Chapter 22
Gu Yuan was stunned.
Being interrupted like this, his attention was distracted and he ignored the fact that Su Zheye was in his bed.
Are you mad at me...
This person...is simply asking questions even though he already knows the answer.
Gu Yuan was silent for two seconds and did not speak.
As if it noticed that he didn't want to answer, the fox in the quilt's ears and tail gradually drooped down, and its whole body was filled with frustration.
Gu Yuanwei sighed and said, "Su Zheye, you know very well that I don't like some of your behaviors."
"I was wrong. I'm sorry, Captain Gu..."
Su Zheye slowly moved out of the bed, not forgetting to seal the quilt to prevent the heat from escaping.
He was kneeling on the bed, his white arms and long, thin legs clearly visible outside his satin pajamas. His collar was slightly open, and a few strands of hair brushed his collarbone, shining brightly and eye-catchingly.
There was a flash of depth in Gu Yuan's eyes.
"I just..."
Su Zheye bit his lip and said slowly: "I'm sorry. My mother has bipolar disorder, and I don't know if I will inherit it. Sometimes I get abnormally emotional and can't control myself and want to... express my love for people."*
favorite.
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
No, the point is clearly, bipolar disorder.
Gu Yuan had heard of this disease. It is a common mental disorder with both manic episodes and depressive episodes. The clinical manifestations are low or high mood, which occurs repeatedly, alternatingly and irregularly.
After all, Gu Yuan was not a medical student, so he was not quite sure what the ambiguous term "elevated emotions" meant.
But after Su Zheye signed the contract with SEA, Huang Heran told him that Su Zheye's mother was indeed in a mental hospital, and her mental illness was quite serious and could be hereditary.
"you……"
Gu Yuan pursed his lips: "Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
Su Zheye shook his head.
"This disease is very serious. Don't define it blindly, and don't ignore it easily."
Su Zheye looked at him: "Before I met you, I had never been in a similar situation."
Gu Yuan was stunned again.
Su Zheye lowered his eyes and spoke in a much softer voice: "Captain Gu, before I met you, no one had ever been as kind to me as you are."
"Maybe you look down on boys with long hair. I don't want to either, but my mom forced me to do it."
"When I was in primary school, my father was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of debts. He committed suicide. The thugs who came to collect the debts couldn't get any money from my house. They were furious and saw that my mother was pretty, so..."
“Then she developed depression.”
"My mother remarried to my father. Because she didn't have the money to take care of my medical treatment when I was a child, she blamed my father's debt and everything she suffered afterwards on me."
"Maybe it was due to her mania. She asked me more than once why she gave birth to me, why I was not a woman, and why I was not the one who was raped. In addition, she would intermittently suffer from paranoid delusions about men, so she forced me to grow my hair long and dress like a girl."
"I know I'm a burden, and I don't want to be loved by anyone."
The boy's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly: "So you are so nice to me, accompanying me to the XY base, accompanying me to go shopping, and making chicken soup for me after I was hungover. I... am not used to it."
"So on the one hand, I wanted to anger you and break this 'illusion' myself, because I know I am not worthy. On the other hand, I was reluctant and tried to express my gratitude and love for you. I was self-defeating, sorry Captain..."
Ever since Su Zheye told the story about his mother, Gu Yuan's heart began beating heavily.
It was like a needle gently pricking it, causing a slight tingling pain.
Gu Yuan's own family is very happy. The relationship between three generations of his ancestors is very good. His grandparents often call him to say that they miss him and ask him to come home to see them in a coquettish manner.
Gu Yuan had never experienced a situation like Su Zheye's, and he couldn't even imagine having a father and mother like that.
And this handsome boy in front of me actually grew up in such an environment.
How did he carry all this on his frail shoulders?
——No, he still couldn't handle it all after all.
He finally got rid of that family background, but was stabbed in the back by his teammates for match-fixing in the professional arena where he had put all his efforts.
The XY Club announced that XY-Night died suddenly of a heart attack.
Gu Yuan was unwilling to believe it.
Or, even if it was a sudden death, it was caused by the actions of his teammates.
Such a bright, outstanding and hardworking person should not have ended up like this.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand and touched the side of Su Zheye's face.
