Chapter 31 Chapter 31 They will have a very long time...

Gu Xingyan came out of the bathroom quickly.

With a cool feeling and the fragrance of shower gel on her body, she moved closer to Ruan Chao.

The water on his hair dripped onto Ruan Chao's arms, making him shiver all over.

Ruan Chao pushed his face away with disgust, not wanting him to get close to him.

He insisted on taking a cold shower in the middle of winter. He deserved to catch a cold.

Although he thought so, Ruan Chao couldn't help but remind him.

"Your hair is so wet, why don't you blow dry it?"

Gu Xingyan obediently went to the cupboard and found the hair dryer.

After plugging it in, he handed the hair dryer to Nguyen Chao, wanting him to blow dry his hair for him.

Ruan Chao raised his eyebrows: "Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? Can't you see that I'm angry?"

He pulled his collar down a little, allowing Gu Xingyan to see the large, obvious red mark on his collarbone.

Ruan Chao said bluntly: "You made me like this, and you still want me to blow your hair. You are just dreaming."

Gu Xingyan's gaze fell on Ruan Chao's neck, and the color of his eyes changed slightly. It was unknown what he was thinking of, and his body became slightly stiff.

Before 'restarting', he restrainedly looked away and whispered, "You can also leave marks on me, I don't mind."

???

You don't mind getting on yet?

Why don't you ask me if I mind?

Ruan Chaoxia wanted to speak up to him subconsciously, but just as he was about to say the angry words, he swallowed them back.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of a brilliant idea.

He waved to Gu Xingyan, the way he would greet a kitten or a puppy, with his palm facing upward and his four fingers slightly bent.

"Come here." The voice was also very soft.

Gu Xingyan looked forward again with eager eyes.

Nguyen Chao pushed him down on the sofa, sat on his waist, and then pulled down his clothes by the collar.

Gu Xingyan's skin was very white and delicate, but when Ruan Chao put his hand on his neck, there was still a noticeable color difference.

His fingers moved from left to right, and then slowly moved upwards from the bottom, as if looking for a good position to lower his mouth.

Seeing the boy's Adam's apple moving slightly, Ruan Chao's eyes lit up, and he finally found a satisfactory place.

He took a big bite.

Ruan Chao used some strength, not like Gu Xingyan, who used the method of kissing and licking.

He clearly wanted to hurt him, to make him remember today's lesson, to see if he dared to kiss him so hard in the future...

A low groan escaped from the boy's throat...

Ruan Chao thought he was in pain and closed his mouth with satisfaction.

There were a few small teeth marks on it, two of which were sunken deep, with a slightly red mark that slid up slightly with the movement of the Adam's apple...

Ruan Chao paused slightly, then licked it again as if possessed by a demon.

Gu Xingyan stretched out his hand and grabbed Ruan Chao's waist... He used a lot of force, as if he wanted to pull him down.

Sensing danger, Ruan Chao immediately sat up straight and threatened: "If you touch me again, I will break up with you."

Gu Xingyan really didn't dare to move anymore...

Because of his suppressed emotions, a thin layer of mist appeared in his eyes. His pupils, which were much darker than ink, looked inexplicably permeable...

His panting became heavier. "Why do you like biting people so much?"

Ruan Chao said confidently: "It's because you did something wrong, you deserve to be bitten."

He didn't feel proud for long, as he was flipped over by the boy who was pinned down under him.

The world turned upside down in an instant.

Nguyen Chao's back fell on the soft sofa cushion.

A patch of tiny spots appeared before my eyes.

Ruan Chao's palm was placed on Gu Xingyan's chest.

Want to push a little distance.

But the burn caused my fingertips to tremble slightly.

I don't know when it started, but the boy's skin, which had been washed by cool water, began to feel hot again.

And this weekend is still very long.

………

After the final exams, it is the long-awaited winter vacation.

Because the college entrance examination is coming soon, this holiday is only a short fifteen days.

