director Dao is strict and demanding with you, you just cooperate with him. If there’s any firearm training, you must also be hardworking and endure the hardships. Don't complain!"

How could Lin Zixi complain if he could run 180,000 miles away from Dad Gu? He was now so excited that he wanted to hug Chen Yunyun and recognize her as his older sister.

He immediately guaranteed, "No problem! I’ll definitely and completely obey the director's guidance and arrangements, act well, and not play a big name."

After saying this, he added, "Also, I can use CS/LR4, which is suitable for acting as a sniper."

"CS what?" Chen Yunyun was baffled.

"CS/LR4, the best domestic sniper rifle. I’ve just trained." Lin Zixi said.

TL’s note:

十万八千里 (shí wàn bā qiān lǐ) = one hundred and eight thousand miles. Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, can travel one hundred and eight thousand miles with one somersault. Now the idiom is often used to describe a very far distance or a huge gap/difference.

耍大牌 (shuǎ dà pái) = to play a big name, means that the stars are arrogant and look down on others.

Chapter 40 (NSFW)

Although Gu Zecheng already did ample foreplay to prepare Lin Zixi, the huge blade between his legs was far more majestic and fierce than his fingers after all, and it was also the first time Lin Zixi bore such corporal punishment. After the entrance of his hole was rammed open, a thick and long penis was inserted into his tight and narrow secret passage, and he could not help but start to struggle uncomfortably.

"Daddy, don't... it hurts." Lin Zixi muttered to Gu Zecheng full of grievances, temporarily unable to understand why the man in front of him would hurt him. He pushed the other party's chest with both hands desperately, trying to make him get up.

Gu Zecheng easily restrained Lin Zixi's hands at the top of his head with one hand, while the other hand gently stroked his head. Then he imprinted a kiss on Lin Zixi's forehead in a soothing manner, coaxing and tempting him in the tenderest tone, "Be good, Baby…. Relax and bear with it. The pain will be gone soon."

Saying so, he reached out to stroke Lin Zixi's member again, back and forth several times until the white jade-like object was rubbed back to life.

Lin Zixi was totally played with and coaxed by Gu Zecheng that his whole body could not help softening again. He closed his eyes and began to hum softly, enjoying his dad's service.

Gu Zecheng saw that Lin Zixi was gradually getting used to the existence of the object in his body, so he slowly pushed his shaft into the young man’s back hole while observing his reaction. Whenever Lin Zixi showed discomfort, Gu Zecheng immediately stopped to pacify him more meticulously and tenderly.

When Lin Zixi gradually recovered from his drunkenness and regained some of his consciousness after this very long period of alternating pain and pleasure, Gu Zecheng finally managed to insert his entire penis into his body.

Although Lin Zixi was still a little dizzy, his brain could almost operate normally more or less.

So, the first question he urgently needed to consider now was:

Why did his dad seem to be fucking him???

This question caused his brain, which had just booted up, to crash for a full three minutes until the meat blade that began to slide in and out his back hole made him scream involuntarily. Only then did Lin Zixi figure out a most reasonable answer—he was probably having a wet dream.

Otherwise, how could his dad, Gu-second generation soldier-special forces elite-business tycoon-Zecheng, such an immortal character, suddenly go into heat and come to him, a traffic star who did not have one good point except for looking good and having fans?!

Lin Zixi could not help but begin to reflect upon himself whether he was a bit too dirty to actually have such a wet dream.

No matter how handsome his dad looked, how great his figure was, how tender he became when he started doting someone, how glorious his past experience was, how attractive he was when he smoked, shot a gun, raised his eyebrows and smiled... he should not damn well fantasize turning his straight dad gay! And the two of them doing this was incest, ah!

But before Lin Zixi could finish his reflection, the huge object inside his back hole made a forceful thrust, and he had no time to ponder about anything.

The initial discomfort of being penetrated by a man's sex organ had gradually changed into an indescribable pleasure as the secret hole on the back was constantly being invaded and played with.

The thick and long penis dilated his back hole to the extreme, and between its in-and-out movement, it relentlessly scraped and ground every nook and cranny of the soft flesh inside his sensitive tunnel and fucked into the deepest part of his body countless times.

