can you correct me

Chapter 5 Ten Years of Dedication, Grace Repaid

Lin Chengcheng looked at him in a daze, then looked back at Jimmy who was on the phone. Jimmy stopped the phone in his hand, shook his head at her, and signaled her not to leave.

"But isn't your stomach still recovering?"

"fine."

His slender fingers turned the bowl on the table.Although he tried his best to conceal his emotions and restrain his expression, Lin Chengcheng could still see the loneliness in his eyes, like a wounded little leopard, who wanted to push away the people around him and lick the wound alone.

Jimmy hung up the last call and walked over.

"Leave the rest to me, as long as you take care of your body." After that, he looked at Lin Chengcheng again, and gestured for a phone call, "I'm leaving first."

After sending Jimmy away, Lin Chengcheng looked at Gu Shengyan who was lying on the sofa with his arms on his knees and rubbing his temple with one hand, and suddenly felt a little distressed.She never thought that such a high-ranking person would have such a lonely time.

"Let me change a bowl of porridge for you." She walked forward slowly.

"No. I'm fine."

He didn't hear a response, so he looked up, and found that the little girl beside him hesitated to speak, and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"You must be very sad." Lin Chengcheng bit his lip and asked softly.

"Such a good opportunity, don't you want to ask something else?" He smiled wryly.

She shook her head.

Gu Shengyan turned sideways, looked at the little girl with sympathetic eyes, and said slowly: "What are you doing?"

"I... I just think that if you want to cry, I won't laugh at you." After that, she seemed afraid that the person opposite would not believe her, so she raised her right hand again, "I swear."

This action made Gu Shengyan feel better, and the corner of his mouth twitched a bit: "I don't need to cry. Even if I quit the entertainment industry, my savings are still enough for me to live well. I have nothing to cry about." Then The subject changed, "It's you, girl, if the food is so unpalatable again, I might consider extending the validity period of the contract."

Lin Chengcheng looked at him angrily, and wanted to comfort him, but it seemed that there was no need for comfort at all, it was really unnecessary.

"Oh." She responded dully, picked up the bowl on the table and walked towards the kitchen, but she didn't see the fading smiles of the people behind her.

While washing the dishes, Lin Chengcheng was chanting, still depressed about what he said just now.

But when she passed by the door of the study, she caught sight of Gu Shengyan leaning against the wall, sitting on the balcony of the study, holding a photo frame in her hand. She has never seen such a photo frame after tidying up the study for so long .

He didn't turn on the light, but the moonlight was very bright that night, shining into the room, outlining his handsome outline, but he couldn't see the expression on his face.Even so, the atmosphere around him still made Lin Chengcheng feel lonely.

She froze at the door, holding the freshly washed cup in her hand, staring blankly.She didn't know if his childhood was really so full of darkness, but she hoped that he could become a little happier.

Unfortunately, the people who were watched easily found her again.

"Do you believe it?" The voice was very soft, but she could just hear it.

"What?" Lin Chengcheng recovered.

"They said I hid my background for fame and fortune."

Unexpectedly, he would ask himself such a question, Lin Chengcheng didn't know how to answer for a while.

Of course she didn't believe it.Yes, before today, she might just be one of the thousands of sailors. Although she doesn't comment, it is absolutely impossible for her to fully trust him.But when she really walked into his life, he was afraid of disturbing his grandmother's filial piety, his dedication to work, his rigor and earnestness in making films, his sense of responsibility to fans and the public, and the public welfare foundation has been working hard for several years. Functioning, his insomnia and physical discomfort, everything was not fake.

Recalling his charitable foundation that his mother has "sponsored" countless times, perhaps because he had an unfortunate childhood, he is always giving back and protecting other equally unfortunate children in society.

But she didn't know how to say it to sound sincere.

"I see." He turned his head and turned his back to the light, so he couldn't see the expression on his face, but he could see his deep eyes trembling slightly in the night, revealing a trace of loneliness.