Ice-cold body temperature.
Still thinking about warming my bed.
"Su Zheye."
"Zhe Ye."
Gu Yuan changed his words.
"Don't think so."
He said: "You deserve everyone's kindness to you."
The air was quiet for a long time.
Su Zheye slowly raised his face.
With the help of moonlight, Gu Yuan saw that he was not crying, but there was a faint red at the corners of his eyes, and his glass-like eyes were staring at him without blinking.
This was the first time that Gu Yuan felt a sense of fragility and vulnerability from him.
"Zhe Ye."
Gu Yuan stroked the boy's cheek with his fingertips and said seriously, "I'm sorry, I didn't know your situation and ignored your feelings. I won't be angry anymore."
Su Zheye tilted his face up, opened his big eyes, and stared at Gu Yuan intently.
He was kneeling on the bed, wearing only a thin satin pajamas, with his long hair falling on his shoulders.
Gu Yuan's right hand was stroking the boy's face. It looked like he was looking down at Su Zheye's little face and forcing him to look at him.
There is an inexplicable hint of ambiguity.
Even the next second, Gu Yuan heard Su Zheye whisper: "Captain Gu, can you take care of me?"
Gu Yuan was stunned: "What?"
"I……"
Su Zheye smiled a little embarrassedly: "You also know that I like drinking and smoking. I used these to escape reality in the past. I am addicted. I...can't control myself. I want you to help me control myself."
The boy's lips are very thin, opening and closing when he speaks, so light and transparent that it makes people want to... kiss him.
After realizing what he was thinking, Gu Yuan quickly drove the thought out of his mind.
Take care of this drunkard...
This is exactly what Gu Yuan wanted.
"Um."
He said, "I promise you."
Su Zheye narrowed his eyes.
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Su Zheye seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed, "Ah."
He put his arm into the quilt, and then drooped his eyes: "The quilt is not warm anymore..."
The soft touch of his fingertips disappeared instantly. Gu Yuan withdrew his hand reluctantly and said, "No need."
He asked, "Do you have a thick quilt?"
Su Zheye shook his head.
Gu Yuan turned around and took out a thick quilt from the closet: "Cover yourself more."
Su Zheye blinked: "Do you have any more?"
Gu Yuan: “Yes.”
Su Zheye took it and smiled: "Thank you, Captain."
Gu Yuan: “No need.”
Su Zheye hugged the thick quilt, revealing his thin arms and legs, and moved down from the bed: "Good night then."
——Like a fox hugging its own fluffy tail.
Gu Yuan said "hmm".
After watching Su Zheye walk out of the room, Gu Yuan changed into his pajamas and took out an uncovered quilt from the upper floor of the closet.
He only has two quilt covers.
One was given to Su Zheye, and the other was used to cover the thinner quilt on the bed.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yuan still did not take off the quilt on the bed, but directly covered it with the quilt core.
After folding the clothes he was going to wear today and putting away his phone, Gu Yuan went into bed.
Sure enough, the familiar fragrance seemed to permeate every inch of the quilt and pillow, and instantly occupied all of Gu Yuan's senses.
Tuberose.
At night, have a sweet dream.
Gu Yuan closed his eyes in this cool and charming fragrance.
But he probably forgot, or perhaps didn't know, that the scent of tuberose is poisonous, so the implication is -
Dangerous romance.
-
It was rare that Gu Yuan got up late that day, so it was almost nine o'clock when he woke up.
After a quick wash, he went downstairs.
Before reaching the kitchen, the sound of the base gate being locked suddenly came from outside.
Gu Yuan was stunned for a second, and his first reaction was, did Su Zheye go drinking again last night?
He walked over, the door opened, and it was indeed Su Zheye.
——But at this moment, Su Zheye was carrying a few bags of vegetables and meat in his left hand, and breakfast and two small cakes in his right hand.
Seeing Gu Yuan, he curved his eyebrows and said, "Morning, Captain Gu."
How come this person got up earlier than me today?
And I even suspected that he had gone out to drink.
no.
We can’t have such stereotypes anymore.
Gu Yuan said: "Morning."
He added: "Manager Huang told me where the switch is. I'll go turn it on."
