Chapter 195 Extra 2 (End)

Extra 2 (End)

Father Gu laughed angrily: "What if I don't agree to you?"

Gu Jiangkuo made a heart-holding gesture and said, "Dad, I really don't feel like taking the exam. Even if you reluctantly send me there, I won't be able to concentrate on answering the questions. I might even have to hand in a blank paper."

"you--!"

"Keep your voice down!" Mother Gu raged, protecting her giant panda. "Don't scare the child! He's about to take an exam!"

Gu the panda was already a head taller than Gu's mother, and he hid behind her and nodded obediently.

Father Gu: “…”

Father Gu: "Didn't you see? This kid did it on purpose!"

"Shut up!" Mother Gu glared at Father Gu again, forcing Gu Min to shut up. Then she said to her son, "Dajiang, just do your best on the exam. Don't worry about anything. Isn't it just about convincing Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang? Leave it to Mom and Dad."

Father Gu: “Ah?”

Gu Jiangkuo: “?” Is this true? Is it that easy?

Mother Gu patted Father Gu again, "What?"

Gu Jiangkuo said distrustfully, "Mom, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Didn't you have a talk with your dad when you were in the second grade? He told me afterwards."

Gu Jiangkuo looked at his father Gu with eyes full of condemnation. What about the secrets between men?

Mr. Gu felt guilty and turned his head to look at the ceiling.

Mother Gu: "After all these years, you still like Xiaonuo. ... Let's put it this way. We'll think it over carefully. However, when an elder says it, it's a serious matter. You need to think it through carefully."

Gu Jiangkuo said seriously, "I've thought it through."

"Go prepare for the exam first," said Mrs. Gu, "and we'll talk about it after you're done."

This really seemed like something they would seriously consider. Gu Jiangkuo felt it difficult to "threaten" them anymore and left with a somewhat dreamy mood - did Mom really agree?

After sending his son away, Mr. Gu asked, "Were you serious just now? Or were you just kidding him?" He said it so seriously that he almost believed it.

"Of course it's true." Mrs. Gu said, "Don't you mind your son's sexual orientation?"

Father Gu: “…That’s true.”

When he heard his son say that he liked boys, Gu's father accepted it very well. He always believed that there was no need to pass on the old man Gu Zhonghong's genes. Since Dajiang didn't like girls, he was not willing to force him to change his orientation. He just wanted the three of them to be happy.

Mother Gu, on the other hand, was lost for a long time back then, but after so much time, she seemed to have accepted it.

Mother Gu sighed, "It seems he really likes Nuonuo? He hasn't changed in all these years, but I don't know if it can last. If Dajiang is destined to find a boy to spend his life with, then Nuonuo is really the best choice. We watched that child grow up. He has a good heart, is smart and charming, and looks even better. To be honest, sometimes I feel that our Dajiang is not worthy of him."

Gu Min immediately said, "Our Dajiang is not bad either! He has good grades, is good at sports, and is good at both literature and martial arts! How can they not be a good match? The two children are a perfect match!"

Mother Gu: "Then go tell Lao Jiang and your sister-in-law."

Gu Min was speechless: "Uh..." To be honest, he didn't quite dare.

"Old Jiang told me a few days ago that he wanted to go on a blind date with Mr. Jiang's daughter after Nuonuo finished the college entrance examination. He definitely didn't know that his son liked boys."

"Is there a possibility," Mother Gu said hesitantly, "that Nuonuo was influenced by our son and chose this path."

Father Gu: “…………”

It feels very likely!

"If that's really the case, and it was our Dajiang who led Nuonuo down this path, then I wouldn't dare to talk to Lao Jiang about this!" Lao Jiang was determined to tear him apart. Even if he gave all the Gu family's property as a betrothal gift, he might not be able to calm down - Lao Jiang only had this one precious son.

“…I was too embarrassed to tell my sister-in-law.”

The couple expressed the same concerns about their future "meeting in-laws".

On the other hand, Gu Jiangkuo, who pushed the pressure onto his parents, felt relaxed and happily took the last exam. Because he was in a good mood, he performed particularly well.

After the last exam, the parents who were waiting outside the examination room were also excited. There were even young boys and girls holding bouquets. Gu Jiangkuo was among the first to come out. He saw his mothers in red cheongsams - the two sisters Gu Ma and Jiang Ma. Each of them wore a red cheongsam with a high slit, which was said to symbolize victory for his sons.

