Chapter 80 Don’t be in a cold, narrow, dark building…

A man was standing in the narrow and dim corridor. A disc-sized sensor light cast a circle of soft moon-like light, outlining the man's tall body.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, baby~"

Gu Xingjue raised the two gift boxes in his hands and waved them toward Chen Song. A lazy, casual smile graced his flushed face. His half-lidded eyes blurred slightly, and he blinked slowly for a moment. Fragile starlight streamed through his backlit, deep, deep eyes. His chest rose and fell gently with his heavier breathing, and the outline of his muscular body was faintly visible against his rain-soaked white shirt.

It was like a time-traveling machine, transporting the two back to that thrilling night. A moment of trance made Chen Song forget everything that had happened between them. It felt like just another ordinary night, but Gu Mo had come to see him with a surprise.

The air is filled with the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn is charming, and it is even more fragrant after being brewed into wine.

Chen Song's heartbeat was getting louder and louder, but he still hadn't reacted. Perhaps the strong aroma of osmanthus wine in the air had intoxicated him, so he just stupidly said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Gu Xingjue's smile widened, revealing a row of white teeth. He looked cheerful. Chen Song rarely saw him smile like that, and he stared at him, mesmerized. He had to admit, Gu Xingjue's looks were truly impeccable, perfectly suiting his aesthetic.

Chen Song's first glance was actually height, followed by proportions and aura, and finally, face. If height was acceptable, the other two criteria could be slightly lowered. But when Gu Xingjue appeared, he met all three criteria, instantly drawing attention.

The air suddenly felt a bit hot. Chen Song had just woken up from a sweat, and now it was even hotter. He suddenly woke up and asked, "Why are you here?"

Suddenly there was a burst of thunder outside the house, and the thunderstorm started again.

Gu Xingjue took a step forward and stood close to Chen Song, looking down at him: "I missed you... I've missed you for a long time."

"I want to spend every holiday with you. When everyone is reunited, I also want to be with the person I love most in the world, eating a reunion dinner, watching the moon and fireworks, falling asleep in each other's arms, and waiting for the next beautiful morning."

"Baby." Gu Xingjue lowered his head and called him softly and lovingly. His hot breath sprinkled on Chen Song's skin. Chen Song couldn't help but blink his eyelids, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he forgot to breathe.

Gu Xingjue's teasing is stronger than the sweet-scented osmanthus wine. It is really irresistible and makes people feel emotional. He has always been the best at saying sweet words.

"What kind of mooncakes do you want? I bought you all kinds of flavors. There's also a box that my partners gave me at the wine party today. They all said it was delicious, so I saved it and brought it to you. Every time I eat something delicious, I want to bring it to you. But I don't have the courage. I'm afraid you'll see me and get angry. So I took pictures to show you, but you ignored me."

"You're...ignoring me." His voice grew softer and softer. The two of them were so close that Chen Song could almost see the tears welling up in his eyes, illuminating his red eyes.

There was a strong sense of bitter grievance in the tone, which immediately touched Chen Song's heart.

Chen Song couldn't bear to confront him, so he turned his head away, but this action made his sensitive ears completely exposed to Gu Xingjue's dangerous and burning breath.

Soon the white and tender ears turned pink.

"You're drunk." Chen Song's Adam's apple moved slightly as he said dryly, "Go back quickly. You knew I'd be angry, yet you still come here and act crazy."

After Chen Song finished speaking, another muffled thunder roared outside the house.

Gu Xingjue let go of the gift boxes, and they fell to the ground. Gu Xingjue put his arms around Chen Song's waist, pulled him into his arms, and rocked him gently: "Then how can you not be angry, huh? My dear baby, how can you not be angry? You tell me, I've done everything. When you're angry, you always keep it in your heart and don't tell me. You also don't tell me what I should do to forgive me. You always push me far, far away, even into outer space. My heart is broken, and the pieces are more numerous than the stars in the sky. But I dare not say it, because... you have been shattered by me too."

"I'm even more afraid to leave. I'm afraid that if I leave, you'll be alone again. I'll be heartbroken. You're alone, and I'm alone too. If we leave together, won't it be less painful?"

