Chapter 1 Return

22:00 pm on June 12, a certain year

Location H country famous performing arts company dance studio

"This is the end of the practice. Thank you for your hard work today!" Teacher Quan bowed slightly to everyone, clapped his hands to signal the end of get out of class.

Ten students standing in three rows bowed respectfully to the teacher, "Teacher, thank you for your hard work!" When bent down, they could see the beads of sweat dripping on the floor, surrounding their feet, spilling unevenly.

The others picked up their clothes and left the dance room one after another. Gu Chengjian sat down and massaged his calf as usual. Teacher Quan stood behind him and took a bottle of water and poured it on. Gu Chengjian's white short sleeves were wet with sweat behind him, and his hair dripped downwards in strands.

"Jane." After the others left the dance studio, Teacher Quan tightened the water, walked to Gu Chengjian, and handed him a piece of paper: "Jane, there were only ten of you who were selected from the two thousand trainees at the beginning, but there were only three people who signed the contract to debut in the company. Look at this contract."

Gu Chengjian looked up at Teacher Quan, and he couldn't see the teacher's expression against the light. He reached out to take the paper, and was a little surprised: "Show contract?"

Teacher Quan walked to the door and turned to look at him: "Jane, this performance is scheduled for next week. After the performance, you will be able to sign a contract and make your debut. You are my favorite student. Practice well and don't let me down." After that, the teacher looked up at the light on his head: "It's time to change this light. Jane, remember to turn it off when you leave."

Gu Chengjian held the contract in his hand tightly and sat on the ground motionless. The beads of sweat on his forehead suddenly flowed into his eyes, making him feel a scorching pain.

When he was twelve years old, his parents divorced. The court awarded Gu Chengjian to Gu Yu, but Gu Yu stayed in the company every day and was busy with social engagements. He only returned home after a few months. Gu Chengjian was the only one left in the huge villa. Samoyed, who was raised with his mother when he was a child, was taken away by his mother when he was away. Gu Chengjian couldn't understand why his mother would rather take a dog than take him away, but he didn't hate the dog at all. Gu Yu told him that his mother didn't want them anymore, so his mother left this home. At that time, Gu Chengjian

Jian always blames himself. He thinks that he must have done something wrong and asked his mother to leave. So after his mother left, he seemed to have grown up overnight. The naughty little boy who used to be suddenly became obedient and sensible, but he was too lonely and his only attachment to his father was completely unrecognizable by time. Gu Chengjian remembers that when he told his father that he was going abroad, Gu Yu was still talking about business with customers on the phone. Gu Chengjian repeated twice, "Dad, I'm going to go to H country." "Dad, I'm going to study dance in H country."

"Wait a minute, son. Hey, yes, that batch of products..." Gu Yu held his cell phone and refused to let go. The twelve-year-old Gu Chengjian drove his suitcase of about the same height as him to H Country by himself. For six years, Gu Chengjian has never taken the initiative to contact Gu Yu. Gu Yu would only call him during the holidays, and hurriedly remind him to have a good meal and not go back today. It's too busy. Gu Chengjian hung up the phone without saying a word. Sometimes he suspected that Gu Yu didn't know that he was in H Country, otherwise how could he be?

He said "I won't go back today." In the beginning of the month, he received a call from his aunt, saying that Gu Yu was sick and blamed him for not coming to the hospital to see his father. Gu Chengjian was silent for a long time and replied: "Auntie, I'm not in China now. How is my father doing? He was still fine when I left." There was a long time since the other end of the phone. When Gu Chengjian wanted to hang up the phone, he heard a sigh from the other end: "Oh, what a sin do you have done? Xiao Jian, come back as soon as possible. Your father still has many things to explain to you."

I have been away from home for six years and I have long lost my feelings for Gu Yu, but Gu Yu is his father after all, but after all, I have worked hard for so many years, and now I finally have the opportunity to realize my dream. Should I give up easily?

Gu Chengjian held the contract in his hand and a tear hanged in his eyes for a long time.

The next day, Gu Chengjian was practicing in the dance room. Teacher Quan suddenly called him out and asked him to go to the conference hall. Gu Chengjian saw something wrong with Teacher Quan's face, and guessed that it was not a good thing. As soon as he entered the conference hall, he saw the director talking to a man in a black suit. A Can, the director, stood next to him. When A Can saw Gu Chengjian standing at the door, he showed a helpless expression to him. The man followed A Can's strange expression. The director immediately said: "Representative, that is Gu Chengjian. Gu Chengjian, come here." He heard the three words "Gu Chengjian" from the translator.

