Chapter 190 Extra 2 (9)

Extra 2 (9)

"Hey!" Jiang Nuo stood up and tried to chase him, grabbing Gu Jiangkuo's arm, "That's for me! Why did you confiscate it?" He hadn't even seen it himself!

This must be the first love letter he's ever received, right? —Not counting the yearbook signed by the girls when he graduated from elementary school.

But Gu Jiangkuo had a very good reason: "How old are you? You are so bold to have a premature love affair. If you don't let me confiscate it, tell Aunt Jiang!"

Jiang Nuo: “!”

I never expected that Gu Jiangkuo, who exudes the aura of a "bad boy," would actually use "telling on others" to threaten others! Isn't he ashamed?

Gu Jiangkuo obviously didn't feel embarrassed. He broke away from the speechless Nuozai and waved the love letter in his hand. He really deserved a beating.

The smug look on his face didn't last long. When he returned to his seat, his face suddenly darkened. Hearing the bell for class, he couldn't wait to tear open the envelope roughly.

And she even sprayed perfume! Pah! Let him see which little girl is so boring.

After a quick scan, he found no signature. His deskmate, Old Xie, also peeked in, "What is that? Wow, you're quite bold, so corny. Brother Gu, which girl wrote you a love letter? That's not right. The handwriting looks like a boy's. It's square and powerful."

Before Gu Jiangkuo could even utter the words "Get lost," the teacher hurled a piece of chalk at him. "Xie Jinxin! Gu Jiangkuo! What are you two looking at? You seem so engrossed in your conversation!"

As she said this, the teacher walked down from the podium in her high heels.

Jiang Nuo suspected that they were reading her "love letter" and turned her head away nervously. However, before the teacher had even left, Gu Jiangkuo had already taken out a novel and handed it to her.

The English teacher glanced at the novel cover and was furious: "You two, go stand in the back! I will definitely give this book to your homeroom teacher!"

Jiang Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, but happened to meet Gu Jiangkuo's soothing eyes, and... Xie Jinxin's shocked and hopeless expression.

Jiang Nuo didn't know what books were confiscated from them, but he had a strong premonition: what they were reading were definitely not novels, but 100% their love letters.

Does this count as "I'd rather die than let my friend die"? It's quite a show of loyalty.

Nuozai was so immersed in the joy of escaping a disaster that he forgot that the love letter was originally snatched away by Gu Jiangkuo.

.

After school that day, Gu Jiangkuo's parents were called in as expected. It was Gu's family driver's turn to pick him up today, and Jiang Nuo, who went to school with him every day, was forced to wait outside the office.

The whispers in the teacher's office never stopped, and there was even the roar of Gu's father, occasionally mixed with the sound of tables being slammed and chairs being kicked, which made Jiang Nuo nervous.

What the hell is going on?!

Uncle Gu never gets so angry. The last time Gu Jiangkuo was beaten was when he was seven or eight years old. What kind of extracurricular book could make him so angry?

Just when Jiang Nuo was feeling anxious, the office door finally opened. Teacher Liu, the head teacher, had lost her earlier anger and instead kept persuading Gu Min, "Gu Jiangkuo's father, please don't be impulsive and don't punish the child. If you have something to say, talk it over. It's normal for children of this age to be rebellious. You need to control your emotions and talk to him properly."

"Okay, thank you, teacher. For your sake, I will control myself." Although Uncle Gu said this, he didn't seem to be restraining himself at all. He kicked Gu Jiangkuo's calf and said, "Hurry up and thank the teacher!"

Gu Jiangkuo did as he was told with a shy look on his face, but his attitude was sincere.

Uncle Gu hadn't forgotten Nuozai who was waiting at the door. "Let's go home!"

Jiang Nuo didn't dare to ask a single question, and followed with his tail between his legs, but he was secretly thinking about whether he should talk to Aunt Gu and ask her to plead for mercy - Aunt Gu was still easy to talk to - it was a pity that he didn't have a mobile phone yet, and he really should ask his parents for one, otherwise it would be too inconvenient!

I was nervous all the way until I got on the bus.

Gu Min suddenly smiled and asked, "Nuonuo, I didn't scare you just now, did I?"

"?"

