Chapter 45 Safeword
Lin Muci was completely dejected.
He felt like a player with a God's perspective, and all his actions and thoughts were exposed to the other party.
This made him feel distressed and a little unbalanced.
Why is he the only one who is "transparent"?
That night, Gu Chaoyu gave him a relaxing massage as usual.
Lin Muci, however, dodged away, contrary to his usual behavior.
He hugged his knees and sat sullenly in the corner of the sofa.
"Gu Chaoyu."
"Um?"
"Could you please... stop listening to what I'm thinking?"
He mustered up the courage to speak his mind.
"I feel like a transparent person, without any secrets at all."
"This is... unfair."
This was the first time he got angry with Gu Chaoyu.
He hopes to have his own "spiritual space".
Gu Chaoyu was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Lin Muci's aggrieved expression and immediately realized his own problem.
He walked over, sat down next to Lin Muci, and looked at him seriously.
"I'm sorry, Mu Ci."
"I ignored your feelings."
"I just... love listening to your inner voice so much, because you are so real and cute in it."
"But I forgot that everyone needs their own space."
Gu Chaoyu held his hand and said, "I will learn to control my abilities and learn not to actively 'listen'."
"Unless, that's when you need me to listen."
Lin Muci raised his head and looked into his sincere eyes. The slight awkwardness in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Then... let's come up with a code?" he suggested.
"signal?"
"Yeah! It's the 'safe word'!" Lin Muci's online writer imagination started working again, "When I don't want you to hear it, I will silently recite this word in my mind."
"As soon as you 'hear' this word, you must immediately 'turn off' your ability!"
Gu Chaoyu was amused by his novel idea.
"good."
"So what's our 'safe word' called?"
Lin Muci thought about it and his eyes lit up.
"It's called... Fat Orange rules the world!"
Although this word sounds a bit childish, it is still quite effective. At least it is eye-catching. Gu Chaoyu will stop listening once he hears it.
He could finally let loose and think of those embarrassing plots in his mind without worrying about being caught on the spot.
weekend.
Lin Muci had nothing to do, so he followed Gu Chaoyu to his traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
The clinic is not big, decorated in a new Chinese style, clean and elegant, filled with a faint herbal aroma.
Lin Muci was typing in the lounge inside, while Gu Chaoyu was seeing patients outside.
Suddenly, there was a loud cry from outside.
"I don't want a needle! I don't want a needle! Uwaaaaaaaaa——"
It was the voice of a little girl, crying heart-wrenchingly.
"Little sister, believe your uncle. It won't hurt. It's just like a mosquito bite." Gu Chaoyu coaxed her patiently.
"I don't believe it! Mosquito bites itch! Needle pricks hurt! My brother said you adults are all liars! Woo wa wa wa—"
The little girl's logic was clear and her crying became louder.
Lin Muci was listening in the inner room and felt anxious as well.
He stuck his head out and looked outside quietly.
I saw a little girl with pigtails hugging her mother's thighs tightly, her face red from crying.
Gu Chaoyu was holding a thin silver needle, not knowing where to start, and was thinking about how to let the little girl receive acupuncture treatment.
【what to do……】
[This isn't going to work...]
Lin Muci looked at the little girl and an idea flashed in his mind.
He concentrated his mind, thinking about the appearance of the orange cat.
【Change! 】
"Bang!"
The next second, a chubby orange cat came out from the crack of the lounge door.
It walked to the little girl's feet with an elegant cat step.
Then, he sat down and tilted his head.
"Meow?"
A head tilt to kill cute,
Make the little girl stop crying.
She lowered her head and followed the meowing sound to see the furry uninvited guest at her feet.
Seeing that she stopped crying, Lin Xiaomao immediately took advantage of the situation and continued to attack her.
He simply turned over and lay on the ground with his four legs up in the air, exposing his soft belly to the little girl and rolling around to act cute.
The little girl's attention was completely attracted by this coquettish cat.
She widened her eyes, which were still filled with tears, and carefully reached out her hand to touch Lin Xiaomiao's belly.
"So... so soft..."
Gu Chaoyu seized the opportunity and quickly inserted an acupuncture needle into the little girl's acupuncture point.
By the time the little girl reacted, the injection was already complete.
"Huh? It really doesn't hurt?"
She touched her arm, her face full of disbelief.
"Little sister, uncle didn't lie to you, did he? Wait another 15 minutes and then the needle will be removed. During this time, it's best to lie in bed and don't move around!"
After the little girl found out that the doctor did not lie to her, she lay down on the bed obediently.
15 minutes later,
Gu Chaoyu retracted the silver needle, breathed a sigh of relief, and cast an approving look at Lin Xiaomao lying on the ground.
For the first time, Lin Muci discovered that his ability, besides being convenient for sneaking in and peeping (no) and being cute, actually had such a great positive effect.
A small sense of pride arose in his heart.
After seeing the little girl and her mother off, Gu Chaoyu closed the door of the clinic.
He bent down and picked up Lin Xiaomao, who was still rolling on the ground.
"Thanks to you today."
He hugged Lin Muci, who was in cat form, and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"My Mu Ci is the main hero today."
Lin Muci was so delighted by the praise that his tail couldn't help but shake like a propeller, and he felt very happy.
【Hehehe...I'm such a little genius! 】
[Who dares to say my abilities are useless from now on?]
Lin Xiaomiao's "cute treatment" was surprisingly effective.
I don’t know which mother posted this matter to the mothers’ group in the community, and it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Within a few days, in addition to "excellent medical skills" and "Dr. Gu is very handsome", Gu Chaoyu's traditional Chinese medicine clinic has a new label - "child-friendly".
That afternoon, the door of the clinic was pushed open.
A haggard-looking woman walked in holding a thin little boy.
"Excuse me...are you Doctor Gu?" The woman's voice was hoarse and her eyes were bloodshot.
Gu Chaoyu raised his head from behind the examination table and said, "It's me. Please sit down."
The woman's eyes swept around the clinic, as if looking for something, and finally looked away in disappointment.
She pulled the child beside her and said, "Doctor Gu, I...I came here because someone recommended me."
"They say you... have a special way to make children not afraid of seeing a doctor."
Gu Chaoyu's gaze fell on the little boy.
The boy was about five years old and had a handsome appearance, but his eyes were full of fear and vigilance.
From the moment he entered the door, he didn't say a word, holding a tattered teddy bear tightly in his arms, and huddled behind his mother.
