Chapter 106 Chapter 106 A Warm and Comfortable Home
*
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
His throat was itchy and painful, as if being bitten by dense ants. The piercing itching invaded his brain. In his sleep, Gu Mengran's chest rose and fell violently, his body trembled, and he began to cough uncontrollably.
It was dawn and when he was dozing off, Gu Mengran, who was half asleep and half awake, cleared his throat, forced himself to suppress the discomfort, turned over and continued to sleep.
But before he could fall asleep again, someone suddenly shook his shoulder gently.
"Wake up Mengran, do you have a cold? Get up, take some medicine and go back to sleep."
Warm breath passed by my ears, and a deep voice spread out layer by layer.
The two of them lay face to face on the soft inflatable mattress. Gu Mengran opened his eyes drowsily and Liang Zhao's well-defined profile suddenly came into his sight.
A high nose bridge, deep eyes, and a handsome face that you can never get tired of looking at.
As if possessed by a ghost, Gu Mengran reached out and touched his face, and then when Liang Zhao was stunned for a moment, he put his arms around Liang Zhao's neck, leaned forward slightly, and very naturally snuggled into the other's arms.
As if he was half asleep, with an absolutely trusting attitude, Gu Mengran buried his face in Liang Zhao's neck and rubbed it gently, mumbling in dissatisfaction: "Don't make noise, I'm sleepy, go to sleep."
He was awakened by a cough. The original intention was to ask someone to get up and take medicine, but the sudden hug confused Liang Zhao.
The hairy head was noisy in his arms, and he suddenly forgot what to do. Liang Zhao's breathing became disordered, and he didn't know whether to raise or put down his hands that were hanging in the air. After a long time, he finally fell on Gu Mengran's shoulders and held him in his arms.
“Ahem.”
Two more muffled coughs sounded in his arms. Liang Zhao regained his senses, patted Gu Mengran's back with his palm, and reminded him gently: "Take the medicine before going to bed, okay? You have a cold."
After he finished speaking, Gu Mengran, who had just calmed down, moved twice again. Unhappy with being disturbed in his sweet dream, he pinched the back of Liang Zhao's neck in revenge, but it seemed that it was not enough. He opened his mouth and bit the culprit's neck with his sharp canine teeth.
Without much effort, he bit like a kitten, but Liang Zhao felt as if his throat was being strangled. His rapid breathing stopped instantly and he dared not move at all, as stiff as a corpse.
A subtle itching spread from his neck, and Liang Zhao's hands gradually clenched into fists. The person in his arms seemed to have found the fun, biting one place after another, moving inch by inch, and gently biting Liang Zhao's Adam's apple, whether intentionally or not.
The word "bite" doesn't seem quite appropriate to describe it. The biting gradually changed its taste. The soft and warm lips brushed across the skin like feathers, leaving one after another, small and dense kisses.
Liang Zhao's eyes darkened, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time could no longer be controlled. He pinched Gu Mengran's shoulders and pushed him, then pulled him out of his arms a little roughly.
As expected, Gu Mengran had already woken up, and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes that seemed to smile. Without any hesitation, Liang Zhao did not give him a chance to refuse. He held his shoulders and supported the back of his head, and kissed him irresistibly.
Heavy breathing intertwined, and the hot tip of the tongue pried open the lips and teeth. Liang Zhao seemed to not know how to write the word gentle in this regard. His kiss was urgent and urgent, rough and strong. Once he kissed him, Gu Mengran could no longer breathe through his mouth.
The air was snatched away bit by bit, and the unique scent of the person he loved lingered in his nose. Gu Mengran was dizzy from his kiss and turned around. His heart felt numb and tingling, and an electric current that came from nowhere spread to every part of his limbs.
Lips and teeth met in a hot and suffocating kiss.
Gu Mengran also wanted to take the initiative. He tilted his neck and responded softly, trying to break up the attack and get Liang Zhao to follow his rhythm.
