Chapter 12: The First Slap Gu Xingjue Gives Chen Song...
Gu Xingjue wasn't entirely satisfied with Chen Song's attitude or answers. He didn't know what his stubbornness and obstinacy meant. Why did they have to make such a scene when everyone else could just be happy?
He used to pretend to be broke and couldn't have fun even when going out. Now that he has money, he can take Chen Song to any place he wants to go, buy whatever he wants, and play whatever he wants.
What's wrong with Chen Song?
But since Chen Song was already somewhat moved, it meant that he still couldn't leave me. I just needed to coax him a little more.
Gu Xingjue bit Chen Song's lips with a sense of punishment: "Don't make me wait too long."
Chen Song was sore from being kissed that he was completely lost in passion. The two of them lingered for a long time before Gu Xingjue let him go.
Gu Xingjue had someone prepare a nutritious meal. Gu Xingjue fed him and Chen Song ate obediently, just like he always did when he was sick. Gu Xingjue patiently took care of him. It seemed as if nothing had changed.
Chen Song rested for a long time after receiving an IV drip in the hospital before being discharged.
When they were discharged from the hospital, the two had another small argument.
"Do you really want to live on campus? You don't want to stay in a good bed at home, but squeeze into a dormitory with others? You're going through all this trouble when you're sick."
Chen Song reached out to take the medicine from Gu Xingjue's hand: "It's okay, I can go by myself, I won't bother you."
Gu Xingjue angrily threw his hand away and refused to let him take it: "Chen Song!"
Chen Song smiled helplessly: "Didn't I tell you to give me some time?"
Gu Xingjue took people to the underground parking lot. A red sports car stood in front of him, as ostentatious as Gu Xingjue.
There were only two seats, and Gu Xingjue opened the passenger seat for him, but Chen Song showed no intention of getting in.
Gu Xingjue was a little impatient: "Get in the car."
Chen Song didn't move. He didn't know why he just didn't want to go up. Perhaps deep down he still didn't accept Gu Xingjue.
Chen Song opened his mouth for a long moment before saying, "How about I just..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Xingjue pulled him into the car, his entire body filled with the strong car perfume. He couldn't say it was unpleasant, nor did he like it, but it gave him a strange and uneasy feeling.
As soon as Gu Xingjue got in the car, he kissed him fiercely, his rough fingertips lighting fires everywhere: "When you recover from your illness, you will see how I will deal with you. Chen Song, can you please not be so stubborn?"
Chen Song grabbed Gu Xingjue's shoulders and tried to push him away, but his meager strength was not enough to shake the beast who was so interested. Finally, he released a burst of evil fire while being teased by Gu Xingjue.
Gu Xingjue looked at him with his scarlet eyes, and with a victorious smile, he wiped his hands slowly and said, "I agree that you can live on campus, but you have to go home on weekends."
The balance between Chen Song's rationality and Gu Xingjue finally tilted towards Gu Xingjue, and his silence represented his agreement.
Gu Xingjue took off his coat and put it on Chen Song: "From now on, you can only wear my clothes. It will snow soon after the rain. I will take you to buy some clothes. You used to buy me all the clothes."
Chen Song gently grasped the leather jacket draped over his body, his eyes cast down to the ground: "No need. I have a lot of clothes. You can take me home to get some to take to school."
Gu Xingjue didn't say anything else. He went home and packed his luggage, then sent him to the school gate: "So you go to school here."
Chen Song couldn't hide his disappointment, but he was already used to Gu Xingjue's neglect. He numbly muttered, "I told you."
Gu Xingjue didn't hear it and gently stroked Chen Song's cheek: "Are you really not going home with me?"
Chen Song didn't say anything, but looked at the tree across the road with a far-reaching gaze, wondering what he was thinking.
Gu Xingjue let go and turned away.
There was no reluctant farewell.
At the end of November, the temperature in Beijing plummeted, and it rained for several days straight. Chen Song stood in the rain, holding an umbrella, and watched the red sports car drive away.
