Chapter 73 Idiot [VIP]
Chapter Summary: But what can I do? I love this idiot so much!
Fu Xianyin felt her consciousness travel around outer space with the shooting star.
The cold wind cooled Fu Xianyin's burning cheeks. Her hands were still tightly gripping Gu Linzhao's collar, and a trace of warmth and softness remained on her lips.
How could you be so reckless?
They went straight for it... and kissed.
They didn't even ask if the other person was willing.
What's this?
Is the first step to adulthood learning to be a jerk to the person you like?
Fu Xianyin suddenly released her grip on Gu Linzhao's collar, abruptly turning her head away, unable to look Gu Linzhao in the eye.
Gu Linzhao couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.
He was more shocked by the forced kiss than Fu Xianyin, but he also accepted it much faster than Fu Xianyin.
The scene of that warm touch still lingered in his mind. For some reason, Gu Linzhao licked his lips, and when he came to his senses, he berated himself for being vulgar.
The cake they were carrying had inevitably gotten on their clothes from their close contact earlier. Gu Linzhao bent down to put the cake down, took out a tissue from his pocket, and looked at Fu Xianyin trying to bury herself like an ostrich, finding it amusing.
He sighed, a hint of amusement in his voice:
"Little rascal, are you shy?"
Fu Xianyin was so embarrassed that she immediately retorted, "You're the little hooligan."
Gu Linzhao said, "You kissed me, how did that make me a hooligan?"
Fu Xianyin stubbornly insisted, "I was just... I was momentarily dizzy and confused."
She looked at Gu Linzhao and argued forcefully, "When I kissed you, you didn't dodge? When other people kiss you, why don't you dodge? You kiss back no matter who kisses you, and you still say you're not a pervert..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost completely gone.
Fu Xianyin lowered her head, looking as timid as a quail.
After a while, she heard a soft laugh.
She looked up and unexpectedly met Gu Linzhao's watery eyes.
Water contains all things.
Tolerate her stubbornness, tolerate her unreasonableness, tolerate her arrogance, tolerate her shamelessness.
She heard Gu Linzhao say, "If others can't kiss me, I'll avoid them."
As if afraid she wouldn't understand, he repeated it in more straightforward terms:
"I will only kiss you back without flinching."
Fu Xianyin felt her body start to burn from her fingertips.
Scalding hot blood is pumped from the heart, carrying extremely high temperatures, flowing to every part of the body, heating every inch of the body.
Gu Linzhao suddenly smiled. He reached out and rubbed Fu Xianyin's cheek with his finger bones. The burning cheek was instantly touched by a cool touch. Like a long-awaited rain after a drought, Fu Xianyin even instinctively tilted her head in the direction of his finger.
She heard Gu Linzhao point out with a hint of a smile, "Fu Xianyin, you're blushing."
"It's so red."
...
Ahhhhhh
Fu Xianyin screamed inwardly. Of course she knew she was blushing. Not only was her face red, but her mind felt like a scalding steamer and her blood like boiling lava.
She could barely speak.
That's so unfair!
Why is it that she's so embarrassed she could burst and can't even utter a sound, while Gu Linzhao is so calm and collected, even joking with her?
Why should I?!
A sudden surge of malice rose in Fu Xianyin's heart. Her gaze fell on Gu Linzhao's still rosy lips, and a sudden wicked thought arose in her mind.
However, Gu Linzhao had already guessed her evil intentions. He lowered his eyes, his shoulders slumped, and he said lazily, "What, you want to kiss me again?"
Fu Xianyin: ...
She deflated and muttered under her breath, "No, how come you're not even a little bit shy? Don't you have any shame at all?"
"I have no shame?"
Gu Linzhao bent down, looked at her at eye level, and said with amusement, "Fu Xianyin, you kissed me, how come it's me being shameless?"
Fu Xianyin complained, "Aren't you shy? Who wouldn't be shy about kissing someone they like?"
Suddenly remembering something, she put her hands on her hips and said defiantly, "Besides, you haven't even agreed to my request yet. You just keep dodging the question and don't answer it directly."
Gu Linzhao asked, "What's the problem?"
Fu Xianyin said earnestly, "My wish, my wish, you haven't helped me fulfill it yet."
Gu Linzhao felt his heart had turned into a lump of mud.
So cute, how can someone be so cute?
This is the vivid Fu Xianyin, the charming Fu Xianyin, the Fu Xianyin who flirts with him, the Fu Xianyin who is completely unguarded with him, and the Fu Xianyin who lays her whole heart bare for him to see.
It was supposed to be her birthday, but it was he who got what he wanted.
He couldn't help but want to stretch this moment into eternity.
Gu Linzhao feigned ignorance and set a trap for Fu Xianyin: "So, what's your wish? To kiss her again?"
He thought Fu Xianyin would scold him again, but to his surprise, this time she put away her embarrassed and angry look and said seriously:
"I like you."
"Why don't you consider trying being with me?"
……Grass.
Gu Linzhao couldn't help but curse under his breath.
He knew that Fu Xianyin was awkward, and he also deeply understood and appreciated Fu Xianyin's awkwardness.
Even if she beats around the bush in a sentence, he can still discern what she really wants to say with keen insight.
But he couldn't handle Fu Xianyin's direct approach.