This was obviously a sexual affair that had crossed the line, but Lin Zixi's lust rose uncontrollably.

The more filthy and shameful it was, the more lustful you were.

After his waist was grasped and Gu Zecheng’s penis once again entered his body to the hilt, Lin Zixi finally chose to let go of all the worldly regulations and restrictions and just enjoy this fantasy along with his desire.

Anyway, heaven knew, earth knew, and he himself knew.

Maybe when he woke up from the dream tomorrow morning, even he himself would forget this sinful yet wonderful dreamland.

With such thoughts in mind, when Gu Zecheng lowered his head to kiss him again, Lin Zixi also tried his best to accept and respond to the kiss.

When their lips and tongues parted, he even bit Gu Zecheng's lower lip lightly.

"You hurt me just now." He was both complaining and acting like a spoiled child.

"I'm sorry..." Gu Zecheng realized that the person under him seemed to be sober. He stopped his rhythmic thrusting and carefully observed the expression on Lin Zixi's face, not letting go of even the tiniest change, until he confirmed that the other party did not feel wronged or unhappy at all. Only then did he feel relieved and continued to explain, "I... had no experience in this area."

Lin Zixi tried hard to prop up his upper body and gave his dad a loud kiss on the face, "Then I forgive you."

"Thank you for forgiving me." Gu Zecheng suddenly smiled, "Do you still hurt now?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore..." It felt great. Lin Zixi's face turned a little red. Even in a dream, he was still too embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence.

But he lifted up his legs, hooked the vigorous waist of the man in front of him, and issued a silent invitation with his eyes and actions.

Gu Zecheng did not say a word, but in the next moment, he used his sex organ to deeply fill Lin Zixi’s body again. The fiery meat blade was so forceful that it felt like it was going to smash and stab the soft and tender secret hole, and the sound of flesh striking each other could be heard throughout the room.

Lin Zixi poured fuel into the fire and was pressed and fucked ruthlessly by Gu Zecheng for hundreds of times. In the end, he could not stand it anymore, legs sliding down from his dad's waist and begging for mercy, "Slow down, slow down…. You're going to break me."

But since things had reached this stage, how could Gu Zecheng let him off now? Not only did he not slow down, but he also began to fuck even more intensely. Lin Zixi's body was pushed further up, but before he could rejoice in being far away from the terrifying object, he was grabbed by the waist and pulled back, and his back hole was invaded even deeper.

Lin Zixi was penetrated by his daddy's cock incessantly until he tightened his body again and shot white turbid liquid from the top of his untouched member.

His secret hole spasmed and tightened up because of his orgasm, but the hard meat buried deep in it did not let him take a breather at all and thrust in and out even faster and more violently instead.

"No... um..." As soon as Lin Zixi opened his mouth, Gu Zecheng bowed his head and kissed him, silencing all his refusals.

Gu Zecheng kissed the man under him tenderly while fucking him fiercely. After dozens of thrusts, he finally ejaculated in Lin Zixi's wet, soft, and tight back hole.

"Hmm..." Lin Zixi could not help but let out a low whimper as the scorching hot turbid liquid poured onto his sensitive wall of flesh.

He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, though.

In any case, this disgraceful wet dream was finally coming to an end.

However, Gu Zecheng only took a short rest before taking Lin Zixi into his arms while still impaling him and whispering in his ear with a smile, "I seem to have said that I’m going to make you cry and call Daddy..."

…. 

…….. 

The promised corporal punishment, how could it be this way of crying?!

Lin Zixi was shocked and soon pulled back into the abyss of desire by the man beside him.

This sexual intercourse did not stop until dawn, and Lin Zixi practically felt that his tears and semen were about to be sucked dry.

What was worse, after he was carried into the bathroom, bathed again, and carried back to bed to sleep by Gu Zecheng, he gradually realized a terrible and inconceivable fact.

This extremely promiscuous and supremely wonderful ‘wet dream’  seemed to be not a wet dream at all.

Thus, when Gu Zecheng woke up a few hours later, he found that a certain person whom he had just made love to was gone.

Chapter 39 (NSFW)

Lin Zixi was originally drunk, and his mind was hazy; then he was pressed and kissed for almost ten minutes. So when he was let go, he was completely confused.