Gu Xingjue's voice choked, a tear silently falling from the corner of his eye. Chen Song felt his heart beating powerfully, and for a moment he couldn't tell if it was his own or the heart beneath his chest, so tightly pressed against his. The strong, powerful arm was burning hot. Chen Song was wearing only a thin layer of pajamas, but the heat numbed his waist, softening it.

Chen Song took a deep breath and said slowly, "Don't worry, I won't be alone. I can find someone else. It can be anyone, but it definitely won't be you. In short, I won't be alone, so you don't need to worry about me."

"Gu Xingjue, I've really told you this many times. I'm exhausted. Why don't you understand?"

Gu Xingjue's hand on Chen Song's waist loosened, his forearm tensing for a moment. The sensor light behind him went out after a long silence. In the darkness, Chen Song heard a sour and hoarse voice emanating from Gu Xingjue's throat:

"You... mean you will find someone new?" He asked cautiously, his tense nerves and stiff body, as if he was accepting the judgment of the coming of death.

The sensor light came on again. Chen Song didn't look at him. He said coldly, his expression unchanged, "Yeah."

Gu Xingjue opened his mouth but said nothing. He hurriedly let go of Chen Song's hands from his waist, then paused reluctantly before taking them back.

"Ah, yes, that's right." Gu Xingjue's body was as stiff as a robot. After turning twice, he walked down the stairs. "Okay, then, you have a good rest. I, I'll leave first."

Chen Song watched him stumble down the stairs and wanted to go up to stop him, but in the end he didn't do it. Chen Song lived on a low floor, and although there was an elevator, it was still okay to walk down like this.

After Gu Xingjue disappeared around the corner, Chen Song held the door handle and closed the door. When the door was about to close, there was a sudden noise, and the corridor shook several times with a bang.

Chen Songxin pushed the door open and ran down: "Gu Xingjue!"

When he ran to the corner, Gu Xingjue was sitting up from the ground with his head in his hands, grimacing. When he heard Chen Song's voice, he raised his eyes and looked at him, then burst into tears.

Chen Song thought he was crying in pain, so he quickly ran over to him and squatted down to check his injuries: "Where does it hurt? Tell me, where did you fall?"

Gu Xingjue remained silent, staring at him with his eyes wide open as he sobbed and his shoulders shook, looking incredibly pitiful. Chen Song frowned in frustration, regretting for a moment why he hadn't stopped him.

Chen Song lifted Gu Xingjue's shirt out of his pants. There were several bruises on his waist. When he lifted his shirt up, Chen Song suddenly stiffened. The rugged skin corroded by the concentrated acid was clearly visible in his eyes under the light.

Gu Xingjue noticed it and quickly pulled down his clothes, wiped his tears and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm not hurt."

Chen Song's eyes immediately turned red, his brows knitted together, and he said in a hoarse voice, "How can it not hurt? Are you stupid? If it hurts, then it hurts. Why do you keep saying it doesn't hurt? How can it not hurt? You're not a robot, you're made of flesh and blood, how can it not hurt?"

"Why are you drinking? Why are you walking so carelessly? Why are you looking for me? Why don't you stay in your own city? Why are you helping me with so many irrelevant things? You are always so willful. You do whatever you want. You keep saying that you won't bother me anymore, but there are traces of you everywhere in my life. What on earth do you want to do, Gu Xingjue?"

Gu Xingjue was shocked by the shouting. His heart felt like it had been crushed and trampled on the ground. His throat felt like it was filled with ice and he couldn't speak. But the grievances he had been enduring for so long were about to explode.

Just as Chen Song had said, he wasn't a robot, he was a living, breathing person. No matter how patient he was, no matter how strong his mentality, he couldn't handle the constant, unrelenting rejection. Every word Chen Song uttered felt like a slap in the face. His dignity was crushed, his confidence trampled upon, and his pent-up emotions, like an inflated ball, exploded in an instant, fueled by the alcohol.

He burst into tears, crying until he was out of breath and his whole body was numb.

Chen Song was shocked by Gu Xingjue's sudden collapse, and he suppressed the soft thoughts in his heart.

