Chapter 13 High-Rank Players
"Meow~"
It tentatively stretched out its claws and touched the feathers.
[Hooked!]
Lin Muci was delighted, but his hands moved slowly.
He played with the cat for a while, and when he saw that it had completely let down its guard, he slowly put away the cat toy, tentatively reached out his hand, and gently scratched its chin.
The orange cat squinted its eyes comfortably, purred with satisfaction from its throat, and even rubbed its head against the palm of his hand.
[Got it! As expected of me, there's no cat I can't handle!]
Lin Muci looked proud and looked up to show off his achievements to Gu Chaoyu.
However, when he looked up, he found that Gu Chaoyu was standing behind him, very close.
He could even smell the scent that belonged only to Gu Chaoyu.
"It...it's not afraid of me now." Lin Muci's heart skipped a beat and he stuttered a little when he spoke.
"Yeah, I can see that," Gu Chaoyu said in a low voice with a smile, "You are very good at pleasing cats. You are worthy of being called a 'cat expert'."
Is he praising me?
[But why do I always feel that there is something else behind his words...]
"I bought some cat snacks, but I don't know how to feed them," Gu Chaoyu said. He took a cat snack from the side, tore open the package and handed it to Lin Muci, "Can you help me feed it?"
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Lin Muci took the cat strips, squatted down, and put the cat strips close to the orange cat's mouth.
The orange cat immediately stuck out its pink tongue and started licking happily.
At this moment, Lin Muci felt a weight on his back.
A warm hand rested on his waist.
Lin Muci's body froze instantly and he even forgot to breathe.
"Sorry, I lost my balance."
Gu Chaoyu's voice was almost right next to his ear. The warm breath brushed across his earlobe, tickling it.
For a moment, Lin Muci was at a loss.
He could clearly feel that Gu Chaoyu's hand did not move away immediately, but slowly moved upwards and placed on his back in a supporting posture.
[He...his hand...]
He bumped into me...
[What should I do? What should I do? My heart is beating so fast...]
Did he do it on purpose?
[It probably wasn't intentional. Maybe he just lost his balance for a moment.]
[I pretended to have a stomachache, but Dr. Gu didn't doubt me, so I shouldn't have doubted him either!]
[Right, wrong, that's it.]
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them spread.
The orange cat, not knowing what was going on, was still licking the cat strips attentively, making a "smacking" sound.
Gu Chaoyu maintained this posture, looking down at the little guy in front of him with a tense back.
【My wife has a very thin waist.】
It feels really good.
[My wife is a little silly but cute. I have to keep an eye on her from now on. Don't let her be seduced by some other man!]
He slightly increased the strength of his hands, leaned over, and whispered something in Lin Muci's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
“It’s very well behaved~”
These three words, carrying a subtle electric current, traveled along Lin Muci's earlobe, down his spine, and exploded on his tailbone.
It was not the first time he heard Gu Chaoyu speak, but it was definitely the first time he heard him speak in such a low and slightly hoarse voice, breathing into his ear.
Lin Muci felt numb all over.
What was even more terrible was that the hand covering his back not only did not move away, but seemed to have found a comfortable position and stayed there tightly.
The heat from my palms seeped in through the thin layer of sweater...
[He he he he... Is he saying the cat is good, or is he saying I am good? ]
[This pose is too ambiguous! Is this really okay?]
His hands are so big... so hot...
I felt like he was going to burn through my back...
[Did he do that on purpose? He definitely did it on purpose! How could someone need support for so long when they can't even stand firmly?]
[But...what if he really just lost his balance? If I overreact now, wouldn't it seem like I'm being overly sentimental?]
[No, no, no, Lin Muci, you have to stay calm! You're a talented actor! This little scene is nothing!]
Time seemed to be stretched infinitely, and every second was filled with torment and... a hint of unspeakable joy.
Just when Lin Muci felt that his brain was about to shut down due to lack of oxygen, the burning sensation behind him finally disappeared.
Gu Chaoyu straightened up and his voice returned to its usual gentle tone, as if the ambiguous moment just now was just Lin Muci's illusion.
"It seems like it really likes this brand of cat strips. I'll buy some more tomorrow."
Lin Muci: "..."
He slowly straightened his stiff spine, section by section, and then slowly stood up. His legs were a little numb from squatting for too long.
He didn't dare look back at Gu Chaoyu, but just lowered his head and pretended to concentrate on watching the orange cat eating happily at his feet.
"Well... yes... I like it very much." His voice was so dry that he felt embarrassed just listening to it.
[He just passed away like that? Just passed away like that?!]
[No explanation at all? Even a polite "Sorry, I just hurt my back, I need your help for a while" will do!]
[So he did it on purpose after all! This man is amazing! He's definitely a hidden high-ranking player!]
My heartbeat hasn't calmed down yet, it's beating like a drum...boom, boom, boom... Could he hear it?
Of course Gu Chaoyu couldn't hear his heartbeat, but he could "hear" the noisy voice in his head.
My wife's reaction was so cute, her face turned red all the way to her neck.
[If I keep teasing her, she'll probably explode.]
[We need to change the subject and let him relax.]
Gu Chaoyu cleared his throat, walked to the water dispenser, took a glass of water and handed it to Lin Muci.
"Have a drink of water. Your face is red. Is it too hot in the room?"
Lin Muci looked up fearfully, and the moment he met Gu Chaoyu's smiling eyes, he felt as if he was scalded. He quickly took the cup of water, lowered his head and took a big gulp.
The cool liquid slid down his throat, finally cooling his hot head a little.
"No... no, maybe... maybe I've been squatting for too long and my blood circulation is poor." He made up an excuse.
"Really?" Gu Chaoyu's eyes fell on his light camel-colored sweater, and he seemed to be thinking, "This sweater looks good and suits you very well."
【!!! 】
Lin Muci's heartbeat, which had just calmed down a little, went out of control again.
He complimented me on my pretty clothes! He noticed I dressed up!
[Oh my god, that hour of worrying was worth it! Zhou Yang, I was wrong about you. This dress is totally worth it!]
[Is he interested in me? He definitely is! He's showing off his physical contact and compliments!]
[Calm down! Lin Muci! Stay calm! Maybe they're just being polite! Yes! They're being polite!]
"Thank you...thank you, I just wore it casually." Lin Muci said modestly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
After eating the cat food, Orange (No. 2) licked his lips contentedly, then took a cat-like step and began to inspect his new territory. He jumped off the sofa, first walked around the living room, and then walked curiously towards the study.
