Chapter 194 Extra 2 (13)
Extra 2 (13)
The closeness of young people is like dry wood and raging fire, igniting at the slightest touch. When the two of them broke the kiss, Gu Jiangkuo panted and looked at Jiang Nuo, his eyes burning with eagerness: "Nuonuo."
Without too many words, Jiang Nuo understood what he wanted to do.
He was about to become an adult and was no longer a child who knew nothing. The air around him seemed to be sucked dry at that moment. Jiang Nuo felt very hot, but still pushed Gu Jiangkuo away.
The feeling of having my hands on his strong chest was wonderful. It had been four or five years since they had slept in the same bed. Both of them were growing up quietly. Gu Jiangkuo had shed his youthful appearance without anyone noticing, and was almost becoming a mature and strong adult.
I heard that he had his grip and arm strength measured at a martial arts gym, and all the data were top-notch. The coach tried many times to persuade Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu to agree to let him go professional.
Despite having such a strong physique, he was still easily pushed away by Jiang Nuo.
Gu Jiangkuo said worriedly, "Am I putting pressure on you?"
Jiang Nuo: "You pushed me."
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Jiang Nuo took the opportunity to get up: "It's too late, I want to go back to sleep."
"Hey!" Gu Jiangkuo quickly turned over and chased after him. "Nuonuo, are you angry?"
Jiang Nuo was a little helpless: "How do you know that your eyes can see that I'm angry? I'm very happy now, but if I stay any longer, it will easily cause trouble."
Gu Jiangkuo grabbed his hand and whispered, "Whatever happens, happens."
Jiang Nuo's ears turned red again: "...Let go."
Gu Jiangkuo didn't move.
Jiang Nuo then added the address: "Boyfriend, let go."
Gu Jiangkuo: “!”
Gu Jiangkuo let go obediently and said happily, "Good boyfriend!"
Jiang Nuo also smiled: "Good night, boyfriend."
"Hey—" Gu Jiangkuo chased after him. Jiang Nuo deliberately yawned, "It's too late. I have to get up early tomorrow morning. I have an exam."
"Okay then." Gu Jiangkuo had no choice but to say reluctantly.
After entering the third year of high school, exams became commonplace, almost every day, with rankings and scores announced in real time. The pressure was incredibly high, and getting enough sleep was almost a luxury.
Gu Jiangkuo couldn't bear to see Jiang Nuo sleep poorly, so he had to let her go. Little did he know, he wasn't the only one destined to be sleepless tonight.
Jiang Nuo deliberately yawned and pretended to be sleepy, and successfully escaped. However, when he returned to his room, he couldn't fall asleep.
How can you not be excited when a long-lasting love finally comes true and the other person confesses that they have liked you for a long time?
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, his mind replaying the conversation he had with his brother Dajiang.
Suddenly, the phone lit up and made a soft sound.
Dajiang: "Are you asleep?"
Jiang Nuo glanced at the time. It was 1:30 AM. Then he replied, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Dajiang: "Nuonuo agreed to my request. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep."
Jiang Nuo stared at the line of words and couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Nuo deleted and revised it, and changed "Are you really that happy?" to "Boyfriend, tell me more, when did you start to like me?"
The other end kept "typing", but after a while, he replied: "I'll tell you if I agree to sleep with you tonight."
Jiang Nuo replied with an emoticon that said “You wish.”
So, the two of them chatted on the phone until midnight, separated by a wall.
.
Gu Jiangkuo really wanted to announce his love affair to the world, but Jiang Nuo felt that the college entrance examination was approaching and did not allow him to make trouble.
So, Gu Jiangkuo was forced to control his mouth, but controlling his mouth didn't mean he could suppress his desire to show off. For example, when the person sitting in front of him teased him about how considerate and kind he was, Gu Jiangkuo stopped arguing and instead admitted in all seriousness, "I am such a perfect man. Nuozi has good taste."
For example, he would pretend to forget the agreement to "keep a low profile" in public and hold Jiang Nuo's hand. If someone started to make fun of him, Gu Dajiang would be extremely happy and would cooperate with Jiang Nuo by holding hands.
