Chapter 82: Lightspeed Recombination? In the dim room...
In the dim room, Gu Xingjue's heavy breathing fell on Chen Song's head, getting closer and closer.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen Song didn't understand why Gu Xingjue always spoke so openly about such private matters, like a wild and unrestrained lunatic. It was the same before, always speaking so bluntly and casually about things that were difficult to talk about.
Sometimes when the two of them go out to buy things, Gu Xingjue would always say that he wanted to make love and asked them to come home quickly.
Chen Song would always blush, look around fearfully to see if anyone heard anything, and then hurriedly take this time bomb home.
Chen Song blinked in the dark night, took a deep breath, curled up the quilt with his hands, calmed himself, and said in a cold voice: "Go down."
Gu Xingjue's bent body stiffened. Chen Song's cold and distant tone sobered him up a lot and instantly extinguished the burning fire in his heart.
Gu Xingjue was stunned for a moment before reluctantly rolling off the bed and lying back on the floor. It was unknown how long it would take before Gu Xingjue's muffled voice could be heard again amidst the whirring of the air conditioner.
"I'm sorry." Gu Xingjue's nerves were tense, his tone filled with uncontrollable disappointment. "I lost my mind for a moment and didn't consider your feelings. I didn't do well. I will work hard to do better."
Chen Song clutched the quilt tightly against his chest and said, "Love doesn't just come from hard work."
"I know," Gu Xingjue said, his voice hoarse. "I know. Hard work may not always be effective, but not working hard is definitely useless. I want to work hard, not just a little bit, but 200% of it. If 200 is not enough, then 300, if 300 is not enough, then 500, if 500 is not enough, then 1,000. To be able to stand by your side again, no matter how much effort I put in, it doesn't matter. As long as you are at the end, that's all that matters."
Chen Song's violent heartbeat became slower and slower. He loosened his tense hands and slowly let out a breath.
He no longer believed in naked confessions, love and commitment. He was skeptical of all feelings and looked at people with a defensive attitude.
So Gu Xingjue was neither impatient nor anxious, and patiently told him that it didn't matter even if he lost his courage, because he was there and would always be with him.
No matter how hard he tried to push her away, Gu Xingjue's love only grew, like an endless stream of warm springs that enveloped him layer by layer.
"Are you sober now?" Chen Song asked.
Gu Xingjue didn't dare to speak anymore. He hid in the darkness, pretending to be asleep and snoring softly.
Although Gu Xingjue was extremely drunk, he was still conscious. He had too many pent-up emotions and nowhere to vent them. Only under the influence of alcohol could he fool around with Chen Song.
He didn't know why, but he, a man so proud and unwilling to lose face in his life, sometimes acted like a child when he saw Chen Song. Later, Gu Xingjue understood why. It was because he didn't just regard Chen Song as his lover, but also as a family member and friend, the person with the deepest and closest bond in the world.
Whether it's Beijing or Vancouver, wherever Chen Song is, that's home. Where Chen Song is is the only place Gu Xingjue can call home in this world.
Gu Xingjue nervously pretended to be asleep, snoring nervously, fearing that Chen Song would kick him out when he found out he was sober.
Chen Song knew that Gu Xingjue was not asleep because he did not snore when he slept. However, Chen Song did not expose his mistake. He was also interested in seeing how long he could pretend.
Chen Song couldn't help but laugh when he heard Gu Xingjue's clumsy fake snoring. Chen Song was a person with poor sleep quality. If someone in the dormitory breathed heavily, he would be woken up or unable to sleep. However, he gradually fell asleep to the sound of Gu Xingjue's fake snoring.
Seeing that Chen Song didn't respond, Gu Xingjue gently turned over and moved closer to the bed. He raised his eyes to glance at the back of his head, and a sense of happiness and satisfaction grew in his heart.
How can someone have such a good-looking back?
Gu Xingjue smiled.
The room wasn't cool. Gu Xingjue reached out and touched the air from the air conditioner. It was cold, like an electric fan.
Maybe the refrigerant is gone, or something is broken inside. I need to find someone to fix it tomorrow.
Gu Xingjue withdrew his hand and looked at Chen Song quietly. Even though it was hard to see clearly in the dark, he could only make out a hazy figure rising up. He was reluctant to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep.