But both teenagers secretly suspected that these two middle-aged beauties were just looking for an excuse to show off their style. Nuozi was more reserved (more likely because he didn't dare to confront Jiang's mother), while Gu Dajiang was more direct. From the moment Gu's mother put on the dress, he bluntly said, "Feudal superstition is unacceptable. If mothers can get good grades by wearing a red cheongsam, then wouldn't all students be able to get into 211 universities?"

"Dajiang!" Dad and Mom Gu waved from afar: "How did you do on the exam?"

"Not bad!" Gu Jiangkuo hurried over and stuffed a transparent pencil case filled with 2B pencils, pens, and erasers into his father's pocket, saying, "I'll be fine after I finish the exam. It's so hot, you guys should go back quickly to avoid getting a heat stroke!"

Father Gu: "Where are you going?"

Mother Gu said helplessly, "Why ask that?" Then she shouted at her son's back, "Let me drive you to No. 12 Middle School! How far is it to walk there?"

"It's such a traffic jam, driving is not as fast as walking!" Gu Jiangkuo replied and started running.

Father Gu suddenly realized, then sighed: "My son has grown up and I can't keep him here!"

.

Gu Jiangkuo had long legs and big steps, and he was in good physical condition. When he ran to No. 12 Middle School two streets away at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, the students who were evacuating from the examination room had not yet finished leaving.

He saw a cool Rolls-Royce outside the cordon. Next to the car was Jiang's mother, who was also wearing a red cheongsam, and Jiang's father, who was holding an umbrella for his wife. As expected, Jiang Nuo had not come out yet.

Nuonuo is slow and careful. She checks until the last minute for every exam and doesn't like to squeeze with others, so she might deliberately take a few minutes to finish.

Seeing that he didn't come out, Gu Jiangkuo slowed down his pace with relief, but he saw a girl standing next to him holding a large bouquet of flowers. She kept asking the girl walking with her, "Did you see him?"

"Not yet. There are so many people here. Don't worry."

"Oh, so nervous. I was planning to give him a surprise, so I didn't tell him I was waiting outside the exam room."

"Don't worry, not only did you come out to pick him up, but you also brought a big bouquet of flowers. Your boyfriend must be very happy."

Gu Jiangkuo walked over, but turned back after hearing this. "Classmate, where did you buy your flowers?"

"Ah, it's at the flower shop over there, just turn at the end."

"Okay, thank you."

After saying that, Gu Jiangkuo rushed over in a hurry.

It turns out you can buy flowers when picking up candidates. Why didn't he think of this earlier? He should have bought them in advance!

However, Gu Jiangkuo ran very fast. He bought the flowers and returned to the examination room, just in time for the Rolls-Royce to start.

At that time, Jiang Nuo was sitting in the car. He had just retrieved his mobile phone and was checking the unread messages. He was still wondering why he had not received any "harassment" from his classmate Gu Dajiang. After all, he would report his safety as soon as possible after each exam.

"How did you do on the exam, Nuonuo?"

"It's okay." Jiang Nuo said absentmindedly. He was a little worried. Gu Jiangkuo didn't move at all. This was very abnormal. Could something have happened?

At this moment, I felt a knock on the car window, and the scorching sun outside was blocked, bringing a cool breeze.

"Hey? Isn't that Dajiang? Lao Liu, don't drive yet." Father Jiang ordered.

Jiang Nuo looked up and saw a large bunch of bright red roses, as well as Dajiang's bright smile behind the bouquet.

Many people say that Gu Jiangkuo’s main advantage lies in his manly and tough temperament rather than his face, but Jiang Nuo has always felt that Gu Jiangkuo’s smile is very nice, sunny and contagious. It seems that when you are with him, all worries are not worth mentioning.

Gu Jiangkuo also opened the door and got into the car, stuffing a large bouquet of roses into his boyfriend's hands. He then greeted Jiang's father and mother in a familiar manner, and praised Jiang's mother's cheongsam, which was exactly the same as his mother's. "Aunt Jiang, you look so elegant in cheongsam, you outshine all the other parents. I came from a distance and saw you at first sight!"

Mother Jiang was so amused that she even forgot to ask him why he bought red roses.

Nuozi, who was holding a large bouquet of red roses, didn't dare to speak the entire time because he had something to hide. He hid behind the bouquet and glared at Gu Jiangkuo. Gu Jiangkuo looked innocent and mouthed, "Didn't you say that we can make it public after the college entrance examination?"

"You didn't say it would be so fast!" Jiang Nuo glared back at him silently.