Tell him this so clearly, earnestly, openly, and sincerely.
I like you, do you want to date me?
Gu Linzhao nodded and said, "Yes."
The sky was filled with twinkling stars, and shooting stars streaked across the heavens, leaving long trails in their wake.
When meteoroids in the universe move under the influence of Earth's gravity, they rub and collide with molecules in the atmosphere, producing a bright flash of light, which is the tail of a meteor.
It extends, extends, and extends again the moment in a single space, allowing people to see the moving meteor and the long tail it leaves behind.
The same applies to sincerity.
Two sincere hearts ignite and shine upon each other, infinitely prolonging the fleeting moment of heart-fluttering emotion.
Thus, the moment can stand shoulder to shoulder with eternity.
Thus, even a moment can transcend time.
Even as she was riding down the mountain in the car, Fu Xianyin felt that her heartbeat had not returned to a normal rate.
She caught a glimpse of Gu Linzhao's hand resting on the seat out of the corner of her eye, and cautiously touched it, only to have it quickly grabbed again.
Gu Linzhao's palm completely enveloped her hand. Fu Xianyin's fingertips kept poking and scratching at his palm. Gu Linzhao was not annoyed. He just used a little more force to hold her tighter, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he restrained his strength and could not restrain her movements at all.
Fu Xianyin continued playing with great enthusiasm, and after an unknown amount of time, a cheerful voice came from the side:
"Have you had enough fun?"
Fu Xianyin pouted and whispered, "I haven't had enough fun yet."
Gu Linzhao sighed softly and said, "Fu Xianyin, how childish are you?"
Fu Xianyin's lips curved into a subtle smile, which she quickly suppressed.
She said, "You play with me, aren't you childish?"
Gu Linzhao said, "I was naive."
Fu Xianyin said, "Then I'm naive too."
It was past 2 a.m. when the car drove back to Emerald Bay.
Outside vehicles were not allowed to enter. The driver originally intended to register at the entrance, but Fu Xianyin refused.
Perhaps because they had just confirmed their relationship, they could say those demands with more confidence.
Fu Xianyin tugged at Gu Linzhao's hand and said, "Walk with me for a bit."
Gu Linzhao agreed.
The two walked all the way to the entrance of the building, holding hands the whole time, showing no intention of separating.
Gu Linzhao asked, "Do you live alone?"
Fu Xianyin looked up at him with a smile and asked, "Then will you stay with me?"
Gu Linzhao stammered for once, "I...I didn't..."
The streetlights shone from the side, clearly illuminating Gu Linzhao's bright red ears.
Fu Xianyin was overjoyed, as if she had won a game back.
Gu Linzhao sighed helplessly: "You know that's not what I meant."
Fu Xianyin blinked and said, "It's okay if that's what you mean."
She's the type who talks nonsense and sometimes acts recklessly.
A giant in words, and no dwarf in deeds either.
After she finished speaking, she watched Gu Linzhao's reaction with interest.
He wasn't as reckless as Fu Xianyin, but the fact that Fu Xianyin was spending New Year's Eve alone still made him feel a little sad.
Seeing that he was really struggling with this, Fu Xianyin interrupted him with amusement: "Okay, okay, I was just rambling. The security in the neighborhood is pretty good, and I have no problem living here by myself. But you, coming home at this hour, aren't you afraid of getting scolded by your family?"
The problem has come full circle.
When asked this question on the mountain, Fu Xianyin had been thinking about it for quite a while.
Now she has a legitimate reason to explore the answer to this question.
Gu Linzhao knew which answer she wanted to hear, and readily agreed: "I told my family that it's the girl I like's birthday today. When it was my birthday, she traveled a long way, taking a flight of more than 30 hours round trip to come see me. Today is her birthday, and I don't want her to have such a hasty celebration."
Fu Xianyin was somewhat dissatisfied: "So you only came to celebrate my birthday because I was back in China when it was your birthday?"
Gu Linzhao said, "No."
"Whether you celebrate my birthday or not, I don't want you to spend today alone."
Her smile was impossible to hide.
Fu Xianyin tilted her head and chuckled. She squeezed Gu Linzhao's hand with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'm satisfied with this answer."
She looked at Gu Linzhao's profile, which appeared extremely upright in the sidelight, and suddenly let go of his hand.
The next second, she grabbed Gu Linzhao's ears with both hands, stood on tiptoe, leaned in, and whispered, "I'm going up now, let's kiss again."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Linzhao's reaction, she lightly kissed his lips and then ran upstairs.
Even after entering her home, Fu Xianyin's heart was still pounding.
She initially thought her nervousness stemmed from uncertainty about Gu Linzhao's feelings, and that she would feel more at ease once their relationship was confirmed.
But that's not actually the case.
I was just as nervous as I should have been, and my heart rate didn't slow down at all.
It turns out it wasn't just nervousness.
It's love at first sight.
She turned on the light, tiptoed to the window, peeked out with her head slightly raised, and cautiously peered downstairs.
Gu Linzhao was still standing downstairs. He raised his hand, touched his lips, then lowered his head and laughed.
Fool.
Fu Xianyin looked at the people downstairs and couldn't help but laugh.
She touched her lips and whispered to herself:
What an idiot.
But what can we do?
She really likes this idiot.