At that time, the man suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to Gu Chengjian very respectfully, lowered his head and called "Young Master". Gu Chengjian looked at the person at least ten years older than him in front of him and asked in confusion: "Are you?" The director came over and said to Gu Chengjian: "Jane, your father wants to pick you up." A Can stood behind the director and pursed his lips, making a sad look. "Jane, you have a good chat." After saying that, the director nodded to the man and walked out of the conference hall. When A Can passed by Gu Chengjian, he whispered in Korean: "Jane, don't leave." Gu Cheng simply looked at the man with a serious expression.

"Young Master, I am Asheng, your father's secretary." The man in a black suit pulled open the chair beside him and asked Gu Chengjian to sit down.

"You mean Gu Yu?" Gu Chengjian pulled the chair on the other side of the conference table and sat down, "How do you know I'm here?"

"It's easy for us." The two sat opposite each other across the conference table.

"The chairman said that you are his only son and want you to go back with me." As he said that, Asheng took out an envelope from his suit jacket and handed it to Gu Chengjian, "This is a letter written by the chairman to you, and he told me to hand it to you in person."

Gu Chengjian hesitated and took the envelope, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and asked, "Is this my dad wrote it for me?"

"The chairman oral statement, I wrote it on behalf of him. Now the chairman... can't get a pen." Asheng lowered his head, "Young master, you can understand everything after reading the letter."

Gu Chengjian didn't continue asking. He tore open the envelope and pulled out a piece of folded paper with a dense page of words on it.

A Can leaned against the wall outside the conference room, and raised his watch from time to time to look at the time, "Why did you have to go in for so long? This daigua doesn't know if he can handle it alone. I really want to go in and take a look."

"No, otherwise I'll see how I deal with you." The director poked out a big head from somewhere, "Go, pour me a glass of water." Acan said coquettishly: "Director, aren't you afraid that Jian will really leave? He is the key training target of our company!"

"You know what's the matter! Pour the water!"

A Can came to this most famous entertainment company in H country with Gu Chengjian almost at the same time, but the difference is that A Can is not a trainee, but the son of the director. He has a completely different personality with Gu Chengjian. Who knows how they can get along so well, and it is just like a woman who comes from a womb.

After reading the full letter, Gu Chengjian frowned and raised his head to ask Asheng: "How is my dad?"

"Chairman, I'm looking forward to you going back every day." A Sheng's eyes were slightly red behind the lenses. "The chairman has already explained to this entertainment company that your debut can be postponed in the future, but don't worry, the chairman will not deprive you of your dreams."

"You have to know, I'm not worried about how the company is. My dad was devoted to expanding the company's career and lost my mother first, but in the end he was indifferent to me leaving."

"Young Master, the chairman has already told his lawyer that all the property and company ownership in his name have been transferred to you."

"I know, it's already said in the letter, but I don't care about the money."

"Young Master, the chairman has the only son. He talks about you all day long, and your return will be of great help to his recovery."

"Where is my mom, do she know that my dad is sick?" Gu Chengjian stared at the desktop.

Asheng turned his head elsewhere, "Madam, there has been no news in these years."

Gu Chengjian sneered in his heart. As expected, they were all heartless people.

"Young Master, the company's branch in H Country has an important meeting tonight. Your air ticket is scheduled for tomorrow morning, and this period will be convenient for you to handle affairs in H Country." After saying that, Asheng stood up and said goodbye to Gu Chengjian. Acan saw Gu Chengjian standing up to shake hands with him through the glass in the conference room, and pounding the glass urgently outside. Asheng walked out of the conference room and saw the translator competing with the glass, and still nodded and said goodbye to him very politely. Seeing the director coming over immediately, Acan curled his lips, "This should be the most touching time the old man smiled this year." Then he took out his cell phone neatly, "Such precious moment should be recorded."

"What are you doing, stinky boy? Translate it for me quickly!" The director was angry at A Can and smiled friendly at A Sheng.

As soon as Asheng's car started, Acan immediately turned around and rushed to the conference room. His father's voice came from behind him: "Boy." When he rushed to the conference room with panting, there was no sign of Gu Chengjian inside. "Is this stupid melon in the dormitory?" As expected, when Acan pushed the door and found that Gu Chengjian was sitting on the bed in a daze. Gu Chengjian's dormitory was always so clean. Acan, who was used to kicking away the messy shoes as soon as he entered his dormitory, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Jane, are you leaving?"

When Gu Chengjian heard someone coming in, he came back to his senses, "A Can."

Acan sat down next to Gu Chengjian, "Jane, I thought you wouldn't leave."

Gu Chengjian turned his head to look at A Can beside him, and then turned his head out the window, "A Can, you are my best friend."

"Since you are your best friend, are you going to leave?" Acan said sadly, "When I went to do a translator for my dad, I knew I couldn't keep you."

