Chapter 28 Hey, I think someone misses me—
She tried hard to control her gaze and not to stare intently at Yue Yiyue.
Yi Yue taught himself about distance...
Don't overstep the boundaries.
Hugs are fine, but kisses should wait until their relationship progresses further.
They can sleep together, but they cannot revert to their original forms to wrap Yue Yiyue up.
Once again silently reciting the rules established between Yue Yiyue and her, Gu Nanqiu propped herself up on her hands and looked at Yue Yiyue with a smile: "School is about to start, how about you come over and help me decorate the house? Keep an eye out for styles you like, and we can go shopping for some new clothes together."
"Oh right, let's go sit at Zhang Yang's tombstone for a while tomorrow."
Mentioning Zhang Yang, Gu Nanqiu sighed: "This is my promise to her. I'll just sit there every year and keep her company."
Yue Yiyue found it a bit strange. Was it really that simple?
"But I can't go to Wang Xiaoyan's and the others' graves. If I break my promise, she will definitely come looking for me."
...Yue Yiyue didn't know what to say, remembering what Zhang Yang had told her.
Mentioning it now would be just the right moment, and wouldn't make Nanqiu too upset.
"Nanqiu, Zhang Yang asked me to tell you this when we came out." Yue Yiyue carefully observed Gu Nanqiu's face: "She said she likes you."
......
The house was quiet for a moment.
Gu Nanqiu lowered her head with some regret, her long black hair concealing her somewhat disappointed expression.
"Thank you for the leap, but I can't reciprocate her feelings." Gu Nanqiu peeled a shrimp with gloves on.
Looking at the fresh, tender shrimp in my hand, soon to be devoured in my burning mouth, sliding down my esophagus and into my stomach... I feel a little jealous.
"Speaking of which, Yiyue, you don't seem to be too opposed to lesbians, and you don't seem to have much thought about Zhang Yang liking me," Gu Nanqiu casually mentioned.
Yue Yiyue tilted his head, somewhat puzzled: "Why should we reject you? And isn't it normal for everyone to like you?"
Because it's Gu Nanqiu.
Gu Nanqiu, loved by everyone.
Gu Nanqiu handed over the peeled shrimp: "And what about you?"
"Yiyue, do you like me?"
Yue Yiyue, with an air of self-righteousness and a hint of affection she herself was unaware of, said eagerly, "We're good friends, I definitely like you."
Looking at the bewildered and somewhat clumsy person in front of her, Gu Nanqiu had the sudden urge to lock Yue Yiyue in the room and hide him away.
That leap really...excited her.
Exclusive, exclusive, exclusive, exclusive, exclusive, exclusive.
Possess, possess, possess, possess, possess, possess.
A leap *&&……)(*) love
Yue Yiyue was unaware of the out-of-control emotions beneath Gu Nanqiu's calm face, nor was he aware of the tentacles wrestling behind her.
She took the shrimp that Gu Nanqiu had peeled for her and said very seriously again, "Me too, I really like you, but not in the way of lovers, because that would put a burden on you. A lover for a time and a friend for life, Nanqiu, we will be best friends for life!"
Yue Yiyue looked intently at the person in front of her, recalling the time when she saw the illustration of Gu Nanqiu in the book.
Amidst the pile of corpses, Gu Nanqiu looked down upon everything with compassion, and in that instant, Yue Yiyue felt the presence of love.
She was moved, by the female protagonist in a book, because she felt that if it were Gu Nanqiu, she would definitely be tolerant of her despicable past.
At that time, she had a small dream: to reward herself with a book-related item after paying off the debt.
But before that day arrived, Yue Yiyue met the real person.
I remember the moment I woke up in his arms.
"I'm so happy to have met you in my ordinary, dreary life," Yue Yiyue said earnestly to Gu Nanqiu.
This is what she truly felt.
This was something she had always wanted to tell Gu Nanqiu.
During those impoverished days, reading a few chapters of Gu Nanqiu's story each day was her only solace.
So at school, she always treated this time as stolen time.
I would be willing to die inside.
"Yi Yue, you really are..." Gu Nanqiu was taken aback by this direct question. She leaned back in her chair, a rare look of bewilderment flashing across her beautiful face.
Then she chuckled softly, and the longing for Yue Yiyue in her blood subsided in that instant.
At this moment, Yue Yiyue tamed her once again.
We must fulfill Yue Yiyue's wishes, step by step, according to what she had envisioned.
Gu Nanqiu cheerfully changed the subject to the coffee shop in City C they were going to visit in a couple of days.
They've recently launched a photo service where you can take instant photos together.
"Yi Yue, let's wear similar clothes that day and go together. I just checked, and it'll make for better photos."
As she spoke, she looked up at Yue Yiyue's pale lips and said, "How about we go buy lipsticks together in a few days? I'll pick one out for you."
She leaned closer and said, "Then I plan to install a big projector in my house."
"Speaking of which, we can also drink some sweet wine. How about we celebrate our freshman year?"
Gu Nanqiu looked at Yue Yiyue, her eyes filled with longing for a better future.
Yue Yiyue wouldn't spoil Gu Nanqiu's fun, so she added, "I'll go see what flowers we can buy and put them in the garden, and you can pick the ones you like."
"Then there was a whole photo wall, and I saw that some people documented things like this."
