After graduating from university, Lu Cijiu passed the civil service exam and became the head of an orphanage. The orphanage was old, dilapidated, run-down, and poor, housing four snot-nosed little ...
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, especially for Lu Cijiu.
Gong Xichao was happy when he heard Dou Qinglan's words, but he still looked quite cold and arrogant, as if he was looking for trouble and said, "Hey, Green Arrow, what are you doing here?"
"This is a huge hit! I waited in line for ages to get it." Dou Qinglan waved the 'gift' box and winked, saying, "All the couples over there love it."
Seeing that Gong Xichao was curious, Lu Cijiu didn't care about his new discovery and grabbed the box in his arms. When he looked down, his face was torn with shame and embarrassment.
Because there is a pattern on the packaging box, a white and tender peach butt, a sex egg blocking the anus, and also emitting a vibration diagram.
Lu Bijiu: ...
I was extremely afraid that Gong Xichao would see it.
A scorching gaze from the side and above him trembled in Lu Cijiu's heart. He looked up and unexpectedly met Gong Xichao's gaze. Gong Xichao had also seen the screen. His face remained calm, but his eyes wavered. When he caught his gaze, he immediately looked away, and his ears flushed slightly.
The atmosphere became even more awkward.
If Lu Cijiu had been able to tease the 4,800-year-old innocent little eagle before, but now, as soon as Lu Cijiu thought about Gong Xichao seeing the picture and knowing that the box was for him, he suddenly felt sick.
He dug his toes into the floor of the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.
Lu Cijiu took the paper bag from Dou Qinglan and found it was heavy. There was more! He didn't know how many of these things Dou Qinglan had bought. His fingers felt hot as he threw the vibrator in the bag.
"I, I'll go into the house first." Lu Cijiu turned and left, not daring to look at Gong Xichao any longer.
I'm going to die. How can I say this?
Of course, he couldn't say it in front of outsiders, as that would embarrass Diao. He couldn't imagine Lu Cijiu doing anything destructive. He probably wouldn't kill Dou Qinglan to silence him and run away.
"Brother Lu really likes it. I bought some traditional ones and some newly developed ones. The salesperson said that there are also improvements to the traditional ones, such as the vibrating egg that can increase the temperature."
"Vibrator?"
Mr. Diao's tone is very motivated. If you don't understand something, just ask.
Lu Cijiu, who was holding a gift bag in front, said: "...Dou Qinglan, go clean your room. The bed and furniture are already in. Clean them yourself, otherwise you will have nowhere to sleep at night."
"Ah? I can squeeze in with you guys for another night—" Dou Qinglan didn't finish his words, and smiled as if he suddenly understood something. "Hehe, I understand. I'll go clean up."
"Come on, Brother Gong."
After saying that, he put down his backpack, ran to the bathroom, got a basin of water and started working.
He was considerate and made room for Brother Lu and Brother Gong.
"That vibrator—" Gong Xichao continued to ask without getting an answer.
"It's not a good thing." Lu Cijiu quickly interrupted Diao Zong's shameless question and said seriously, "I'll put it down."
What should I say?
When Lu Cijiu returned to the bedroom and saw his collapsed bed, his scalp suddenly tightened. Then he saw the bright red bedding woven by the mermaid, and thought of something incredible.
Only the bedding of newlyweds is bright red.
There was also the time when he was on a business trip to a hotel. He usually never changed his bedding, but that time he actually wore bright red.
Lu Cijiu's mind was in a state of confusion. When had Gong Xichao developed feelings for him like that? No, they were just friends normally, nothing that could cause misunderstanding or ambiguity. Why did he think in that direction?
After searching back for a long time, the straight man Lu Cijiu didn't notice anything suspicious and gave up. No matter why Diao Zong liked him, he had to make it clear now.
This bed—
We can't sleep together tonight.
But it was already dark, and there was no time to buy anything. If all else failed, he would just squeeze in with Dou Qinglan.
Lu Cijiu put down the cabinet and heard footsteps behind him. His back suddenly tightened. He stood up and tried to find words: "Haha, I put my things away."
"You're a little weird." Gong Xichao looked at the packaging bags in the cabinet, "Lu Cijiu, do you want to use those with me?"
Today she even hinted that she wanted to lay eggs with him.
Lu Cijiu:!!!
