Chapter 24 Escape
Escape: The instinctive ostrich mentality when facing things, but in recent years, it has also become a new solution.
The silence fell like darkness.
Meng Chu could hear the breathing of the person in front of him, even and steady. The other party was waiting for his answer, his expression calm and composed.
Unlike him, I could already hear my heartbeat like a heavy hammer.
"You..." Meng Chu tried to keep his tone puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Just like now," Fu Guanshan said, "Every time I confess my feelings to you, every time I try to create a romantic atmosphere, you will use various ways to change the subject, and the most common one is scientific terms."
The hand on the back of the sofa was only inches away from Meng Chu. With a slight stretch, he could touch him: "I don't have it."
Fu Guanshan suddenly leaned forward, and the distance between them quickly narrowed. Meng Chu subconsciously leaned back, grabbed his shoulder with one hand and pulled him back.
"I'm an actor," Fu Guanshan stared at him, "You don't think your acting skills can fool me, do you?"
Meng Chu opened his mouth and wanted to say something. As usual, rambling and ruining the atmosphere, but my mind was blank.
"Answer me," the hand on his shoulder clenched, "Adults must follow the rules of the game."
Meng Chu began to break out in a cold sweat.
Yes, he has been dodging and escaping all the time, and he wants to escape now.
He could understand those sweet words, those idol drama-style love talks, and he knew what the other person meant.
He had lived in fear for more than ten years in a home that did not belong to him. How could he not be aware of other people's attitudes and emotions?
He just didn't believe it.
"Is it because I exaggerated too much?" Fu Guanshan asked, "Or is it because of the gossip on the Internet? Do you think I flirt with everyone I meet? Am I just teasing you?"
Meng Chu finally reacted and shook his head.
He did consider these factors, but they were not the root causes.
Even if the other person spoke naturally and calmly, even if there were no unpleasant rumors or good-looking friends, he would not believe it.
Because he was afraid.
I’m afraid that after believing, I will give my heart to someone and then be disappointed.
There is already enough lack of emotion in his life, and he doesn't need to be hurt again.
What's more, deep down, he didn't believe that anyone could really fall in love with him.
It is even less likely that person is Fu Guanshan.
He knows how twisted, troublesome and heavy he is. He needs a constant sense of security and needs the other person to continue to make him believe that there is no other possibility besides him.
He himself felt very tired, let alone others.
Someone once said: Don’t associate with people who have problems in their original family, as it will drain your emotional value.
When he heard this, he felt wronged and very angry. It accused him of being a vampire in relationships, but he knew deep down that this statement was true when applied to him.
Happy people should spend their lives with happy people. Why should we help the poor? Why should we fill the gaps in the hearts of those who have gaps?
You should solve the problems of your original family by yourself. You should not pin your hopes on others, nor should you drag others down.
He felt that this was the right thing to think, but he also felt disappointed.
The world is so unfair. Only happy people will become happier.
He believed that Fu Guanshan liked him now. After all, who would go to so much trouble for someone they didn't like?
This is understandable. He is a scientist, a type Fu Guanshan has never seen before. He finds it novel and wants to try it with him.
Fu Guanshan was willing to celebrate his birthday and compile a terminology dictionary for him, which was very romantic and touched him.
But can this situation really continue?
Feelings will wear out. One day, when the novelty wears off, patience is gone, and the other party is no longer willing to accommodate him, they will once again become people from two different worlds - people who have nothing in common and can only eat in silence.
As for the other possibility—that the other party would never get tired of him and would always treat him as well as he was now—he didn't dare to think about it. Would something good like this happen to him? Has he had such luck since he was a child?
They will eventually go their separate ways.
By then, the gap in his heart will become bigger and bigger.
Instead of doing this, it’s better not to start.
Giving up trying because of the fear of a miserable ending is very cowardly and lacks courage. Unfortunately, that's just the way he is.
So he has been dodging until now.
All attempts by the other party to express his love were blocked by him.
He felt bad about pretending, and worse, he couldn't keep pretending anymore.
Because he was beginning to hope that this was true.
He began to hope that those words of "love at first sight" and "destiny" were true, and those stories about "love redemption" were true. He began to hope that he had won that one in a million chance and met the person who would not lose patience and abandon him.
His mind was unable to suppress his accelerated heartbeat and breathing.
Just like now, that face was so close, his mind was clamoring to leave, but his body was completely unable to move.
But facing Fu Guanshan's questioning, he had nothing to say.
Not only did he not have the courage to start, he also did not have the courage to tell the other party the truth.
Ultimately, this escape was for himself, to protect him from harm.
He doesn't want the person he likes to know how selfish he is.
But Fu Guanshan obviously didn't intend to let him go.
"I have the whole night to waste with you," Fu Guanshan said, "If you don't tell the truth, I won't let you go."
"I give up."
“That’s not an option.”
"Can you change the question?"
"Can't."
"Can you change the punishment? Change it to a dare."
"You've already made your choice, you can't go back on it," Fu Guanshan's eyes slowly swept from his lips to his collar, "Besides, I don't think you can stand the big risk."
Meng Chu bit his lower lip: "How do you know it's not possible?"
"You'd go this far to avoid saying those two words?" Fu Guanshan chuckled and moved closer to him, "I don't think you can even accept a kiss."
The tip of his nose was only a millimeter away from Fu Guanshan, and if he leaned forward slightly, he could touch the other's lips.
