Chapter 193 Extra 2 (12)

Extra 2 (12)

Since the evening self-study class, Gu Jiangkuo has been hesitant to speak, and his eyes have never left his deskmate for almost the entire class.

Jiang Nuo felt the other person's scorching gaze, and her inner confidence deepened a few points, but she ignored him and kept reading and doing the exercises without looking away, as if she didn't notice anything unusual about her deskmate and childhood sweetheart.

Gu Jiangkuo said nothing, but it seemed as if there was a war drum hidden in his chest. The rumbling sound made his heart tremble and he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

The boy in school uniform next to him has very delicate and fair skin and thick and long eyelashes. For boys of this age, "handsome" usually means being clean, well-dressed, and youthful. But Jiang Nuo is different. He has a truly exquisite and handsome appearance that makes people amazed at first sight. Ever since he started wearing open-crotch pants, Gu Jiangkuo has been looking at him every day and he still never gets tired of it.

While admiring his deskmate's face, Gu Dajiang secretly felt nervous and excited:

What does "Nuonuo" even mean? Why would I see a post like that? It was posted last year, and the last reply was also last year. Logically, if I was just browsing, I wouldn't have seen it!

Was it a deliberate search?

If you search their names as keywords, you can find them.

Why is Nuonuo searching for this? What does he think when he sees this 'matchmaking' post?

Jiang Nuo ignored him the whole time, and Gu Jiangkuo didn't dare to ask.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to end the get out of class.

Without waiting for the teacher in charge of the self-study class to announce the end of school, the bell rang and the classroom was filled with the sound of people packing their schoolbags. Gu Jiangkuo also buried his head in packing, and after Jiang Nuo finished packing, he naturally slung his schoolbag over his shoulders as well - he had been used to carrying Jiang Nuo's schoolbag for the past few years.

"Brother Gu, so considerate! What a good man!"

The students at the back table started teasing as usual. Because they had a good relationship, Gu Jiangkuo and Jiang Nuo never minded. The boys didn't just make jokes about them being a couple. Some boys would even hug each other and act gay on purpose to make the girls happy.

But this time, Gu Jiangkuo felt inexplicably guilty and cursed, "Get lost."

The boy who was joking was not angry. He laughed and said that he would not disturb the couple, as if he did not take it seriously.

Gu Jiangkuo went to peek at Jiang Nuo's face and found that he looked normal, as if no different from usual. He couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

What on earth was Nuonuo thinking? Did she misunderstand?

Gu's father and mother had social engagements tonight and were not at home. Only two aunts were left at home. The two of them had already eaten at school and did not need them, so no one disturbed them the whole night.

The time and place are right, Jiang Nuo thought with satisfaction.

As for "harmony among people", Jiang Nuo glanced at his big childhood sweetheart and felt that there should be no problem and the success rate was over 90%.

"Do the homework first, then discuss the questions?" Jiang Nuo suggested.

"Okay." Gu Jiangkuo naturally had no objection.

Jiang Nuo: "Then hurry up. I need to set aside more time tonight... to study physics."

"good."

Jiang Nuo was able to concentrate and write as if possessed by god, but unfortunately Gu Jiangkuo could not concentrate. He could not help but wonder what Nuo Nuo meant and why she was reading that post. Sometimes he felt that his judgment was correct, and sometimes he felt that he was being too sentimental. The other person was just taking a casual look, so what could he think?

However, Nuonuo hasn't had a girlfriend in all these years - even though I played a big role and helped him cut off many romantic opportunities...

"I've finished writing." Jiang Nuo said suddenly.

Gu Jiangkuo came back to his senses: "Ah, I haven't yet."

Jiang Nuo stood up, bent over, and half-lay on the table as if checking his homework. He lowered his head to look at his homework and said with a bit of distress: "How much is left?"

Because the two of them were used to changing into pajamas when they got home, from this angle, Gu Jiangkuo could just see his childhood sweetheart's collar. The collar was very large, revealing the delicate white skin and exquisite collarbone.

The light grey pajamas with a textured feel make the picture look more upscale, making people unable to take their eyes off it, yet dare not desecrate it.

Gu Jiangkuo froze in place. Jiang Nuo noticed his gradually widening eyes, and a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes, but he remained very restrained and sighed pretentiously: "There are still many, then I'll go take a shower first."

