Chapter 14
As soon as Gu Shuo finished speaking, Zhang Yang seemed to be choked by his words, and also seemed to be frightened by Gu Shuo.
He stared at Gu Shuo blankly.
This man had a temperament as gentle as jade. When they first met, Zhang Yang thought he had met his savior.
However, at this moment...
A gust of summer evening breeze swept through the alley. It was obviously very hot, but Zhang Yang shuddered. It was only then that he saw clearly -
The man turned his back to the bright lights of the street and faced them.
He smiled gently in the darkness.
This feeling was even more disturbing to him than the snake that came out of Lao Li's stomach...
Goose bumps appeared on Zhang Yang's arms.
Gu Shuo ignored them and turned his gaze to Su Xuan again. He asked, "Will you be back late tonight too?"
Su Xuan came back to his senses, coughed, and said vaguely, "Hmm, I guess so."
He knew it was just a polite exchange between two neighbors who happened to meet outside their apartment, but listen, there was a sense of intimacy in it, which made Su Xuanmei...
However, he had something important to do, so Su Xuan didn't have time to talk to the beauty anymore. He quickly said, "Well, I have something to do here. I'll be leaving first!"
Gu Shuo smiled: "Yeah, okay."
As he spoke, Su Xuan secretly pulled Zhang Yang and Li Yelin. The two refused to move, so Su Xuan could only use the spiritual power chain to force them to move forward.
So in Gu Shuo's eyes, these two grown men turned around stiffly and took stiff steps.
Li Yelin reacted just after taking a step, but this so-called "reaction" was a little slow.
He quickly turned his head and begged for help: "Handsome man, handsome man, please save us! We are being controlled by this man! Please help us call the police! Help!"
Zhang Yang beside him just glanced at him lifelessly.
Su Xuan turned his head and was about to speak when he saw Gu Shuo, who was still standing there, smiling and saying, "There's something wrong with your brain—right?"
"..." Su Xuan nodded heavily, "Yes!"
Zhang Yang and Li Yelin: “…………”
"Well" you big head ghost!
Li Yelin was about to speak, but Su Xuan quickly waved her hand and blurted out, "Gu Shuo, go back quickly. I'll come back to the apartment and play with you later!"
Gu Shuo paused and chuckled, "Okay."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Yang and Li Yelin again, and seeing their desperate eyes, he turned and left.
Seeing that the people had finally left, Su Xuan no longer needed to hide his feelings. He dragged the two of them back to Old Li's house, saying as he did so, "Don't bother yourself. When this is over, I'll call the police for you!"
It’s just that the police who were called were from the monster world!
Zhang Yang and Li Yelin had given up struggling. Li Yelin was crying, and Zhang Yang murmured, "That man clearly saw it! He saw everything! He must have been the one who got rid of that black energy!"
These words turned around in Su Xuan's heart, and Su Xuan lowered his eyes to ponder.
Zhang Yang was still shouting behind him, "Hey! Aren't you very capable? Can't you see that the guy was lying? Or did you two agree that he was just acting along?"
Su Xuan paused and said unhappily, "No, this matter has nothing to do with him. He knows nothing."
After taking two more steps, Su Xuan muttered, "Perhaps the black energy is simply Suan Yu's spiritual power having been exhausted and has disappeared on its own."
…
When they returned to Lao Li's house and threw the two grown men against the wall again, Su Xuan saw Lao Li and Suanyu hugging each other and crying bitterly.
Su Xuan, who had skipped the plot, wiped his sweat and asked Qi Hanyu: "What's going on? Is it resolved?"
Qi Hanyu also looked relieved and said, "Yes, Grandpa remembered it."
Amidst the bitterness and the pitiful, bean-sized tear, Old Li finally seemed to be enlightened by the holy light and recalled what happened that night.
*
It must be said that Lao Li was really drunk that night.
His ex-wife and son had just had a fight during the day, and the news was known to all the neighbors. Old Li felt ashamed and depressed. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he went out for a drink after a long time.
Only when he was drunk to the point that his nerves seemed to be paralyzed by alcohol did he walk comfortably and staggeringly on the way home.
Along the way, Lao Li recalled his entire life, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
Why is life so fickle?
How come I will become a lonely old man?
No wife, no son.
If at this moment, he fell drunk on the side of the road and fell asleep drunk, I'm afraid no one in the world would know that something happened to Lao Li, right?
If this wasn't summer but winter, he would have probably frozen to death on the roadside...