Uncle Gu's attitude changed so quickly!

Jiang Nuo was a little confused by the question, "Ah, no." He looked at Gu Jiangkuo who was trying not to laugh beside him, with a bewildered look on his face, "What's going on?"

Mr. Gu started the car, casually gripped the steering wheel, tilted his head, and said, "The teacher is so angry. As a parent, I must follow suit, otherwise I will feel bad."

Jiang Nuo: “?”

Jiang Nuo: "So you are acting?"

"Yeah." Gu Min said, "I thought it was something else. I was worried that Dajiang would lose face, so I turned down my job and replaced the driver, driving myself. Now that you're here, uncle will take you out for dinner and we can have a man-to-man talk. After all, you've all grown up."

Jiang Nuo was still confused, but Gu Jiangkuo finally became nervous: "Dad! That book is really not mine, it belongs to my deskmate."

"Then why did you take the blame for him?" Gu Min asked.

Gu Jiangkuo naturally couldn't say it because the English teacher was about to come over and he had to hide Nuonuo's love letter, so he took out his deskmate's collection in a hurry.

"Because Old Xie's father is not as open-minded as you, he will beat him to death." Gu Jiangkuo flattered.

Uncle Gu was very flattered by this flattery, "Really?"

Although Jiang Nuo didn't understand the situation, he continued filming naturally: "Of course, I've never seen parents as good as you and Aunt Gu. You are so fashionable and open-minded, with advanced thinking. There is no generation gap between us and you. You are indeed high-level intellectuals."

Uncle Gu was so amused that he couldn't stop smiling: "You two little brats, you just know how to fool me! I'll take you out for a good meal tonight, let's go to that buffet that costs 1,000 yuan per person."

Jiang Nuo said "Yeah" out of courtesy.

Gu Min asked again: "I am teaching you a lesson, but you are reading alone and get lost. What if you go astray?"

Gu Jiangkuo was anxious: "No need! I already told you that it's Xie Jinxin's book, we won't read it. I don't need to attend any classes, and Nuonuo is still young."

"Alright, alright, since you're so easily shy, I won't force you." Uncle Gu said regretfully, "Whenever you want to have a proper chat with a mature man, you two little bastards can come find me anytime."

Student Gu Jiangkuo: “Yeah.”

Nuozai was confused and said, "...Oh."

.

Mr. Gu took the two young boys out for a big meal and didn't get home until nearly eight o'clock.

As soon as they got home, they were rushed to do their homework. After closing the door of the study, Jiang Nuo finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of book is this?"

Gu Jiangkuo's ears turned red for some unknown reason: "Nothing, don't ask."

However, the more he refused to speak, the more curious Nuozai became. After several attempts to ask him without success, he simply said, "Then I'll go ask Xie Jinxin tomorrow!"

Gu Jiangkuo: “…………”

Gu Jiangkuo's ears turned even redder, and he said "fuck" softly, "Just the pornographic book."

Jiang Nuo: "What?"

Looking at Nuozai's big, innocent eyes, Gu Jiangkuo felt even more embarrassed. "Don't you understand? It's the kind of book that only adults can read. It has intimate descriptions."

There weren't so many taboos in the publishing industry back then, unlike now, when a vast number of topics cannot be published. This novel actually had a regular publishing house.

Jiang Nuo was just slow to catch on, a bit naive, but not stupid. After being hinted at to this extent, what else could he not understand? His face also felt a little hot.

A boy of thirteen or fourteen is at his most ignorant age, transforming from youthfulness to ignorance. He is both shy and curious about unknown things.

Fortunately, the childhood friend next to him was very familiar. They had developed a revolutionary friendship since they were in diapers, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Jiang Nuo quickly overcame his shyness and pestered Gu Jiangkuo, asking sweetly, "Brother Dajiang, where are the books?"

Hearing Nuozai call him so sweetly, Gu Jiangkuo instinctively became nervous and said vigilantly, "It was confiscated."

"Then you know what it's called, right?" Jiang Nuo pressed on. "Brother, buy me another one."

Gu Jiangkuo: "...No. I just promised my dad not to look. How embarrassing would it be if he found out again?"