However, the more open and aboveboard they were, the more their classmates thought they were just joking, and many girls even praised them for being cute.
This made Gu Jiangkuo quite depressed.
...How cute! They are really in love, okay?
.
After the last class in the afternoon, it was dinner time. The cafeteria was crowded, and Young Master Jiang didn't like to squeeze in, so the two of them sometimes went out to eat, and sometimes ate nutritious meals sent by the aunt at home.
There is a break of about half an hour after dinner before evening self-study. Gu Dajiang and Nuozi go to the playground as usual. The daylight in Yanlin is still relatively short at this time. It is pitch black at just after six o'clock. There is a very tall lighthouse next to the plastic track, which is the only light source in the playground.
This hazy night is perfect for falling in love.
Although they go in and out together every day, young people who have just started a relationship still want to stick together every minute.
"Why can't we hold hands? There's no one here!" Gu Jiangkuo protested in shock.
"No." Jiang Nuo said, "Look at two boys holding hands. It's too feminine."
"Are we two ordinary guys? We're a couple, lovers, husband and wife—!" Gu Jiangkuo started to make a fuss. "Are you unwilling to make it public? Are you still thinking about Senior Jiang Xia?"
Jiang Nuo: “…”
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Run! Lu Dan is catching premature love!"
Lu Dan was the director of their teaching department, so called because of his surname Lu and his shiny head. Jiang Nuo suddenly looked at Gu Jiangkuo sharply: "Who said I'm afraid of publicity? Lu Dan is coming, do you dare?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Gu Jiangkuo said loudly.
Jiang Nuo ordered: "Then don't hold hands, hug my waist."
Gu Dajiang was flattered by the sudden benefit. He hugged Jiang Nuo's waist tightly. From a distance, the two boys were so close that their shadows were about to merge into one.
The director of the teaching department came over at this time. When he saw the two of them, he was slightly stunned. Jiang Nuo said naturally, "Hello, Teacher Lu."
"Oh, it's you guys." Lu Dan said disappointedly, "It's so dark, I almost thought you were a couple. It's getting late, don't stay too long, or you'll be late for class!"
"..." Gu Jiangkuo shouted unwillingly, "Teacher Lu, are you leaving now?!"
Lu Dan walked hurriedly, waving his hands with his back to them: "Something's going on! We need to catch the young couple!"
Gu Jiangkuo stared at his disappearing figure, speechless for a long time. Jiang Nuo suppressed a smile and patted his big hand around his waist: "Give up, the whole school knows that we are half-brothers."
Gu Jiangkuo didn't show his affection to others and was dejected the whole way. However, during evening study, he received feedback about the incident of the young couple being caught by the boiled egg - the teacher spent half the class telling everyone about the harm of premature love on the college entrance examination, as if falling in love was some unforgivable monster that would destroy all one's cultivation and turn ten years of hard work into nothing.
"The best love letter is not a promise made under the moonlight, but an admission letter from the same university!" The teacher gave an impassioned speech at the end.
Some people were so excited that their blood boiled and they started writing furiously after the teacher left, but some people didn't take it seriously - for example, Gu Jiangkuo.
Gu Jiangkuo half-lay on the table, muttering, "What's so difficult about going to the same university? At worst, I can ask my mom to donate a building to Yanda." Then he nudged Jiang Nuo with his elbow, "Which university do you want to apply to?"
"A University, right?"
"Ah?" Gu Jiangkuo, "Isn't it Yanlin University?"
There are more or less some local protection policies in the enrollment of students in different places. Given their grades, admission to Yanlin University is basically a piece of cake, but admission to University A is still a bit difficult.
Jiang Nuo: "I want to change my environment and live in another city for four years. It should be interesting."
Mr. Jiang had thought about letting his son study locally and learn how to run a business from him when he had time. However, Chairman Jiang's health has been getting better and better since he had a minor operation to remove a small tumor that had not yet worsened. He is likely to be able to work for another 20 years. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to let Nuozai take over and just let him go.
Jiang Nuo: "Do you want to study abroad?"