It wasn't until the next morning that it was discovered by the sanitation workers who came to clean up early in the morning...
Sent to the hospital, treatment was ineffective, and he was declared dead. There would be no one to take care of his funeral...
No, that's not right. The mother and daughter will come. They must want his inheritance...
Old Li was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind. He stumbled and his stomach churned. He rushed to a large trash can in the corner of the path and vomited violently at the sour smell in the trash can.
At my age, my body definitely can't handle being this drunk.
Old Li felt that he was in so much pain that he was about to die. He might die suddenly, have a stroke, a heart attack, or suffer from alcohol poisoning at any moment, and just close his eyes and say goodbye to the world forever.
He burst into tears.
Crying for his life, crying for his family, crying for his loneliness, and his entire life.
He seemed to be back in his childhood.
He loved to cry when he was a child. His mother, who has passed away many years ago, always made fun of him when he was a child, saying that he was a boy but so fragile.
We are fragile when we are young, and we are still fragile when we are old.
He was so fragile that when he just stepped out of the restaurant, he still felt that he was comfortable because of the alcohol, but at this moment he realized that the comfort was fake and nothing could heal the empty hole in his heart.
No……
And in his lonely sobbing, he suddenly caught a hint of discordant sound.
The sound came from beside me, like the sound of garbage being stirred.
Old Li cried so hard that he felt dizzy and breathless. Even if he heard it, he was unable to react for a while.
——Until a dirty little head carefully emerged from the trash can nearby.
Yes, that's a kid.
He was wearing an adult-style T-shirt that reached down to his knees, like a skirt.
His clothes were worn and had holes in them, and he had no shoes on his feet.
The dirty kid was hiding in the big trash can nearby. He smelled sour and was biting on expired bread thrown away by others. His stomach was rumbling.
He looked at Lao Li curiously and tilted his head.
Old Li was frightened, screamed, and fell to the ground.
Seeing him fall, the child was stunned for a moment, then crawled out of the trash can with a grunt, crawled to his side and squatted down.
Those innocent, flawless eyes seemed to be looking at a new world.
Old Li was dazed and felt like he was hallucinating.
Otherwise, how could a child suddenly appear from a trash can beside a deserted path?
Why is this kid still picking up garbage to eat?
Old Li stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched the child's head.
The child looked at his wrinkled hands, pursed his lips, and did not hide. He just squatted there obediently and quietly.
Old Li asked softly, "Little kid, what's wrong with you? Where are your parents?"
The child pouted and said, "I don't have a father or a mother."
Old Li was stunned.
The child asked, "Grandpa, what about you? Why are you crying?"
He stretched out his chubby little hand and tapped Lao Li's cheek: "You've cried so hard that your nose is running, Grandpa."
Old Li shuddered.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Because... because grandpa also has no wife and son."
The wind blows and blows.
The night was as dark as ink, like a net, covering the entire world.
Yet there are stars and there is the moon.
There are also street lights emitting faint light beside the path.
Under the overlapping, faint light, the old man and the child met.
…
Having said that, Lao Li wiped away his tears.
Su Xuan and Qi Hanyu looked at each other, so it was indeed that night.
Suanyu was still shedding tears, and she huddled beside Lao Li feeling aggrieved.
Old Li touched his head lovingly and said, "I really forgot. I knew he was a monster."
That night was truly an adventure for Lao Li.
After meeting this child, should he say that he is sober now, or is he still drunk?
He began to speak, because that night, until that moment, he finally had company.
But he just sat on the ground next to the trash can.
Suanyu asked him, Grandpa, how come you don’t have a wife and son? You are so old!
He replied that his grandfather and his wife had divorced a long time ago and his son no longer wanted to be his father.
Suanyu asked again, why don’t your wife and son want you anymore? Grandpa, have you done anything to let them down?
Old Li became angry, wiped his tears and said, "How could this be possible? He is very good to his wife and son, but, but -"
However, humans are not such simple creatures.
People are very complicated, and sometimes no matter how hard you try, you just can't be together.
The world is not that simple.
For many things, no matter how hard you struggle, you will not get a good result.
Suanyu sucked his fingers and looked at Lao Li blankly. After a long while, he finally said a few words to pull Lao Li out of his sadness.
Suanyu said: "Monsters are not that complicated."
Old Li came back to his senses: "...monster?"
Suanyu nodded and said aggrievedly: "But no one is willing to adopt a monster, and I can't find a new father and mother."