"I promise to be quiet! We won't be discovered!" Jiang Nuo said, "Brother Dajiang, dear brother, please! I haven't seen it yet! You watched it secretly by yourself without bringing me along. How can you be a brother like this?"

Nuozi kept calling Gu Dajiang "brother", which made him unable to resist. After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'll go look for him later."

"Thank you, brother!"

This "brother" had at least four "+"s, and the sweetness was seriously over the limit. Gu Jiangkuo felt that his blood tank was about to run out. He pushed Nuozai's face away without much force and said, "Speak properly!"

Jiang Nuo frowned and said disdainfully, "Did you sand your palms? They're so rough, they're almost scraping off a layer of skin."

"..." Gu Jiangkuo looked at his palms and saw a thin layer of calluses. This was caused by his Sanda training. There was nothing he could do because his coach always asked him to do strength training.

However, Gu Jiangkuo twisted his palm and thought curiously: Nuonuo's face is so tender, I never noticed it before!

.

Because of the episode in "Pornographic Book", Jiang Nuo had completely forgotten about the "love letter". After finishing his homework, he washed up, lay down, and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Jiangkuo was a step late. He waited until Nuozai fell asleep before he took out the love letter stealthily and studied it carefully. There was no signature on it, only a phone number left, which made it quite mysterious.

Just as Old Xie said, it doesn't sound like a girl's handwriting. But there's no way to tell the gender of a person based on handwriting alone. Who says a girl's handwriting can't be pierced through? And why would a boy write a love letter to Nuozi? It doesn't make sense!

In short, no matter how tall, short, fat or thin the author of this love letter is, she is a slutty bitch and must not be let know about it!

When Gu Jiangkuo thought about Nuozai falling in love with someone else, he felt sour all over and raised his hand to tear up the crappy love letter, but before he did so, he inexplicably wrote down the phone number.

.

Not long after, Gu Jiangkuo really kept his promise and brought back a brand new copy of the same book. Nuozai was so excited, but he was too timid to read it at home, fearing that his mother Jiang would find out. So he ran around anxiously holding the book, not knowing where to hide it.

Gu Jiangkuo was so adorable by his timid yet curious appearance that he said generously, "Call me brother and I'll help you hide."

The simple-minded boy has no psychological burden in calling "brother" and calls "brother brother" to the point of almost disturbing others.

"Alright, alright!" Gu Jiangkuo rubbed his temples. "I've thought of a good place. I'll help you hide it, and then we can watch it secretly together tonight."

Can we watch something like this together? Wouldn't it be awkward?

Nuozai was a little reluctant, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute. He always felt that if he told the truth, he would appear a little hypocritical and would let down his brother Dajiang's kindness - after all, the books were bought secretly by him under pressure.

So, on Friday night, Gu Jiangkuo lifted the bed board, dug out the banned book from under the box-like bed, and said solemnly, "Shall we begin?"

Nuozai also nodded expectantly and nervously: "Yeah!"

The reason why the two chose Friday night was so that they didn't have to get up early on Saturday, and they had enough time to open the door to a new world, watch all night, and study it carefully.

After all, he was "guilty as a thief". Although he knew that the parents would not come in without knocking, he still turned off the lights to create the illusion that he was asleep.

In the darkness, Gu Jiangkuo took out an old emergency flashlight from somewhere. The two of them put their heads together, shoulders together, covered with quilts, and opened the pornographic book that was said to be very exciting.

pity……

Seeing the explosive content on the first page, Dajiang and Nuozai frowned.

After reading the first ten pages, the two boys gradually became expressionless.

After reading the 30th page, Jiang Nuo suggested quietly, "How about skipping ahead?"

Gu Jiangkuo: "Okay!"

As a result, after skipping through the entire book, Gu Jiangkuo felt nothing inside, and Jiang Nuo said disappointedly, "That's it? Why do I feel it's meaningless?"

In fact, Gu Jiangkuo also found it boring. The book kept describing how delicate and soft the heroine's body was, but he couldn't resonate with it at all. He really didn't understand why all the male protagonists in the book were so attracted to her.

Could it be that he's too young to understand this thing? But why is Old Xie watching it with such gusto? He even told him that he had to watch it in a private place, like under the covers, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he had a reaction.