"……good."

It seems that Gu Jiangkuo can only say this one word.

Jiang Nuo ran to the bathroom as if she was familiar with the place, squatted down, and took out a bottle of perfume sample from the deepest part of the basin cabinet. It was a very light cologne, suitable for boys.

It took Jiang Nuo half an hour to wash herself clean. She then blew her hair half dry, thought for a moment, threw the pajamas she had just worn into the washing machine, tied the bath towel around her waist, and returned to the study.

During this half hour, Gu Jiangkuo didn't write a single word.

Suddenly, he heard the door open, and like a primary school student caught by the teacher, he quickly picked up the pen and pretended to write a line of calculations on the rough paper.

But I heard a "Hello" at the door.

"Hey," Nuozi said softly, "Brother Dajiang, don't worry. I'll go to your bedroom and wait. I'm tired, so I'll lie down for a while."

The woman in front of me, Nuonuo, was wearing only a bath towel hanging loosely around her waist, and she was barefoot in slippers that were wet because she had just taken a shower. The ends of her black hair were also dripping with water, and she looked like a white lily of the valley covered in dew and about to bloom.

Oh… shit.

"Waiting for you." Jiang Xiaobaihua said.

"Oh." Gu Jiangkuo's throat rolled and he uttered a single syllable.

Then he watched his childhood friend disappear at the door and closed it with a click.

Gu Jiangkuo: “…”

Gu Dajiang felt that his Dajiang Benjiang stood up instantly and cursed again.

He cursed himself for being a beast, took a deep breath, stood up, opened the window as wide as possible, and let the cold air in for a long time before he calmed down and walked back to the bedroom nervously.

Gu Jiangkuo stood at the door, hesitating and not daring to go in immediately. He suspected that there was a white and fragrant glutinous rice ball just across the door, which was a situation he could not resist.

He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Nuonuo.

Fortunately, when he finally plucked up the courage to push open the door, he saw Nuonuo wearing brand new pajamas.

This new set of pajamas was quite tight, with a narrow and tight neckline and long sleeves. While Gu Jiangkuo breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Jiang Nuo sat cross-legged on the bed and patted the seat beside him: "Come here, Brother Dajiang."

Gu Jiangkuo: “…Yeah.”

Since they were very young, Nuozai would call Dajiang "Brother" all the time and follow him around happily, which was so sweet. But as they grew up, Nuozai gradually found it difficult to have a brother. Only when he was in a particularly good mood or had something to ask for help, would he condescend to call him "Brother". Usually he would just call Gu Dajiang, Gu Dajiang.

Gu Jiangkuo was a little flattered. He took out his physics textbook and the draft paper he had prepared, ready to start his lecture, when he smelled a faint fragrance from Jiang Nuo.

After finishing one type of question, Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but ask, "Nuonuo, why do you smell so good?"

"Really?" Jiang Nuomian remained calm, "Maybe he just took a shower."

Gu Jiangkuo agreed: "You have been cleaner than other children since you were young. Even in the hot summer, you don't smell of sweat."

Jiang Nuo: “Really?”

Gu Jiangkuo: “Yeah.”

Gu Jiangkuo clutched his pen, pretending to stare at the formula on his paper. Internally, he was torn between a nagging dilemma and a nagging question: Should he ask what the post he saw today was all about?

How should he ask so that he could attack or defend? He wanted to test Nuozi, but he didn't want to lose him even more! What if he scared him and scared him away? Wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?

Gu Jiangkuo was struggling over how to start the conversation, and he was so troubled that beads of sweat appeared on his face in the early autumn.

Jiang Nuo: “………………”

Jiang Nuo couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Are you hot?"

"Ah?" Gu Jiangkuo wiped his sweat, "No! It's not hot!"

Jiang Nuo: “………………”

Gu Jiangkuo: "Let's get on with the problem! We need to use the formula for elastic potential energy here: Ep = 1/2 kx². But since this is a light spring, its mass can be ignored, so we can assume that the tension in each part of the spring is equal. Then, the ball f is..."

"Brother Dajiang," Jiang Nuo interrupted him, "My dad said something today that really shocked me. He actually arranged for me to go on a blind date after the college entrance examination."