Old Li blinked and said slowly, "Are you looking for new parents?"
"Uh-huh," he asked Lao Li tentatively, "Grandpa, will you be my dad?"
Old Li was confused.
Suan Yu said, "I'm a very good boy. I won't cause any trouble to Grandpa. I eat very little, so Grandpa will definitely be able to support me! I'm also very quiet. As long as I sleep most of the 24 hours a day, nothing will happen..."
When Mr. Li heard this, he was scared. He wondered how this child had been treated by his parents before!
What's this about eating very little and sleeping for 24 hours? Could it be that he was given sleeping pills?
Old Li quickly said, "Oh, no, don't say that. Grandpa raised you! Grandpa is your dad!"
Suanyu's eyes lit up: "Really? Grandpa, are you really willing? Let me tell you first, I'm a monster!"
Old Li was confused: "Well, Grandpa knows, monsters, uh...?"
Suanyu: "I have to parasitize in your body to survive, but I really eat very little and sleep well!"
Old Li continued to be confused: "Hmm, uh, parasitize, sleep, sleep?"
Suanyu crawled forward two steps, approached Lao Li, and said seriously: "Dad, I will treat you well."
Old Li was stunned.
At some point in time, he had heard the little Li Yelin say this.
"Dad, I will treat you well."
And this sentence seems to have become very long ago, so long ago that it seems like a dream.
Old Li's eyes became warm.
He touched Suanyu's head, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Dad doesn't need you to be particularly nice to me. As long as you live happily and healthily, and don't go astray..."
Having said that, Lao Li couldn't continue.
He had also said these words to Li Yelin.
However, Li Yelin just pouted as if he was annoyed at the time, and when he grew up, he still looked like this.
Old Li felt that this scene was like a replay of the past. He was afraid that he would repeat the same mistake and even shrank back for a moment.
However, Suanyu stretched his neck, put his head against Lao Li's retreating palm, and replied with a curved eyebrow: "Well, okay!"
"As long as Daddy is happy, I'm happy!"
This is an answer I have never heard before.
Old Li opened his eyes wide.
How can I describe the feeling at that moment?
Like fireworks exploding, with a "bang", he was struck hard in the heart by this splendor.
The fireworks fell like shooting stars, and a heart that no amount of alcohol could warm was suddenly wrapped in these bright stars, as if it was soaked in hot water.
He was stunned in disbelief, dazed and afraid that all this was just a dream created by his brain because of the painful scar deep in his heart.
Yet everything feels so real.
The child who crawled out of the trash can covered his cold cheeks with his hands and whispered:
"Dad, don't cry."
*
Everything is clear now.
Although Lao Li was obviously a little confused by alcohol that night, even when he really saw the monster form of Suan Yu later, he was not scared and turned around and ran away. Instead, he lay down and let Suan Yu enter his body. Afterwards, he slept until he was sent to the hospital by a passerby.
But the acid did enter his body only after obtaining his permission.
They did recognize each other as father and son.
After the acid entered Lao Li's body, it went to sleep obediently as he promised, and most of the time it only took a small sip of Lao Li's fat.
At this point, Old Li, despite his age, lost his temper again: "It's all Dad's fault. How could you only eat fat!"
Look at this kid, he is so skinny now, his nutrition is not balanced!!
The round, sour and blinking thing was rubbed and squeezed flat by Lao Li with great care.
The corners of Su Xuan and Qi Hanyu's mouths twitched.
Su Xuan said, "Master, if he had eaten your real flesh, you wouldn't be so lively right now..."
Old Li became anxious again: "What should I do? Didn't he say he has to stay in my body until he's eighteen? After all, he can't just eat fatty food before he's eighteen..."
Su Xuan looked at him and said, "Master, acid and must not be able to parasitize ordinary humans."
Old Li was stunned.
Suan became alert and grabbed Lao Li's neck.
Su Xuan crossed his arms and said, "Don't act like you're a bad guy. You don't want to eat your father's flesh, do you? But do you think you can survive if you really suck on a little bit of fat every day until you turn eighteen?"
At the right moment, Souryu's stomach growled.
Suan and "Pa" covered their stomachs and said cautiously: "I, I'm fine! I can do it!"
Qi Hanyu advised, "Little friend, we don't want to separate you and your son. After you're sent to the Monster Bureau, the people there will definitely ensure that you grow up healthy. You can continue to see your grandfather, and once you turn eighteen and go through the Monster Bureau's adoption procedures, you two can live your lives however you want. Isn't that great?"