He watched in bewilderment as Gu Zecheng took off his robe, threw it on the ground randomly, and pressed his naked body on top of him.

He vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he quickly threw this intuition to the back of his mind and extended his hand instead, curiously kneading and pinching the strong and broad chest in front of him several times.

"It's so hard." After Lin Zixi finished pinching it, he raised his head and said to Gu Zecheng with a happy smile.

Gu Zecheng took Lin Zixi’s hand and kissed it lightly. Then he lowered his head and said in a seductive tone to his ear, "I still have an even harder spot on my body. Do you want to touch it?"

"Okay…. Where?" Lin Zixi asked.

Gu Zecheng pulled Lin Zixi’s hand to a spot below his abdomen that was already standing tall and firm as iron.

Lin Zixi touched the thick and long huge object back and forth a few times and felt that the object in his hand became more majestic and ferocious. He shouted like a child who wanted to share a toy with his partner, "I can also be hard here. Although it's not as big as you!"

Dad Gu was delighted by his naive praise and couldn't help laughing. Then he bowed his head and kissed his lips again, "Then let's make you hard there, too?"

Lin Zixi thought about it and felt that since he could not exercise his pectoral muscles to become like his dad's, it was fine to be as stiff him below—after all, the figure of the man before his eyes was really perfect and attractive, so it was always good to be more like the other party.

"No problem." He nodded.

Gu Zecheng's right hand was like a snake that roamed nimbly. It slowly slid down from Lin Zixi's neck, stroked his collarbone, nipples, and abdomen one by one... and finally wrapped around his member that was still soft and dormant, holding it neither loosely or tightly and rubbing it lightly.

"Hmm..." Lin Zixi’s most sensitive part of the body was touched, and he could not help but stretch out his arms to embrace the neck of the man on top of him, squinting and gasping softly in pleasure.

Gu Zecheng conveniently lowered his head to kiss Lin Zixi again, and while their lips and tongues combined, his right hand also exerted a little force, rapidly stroking and stimulating the soft flesh in his hand.

In just a short while, Lin Zixi was dizzy by his kiss and hardened by his touch.

"Heh, little Zixi is also hard." Gu Zecheng made a pun teasingly and went back to bite Lin Zixi's delicate earlobe lightly and tongue the tiny hole that was devoid of any accessories.

Although Dad Gu had always disliked boys who wore earrings, thinking that only unscrupulous hooligans in society did it, he now had to admit that this big boy, who was panting under him, would certainly look good when wearing earrings.

What brand was that stud earring he bought at the auction last time? He should custom-make a better one for him…. Dad Gu thought while kissing all the way down that spotless white neck.

Gu Zecheng licked Lin Zixi's chest for a long time, sucking his nipples back and forth until they were as hard as pebbles before letting go of these two poor bits of flesh. But when he was about to leave, he suddenly bit his left breast lightly, gave it a tug, and released it again, letting the red pea bounce back on its own.

"Ugh..." Lin Zixi reflexively stuck his chest up and let out a startled gasp.

But subsequently, his member completely woke up, standing tall and mighty in Gu Zecheng's hands.

Gu Zecheng chuckled and continued to kiss Lin Zixi's fair and smooth skin downward. His soft tongue circled his belly button a few times before going down. He skipped the grassy plain and went straight to suck the tip of the cock that was as fair and clean as its owner. 

Lin Zixi had only had ‘intimate contact’ with his left and right hands in all his life—although he had heard rumors about ‘R20 Juice Extractor Artifact’ and been tempted by it, he had always been purely manual and self-sufficient in relieving his desires because he was worried that his shopping information would leak out and become his stumbling block one day—now that his member was being gently sucked and licked, his whole person could not stop trembling and letting out a sweet moan.

Before even a minute had passed, the small hole at the top of his cock began to overflow with clear glandular fluid.

"A virgin?" Gu Zecheng raised his head and glanced at his bewildered face. Even if he did not get a reply, he knew the answer, and he could not help feeling even more delighted.

Dad Gu initially felt a little guilty for having sex with Lin Zixi for the first time while he was drunk, so inevitably, he was more gentle and soft to him, using both hands, lips, and tongue at the same time to caress the cock and a pair of balls under Lin Zixi's abdomen.