"That's fine." Gu Jiangkuo said, "I'll go wherever you go."
Jiang Nuo was a little worried: "But it's not that easy to get into University A. The top students from all over the country are flocking there. It's like a huge crowd trying to get into a university. I think we only have an 80% chance of getting in."
"No, we have 100%." Young Master Gu said firmly, and looked at his boyfriend lovingly for a while with the eyes of a child, and sighed silently: Nuonuo, you are still young, you only know that our family is rich, but you don’t know to what extent our family is rich. In fact, it is okay not to take the college entrance examination.
Gu Jiangkuo has always suspected that the reason why his mother insisted on letting him take the college entrance examination instead of directly spending money on Ivy League schools was largely because of his cousin Wang Xuanhui.
His uncle Wang Weiguo is a big weirdo. He always thinks that since he is the only son of the Wang family, the whole world has to pamper him. He asks his sister - Mother Gu - for some benefits every now and then, either to help the so-called "friends" to build relationships, or to get real money and benefits for himself.
However, Mother Gu is not the kind of woman who supports her brother, so she doesn't spoil him.
Wang Weiguo felt resentful, always feeling that his sister had become successful but didn't care about him. He often went to the Gu family to be sarcastic. He lived a mediocre life and had nothing to brag about. The only thing he could show off was his son Wang Xuanhui who was admitted to Yanlin University.
His chattering finally subsided when Gu Jiangkuo and Jiang Nuo worked together to control the scores and he tied for third place in the grade.
Now that the college entrance examination is approaching, Gu Jiangkuo's performance in the last mock exam was average, and his uncle started to get angry again. He kept belittling Gu Jiangkuo and praising his own son, praising one and criticizing the other, which made Gu's mother very angry.
As a result, Mother Gu personally went to the kitchen that day and made a "brain-nourishing soup" for the two children, and told them: "Just focus on studying during this time, don't worry about anything else!"
Mother Jiang was even more exaggerated. She hired three new aunties at once. One was responsible for cooking, and two were responsible for taking care of the young masters' food, clothing, housing and transportation. She took care of every detail and wanted to do everything that was not related to study.
.
"I'm not as confident as you, thinking I can definitely get into University A, but," Jiang Nuo also imitated Gu Jiangkuo's posture, lying on the desk in the same way, shielding his head with books, and said face to face, "We are protected like two giant pandas right now. Your mom and my mom are so nervous. If they knew about us now, wouldn't they be furious? I didn't want to challenge their fragile nerves, so I asked you to keep a low profile."
"What's going on between you two?" The man sitting at the table in front of me, wearing bottle-bottom glasses, turned his head, and the two glasses behind the thick lenses gleamed with gossip.
"We're dating." Jiang Nuo said expressionlessly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The student named 'bottom of the bottle' curled his lips and said, "You're so stingy. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. But I have some gossip to tell you!"
"What?"
"Here," Bottle Bottom handed the phone to the two of them, "someone else told me about it. He went to get some water and heard it himself outside the teacher's office. That lecture wasn't just some random talk. It turned out that Lu Dan was catching a couple, and they caught Penguin Sister and 'Jiushe'. They even invited their parents. The teacher wanted one of them to transfer out of our class and go to a regular class until graduation. But Juezhe said he was willing to break up and wanted to stay."
"Hiss!" The classmate at the bottom of the bottle also turned around and said, "What a coward! He worked so hard to get into our class, why did he go to a regular class? You are so irresponsible."
Bottom of the bottle: "How does that saying go? Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Never be with that boy who let go of your hand in front of the dean!"
Jiang Nuo turned the pen and said boredly, "Do you guys need so much drama? It's time to study!"
Gu Dajiang immediately followed suit: "Study now! Stop being so gossipy!"
The two people at the front table had no choice but to turn back in dismay, mumbling to themselves for a while before continuing to practice. Gu Jiangkuo observed her boyfriend's expression and whispered, "Nuonuo, I won't do that."
Jiang Nuo: “?”
Gu Jiangkuo whispered in his ear, "When we go public, even if Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang hold a knife to my neck, I won't change my words or back down. I will be with you for the rest of my life."