After hearing this, Suanyu glared at the two people leaning against the wall and said, "But if I leave, who will protect Dad?"
Zhang Yang and Li Yelin, who were being accused, shuddered.
Not to mention, when Old Li talked about his experience that night just now, Li Yelin actually lowered his head in shame.
Su Xuan didn't seal their mouths anymore. Li Yelin was soured by this and whispered, "I, I won't come again..."
"That's a nice thing to say! I've been awakened by my father's anger and sadness several times, and it's all because of you!" Sour and Fierce transformed into a monster again, and flew towards the two of them with a "swish" sound!
Zhang Yang and Li Yelin were so frightened that they screamed and cried against the wall, "It's really not coming! It's really not coming! Please let us go!"
The little black snake bared its fangs and claws, attacked Zhang Yang in the face, and then grabbed Li Yelin's hair, scaring the two grown men into tears!
Old Li looked at the scene, silent and speechless, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Su Xuan stopped him at the right time and said, "If you're worried, I'll teach you a trick, okay?"
Suan Yuyi paused and looked at him suspiciously.
Su Xuan spread his hands: "Leave a bit of your spiritual power in me. When you go to the Monster Bureau, eat and drink enough, and your spiritual power is restored to its best condition, then even if these two people come looking for me when you are not around, the spiritual power you left in me can beat them up-"
Zhang Yang and Li Yelin shook their heads frantically: "We really won't come again! Never again!!"
With such a monster keeping an eye on us, who would dare to come again?
They were almost on their knees begging these people to let them go!!
Upon hearing this, Suanyu immediately flew back and rubbed against Lao Li's body tenderly. Then, he changed his mind and flew back to Zhang Yang and Li Yelin with a ferocious look. He put a claw on each of them and left a trace of spiritual power on them.
After changing back into human form, he lay in front of the two of them and threatened, "If you dare to harass my dad again, I will use my spiritual power to lock you up in a small dark room! You will disappear from the face of the earth!"
Zhang Yang and Li Yelin were desperate: "Wuwuwuwu, I really can't do it anymore! Please!!"
…
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Yan Yue arrived with his subordinates.
Seeing the two people in the room who seemed to be tortured to the point of fainting, Yan Yue gave Su Xuan an ambiguous look.
Su Xuan looked up at the sky and whistled.
Yan Yue shook his head and asked his subordinates to take the exhausted Zhang Yang and Li Yelin away. After instructing them to "go back and carry out A-level memory processing", he waved his hand and asked Suan Yu to come over.
Acid and unwillingness flew into his hands.
Old Li was a little reluctant: "You...you will take good care of him, right?"
"We will let him live in a simulated parasitic cabin. You can visit him every day. Don't worry, our care method is professional." Yan Yue promised.
After hearing this, Lao Li felt a little relieved.
He looked at the little black snake again.
The little black snake also looked at him admiringly.
It's amazing.
The only time they had face-to-face contact was today, apart from that night.
Before his memory returned, Old Li was scared to death, but now, he only hated himself for not remembering what happened that night earlier and making the child cry like that.
He walked over, touched the little black snake's head, and said, "Son, be good. Daddy is retired now and doesn't have much to do every day. I will visit you every day."
The little black snake's eyes sparkled and he nodded quickly.
Lao Li wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry for making you so sad just now."
The little black snake shook its head quickly again.
I am sad, but my father was also very sad that night and drank so much alcohol. It is normal that he doesn't remember it.
It’s good that you can remember it.
As long as they can still be father and son, that's good.
*
After saying goodbye to Lao Li, Su Xuan went back downstairs with Yan Yue and the others. When passing by the business car of their Monster Bureau, he could still hear Zhang Yang talking inside.
He was now away from the sourness, and perhaps his spirit had awakened. He said, unwilling to give up, "I suspect there's someone with magical powers, but you don't know!"
He'd finally figured out that Su Xuan and the others were part of the Monster Bureau. So what about the man who'd stood by and watched them die?! He had magical powers, but he lied and didn't report them to the Monster Bureau. He should be detained and sentenced!
The employee from the Monster Bureau next to Zhang Yang was completely irritated. Seeing Su Xuan approaching, Zhang Yang pointed at him and whispered, "He's his friend!"
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes.
He has a strong desire for revenge.