Gu Jiangkuo stopped talking, his voice rising an octave, and he almost broke the bed with his palm: "What?!"

Jiang Nuo said in a distressed tone, "It's outrageous, isn't it? I still have several months to go before I become an adult."

Gu Jiangkuo: "Who? Who did Uncle Jiang ask you to go on a blind date with?"

Jiang Nuo: "Do you know the Jiang family of Blueprint Industrial? Chairman Jiang's only daughter, Jiang Xia."

"I heard it from my mom," Gu Jiangkuo said. "Uncle Jiang spread the word that he only has one daughter, Jiang Xia, and whoever marries her will get the family fortune. Isn't this just recruiting a live-in son-in-law? It's also good for attracting those Phoenix men. Why would Uncle Jiang do this? He must have made a mistake."

Jiang Nuo pulled a pillow and placed it on his lower back. "I also don't think my family needs to do this. Maybe my dad was just joking with me. I just listened and didn't ask any further questions."

"Does your waist hurt?" Gu Jiangkuo asked. "How about I give it a massage? My coach taught me how to relax the muscles."

"Okay." Jiang Nuo turned around.

Gu Jiangkuo began to massage his quadratus lumborum upwards, massaging along his spine. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. "Uncle Jiang couldn't be kidding. Now I remember he's been going out drinking with Uncle Jiang a lot lately! Do you remember last weekend, they even arranged for Jiang Xia to come and give you extra lessons?"

"Well," Jiang Nuo, "I refused."

"That's right!" Gu Jiangkuo said excitedly, "When she was in high school, she wasn't as good at studying as you, and she even gave you extra lessons. Is this a joke?"

"Nuonuo," Gu Jiangkuo said, "You definitely wouldn't agree to something so ridiculous, would you? Jiang Xia, do you remember that a few years ago when our families got together, she even toasted at the dinner table. She drank a huge glass of beer in one gulp. She had just finished the college entrance exam at that time, right? How could a girl drink!"

Jiang Nuo: "Isn't she an adult now? Didn't you praise her before for being generous and straightforward? Like a tiger father, like a dog daughter. She will definitely be a strong woman in the future."

"Did I praise her? Impossible!" Gu Jiangkuo said sourly. Jiang Xia was obviously not a good girl. She was not quiet at all. She was just a crazy girl. She was three years older than you. She looked so old!" Unlike me, I am only half a year older than you! Youth is just right!

Jiang Nuo deliberately said: "How can I be old? I am still a girl. Isn't 21 the age of flowers? Besides, it's good for girls to be lively, isn't it?"

Gu Jiangkuo was anxious: "What do you mean? Why do you keep praising her? Do you really want to marry her?!"

Jiang Nuo was silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "My father attaches great importance to the Jiang Group. Marrying into the Jiang family will help my company."

Gu Jiangkuo: "What's the Jiang family? Can his family compare to my Gu family?"

Jiang Nuo turned his head in surprise, then turned around to face Gu Jiangkuo and said seriously, "Gu Dajiang, what are you talking about? The Gu family is of course a million times stronger than the Jiang family."

After knowing each other for so many years, others may not know, but Jiang Nuo's family knows the details of the Gu family and knows that they are the heirs to all the huge wealth of the legendary Nanyang Gu family.

Jiang Nuo: "But, what does that have to do with this matter? We can't have a marriage between our two families, right?"

Gu Jiangkuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo looked at him, and the crack in time was stretched infinitely long. Jiang Nuo was so nervous that he wanted to swallow, but in the end he didn't even move his throat, for fear of breaking the delicate balance.

At this moment, he suddenly doubted whether Gu Jiangkuo had the same feelings for her as he did, and he also doubted whether Gu Jiangkuo had the courage to do so.

So, he didn't ask Gu Jiangkuo "Do you like me?", but directly escalated the matter to the level of "marriage." Jiang Nuo wanted a relationship that was open and long-lasting, that could be disclosed to both parents and accepted by the other's family.

If Gu Jiangkuo doesn't dare or is unwilling to do so, he would rather miss it.

He didn't want a short period of happiness to cause two good friends who grew up together to become strangers. If the result was not the best, he would rather never break this window paper and just be "friends" with him forever.

