Chapter 42 Confession
Gu Jue suddenly came back to his senses and loosened his grip.
Yun Ge and Yu Hexi had already changed the subject.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gu Jue drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and it tasted bitter.
"Nothing."
...
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and it was not suitable to continue the competition. Yan Weixiu announced that the afternoon schedule was cancelled.
Yu Chi stood up and greeted the people present, then took Gu Jue's hand and left. Gu Jue was led away in a daze.
They didn't hold an umbrella, and the snow fell on them, very lightly, with a chill.
Yu Chi said nothing and remained silent all the way.
At the beginning, Yu Chi was pulling Gu Jue away, and later Gu Jue caught up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yu Chi. Yu Chi let go of Gu Jue's wrist and interlocked their fingers.
The temperature of his palms rose, and the warmth spread throughout his body inch by inch along his palms.
Gu Jue could no longer feel the coldness of the snow, and only the temperature of his palms attracted all his attention.
His fingers moved slightly, and he clasped Yu Chi's hand back with force.
Yu Chi took him back to the inn, and ordered a jar of wine in the lobby, which he brought back to the bedroom.
He pressed Gu Jue on the stool, then placed the wine on the table with a "dong" sound.
"Drink."
Just one word, concise and clear.
Gu Jue's eyes fell on the jar of wine. There was a piece of red paper pasted on the jar with "Peach Blossom Drunk" written on it.
He swallowed his saliva under Yu Chi's cold gaze.
"No, no."
He got drunk after three cups, and his drinking behavior was still bad after being drunk.
The first time he hugged Yu Chi, he bit people's necks and left ambiguous marks all over.
The second time, he wanted to see Yu Chi take off his clothes, and gave away all the money he had.
"I feed you?"
Yu Chi opened the jar and the aroma of wine floated out and spread.
"No need..."
Gu Jue couldn't understand the expression on Yu Chi's face. He looked serious now and didn't seem to be joking.
Unlike before, she would not raise the wine glass and ask him with a smile, "Take a sip?"
Gu Jue held the wine with a fearless look on his face. He drank half of the small wine jar, which was slightly bigger than his palm, in Yu Chi's eyes.
When he put down the wine jar, his face was already red, his eyes were watery, and he looked a little confused.
Yu Chi hooked his chin and asked him.
"Do you know why I asked you to drink?"
Gu Jue reacted for a while and shook his head.
He didn't know.
Yu Chi leaned over and moved closer.
"Because wine makes people courageous. Now, tell me, what were you thinking about at the conference just now?"
"..."
Gu Jue's lips moved slightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Yu Chi couldn't wait for an answer, so he picked up the Peach Blossom Drunk.
"I can't say it, then..."
"I was thinking that you and Miss Yu are really a good match..."
Yu Chi paused and gently put Taohuazui back.
"Really? Then why do you look unhappy?"
Gu Jue said in a small voice, "I'm not unhappy..." He
didn't have any confidence at all.
"Gu Jue, you've been distracted a lot recently."
Yu Chi's voice was still flat and emotionless.
Gu Jue was panicked. In recent days, he was indeed easily distracted.
Especially about Yu Chi's things, he always had wild thoughts.
He thought he was very secretive, just like his feelings that could not be seen in the light.
When Yu Chi kissed him, he would be very excited, joy would overflow from his chest, and even his heart would beat violently.
The word "like" sprouted in his heart. He didn't notice it at first. It was not until he thought it through that it broke through the ground and gave birth to a pure white flower.
He was not good at hiding.
Yu Chi liked his eyes, he didn't know why, although Yu Chi said it was because his eyes were beautiful, but he didn't quite believe it.
At the same time, he was very lucky that his eyes could attract Yu Chi.
But he didn't know whether he was in those fox eyes.
Yu Chi was born with a pair of beautiful affectionate eyes. When looking at the dogs on the roadside, Gu Jue felt that there was affection in those eyes.
Yu Chi did not express his preferences clearly, including what kind of people he would like.
When Jiang Suo said that he was Yu Chi's obsession, he didn't believe it at first.
Later, he relied on this sentence to calm his mind.
