Gu Fei suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the corner of his lips.
His expression remained calm and composed, but Lin Qingyan, sitting next to him, was not so calm. Her fair cheeks immediately flushed with a blush of embarrassment, and in just two seconds, a thousand thoughts flashed through her mind.
Gu Fei just said he'd repay him in another way, and now he's doing this? Is he suggesting he kiss him? Is this really okay? Why is Gu Fei suddenly doing this? It's so sudden!
Gu Fei looked at the boy's strange expression and was puzzled. He raised his hand and pointed to the corner of his lips again, indicating that there was a little cake crumb on his lips.
Seeing the man's actions, Lin Qingyan nervously gripped the seams of his trousers, his heart pounding wildly as if it were about to burst out of his body. He gritted his teeth as if making a decision, then leaned over and quickly kissed the corner of the man's lips.
A kiss as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, a gentle touch before it was moved away.
"..."
The air suddenly fell silent, so quiet that they could hear each other's soft breathing. A subtle, ambiguous atmosphere permeated the silence. Lin Qingyan lowered his eyes, his palms sweating, and he could only hear the pounding of his own heart.
He couldn't help but steal a glance at Gu Fei's reaction. The man sat upright, his body still seemed a little stiff, his thin lips slightly pursed, showing no reaction.
Lin Qingyan felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Gu Fei didn't seem to like it... His excited mood immediately sank, and his cheeks burned with shame and panic.
"I...I'm sorry, I have other things to do, so I'll head back now." His voice was panicked. He got up to leave, but before he could take a single step, his wrist was grabbed.
Gu Fei finally reacted. He gripped the boy's slender wrist gently, his palm warm, and his deep, magnetic voice seemed to carry a tingling electric current, "Yan Yan, where are you going?"
From his gaze, he could see the boy's ears, white with a rosy tint, seemingly about to bleed, like exquisitely crafted works of art. The man's calm eyes were deep, yet held an indescribable emotion. He spoke softly, "Sit down first."
Lin Qingyan wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground, but she forced herself to sit down again, her eyes still lowered, not daring to look up at the man's face, her eyelashes trembling slightly with unease.
A low laugh suddenly reached my ears.
Gu Fei stared intently at the boy in front of her, her tone seemingly tinged with amusement and a hint of teasing: "Yan Yan, you were the one who kissed me first, so why are you the one who's shy?"
Lin Qingyan: "I...I didn't."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man gently pinched his chin, forcing him to raise his head and meet the man's deep eyes. He could feel the man's fingertips gently wiping the corner of his lips.
"..."
When he saw the cake crumbs on Gu Fei's fingers, he felt like dying. Gu Fei's action just now wasn't an invitation to kiss him, but a reminder that there were cake crumbs on his lips!
...He completely misunderstood.
Seeing Lin Qingyan's embarrassed expression, Gu Fei's mood improved even more, and he continued to tease him mischievously, "So this is how Yan Yan repays his debts? Hmm?"
Lin Qingyan was filled with shame and indignation, especially when he looked at the man's handsome and mature face up close. He couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I know that when I saw what you did just now, I thought you wanted me to repay you like that."
Gu Fei: "Hmm? What?"
Lin Qingyan: "..."
He was too ashamed to continue.
He was about to split open on the spot.
He huddled up like an ostrich.
Gu Fei subtly curled his lips, watching the boy's every move with great interest. He thought to himself, "So cute, so well-behaved," but said casually, "So this is the kind of person Fei-ge is in Yan Yan's heart."
"No!" Now that things had come to this, Lin Qingyan decided to give up entirely. He buried his face in his hands and said in a muffled voice, "You are a gentleman. It was my ulterior motives that led me to misunderstand you. I'm sorry! You can scold me if you want!"
...
After he finished speaking, the surrounding air fell silent once again.
Lin Qingyan's heart was pounding. She couldn't help but spread her fingers and secretly observe Gu Fei's reaction through the gaps between them. Unexpectedly, she met his dark and deep eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
He forgot to react until Gu Fei grasped his wrist and gently removed his hand from his face.
Gu Fei looked at the boy in front of him and said, "Yan Yan, you're wrong."
"I am not a gentleman."
Lin Qingyan lost his ability to think. His clear peach blossom eyes widened slightly as he stared blankly at him, like a little orange cat at home. Gu Fei couldn't help but reach out and touch his hair, and smiled.
He said, "You'll find out later."
Lin Qingyan nodded again, looking bewildered.
"Let's eat."
"Um……"
And so, this farcical incident was inexplicably swept under the rug, at least on the surface.
