CH 45

Lin Zixi waited uneasily in the bedroom for almost two hours and did not see Gu Zecheng come in to ‘deal with him’. He felt like a death row prisoner who clearly had arrived at noon but not yet been executed.

Waiting for misfortune to come was sometimes more unbearable than the misfortune itself.

Lin Zixi watched the time on his mobile phone jump from 6:59 to 7:00 and finally, gritting his teeth, opened the door himself and walked out.

To his surprise, there was no light in the living room, and the dark suite was filled with silence and the smell of alcohol.

Was his dad not worried about him running away, so he went out to talk about business after drinking with Qiao Weidong?

Lin Zixi thought about it while fumbling around to turn on the light but was suddenly hugged from behind.

Gu Zecheng's voice, which was lower and deeper than usual, sounded in his ear, "What’s your answer to the question I asked at the airport?"

Gu Zecheng's breath carried a thick smell of alcohol, and he wrapped his arms around him so tight like he wanted to press him into his body.

Lin Zixi wriggled his body uncomfortably and intuitively sensed a dangerous aura, but he still bit his lip and said, "Since I can have good resources and develop well by relying on my company, why should I look for a gold master to defile myself?

"Heh, gold master? Defiling? Heh..." Gu Zecheng was not as furious as Lin Zixi had anticipated, but his ambiguous and low laugh made Lin Zixi shudder even more. "So when you’re with me before, enduring disgust and making yourself wronged, it’s all a pretense at complying for the sake of resources?"

Lin Zixi trembled, trying hard to calm down his madly beating heart, and forced himself to nod and say, "Otherwise...you think it's because I like you?"

Gu Zecheng also nodded, "Heh... Who said your acting skills aren’t good?!"

After speaking, he released the arms that had been imprisoning Lin Zixi, "You go away. It's best not to appear in front of me again in this life, or else……"

Gu Zecheng paused and put down his words with emphasis, "No matter if it's Dao Zhongping or Wang Zhongping who wants to guide you, I can make you unable to get up in the entertainment circle forever!"

"Okay." Lin Zixi nodded. He made every effort to restrain his urge to turn his head and look at Gu Zecheng and walked straight towards the door of the presidential suite.

Obviously, Lin Zixi should’ve felt relieved for being able to cut the mess with Gu Zecheng so quickly and solve everything before the other party discovered the truth, but he could not relax no matter what.

Lin Zixi felt his body getting heavier with every step he took as if a heavy object was pressing him down from the top of his head and someone had stolen his power.

When he finally got to the door, he grasped the doorknob but barely had the strength to turn it down.

He took a deep breath and, without looking back, said to his father, his lover, "Take care of yourself", in an unemotional tone. Finally, he opened the door and walked out.

Lin Zixi walked to the brightly lit corridor, wiped the tears that slipped down his cheeks at some point, and said to himself: This lamp is really too bright; it's as bright as secular morality… stinging people's eyes.

He took another deep breath and raised his foot to step into the light again.

However, he was suddenly grabbed by the arm from behind in the next second.

Gu Zecheng watched Lin Zixi turn his head back in astonishment and stared at his still wet eyes for a long time before pulling him into the presidential suite with a single tug.

The double door was slammed shut, blocking all light shining from the corridor.

In this dark room, Lin Zixi was pressed against the door by Gu Zecheng and asked, "Did you reject me because you don't like me or..."

He paused and then whispered the second half of the sentence in Lin Zixi's ear, "Because I'm your father?"

Gu Zecheng's voice was so flat that it seemed like there was no trace of waves, but when it reached Lin Zixi's ears, it was like a roar of thunder.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask how Gu Zecheng knew and why should he act with him since he already knew, but he seemed to be drained of all his strength and could not make a sound for a long time.

Gu Zecheng no longer waited for Lin Zixi to start talking and just bowed his head and covered the other party’s lips, blocking everything he wanted to say with his lips and teeth.

Lin Zixi began to struggle the moment he was kissed by Gu Zecheng, but Gu Zecheng confined him against the door panel with more strength and kissed him more deeply.

That kiss was not tender at all. It was like punishment and like venting all the emotions behind the calm mask.

When Gu Zecheng finally ended the kiss, Lin Zixi’s face was already full of tears.

Gu Zecheng wiped Lin Zixi’s tears with his hands and then said gently but firmly, "As long as you’re willing, no matter how strict the rules in this world are, they have to accommodate us. Zixi, don't be afraid."

After speaking, Gu Zecheng kissed Lin Zixi again.

This time, it was as soft as a butterfly that accidentally landed on his lips. As long as it was gently waved, it would flap its wings and fly away, never to be seen again.

Lin Zixi cried without a sound even harder, but his hands were no longer pushing in resistance. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Gu Zecheng's neck and raised his head to accept this feather butterfly that flew across the etiquette ocean and the secular abyss to him.

It was brightly lit like daytime outside the door of the presidential suite of one of the world's best hotels, but inside the door, it was dark.

In this darkness, Gu Zecheng and Lin Zixi kissed and hugged each other like ordinary couples in the world.

Until Lin Zixi's stomach made a ‘rumbling’ sound. Gu Zecheng finally released him and reached out to turn on all the lights in the entire presidential suite as well as the ventilation function of the central air conditioner.

The tears on Lin Zixi's face had long dried up. At this moment, he was blushing a little and touched his nose embarrassedly, "My last meal was afternoon tea on the plane."

"It's my fault." Gu Zecheng smiled and pulled him to the dining room, handing him the menu on the dining table. Then he led the person to sit on the sofa in the living room, "What do you want to eat? I’ll let the chef make it for you."

Lin Zixi said, "It's already so late. I'll grow meat if I eat too much," and was hauled by his dad to sit on the other party's lap.

Gu Zecheng pinched his waist with some distress, "It's best to grow some meat. How have you become this thin?! Daddy must feed you till full today." 

Since it was said that of all the virtues, filial piety came first, young actor Lin decided to listen to his dad, throwing all the worries of looking ‘conspicuously fat on cameras’ to the Ps master. "Then I want to eat lobster pasta, sautéed lily bulbs with gingko, plus a cup of stewed abalone and sea cucumber…. The food in country L leans toward sour and spicy, you know. It’s really a torture for me."

Gu Zecheng immediately added a portion of honey shrimp balls, which Lin Zixi usually liked, when calling the room service.

The dishes prepared by the chefs of a six-star hotel for their big boss were naturally excellent in flavor, and even the plating and the decorative carvings were exquisite and ingenious.

Lin Zixi ate and drank to his satisfaction. While sighing over how great the food was, he lounged on the seat and was unwilling to move one bit, like a cat with a full belly basking in the sun.

Gu Zecheng picked up the kitten and carried him into the bathroom of the master bedroom.

Lin Zixi was already very embarrassed when he was carried into the bathroom and quickly motioned for the other party to put him down.

As a result, his dad removed his clothes while smiling happily and whispered in his ear, "I’ve said it just now, Daddy must feed you until you’re full today."

Thus, the kitten puffed up his fur.