In the morning, the teacher sent him a message saying that he had arranged to move in. When Chen Song arrived at the school, it was already afternoon.
The dormitory was for six people, but there were only three people living there besides him. Chen Song briefly greeted them and learned that one of them, like him, had moved in mid-semester, and the other two had changed dormitories.
After chatting for a while, they each went about their own business.
Dorm life wasn't easy. Chen Song couldn't sleep on his first night. Perhaps it was because of Gu Xingjue, or perhaps it was because of his roommate's loud snoring. He stayed awake until dawn.
Chen Song's sleep quality is very poor. He is very attached to his bed and can't fall asleep at the slightest noise. He will wake up in the middle of the night if someone breathes heavily. He is not used to staying in a hotel recently and relies on sleeping pills to fall asleep. Now that he has moved to the dormitory, the sleeping environment is even worse.
For the first time in his life, he missed the bed in that home.
The world will not stop because of one person's misfortune. The continuous rain will eventually stop, and the long-lost sunshine will come out in early December.
On Friday morning, Chen Song walked to the classroom. The warm sunlight fell on his snow-white skin, but it could not warm his heart.
He had been thinking about Gu Xingjue all week, the breath of winter lingering in his mind with memories of their first meeting.
Chen Song knew very well that what his name was and who he was were not the real gap between them.
Even if he continued to accept Gu Xingjue, they would not be able to go on for long.
He was like a pet raised by Gu Xingjue. Whenever he thought of him on a whim, he would condescend to tease him, and when this boring feeling was satisfied, he would throw him aside.
There had never been any equality between him and Gu Xingjue; he was the one who had to beg humbly.
Chen Song knew that this was not good, but Gu Xingjue was like his drug addiction and he couldn't quit.
Chen Song was stuck in this dilemma and couldn't come up with a conclusion or find a solution, so he simply devoted himself to academic research.
Time passed quickly and it was Friday. Yun Jingsheng had a class on Friday afternoon.
Since the last unpleasant dinner, Yun Jingsheng never mentioned Gu Xingjue again, and the communication and conversation between the two were limited to academic research.
Yun Jingsheng's class was still packed with students, with the classroom accommodating several hundred people. As soon as the class was over, the students in the room poured out like a flood.
Chen Song sat in the last row and had to wait for a long time every time to leave the classroom. He didn't want to squeeze with others.
He packed up his things slowly. There were not many people left in the classroom. Yun Jingsheng was sitting on the podium and was being pestered by several students asking questions.
Chen Song originally wanted to say hello before leaving, but seeing the situation, he didn't want to disturb them.
Yun Jingsheng wore a dark black lambskin coat and black eyebrow silk. He was gentle and elegant, and he looked mature and steady when talking to others.
Just as Chen Song was about to look away, Yun Jingsheng looked over, his lips curled slightly. "Student Chen Song, please stay for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Chen Song's eyes paused slightly.
Yun Jingsheng said to the students around him, "Sorry, classmates, let's talk next time. I have to catch the bus soon. If you have any questions, you can ask me on DingTalk."
The female student asked, "Where is the professor going?"
Yun Jingsheng replied: "I'm going to South City. I have some work to do."
"Nancheng, I haven't been there yet. I heard it's very warm there and it doesn't snow in winter."
Yun Jingsheng smiled and said, "Some cities further north and south still get snow, maybe occasionally. A little snow only happens every few years."
The students chatted casually for a few more minutes to end the exchange, and thanked Yun Jingsheng and said goodbye.
After Yun Jingsheng packed his bag, he called Chen Song to go with him.
Winter nights come quickly, and it gets dark by 5 or 6 in the evening. The enchanting golden sunset glow falls on the west side of the city, and a cool breeze rustles.
The two of them walked on a path covered with dead leaves, all the way to the school gate.