Because once the sun rises, he won't be able to use his drunkenness to cause trouble anymore, and their relationship will return to its frozen state. Thinking of this, Gu Xingjue unbuttoned two buttons on his collar in boredom to get some fresh air.
…
Chen Song rarely had a good night's sleep, and was woken up by the doorbell the next morning.
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
The doorbell rang twice, and Gu Xingjue, who had just fallen asleep, got up and opened the door.
When the door opened, the two people standing outside were stunned.
Gu Xingjue hadn't gone to bed until after five in the morning, severely sleep-deprived. His eyes were half-open, his brow furrowed, and he looked incredibly grumpy. His hair was a bit messy, his shirt collar was haphazardly open, and the strong smell of alcohol wafted over him.
"Xiao, Xiao Jue? You, you are here." Tang Shihe's face was shocked and embarrassed, and her face turned red and white, and her embarrassed eyes wandered over Gu Xingjue.
Lu Yuan was also shocked and couldn't help but curse: "What the hell?" What the hell is going on? Rapid progress? Lightning-speed compounding?
After Gu Xingjue recognized the voice, he opened his heavy eyelids and immediately put away his bad temper. He bowed respectfully and politely, and said, "Hello, Auntie."
Chen Song woke up when Gu Xingjue went to open the door. In his half-conscious state, he didn't know there was another person at home. He rubbed his eyes and went to open the door in a daze. He bumped into a solid back. The person's bones were very hard, and it hurt his head.
But to Gu Xingjue, this was like a kitten scratching an itch. He turned around and saw Chen Song frowning in pain. He quickly hugged him in his arms and gently rubbed his forehead, coaxing him in a gentle voice: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Rub it and it will stop hurting."
Tang Shihe: “…”
Lu Yuan: “…” Is there anyone here to take care of this? This guy is crazy. Damn it.
Although Tang Shihe had already accepted Chen Song and Lu Yuan finding... a boyfriend, seeing Chen Song being so intimate with a man, she felt an indescribable feeling, a bit overwhelmed, unsure how to handle such a scene. For a moment, she wanted to throw down the two gift boxes in her hands and run away.
But she is the elder and she should act like an elder.
Chen Song woke up from the pain. Seeing the people at the door, he was startled. He took Gu Xingjue's hand away and looked over. "Auntie? Why are you here?"
Tang Shihe tried her best to keep her face calm and said with a smile, "Songsong, we're here to bring you mooncakes. We also wanted to pick you up to have dinner together and then go out for some fun."
After Tang Shihe finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Xingjue.
Chen Song followed Tang Shihe's gaze and noticed that he was being held by Gu Xingjue. His brain froze for a moment and his face started to burn. He remembered what happened last night and immediately pushed Gu Xingjue away.
"I, we..." Chen Song was embarrassed and uneasy. He didn't know how to explain the current situation to the two of them. It seemed that no matter what he said, it would only make things worse. When he was considering how to start, Tang Shihe spoke first.
"Ah, I didn't expect Xiaojue to be here too. That's perfect," Tang Shihe laughed dryly, trying to ease the children's predicament. "Come with us."
Tang Shihe regretted her words after she finished speaking, feeling that she hadn't thought before speaking. How could they still eat together when things were already so awkward? They had finally gotten some rest, so they should have wanted to enjoy some time together, but they felt embarrassed to refuse their elders.
Just as Tang Shihe was about to say that it was okay not to go, Gu Xingjue spoke up, "Okay, Auntie. I'll go change my clothes first. You two come in and wait for a while while we wash up."
Gu Xingjue bent down and took the bag from Tang Shihe's hand and helped carry it into the house: "Come in first, Auntie."
"Okay, okay." Tang Shihe walked into the room and sat on the sofa, looking a little awkward.
Lu Yuan also came in carrying something, closed the door with his foot, and touched Chen Song's arm: "Are you reconciled?"
Chen Song touched his forehead, which had just been touched by Gu Xingjue, and smoothed back his hair. He frowned and said in a muffled voice, "No."
"That's even more exciting." Lu Yuan smiled maliciously.
Chen Song looked at him with disdain and said nothing.