Yu Chi can talk with Yan Weixiu. He
is also familiar with Yu Hexi, the most beautiful woman in Shangjing.
Any one of them is better and more outstanding than himself.
In comparison, he feels that he is too ordinary.
In the end, all his delusions were shattered by reality. In the calm eyes of Yu Chi, Gu Jue was in a mess.
His eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in his clear eyes, which softened Yu Chi's heart.
Gu Jue sniffed and stubbornly stopped talking.
Yu Chi sighed helplessly.
"Gu Jue, why are you unhappy when you think that Miss Yu and I are a good match?"
He softened his tone, and Gu Jue suddenly felt relieved. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he put his arms around Yu Chi's waist and rested his head on his waist.
"Because..."
His voice was as soft as a mosquito, unclear, and Yu Chi didn't hear it clearly, or maybe Gu Jue didn't want Yu Chi to hear it clearly.
Yu Chi pulled Gu Jue away, pinched his chin and forced him to look at him.
"Gu Jue, I don't want to suffer from love."
The clear eyes were already filled with tears, and now they fell from Gu Jue's eyes as Yu Chi spoke.
At that moment, he thought about countless possibilities in his heart.
Yu Chi would chase him away.
Would stay away from him.
Would not want him.
Would think he was unworthy.
Or would think he was dirty.
Filthy.
...
Every one of them was unacceptable to Gu Jue. Every time he thought of a possibility, his heart sank.
Until he hit the bottom of the valley and fell into the dust.
People living in the world have many questions, but the word love is the only one that is difficult to answer.
He is a demon, he does not understand human emotions, but he gave his heart to her unconsciously, when he did not know what love was, it was too late when he realized it, because his heart was no longer with him.
Yu Chi's fingers brushed the corners of Gu Jue's eyes, wiping away the tears.
"I thought I was obvious enough, but you still put me together with others. Should I say you think too much, or should I say you are stupid?"
"...What do you mean?"
Gu Jue's voice was choked, his heartbeat was rekindled, and a glimmer of hope rose.
"Looking back on my past 28 years, I have never fallen in love with anyone, nor have I thought about what love is, but you are indeed the most special one."
"I am a doctor, and I am used to seeing life and death. Compared to the roundabout, misunderstanding and incomprehensible love and hate, I want to cherish the present."
"Because none of us knows which will come first, tomorrow or death, so don't let misunderstandings waste our time. People only live for a few short decades."
"Instead of imagining it yourself, why not ask me directly."
It was the first time that Gu Jue heard Yu Chi say so many words, and every word hit his heart, and the hanging stone fell.
He looked into Yu Chi's red eyes, which were still very calm, without any waves.
"If I ask you, will you answer?"
"I will answer if you ask."
"Then will you coax me and lie to me?"
Yu Chi shook his head gently.
"No, I can tell you clearly now that you are in my heart and I like you."
"Really?"
"Yeah~"
Gu Jue was satisfied with Yu Chi's response. His mind was confused from being drunk and crying.
In the end, he only remembered that Yu Chi said she liked him.
He hugged Yu Chi's waist and rubbed his face against Yu Chi's abdomen.
Yu Chi's fingers poked his face.
"Gu Jue."
"Yeah."
"Little drunkard."
"...Yeah"
"A Jue~"
"..."
Yu Chi's voice became softer and softer, and in the end Gu Jue didn't even remember how he fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, the room was pitch black. It was late at night, and the person next to him was breathing lightly and steadily.
His consciousness gradually returned, and he remembered everything that happened after he was drunk.
Yu Chi had the same feelings as him.
He turned sideways and looked at Yu Chi in the darkness. After a long time, he moved into Yu Chi's arms, just like before.
Yes, Yu Chi was so obvious.
They had done such intimate things many times.
It was because he lacked confidence.
It was because he didn't dare to ask.
In the end, it was Yu Chi who spoke first.
The cold fragrance of sandalwood surrounded him. He touched Yu Chi's hair, pulled a strand, and carefully entangled it with his own hair and tied a knot.
It was his secret little thought.
He thought Yu Chi didn't know. But he didn't expect that after he closed his eyes, Yu Chi opened his eyes and
groped in the dark for his hair that was tied together by the bone.
