Gu Xuzhou had a dream, a very scary dream.

In the dream, Gu's capital chain was broken and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. His brother had been working overtime for more than half a month and was exhausted. He suddenly became dizzy while crossing the road and was run over by a car.

My father fell down the stairs and became paralyzed and suffered a stroke. He was unable to take care of himself.

At that time, he had just entered the research institute that he had always dreamed of. He thought it was the beginning of a new life, but he did not expect that it was the beginning of a nightmare.

Gu Xuzhou hurried back from other places, and his originally happy family was shattered. He faced only his father who was unconscious and paralyzed in bed, and his brother who even had his body missing.

While dealing with his brother's funeral, taking care of his father who was paralyzed by a stroke in the hospital, and dealing with debt collectors, he didn't sleep for three days in a row and was so tired that he couldn't stand still.

He was only 17 years old that year.

Gu's family eventually went bankrupt, and all his family property was confiscated by the court. Gu Xuzhou didn't even have a place to live, and food was a problem.

If he were alone, he could sleep on the street or on a park bench, but he still has a paralyzed father who needs treatment.

He could only borrow money from relatives.

The Yu family, who once relied on their family to settle down in the city, suddenly became prosperous and squeezed into the local rich circle after the Gu family went bankrupt.

When Gu Xuzhou went to borrow money, the Yu family, who had been so warm to them in every possible way, became irritated and humiliated him with all kinds of vicious words. His self-esteem was trampled on, and he became red-eyed on the spot and wanted nothing more than to beat him up for his disgusting appearance.

He punched the Yu family members and scolded them for having no conscience.

But he couldn't. His father was in urgent need of 300,000 yuan for treatment, and his self-esteem was nothing compared to his father's life.

The Yu family asked him to kneel in front of the door, and only if they were in a good mood would they lend him money.

Gu Xuzhou knelt for two full hours under the scorching sun while the neighbors were talking.

In the end, the Yu family gave money to him like a charity.

The money hurt his cheeks, and the huge humiliation flooded him like a tide. Gu Xuzhou's eyes were hot, and he gritted his teeth to prevent tears from falling.

Seeing his humble and desolate appearance, the Yu family members sneered and said in a giving tone: "Pick it up."

Gu Xuzhou knelt on the ground, holding back the humiliation and hatred, and picked up the life-saving money from his father with trembling arms.

At that moment, Gu Xuzhou, who had been staying in the ivory tower and was well protected, realized that his father and brother had helped him block the evil intentions of the world and forcibly supported his pure white world.

Gu Xuzhou grew up overnight.

He gave up his dream and worked five or six jobs, traveling around the city every day and working until late at night.

This kind of life suffocated him, and his desire to live was almost wiped out, but he still had a father, and he must take good care of his father.

One day, Gu Xuzhou dragged his exhausted body home and happened to see Wu Yu, who had been working as a nanny at his house, coming out of the house.

After the Gu family went bankrupt, Wu Yu also became very cold, and Gu Xuzhou cut off contact with her long ago.

At this time, Wu Yu's expression was ferocious and crazy, with bloodthirsty hatred, completely different from the gentle she used to be.

Gu Xuzhou had a bad premonition in his heart and quickly ran into the house.

Fortunately, my father is fine.

My father, who was originally energetic and elegant, was now as skinny as firewood, exuding a rotten smell, unable to move or speak, and often unconscious. At this time, my father was lying on his back on the bed, turbid tears falling one by one, and his eyes were filled with tears.

It was full of bloodshot eyes, and a broken cry came from his mouth.

Gu Xuzhou quickly stepped forward and held his father's hand.

His father looked at him, his eyes filled with distress, guilt, worry, and despair.

Gu Xuzhou held his father's hand and was so scared that he forgot to breathe.

He had a premonition that his father would leave him forever.

My father died late at night three days later.

It was so cold that night that all the blood in Gu Xuzhou's body froze. He sat in front of his father's hospital bed. His eyes were sore and painful, but he could not shed a single tear.

It was getting brighter and he came out of the hospital.

He was walking like a zombie, walking in vain on the street, looking up at the east.

Even though the sun has obviously climbed above the horizon, why is his world still dark?

Gu Xuzhou forgot everything around him. He couldn't see anything or hear sounds. He didn't know where he was or where he was going.

Suddenly, a clear and clear voice broke into his world: "Be careful!"

Before Gu Xuzhou had time to react, his body was surrounded by a crisp breath, his back pressed against a warm and generous chest, the world suddenly turned around, and he was held and fell to the side.