It's going to end tonight, that's it, don't change it.

"Gu Xingjue, there's no use crying. Crying can't change anything." Chen Song stood up with his fists clenched. The moment he turned around and raised his leg, the leg was suddenly entangled.

Gu Xingjue clung to Chen Song's thighs tightly and refused to let go: "No. I don't want you to leave! Honey! Honey, please don't leave me!"

"Could you not... not look for someone else..."

"I, I really have changed! Don't be angry, I am in pain, I am in pain. I am not a robot, please don't abandon me. My heart hurts, my heart hurts! No matter what I do, my wife always treats me with a cold face, and it hurts me to death."

"Could you please stop being so cold to me, wife!"

“…”

Chen Song looked at Gu Xingjue in disbelief, his heart deeply shaken. What was he doing?

Gu Xingjue must have been drunk and crazy to throw a tantrum at him in such a disrespectful manner.

Chen Song pulled his legs apart, and Gu Xingjue held him tighter. "Let go, you're crazy. You'd better lose your memory when you sober up tomorrow. Shame on you, Gu Xingjue."

"No, no, no!" Gu Xingjue closed his eyes and clung to Chen Song's thighs. "You ran away as soon as I let go! Don't leave me, honey! I, I'm very obedient. In the past, I didn't keep the male ethics. But after I met you, I never made love with anyone else! Since the first time I made love with you, I only made love with you! I, I didn't mess around. Even if you don't want me, I still keep the male ethics! I just want to do it with you, but you're angry, so I keep holding it back. I'm almost becoming frigid."

Chen Song's face flushed red. "What are you talking about?! Your mind is full of these disgusting things!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, sob sob sob." Gu Xingjue was sobbing that he couldn't breathe, and his words were broken. "You are always so mean to me. So mean. Why are you so mean? I've been behaving well and always wearing the ring on my finger. No one dares to bother me. If anyone comes, I'll beat him away! I don't even dare to wear the ring when I see you. I'm afraid you'll throw it away and break it."

"Last time I picked it up, it was so tattered that I couldn't wear it anymore, so I found that shop and had it repaired. But I'm clumsy and I can't make it look good after I repair it..." He said and burst into tears again in frustration.

"So, my dear, could you please stop being so cold to me and smile at me once in a while? Okay? Honey—wuwuwuwuwuwu"

So...did he repair the ring himself? By chance, this pair of rings turned out to be a pair they had created together, but time and space were intertwined.

Chen Song's heart stagnated and he wanted to escape stiffly. He couldn't handle it, he couldn't handle Gu Xingjue like this. The rationality he had maintained was about to collapse.

He moved his feet stiffly and tried to leave, but Gu Xingjue hugged him even tighter, so tight that Chen Song's bones ached.

"Let go of Gu Xingjue. You are being very naughty now."

"No! No!" Gu Xingjue's tears and snot were streaming. He no longer looked like a dignified CEO. In Chen Song's eyes, he looked just like a growling husky who didn't want his owner to go to work. "My dear wife, I'll be a good wife as long as you don't leave!"

"Don't leave me, my wife, wuwuwuwu! Wife~~~~"

With a bang, the door next to him suddenly broke open, followed by a burst of female voices cursing: "Fuck you, can't you let me sleep? Which idiot keeps yelling! Yelling for your mother? All you can do is pretend to be pitiful. Fuck! All you can do is call me wife. Do you have a fucking brain..."

After seeing the person in front of her clearly, the woman shuddered all over, her hair stood on end, and her face turned red and warm in an instant.

"Dr. Chen." Wu Xuan gave an awkward, unnatural smile. "Gugugugu, Mr. Gu...hahahaha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha."

"Wife, who is she? Why is she scolding me? Wife, look at her! She scolded me... She bullied me, wife! I can only be bullied by my wife." Gu Xingjue hugged Chen Song tightly with one hand and pointed at Wu Xuan with the other hand to tell Chen Song about it.

"Sorry to bother you." Wu Xuan closed the door at the speed of light.

Chen Song: “…”

"Gu Xingjue, you are really embarrassed now."