Lin Qingyan cooked ordinary home-style dishes, three dishes and a soup. His cooking skills were neither good nor bad.
He learned to cook when he was around ten years old. Before Zhou Yuelan was home, he was the one who cooked and took care of his younger brother. Lin Jianxiang would never take care of them.
Later, he worked away from home to earn money, and he often cooked for himself, which saved him money compared to eating out. He usually cooked just one dish, which took care of both lunch and dinner. His daily food expenses were usually no more than ten yuan.
I don't need it to be delicious, just enough to fill my stomach.
Because of what had just happened, Lin Qingyan was too embarrassed to look at Gu Fei and just kept her head down eating, not even knowing what she was eating.
Gu Fei didn't have the habit of talking while eating. His movements and demeanor were as natural and elegant as usual. Although he didn't have an appetite and the food didn't taste as good as what the hotel chef made, he still ate quite a lot.
Because Lin Qingyan made it herself.
After finishing lunch, Lin Qingyan's chaotic mind finally calmed down, but he still felt a little uncomfortable staying there. He immediately made an excuse to leave: "Brother Fei, I'll go back first then, so as not to disturb your work."
Gu Fei: "I won't disturb you, it's lunch break time now."
Lin Qingyan opened her mouth, but no words came out.
The man in front of her shifted to a more comfortable position on the sofa, his long legs, encased in his suit fabric, casually crossed over each other, and the top button of his shirt undone. He was a far cry from his usual upright and serious demeanor, now appearing relaxed and languid.
His eyelids were half-closed, and he gently pinched the space between his eyebrows. His handsome features were shrouded in fatigue, and even his domineering aura had diminished considerably.
Lin Qingyan rarely saw Gu Fei in this state.
His heart softened suddenly. After thinking for a moment, he walked behind Gu Fei, raised his hand and placed it on the man's shoulder, gently kneading it through the fabric with a slightly awkward touch.
Gu Fei closed his eyes, quietly feeling the pressure of the boy's hands on his shoulders. It was a little itchy and a little numb. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and his voice was lazy and deep, "Is this also Yan Yan's way of repaying?"
Lin Qingyan could only force a "hmm" and ask, "How are you feeling? Are you comfortable?"
Gu Fei: "Yes, very good."
But he still preferred the previous method.
Gu Fei added in his mind.
Ten minutes later, Lin Qingyan lay on the bed in the lounge of the president's office of the Gu Group, still somewhat doubting her life. However, the man lying next to her had already closed his eyes and was breathing evenly.
Why did he agree to take a nap with Gu Fei?
Just as he was struggling with this, an arm suddenly came across his waist, and his back pressed against a warm, firm chest. The man's hot breath sprayed onto the back of his neck, making his ear tips burn.
This was the second time Gu Fei had held him while he slept. The first time was because Gu Fei was drunk, and the second time... Lin Qingyan didn't dare to move. He thought Gu Fei must be asleep now, and this was an unconscious action.
Not wanting to disturb the man's rest, he obediently let himself be held, not daring to make any noise. Only his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his thin, frail body curled up slightly, looking like he was at the mercy of others, appearing exceptionally well-behaved.
Gu Fei silently opened his eyes, his gaze first falling on the boy's fair nape. His breath sprayed onto it, and that fair skin even had a slight blush, making it very sensitive.
The man silently curled his lips into a smile, then closed his eyes and truly fell asleep.
When Gu Fei woke up again, it was two hours later. Lin Qingyan was still in his arms, lying with his back to him in the same position. The child was so well-behaved, not even moving when he was asleep.
Gu Fei couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the corner of his lips, savoring the fleeting kiss in his mind. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.
After a moment of silence, as if suddenly remembering something, he carefully raised his hand, grabbed a strand of the boy's hair, and gently pulled it out.
...
"Assistant Yang, here are DNA samples from three people. I'd appreciate it if you could personally go to the hospital to have a paternity test done." Gu Fei handed two small sealed bags to Yang Jing. One of the bags contained two strands of hair, one long and one short. "These are from the parents."
The other bag contained the hair he had just plucked from Lin Qingyan's head. "This is the child's."
Yang Jing took the bag with some curiosity. Who was Master Gu going to do a paternity test for? He just had to do what his superior told him to do, so of course he wouldn't ask. "Okay, Master Gu, I'll go now."
"Um."
The DNA samples of Lin Jianxiang and Zhou Yuelan were secretly collected by someone a few days ago, but Gu Fei was away on a business trip and only had time to deal with the matter today after returning.
We'll find out the outcome soon.