When Yan Yue heard Zhang Yang say "he is his friend", his thoughts turned and he thought of a certain figure.
But before he could say anything, Su Xuan had already walked over quickly and leaned over the window, scaring Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang, with a shifty look on his face, crouched behind the Monster Bureau employee and said timidly, "What are you doing?!"
Su Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you think he has magical powers?"
Zhang Yang's heart was beating fast: "No, what else..."
Su Xuan smiled: "How can you still be alive and well and complain to others now?"
Zhang Yang was stunned.
Su Xuan: "Didn't I tell you that people like us can leave our power in others? If he really has magical powers, what do you think about you now..."
Zhang Yang's face turned green, and he immediately started slapping himself nervously, swearing, as if he were covered in fleas. He was then stopped by the Monster Bureau staff inside: "It's late, the residents are all resting, please don't make any loud noises!"
Su Xuan snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, facing Yan Yue.
Yan Yue adjusted his glasses and looked at him thoughtfully.
Su Xuan asked cautiously, "What? Do you take what he said seriously? He's just talking nonsense. He's just an ordinary person!"
"..." Yan Yue, "Even if he really is an ordinary person with spiritual power, we won't do anything to him."
Just like monsters, there are many humans with spiritual powers living in every corner of the world. It is impossible for them to know all of them, so they can basically only discover one and register it.
What's more, the person Zhang Yang was talking about...is probably that person.
That person is completely a "staff member".
Just...
Yan Yue: "He's quite protective."
Su Xuan: “?”
Yan Yue got into the car with Suan Yu.
Forget it. Anyway, that person specially moved to live across from Su Xuan. After such a long time, he didn't take any action and didn't allow them to take any action. He also kept hinting that they should be nicer to the people who had made a big splash. In Yan Yue's eyes, it was quite subtle.
The kind between two grown men, strangely subtle.
015
After the matter with Old Li was settled, Su Xuan and Qi Hanyu parted ways.
Qi Hanyu is full of energy and said that he wanted to continue to "set up a stall" over at Wenyu's place. This silly kid is really excited about making money.
But it's a good thing to have energy. Su Xuan smiled with relief, touched Qi Hanyu's head, and told him to go ahead and work hard to earn more.
As for himself, he went straight back to the apartment.
I returned to the apartment a little earlier today, but Lu Tao and Lu Hui haven't come back yet. I don't know where they are playing.
But with dad taking care of it, it’s not a big problem.
Su Xuan went to take a shower, and after that he chatted for a while in the group. He learned that everything was normal with Wen Yu and Bi Fang, and that Qi Hanyu arrived and acted mysteriously as usual under the pretext of practicing acting skills. Then he stretched and thought about going to bed.
But before going to bed, a light flashed in his head and he remembered something very important, so he tapped his slippers, lifted the curtains blocking the balcony, and looked to the left.
On the balcony extending from the room on the left, a night light was on. Gu Shuo was sitting on a chair, drinking tea and typing something on the computer.
Under the night light, the man's handsome profile was coated with a layer of warm light, appearing extremely soft.
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, moved, and turned his head to look.
His eyes immediately met Su Xuan's, who was hiding against the wall and peeking.
Gu Shuo raised his lips: "Just came back?"
His voice pierced through the night and reached Su Xuan's ears, gentle and pleasant.
"Well," Su Xuan said shyly, "Aren't you sleeping yet?"
Gu Shuo closed his computer and said calmly, "Didn't you agree to come and play with me after you get back to the apartment?"
Su Xuan was stunned, remembering what he had said just now in order to quickly take Zhang and Li away, and coughed lightly.
He didn't expect that Gu Shuoshi would wait until now just for this...
Su Xuan was hesitant and hesitant.
Gu Shuo asked with a smile, "Do you want to come over?"
…
Su Xuan really wanted to shout "Oh my God!"
He actually came into Gu Shuo's residence!
This apartment is definitely not Gu Shuo’s “home”. It is probably just a temporary residence he set up for work or other reasons. But no matter what, this is Gu Shuo’s private space!
When Su Xuan went in, his soul and body even trembled slightly.
Gu Shuo's apartment should be the same as Su Xuan's and his friends', where they can move in right away, and the decoration inside has been decided long ago.
However, the simple color tone and decoration are also in line with the feeling that Gu Shuo gives to others - simple, clean, plain and gentle.
There were signs of daily use in the open kitchen. It was obvious that Gu Shuo cooked for himself every day. There were two travel and geography magazines on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Su Xuan took a special look at them and remembered them in his mind.
