Chapter 80 Chapter 80 "Oh, that's my secret...
"Are you thinking about the students in Class 11?"
Gu Yang shook his head.
“…Did you see this on the Internet?”
Gu Yang made a cross with his hand.
"Is that what happened in your house?"
Gu Yang held his chin with one hand and continued to shake his head.
"What party are you going to attend soon?"
"Not feeling well?"
"Final exam next month?"
“…”
If Song Yinxing hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it.
"Why don't you guess what I'm thinking about for dinner tonight?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more out of control, Gu Yang interrupted him quietly.
Song Yinxing shut his mouth in silence. He also knew that his behavior of casting a wide net just now seemed very cheating.
Although Gu Yang was probably just acting on impulse, he was indeed very moved.
The sudden silence in the atmosphere made Gu Yang's energy that he had just accumulated relax. He turned over and lay back on the bed, his messy hair sticking to his face, but his eyes were much softer than before.
Song Yinxing's face was turned upside down in his perspective. He held the pillow in his arms and looked at the other person straight.
The loose hair that originally covered her eyes fell back, dispelling her usual gloom, and she actually looked somewhat innocent.
So beautiful.
Song Yinxing was attracted so straightforwardly, not only because of the soul and meaning attached to the body, but also purely because of this skin.
I want it so much.
It would be great if we were honest lovers.
Then he won't have to restrain himself.
Now I can hold each other's hands, interlock their fingers, lean down and kiss those eyes.
But he couldn't do anything now.
Unlike Gu Yang who is indeed only eighteen years old, he has eight more years of memory on top of his current ones.
His desolate heart, which had been destroyed by Nie Ying, finally recovered little by little, and the buds of love were born in the soil that was already mature enough.
Seeing Gu Yang's completely defenseless and exposed posture, Song Yinxing's gaze fell on the ear hole on his ear.
There are three piercings in the left ear alone, one of which pierces the ear bone and it hurts just looking at it.
Probably because I'm at home, I'm just supporting it with transparent earrings.
Feeling his gaze, Gu Yang touched her ear holes and pressed her fingers on the earrings, shaking them gently.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
"It looks painful." Song Yinxing said truthfully, "Will they apply anesthetic when they do it?"
Gu Yang shook his head slightly.
"I'm too lazy to do it, so I bought the tools and made it myself." Gu Yang said lazily, "If you like, I can help you make it."
For Song Yinxing, drilling holes in his own body was a bit too much.
"Doesn't this hurt?" Song Yinxing asked again.
"It's okay." Gu Yang said indifferently, "It will be a little painful at first, but it will be gone after one night."
"Why fight so much?"
"It's convenient to wear earrings." Gu Yang said.
Song Yinxing still didn't understand why so many earrings were needed, but he also knew that asking more would be a bit bossy.
"Can you tell me what you were thinking just now?" Song Yinxing asked softly.
When it comes to this topic, Gu Yang remained silent and just turned his face away slightly.
Thinking of something, Song Yinxing said softly with a blank expression: "I suddenly feel that it's not fair."
Seeing Gu Yang looking back, he continued, "I can't be sure what you're thinking. What if I guessed right just now, but you didn't admit it?"
Hearing this question, Gu Yang looked depressed: "If you can read what I'm thinking, then that's even more unfair."
Song Yinxing felt that this sentence was obviously a bit unreasonable.
The frustration in his expression was caught by Gu Yang. Gu Yang observed his look carefully and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"Why are you making that expression? I'm not lying to you. There are people in this world who can hear what other people are thinking."
Song Yinxing was still wondering what kind of new rhetoric this was to tease him, but Gu Yang's expression at the moment was indescribably subtle: "...did something happen?"
"Is this what they're talking about?"
Gu Yang pretended not to hear him again.
"Didn't we make an agreement before? One secret for another." Song Yinxing looked at him calmly, "I told you the nightmare I had before. Can I use this to exchange information from you?"
"When you first mentioned it, the secret you mentioned was a nightmare. And the second time you mentioned it, it was also a nightmare. So it should be counted as the same secret."
Song Yinxing was surprised that the other party still remembered what happened between them, but he also had something to say about this.
"But the secret you told me is that Xie Wu's brother is... a wife-control freak. That's too insincere."
And what happened to Xiao Si’s child?
Song Yinxing was really curious about this. He should have just listened and left, but now he was entangled in this issue.
"Shouldn't secrets be kept to oneself?"
