Chapter 26 Chapter 26
Gu Chi tilted his head slightly, as if to say: Is it strange that I don't know?
"This is a rose." Xi Bai explained hesitantly.
He didn't look like he was pretending, so he really didn't know.
But is there really anyone who doesn't know about roses? In what kind of environment did Gu Chi grow up?
Xi Bai looked at Gu Chi, who lowered his head to sniff for a while, then raised his hand to rub his nose.
He thought for a while, his eyes locked on Gu Chi's expression, and spoke slowly but clearly.
"Rose... represents love."
Gu Chi's movements paused obviously.
Xi Bai continued to narrate.
"Generally speaking, when couples give each other roses, it's to express their love... When non-couples give each other roses, it's to express their admiration and pursuit."
Gu Chi's pupils swayed slightly, and his long eyelashes drooped a little.
Xibai saw that the tip of Gu Chi's ear was obviously stained with some red.
"Then can I pick one?"
Gu Chi said softly, his eyes falling on the soft pistil, which was very affectionate.
But he was obviously not looking at the rose in front of him, but looking at some other figure through the bright and tempting flower cluster.
Xibai murmured silently.
"Hello, let me serve you two drinks."
The waiter's voice broke the atmosphere.
Xibai and Gu Chi looked away.
He hummed softly.
"Just leave it here."
In the following time, no one took the initiative to mention the roses, and the two sides seemed to be very "in sync", talking less than usual.
Xibai didn't know what Gu Chi was thinking.
But he had been thinking about only one thing.
Gu Chi picked roses...what was he doing?
Was he going to give them to someone?
And then before Gu Chi asked him if he could pick roses, he visibly blushed.
Who was he thinking of?
On the way back, it rarely rained in the north city in winter.
The drizzle brought an almost silent silence. In this weird and tacit silence, Xibai and Gu Chi tread on the water back to the dormitory.
Until Xibai finished taking a shower and sat in the room in a daze for more than half an hour, he still didn't find the answer to this question.
Instead, the arrival of a night rain was like the roots of a tree moistened by the rain. Countless different problems sprouted one after another like mushrooms, countless and chaotic.
Xi Bai carefully recalled what happened tonight.
He felt that he seemed to understand Gu Chi even less.
At first, Gu Chi's unresisting reaction to the "Couple Candlelight Dinner" made Xi Bai secretly happy.
He thought that this might be proof that Gu Chi also had a good impression of him.
But what happened later seemed to slap him in the face repeatedly, indicating that the previous things were all Xi Bai's own illusions.
Gu Chi doesn't know roses, let alone the love that roses represent;
Gu Chi has never heard of the violin, and is very surprised and incomprehensible about eating Western food with a knife and fork. He even crossed his arms in the bathroom and thought for a long time while looking at his automatic mobile phone.
But Gu Chi's temperament and dress on weekdays reveal a bit of nobility.
Xi Bai doesn't know what those boys like, but he knows that the sneakers of sports students are generally not cheap. He just searched it, and the limited edition pairs that Gu Chi put on the shoe rack at the door of the dormitory alone add up to more than five figures. He
has a wealthy family and noble temperament, but he doesn't know roses, doesn't understand Western musical instruments, and is a little confused about modern technology... Are there such divided people in the world?
Xi Bai felt that Gu Chi was like the people in the junior high school textbook "Peach Blossom Spring", who were unaware of the Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin, and isolated from the outside world.
Therefore, Xi Bai was not sure how intimate Gu Chi's actions towards him in the past few days were in the eyes of this eccentric guy.
When it comes to the breed of male college students, the feeling of being in love or having an affair with them can be said to be different for different types.
Liberal arts students feel like they are caught playing both sides and can still say with a smile, "Oh my god, baby, you actually found out. You are indeed a beautiful and smart girl. I, an intellectual, like you more and more."
Art students feel like they are dating a sister and it is possible that they will develop into a four-way love at any time.
Science students feel that what is on their necks is not a head, but an electronic component. In their eyes, the world seems to be only binary 1 and 0.
Engineering students may be thrown into the mud and pulled out again, and they may be cleaner than before they were thrown in.
As for sports students, there is basically one word: promiscuous.
They are not picky about sex, and they are not afraid of sex. Sports students can always be seen in various gossips. His daily behavior is just like a peacock spreading its feathers, and he would start dribbling and shooting without warning while walking on the road...
but Gu Chi doesn't fit into any of the above categories.
Xibai couldn't tell which category he belonged to. In terms of superior facial features, none of the above could compare to him; in terms of temperament, he might be more noble than most art students.
As for the kind of chaos of gym students, Xibai couldn't see any of it.
It's not that he has a filter.
But there is actual evidence.
What happened this morning came to his mind again.
When Xibai was helping him..., Gu Chi's expression could be said to be quite stiff.
Even stiffer than Xibai, who seldom solves problems by himself.
Now, after savoring it carefully, Xibai realized how much Gu Chi was a scene that could make people's hearts flutter.
The corners of his eyes were red, and his gaze was a little dazed, as if he was unfamiliar with his body's reactions and perceptions. His tall body was slightly hunched, and his straight nose was stained with a bit of drunkenness.
At the last moment, Gu Chi buried his head directly in Xi Bai's shoulder.
Muffled groans, gasps, and an ups and downs back, like a tortured large dog, but it clings to its owner's shoulder, unwilling to show any resistance.