Gu Xingjue went to the kitchen first to pour a glass of water for Lu Yuan and Tang Shihe, and brought it to the coffee table: "Auntie, drink some water. Just wait for me for fifteen minutes. I'll go take a shower first."
"Well, okay. Don't worry." Tang Shihe picked up the water cup and took a sip.
Gu Xingjue turned and went to the bathroom. There was only one person's supplies on the sink. He took out all the toiletries, walked out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen. After getting ready in an orderly manner, he pulled Chen Song, who was still standing by the door, over and said, "You wash up here first. I'll go take a shower. Okay?"
The toothbrush cup by the sink was already filled with water, and toothpaste was squeezed onto the toothbrush placed on the cup. Chen Song glanced at it and said, "Hmm."
"Do you have any clothes for me to change?" Gu Xingjue asked with some anticipation in his eyes.
Gu Xingjue knew Chen Song’s habits. Sometimes he would buy clothes that were too big and was too lazy to return them. In the past, Gu Xingjue would wear them all.
Chen Song held the tooth cup and thought for a moment: "I'll look for it later."
"Okay." Gu Xingjue smiled, turned around and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Gu Xingjue had never used such a small bathroom before. It was even smaller than the one in the rental apartment he'd shared with Chen Song. But he enjoyed showering, and he could use Chen Song's shower gel. Although he bought the same one Chen Song used, this one always smelled much better.
After Chen Song finished washing up, he made Gu Xingjue a cup of honey water to sober him up. Then he went to find clothes for him. The wardrobe was sandwiched between the end of the bed and the door, right next to it, with the door a little further away.
Chen Song usually buys clothes online, just a few everyday pieces. He doesn't put much thought into his outfit; a clean, fresh color palette is all he needs. Occasionally, he buys something that doesn't fit. If it's too small, Chen Song returns it; if it's too large, he keeps it because returns are a hassle. He's actually a person who avoids hassles.
Chen Song opened his closet and found a larger T-shirt and loose-fitting sports shorts. As for...underwear, Chen Song blushed unconsciously at the thought. Gu Xingjue's size wouldn't fit him even if Chen Song gave him a new pair.
Chen Song shook off these inexplicable thoughts and walked to the toilet door and knocked.
There was a layer of glass paper on the door of the toilet. When Gu Xingjue approached the door, the light outlined his hazy figure on the cellophane. Chen Song stared at it for a moment and strange imaginations began to run through his mind. He immediately turned his head away and waited for Gu Xingjue to open a small opening. He immediately stuffed his clothes in and left without looking back.
When Gu Xingjue took the clothes from behind the door, he noticed a pink spot on Chen Song's ear. He pinched the clothes, smiled, closed the door, and continued washing.
Lu Yuan was sitting on the sofa, looking at Chen Song with an ambiguous smile. Others didn't know what kind of person Chen Song was, but he knew it all too well.
After Chen Song saved him, the two became close. One time, while searching for a question on Chen Song's mobile phone, he came across a website. He was so embarrassed that he immediately snatched the phone away. It wasn't until Lu Yuan apologized and said he'd read it anyway that Chen Song finally relaxed.
Lu Yuan was still chatting with him, but he didn't expect that he would be the clown in the end. Chen Song was a little bit shy who had watched countless movies and was very lustful.
Chen Song glared at Lu Yuan to warn him not to think too much, then walked over to Tang Shihe and asked nonchalantly, "Auntie, have you had breakfast yet? How about I make it for you first?"
"No, no, it's getting late. Let's go have lunch together. Xiaoyuan said there's a new restaurant that's open, let's go try it. Your Uncle Lu is on a business trip in Country S today and won't be back. When he comes back, we'll treat him to a meal. After we finish eating, Xiaoyuan said we should go see the sea. Do you want to go? Or is there somewhere else you'd like to go?"
"You finally have a holiday, so I want to take you two out to relax. Otherwise, the smell of work is getting stronger and stronger every day, and it's going to kill me."
Chen Song smiled and said, "Okay. Let's go see the sea."
Tang Shihe also laughed, and her original awkwardness eased a lot. She raised her chin towards the bathroom and asked, "Is he still free? Will he come with us to see the sea after dinner?"