As a result, it did not take long for Lin Zixi to tighten his body and reach a climax as he panted and moaned indiscriminately, and a gush of white turbid liquid shot out from the top of his member.

Gu Zecheng spat out the cock in his mouth a second before Lin Zixi ejaculated. Then he wrapped and covered the top of the cock with his bare hand and caught the gushing milky white liquid in his palm.

Gu Zecheng leaned forward and kissed Lin Zixi again. After that, he opened his legs to reveal the tightly closed secret hole hidden between two round white buttocks.

Gu Zecheng used his hand that was covered in white turbid liquid to press against Lin Zixi's back hole and, lubricated by the young man’s own semen, slowly pushed an index finger in.

"Uh..." Lin Zixi could not help frowning and issuing a low gasp the first time his body was invaded by a foreign object, but he was quickly pacified by a light kiss that fell between his brows.

Gu Zecheng slowly pushed his entire finger into the tight and narrow back hole, gently rotating and sliding it in and out a few times. Seeing that Lin Zixi had no more uncomfortable reaction, he extended his middle finger and poke it into the fleshy hole together with his index finger.

Lin Zixi made another slight resistance and was once again pacified by the man on top of him.

Gu Zecheng, with great patience, kept expanding Lin Zixi's secret hole with his fingers until that place could swallow three of his long fingers completely, and only then did he withdraw all his fingers. Holding his own penis, which was already so swollen the veins were bulging, he pressed it against the entrance of the back hole.

"Zixi..." Gu Zecheng patted Lin Zixi's face, making him look towards himself, "Who is fucking you now?"

Lin Zixi stared at the handsome face in front of him with blurry eyes for a long time and laughed “he he” before saying, "It's Daddy!"

Gu Zecheng questioned closely, "Who is Daddy?"

The person under him answered loudly in a proud tone, "It's Gu Zecheng!"

Dad Gu rewarded him with another kiss on the lips, and then, using the fierce shaft on his lower body, he ruthlessly pushed open the tightly closed secret hole and went in deeply.

Chapter 38

The phone call Gu Zecheng received was from a friend who had cooperated with him before. After exchanging a few words, the friend cut straight to the topic of wanting to invest in a new project, so the two of them inevitably talked for a while. 

Gu Zecheng returned to the private room as soon as he ended the phone call. Just as he pushed the door open, he saw Lin Zixi with a ruddy face gazing and smiling at him.

At this moment, Gu Zecheng understood what ‘limpid eyes full of feelings’ meant.

He could not help but smile along until he walked to Lin Zixi's side, and the other party suddenly fell into his arms, the smell of alcohol wafting from his body. Only then did Gu Zecheng realize—Lin Zixi was made drunk by this trickster Guan Canghai.

Regarding the midnight activities for today, Dad Gu originally had thousands of plans. Even the most luxurious honeymoon, ah, no, presidential suite in the hotel was already prepared. But now, all he could do was hug the drunk cat while reminiscing with the trickster.

Although S City and N City were not too far apart, Gu Zecheng and Guan Canghai were both busy people, and they had not seen each other for three or four years. They chatted until late at night before saying goodbye to each other. One returned to the army. The other one sighed, tore off the person who was clinging to his body, carried him horizontally, and went to the suite on the top floor of the hotel from the elevator in the special VIP passage.

Although Lin Zixi did not vomit or get wildly drunk, he kept staring and smiling obediently at his dad the whole time, and his whole body smelled of alcohol and gunpowder from the shooting range. Gu Zecheng stood under the shower and took a quick combat shower. Then he carried Lin Zixi to the bathroom, peeled his clothes off, and put him in a large bathtub that was big enough for two people.

Lin Zixi was hit by the water and finally woke up a little bit—besides giggling when seeing people, he more or less could still think (in bits and pieces).

He bowed his head and took a look at himself in the water. Then he looked up at the man in a bathrobe standing beside the bathtub, tilted his head to think, and arrived at a conclusion, "How can Daddy not take a bath after playing all day? It's too dirty, right?".

So, Lin Zixi exerted himself physically and pulled Gu Zecheng, who was washing his hair and thus completely off guard, into the bathtub.