"OK."
Su Zheye smiled: "But I bought breakfast, come and eat it when you are done."
Gu Yuan: "Okay."
When Gu Yuan went to fix the main power switch and came back, Lu Yang had also gotten up.
He sat at the dining table, staring at the two small cakes.
Gu Yuan suddenly remembered that he had a sudden impulse yesterday and ran to buy a loaf of bread for Su Zheye in the middle of the night.
Um……
Now that there are small cakes, Su Zheye probably won’t eat his own bread.
And Su Zheye only bought two pieces of cake... Seeing that he and Lu Yang played duo queue all night yesterday, the other piece should be for Lu Yang.
It doesn't matter.
Gu Yuan said to himself, since Su Zheye also bought some rice noodle rolls and soup dumplings, it would be more than enough for them to eat.
Comforting himself in this way, he also sat down.
Over there, Su Zheye baked the bread dough he had prepared yesterday and walked over.
As soon as he saw him, Lu Yang raised his head: "Brother Su, Brother Su."
Su Zheye: “Hmm?”
Lu Yang's eyes lit up: "Is this little cake for me?"
Su Zheye: “No.”
Su Zheye leaned over and tapped his head: "You still want to eat cake when the power is out?"
Lu Yang: “…嘤QAQ”
Without waiting for Gu Yuan to react to the meaning of Su Zheye's words, the latter pushed the more delicate cake in front of him: "I don't know if you like sweets, but I'll buy it first."
Gu Yuan was startled and asked subconsciously: "Did you buy it for me?"
Su Zheye smiled: "Yes."
Lu Yang let out another aggrieved "Hmm."
Gu Yuan pursed his lips: "Thank you."
Su Zheye: “No need.”
Having had a regular and healthy diet since childhood, Gu Yuan really doesn't eat desserts with a lot of cream.
But since Su Zheye bought it specifically for him...
Gu Yuan took the fork, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Smooth, non-greasy and slightly sweet.
...It's good to break the rules occasionally.
While eating a small cake, there was a pair of pitiful eyes looking at me from the side.
Gu Yuan suddenly thought of something: "Lu Yang, there is a bread in the refrigerator, go get it."
Lu Yang was stunned: "Ah?"
Gu Yuan: "I bought it last night."
He glanced at Su Zheye: "I originally wanted to give it to Zheye as breakfast."
Without waiting for Lu Yang to speak, Su Zheye raised his head from the soy milk and said, "Last night? Did you buy it for me?"
Realizing that he seemed to have exposed something, Gu Yuan paused, then said "hmm".
Unexpectedly, Su Zheye immediately sat up straight and pushed the untouched small cake in his hand to Lu Yang: "You eat it."
Lu Yang was stunned again: "Ah?"
Su Zheye blinked slowly: "That was bought for me by Captain Gu. Here, the cake is for you and the bread is mine."
After saying this, he got up and went to the kitchen to get some bread.
Lu Yang was still a little confused, but he would not let go of the cake he had got, so he stole it over.
While eating, Lu Yang muttered, "It doesn't matter who buys it, it's the same. Why did Brother Su leave such a delicious cake and snatch the bread from me instead of eating it?"
He said it unintentionally, but Gu Yuan's heart trembled violently.
-
After dinner, Lu Yang pestered Su Zheye to play a few games in a duo, and then went home in the afternoon.
Before leaving, he pulled Su Zheye and said that he must be called if there was a drinking party.
Su Zheye agreed readily, but as soon as he sent Lu Yang away, he came back and promised Gu Yuan that he would not go out drinking again in the short term.
...Now he's pretty good.
Also know how to report.
For some reason, Gu Yuan had the illusion that he was raising a fox.
During this period, Su Zheye really did what he said and had basically the same schedule as Gu Yuan. He went to bed early and got up early, ate three meals on time, and never smoked in front of him.
Cheng Yansheng was so scared that he made a special trip to the SEA base to see Su Zheye, fearing that he had been possessed by someone.
——Then, under Gu Yuan’s gaze, he timidly slipped away.
As soon as he left the base, he called Su Zheye: "Fuck! Why is Commander Gu looking at me more fiercely? I didn't steal his wife or daughter."