How can a young man of seventeen or eighteen know what lifetime means?
But the haze in Jiang Nuo's heart dissipated immediately, and he asked with a smile on his face, "What about Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu?"
"Don't worry about them." Gu Jiangkuo said, "My dad has known that I like you for a long time! He knows, and I think my mom knows too."
Jiang Nuo then thought of the unanswered question: "Gu Dajiang, when did you start to like me?"
Gu Jiangkuo kept it a secret: "Call me brother and let me hear it."
"..." Jiang Nuo readily agreed, "Brother Dajiang."
Nuozi's voice was very pleasant, with a hint of the unique clarity of a young man. Gu Jiangkuo was so moved by it that he said in a humble manner, "Be good, but I can't tell you now."
Jiang Nuo: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo: "When you agree to sleep with me, I'll tell you. --Ah!!! It hurts!"
The sudden howl attracted a lot of curious glances. Gu Jiangkuo regained his composure in a split second and said seriously, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy?"
In return, I got a cold eye.
Everyone turned their heads away again.
Jiang Nuo couldn't help but laugh softly.
Gu Jiangkuo then asked in a very proud tone, "Am I, your man, cute?"
Jiang Nuo: “……………………”
"I think your face is a bit too big." Jiang Nuo suppressed his smile and stared at the test paper intently. But in fact, he was secretly shaking his fingers - the two fingers he had pinched Gu Jiangkuo with just now were a little sore.
How did Gu Dajiang, at such a young age, develop such strong muscles? It's hard to pinch him!
But he must not show it. Jiang Nuo knew clearly that if he said it, Gu Dajiang would start to tremble, bragging about how strong he was, and then shamelessly asking him if he wanted to sleep with him and try out his brother's muscles. How did it feel?
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Nuo's ears felt a little hot for some reason. She couldn't help but secretly glance at her deskmate and boyfriend. Fortunately, he was working hard on the questions, and the tip of his pen made a rustling white noise on the paper.
Gu Jiangkuo looks quite good when he is serious.
Gu Dajiang's appearance actually doesn't quite conform to the current mainstream aesthetic. He is not the kind of tall and thin handsome boy. On the contrary, he has broad shoulders and long legs, a muscular body, wheat-colored skin, and his facial features are not delicate, but three-dimensional enough. His nose is very straight, and his side profile is particularly masculine.
He has a very manly appearance.
However, nowadays, influenced by the 'freshman trend', young girls prefer fair-skinned and handsome boys, so Gu Jiangkuo receives far fewer love letters than Jiang Nuo.
However, Jiang Nuo likes him like this.
Maybe they don't necessarily like the same type, but as long as it's Gu Jiangkuo, he likes her no matter what.
Jiang Nuo calmly withdrew his gaze, poked the paper with his pen, and thought: I can listen to the answer when we sleep in the same bed.
In fact, he was looking forward to it.
Nuozi has a little secret: he has always disagreed with sleeping with his brother Dajiang early, just to leave himself some private space. In the middle of the night, he can quietly log on to some websites that are not suitable for children, learn some relevant knowledge, and make sufficient preparations.
After all, he had seen Dajiang with his own eyes. His brother's Dajiang was quite scary.
If he slept with her without any preparation, he would most likely lose his life. If there was a news report about a high school senior being hospitalized due to excessive blood loss and missing the college entrance examination, he would have no face to live on this planet.
.
With one mock exam after another, the one hundred dark and tense days passed quickly. Spring went and summer came, the weather became warmer, and the college entrance examination arrived as scheduled.
In order to be fair, all the candidates in the city were reshuffled. Jiang Nuo was assigned to Yanlin No. 1 Middle School, while Gu Jiangkuo was assigned to No. 12 Middle School, two streets away from No. 1 Middle School.
In order to avoid the fatigue of the round trip and the risk of traffic jams, Mr. Jiang booked two of the most expensive suites in an old star-rated hotel opposite No. 1 Middle School for his son to rest.