From the first day of the holiday, Gu Xingyan's parents called him and kept urging him to go home.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally boarded a plane back to Beijing on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

Nguyen Chao saw him off at the airport.

He wrapped himself up like a fur ball again, leaving only a pair of clear, light-colored eyes exposed, staring at Gu Xingyan without blinking.

"You didn't leave anything behind, did you?"

"……no."

The radio broadcast a reminder urging people to board the plane.

Gu Xingyan pulled his scarf down a little, then leaned over and kissed him amid the noisy noise.

The kiss was fleeting and soft.

"I'll be back in two days," he said.

There were people walking back and forth with suitcases everywhere, and I didn't know if anyone saw it.

Ruan Chao pursed his lips, a little shy.

He quickly pulled the scarf back to its original position, covering his blushing face.

"It doesn't matter if you stay a few more days. They... must miss you very much."

Gu Xingyan did not comment.

Ruan Chao urged him again: "Go quickly."

Gu Xingyan looked back every three steps.

Nguyen Chao waved goodbye to him.

The roar of the plane rang out, and after a short run-up, it rushed into the blue sky like a huge bird spreading its white wings.

Then it slowly disappeared at the end of the sky.

Ruan Chao took out his mobile phone, found the pinned contact, and sent a message.

"Have a safe trip."

…

Gu Xingyan came back soon.

It was the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the falling snow, with its pure white color, knocked on the door of Nguyen Chao's house.

Mom and Dad went out to enjoy their own world, and Ruan Chao was the only one left at home.

When he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was his parents coming back, so he ran over in his slippers and opened the door.

…and saw someone I didn’t expect.

Most of the snow on Gu Xingyan's head had melted, leaving only a little white crystal in his hair.

He seemed to have come running.

The breathing sounded a little disordered.

I don't know if it was snow water or sweat, but it was flowing down his cheeks.

Ruan Chao gripped the door handle tightly: "You..."

Gu Xingyan's clothes were a little wet, so he didn't dare to hug Ruan Chao.

She just restrained herself and stretched out her fingers to pinch his face.

Because Ruan Chao's skin was very tender, he did not dare to use too much force. Rather than pinching it, he rubbed it very gently, with a hint of tenderness.

"Chao Chao, do you miss me?"

To be fair, the Nguyen Dynasty didn't miss him much, as he was only away for four days.

And they have video calls every day, and they can see each other's faces clearly through the square screen.

——Nguyen Chao’s thoughts had no place to go.

There was a hint of expectation in the boy's eyes, as if he was hoping to hear the answer he wanted from Ruan Chao.

Ruan Chao still said what he wanted and said he missed him.

There was a clear smile spreading in his eyes, and the light in his pupils was rippling.

He whispered, "I miss you, too."

…

After the college entrance examination, they were admitted to the same university.

At the graduation party, Chen Feng was drunk and burping as he spoke.

"I've noticed that something is wrong between you two...hiccup...when did you start hooking up with each other...hiccup...quickly, tell me the truth."

He was drunk and hooked Ruan Chao's shoulder.

Nguyen Chao pushed him aside with disgust.

Chen Feng took the opportunity to lie down on the table and started talking nonsense.

"I really didn't expect that... You obviously disliked him so much before, and you even photoshopped a bunch of chat records... What is this? Isn't it true that enemies will always come together..."

Ruan Chao looked at Chen Feng with surprise.

He actually knew that he had Photoshopped the disgusting chat record, and he had always thought that he was kept in the dark...but he didn't expect that he knew everything.

Ruan Chao pursed his lips, pulled out the arm that was pressed down on Chen Feng, and adjusted him into a comfortable position.

"Ruan Chao..." Chen Feng grabbed his wrist and said incoherently under the influence of alcohol, "If you two really get married, don't forget to give me wedding candy. I am the matchmaker between you two."

What matchmaker?