"Stupid."
Su Zheye lazily curled up in a corner of the sofa. Gu Yuan was playing games in the training room, eight feet away, so he dared to swear: "Maybe you stole someone's sister."
Cheng Yansheng: “…”
Cheng Yansheng: "No, I'm serious, are you okay? How long has it been since you last came to drink? If you don't personally support it, your nightclub will go bankrupt."
"Hold on."
Su Zheye said: "Next time you go to Night Mate, drink a few more glasses for me and I will transfer the money to you."
Cheng Yansheng: "Are you serious?"
Su Zheye: “Yeah.”
"Then I'll just order the Ace of Spades."
“…idiot.”
Su Zheye: "You order, and don't leave if you don't finish it after it comes up."
"No, you have to drink with me in person. Without you here, the Ace of Spades will lose value instantly."
Cheng Yansheng lit a cigarette and said, "What have you been busy with recently? You go to bed at 10 and get up at 8 every day. You stay in the base with Commander Gu and don't go out."
When he heard the sound of the lighter, Su Zheye immediately said, "Don't smoke."
Cheng Yansheng: “Ah?”
Su Zheye: "I'm so greedy."
Cheng Yansheng: “…”
Su Zheye leaned back on the sofa, his fingertips circling the ends of his hair, remembering it very clearly: "I haven't smoked for five days, I'm almost suffocating."
Cheng Yansheng was speechless: "Then why the hell are you making things difficult for yourself?"
Su Zheye sighed: "I'm just playing the long game. In order to fall asleep earlier, I even bought some melatonin a few days ago and stared at the ceiling."
Cheng Yansheng: "...Awesome, you're the first one to put yourself in such a difficult situation just to chase a man."
Su Zheye corrected him: "Bubble."
Cheng Yansheng was taught: "It's not about chasing men, it's about chasing sex partners."
Su Zheye: “…”
Su Zheye was too lazy to explain to him.
"So what do you say for New Year's Eve?"
Cheng Yansheng asked, "You're not going to come out for New Year's Eve, are you? It's definitely going to be hard to book a Night Mate for New Year's Eve. I'm going to ask Ah Hei to book a booth right now."
Su Zheye: "Come out."
After enduring for so long, it's time to take the next step.
“Oh my god!”
Cheng Yansheng just asked casually, but he didn't expect Su Zheye to actually answer. He instantly became excited: "The sun rises from the west. Is Monk Su going to break his vows?"
Su Zheye: “…”
Su Zheye: "I haven't smoked for a few days and I don't have the energy to scold you now. How many people? Who are they?"
Cheng Yansheng: "It depends on who you bring. The TRG guys also invited me to celebrate the New Year, so we can celebrate together."
"Okay."
Su Zheye said lazily: "There are three of us here, me, that kid Lu Yang, and Chief Gu."
"?"
Cheng Yansheng thought for a moment that he was hallucinating: "Who?"
Su Zheye repeated in a calm tone: "I am the AD of our team, and the jungler of our team."
Cheng Yansheng: “???”
Cheng Yansheng: “???”
"I rely on my buddy?"
Cheng Yansheng raised his voice directly: "Are you kidding me? You want to bring Officer Gu? No, do you know that if the boys in the high school class go out to smoke and drink, the one who brings the class teacher with him will be beaten."
Su Zheye was amused by Cheng Yansheng's metaphor.
Come to think of it, it’s quite appropriate.
"No, no, you are talking in your fucking sleep, right? Chief Gu would come to a nightclub? He doesn't even drink. Such a serious person, would he come to a nightclub with a vixen like you?"
Su Zheye: "Fuck your mother."
Cheng Yansheng: "I don't believe he will come."
Su Zheye: "Bet?"
Cheng Yansheng: "Let's bet. Let's bet on a bottle of Ace of Spades."
Su Zheye: "Okay."
Cheng Yansheng: "It doesn't matter if there's one more or one less booth. I'll count the number of people as if he's not coming."
Su Zheye laughed.
It seems that Cheng Yansheng still doesn't believe it.
"Wait."
He raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said lazily: "It's not me who will break the rules, but Gu Yuan."
