Chapter 217 A Caged Bird
"Yes, when I was five years old, I really liked a stray white mixed-breed dog. I took it home because it wasn't a purebred."
My mom didn't like it and insisted on giving it away. I couldn't bear to part with it, so I took the puppy and secretly ran away from home, wandering outside for a night.
When my parents found me, they gave me a mixed doubles match.
"And then, what happened to that little dog?"
Seeing Gu Chengyuan turn his head to ask, he seemed very eager to know what happened to the little white dog.
Shao Chongsi smiled and continued, "After the mixed doubles, my parents had vented their anger and agreed to keep the little white dog. They also said that if they were going to raise it, they would have to take care of it themselves."
I was only five years old then, and my mom forced me to walk the dog at five in the morning. I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the grass…
"Pfft... Hahaha..." Gu Chengyuan finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
After placing the barbecue in his hand onto the barbecue plate, Gu Chengyuan picked up a few more raw pieces and continued grilling, saying with a smile, "So, you were this cute as a child, lawyer? You even ran away from home. It's lucky you weren't kidnapped by human traffickers. No wonder you got a double beating. If it were me, I could have beaten you for three days and three nights."
Shao Chongsi looked at Gu Chengyuan's profile, his gaze falling on Gu Chengyuan's slightly reddish-brown eyelashes.
"And you, what's the most rebellious thing you've ever done?" Shao Chongsi asked in return.
"Probably to enter the entertainment industry," he thought, wanting to escape his mother's control. At home, it felt like he was wearing chains on his feet, with no freedom at all...
Even how much food she ate was strictly controlled by her mother.
Did you enter the entertainment industry because you like it?
Hearing Shao Chongsi's casual question, he felt no pressure and replied with a smile, "I don't like it."
The entertainment industry is a murky place, and people can easily be led astray.
Perhaps it was seeing through the bitter smile on Gu Chengyuan's lips that made Shao Chongsi realize that Gu Chengyuan was like a caged bird, and his journey from the Gu family to the entertainment industry was merely him flying from one cage to another.
In fact, Gu Chengyuan is quite dedicated to his work in the entertainment industry. Apart from Chi Yining's three-year pursuit of him, he has zero scandals.
The lawsuit was only about the contract; I've never heard of this guy having any rumored girlfriends or boyfriends.
Shao Chongsi: "Haven't you made enough money now? You can leave the entertainment industry and do what you want to do."
Gu Chengyuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "I never even thought about it, nor dared I."
Shao Chongsi suspected that the reason this guy had recently become so depressed was that he didn't know what the meaning of life was: "Didn't you want to pursue Chi Yining? Isn't this what you wanted to do?"
Seeing Gu Chengyuan down the wine in one gulp, with wine dribbling from the corner of his mouth, he quickly looked away.
Gu Chengyuan: "I've slowly realized that I don't actually like Chi Yining; it's just a sudden feeling of unease... It's also my own despicable possessiveness, but I don't know how to apologize to him. I don't know how to make amends..."
Shao Chongsi: "..." How terrifying! This person actually came to his senses!
He glanced down at Gu Chengyuan's feet, and exclaimed, "Holy crap! When did this guy drink over a dozen cans?!"
No wonder he answers all questions honestly.
It seems I can ask Gu Chengyuan about his secret! Shao Chongsi coughed lightly: "By the way, your foot..."
Gu Chengyuan: "Huh? What did you say?"
Even though this guy is drunk and intoxicated, he's still diligently grilling skewers. Is he trying to be cute?
Shao Chongsi's lips curled up, his interest piqued again, and he immediately asked, "Among the guests on the show, who do you think is the most handsome?"
Gu Chengyuan: "Me!"
That's great. Shao Chongsi had already thought of that. As expected of Gu Chengyuan, he wouldn't be himself if he wasn't narcissistic.
"Who do you think has the longest legs in the production team?"