"Da Jiang," Father Jiang said, turning back from the front row, "Didn't you just finish your exam too? How did you have time to buy flowers?"

"This is a major event in Nuonuo's life, I must—"

Jiang Nuo stepped on him.

Gu Jiangkuo paused, then changed his words with a sad tone, "I want to give him the flowers my parents gave me."

"Oh, it turned out that Lao Gu bought it."

"Oh, Old Jiang, I was just wondering what I forgot. We forgot to buy flowers for Nuonuo! I saw many parents bought them." Mother Jiang began to mutter.

Although Mother Jiang is quite strict with her son's studies, she has never failed in the matter of "spoiling her child". The topic smoothly switched from "Why roses" to "Why didn't we think of buying flowers for our son? Other children have them, but our son doesn't."

Jiang Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.

Gu Jiangkuo was not honest and quietly held his hand. Jiang Nuo tried to break free but failed and was instead scratched by him on the palm of his hand.

Finally returning home, Mother Jiang announced, "All game consoles and electronic products are now free. This summer, you two can play whatever you want!"

Jiang Nuo cheered happily and pulled Gu Jiangkuo upstairs.

Sure enough, I saw that the study where the two of them usually studied had been changed. The study table was changed into a computer table, connected to two high-end desktop computers side by side, and a brand new keyboard and mouse.

"It's a mechanical keyboard for gaming," Gu Jiangkuo said, knowing the bargain. "My parents are pretty good at shopping!"

Jiang Nuo's first reaction was to cover his mouth. After glancing at the tightly closed door, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "What are our parents? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Why can't I tell you?" Gu Jiangkuo said aggrievedly, "You said it yourself that you weren't just playing around with me, that we were meant to be together for life. Why are you regretting it so soon?"

"Who changed their mind?" Jiang Nuo said. "I was just thinking about how to slowly reveal this to them. Most parents wouldn't be able to readily accept their son being gay, right?"

Jiang Nuo leaned back in his brand new gaming chair, relaxing. "I think we're going to have a big fight sooner or later, but before that, it's best to lay the groundwork and minimize the casualties."

"There's no need to argue with them," said Gu Jiangkuo.

Jiang Nuo remained leaning back in his chair, lazily raising his eyelids. "What nonsense are you talking about? This is 'coming out,' not admitting to them that I forgot to do my homework today."

"That's different." Gu Jiangkuo moved over, half-knelt on the ground, looked up, and said, "Arguing is very energy-consuming. It's sad to think about arguing with your parents, who are closest to you. I can't bear to see you suffer such an injustice."

Gu Jiangkuo, who has grown up, is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and due to years of exercise, he has a strong and sturdy body. Half-squatting like this and whispering to him gives people the illusion that he is a large wild canine that has retracted its claws and been tamed.

Jiang Nuo couldn't help but lower her eyes and touched his face.

Nuozai's hands were white, soft and slender, the hands of a piano player. His palms were delicate, and he could feel the rough, hard stubble on them - Gu Jiangkuo looked clean, but in fact his chin was a little scratchy.

But Jiang Nuo actually liked this feeling: "There's nothing you can do if you don't want to. Coming out and arguing is something that everyone like us has to go through——"

"I didn't argue." Gu Jiangkuo interrupted him, "You don't have to either."

Jiang Nuo: "But——"

"My parents have already agreed to formally propose a marriage between our two families to your parents," Gu Jiangkuo said quickly. "Even if we quarrel, even if Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang want to hit or scold me, just come at me. I will tell them that it's all my fault that you've become like this. I led you astray. I'm here to stand in front of you. You don't need to bear that kind of pressure."

Jiang Nuo: “!”

It wasn't until a long time later that Jiang Nuo found his voice again. "Gu Dajiang, do you know what you are saying?"

"What I said is true, and..." Gu Jiangkuo raised his neck and held his hand in a gesture of submission, as if he wanted to sacrifice himself, his eyes eager, "I have already started to do so."

Jiang Nuo didn't say a word for a long time.

I was obviously very touched, but in the silence, the atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous.

"It still won't work. I can't put the blame on you." Jiang Nuo said, "It doesn't matter if I get scolded or beaten. I'm willing to face it—"

"This topic is too heavy, let's talk about it later." Gu Jiangkuo suddenly stood up and took Jiang Nuo's hand. "Nuonuo, do you remember that I still owe you an answer?"

"What's the answer?"

