Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The Past
*
Sesame octopus, garlic vermicelli and small green dragon, blanched snails, salt-baked mantis shrimp, and finally, clean the shrimp, drain the water, fry in a pan until golden, and serve the crispy and fragrant fried shrimp hot.
All the cooked seafood was packed up and put back into the space. Gu Mengran and Liang Zhao were already feeling nauseous from the fumes. For a short period of time, neither of them wanted to smell the scent of seafood, fish or shrimp again.
The days are long and the nights are short. I worked until seven in the evening, but it was still light.
After eating too well and feeling too full at noon, Gu Mengran just cooked a pot of vegetarian noodles in the evening and brought out the leftovers to make do with the meal.
Cooking and eating, the days back on the Fengyi are so leisurely and free.
After the two of them spent the afternoon cleaning and tidying up, they hung a projection screen on the wall, installed blackout curtains on the windows, and stocked the refrigerator with fresh fruits and vegetables... The empty Feng Yi, which was originally like a model room, gradually gained a lively and warm atmosphere.
Time was not so tight, so Gu Mengran did not choose to travel day and night like before. It was important to sail during the day and anchor at night so that he could get enough rest.
Probably, perhaps, possibly... they are the few people in the world who can still live according to the pre-disaster rhythm of life.
The Fengyi came to a steady stop, the anchor was in the water, and Grandpa and Zheng Yijie returned to their room early.
Gu Mengran was not sleepy yet. After taking a shower, he put on his slippers, carried an air-conditioned quilt and an old laptop, and walked back to the living room. He curled up in a comfortable position and lay down on the chaise longue.
The USB drive was connected to the computer, and the computer was connected to the projector. Gu Mengran opened the folder and picked and chose. His eyes were dazzled before he found a movie that he was barely interested in from a bunch of movies and TV series.
But... he was just like those people who have to watch a movie with their meals. He spent a long time carefully selecting one, but the dragon logo just lit up and the meal was over. No, Gu Mengran felt sleepy, yawned tiredly, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The next day he would have to cook again as soon as he opened his eyes. Gu Mengran was reluctant to use his rest time to sleep, so he kept his eyelids open and continued watching. But before the prologue was over, footsteps were suddenly heard in the quiet corridor.
After taking a shower, Liang Zhao, wearing short home clothes, walked out of the corridor with a damp body. His wet hair was not wiped at all, and transparent water droplets were like pearls that had broken off the string, sliding down from the temples and gradually sinking into the collar along the protruding Adam's apple.
"Not sleepy yet?"
His thoughts drifted uncontrollably away until Liang Zhaodu walked to his side. Gu Mengran woke up as if from a dream. He turned up the air conditioner so that half of his face was blocked, and said "hmm" softly.
Liang Zhao said nothing more, picked up the mug on the table, and filled two cups of boiling water from the water dispenser next to him. He had no intention of leaving, and sat next to Gu Mengran naturally, holding the cup of water and watching the movie seriously.
The air conditioner was on very low setting and the living room was chilly.
Gu Mengran's attention was unconsciously focused on Liang Zhao. He would secretly glance at him from time to time and completely lost interest in watching the movie.
It was not because of anything else, it was simply because Liang Zhao's hair was not dried, and Gu Mengran was worried that he would catch a cold from the air conditioning. Of course, he could have turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, but Gu Mengran really liked the feeling of being covered with a blanket while the air conditioner was on.
So... do you want to invite Liang Zhao to cover the quilt with you?
The kitten scratched his heart, and Gu Mengran's thoughts were somewhat out of control. He instinctively forced himself to divert his attention and watch the movie seriously, but his wandering eyes stayed on the man's clear-cut profile.
"What's wrong?" Liang Zhao turned around suddenly and met Gu Mengran's gaze.
As if he was caught stealing, Gu Mengran panicked all of a sudden. His mouth was faster than his brain, and he almost blurted out: "No, I just wanted to ask if you were cold. This quilt is big, if you are cold, we can cover it together."
After saying this, Gu Mengran realized something was wrong. His face turned red all the way to the back of his ears, and he hurriedly tried to make amends: "No, I meant that you should blow dry your hair. You will catch a cold."
The more he explained, the worse it got, and Gu Mengran lost all confidence.
Seeing the smile gradually appearing in Liang Zhao's eyes, Gu Mengran gave up struggling, leaned back on the sofa and pretended to be dead, pretending that he had never said anything.
At this time, Liang Zhao put the mug back on the coffee table, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered, "Okay."
Gu Mengran thought he was responding to the second sentence and was about to go back to his room to blow dry his hair. However, the next moment, Liang Zhao lifted a corner of the quilt, came to Gu Mengran's side frankly and naturally, and curled up in the warm chaise longue with his knees bent.
The chaise longue is equivalent to a single bed. Two adult men lying side by side on it can be said to be very crowded. In the hot summer, everyone is wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and sharing a quilt, their bodies are inevitably touching each other.
Liang Zhao had a high body temperature, and when he came close to him, Gu Mengran felt as if he was scalded by boiling water, and subconsciously moved a little to the side.
But Liang Zhao didn't seem to notice, and even deliberately put his calf against Gu Mengran's feet, then pursed his lips and smiled softly, saying very considerately: "It's so cold, let me warm you up."
Cover up in the hot summer! Damn straight man.
Gu Mengran had something to hide and was blushing at Liang Zhao's action. At the same time, his thoughts drifted uncontrollably and he suddenly thought of his previous life.
Despite his broken leg and disfigured face, it was Liang Zhao's meticulous care that gave Gu Mengran hope of survival and helped him regain the will to live.