How come he doesn't feel anything at all?

Honestly, how great could a charming heroine or a stunning beauty be? Could they be as pretty as Nuo Nuo? He simply couldn't get it! ... Could it be that he's just not mature enough to understand?

But Gu Dajiang was unwilling to admit that he didn't understand, and said pretentiously: "This is how things between men and women are. You are still young and don't understand."

Jiang Nuo was puzzled: "Do you understand?"

Gu Jiangkuo: "I am half a year older than you, so of course I am more mature than you."

"..." Jiang Nuo said with little interest, "Okay, are you still watching?"

Gu Jiangkuo immediately said: "No more watching, let's go to sleep."

As usual, Nuozai wrapped himself in a quilt like a silkworm, yawned, and said softly, "Good night." He had completely lost interest in the so-called "pornographic books". They were boring and not as interesting as hot-blooded anime.

Gu Jiangkuo put away the flashlight and hid the book under his pillow. "Good night."

He decided to destroy that boring old book early tomorrow morning so there was no need to hide it under the bed again.

However, that night, Gu Jiangkuo had an unusual dream. All the passages described in the book, which he despised, reappeared in his dream.

The man in the dream has the same identity as the male villain in the book who is crazy about the heroine. He is determined to get the person he loves and will stop at nothing to get her.

Finally, he tied his sweetheart to his side and held her in his arms. When the battle was in full swing, he found that his sweetheart was wearing a Snow White dress, and her face, which had been blurry, gradually became clear.

Delicate and fair, who else could it be but Nuonuo?

Gu Jiangkuo was quite frightened. He opened his eyes suddenly and felt the quilt was wet. He was holding Nuozai, who had fallen asleep at some point.

Jiang Nuo had a sleep problem. Before bed, he was perfectly well-behaved, wrapping himself up like a silkworm, but once asleep, he couldn't help but gravitate towards warm places. He didn't exercise much and was a bit cold-sensitive, while Gu Jiangkuo, a teenage boy with athletic prowess, was practically a human hot water bottle.

The weather has turned cold recently, but the heating has not come on yet. Nuozai felt that his hot water bottle seemed to be about to run away, so he reluctantly rubbed it over again, but ended up empty-handed again.

He fought again and again, almost rolling to the edge of the bed, and finally woke up because of his own torture.

He reached out his hand in a daze, but didn't touch Gu Jiangkuo. He opened his eyes, but only saw a tall figure standing vaguely in the darkness.

Jiang Nuo: “?”

Jiang Nuo: "Why aren't you sleeping so late at night? Why are you standing at the head of the bed?"

Fortunately, in the darkness, Jiang Nuo couldn't see Gu Jiangkuo's flushed face. Gu Jiangkuo felt like he was about to burn, shocked, embarrassed, and guilty.

How could he have a dream like that?! That was Nuonuo! How could he… not even in a dream!

Gu Jiangkuo's mind was in a mess. He wanted to find an excuse to get up at night, but he heard Jiang Nuo say in confusion: "Why is the bed wet? My legs are wet too."

Gu Jiangkuo was struck by lightning and almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. In a moment of urgency, he blurted out, "You wet the bed!"

Jiang Nuo: “??!”

After realizing what he had said, Gu Jiangkuo was also a little confused. His mouth had just been faster than his brain. What should he do now? This lie was too clumsy. Nuozi would definitely not believe it!

However, Nuozai, who was half asleep, believed it about 70% on the spot.

He seemed to really dream of looking for a toilet. I heard that if you dream of looking for a toilet, you will most likely wet the bed.

There was an awkward silence, and Jiang Nuo whispered, "Brother, don't tell anyone about this."

He no longer dares to drink water before going to bed QAQ

But why do I still feel like going to the bathroom? Maybe I didn't finish peeing in my dream?

.

That night, Gu Jiangkuo quietly washed the sheets all night long.

He tried to calm himself down by the mechanical motion of hand washing, wondering why he had such a strange dream. In the end, he couldn't come up with any sensible conclusion, so he could only blame it on the novel—it definitely had nothing to do with Nuonuo. No matter how good-looking he was, he was still a boy! How could that be possible?