Lin Chengcheng shook his head hastily, and clenched the cup in his hand.She bit her lip: "I believe in you."

He smiled lightly, and there was a little tenderness in his dark eyes.

"Come here, girl."

"Oh." She forgot to put down the cup in her hand, and walked over obediently, but for some reason, she always remembered what happened when he had a stomachache just now.

Approaching him, before he could speak, the photo frame beside him caught Lin Chengcheng's attention.

"Huh? What is this?"

The picture frame is not a photo, it looks more like a clipping from an old newspaper.

He followed her gaze to the side, picked up the photo frame at hand, hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "After that incident, there is nothing left at home, and I don't even have a group photo of the whole family." After that, He reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, "The reports in the newspapers are the only way I can find to not forget their appearance."

"It was hard, I mean, back then."

"I can't remember. They have always had a bad relationship. We never had a complete meal together, and we always broke up."

He spoke calmly, but the melancholy in his eyes couldn't hide from the girl's eyes.

Lin Chengcheng doesn't know how to comfort others. Whenever he encounters any unhappy things, as long as he eats the food cooked by his father, he will immediately become lively. Although this father who is an engineering designer always looks serious, he loves his daughter Still very focused on this.

Thinking of this, she had an idea.

"Otherwise, I'll take you back to my house for dinner tomorrow!"

Gu Shengyan laughed suddenly, watching her bright and lively eyes keep changing directions, biting her lips from time to time, it turned out that she was trying to comfort him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Chengcheng was a little embarrassed: "I don't mean anything else. Because when I am unhappy, I will go home and ask my father to cook a table of delicious dishes. After eating, I feel that everything is not so difficult, because I Dad said that every moment actually has its own reasons for happiness.”

She tried her best to persuade this man who had never spoken.

In fact, he is not without curiosity about the little girl's family, but he just thinks that now is not a good time.

"You... don't want to? It's still... inconvenient." She asked cautiously, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.She was a little annoyed at her rashness and forgot his identity.

"No, I just think it's too rude, your parents will mind."

"No, no, my father is very kind and gentle. As for my mother, she is your fan, and she will be very happy." As long as it is about you, she can't wait Copy it down and write it down in her "Handbook for Chasing Stars", Lin Chengcheng thought secretly.

Seeing her sudden excitement, he unconsciously smiled.

Lin Chengcheng proudly raised the water glass in his hand: "Fortunately, unknown people are never allowed to approach the apartment where you live, so we can sneak out very successfully!"

"You did your homework well." He smiled.

"Of course. If you want to follow up in the place where you live, the difficulty is 24 stars. How could I not know, the team with you looks like a life without love every day when we start work."

Looking at Gu Shengyan's eyes full of smiles, she realized that she seemed to have revealed something, covered her mouth nervously, and turned her head in a panic: "Then...then it's settled! I'm going home, come tomorrow Pick you up, you...you remember to take your medicine at night."

After finishing speaking, she turned around to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.The body temperature that didn't belong to her came from her wrist, like an electric current quickly passed through her whole body, and she quickly recalled the scene of being held by him and pressed her stomach, and the feeling of tension, embarrassment and strong heartbeat reappeared on her.

She stood there in a daze, her cheeks were hot and she couldn't speak.

The voice was very close, it seemed to come from less than one centimeter behind her ear——

"Let's go together tomorrow."

"No...no need, I'd better...come to pick you up tomorrow." With her back to him, she moved her wrist slightly, trying to break free from this scene that could easily induce a heart attack.

The person behind let go of her, walked up to her, tilted his head, and motioned her to look at the clock hanging on the wall.

It's already 01:30 in the morning.

Lin Chengcheng bit his lip and heard him say: "The car I drove back today is my own, so I can't take you off. Jimmy will come to change the car tomorrow, and we will go together." It seemed to be answering her question.

"It's okay, I can go by myself." Her curved brows concealed the panic in her eyes.

"I'm worried."