I'm here to help. This is just a hint. If I continue like this, if I fall asleep one day, my anus will be in danger.
"Gong Xichao, I have something to ask you." Lu Cijiu said seriously, "Wait a minute."
Close the door and draw the curtains quickly.
The slightly dark room made the original atmosphere even more weird. Gong Xichao exuded the eagerness to use the vibrator with him, but he wanted to tell the truth, which was a contradiction.
This can't go on.
The light came on.
"Lu Cijiu, are you nervous?" Gong Xichao could see Lu Cijiu was uneasy. He wasn't prepared, and he didn't even know what a vibrator was. But he was a quick learner. He was a genius.
"We can come back in two-days." Gong Xichao promised. Seeing that Lu Cijiu didn't answer, he frowned slightly and said, "If you really want, we can come tonight."
Anyway, it won't be difficult for him.
Lu Cijiu: The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes.
At the same time, Lu Cijiu also felt that Gong Xichao was very serious and cared about his feelings - but he didn't have the idea of "wanting to let Gong Xichao put the vibrator in his anus"! No!
It’s impossible in this lifetime, don’t even think about it.
"Gong Xichao, I don't know how to put this, but I just realized there's some misunderstanding between us." Lu Cijiu said stubbornly, "Do you like me? The kind of love you have as a lover?"
Gong Xichao was a little embarrassed, but said stubbornly, "You like me so much, I agreed, what's wrong?"
When did I like you so much!
Yes, I like you very much, but that’s how dad treats Goose.
Lu Cijiu was muttering in his heart, but he could see that Gong Xichao was serious, but was just embarrassed to say it, which made it even more difficult. But if he didn't say it, it would really hurt their feelings, and he couldn't play with the vibrator with Gong Xichao.
"I do like you very much, but that kind of liking is the kind of liking for Dalong, Weiba, Dudu, and Maozi, not the kind of liking for a lover." Lu Cijiu mustered up the courage to speak directly.
It was visible to the naked eye that the slight blush on Gong Xichao's face faded away in an instant and turned into a cold white.
"Impossible, you obviously love me and you want to lay eggs with me."
Lu Cijiu: This is a huge misunderstanding. I’m about to lay eggs.
A rooster can't lay eggs. Ugh, he, Lu Cijiu, a man can't lay eggs.
"I don't know what caused you to misunderstand, but honestly, I like you as much as I like the cubs—"
Gong Xichao froze in his place, "Do you treat me like a kid?"
"Not really." He was being a goose. But to say that now was the word death. Lu Cijiu softened his tone, mainly because Gong Xichao looked very scary right now. "You can't force feelings. I really can't let you continue to misunderstand. If you don't want to see me, don't take Dalong away."
Gong Xichao's cold air was brewing.
"Tonight I'm staying with Dou Qinglan—"
"You still want to live with Dou Qinglan!!!" Gong Xichao's cold air erupted like a volcano, and he was furious. "I knew it! I knew it! It's that Green Arrow."
Lu Cijiu said weakly, "It has nothing to do with Dou Qinglan."
"You even want to sleep with him!" Gong Xichao rushed over.
Lu Cijiu could hear the sense of grievance mixed in Gong Xichao's anger and explained, "My bed is broken, and it's not suitable for us to sleep together now."
"Don't even think about it." Gong Xichao looked at the bright red bedding and said angrily, "Lu Cijiu, you're going too far!"
Lu Cijiu felt like a heartless man.
Now, everything I say is wrong. I can only admit my mistakes.
Gong Xichao became even more furious upon seeing this and said, "Damn it! Go sleep on your broken bed."
The collapsed bed was repaired in an instant.
Gong Xichao's face flushed red, not knowing whether he was angry or something else. Lu Cijiu felt bad, and the atmosphere was tense for a second. Suddenly, Diao Zong's home clothes were refreshed and transformed into golden armor, majestic and cold. Lu Cijiu was not afraid, as Gong Xichao would not attack him.
"I am Kunpeng, a 4,800-year-old ancient divine vein, a quasi-sage level. Lu Bijiu, look at me."
Lu Cijiu looked over and squinted his eyes. It was so golden and dazzling, "So dazzling."
"Now I'll give you one last chance. I am the only Kunpeng in this world." Gong Xichao smoothed his armor, and the shimmering golden light emitted a dazzling glow.
It's like a peacock whose courtship has been rejected, and can only use its unique skills to show off its feathers.