Maybe it was only a few seconds, or maybe it was so long that Jiang Nuo's neck and spine were aching unbearably. Gu Jiangkuo gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice, "Why not!"

"Ah?" This time it was Jiang Nuo's turn to be unable to react.

Gu Zhiqiu Jiang Kuo simply ignored everything and said, "Nuonuo! Can I not look for Jiang Xia? I will marry you! My parents are probably too old to have other children. I am the only heir of the Gu family. I will use all the shares of the Gu Group as a dowry and marry into the Jiang family together. Is that okay?"

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo had anticipated the possible confessions, including affectionate ones and touching ones, but he had never expected that things would turn out so...realistically.

Who would use a fortune worth hundreds of billions as a bargaining chip to express love?

Seeing Jiang Nuo didn't say anything, Gu Jiangkuo couldn't help but feel uneasy, "Nuonuo, you, don't you like boys?"

Jiang Nuo was speechless after being overwhelmed by the hundreds of billions of family assets. He forgot all his carefully planned plot and said expressionlessly, "...Why do you say that?"

Gu Dajiang, a student who was nearly 5 feet 4 inches tall, pinched the bed sheet shyly, like a young wife with a hard time expressing her grievances. "I remember asking you before, in the second year of junior high, and you said you weren't."

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo also remembered that time when Ding Pingzhou tried to take him to open the door to a new world. Nuozi was quite frightened at that time. He had already accepted in his heart that he was "different" from others, but he was also a little resistant, as if once he admitted it, he would become the same person as Ding Pingzhou, which was a bit disgusting.

Therefore, the few intentional or unintentional attempts made by Gu Jiangkuo later were all evaded by him.

Jiang Nuo didn't answer directly, but asked: "What about you? Do you like boys?"

But Gu Jiangkuo slowly shook his head.

“?!” Jiang Nuo’s heart sank.

Gu Jiangkuo: "I don't like girls, but I don't like other boys either. Nuonuo, I've only ever liked you."

Jiang Nuo: “!”

"What do you mean by 'liked'?"

Gu Jiangkuo gritted his teeth and analyzed himself thoroughly: "I did like you, but I didn't dare to say it. I could only keep it in my heart, for fear that you would find out."

He whispered again, "I like it now too."

Gu Jiangkuo originally wanted to test Nuonuo's orientation, but now, he confessed everything in a hurry. In this case, he might as well tell him everything that has been accumulated in his heart for these years.

"When I saw that idiot Ding Pingzhou confessing his feelings to you, I realized I was that kind of person, too. It turns out my feelings for you had long since soured. We weren't just 'friends' or 'childhood friends' at all," Gu Jiangkuo said. "'Friends' don't get jealous, they don't get mad when a girl confesses her feelings to you. I was troubled for a long time, but I realized you didn't seem to be one of them, so I went to my dad to confide in him."

"?" Jiang Nuo, "Did you tell Uncle Gu?!"

"Yeah." Gu Jiangkuo honestly recounted the conversation between them as father and son.

Jiang Nuo was still shocked. Uncle Gu wasn't angry at all? He even advised Dajiang. Brother not to bother straight men. Is he so open-minded?

Gu Jiangkuo: "I have always thought of you all these years...so I didn't dare to disturb you. I wanted to wait for you silently for the rest of my life, but I don't know what happened today." Maybe seeing you review that post rekindled hope in my heart, or maybe I felt a little jealous after hearing about Jiang Xia.

"Anyway," Gu Jiangkuo whispered, "Don't worry, Nuonuo. It doesn't matter what I think. We can still be friends in the future. I've been suppressing this for so many years anyway. I can control it. Please don't... distance yourself from me because of this."

How could it be alienated? Jiang Nuo didn't know how to describe his current mood, and barely suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise wildly: "Why don't you just ask, do I really like you?"

"I won't ask." Gu Jiangkuo said, "You've already given me the answer. I don't want to hear another rejection. Just treat my confession just now as nonsense. I'm used to taking care of you anyway. If you get married in the future, I'm willing to be your..."

Before he could even utter the word "best man", Gu Jiangkuo was hit in the face.

Then he felt a light and pleasant scent of cologne coming towards him. Nuozai grabbed his neck a little roughly, face to face, very close to him.