Lin Chengcheng raised her head, a trace of curiosity flashed through her bright eyes, met his burning eyes, and she was defeated in an instant.

"What are you afraid of?" A deep, smiling voice entered her burning ears.

Then, Lin Chengcheng became shy.

Therefore, Lin Chengcheng, who was extremely shy, gave full play to her greatest advantage in the past 22 years-sturdy mouth.

"Who said I'm afraid, I'm going back to my room first, see you tomorrow."

After all, she returned to the room at a speed almost running.

The people behind admired her cute reaction and raised the corners of their mouths.

Gu Shengyan walked to the kitchen, wanted to pour a glass of water, glanced at the place where a water glass was missing on the shelf, and smiled slightly, probably not really scaring the little girl.Thinking of this, he frowned again in an instant.

It was going to be a tough day, but it didn't seem as dire as he'd imagined.He doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. If he can fool the children, he can't fool himself. Both he and Jimmy know very well that this time is more serious than ever. I'm going to lose my fortune.

Putting down the cup, he rubbed his swollen temples. Let's leave tomorrow's business for tomorrow.

Thinking about what happened that night, Lin Chengcheng stayed up all night, tossing and turning, until two or three o'clock in the morning before he gradually fell asleep.But in the dream, Gu Shengyan's shadow appeared again, he hooked his hand at her: "Come here, girl."

In the morning, seven o'clock sharp.

Lin Chengcheng was awakened by the voice in his dream, and sat up in shock.

Lin Chengcheng, Lin Chengcheng, people say, you think about it every day and dream at night, what are you thinking about all day long?She patted her cheeks, rolled over and got out of bed, picked up the cup by the bed, and wanted to go out to drink some water.

Just as she was about to approach the table, there was a faint sound from the living room.

"Are you willing to take out the cup? I thought you wanted to keep it as a souvenir."

Lin Chengcheng saw that Gu Shengyan was already dressed smartly on the side of the sofa, as if he had just hung up a phone call, with a computer in his hand, and only looked up at her.

Every time Lin Chengcheng faced Gu Shengyan, as long as his eyes were not on her, she would "act recklessly", just like this moment.

"No, what is there to commemorate."

"What do you think?" Gu Shengyan raised his head from behind the computer and stared at her until she gave up drinking water and ran back to the bedroom with the cup in her arms.

For the next few hours, she hated herself for always underestimating this person's ability to tease her.

Lin Chengcheng called home after calming down.Lin Guohai described to her daughter how Ms. Li, the director of the gynecology department who was on vacation at home, cried out with red eyes after seeing the news about Gu Shengyan.

After Lin Chengcheng said that he would bring Gu Shengyan to his home for dinner, he patiently comforted and persuaded Ms. Li for half an hour before calming down her screams and stopping her urge to post on Weibo.

"Can we go?" Lin Chengcheng poked out a cute half-ball head from the room, and carefully asked the people in the living room.

"Let's go."

Lin Chengcheng stood holding his small bag in the parking lot and looked at the car Gu Shengyan drove in front of him. It was still the black car he took him home last time. It seemed that Jimmy would send him a car specially every time.It's really hard work, she thought.

"Not getting in the car?"

"oh oh."

After Lin Chengcheng got into the car, he quickly put on his seat belt, put himself in the most comfortable position, and then turned on his phone and called up the navigation.

"200 meters ahead, turn left, please take the middle lane and enter the second intersection..."

The man in the driver's seat frowned, and glanced at the contents of her bag: "What are you doing?"

"Navigation." She replied obediently, with a bit of pride.

"Very noisy, turn it off."

"Don't you usually use it?"

"Need not."

"Go straight through the first intersection, and take photos at a limited speed 300 meters ahead..."

Gu Shengyan rubbed his temples, Lin Chengcheng turned off the navigation in a panic, pouting his mouth with a trace of dissatisfaction.

He glanced at the movement of the child next to him, cleared his throat, and said, "Guide the way."