On a shelf near the balcony, there is a small basin of water with two turtles in it, lying quietly there, probably sleeping.
Su Xuan tried hard to control his eyes and not look left and right too much, which was impolite.
But if I don't look left and right, I can only stare at Gu Shuo's back.
Gu Shuo is very tall, a head taller than Su Xuan. If it were someone else, Su Xuan would definitely compare them with jealousy, but when it comes to Gu Shuo, Su Xuan can only sigh... these damn hormones!
Ah, he is such a nymphomaniac.
After Gu Shuo brought Su Xuan into the house, he asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Su Xuan was being reserved, and blushed as he asked, "What did you drink just now?"
Gu Shuo turned around and asked, "Would you like some?"
Su Xuan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"
Seeing how elegantly Gu Shuo drank it just now, Su Xuan felt that it must be some high-end black tea!
It has to be said that Su Xuan is a rough man, and has never been interested in tea or anything like that. However, if it is Gu Shuo who drinks it, then he must try it——
A minute later, a glass of iced Sprite was placed in front of Su Xuan.
Su Xuan: “…………”
He looked at the beautiful, elegant ivory coffee cup that Gu Shuo still placed on the coffee table outside the balcony, and then looked at the Sprite in his own cup of the same style at this moment.
The Sprite was still bubbling vigorously.
Su Xuan was a little dazed.
Gu Shuo asked seriously again: "Would you like to eat something?"
Su Xuan was in a daze, and when he came to his senses, he said, "Oh, okay."
He subconsciously thought, Gu Shuo actually also prepares snacks. Gu Shuo's snacks must be imported biscuits, fruits or other high-end things -
A minute later, three flavors of Lays potato chips, original, tomato, and barbecue, were placed in front of Su Xuan.
Su Xuan: “…………”
He fell silent for a moment, watching Gu Shuo bring in the laptop and teacup from the balcony, then sit down beside him. He then picked up a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips with his slender fingers, opened it, and handed it to Su Xuan, smiling gently, "This flavor is my favorite."
A bag of potato chips, dipped in red powder, smells so fresh and delicious, it's really tempting.
...Su Xuan couldn't refuse the kindness, so he carefully picked up a piece of potato chips and put it into his mouth with "crunch" and "crunch".
On the side, Gu Shuo also picked up a piece of potato chips and put it into his mouth elegantly, "crunch" "crunch".
Suddenly, two "click" and "click" sounds were heard in the living room, one after another, back and forth, even disturbing the turtles in the basin, forcing them to crawl a few times and face their butts towards the two people on the sofa in the living room.
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Well, how should I put it, although it's a bit unexpected, he actually eats too much junk food. As for potato chips, his favorite is the original flavor, but the barbecue flavor is indeed not bad.
Hiss, now that I think about it, he and Gu Shuo actually have similar tastes.
His thoughts changed, and Su Xuan looked to the side again.
Gu Shuo ate the potato chips very seriously with his bony hands, savoring every bite carefully. If you didn't know him, you would think he was tasting some delicacy.
Su Xuan was a little confused at first, but as he looked at it, he couldn't help laughing.
I used to think that Gu Shuo was like a flower on a high mountain, who should not be desecrated. But at this moment, Gu Shuo had indeed fallen to the human world. His appearance, illuminated by the lights of the human world, was actually a little cute.
Noticing his gaze, Gu Shuo turned his eyes and looked at him puzzledly.
Su Xuan smiled and said, "I didn't realize you actually like eating this kind of thing."
Gu Shuo glanced at the potato chips in his hand, smiled, and said, "Some of the flavors are strange, but I really like some of them."
As they started chatting, Su Xuan also became interested: "Oh, yes, I can never accept the taste of cucumbers, and there's also the taste of kimchi, it's so weird!"
Gu Shuo said seriously, "Well, the taste of braised pork is also a bit inappropriate."
Su Xuan: "Exactly. Spiced fish and sushi flavors are all so dark! Oh, I really still like the original flavor the best!"
Gu Shuo smiled and said, "Really? Then I'll buy more of the original flavor next time."
Su Xuan: “!”
We were discussing the taste, why are you suddenly teasing me?
Su Xuan blushed and looked away, hesitantly trying to find a topic to talk about: "If you like potato chips, have you tried Cheetos? Have you tried Langweixian? And potatoes! Shanghaojia!"