"Emotions really force—"
Gong Xichao said angrily: "Lu Cijiu, don't regret it!" Then he pushed the door open and walked out.
In the pitch-black sky, a golden light leaped into the sky, and with a whoosh, it flew into the distance like a meteor.
Lu Cijiu couldn't keep up. When he reached the courtyard, he had no idea how things would turn out. Where would Gong Xichao go? Just leave like that? Would he ever come back? But even if he tried to persuade him, there was no trace of him.
Should I have been more tactful in my tone just now?
He should have spoken slowly, not just said it directly.
Lu Cijiu felt a little regretful, standing at the doorway of the main hall, staring at the sky in a daze. In the past few months, from the beginning when Gong Xichao looked down on him and kept calling him a human, he also didn't like Gong Xichao, but later as they got along, he realized Gong Xichao's lovable side.
Gong Xichao is protective, righteous, face-conscious, and childlike.
This is a demon who is particularly simple and sincere in feelings.
But because of this, Lu Cijiu didn't want to lie to Gong Xichao.
Love is love, not love is not love.
Lu Cijiu was overwhelmed with emotions, thinking about the scenes of the two of them getting along in the past. What if Gong Xichao really left and never came back?
Thinking of this, Lu Cijiu felt uncomfortable.
The golden light was so dazzling, and there was also the cry of Kunpeng. Zhou Cheng was holding Xiaohong, and Dou Qinglan came out. Dou Qinglan froze in place, rubbing his eyes. What had he just seen?
Zhou Cheng knew the inside story and glanced at Lu Cijiu.
"Xiaolu, Mr. Gong should be back." Zhou Cheng felt that Xiaolu looked very concerned and sad.
Lu Cijiu said blankly, "I don't know."
Dou Qinglan noticed the difference in the atmosphere, and without asking what was in the sky just now, he said, "Brother Lu, is it because of my gift? I'm sorry."
"It has nothing to do with you. Instead, I should thank you. This day will come sooner or later." Lu Cijiu rubbed his face and said, "Don't say Gong Xichao and I are a couple in the future. We are just friends."
Now I don’t even have friends anymore.
Dou Qinglan: Huh? !!!
"Isn't it? Brother Gong admitted it—" Dou Qinglan quickly realized that it was Brother Gong who liked Brother Lu and had misunderstood. He really messed up. He felt so guilty.
Lu Cijiu was in a bad mood and couldn't be depressed. The kids were in the vegetable garden. Dada came back soon.
"Chirp, there was a bright thing in the sky just now. Is that uncle?" Dalong rushed forward, "Where has uncle been?"
Lu Cijiu didn't know how to answer.
"Let's go out and relax. Let's eat first, okay?"
Dalong was used to his uncle and Jiujiu getting angry. He knew his uncle would be home soon anyway, so he said happily, "Let's eat."
The dinner was originally very sumptuous, but now Lu Cijiu had little appetite.
It's always a bad feeling when a family of six is missing one person.
Without showing it on his face, Lu Cijiu invited the kids to finish their meal. As usual, he played with them in the yard for a while after the meal. After they took a bath, they went to bed at eight o'clock and told them stories before going to bed.
After finishing his work, Lu Cijiu entered the master bedroom and saw the well-repaired bed.
Now he knew why Gong Xichao wanted to destroy his bed.
The bed collapsed, and Gong Xichao was very happy.
Now the bed is fine again.
It was repaired by Gong Xichao.
Lu Cijiu sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and took out his cell phone to write a text message.
[Brother Gong, I shouldn’t have been so direct about what happened tonight] Delete.
[Gong Ge, I made your favorite lobster for dinner, and I saved one for you. We are a family. Although we can't be lovers, we are friends.] Delete it, it makes him look green.
[Gong Ge, Da Long misses you so much. When will you come back?] It's not good either. It's like a husband running away from home, and his wife begging him with the children.
Lu Cijiu tried to send it several times, but it didn't work in the end. He went out with his phone and found Dou Qinglan standing at his door, raising his hand to knock, with a conflicted look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What are you doing up at night?"
"I'm here to apologize." Dou Qinglan said dejectedly, "Besides singing, dancing, and composing, I've always been bad at socializing in my daily life. Did Brother Gong get angry and leave?"
Zhou Cheng's door also opened.