"Didn't you send me off?" Her voice was muffled, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Your voice is nice and not noisy." He turned around an intersection and said in a neutral tone.It didn't sound like a compliment at all, but it seemed to make Lin Chengcheng feel a little happier unintentionally.

He has never tried to talk to the child he likes like this, so sometimes he is always afraid that he will scare her because of his strong tone. Fortunately, she is confused and always easy to be happy.

"Hey, go straight at the next intersection."

……

Lin Chengcheng, who was in a good mood, showed him the way along the way, and occasionally carefully analyzed the roads that would be congested at this time, suggesting that he take a detour.

Gu Shengyan has never used such a cute and lovable navigation.

After several times of confirming that there was no one around, Lin Chengcheng took Gu Shengyan into the elevator.

Ms. Li was ready to greet her at the door early. Although Lin Chengcheng emphasized not to show off, but the moment Gu Shengyan entered the door, a fireworks sprayer erupted in response.

Lin Chengcheng was so frightened that he almost screamed, but when he looked up, he saw his father who was calmly chopping vegetables in the kitchen in the distance, so he could only look at the broken fireworks that were waiting for him to clean up.

As for Gu Shengyan beside him, the royal blue sweater cap was covered with glittering ribbons, which looked a little funny.

Ms. Li covered her mouth with her hands, looked at Gu Shengyan's eyes, as if she was looking at her little son whom she had loved for many years, pulled him and asked, "Well, Xiaoyan, come, sit down." There is nothing in her eyes now. His own daughter.

Even though Lin Chengcheng had already told him ten thousand times that if you can't ask, you must not ask, but the father and daughter still saw that Ms. Li, who is a die-hard fan, patted Gu Shengyan on the back with red eyes: "Xiaoyan, Auntie really didn't expect to meet you." When it comes to you, you have been our own child in our eyes for so many years! Auntie saw what happened when you were a child, and I really...really..." Before I could finish speaking, I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and started began to cry.

Lin Chengcheng whispered in Lin Guohai's ear: "Dad, my mother is exaggerating, she never cried for me once."

"Heh, in the past 20 years, your mother has only cried for me once, and now she is better, not as good as her 'son' whom she met for the first time."

The father and daughter looked at each other and shook their heads.

Gu Shengyan worked hard to deal with the sincere and enthusiastic "Mother Li": "Auntie, thank you for your support for so many years. Without you and everyone these years, I would not be where I am today."

"Xiaoyan, don't talk like that, it's you who work hard enough and are so good, Auntie..."

"Mom, it's time to eat!" Lin Chengcheng rescued Gu Shengyan in time, and received his grateful eyes.

"Xiao Gu, Chengcheng said that he would bring friends back, so I made a few home-cooked dishes, you can eat and see if it suits your appetite."

Gu Shengyan nodded politely: "Thank you Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Where is it, Chengcheng doesn't bring many friends home, so you must have a good relationship, so you don't have to be polite."

Gu Shengyan smiled, and looked at Lin Chengcheng beside him.Although Lin Chengcheng also squeezed out a smile, she really wanted to tell her father that it was this very good friend who just forced her to dare not drink a sip of water all morning, and she did a manual navigation all the way back home. It's going to smoke.

While Gu Shengyan was talking with Papa Lin, he lowered his head and found that the dishes in his bowl were almost overflowing, while the "Mama Li" on the opposite side was still trying hard to find the best dishes for him.Taking a closer look, my own bowl seems to be a circle larger than the bowls of their family of three.

Well, maybe two laps too.

"Mom!" Lin Chengcheng looked at Ms. Li, who didn't talk to father and daughter after Gu Shengyan entered the door, feeling a little resentful.

"Xiaoyan has encountered so many things recently, you need to eat more, and you will be able to face setbacks mentally." After she finished speaking, she touched Lin Guohai next to her with her arm, "Right, husband."