As he spoke, he stuffed himself with potato chips with a red face and a "crunch" "crunch".
Gu Shuo chuckled: "Some of them I haven't had yet, I will remember to try them. There are many delicacies of this era, I want to try them all."
Su Xuan didn't know if Gu Shuo was laughing at him for shyly looking away or what. Feeling dizzy and hot, he didn't realize there was anything wrong with Gu Shuo's words. He just quickly took two sips of Sprite to cool his face. Then he heard Gu Shuo ask, "By the way, was everything okay in the evening? Those two people didn't seem very friendly."
Su Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Shuo to suddenly bring up this matter. He quickly said, "It's okay. I just encountered a small problem. It's been resolved."
After he finished speaking, for some reason, Zhang Yang's words echoed in his mind.
Su Xuan paused in his heart, subconsciously turned his head, and his gaze fell back on Gu Shuo.
...Gu Shuo is really good-looking.
The feeling he gave Su Xuan was that of a young master from an ancient noble family, well-mannered, polite, and elegant.
It is absolutely correct to describe him as "a gentleman is like an orchid".
The first day Gu Shuo appeared in front of Su Xuan, Su Xuan felt that this man was simply a god who had descended to earth.
He didn't know how someone could be so charming.
However, Su Xuan cared about Gu Shuo and paid attention to Gu Shuo, but he still did not understand Gu Shuo.
His interactions with this man always occurred during the day or at night, when he was going out or returning home.
Sometimes, even just a ray of light from the balcony late at night.
Where is Gu Shuo from?
What is his job?
How long will he live in this apartment?
Where do his parents live?
…
It could almost be said that he knew nothing about Gu Shuo.
Su Xuan held the coffee cup and rubbed his fingers along the wall of the cup.
——However, for some reason, even though he knew nothing, he felt inexplicably close to Gu Shuo in his heart.
It had nothing to do with the lethality of Gu Shuo's appearance and gentle personality to Su Xuan. It was a natural sense of closeness that permeated from his heart since the first time they met.
so……
Su Xuan opened his mouth and whispered, "Gu Shuo."
Gu Shuo wiped his fingers and looked at him.
Su Xuan asked: "At that time tonight... don't you have anything else you want to ask?"
...Did you really not see anything?
Gu Shuo looked at him steadily.
His eyes were pitch black, but not as dark as the night, which was a chaotic mass.
Su Xuan's figure was clearly reflected in the bottom of these black eyes.
Su Xuan held the coffee cup, his fingers motionless. In the silent moment, he just stared at Gu Shuo closely.
Suddenly, Gu Shuo smiled and asked, "For example?"
Su Xuan paused.
The man raised his hand and gently rubbed his head: "I'm glad you're okay. I don't have anything else to ask. That's your private matter, isn't it?"
A second later, Su Xuan came back to his senses, turned back to drink Sprite, and said obediently: "Yeah."
He had a natural affinity for Gu Shuo.
so……
He believed in Gu Shuo.
In other words, he believed that no matter what, Gu Shuo was someone he could trust.
So after getting the answer, Su Xuan would no longer have any random thoughts or ask about other things.
He finished his Sprite obediently, turned around and said, "I want a refill!"
After Gu Shuo said that, he kept looking at him.
After hearing what he said, he paused, smiled, stood up and said, "Okay."
…
The two chatted about random things until late at night, and Su Xuan actually felt a little sleepy.
But after finally getting into Gu Shuo's apartment, he didn't want to leave so soon. As a result, when Gu Shuo went to pack up his things, he leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
When Gu Shuo came out, he saw Su Xuan curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly in the corner of the sofa.
He stood there looking for a while, then walked over slowly with light steps and sat down gently beside Su Xuan.
Su Xuan's sleeping posture is very well behaved. He even looks a bit like a child when he curls up in a ball to sleep.
Gu Shuo reached out and gently rubbed Su Xuan's head.
Su Xuan's hair was soft, just like when he was in front of Gu Shuo.
Even in his sleep, he subconsciously rubbed Gu Shuo's palm, as if he was acting coquettishly.
Gu Shuo paused, his hand slowly sliding down, his fingers rubbing across Su Xuan's cheek, until they reached his chin...
...Then he turned back and gently pinched the tip of Su Xuan's nose.
Su Xuan groaned in his sleep, "...it hurts..."
The tone is soft.
Gu Shuo chuckled, but the next second, the smile froze on his lips.
