Chapter 32 Little Fool
When his fingertips gently touched the fifth pair of hands.
A familiar warmth came from where the fingertips touched.
These hands are warm, dry, with distinct joints and a few thin calluses on the fingertips from holding a pen and turning pages for a long time.
Lin Muci placed the back of his hand against the palms of these hands and slid it slowly over and over again.
That’s right, it’s Doctor Gu’s hand.
It's definitely him.
“It’s this one!”
Lin Muci's voice was extremely firm.
"Let's reveal the answer - Congratulations, Mr. Lin! Absolutely correct!"
The audience erupted in applause and cheers louder than ever before.
Su Wanqing stamped her feet in excitement and shouted, "I knew it! I knew it! The touch of soulmates can never be wrong! Lock them up for me, morning and night!"
Lin Muci took off his blindfold, his cheeks burning.
He wanted to pull his hand back, but found that Gu Chaoyu did not let go immediately.
Instead, she gently rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb.
The movement was very light, with a little bit of tickling.
Gu Chaoyu moved closer to him and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "I knew you could find me, Mu Ci is awesome!"
[Lin Muci: Ahh ...
"Next, please..."
At the end of the competition, Lin Muci and Gu Chaoyu won the final championship with undisputed full marks.
The restaurant manager personally came on stage and presented them with the awards.
A black and gold card and a beautifully designed gift certificate.
"Congratulations, both of you! This is our hotel's Super VIP card. From now on, you'll both enjoy a 20% discount on your purchases! Also, this is a gift certificate for our top-tier 'Starry Sky Realm' couple's SPA package!"
The manager enthusiastically introduced, "Our hotel's Starry Sky SPA is a private space designed specifically for couples and partners. It can help couples relax and enhance their relationship! I wish you two a pleasant experience!"
[Couple? Partner?]
【But we are not yet? 】
【But, it should be coming soon, right? ! ! 】
After stepping down from the stage, Su Wanqing snatched the SPA voucher and looked at it over and over again, her eyes shining and her mouth wide open.
"God help me! God help me! Brother, this is a great opportunity for you and Dr. Gu to warm up their relationship! You must go! Go tomorrow!"
Lin Muci was so embarrassed that he wanted to cover her mouth.
At this time, Zhou Yang walked to Su Wanqing.
He looked at her, and for once he didn't argue, he just said sincerely:
"Actually... the answer you wrote for the last question in the first round is what I regret the most."
Su Wanqing's body stiffened. She didn't look back, but the hand holding the SPA coupon tightened unconsciously.
Amidst the noise and cheers, Gu Chaoyu stuffed the black and gold "Super VIP" card into Lin Muci's hand.
Then, he leaned close to Lin Muci's ear and said word by word in that foul voice:
"I am very satisfied with the level of understanding today."
"but……"
"You're only half right about my ideal type."
"Besides being kind, cute, enthusiastic and energetic, you also have to be an online writer!"
What did he say?
[He said, his ideal type must also be an online writer?]
【He...what does he mean?】
What on earth does he mean?
[I'm probably the only one in his life who meets this condition, right?!]
Lin Muci felt like he was floating in the clouds, with cotton under his feet, feeling light and unreal to the extreme.
He didn't even remember how he walked back to his room.
The surrounding noise, the tug-of-war between Su Wanqing and Zhou Yang, and the host's voice all became blurred background noise.
In his world, the only thing left was Gu Chaoyu's whisper.
"drop--"
The sound of the room card swiping open the smart door brought Lin Muci back to his senses.
Gu Chaoyu pushed open the door and stepped aside to let him in first.
Only the warm light at the entrance was on in the room, stretching the two people's shadows very long and overlapping each other.
An ambiguous atmosphere ferments in the quiet air.
Lin Muci stood in the middle of the room, unable to calm down for a long time.
He could feel Gu Chaoyu's gaze.
[Ask! Or don’t ask!]
[The current atmosphere is simply the perfect time, place, and people! ]
What if...what if I'm just being overly sentimental? Is he just joking?
[Impossible! He's not the type to joke like that!]
[He's already said this! If you don't ask me, you'd be a fool!]
[Go, Lin Muci! Happiness is right before your eyes! If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!]
After a struggle between his conscience and his desires, Lin Muci suddenly turned around.
He looked at Gu Chaoyu and mustered up the greatest courage in his life.
"Gu Chaoyu."
For the first time, he called his name without any title.
Gu Chaoyu's body seemed to stiffen for a moment. He did not respond, but just looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.
"You..." Lin Muci took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and asked loudly as if he had given up, "Do you like me?"
The moment he asked the question, Lin Muci felt like all the strength in his body had been drained away.
He nervously clutched the corner of his clothes, not daring to look into Gu Chaoyu's eyes, his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat.
[Amazing! Lin Muci, you finally spoke up. If you hadn't asked, I'd have suffocated to death! ]
How would he answer?
Will he say yes?
[Or will you say "You think too much"? ]
If he denies it, we can't even be friends anymore, right?
Time seems to be infinitely stretched at this moment.
Every second of silence is torture.
Just when Lin Muci was about to be drowned by his own wild thoughts, a chuckle with a hint of helplessness and pampering sounded in the room.
Lin Muci looked up suddenly.
He found that Gu Chaoyu was looking at him gently, smiling, and walking towards him step by step.
He walked in front of Lin Muci and stopped.
Then, he raised his hand and gently rubbed Lin Muci's messy hair with his warm fingertips, and said lovingly:
"You just noticed it."
"Little fool."
After getting a positive answer, Lin Muci was shocked. Yes, you read that right, brilliant fireworks exploded in Lin Muci's mind!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
He admitted it! He really admitted it!
【He said I just saw it! 】
[He also called me... a little fool! ]
[Oh my god! What a truly adoring name! I'm gone! I died right here! I ascended to heaven right here!]
Under the huge impact of joy, Lin Muci stood there stupidly, with the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably. He felt that his whole body was about to melt in Gu Chaoyu's tenderness.
happy!
So happy!
After a huge feeling of happiness, a trace of doubt quietly emerged.
