Chapter 29 Chapter 29 I'm saying... I like you...

Nguyen Chao could imagine that he must look terrible now, so he took out a mask from his schoolbag and put it on, covering the "bruised" lower half of his face.

After returning home, his mother still noticed him and asked him in confusion why he was wearing a mask in such hot weather.

He made up an excuse to get away with it.

He said he seemed to have a cold and was afraid of infecting everyone.

"Then mom will give you a cold remedy."

"No need, Mom." Ruan Chao's voice was a little muffled, with a slightly hoarse nasal tone. He coughed lightly and then felt a little more normal. "If you still feel uncomfortable later, I can wash it myself."

Mother Ruan's gaze stayed on him for a while.

Nguyen began to pick his fingers nervously.

Ruan's mother looked calm and said, "The weather has been changing from hot to cold recently. You should be careful and don't catch a cold."

Ruan Chao breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I understand."

When Ruan Chao was going upstairs, he could feel his mother staring at him with an ambiguous look, and he felt like a thorn in his back for the first time.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his mother seemed to know something, even though she didn't say anything...but...

It’s all Gu Xingyan’s fault!

Because of his guilty conscience, Ruan Chao's back was stiff and he almost couldn't move his hands and feet when he walked.

Fortunately, I returned to my room safely along the way.

Ruan Chao went to the bathroom and checked himself carefully in the mirror.

His mouth was very swollen and the color was not right, as if he had put on a layer of lip balm, it was unusually bright.

There were a few tiny cuts on it, probably caused by Gu Xingyan's canine teeth.

Too much, too much, too much...

I've never heard of biting someone's mouth when kissing them!

He didn't even bite Gu Xingyan!

How could Gu Xingyan bite him!

Ruan Chao took out ice cubes from the refrigerator, wrapped them in a towel, and applied a cold compress, hoping to use this method to quickly reduce the swelling of his lips.

He was gasping for air from the cold and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Ever since he and Gu Xingyan separated, the vibration alert sound of his cell phone has never stopped, and it made his legs numb.

Press to light up the screen.

Ruan Chao saw that Gu Xingyan sent him many messages and made more than a dozen phone calls.

There are red dots everywhere.

It makes his obsessive-compulsive disorder very uncomfortable.

While Nguyen Chao was busy clearing the call, another call came in.

The boy's slender white fingers pressed the red button below without hesitation.

Reject!

The phone was silent for a few seconds, then immediately started ringing again as if it was demanding his life.

Reject, reject, reject!

Three consecutive calls were hung up after ringing once or twice.

Even those who are slow to react should understand the meaning of this action.

But Gu Xingyan seemed not to understand and kept calling him relentlessly.

It seemed that as long as Nguyen Chao didn't answer the phone, he would call until the end of time.

The Nguyen Dynasty was very annoyed by him.

Finally the call was connected.

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Gu Xingyan didn't say anything, and only his slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

Ruan Chao suddenly remembered that when Gu Xingyan kissed him, his breathing was also quick and heavy, like a dog that had never eaten meat. His hot breath was all over his sensitive face, arousing an ambiguous reaction.

"Chao Chao."

Ruan Chao touched his face with the back of his cold hand.

I felt the heat.

He didn't reply.

"I'm sorry." He apologized fluently, but the following words clearly blurred the point. "I was wrong. I was wrong. I shouldn't have kissed you so hard, and I shouldn't have been unable to control myself and bit you..."

…

"I promise you, I will be gentler next time and I will definitely not hurt you as much as I did today."

Nguyen Chao didn't want to talk to him at first.

But after hearing such shameless words, he couldn't help but speak.

"Do you want to do it again?"

"Are you crazy or am I crazy? Do you think I will let you kiss me again?"

"Dream on."

…

Ruan Chao originally planned to hang up, but he stopped when he thought of something and warned in a cold voice, "Don't call me again. If you call me again, I will block you."

The world is finally completely quiet.

Most of the ice in the towel had melted, and water was dripping down.

Some of it dripped onto his legs, feeling wet and cool.

Nguyen Chao changed to a new towel.

He applied ice to his mouth for a long time and the swelling finally subsided a little.

But it still hurts.

It hurts outside, but it hurts even more inside.

He couldn't help but curse Gu Xingyan seventy or eighty times in his heart.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Ruan Chao stood up and wanted to open the door, but suddenly remembered something and grabbed the mask on the table and put it on hurriedly.

There were three long knocks and one short knock, very regular.

Ruan Chao hid the towel and ice cubes, and wiped the water off the seat with a tissue, making sure there was no trace left. "Wait a minute, I'll be right back."

"Chao Chao." It was my mother's voice, "A classmate is here to play with you."

Classmate?

The first person that Nguyen Chao thought of was Gu Xingyan.

But they just had a conflict, and he even threatened him on the phone, making it clear that he didn't want to bother with him now. Would he come to cause trouble?

Could that be Chen Feng?

At this moment, he should be playing games on his computer or walking around the canyon with headphones on. How could he possibly have the time to come look for him?

Nguyen's hand fell on the door handle and did not move.

He asked softly through the door.

"Mom, who is it?"

"It's Xiao Gu. He said he wants to see you."

Ruan Chao's fingers tightened a little.

It was indeed him.

He wanted to just ask him to leave.

But his mother always thought that he and Gu Xingyan were very close and were very good friends. If he said he didn't want to see him and wanted him to leave, his mother would definitely ask him the reason.

What is he going to say?