"..." Lu Cijiu nodded and patted Dou Qinglan's shoulder, "It really has nothing to do with you. It's a good thing you found out early." He walked towards Brother Cheng.
Zhou Cheng held up the beer and asked, "Do you want to drink in the yard? Or in my room?"
"You can stay in your room. It's very cold in the yard." Lu Cijiu said.
The three of them returned to Zhou Cheng's room. Sitting on the small sofa, Dou Qinglan was about to lie down on the lazy sofa in the corner, but Xiaohong raised her paw to scratch her. Zhou Cheng took the opportunity to hold Xiaohong and sit on the lazy sofa, explaining, "This is its territory. Can I sit here?"
Xiaohong then loosened her claws and barked twice.
This means that only Zhou Cheng can sit.
Dou Qinglan felt that he was being despised, and he immediately yelled, "I really can't do anything, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." He opened the beer and took a sip.
Lu Cijiu: ...Who is the loser between us?
“…I used to have a strong desire to talk, but now I don’t.” Lu Cijiu said to Brother Cheng.
Zhou Cheng laughed, "Mr. Xiaodou is quite cute." Then Xiaohong grabbed his arm. It didn't hurt. Zhou Cheng knew Xiaohong was reminding him. He lowered his head and smiled, "You are the cutest."
Dou Qinglan took two more sips of beer.
Lu Cijiu was also filled with sadness. He gulped down a few gulps of beer, not caring that Xiaohong was still there. He asked, "Brother Cheng, if one day, the cub you raised, take Xiaohong as an example, you raised Xiaohong, spoiled him, and loved him like a son, but one day you found that he had grown into a grown man and liked you, the kind of love that a lover has, what would you do?"
"It's too difficult. I don't want Gong Xichao to leave. Really, I'm afraid he won't come back." Lu Cijiu said while drinking.
Zhou Cheng stroked the little red hair and said seriously, "I like the same sex. I discovered it in high school. At that time, I had a crush on the second-ranked student in the class. He was always chasing after me, wanting to surpass me. If he surpassed me, he would lose interest, so I always tried to keep myself in first place."
"Until I graduated from high school, I wanted to confess my love to him, but it didn't work out because another girl confessed her love to him first."
Perhaps due to the atmosphere tonight, Zhou Cheng talked about things that he didn't like to mention before.
"I've always liked him, had a crush on him that was unrequited, and couldn't let go even after college. I wondered if I had confessed my feelings back then, would the outcome have been different? But I backed off. After I graduated from college, we ran into each other by chance in Shanghai one year. It had been so many years, and I couldn't help but reveal my feelings to him."
Dou Qinglan was also attracted. He burped and said, "Are you two together, Brother Zhou?"
"He told the high school class group that I was a homosexual, had a crush on him, liked him, and was a pervert. He asked me to go to a hotel room to live stream and humiliate me. This was told to me by the girl who confessed to him," said Zhou Cheng.
The girl was with the second place winner, but they broke up soon. The love in youthful fantasy was beautiful, but after being together, she found that the second place winner was not as passionate, sunny and motivated as he seemed, but was dark inside. If she couldn't win him over, he would belittle her and say vicious words behind her back.
"I've been missing this little guy for seven years, from my second year of high school to my graduation from university. If I hadn't met him, if I hadn't been honest about my feelings, I might still be thinking about him." Zhou Cheng said, "My emotional experience is very limited, so you say, if Xiaohong likes me."
The little red in my arms stood up with its ears.
"I treat it as a child and a relative. If it likes me, even if I don't like it at that time, I will tell it to him. If it doesn't leave, then let nature take its course," said Zhou Cheng.
Lu Cijiu was distressed, "But I'm a straight man."
"Really? Brother Lu, you don't look straight at all." Dou Qinglan said drunkenly.
Lu Bijiu: ...
So he was misunderstood by Gong Xichao because he looked gay?!
Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "Anyway, I had some misunderstandings at the time."
After hearing what a genuine gay man had said, Lu Cijiu began to reflect. Was he really not straight? No way? No way!
Gong Xichao fled the scene in shame and anger. He had already used his most beautiful wings, but humans turned a blind eye to it. He was so angry!
What's so great about saying goodbye to the old ways! What's so great about it!
Gong Xichao turned back to his original form, his heart filled with anger, and he just wanted to vent, brewing a lot of thoughts of killing people, setting fires, and becoming a bad demon, but every time he was about to cause trouble, he thought of Lu Cijiu.