Lin Guohai immediately realized what he had said before, to help them enlighten Gu Shengyan, and he received a hint from his wife, so he had no choice but to act.

"When Chengcheng was young, I was still working in the design institute. There was a very important project that year, which was related to whether I could be promoted. I asked a colleague to send the blueprint. At that time, I finished it. Check, but I didn't expect her to add a sum to it temporarily. In fact, the colleague at that time, he just believed in his own judgment, but because of that sum, the final budget was inaccurate, and we lost a lot of money. He was punished for this incident."

Gu Shengyan smiled, a trace of thought flashed across his deep eyes.

"Do you know why I was the only one who was punished?" Lin Guohai then asked himself and answered, "Sometimes, people only see the result and don't care about the process. The leaders at that time had high expectations of me, so that this incident The occurrence of the incident caused me to have a deviation in his heart, so he was very angry at the time. Of course, I am also responsible for this matter. If I personally sent it, the matter would not turn out like this. So don’t take this matter too seriously. Take it to heart, sometimes people are disappointed when their fantasies don't match reality."

"Well, I remember my dad was very unhappy every day at that time, and my mother and I were also very affected. Later, he said, since something has happened, try not to affect the people around you, and don't hurt people who believe in you. So he went to the leader at the time to explain and apologize, and until now, although it is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, we still often drink tea and chat together." Lin Chengcheng said vaguely while biting a chicken wing.

Lin Guohai nodded in satisfaction, looked at Gu Shengyan, and said slowly: "Xiao Gu, the affairs of the fathers are their responsibility. As long as you do yourself well, everything will be fine. God will always favor real people."

"Yeah, Xiaoyan, don't be afraid, Mother Li will always stand behind you, and all the 'flames' will support you! You must work hard!"

With a smile in his eyes, Gu Shengyan looked at the three people at the dining table who were looking at him.

For the first time in his life, nearly 30 years ago, he felt that the dining table was such a warm and joyful place.He had never heard such earnest and fatherly words from Papa Lin.But at this moment, he just felt that the warmth had settled in his long-silent heart, and a flower was gradually blooming.

"Well, I definitely will," he said firmly.

"Okay, then eat more!" Lin Guohai looked at the big boy with distress but admiration. It seemed that his wife's vision was as good as ever.

This meal, as Lin Chengcheng said, was extremely healing, but it did not include Gu Shengyan's newly recovered stomach.

After dinner, Lin Chengcheng pulled him aside, and took out his usual stomach medicine like a god: "Are you okay, sorry, my parents are like this, they always like to let the guests eat more."

"Don't be sorry, it's delicious."

Looking at his smiling eyes, Lin Chengcheng was a little absent-minded.

"Won't you show me around?"

"Ah good."

She gave a brief introduction, and soon, Gu Shengyan was dragged by Papa Lin to play chess again.And that Ms. Li naturally did not leave the chess table.

It wasn't until dusk that Gu Shengyan answered a phone call before preparing to leave.

Lin Chengcheng stopped the reluctant Ms. Li and sent him downstairs alone.

"Girl, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

"Thank you mom and dad for me, I will visit them again when I have the chance."

"Ah."

After that, he rubbed her hair, turned and got into the car.

And Lin Chengcheng stood at the door of the parking lot, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

When she got home, she thought over and over for a long time, and finally called Jimmy.

Early the next morning, Gu Shengyan was woken up by a phone call.

"Sheng Yan, I swear, I will never doubt your vision in the future."

Just as Gu Shengyan was about to speak, Jimmy's voice sounded again.

"Go online! Lanfeng website."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Gu Shengyan frowned and turned on the computer beside the bed.

He didn't even need to open the webpage of Lanfeng Magazine, an article titled "Ten Years" has quickly become popular on the Internet, with tens of millions of reposts.

This article reviewed his ten-year acting career in detail, and what moved him the most was the passage at the end:

After ten years of hard work, the favor will be repaid.He never owed the world, but the world only owed him justice.