There was indeed nothing wrong with what he said, and Gu Yang was unable to refute it. After listening to Song Yinxing's secret unilaterally, he did feel a sense of burden, even though it seemed like the other party was forcing him to buy something.
"Are you sure you want to know this?" Gu Yang looked at him with a blank expression on his face. "I was thinking that maybe I could tell you a more interesting secret."
Song Yinxing's heart skipped a beat: "What..."
Gu Yang put his finger to his lips, hushed softly, and acted mysterious.
Song Yinxing could see that this was clearly an attempt to fool people into thinking in a liar way.
But he had no choice but to stare at the other party helplessly.
"Well, actually, your answer just now was not wrong." Gu Yang finally said fairly.
Song Yinxing recalled his answers. This behavior of not knowing what to write so just writing down all the scoring points he could think of had never appeared on his test paper before, but now he had to use it.
So his eyes suddenly lit up: "So you want to promise me something?"
"That won't work." Gu Yang said, "You didn't answer completely correctly, so I'll just cut the reward in half."
Song Yinxing didn't know how the reward could be cut in half, but the person who made the rules was Gu Yang, and he had the final say.
Gu Yang obviously hadn't thought this through yet. He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.
"...Want to go to the aquarium?"
Hearing this, Song Yinxing widened his eyes slightly.
Just then, his cell phone beeped.
He was very familiar with this sound. It would sound sixty seconds before the power was shut down and the battery ran out.
He picked up his phone and subconsciously wanted to find a place to charge it.
"I have a cable next to my bed, but the model may not be compatible." Gu Yang said kindly, "There seems to be a three-wire power bank in the bottom cabinet on the left hand side. Go and have a look."
Song Yinxing stood up, walked out in the direction Gu Yang indicated, opened the cabinet and searched.
There were a lot of things pressed on top, so he reached down and looked for the power bank, but he didn't find a plastic-wrapped photo.
He didn't know what this was, but the man in the photo looked very much like Gu Yuhui when he was young, except that his temperament was completely different. There was a woman beside him, and their posture was so intimate that she was almost sticking to his arms.
Song Yinxing always felt that the woman looked familiar. He should have seen her there in his previous life, but he couldn't remember where she was at the moment.
"…You can't tell left from right?"
A cold voice came from behind. Gu Yang had gotten out of bed at some point without even wearing slippers. She walked over silently, reached around from behind him and took the photo away.
Because of this action, the other person's chin briefly rested on his shoulder.
Then, she tapped the shoulder he was leaning on with her chin in a complaining manner.
Song Yinxing then realized that he had turned to the wrong side.
"What is this photo?" Song Yinxing asked subconsciously.
Gu Yang silently put the photo back to its original place.
Song Yinxing couldn't tell what expression was on Gu Yang's face at the moment. There was an indescribable melancholy and indifference on his face. That expression made him feel palpitations, and he instinctively panicked about something.
"Is it inconvenient for others to see?" He cautiously probed, "In fact, it can be locked up to prevent someone from accidentally finding it."
"Lock it up for what?"
It was a very abrupt question, Gu Yang's mouth corners slightly raised, he looked at Song Yinxing, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Song Yinxing couldn't keep up with his train of thought, and his cell phone couldn't hold on any longer and turned off.
Gu Yang walked to the other side, found the power bank and handed it to him.
At the moment of handing it over, Gu Yang spoke to him in a dazed and light tone.
"That's my secret, by the way."
When he said this, the smile on his face widened a little: "You are the first person to discover it."
He caught the power bank that was as big as a brick, and Song Yinxing's eyes changed instantly.
Who is that person in the photo? What’s the story behind this photo? If it's important, why treat it so casually?
He had many, many questions in his mind, but Gu Yang obviously didn't give him any room to think.
"So are we going to the aquarium? If we don't decide now, it will be dark, and it seems to close at eight o'clock." Gu Yang said lightly.
When he heard this, Song Yinxing's body reacted before his mind and nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Gu Yang prepared to change clothes.
After going out to the cloakroom to match his clothes, he returned to his room.
Gu Yang was wearing a dark green long coat with a belt of the same color loosely tied on it. He sat down at the table and chose jewelry to match his clothes.
There were things scattered all over his table, some of which were not even put into boxes, but were just spread out in a pile at random.
Song Yinxing saw the necklace he had given her hanging on a uniquely shaped necklace stand. It was inconspicuous among the beautiful gems, but he was still a little happy.
By the way, the preparations that Gu Yang had to make before going out were indeed quite time-consuming. From the time he decided to go to the aquarium, almost half an hour had passed in total.