Chen Song was worried that Yun Jingsheng would miss the bus, so he asked first, "Professor Yun, what's up?"
Chen Song's cheeks, bleached by the wind, were rosy and white, like daffodils. His gray eyes reflected the sunset glow, a rare burst of bright golden light flowing through his melancholy.
Yun Jingsheng stopped, stood in front of him, took off his navy blue scarf, and gently put it around Chen Song.
Chen Song was slightly stunned. The soft and silky scarf still retained the warm scent of flowers and plants, blocking out the dry wind layer by layer.
Chen Song instinctively wanted to refuse. This sudden action should have been a little ambiguous, but Yun Jingsheng's light eyes were filled with pure soft light, warming his heart like a hot spring.
Yun Jingsheng's voice was as sweet as spring water. "I'm on a business trip for about a week, so I won't be able to attend next week's classes. Please postpone them for me. They only have two classes left. The list of outstanding students is almost out."
The smile in Yun Jingsheng's eyes softened and brightened. He curved his lips and said, "I chose three, and you are one of them."
Chen Song subconsciously tightened his scarf, and ripples appeared in his calm eyes.
He never dreamed that Ruoyang, who had lost his chance after failing the college entrance examination, would give him another chance now.
He was very happy. This was the only good news he had heard in recent times.
He was so excited that he forgot to take off the scarf and return it to Yun Jingsheng.
After Chen Song's excitement, he became a little nervous, gripping the scarf even tighter. He asked incredulously, word by word, "Really?"
Yun Jingsheng said, "Really. I'll tell you the details when I get back. Winter is coming, so dress warmly and don't catch a cold."
Yun Jingsheng turned sideways and waved goodbye to him: "Please treat me to a meal when I come back. Bye."
Yun Jingsheng's slender figure walked in the sunset, his clothes fluttering, and he got into the car as fast as the wind.
Chen Song watched him leave and prepared to go home after a while.
He had promised Gu Xingjue that he would go back on the weekend.
As he was moving his feet, a loud shout came from not far away: "Chen Song!"
Chen Song's heart trembled. He looked over and saw Gu Xingjue striding across the street with a sinister look on his face.
Gu Xingjue was dressed in a grey mink suit with black pants. His lightly curly black hair was tousled in the wind, forming a heroic and elegant arc. His exquisite face and golden-proportion figure instantly attracted the attention of everyone around him.
As dazzling as the stars in the sky.
But this star was extremely dazzling and wild, and its deep and dark eyes exuded an aura that was difficult to approach.
Chen Song could see that Gu Xingjue looked unhappy, but even so, that handsome face still made his heart beat faster when he walked towards him.
Gu Xingjue strode over, ripped off Chen Song's scarf, threw it roughly on the ground, and stepped on him with his expensive black boots.
"Didn't I tell you," Gu Xingjue said with his jaw clenched, pausing each word, "You are not allowed to take anything from him."
The setting sun lavishly cast its last rays of light upon Gu Xingjue. As night fell, the wind grew stronger, fanning the flames of anger beneath his handsome, sharp eyes. His meticulously styled, center-parted bangs were tousled in the wind, revealing a pristine forehead where his broken eyebrows twitched in displeasure.
After losing the protection of the scarf, the cold wind kept blowing into his mouth and nose, like surging waves constantly hitting Chen Song's spleen and stomach, causing waves of anger.
Chen Song pursed his lips and remained silent. After taking a deep breath, his expression became clear again. He squatted down to pick up the soft scarf that still retained his warmth. The wind blew the scarf around, like a silent struggle.
Chen Song tugged lightly, but couldn't pull it out. He also felt Gu Xingjue exerting more force.
Chen Song pinched the scarf a little harder, and the strength of the person competing with him also increased. Neither of them gave in, and the situation was tense.
Chen Song hadn't been eating or sleeping well recently, and his blood pressure was a bit low. After squatting for a moment, he felt the blood rushing to his head. He looked up and said angrily, "Let go."