Gu Chengjian put his hand on A Can's shoulder, "A Can."

"See you at 8 o'clock tonight." Acan said and stood up, opened the door and left.

Watching A Can leave, Gu Chengjian lowered his head, "I'm sorry."

At 7:30 pm, Gu Chengjian sat in the viewing restaurant on the top of the mountain. This is Gu Chengjian’s favorite place. When he first came to the entertainment company, he met A Can. After spending a while together, A Can introduced his secret base to this foreign friend who was always taciturn. The two of them always came here as soon as they had time. The company stipulated that they were not allowed to drink. They were drunk here. Gu Chengjian’s alcohol tolerance was not as good as A Can, so the most drunk person every time he drank was A Can. When A Can was drunk, he always hugged Gu Cheng.

Jane's thighs didn't let go and shouted in a daze: "Jane! I'll marry you in the future!" Gu Chengjian laughed: "If that happens, the director will kill me." Then the two of them laughed non-stop. Every time the two of them slept until early in the morning, there would always be a faint blue mist floating outside the glass window. Gu Chengjian looked at A Can who was pillowing on his thighs. When he was sleeping, he looked like a bullied child curled up in a ball. With A Can by his side, Gu Chengjian felt at ease. Gu Chengjian grew up here, and this was his home. A Can was his relative.

The drizzle made the scenery outside the glass window blur. The weather forecast has been reporting that there might be rain in the past two days. Gu Chengjian picked up his cell phone and called A Can. Before he could dial out the phone, the bell at the door suddenly rang. Gu Chengjian saw A Can walking towards him and hung up the phone.

"Ah ice lemon juice!" A Can jumped to Gu Chengjian opposite Gu Chengjian and picked up a large cup of light green liquid in front of him and took a big mouthful. Then he took out an entrance ticket from his shirt pocket and handed it to Gu Chengjian: "This is a special show for master j.o.."

Gu Chengjian was stunned at first, then reached out to take the special guest coupon handed over by A Can, staring at the face of the coupon j.o. The master's dance silhouette was speechless for a while.j.o. The master is a well-known palace figure and will not easily provide guidance. However, all the students he has directed are among the best masters in the industry. Gu Chengjian has always dreamed of seeing the master's style personally, but the master's ticket is too difficult to get. Many senior brothers and sisters in the company who have already debuted do not have this opportunity, let alone the unknown Gu Chengjian.

Acan held a straw in his mouth and put his head on the glass window, looking out the misty city of S. City.

"Acan, thank you." Gu Chengjian put the coupon on the table and pushed it back to Acan.

Seeing Gu Chengjian send the coupon back, A Can's straw fell from his mouth into the cup, "Jane, why are you giving it to me again? This is j.o.! Haven't you always wanted to see him?"

Gu Chengjian looked at A Can and smiled and said, "A Can, go and see for me."

Acan held the ice lemon juice in his hand and looked down at the cup without saying a word.

Gu Chengjian put another piece of paper with his domestic address written on the special invitation coupon and said, "Good brother, I have a room in my house that belongs to you." After that, Gu Chengjian got up and walked out. A Can secretly looked up at him. Seeing Gu Chengjian coming to the door and looking at him, A Can quickly turned his head, and then A Can heard the sound of the bell dinging, and looked at the rain outside the window and said to himself: "Daigua, why don't you take the umbrella away? It's raining outside."

Teacher Quan did not show up when Gu Chengjian left. Among so many students he has taught, only Gu Chengjian is the most talented and hardworking. His Han Wu level has even surpassed him. Teacher Quan has taken him for six years. Seeing Gu Chengjian grow from a child to an adult, it was like when he was pregnant for ten months and finally saw results. The sudden loss made all hopes fail. It was a pity that he was not for himself, but for Gu Chengjian. When Acan sent Gu Chengjian to the airport, he held Gu Chengjian and threatened in his ear: "Clean up my room more beautifully, otherwise you will know the consequences. If you hold this blindfold, you always don't like this." Gu Chengjian had the urge to cry for an instant.

The plane slowly stabilized. Gu Chengjian watched the city of S, which he had lived for six years, gradually shrink into a black dot on the ground, then reluctantly retracted his head, pulled down his blindfold from his head, and stayed motionless in the seat as if he was asleep.

Ye Kean led a little golden retriever and looked up and saw the plane flashing in the sky. He sighed: "This flight is really busy, isn't it?" She squatted down and untied the chain of the little golden retriever, rubbed the hair on the little guy's body. The little golden retriever shook his tail and barked at her, and then rushed into the grass in the park like a joyful look. "I'll have to come back in a while!" Ye Kean shouted into the grass that moved.