And all this is just because of Xibai's hand.
The scalding turbidity seemed to return to the fingertips, and Xibai felt as if his hand was burned.
He shuddered suddenly, and his consciousness gradually returned to clarity.
Glancing at the balcony where the sound of water was still coming from, he slowly exhaled.
It seems that Gu Chi is really more innocent than he thought.
This makes Xibai even more distressed.
If it is so innocent, then what kind of feelings does Gu Chi have for him?
Xibai was very worried that Gu Chi had only treated him as a friend, or even a roommate, from the beginning to the end.
[The God of Calculation: Xibao, how is the progress! [Eat melon]]
Xibai thought it was just right, to ask Zhuang Suan what he thought.
He roughly described some of the ways in which he felt Gu Chi was very innocent - of course, he deleted the intimate details that he and Gu Chi could not agree with - in short, he hinted that he felt that he and Gu Chi were already in an ambiguous period, but he was worried that Gu Chi only regarded these as daily things between friends.
[The God of Calculation: It's pretty good! ]
[White:? ]
Is this pretty good?
He felt that his emotional future was bleak!
[The God of Calculation: ·Innocent people are easier to deceive, right! ]
[White:? ]
[The God of Fortune has withdrawn a message]
[The God of Fortune: Innocence is good! Be intimate with him more, be naughty with him, let him get used to your presence, and finally he can't leave you anymore! Get him! ]
Xibai: ...
[The God of Fortune: And innocence is good, you don't want to find someone who plays big, right? ]
In fact, the words of the banker are rough but true.
The sound of the balcony door being opened came, and Xibai put the phone upside down on the table.
Gu Chi passed by him and paused.
Turning back and meeting Xibai's eyes, he turned into a smiling big dog again.
"Xibai?"
Xibai's eyes swept across the wet hair on Gu Chi's forehead, which was a little messy, not as clean and clear as usual.
But his Adam's apple just rolled.
Seeing Xibai didn't say anything, Gu Chi tilted his head.
After blowing his hair dry, Gu Chi climbed onto the bed. After all, he was a large dog, so he made quite a lot of noise.
When Xibai raised his head, his eyes met a pair of clear puppy eyes.
Gu Chi has deep facial features, a high nose bridge, and clear bone angularity, but it is this pair of double-eyes that make his temperament not so European and American, but full of Chinese flavor.
Thinking of Gu Chi's abnormal and naive performance tonight.
Could Gu Chi really be a nobleman raised in a secluded mansion in the mountains?
Xibai followed his thoughts and thought that if Gu Chi wore a robe from ancient times, it would be very suitable.
Wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, he looks like a prime minister who makes love and handles the court; if he wears iron armor, he has the momentum of galloping on the battlefield and defeating thousands of troops... both are suitable.
After all, Gu Chi's aura is still very strong.
Then Xibai saw Gu Chi leaning to the side and moving a little towards the wall.
And then moved a little more.
There was a space just big enough for him to sleep.
Like a large dog rubbing against the carpet.
Xibai:...
Forget it, I'd better not make up my mind in the future.
Maybe Xibai was shocked by the small gap between his imagination and reality.
When he turned off the lights and climbed onto the bed, his expression was a little more tense than normal, and after lying down, he turned his back to Gu Chi.
The dormitory remained silent and dark for a while.
Until Xibai realized that the familiar scalding body temperature was not as close as it had been for dozens of nights in the past two months.
Was it because the bed had gotten bigger?
He turned around belatedly and saw Gu Chi leaning against the wall in the darkness, staring at him.
The distance between them was almost enough for another Xibai.
Xibai was silent for a while.
"There's still room."
Gu Chi pondered over these four simple words and immediately understood what they meant.
The pair of puppy eyes in the darkness immediately brightened up a bit, so bright that Xibai didn't dare to look directly at them.
As soon as he turned his back, he felt his back burning.
It was like a stove was stuck in his back, and the butterfly bones on both sides of his spine were hit by a soft and undulating piece.
It was the pectoral muscles.
Xibai: ...
The cool fragrance of pine wood enters his nose with his breath. Xibai crosses his legs and curls up his body instinctively.
With his fingers bent and placed on the tip of his nose, Xibai presses the bridge of his nose again.
Too close.
In the dim room, the burning body temperature from the back and the familiar and heart-speeding fragrance.
Xibai has no doubt that as long as he turns around,
his head will be buried in Gu Chi's chest muscles.
Of course he likes it.
How can he not like the boy he likes getting so close to him.
But if this goes on, he won't be able to sleep!
Xibai thought for a long time about how to talk to Gu Chi.
After all, he was the one who took the initiative to let others get closer.
Moreover, Xibai didn't want Gu Chi to misunderstand that he didn't want to get close to him.
After all the troubles, Xi Bai slowly turned around.
He turned and moved out of the bed, trying not to fall into the chest muscles.
But the opposite happened.
When Xibai's shoulder hit the soft but strong chest muscles, he clearly heard the "thumping" sound of his heartbeat.
But before his brain could catch up with reality,
another sentence rang in his ears.
"Xibai... are you angry?"
Xibai was stunned.
Soon, he took a breath and his heartbeat accelerated again.
But this time it was not because of ambiguity or shyness.
Because he suddenly realized: Gu Chi, clearly did not speak!