Gu Xingjue remained motionless, looking down at Chen Song with a superior attitude, his head slightly tilted, a sarcastic smile tugging at his thin lips, as if he was strongly asserting his dominance.
"Chen Song, are you so needy? You want his clothes and scarf too? Don't you have the money to buy them?" Gu Xingjue's words pierced Chen Song's heart like a venomous snake, searing at his usual calm demeanor. Chen Song's grip on the scarf unconsciously strained. His stiff cheeks twisted and twitched, his delicate brow furrowed, and pain flashed in his gray eyes.
Gu Xingjue's words were a torture. Chen Song didn't want to listen and just hoped that he could escape immediately. However, his stiff legs and trembling hands left him nowhere to escape.
This invisible whipping did not end as expected. Seeing that Chen Song was still resisting him silently, Gu Xingjue suppressed the rage in his heart, raised his hand and pressed hard on the solar plexus, closing his eyes and pondering for a moment.
Ever since he sent Chen Song back to school last time, he would call Chen Song from time to time, trying to flirt with Chen Song with some sweet words and maintain the relationship between them.
But Chen Song answered like a machine, without any emotion, and refused to even say a few more words. This was the first time Young Master Gu had done such a thing, and at first he was somewhat patient, thinking that Chen Song might still be angry and that he would be fine after a couple of days.
But it was the same this week, so Gu Xingjue stopped calling and just kept competing with him. He hadn't vented his lust in a long time, and the last time Chen Song was discharged from the hospital, he had only restrained himself and helped Chen Song relieve his heat.
Therefore, Gu Xingjue slowly transferred his anger to desire. Only Chen Song in bed was the most well-behaved and obedient, and liked to show weakness the most.
Thinking about spending the weekend with Chen Song, Gu Xingde's mood improved a lot. When Gu Xingde was in a good mood, he would pamper people and like to give them surprises, just like when he came to pick up Chen Song from school this time.
According to the expected plan, Chen Song should have answered his call and ran out to greet him happily as before.
Then I opened my arms to him handsomely and said: 'surprise'
As a result, before his car stopped, he saw the old fox putting a scarf around Chen Song in an ambiguous way. The two of them were chattering about some nonsense, and Chen Song was smiling so shyly.
Gu Xingjue hadn't seen Chen Song laugh so heartily in a long time. He refused to say a word to him, yet smiled so brightly at Yun Jingsheng?
What a respected teacher, it’s all bullshit!
Gu Xingjue looked at Chen Song who was staring at him stubbornly without blinking. He was no longer the Chen Song with tender eyes. It was as if the man in front of him was a robber who had taken away his beloved things.
"Okay, very good." Gu Xingjue took a few breaths of cold air, pulled out his wallet from his pocket, took out a card, and leaned close to Chen Song's tense face.
The cold card penetrated into the fragile surface of the skin like a knife, quickly leaving a bright red mark.
"The money in this card is enough for you to live a carefree life." Gu Xingjue's face was so close, his facial features were more distinct and three-dimensional. Such a handsome face, but like a sharp iceberg. The last rays of sunset disappeared behind him, declaring that no light could melt the iceberg.
The darkness of the night symbolizes Gu Xingjue's aggression, devouring Chen Song.
Chen Song's bloodshot eyes were suddenly covered with hot tears. The naked humiliation was like a slow slicing of flesh and blood, scraping off his skin layer by layer, leaving it in a bloody mess.
Chen Song's chest was heaving, and the humiliation in his heart gathered strength. He raised his hand and slapped the card open, followed by a loud slap.
The black card jumped out of the palm, flipped several times in the air, and fell heavily to the ground.
Gu Xingjue's hand holding the card was still in the air, his whole body stiff, digesting Chen Song's slap in disbelief.
He suddenly felt that the wind was so cold even before it snowed, and it made his cheeks hurt.
Chen Song, who had always been docile and doted on him in every way, slapped him.