At that time they were even closer than they are now. Liang Zhao would bring him water and feed him, wash his face and body. They lived in the small cabin and it was natural for them to share the same bed and sleep with their feet touching.
Be it the suspension bridge effect or the straw for survival.
Gu Mengran couldn't control his emotions and he was attracted to Liang Zhao.
Gu Mengran was extremely inferior because of his mutilated limbs and hideous appearance. He did not have the courage to confess his feelings to Liang Zhao, but he was also unwilling to settle for the status quo and be a lifelong companion of Liang Zhao.
So, Gu Mengran in the gutter made a wrong decision.
He decided to seduce Liang Zhao to sleep with him.
They slept in the same bed, covered with the same quilt, and were both hot-blooded men. Gu Mengran saw the other person's reaction every morning.
The desire cannot be relieved for a long time, maybe it will be the same even if the lights are turned off.
He doesn't mind being a tool, he doesn't care whether Liang Zhao likes him or not. He wants to prove the value of his existence, and he desperately wants to be needed by Liang Zhao.
The rain continued to fall. On a quiet night, Gu Mengran shamelessly crawled into Liang Zhao's arms, using the excuse of being cold.
Liang Zhao must have been very sleepy at that time, and he did not refuse him. He even generously extended his arm, letting Gu Mengran rest his head on his arm, and held him tightly in his arms.
Gu Mengran, who had ulterior motives, would not sleep peacefully. He clung to Liang Zhao's body, turning over and scratching himself from time to time, as if he had fleas on his body, tossing and turning non-stop.
It is said that men understand men best. Gu Mengran thought he had done nothing. In the cabin where you could hear a pin drop, the even breathing sound gradually became heavier.
With their bodies close together, Gu Mengran could truly feel the changes in Liang Zhao.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, he put his arms around Liang Zhao's neck, moved closer and closer, and gave the man a tentative kiss on his Adam's apple which was rolling up and down.
Liang Zhao's body trembled noticeably, but he did not refuse. Gu Mengran became more and more bold, first kissing his cheeks, eyes, and nose, and finally, his kiss fell on Liang Zhao's tight lips.
The arm around his waist suddenly tightened, and Gu Mengran almost couldn't breathe. Without giving him a chance to regret, the slightly cold tip of the tongue pried open his lips and teeth, and the unique breath of Liang Zhao overwhelmed him.
Liang Zhao became the one who took the initiative. He kissed Gu Mengran eagerly, pinched Gu Mengran's chin to prevent him from escaping, bit him almost eagerly, and took him greedily.
It went more smoothly than expected. Gu Mengran tilted his chin up to respond to Liang Zhao's kiss. His hands were also restless, stroking Liang Zhao's chest, waist and abdomen, moving down little by little.
The initiative fell back into Gu Mengran's hands. Liang Zhao trembled violently, and his whole body immediately became extremely stiff. An unbearable groan escaped from his lips.
The extremely aggressive kiss came to an abrupt end. Liang Zhao pressed his forehead against Gu Mengran's. His cold voice was covered with a layer of mist, and he said in a low and deep voice, "Stop making trouble. Let's go to sleep, okay?"
"Not good." Gu Mengran tightened his palms, rubbed his thumbs, and leaned over to continue kissing him, with a desperate attitude, whispering against his lips: "Don't despise me, Liang Zhao, I am willing. If you really mind, you can treat me as someone else--"
These words seemed to wake Liang Zhao up, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
Without waiting for Gu Mengran to finish his words, Liang Zhao forcefully pried his hands apart and pushed him away irresistibly.
The few moments of beauty disappeared in the air, and before Gu Mengran could react, the hand that served as his pillow was ruthlessly pulled away. Liang Zhao even turned around and faced away from him.
An unknown amount of time had passed, so long that Gu Mengran felt his heart sink. Liang Zhao's hoarse voice rang out again: "You don't have to do this. I won't abandon you. You won't be someone else. You will always be you, Gu Mengran."
With a sour feeling rising in his nose, Gu Mengran stretched out his arms to hug Liang Zhao's back, muttering as if talking to himself: "I'm not afraid that you will abandon me, I just, just..."
The unspeakable love was stuck in his throat, but Gu Mengran just wouldn't let it out.
Liang Zhao sighed softly and asked, "Repay me?"
"No." Gu Mengran didn't know why Liang Zhao refused, nor did he know how to defend himself. After denying it, he mustered up the last bit of courage and asked shamelessly: "Then don't treat me as someone else, I am me, are you willing?"
After a brief silence, Liang Zhao said, "Go to sleep."
The taut strings suddenly broke, tears welled up in Gu Mengran's eyes, he looked at Liang Zhao in despair, and asked hysterically: "You still despise me, you despise me for being ugly, you despise me for being disabled! You clearly have feelings for me, I made you sick, right?"
Liang Zhao answered quickly: "Meng Ran, I never felt that way."
"Why on earth is that?!"
Gu Mengran stubbornly sought an answer. He firmly believed that the sudden calmness of the arrow on the string was because he spoke and spoiled Liang Zhao's mood.
Liang Zhao seemed to be at his wit's end, and he sighed helplessly. Then he slowly turned around, stared into Gu Mengran's eyes in the dim light, and said seriously: "I was not clear-headed just now, and I offended you. I'm sorry."
"You're not ugly, you're very beautiful. It's not your fault that you got hurt. Don't belittle yourself. It's just that this shouldn't happen between us. I've always treated you as a relative and a brother, and I... I'm heterosexual, I like girls."