As Jiang Nuo asked, he remembered: He had asked Gu Jiangkuo several times before, asking him when he fell in love with him, but Gu Dajiang always avoided the question and refused to tell him, insisting on waiting until the two of them slept together.

Jiang Nuo has very fair skin, so even a little bit of red is very obvious.

Gu Jiangkuo saw the peach blossom color on his face and smiled: "Nuonuo, you obviously remembered it."

"Get lost." Jiang Nuo was a little angry and embarrassed. "I suddenly don't want to know the answer."

"That won't do!" Gu Dajiang raised his voice, suddenly bent down, put his two big hands under Jiang Nuo's knees and back, and actually lifted him up from the gaming chair!

Jiang Nuo: “!!!!”

Before he could recover from the sudden change, he felt his whole body shaken. Brother Dajiang changed his position again, from holding him like a princess to holding a child, holding his hips with one hand, "Now I'll tell you!"

"!" Jiang Nuo patted his back, "What are you doing? Put me down! What if my parents come in?"

Although coming out is a matter of time, I haven’t said anything yet!

"Don't be afraid, I remember."

Then, he carried Jiang Nuo to the door. No matter what, Jiang Nuo was over 18 years old now and an adult man of about 1.7 meters tall. It was not difficult for him to carry him. He walked quickly to the door and locked the door with a click with his other free big hand.

"Is it okay now?" Gu Jiangkuo asked.

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo was so nervous now. All the "knowledge" he had secretly learned on the Internet in bed before came flooding back to him, making him blush and feel inexplicably excited.

He had originally envisioned their first time being in a high-end, stylish hotel, B&B, or even an island, a romantic and gentle affair. But now, Gu Jiangkuo seemed to be unable to wait and wanted to do it in this study room where they used to study and practice exercises...

That’s too much!

But Jiang Nuo was not too opposed to it.

But it would not seem appropriate to say that he had no objection at all, as it would make it seem like he was looking forward to it.

Jiang Nuo then symbolically patted Gu Jiangkuo's sturdy back and said insincerely, "How can this be? Put me down."

"Put it down?" Gu Jiangkuo actually stopped and tore Jiang Nuo off his body.

Jiang Nuo: “???”

The moment his feet touched the ground, Jiang Nuo was a little confused: I was just being polite, why did you really stop?

Gu Jiangkuo saw all of her boyfriend's reactions and couldn't help but curl her lips, but she didn't want to tease him. Instead, she stuck close to him and kissed him.

The kiss was lingering and passionate. The intense review and high-intensity schoolwork for several months had made their nerves too tense. As soon as it was over, they really needed such a relaxation.

Jiang Nuo is a little addicted.

But Gu Jiangkuo was really tall, so he had to keep his legs half-bent the whole time. When they were halfway through the kiss and separated, panting, he still picked her up again.

This time, the action was not as gentle as the last time. When she picked up Nuonuo, she lifted up his T-shirt, revealing a thin waist. In order to have a good start in the exam, Nuonuo wore a red suit. Against the backdrop of the bright red, his waist and limbs looked even whiter and more flexible.

Jiang Nuo's entire back was against the wall. The hand that played the piano was held by the other hand that had been lifting weights to build strength for years. The palm of the big hand was rough, and it rubbed the delicate wrist a little painfully.

Jiang Nuo frowned, pulled away from the long kiss, panted slightly, and whispered: "You haven't told me yet, what's the answer?"

Now the two were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats. Gu Jiangkuo hadn't looked at Jiang Nuo so closely in a long time. He said in a hoarse voice, "What's the answer?"

Jiang Nuo knew he was pretending, so she moved closer, biting his lip as if to punish him, and said, "Even though you've been keeping me in suspense for so long, you still refuse to tell me - when did you start to like me?"

"Since when?" Gu Jiangkuo murmured the question again.

There was something he hadn't told Jiang Nuo. It wasn't that he was keeping her in suspense, but rather that his feelings for him were so deep and unknowing. Even he himself couldn't quite figure out when he had fallen for him.

Maybe it was the first time I soiled my pants in a dream when I was just starting to develop, and it was because I dreamed of him; maybe it was watching Nuonuo playing the piano on the stage of a high school performance, dressed in a handsome tuxedo; maybe it was the time when neither of them had done their homework, and when it was their turn to answer a test, Nuonuo calmly read out the answers to the blank test paper...

There are so many things about Nuonuo that he likes, so many things that fascinate him, and so much evidence.