The world returned to its original state, and the roaring truck passed by where he was standing just now. If someone hadn't knocked him down, his ending would have been the same as his brother's.

Gu Xuzhou looked at the person who rescued him.

He is a young man of similar age.

The young man was wearing a shabby cotton coat, his body was as tall as a pine tree, his eyebrows were picturesque, his facial features were exquisite, and his dark eyes were as deep as a dry well, without a trace of light.

He was lying on his side on the ground, frowning slightly and looking at his wrist.

Just now, the young man put his hand under his head, saving him from a bloody head.

Gu Xuzhou quickly helped him up, and he looked at the young man's hand guiltily and worriedly.

The boy has fair skin, and his tender frame is covered with a thin layer of muscles with smooth lines, but his arms are bruised and purple, and a scar that has not yet healed can be seen where the sleeves cover it.

The young man noticed Gu Xuzhou's gaze and did not deliberately withdraw his hand. Instead, he looked at him with a gaze without any warmth.

Gu Xuzhou noticed his impoliteness, looked away, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, your hand was sprained all because of me."

The young man looked at him and remained silent.

Gu Xuzhou said nothing and looked at the young man quietly.

After a full minute, the young man said in a cold tone: "You are not a person who wants to die. What's wrong with you?"

What's wrong?

His family was bankrupt, his brother died, and he suffered a lot of humiliation in order to raise money for his father's medical treatment. He was so tired that he couldn't breathe, but he still couldn't keep his father, and there was no light in his world.

Three simple words broke all Gu Xuzhou's strong pretense. He held this stranger whom he had only met once, stood on the roadside and cried loudly.

The moment the young man was hugged, his body stiffened and he frowned, but he did not push away the person who had covered his shoulders with snot and tears.

Gu Xuzhou cried for a long time, until all his tears were gone, and then he stopped.

The young man helped him to the wooden chair beside him. Looking at Gu Xuzhou who was still crying and hiccupping, he paused and said, "Wait a minute."

The young man walked away.

After Gu Xuzhou cried, he felt much better and gradually calmed down.

The young man came back and handed him the soy milk in his hand: "Drink a little, your throat will become hoarse from crying."

The young man's temperament is indifferent and distant, and he seems to be a very cold person, but the details show that he is actually a very gentle person at heart.

Gu Xuzhou looked at him gratefully and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man's cold eyes fell on him, and he opened his lips calmly: "Cen Shuo."

…

A sharp roar suddenly sounded in Gu Xuzhou's ears, and the word "Cen Shuo" pierced his mind like a knife. After the severe pain passed, a book appeared in his mind out of thin air.

He turned out to be just a tragic supporting character in Danmei's novel. Everything was planned by the author in advance. After his father passed away, he quickly committed suicide by jumping off the building.

The heart-throb protagonist of the novel is the young man named Cen Shuo in front of him.

Cen Shuo had a tragic fate and suffered no less malice and humiliation than him.

His father abandoned him before he was born, and he and his mother depended on each other for life, but God was unfair and took his mother away again.

Little Cen Shuo can only live alone.

He lives in rumors and sarcastic insults, and the malice of the world seems to be imposed on him.

He was so tired that he had a high fever and fell into coma, just for a bite of food.

He was bullied, bullied, humiliated, and lived like a rat crossing the street.

He was falsely accused of stealing money and was expelled from school, unable to fulfill his mother's long-cherished wish.

…………

Fortunately, there are three protagonists waiting for Cen Shuo in the book. They will protect him, redeem him, and warm him. With their support, Cen Shuo walks out of the abyss and welcomes new life.

But it's still only the beginning of the novel, and the three protagonists won't appear for another half a year.

Cen Shuo was still struggling in the quagmire.

From a few words in the book, Gu Xuzhou also learned the real reason why the Gu family went bankrupt and his brother and father died.

The Yu family and nanny Wu Yu were ambitious and greedy, and did not remember the goodness of the Gu family at all. Out of jealousy, they designed to frame the Gu family, causing the Gu family to go bankrupt.

His father suffered a stroke and was paralyzed after being pushed down the stairs by the Yu family. Afterwards, his father was confused and could not speak, so he could not correct the Yu family.

The getaway driver who killed his brother was Wu Yu. Wu Yu went to their low-cost rental house that day just to stimulate his father. It was also because of Wu Yu that his father lost his life.

Ask yourself, they have never felt sorry for the Yu family and Wu Yu, but treated them with all their heart and soul, but my father and brother ended up like this.