You can't kill people.
Can't hurt anyone.
Brother Gong, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.
Gong Xichao was getting more and more angry, and at the same time he felt a little aggrieved. Lu Cijiu said that he didn't like him, so how could he not like him? He obviously loved him to death.
He flew aimlessly to who knows where, without any cover or stealth, and when he saw the sea, he dived in. He needed to lower his fire!
It was dark, Gong Xichao was in the sea, and he thought of Lu Cijiu again.
He also cooked lobster today.
This is very expensive, but since he likes to eat it, Lu Cijiu made it.
I will also peel the shell for him.
This is not liking him!!!
Don't blame him for misunderstanding.
It is clearly a farewell to the old way.
Gong Xichao dived into the sea again. He had already retracted his body and no longer had his original form. Even so, he could still hear humans clamoring about a tsunami.
If I were a tsunami, you wouldn't have time to run away.
It’s all because of Lu Cijiu!
Gong Xichao emerged from the sea and transformed into a roc. His golden feathers were wet by the sea water. He no longer had any of the aura or beauty he had when he first went out. He looked extremely miserable, but he didn't care about it and was not in the mood to take care of him.
My mind is full of farewells.
Why!
He is good in every way, Lu Cijiu will definitely regret it.
Gong Xichao thought so, and then returned to Yuncheng. Lu Cijiu must be regretting it, so he went to see.
The yard was quiet, the children in the main house were asleep, and Lu Cijiu was sitting in the bedroom.
Gong Xichao found a big tree, squatted on the treetop, and looked down from above. He stared at Lu Cijiu with his sharp eyes, and then saw Lu Cijiu stand up——
Worried that he couldn't sleep.
He knew it.
What is that Green Arrow doing here?
Knocking on the door in the middle of the night? What does that mean? You're trying to steal his girl while he's not around!
Gong Xichao's eyes were sharp. Soon the door opened wide and Lu Cijiu came out. Then the two of them carried him to Zhou Cheng's room.
Why are humans so annoying? He has been gone for such a long time, why did you go to Zhou Cheng’s room instead of looking for him!
He kept patting Green Arrow's shoulder!
Then, the three of them chatted in the room. Gong Xichao heard Lu Cijiu ask, "...you love him like your son...and you still like me, like a lover..."
Treat him like your son.
Treat him like your son.
Treat him like your son.
Gong Xichao's mind was filled with these words.
In the late autumn night sky, a wet eagle sat on a branch, its fur trembling when the wind blew.
Can’t tolerate it!
Humans are bullying monsters too much!
He must give Lu Cijiu a good time.
Why should we treat him as a son? How is he like a son? How is he like those four brats?
How similar!
He is so tall, handsome and strong, how can he look like a son!
In the house.
Lu Cijiu, recovering from the shock of not looking straight, said, "Is it really not straight?"
"I'm saying hypothetically. Suppose you like men, what kind of men do you like?" Zhou Cheng asked.
Lu Cijiu, his brain eroded by alcohol, thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter whether they are older or not. As long as we can talk and play together, it's reliable and makes people feel at ease. We trust each other. If he is handsome, it would be even better."
"Isn't this Brother Gong?" Dou Qinglan hugged the bottle of wine and laughed drunkenly, "Look, Brother Gong is very handsome and looks very capable. You also trust each other. This is not true love. Don't blame me for misunderstanding."
Gong Xichao on the tree branch: There is no need to break this green arrow.
It's quite useful.
In the house.
Lu Cijiu thought about the scene of him and Gong Xichao in love, shuddered, and said, "No, I can't do it when I think about the scene of Gong Xichao and I kissing. I really treat him as my son. How can a father love his son so much? Boss Diao's childish image is too strong. He is the kind who wants to coax his child every minute."
Gong Xichao on the tree branch: How can he be a child? He is four thousand eight hundred years old!
Zhou Cheng: "Let me ask you, assuming you like men, what type would you like? If you're as straight as can be, you'll say my question is annoying and you can't think of any reason why you would like men. Not only did you think about it, you even tried to imagine yourself in a relationship with Gong Xichao."
"Hehe, Brother Lu, you are not very straight either." Dou Qinglan hit him.
Lu Cijiu: ??? Am I really not a straight man?