Not to mention pulling people into the water like this, Lin Zixi still sang a song happily and excitedly just like a noisy child who followed his father to a public bath.

Well, back then when the two of them were still not familiar with each other, the car radio played his song, and it got his dad’s positive evaluation.

After singing, he leaned on the edge of the bathtub and turned his head to stare at Dad Gu, blinking his eyes and waiting for the other party to praise him again.

Although Lin Zixi was rarely motivated to take care of his body, he was born with a milky white skin that was smooth and delicate. With his slender legs submerged in the water, he sang with his upper body naked and looked at people like a siren from the depths of the ocean, breathing a pure yet dangerous temptation.

Gu Zecheng smoothed back the hair on his head that was wet again and gazed at Lin Zixi for a long time, his line of sight moving from the young man’s misty eyes to his white dazzling chest and then to his slim waist…. In the end, he took a few deep breaths, suppressed the blazing fire in his heart and below his abdomen, extended his long legs, and stepped out of the bathtub. After that, he fished the ‘siren’ out of the water, wiped the water on their bodies indiscriminately, and carried the young man into the master bedroom.

Gu Zecheng put Lin Zixi on the king-sized bed and picked up the remote control on the bedside cabinet to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner. After covering the person on the bed with a quilt, he turned around, intending to go to the second bedroom for a night’s sleep without looking back.

Even if he desperately wanted this damn siren to cry and call him Daddy with his melodious voice.

But this was their first love affair after all, and Gu Zecheng hoped that it would be done when Lin Zixi was fully conscious.

However, before Gu Zecheng could leave, a pair of slender white arms stretched out from behind him and embraced his waist tightly.

"Don't go~~" Lin Zixi stuck his face on Gu Zecheng's back and said softly with the final sound of the syllable rising up.

"Don't go… and do what?" Fucking you?! Gu Zecheng asked clearly and calmly through gritted teeth. He could feel the body temperature of the person behind him even if the wet nightgown separated them.

"Don't go..." Lin Zixi thought dazedly for a long time with his intoxicated brain and then chortled twice before saying, "Tell me a bedtime story!"

…… Gu Zecheng took a deep breath for the umpteenth time. He was simply about to use up all his self-restraint and self-control. In the end, he turned around and wrestled Lin Zixi onto the bed, making him lie down obediently without flailing about. Then he himself sat at the bedside and started... telling him stories.

The Gu family had a military background. Dad Gu had never listened to bedtime stories when he was a child, and it was even more impossible for him to read any children’s fairy tale stories as an adult. After racking his brain for a long time, he eventually could only tell anecdotes about his past experience to his listener in bed.

Big Boss Gu was a big shot who had gone through ups and downs in the business world for many years after all, and his eloquence was quite good. In addition, he had indeed experienced many storms, so the story he told was fascinating and full of twists and turns, far better than Guan Canghai’s stories!

Ten million respect and admiration raged in Lin Zixi’s heart as he listened to the story, and he did not know how to vent those feelings.

Thus, this drunkard, whose mental state was still paralyzed by alcohol, suddenly sat up again and rushed to his dad’s face to give it a kiss with a loud ‘smack’.

"I love you, Daddy?" Lin Zixi said while wrapping his arms around Gu Zecheng's neck and sending a love wink to the other party very professionally.

The man who had been unconsciously teased by him all night was silent for a few seconds and finally sighed as if he had given up struggling. He pushed the person in his arms onto the bed and kissed his rosy lips fiercely.

Gu Zecheng suppressed Lin Zixi's movements gently but kissed him like he was going to swallow him whole. Their lips and teeth intersected, and their tongues intertwined, so much so that a thread of transparent saliva flew along the corner of Lin Zixi’s mouth, which was being kept open.

After Gu Zecheng ended this very long kiss, he also kissed Lin Zixi gently on the cheek.

"I love you too." He replied.

Chapter 37

On that evening, Gu Zecheng, a new e-sports star who was strangled in the cradle by plug-ins (Mercury retrograde) before he rose, angrily criticized the operator for doing nothing while occupying a position and enjoying a salary and the plug-in users for shamelessly seeking personal gain. Finally, he concluded, "What's the point of virtual things? I’ll take you to play the real thing."