"Can you tie a belt?" Gu Yang asked Song Yinxing.
Song Yinxing wasn't sure if he could do it, but he went ahead anyway. Finally, Gu Yang saw the crooked knot in the mirror, shook his head, took it off, and tied it again with difficulty.
Finally able to go out, Gu Yang did not bother Uncle Huang and chose to take a taxi.
They went to the largest underwater world in Jiangcheng, which was probably built when they were in elementary school.
Song Yinxing still remembers that when the restaurant first opened, many classmates went there to play.
He was very envious in his heart, but he could see that something was wrong at home, so he just kept this desire quietly in his heart and coaxed Song Zihan who was crying and making a fuss about going.
This restraint lasted for more than ten years, and he never had the chance to travel again. When he recalled this incident later, he could only laugh at himself and think that his childhood troubles were really simple.
He looked at Gu Yang's back, and had no way of being sure whether this sudden suggestion was intentional or unintentional. After all, the other party had indeed changed him a lot.
But how can he know even such subtle things?
...It's obvious that they didn't have much interaction in their previous lives.
"Why does it feel smaller?" Gu Yang murmured, looking around the circle, "It seemed bigger when I came here before."
"Maybe it's because you've grown up." Song Yinxing said softly.
Gu Yang snorted in disbelief.
They were walking in a very long underwater corridor.
Perhaps to enhance the experience, the lights were not turned on. Ripples were rippling in the dim blue, reflecting on their faces, casting shadows from time to time. Countless marine creatures were swimming through a layer of glass.
It feels like being in a real underwater world.
"Do you like it?" Gu Yang asked.
Song Yinxing's eyes were filled with those creatures that he had only seen on TV. A colorful fish swam up and he tapped the glass lightly, watching the fish quickly leave.
He nodded.
"Really? That can be considered as making up for the regret." Gu Yang said casually.
Song Yinxing's attention was instantly diverted, and he looked at the person next to him with some astonishment.
Gu Yang looked too lazy to even act, so Song Yinxing simply asked bluntly, "How could the extremely rich blue water with ripples know that this is my regret?"
"Because I can hear it." Gu Yang said faintly, "I can hear what you are thinking."
This answer was obviously beyond the scope of science, but Song Yinxing himself had experienced unscientific things, so he couldn't judge for a moment whether what Gu Yang said was true or false.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Gu Yang smiled.
"How terrible, how terrible." He said in a long voice, closing the distance between him and Song Yinxing, and then retreated, "Do you think so in your heart?"
Song Yinxing stood there in a daze, watching Gu Yang turn around and walk forward. He was wearing a single long chain earring on his left ear, which swayed gently as he walked, like a jellyfish looming in the ocean.
It's really hard to figure out.
But after a brief moment of confusion, Song Yinxing quickly sorted out his thoughts and chased after him. He was obviously not someone who could be easily deceived. Although he guessed that Gu Yang might know a lot of things, he did not think that the other party could read his mind.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe it?" Gu Yang raised the corners of his mouth, trying to act like a mysterious wizard.
Song Yinxing didn't know whether he should cooperate with the performance.
"Okay, I believe it." Song Yinxing asked helplessly, "Then can you tell me what I'm thinking now?"
He neither believed it completely nor denied it completely. He always felt that Gu Yang's mood at the moment might be related to the setting he suddenly mentioned, so he wanted to test it out.
Gu Yang pursed his lips. He looked Song Yinxing up and down. After all, he didn't really have the ability to do this: "You are thinking that you are very happy to see this underwater world, and that I am really a beautiful and kind person."
These words were suspected of having some hidden agenda. Song Yinxing's eyes fell directly on Gu Yang's lips, and then slid up to the pair of smiling eyes.
In this dreamlike underwater world, his originally rational emotions were slowly diluted.
In a daze, he didn't realize it and said what was in his heart.
"I want to press you against the glass wall and kiss your eyes."
Gu Yang slowly opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Song Yinxing: “…”
He felt like he was really crazy today.
A little boy who was also visiting passed by and must have heard what they said. He made a face as he ran over and said, "Shame on you for saying something like that in public!"
Gu Yang, Song Yinxing: "..."
In the second half of the journey, they walked around in unusual silence, finishing the journey as quickly as if they were on a mission, and then tacitly decided to go back early.
But on the way back from the underwater world, before he had time to calm down his incredible mood, he learned a piece of news along the way.
Xia Chun is missing.