He said that Gu Xingyan dragged him into a small dark room, kissed him against his will, and bit his mouth and tongue. He was very angry and annoyed, so he didn’t want to pay attention to him... ?

Nguyen Chao felt suffocated.

He had been dawdling here for too long, and his mother's urging voice came from outside the door.

"Chao Chao, what are you busy with? Why don't you come and open the door?"

He replied: "Just open it."

Ruan Chao had a gloomy face. He slowly turned the doorknob and opened the door.

Seeing the face he least wanted to see right now.

As Ruan's mother was present, he couldn't lose his temper.

I could only speak to Gu Xingyan in a nice tone.

"Why can't we talk about it tomorrow at school? Why do you have to come to me now?"

Although he kept his tone calm, his words still had a sharp edge.

Ruan's mother also noticed the strange atmosphere between the two.

But she didn't understand the situation and it was not convenient for her to intervene in the problems between the children. If she spoke for either side, it would easily backfire. The best way to deal with it was to let them solve it themselves.

Ruan's mother quietly stepped back, leaving the two of them alone. When she turned the corner, she raised her voice and said, "Mom will go cut some fruit for you. Have a good chat and talk to each other. Don't quarrel."

The last sentence deliberately emphasized not to quarrel, and was obviously directed at Nguyen Dynasty.

Ruan Chao said "oh" in a long tone.

Only then did Ruan's mother turn around and leave with satisfaction.

…

The atmosphere calmed down again.

Ruan Chao lifted up his mask, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

Her light-colored eyes were full of vigilance and alertness towards Gu Xingyan, as if she was afraid that he would go crazy and rush over to her on the spot.

Ruan Chao carefully held onto half of the door panel. As long as the boy in front of him made the slightest move, he could close the door and escape. "I've made it clear enough on the phone. Why are you still looking for me?"

Gu Xingyan was silent for a moment and spoke in a low voice.

"Because I think it would be more sincere to apologize in person."

Although he does not regret what he did, if he had to do it again, he would still make the same choice.

In other words, he would kiss her without hesitation.

But he made Nguyen Dynasty unhappy.

He just did something wrong.

so……

"sorry."

An apology in person is indeed more impactful than an apology over the phone.

Because not only can you hear his voice, you can also see his expression.

I saw the cautious look he gave me, as if he was afraid that he was still angry.

Ruan Chao didn't want to admit that the resentment in his heart had indeed subsided a little.

"Then you promise me that you will never do this again."

He gave Gu Xingyan the steps.

As long as he is willing, he can be merciful and forgive him.

"...No." Those two words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, full of the owner's unwillingness, reluctance and uncompromising attitude.

It seemed that agreeing to this would be like asking for his life.

Ruan Chao thought he had misheard, "What did you say?"

"I said... can you change it? I'll agree to all the others except this one."

Ruan Chao sneered: "Then there is no room for negotiation."

Just as he was about to close the door, Gu Xingyan quickly inserted his arm in.

Fortunately, Ruan Chao reduced his force at the last moment, but the door panel still pressed heavily on Gu Xingyan's arm.

It hurts just looking at it.

But Gu Xingyan didn't even hum.

He just called Ruan Chao's name a little anxiously.

"Chao Chao..."

"Can you please not close the door yet? I have something else to say to you."

That's crazy.

There is no one crazier than Gu Xingyan.

He actually put his hand into the crack of the door like this... What did he want to do? Did he want to hurt himself to death?

Ruan Chao lowered his eyes and saw that the boy's arm had obvious red marks, which were slowly turning into purple as time passed.

He was still pulling at the door and spoke cautiously with a careful tone.

"Chao Chao, can I come in now?"

Maybe he is pretending to be pitiful, or maybe he is trying to gain sympathy, or more likely he wants to soften himself in this way... As long as he is let into the house, he might reveal his true face.

The Nguyen Dynasty assumed the worst of Gu Xingyan.

But he still leaned to the side to make room for him.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and then leave quickly." He urged with a frown.

"I'm sorry, Chao Chao, I lied to you."

I'm sorry again.

Nguyen Dynasty has almost become immune to Gu Xingyan's apologies.

He said angrily, "You really lied to me. You said it was just a show, but you kissed me directly. You have no integrity at all."

Gu Xingyan: "That's not what I lied to you about."

Ruan Chao's eyes widened in disbelief: "You lied to me about something else? How dare you?"

Nguyen Chao's surprise was no different from discovering that the honest puppy he had raised with great effort had actually learned to lie to his owner.

Gu Xingyan stared straight into Ruan Chao's eyes, as if he wanted to look directly into his heart. "The proposal I made to you was actually out of my own selfish motives."

"I just wanted to kiss you and want you to be with me...that's why I proposed that outrageous method to you."

Ruan Chao: “……?”

Gu Xingyan seemed to want to reach out and touch his eyes.

When his fingers were about to touch his eyelashes, he restrained himself and withdrew them.

"If you like to order others around, I can listen to you all my life and do whatever you tell me to do. If you like to role-play and like me to be mean to you, I can work towards that and try to become the person you like..."

"You're lying." Ruan Chao interrupted Gu Xingyan and calmly pointed out the loophole in his words, "You didn't listen to me at all. I told you to stop kissing, but you kept kissing me."

"This is different..." Gu Xingyan's ears turned a little red and he said with pursed lips.

Nguyen said confidently: "What's the difference? If you can't do it, don't bring it up."

Gu Xingyan: “…”

"Chao Chao, don't you understand yet?"

"I'm saying..."

"I like you."