“Then I’ll buy a camera—” Gu Nanqiu excitedly raised her hand, then realized that it was inconvenient and muttered as she lowered her hand: “But I still want to take a picture with you.”
————
After accompanying Gu Nanqiu to the cemetery, she went home.
School is about to start, so I need to pack my bags and pick up my admission notice.
Also, I need to contact my mother.
Yue Yiyue looked at the unfamiliar number on his phone that hadn't sent him a message in a long time.
The other party must have sensed my thoughts.
Ding-dong, a text message arrives the next second.
"Missing me, baby? I just finished something very important, but unfortunately I can't tell you."
"But I could feel it, you missed me."
"So well-behaved."
"So cute!"
"I really like you so much, I like you so much, I like you so much."
"Why are you making that face? You were the one who thought of me first."
Yue Yiyue silently dragged the message to his blacklist, unwilling to look at it again.
I entered the house I hadn't been back to in a long time.
Yue Yiyue was prepared to be attacked by dust.
But the house was very clean.
How she left, and how she returned.
The white curtains swayed in the breeze.
The soft doormat at the entrance awaited Yue Yiyue's step.
For a moment, I felt that this was not quite reasonable.
But Yue Yiyue felt that this was just a world in a book, and the actions of cannon fodder didn't need to be written too clearly.
I opened the suitcase I had prepared beforehand and threw in my clothes and acceptance letter.
Just then, the phone rang at the perfect moment.
It's Mom.
Some of the distorted electrical sounds are gentle female voices.
This fulfilled Yue Yiyue's fantasy about his mother.
"Honey, I've noticed you haven't been spending much money lately. You need to spend more money. You've lost weight recently, that's not good, not good at all, honey."
"School is about to start. If you're going to a new place and living with classmates, you can just buy your things there. Don't think about bringing everything with you; it's too tiring."
"If you need more money, I'll transfer it to you. All my money is yours."
Yue Yiyue nervously touched the hem of his clothes as he listened to the woman on the other end of the phone rambling on: "Mom, thank you, I will."
A cheerful laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, I'm here."
Although Yue Yiyue never told her "mother" that she would live with her classmates after going to school.
Although Mom's tone was strange.
But after her "mother" repeatedly told her to stop, Yue Yiyue obediently took out a sum of money and sent a photo to her "mother".
After confirming that everything she needed in her suitcase was ready, Yue Yiyue closed the doors and windows and bid farewell to the place where she had only stayed for less than a day.
After she left, a small tentacle in the corner closed the wardrobe door that Yue Yiyue had forgotten to close, and then carefully picked up the hair that Yue Yiyue had dropped...
————
Three days later, accompanied by Gu Nanqiu, Yue Yiyue boarded an airplane for the first time.
Sitting comfortably in first class, Yue Yiyue was somewhat surprised. He had really tried so many new and exciting things with Gu Nanqiu during this time.
Amusement parks, large shopping malls.
I taught her how to clean her face, we put on face masks together, and ended up having a huge fight.
Eat seafood, go eat that kind of hot pot that looks expensive.
The life that Yue Yiyue never dared to imagine before, gradually filled his memories with Gu Nanqiu's company.
But when I think of my sisters, and Aunt Zhang who is still lying in the hospital bed.
Thinking of this, Yue Yiyue felt a little down again.
She's such a greedy person.
But she really wanted to be selfish just this once.
"Yi Yue, let me check your seatbelt." Long, slender fingers passed through Yue Yi Yue's abdomen and landed on the red and black seatbelt, creating a color contrast.
Gu Nanqiu carefully explored, her hand accidentally brushing against Yue Yiyue's waist and abdomen, causing Yue Yiyue to flinch.
As if she had discovered something, Gu Nanqiu poked Yue Yiyue's soft flesh at the waist again: "Aren't you ticklish?"
"No... I don't know." No one would touch Yue Yiyue's waist.
Even during a fight, they wouldn't touch; Yue Yiyue's attacks were always swift, accurate, and ruthless.
"Alright, you tied it really well. Yiyue, put on the blindfold. You'll be able to land in two hours." Gu Nanqiu handed over a pink blindfold embroidered with a cartoon octopus and adjusted Yue Yiyue's chair to a suitable angle: "Go to sleep. After you wake up, we'll go to our new home."
Yue Yiyue looks very well-behaved when he sleeps.
They usually sleep very soundly.
At this point, no one would notice what Yue Yiyue did.
Gu Nanqiu would not admit that she had done anything underhanded in certain areas.
She hooked her arm around Yue Yiyue's hand and touched it little by little.
His eyes were filled with an intense, unyielding desire.
She recalled how, in that cramped, dilapidated room, Yue Yiyue held her, rested his head on her shoulder, and talked about the future she had envisioned.
I want to go to university.
I want to have a proper relationship in college.
I want to buy my own house, it doesn't have to be big, just one would be fine.
If she could, she wished she had never gone to that place.
That way, none of this will happen.
Yue Yiyue was in very poor condition at that time.
Fragile humans are always at risk of being devoured by those filthy monsters.
Every day, one of their kind dies, is turned into dried human flesh, or made into a side dish and served on the table.
Even so, Yue Yiyue still tried his best to protect himself.
Holding her hand firmly, I told her I loved her.