Images flashed through my mind quickly, but I couldn't see anything clearly. At the same time, I was suddenly hit by a splitting headache.
His pupils turned silver in an instant. Gu Shuo suddenly withdrew his hand, supported his elbows on his knees, lowered his head, closed his eyes, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were prominent.
Even if you have long been accustomed to it, the overwhelming pain still requires great willpower to endure.
Gu Shuo's breathing was infinitely prolonged and his senses seemed completely numb.
He sat there motionless, quietly waiting for this wave to subside. For a moment, he seemed to only hear Su Xuan's breathing, steady and one after another, soothing his restless nerves.
…
After a while, Gu Shuo slowly exhaled and opened his eyes again. His pupils had returned to a bottomless black.
He paused slightly, then turned his eyes and looked at Su Xuan beside him again.
After a moment, a low murmur sounded in the living room.
"Where have we met before?"
In the silent living room, no one answered.
…But it doesn’t matter.
Lost memories can be slowly recovered.
Countless questions can be slowly solved.
Gu Shuo remembered nothing about the past, but he inexplicably knew that he probably had infinite patience with Su Xuan.
…
When Su Xuan woke up the next day... he found himself in Gu Shuo's bed!
On the bed!
He was lying on Gu Shuo's bed, resting his head on Gu Shuo's pillow, and covered with Gu Shuo's quilt. His whole body was filled with Gu Shuo's scent!
The innocent little virgin Su Xuan immediately became Spartan. His computer crashed early in the morning. He was stunned, his face flushed, and he stared at the unfamiliar ceiling in a daze.
Until there was a knock on the door. I turned my head stiffly and saw Gu Shuo leaning against the door. He asked with a smile, "Are you awake? I made breakfast."
The man was a handsome man, wearing home clothes, holding a pair of chopsticks, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes full of smiles. It was truly the most wonderful sight to wake up to in the morning...
...When Gu Shuo turned around and left, Su Xuan screamed silently, then flipped over and fell on the bed!
He slept with Gu Shuo last night? !
Gu Shuo carried him back to bed? !
He actually shared the same bed with Gu Shuo last night?!
Oh my god!!!
Su Xuan hugged the quilt and took a deep breath, feeling like he had drunk a box of Red Bull!
When Su Xuan reluctantly got out of bed, he suffered another heavy blow!
Gu Shuo! Surprisingly! He even prepared a toothbrush, a cup, and a towel for him!
It’s so close, just go back and brush your teeth!
After Gu Shuo's preparation, Su Xuan suddenly felt as if they were living together. He was in a daze until he finished eating the breakfast noodles made by Gu Shuo himself.
After finishing his meal, Gu Shuo asked with a smile, "Are you going to work?"
"Ah, yes, that's right," Su Xuan replied dazedly, "What about you?"
"I'm almost out," Gu Shuo said gently, "See you tonight?"
Su Xuan: "...See you tonight!!"
Su Xuan was filled with excitement!
With a rosy face, he returned to his apartment next door in a high and proud manner, and ran into Lu Tao and Lu Hui who were brushing their teeth!
The two of them saw that he looked confused.
Lu Tao looked Su Xuan up and down, surprised and asked, "Xuan, why are you wearing pajamas? Didn't you play outside all night?"
Lu Hui was more clever: "Brother, are you coming from next door, hehe?"
Su Xuan froze.
Hearing Lu Hui say this, Lu Tao was stunned for a moment. When he realized what was happening, he was shocked: "Wait, you were at Gu Shuo's place last night? What did you two do all night???"
"!!!" Su Xuan's face turned pale. "Dad, what are you talking about! Gu Shuo and I are still pure!"
...I definitely don't mean to expect anything to happen!
Su Xuan, with a guilty conscience, sneaked into the house to change clothes, but he didn't expect Lu Tao to follow him in.
Su Xuan turned his head warily: "Dad, you are so nosy!"
"..." Lu Tao was in a mess, feeling quite aggrieved. "I was trying to remind you to check the WeChat group. Didn't you know? Something big happened at the night snack stall around one o'clock last night. We were on TV!"
Su Xuan was stunned.
On TV?
Last night, he was annoyed by the frequent messages in the WeChat group and the frequent vibrations of his phone, which disturbed his and Gu Shuo's "two-person world", so he temporarily turned on the Do Not Disturb function.
When I opened it, I found that the group has been having fun since last night.
When Su Xuan figured out what happened at the night snack stall last night, he was shocked!