Perhaps, it can be traced back to the time when they were both four years old. As soon as he entered the middle class of kindergarten, he fell in love with this handsome younger brother at first sight, and when he got home, he asked his parents to marry him.

Perhaps, their fate is not limited to this life. No matter how many lifetimes they have lived, how many times they have drunk Mengpo soup, or how many times they have walked across the Naihe Bridge, when they meet again in the world, he will recognize him in the vast crowd and fall in love with him at first sight.

Gu Jiangkuo's heart was gradually filled with an indescribable excitement. He was excited that he and Nuonuo had grown up together in this life, and had spent so many years as childhood sweethearts. Everything was going smoothly, and it seemed that there was only honey in his life, which made him very satisfied.

But Gu Jiangkuo didn't know how to express his feelings, nor did he want to spoil the atmosphere by saying them. So, from among the many reasons, he chose the one that best suited the current atmosphere.

Gu Dajiang smiled wickedly, then whispered into Jiang Nuo's ear, "The first time I...dreamt of you was in my dream. Count how many years I've been thinking about you."

Jiang Nuo: “……!”

Jiang Nuo's handsome face turned red, and he wanted to curse something, but was kissed by Gu Jiangkuo again.

.

When they came out of the study, both teenagers were not in good condition. Nuozi seemed exhausted, and his legs felt a little weak when he walked, while Gu Dajiang looked like he had just come out of the gym, feeling refreshed after physical exercise.

"You can't stay up this late even on vacation. Playing on the computer for too long is bad for your eyes." Aunt Mei, the live-in nanny, shook her head repeatedly. "Are you hungry? Do you want a midnight snack?"

"No." Young Master Jiang's voice was a little hoarse, and he yawned and said, "Aunt Mei, we are asleep, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh okay, Master."

This time, Jiang Nuo openly let Gu Jiangkuo live in his bedroom.

"Aren't you afraid that our parents will find out?" Gu Jiangkuo asked.

Jiang Nuo yawned again, pulled the quilt over him, and wrapped himself up like a silkworm: "I've figured it out, I'll have to face it sooner or later anyway."

"Okay! Then I..."

"You don't have to bear everything," Jiang Nuo said, "I'm not a child, what can't I bear? Let's not delay any longer, I'll confess to my parents tomorrow." Since they have already had physical contact, Young Master Jiang decided to give Gu Jiangkuo a legitimate status as soon as possible.

"Really? Then I'll accompany you." Gu Jiangkuo was delighted and sent a sneaky message to his parents: [Change of plan! Act early tomorrow. Mom and Dad, your son's lifelong happiness depends on you!]

After arranging the assist, Gu Jiangkuo hugged her and the blanket in his arms again, happily starting the night chat mode: "Nuonuo, do you think we can get into University A?"

"Yes, even if we don't pass the exam, we definitely won't have to repeat the year like Ding Pingzhou did. My dad said he'll donate a teaching building to whichever school we enroll in."

"Why are you mentioning Ding Pingzhou again?" Gu Jiangkuo said sourly, "Why are you so concerned about his news?"

"Not that I care." Young Master Jiang rolled his eyes. "It's embarrassing that he repeated a grade twice and got worse on the exams. Have you heard of 'good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles'? Who in the circle doesn't know that the Ding family's son has embarrassed his parents?"

Gu Jiangkuo's mood finally recovered a little, and he began to fantasize again: "Then when we get to City A, let's not live in the dormitory anymore, let's rent a house near the school."

"No." Jiang Nuo said, "I heard that renting a house is very troublesome. It's better to buy one and save trouble."

Gu Jiangkuo: "Good idea! I'm too narrow-minded. After I buy a new house, I have to design and decorate it myself, and put all your favorite figurines and my favorite photos in it."

Jiang Nuo: "What photo?"

Gu Jiangkuo chuckled twice, "A photo of you as a child wearing a red bellyband and Snow White's dress."

Jiang Nuo: “…”

Jiang Nuo sneered: "You, are looking for, death."

Gu Jiangkuo was content to take the beating, then used brute force to hug his boyfriend and coax him, "Stop making trouble. Actually, I have something serious to tell you."

"What?"

"I didn't start liking you after that dream. It must have been a long, long time ago, maybe in my last life. Do you believe in past lives?"

"Feudal superstition." Jiang Nuo yawned, snuggled into Gu Jiangkuo's arms and closed his eyes.

"How come you are not romantic at all?" Gu Jiangkuo complained, but he also hugged him tightly with a satisfied smile on his lips.