Gu Jiangkuo convinced himself and quietly disposed of the tattered little book that evening. As daylight approached, he cautiously settled on the edge of his bed, closing his eyes and pondering how he could quietly ask his parents for another bed. While he would have loved to continue sharing the same bed with Nuozai, as they had done when they were little, Gu Dajiang was vaguely aware of a potential danger: if this continued, something bad might happen.

He had no idea what had happened, but he just felt uneasy.

.

Perhaps because there was no response, the destroyed love letter was left unresolved and there was no follow-up.

That was the only love letter Nuozai received in the entire first year of junior high school.

However, Jiang Nuo's slow growth suddenly increased rapidly during the summer vacation, making a qualitative leap, soaring from 165+ to the beginning of 17.

According to authoritative statistics, this has exceeded the national average male height of 169cm.

As a result, the two children really could no longer sleep in the two small double beds. The Jiang family generously reserved an extra guest room for Gu Jiangkuo, and the Gu family, at the strong suggestion of Gu Dajiang himself, added a single bed in the same bedroom.

However, the remaining space in the bedroom was limited, and it was impossible to create a corridor between the two beds like in a standard hotel room, otherwise the door of the wardrobe would not be able to be opened.

"Why don't we throw away that double bed and just replace it with two single beds?" Mrs. Gu said worriedly, "It's too ugly now that they're seamlessly put together."

Gu Jiangkuo also thought that switching to a single bed would be better for the two of them, but he still felt it was inappropriate: "Nuonuo tends to roll over easily when sleeping, and a single bed is so narrow, what if she falls off?"

Although Mother Gu thought the design was too ugly, she still respected them and said, "Then you two can discuss it among yourselves."

As a result, Jiang Nuo thought this big bed, which looked like a Northeastern kang, was quite cool, so he jumped on it and rolled around that day.

.

The whole family was very happy about Nuozai's growth, especially Mother Jiang. She thought it must be because she followed the doctor's advice and insisted on giving her son hot milk every day. So she became more and more superstitious about milk. Even when Jiang Nuo went to live at Gu's house, she would repeatedly remind her best friend Mother Gu not to forget to give Nuozai milk.

It made Jiang Nuo feel like he smelled like milk and not masculine at all.

However, in the eyes of others, especially some female classmates, the milky-smelling Nianzai finally seemed to be "mature".

The posts on Tieba about the "handsome guy in our school" finally stopped using the word "cute" to describe him.

In particular, a photo taken secretly outside the basketball court has gone viral: Jiang Nuo, who has started to grow taller, is tall and slender, with the thinness typical of his age, black hair and fair skin, a hint of bookishness, delicate features, and an indifferent expression. He stands quietly outside the basketball court, letting the camphor tree leave mottled and brilliant light and shadow on his body, forming a sharp contrast with the sweaty boys in the basketball court, like a melancholy and beautiful boy walking out of a comic book.

"Melancholy?" Nuozai himself showed a puzzled expression and pushed his phone—Jiang Nuo, a sophomore classmate, had finally persuaded his mother to slightly relax her 'no electronic gadgets' ban and got his first phone—into Gu Jiangkuo's face. "How did they know I was melancholy? I was clearly getting a little impatient waiting for you that day, so I had a sour face."

"Ah? Really?"

As Nuozai came closer, Gu Jiangkuo smelled a faint scent of milk.

These days, Jiang Nuo is almost marinated in pure milk.

But Gu Jiangkuo thought it smelled good. The fresh shampoo on his body smelled good, the milk smelled good, and even the slight smell of sweat after physical education class smelled good.

Gu Jiangkuo even despised himself for being a pervert, but as they grew up day by day, this feeling of "liking all of Nuozai's characteristics" became more and more intense, and he couldn't control it!

"Of course, I don't know who took the photo secretly, and they used random text and over-interpretation." Jiang Nuo complained, "Isn't this an infringement of my portrait rights?"

"Really? Let me see?" Gu Jiangkuo said while trying to do two things at once.

"Here." Jiang Nuo waited for Gu Jiangkuo's shared hatred for the enemy. After taking it and waiting for a long time, he heard his brother Dajiang say seriously: "It's quite beautiful."