Seeing his face was red as blood, Fu Guanshan smiled mischievously and backed off a little: "Look, I advise you to confess as soon as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, soft lips pressed against his.
It was a very clumsy kiss. The moist lips trembled slightly, a tiny air current hit her cheek, her back was stiff, her hands nervously clenched a corner of her clothes, she didn't dare to open her eyes, one could only see her long eyelashes fluttering.
For a long time, he just touched his lips lightly without taking any further action.
Then, as if he had been holding his breath for too long, his lips left and he began to breathe deeply.
Fu Guanshan looked at him. Just a touch like this could make his eyes sparkle and his breathing quicken: "Is this the end?"
Meng Chu looked at him in panic: "What?"
"Didn't you see it in the elevator just now?" Fu Guanshan put his arm around his waist, "At least this is how you should kiss."
Before he could react, hot breath suddenly approached. He felt a stinging sensation on his lower lip as it was being sucked, and he gasped lightly. The other person's thumb pressed down on his jaw, forcing him to part his lips. The tip of his tongue slid in, and at first it just wandered along the teeth until he let out a whimper-like breath, and then it suddenly pressed against the most sensitive soft flesh on his upper palate. The moment his knees went weak, the hands on his waist suddenly tightened, throwing him down on the sofa.
He was nailed to the spot, his body sunk into the soft cushions, cold hands reached into his shirt, leaving marks on his smooth skin, his back trembled, and his mouth felt numb.
He felt the changes in his body, the intense sensory stimulation hitting him, and he fell into a frenetic blank. Suddenly, he realized something and struggled to get away, but the hands held him tightly, and the two hot bodies were completely stuck together.
The hands suddenly changed position, down, and down again, and they grasped something.
The moment he touched it, he froze and a white light flashed before his eyes.
The hot and wet bite suddenly went away, he opened his eyes slightly, and Fu Guanshan looked down at him.
"Just a kiss and..." His voice was filled with surprise and teasing, "So sensitive?"
He bit his lips hard, wanting to faint on the spot. "Can you... let me go first..."
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"Be careful or I'll dirty your clothes..."
"I have a lot of clothes, you know that."
He closed his eyes, wanting to die: "Haven't I...completed my punishment..."
"What? Didn't I do all the physical work just now?" Fu Guanshan pinched his face, "Baby, you don't think that the big adventure is this level, do you?"
Meng Chu pursed his lips, and the large patch of red on his neck almost merged with his lips.
Seeing that the other party looked like he was ready to die heroically, Fu Guanshan smiled and lowered his body: "It's not impossible to change the punishment, but you must promise that no matter what I say, you will never regret it."
He wanted to see how far this man could go for the words in his heart.
Meng Chu looked quite pitiful. On one hand, he didn't dare to open his eyes because of the embarrassment that had just happened, and on the other hand, he was pushed into a corner by him and forced to make a choice.
"I'll count down to five seconds," Fu Guanshan said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
"five."
"Four."
"three."
Suddenly, a crisp ringtone came from the dining table - the original ringtone of the cell phone, and it was obviously Meng Chu's call.
Like a drowning man holding onto a piece of driftwood, Meng Chu let out a long sigh of relief: "Let me answer the phone."
Fu Guanshan made a “tsk” sound but didn’t let go. It's so much fun to tease decent women and men. It would be a pity to let go of such a great opportunity.
"It's so late, you must be calling for something urgent," Meng Chu's voice was pleading, "Let me go."
Fu Guanshan thought about it and sat up.
As soon as he let go of his hand, Meng Chu almost rolled off the sofa, ran to the dining table and answered the phone.
"Uncle? Why at this hour..." He frowned, "What? I see. I'll go right away."
Fu Guanshan saw his face turn from blood red to pale in just a few seconds, and he also stood up: "What's wrong?"
"My dad is in the operating room right now," he said, hanging up the phone. "I have to get there right away."
"You can't buy high-speed rail tickets now, right?" Fu Guanshan checked the route. "It's more than 200 kilometers from here. I'll take you there. Drive faster. Change your clothes first."
Meng Chu looked down at the marks on his clothes and quickly ran back to the room.
This sudden phone call interrupted everything. Including his pending answers, and future questions.
In his mind, if the game continued, he would continue to win.
He also had the opportunity to ask Fu Guanshan a third question.
He didn't have the courage to ask this question right away, so he first asked two questions that had nothing to do with him, trying to proceed step by step.
He remembered that half a year ago, when Fu Guanshan proposed to get married, he agreed almost immediately.
Although this earth-shattering request was made by Fu Guanshan, he looked more shocked than Meng Chu: "Why?"
Meng Chu gave a very official reason: "Efficiently resolve the marriage pressure in society."
In fact, this is not the truth, at least not the whole truth.
The truth is, he finally had a chance to show off his love life.
His family has always felt that he was too withdrawn. He was in his twenties and had never had a girlfriend. He might end up living alone.
Who would have thought that he could actually marry Fu Guanshan.
He just wanted to bring Fu Guanshan to show them, just to satisfy his vanity.
That's why he agreed.
He didn't tell the truth, and he expected Fu Guanshan didn't tell the truth either.
If he could ask a third question, he would have wanted to ask that, although he didn't know if he would be able to do so in the end.
There are countless people who meet your conditions, why me?
Why did you marry me?