Ruan Chao was curious and amused, so he took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his hand.

"I'll give you the wedding candy in advance."

Chen Feng didn't say anything else, apparently he had fallen asleep.

Gu Xingyan walked over from a distance.

Seeing Chen Feng pestering Ruan Chao, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he looked a little unhappy.

"He's drunk. Stay away from him. Be careful he might vomit on you."

"He won't vomit, he's asleep."

Gu Xingyan said indifferently, "Oh," and then asked, "What did he just say to you?"

Chen Feng had always disliked him, and it was hard for him not to suspect that he would say bad things about him to Ruan Chao when he was away, and maybe even secretly encourage them to break up.

Although Gu Xingyan tried hard to pretend that he didn't care, Ruan Chao could tell what he was thinking. He narrowed his eyes and teased him deliberately: "He said that we are not suitable for each other and it is better to break up as soon as possible."

Gu Xingyan silently clenched his fists.

Ruan Chao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I was just kidding you, he didn't say that."

The two of them were talking quite loudly, waking up Chen Feng.

He held the lollipop in his hand, stood up unsteadily, slammed the table and shouted at Gu Xingyan.

"You gave me all the Ruan Dynasty's wedding candies. What about yours? Why haven't you given me any yet? Are you trying to shirk your debt?"

So they want wedding candy...that's fine.

Gu Xingyan relaxed his brows and said, "I'll wholesale a truckload for you tomorrow."

…

【Congratulations to the host, mission accomplished. 】

【Mission level assessment: A-level.】

[Points are being calculated - 13,500 points have been accumulated.]

When the system prompt sounded, Ruan Chao was holding a glass of juice and sipping it in small sips.

Perhaps it was because he left a deep impression on Gu Xingyan the last time he got drunk, so this time, Gu Xingyan controlled him and did not let him drink.

System: [Our first mission is over. You did a great job. The main system did not deduct our points.]

System: [So Chaochao, do you want to leave this world now? ]

Ruan Chao clenched the cup in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his lips slowly disappeared.

The mission was concluded so suddenly that he was not prepared at all.

Why so fast?

His heart was in a state of confusion for a moment, and he had no idea what choice to make.

Gu Xingyan looked over as if he had noticed something.

The boy's eyes were gentle and calm, and the slightly dim light left a thin shadow under his eyelids.

He thought that the Nguyen Dynasty did not like this kind of atmosphere and did not want to stay here any longer.

"Want to go home? Chao Chao."

Ruan Chao shook his head.

Gu Xingyan touched his face, but Ruan Chao didn't respond. He just stared at him blankly.

He looked helpless, as if he had no way to deal with Nguyen Dynasty at all, and handed his wine glass to him.

"Drink it," he said, "but only a little."

Ruan Chao stared at the red wine in the glass.

He seemed to be thinking of a lot of things, yet seemed to be thinking of nothing.

Just in a daze.

After a while, he said.

[System, I choose...]

【Stay.】

The system seemed to have anticipated this answer and responded readily: [OK.]

[Then I will go back to the main world first. When the character node is about to die, I will come to pick you up. ]

【Chao Chao, goodbye.】

【I hope you will be happy here and have a happy and fulfilling life. 】

[Drip drip drip…]

[The system is temporarily out of service at 0606. Please leave a message if you have any questions.]

…

The system that had always been with him was gone.

Ruan Chao felt a lump in his throat and fell into Gu Xingyan's arms.

He rubbed the boy's neck like a clingy kitten, then hugged his waist.

He said gloomily: "Gu Xingyan, you have to be nicer to me."

"No, it has to be super good..."

"Otherwise, I don't like you."

Gu Xingyan touched his head lovingly and said "OK".

…

Outside the window, the cicadas chirp incessantly.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled and dim shadows...all of this indicates the arrival of summer.

They would spend countless summers together.

There will be a very long time that seems to have no end.

Not even death can separate them.