Gu's father and mother also had the same idea and booked a room for Gu Jiangkuo in a hotel near No. 12 Middle School. What's more, they even booked an entire floor, which was even more exaggerated than the Jiang family's.
The excuse was that they were afraid that other guests would disturb Young Master Gu's rest and affect his performance.
Many parents have the idea of booking hotels to accommodate their own candidates. If this happened a few years later when the Internet is extremely developed, their booking of the entire hotel might cause jealousy and abuse from netizens.
But the Gu family doesn't care.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu have only this one precious son, and they would like to pick all the stars in the sky for him. What is a mere one-story hotel?
Because there were enough rooms booked, even Old Lady Wang came along.
The old man watched Gu Jiangkuo grow up, so naturally he had to watch his grandson’s big day in person.
The first day was Chinese and math, the second day was science in the morning, and English in the afternoon. Even though there was a long lunch break in between, the whole family didn't dare to disturb Gu Jiangkuo, for fear that something he said would affect the students' mood and performance.
——At least before the college entrance examination, they are all giant pandas.
After the test, Gu Daxiongmao did not rush to check the answers. She simply sent a few messages to her boyfriend like "Don't be nervous", and then her mind became active again.
Grandma Wang was holding some snacks and was about to ring the doorbell when her eldest grandson opened the door.
Gu Jiangkuo: "Grandma, are you looking for me?"
"I was worried that you didn't have enough at noon, so I asked my aunt to go to Daoxiangcun to buy you some snacks, which are all your favorites. ... Why did you come out? Are you hungry? I knew you must not have had enough..." Grandma said naggingly.
As early as a few years ago, when Mrs. Wang had a physical examination, she was reminded that she was at risk of Alzheimer's disease. Fortunately, the Gu family is doing well now, and Mrs. Wang does not have to worry about it. Instead, they can take good care of her. Under the careful care of Mr. and Mrs. Gu and the family doctor, Mrs. Wang did not get sick. She just had some mild signs, such as memory loss and a more stubborn personality - of course, it is not ruled out that this will happen when people get old.
"Thank you, grandma. How did you know I wasn't full?" Gu Jiangkuo took the snack and coaxed the old lady, "Don't worry about me. Go play mahjong with your friends! What did the doctor say? You have to use your brain more so it won't get rusty."
"I'm not stupid!" Old Lady Wang snorted. "Hey! Why are you running away? I have an exam this afternoon. Where are you going if you don't rest well?"
"I want to get some benefits for myself while I am still a 'giant panda'!" Gu Jiangkuo waved his hand, stretched out his long legs, and rushed to the room of Gu's father and mother in three or two steps.
The Gu couple were afraid of disturbing their son, but they were whispering in the room, studying the answers to the previous exams given on the Internet, and enthusiastically guessing how many points their son would get.
At this time, the doorbell rang with Gu Dajiang's powerful voice.
They both rushed to open the door and nervously asked in unison, "Dajiang, what's wrong?" They had less than half an hour left before leaving for the exam room for their final English exam. And why was he rushing over so late? Could something have happened? Did he lose his admission ticket?
Mr. Gu was already preparing to race against time to print out another admission ticket, ready to rush out at any moment, but he heard his son say nonchalantly, "I have an important matter in my life that I want to discuss with you."
Gu's father and mother: "?"
Mother Gu: "At your age, what else is more important than the college entrance examination?"
"Of course. Dad, Mom," Gu Jiangkuo said, "I want to confess something to you. In fact, I should have told you a few months ago, but Nuonuo stopped me and insisted on waiting until after the college entrance examination..."
Hearing the word "Nuonuo," Gu's father suddenly had a strong premonition. Sure enough, Gu Jiangkuo said, "It's the college entrance examination now, and I really can't help but say it. Mom and Dad, if you don't give me a promise now, I won't be able to concentrate on taking the last exam."
Father Gu: “…”
Mother Gu: “?”
Father Gu: "...Good boy, are you threatening me?"
Gu Jiangkuo grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth. "Dad, please, talk to Uncle Jiang for me and ask for a marriage between our two families. Of course, we can wait until after the exam so as not to affect his exams. But you have to promise me first."