Lin Zixi originally thought that his dad was going to take him to play real-life CS. Who knew that on Saturday, Gu Zecheng dug him out of the bed early in the morning, put him in the car, and set off to the military headquarters of a certain armed forces stationed in N City next door.

When young actor Lin stood on the shooting range in the rustling cold wind of winter days, his whole person was stupid.

With a blank face, he watched his dad chat with several of his old comrades-in-arms, while he himself was surrounded by these ‘older brothers’, who were at least two stripes and one star, to sign his name for their wives and daughters. Only after he saw his dad walking back to his side with a CS/LR4 sniper rifle did he completely recover.

"Don't be nervous..." Gu Zecheng chuckled and whispered in his ear, "I said you’re preparing for an audition, and I’m doing a rushed job to train you for two days. I’ve already reported to the organization, so I don't violate discipline."

……Am I nervous about this?!

If you didn't tell me, I thought you Gu Liangchen (good days) was already so wicked you could enter and leave the military area freely!

Lin Zixi touched a real gun, a gang leader’s domestic sniper rifle to boot, for the first time in his life. He, who had only seen the real thing in other people's TV series, felt like a young man with his first love—at a loss to know what to do and burning with passion.

Gu Zecheng carefully explained to Lin Zixi how to hold and fire the CS/LR4 rifle. After that, he held the rifle in both hands, supporting it with only his hands and shoulder, took aim, and fired a shot at the target 800 meters away in a standing position.

The head of the human-shaped shooting target was smashed to pieces at the moment the gunshot sounded, and in the next second, the shooting target beside it was also hit in the same spot.

Gu Zecheng shot, pulled the bolt, and shot again…. He stood holding the rifle and fired the five bullets in the magazine in one breath, leaving behind five human-shaped targets that were all hit on the ‘forehead’.

Lin Zixi used to think that his dad looked the most handsome in the world when smoking, but today, after watching him shoot a gun, he finally knew what it meant to be so handsome it made people’s legs soft.

When Gu Zecheng fired the second shot, Lin Zixi looked at him differently. When Dad Gu finished firing five shots, the admiration in Lin Zixi's eyes was about to materialize.

Seeing Gu Zecheng, who was carrying a rifle on his shoulder, turn to face him with a raised eyebrow and a smile, there was only one sentence scrolling back and forth in his heart—if he was not my own dad, I could kneel down and beg him to give me a baby.

In his heart, young actor Lin was about to worship his dad on the altar, but there were people who did not give his dad face and undermine his ability.

"It actually took 6 seconds to fire five bullets right at the target. Xiao Gu, you’ve gotten a bit worse." This was the old leader who came to watch.

"Team Gu, can you do it or not? The big star came to train, but you showed this level to him? You mustn't say that you’ve been the captain of our little team later; it’s shameful!" This was the former comrade-in-arms who liked to fan the flames while watching the fun, trying to make things bigger.

"I’ve retired for so many years. In peacetime, even if I have the opportunity to touch a gun, how can I still touch a sniper rifle? If I don't regress, Commander, then you have to worry about whether I secretly keep a gun."

Gu Zecheng laughed along with the old and gray-haired but hale and hearty and spirited commander after explaining. Then he looked at the man with buzz cut next to him who was only in his thirties but already wore two stripes and three stars on his shoulders with a face full of disgust, "Fuck off! There’s no later for you… you’ve lost your chance. Don’t brag if your soldiers can’t even equal my record back then." 

"A real man doesn't boast about his past achievements. Let's compare now if you have the ability!" Buzzcut, who was poked in his sore spot, was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Whoever wins will be the big star’s instructor!"

However, Big Star Lin who was cued did not give him any face at all, "For me, my brother is the best, and no one can compare with him… moreover those who haven't been brave enough."

Yes, Lin Zixi habitually called his dad ‘brother’ now.

‘President Gu’ seemed too distant; ‘Zecheng’ was a little less respectful; only ‘Brother Gu’ was intimate enough yet still respectful. It could be said that there was nothing wrong with it except for the disorder of seniority in the family.

Gu Zecheng proudly rubbed his very supportive ‘younger brother’ on the head. Then he respectfully sent off the old leader, perfunctorily drove away his former comrade-in-arms, and finally got to the point, starting from the basic gun-holding action to teaching Lin Zixi how to use the CS/LR4 sniper rifle.