Gu Jiangkuo: “!”

Jiang is absolutely worthy of the title of "school hunk". His strong facial features are very pleasing to the eye and look even better from such a close distance.

Gu Jiangkuo's face slowly turned red. "What are you doing?"

Jiang Nuo pinched his chin and kissed him.

Gu Jiangkuo: “!!!!”

Holy shit!!

Gu Dajiang gave his first kiss just like that.

It was a soft, aggressive kiss with the fresh scent of mouthwash.

It was also Jiang's first time kissing. He lacked experience and withdrew hastily without deepening his kiss. However, such a short and immature kiss easily made both of them blush.

Nuozi could even clearly see what changes had taken place in Brother Dajiang's body.

Jiang Nuo felt shy for a moment, but more than that, she was secretly delighted: Look, he likes me! The body's reaction can't be lied to!

Nuozi, like a proud ragdoll cat, raised his handsome face and looked directly at Gu Dajiang: "Brother Dajiang, am I expressing myself clearly?"

Gu Jiangkuo was still petrified, his face and ears burning. The CPU in his brain was beeping with overheating alarms. He fought with his last shred of clarity, resisting the urge to execute the fragrant, white, sticky cub right in front of him. He said with difficulty, "Understood."

Jiang Nuo pursed her lips, eyes full of smiles, and encouraged him to confess: "So, what should you say?"

Gu Jiangkuo: “…”

"I want to say," Gu Jiangkuo's Adam's apple rolled, "Can I kiss you again?"

Jiang Nuo: “???”

Gu Jiangkuo: "It was my first kiss, and I didn't feel anything..."

"..." Nuozi's face darkened instantly, and he stood up and was about to leave, "Get lost."

Gu Jiangkuo quickly pulled him back.

As they grew older, a huge gap in height and strength appeared between the two. If Gu Jiangkuo really wanted to control Jiang Nuo, it would be effortless. He easily pulled her back. His thoughts finally became clear. While holding his own Nuo Nuo tightly, he smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I'm just kidding. I want to talk about something else."

Jiang Nuo was almost completely pinned to the bed. The disparity in strength made it impossible for him to move. However, he was not afraid at all. He relaxed his body and looked up at Gu Jiangkuo. Although he was clearly the one being suppressed, he commanded condescendingly like a king commanding his subjects: "Speak."

Gu Jiangkuo also cooperated and said immediately: "I want to say that that was my first kiss."

"..." Jiang Nuo, "Who isn't——"

"So," Gu Jiangkuo looked at him deeply, "Can you be responsible for me?"

Jiang Nuo's lips curled up quietly: "How to be responsible?"

Gu Jiangkuo: "Give me a name and be my boyfriend, okay?"

The two of them were still in a state of suppression and being suppressed. Jiang Nuo raised his eyebrows: "Is this considered a threat?"

"Not really." Gu Dajiang blurted out, but did not let him go. He still held Nuozai's hand, carefully controlling the strength to half-press on him.

Jiang Nuo could clearly feel the overwhelming male hormones of an 18-year-old boy.

But then the tall, strong, and athletic Gu Jiangkuo said softly, "How dare I threaten you? Don't you know how much I'm afraid of you?"

Jiang Nuo: “?” Is he afraid of me?

Gu Jiangkuo rubbed against him like a large dog, "So, do you agree?"

According to Jiang's plan, he should have waited for Dajiang to come to his house three times before he would reluctantly agree. But when the time came, he raised the corner of his lips and said straightforwardly, "I agree."

Gu Jiangkuo's eyes lit up immediately. He licked his lips and asked expectantly, "Can I kiss you?"

Jiang Nuo: “…”

It's such a waste of your big stature, and the muscles you built up with your Sanda coach. Where has your energy gone that allows you to fight with others at the slightest disagreement?

Gu Jiangkuo asked again before he got home.

Jiang Nuo's ears turned red, and he said in an unbearable tone: "...There are some things that you don't need to ask!"

Immediately afterwards, Nuozi felt himself being picked up by a pair of strong arms and thrown into the middle of a more comfortable and soft mattress, and it seemed that the physics test paper that he had not had time to put away was also pressed down.

But he didn't have time to pay attention - Gu Jiangkuo kissed him eagerly and unskillfully.