It was the so-called there were no poor soldiers under a good general. After Lin Zixi was trained by his former sharpshooter daddy for a day, regardless of his current shooting records, at least his action of holding the gun looked decent, and it was no problem for him to bluff and scare people.

When his one day's training was about to end, Dad Gu's annoying old comrade-in-arms returned.

Guan Canghai, who had already changed into his civilian clothes, smacked Gu Zecheng's shoulder, "I've asked for a leave. Let's get together tonight?"

Gu Zecheng naturally had this intention. After returning and registering the sniper rifle, the ammunition case, and the remaining bullets, he took Lin Zixi and his old comrade-in-arms out of the barracks.

Gu Zecheng started the car and introduced the two passengers in the car to each other—

"Lin Zixi. You’ve been staying in the army all the time, so you’ve never heard of him. He’s very popular now and has starred in several dramas. He can sing, too. He has more than 30 million followers on Weibo!"

"Guan Canghai. You can call him 'Brother Guan'. I really didn’t expect that a person who sniveled on a mission back then could become a company commander of the special forces now."

As a result, the two people he introduced were in a state of "I'm not, I didn't".

"No, no, no, it’s fake singing. And at least half of my followers on Weibo are zombie followers, so it’s untrue." Young actor Lin hurriedly explained.

"Who cried? I was really being affected by tear gas at that time. You can't talk nonsense, Team Gu!" Company Commander Guan was in a great rush to defend himself.

Anyway, regardless of Gu Zecheng's unreliable introduction, Lin Zixi quickly became familiar with Guan Canghai and heard a lot of his dad's past sophistication in the army from his mouth overnight.

Like being the first place in the military district’s martial arts competition, sniping accurately from two kilometers away, leading a team to hunt down fugitives across borders…. Previously, Lin Zixi only knew from Gu Zecheng's Baike/Wiki page that his dad had been a soldier once, but this was the first time he found out that this person, who was blood-related to him, could be so excellent.

But such an excellent sharpshooter left the army at the age of twenty-three….

    

Lin Zixi sighed a little regretfully. Although Gu Zecheng was now very powerful after charging into the business world by himself and getting a piece of the pie, boys generally would always be more keen on an army legend.

Just as Lin Zixi was about to ask his dad the reason for his military discharge back then, Gu Zecheng's mobile phone rang, so he made an apologetic gesture and left the room to answer the phone call.

Therefore, Lin Zixi could only continue to listen to the story while being forced to drink alcohol by his ‘Brother Guan'—Guan Canghai could not drink during non-vacation time due to organizational discipline, but he tried his best to persuade his two table-mates to drink and still called it by the glorified name of "I must entertain guests as the host."

…… The host? Bullshit!

This hotel was run by my dad; can they really make you be a ‘host’ and entertain guests?!

Lin Zixi drank and inwardly complained about Guan Canghai at the same time. With such a character, it was no wonder that his dad was ruthless when talking to this old comrade-in-arms.

However, compared to ‘Brother Qiao’, who had frightened him at a glance in B City and was also Gu Zecheng’s old friend, ‘Brother Guan’ was obviously better.

Qiao Weidong's sentence "I thought he’s your illegitimate child" back then had scared Lin Zixi so much he still had lingering fears when he recalled it now.

Of course, Lin Zixi also understood that Guan Canghai could shoot his mouth off in front of a person he met for the first time clearly because Gu Zecheng treated him with the kind of intimacy he would have when facing his own people.

Ever since he was injured and woke up in the hospital, the relationship between him and Gu Zecheng in the past two months could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.

To this day, Lin Zixi believed that even if his dad did not regard him as his own son, being an adoptive younger brother was always possible.

When Gu Zecheng introduced Lin Zixi to Qiao Weidong back then, he said, "The star I’ve mentioned to you before". Lin Zixi did not know what Gu Zecheng would have said if it was Qiao Weidong they were meeting now….

Lin Zixi was urged to drink alcohol by Guan Canghai while his mind started to wander. When he recalled Qiao Weidong's sharp gaze, he suddenly shivered for some reason, and a subtle ominous premonition rose in his heart.