But things went against his wishes. Liang Zhao regarded his gentle response as a stimulant. His breathing became heavier and faster, and the hand clasped on the back of his head became even stronger. Liang Zhao bit him almost out of control, wishing he could rub him into his flesh.
The faint smell of blood aroused Gu Mengran's desire to win, but he couldn't match Liang Zhao's strength, so...
The arm that was hooked around his neck loosened and slowly moved downwards. Liang Zhao immersed himself in the kiss, and Gu Mengran took the opportunity to lift up his shirt, and put his palms on his firm waist and abdomen without any obstruction, and touched them restlessly.
The smooth, tight, and well-defined abdominal muscles are very nice to touch, and the feel is very special. At first, Gu Mengran knew how to restrain himself and gently pinched and touched them with his fingertips. Liang Zhao did not react, so he became bolder and put his whole palm on them, moving back and forth.
"Gu Mengran."
A deep and hoarse voice called out his name, and Gu Mengran woke up as if from a dream.
The extremely aggressive kiss ended and Liang Zhao let go of his mouth.
But when Gu Mengran closed his eyes, a pair of deep eyes came into his sight. Liang Zhao was staring at him straight, with strong and complex emotions surging in his eyes, like a beast ready to attack, ready to dismantle him and eat him in the next second.
Gu Mengran smelled the breath of danger, and his restless little hands stopped at his waist, not daring to move. But Liang Zhao did not let him go, but moved closer, pecked his lips lightly, and asked hoarsely: "Mengran, is it okay?"
But... what a ghost! In broad daylight.
They were all hot-blooded men, and Gu Mengran certainly had lustful thoughts, but it was already daybreak, and the transparent awning was as good as non-existent, not concealing at all. Who would want to...
Gu Mengran's first reaction was to refuse, but he remained silent for too long and his face turned red, which in Liang Zhao's eyes became tacit approval.
Without waiting for him to open his mouth, the kiss began again. This time, Liang Zhao was no longer restricted to his lips. He gently kissed his cheeks and neck, moving slowly and gently downwards.
The air was thick with heat waves, becoming turbid and sticky.
His body suddenly slipped out of his control. Gu Mengran wanted to push him away, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. The gentle attack like a spring breeze made Gu Mengran unable to resist. It was not until he felt a chill on his chest that he realized that his shirt had been pulled off.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
The sudden cough seemed to have pressed the pause button, and the beauty that filled the cabin in the out-of-control morning gradually faded away.
The blazing fire rushed straight to the top of his head. Liang Zhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He regained his sanity and quickly picked up the clothes scattered on the bed and put them on Gu Mengran. He then helped him sit up and patted his back. "I won't bother you anymore. Hurry up and take the medicine."
The heart and soul that was teased by Liang Zhao suddenly stopped at the critical moment, and Gu Mengran was very uncomfortable. After the cough subsided, he turned his head and hugged Liang Zhao's neck again, rubbing against his arms shyly, "Stop coughing, continue."
Liang Zhao opened his arms and hugged him, lowered his eyes slightly, and bent his head to kiss his forehead, "You caught a cold, let's get well first, okay?"
Gu Mengran, filled with lust, shook his head and kept chasing Liang Zhaoqin, "No, I want..."
"Do you want it or not?" Liang Zhao laughed.
Gu Mengran's eyes were blurred. He licked the corner of Liang Zhao's mouth and muttered softly, "I don't want to be sick. I want you."
Liang Zhao's anger had finally subsided, but this sentence ignited it again. His Adam's apple moved up and down, and he used great self-control to suppress the desire in his heart. He pushed Gu Mengran away and said in a hoarse voice, "No. Be obedient and take the medicine first."
A basin of cold water poured over his head, Gu Mengran squinted his mouth and glared at him angrily, "You are really annoying. You are messing around so early in the morning, but you are just adding fuel to the fire."
Liang Zhao laughed at him and rubbed his head hard, "Are you very angry? Wait for Gu Mengran, wait until you get better."
Gu Mengran stopped talking and silently took out medicine and water from the space.
Gu Mengran took two tablets of Ganmaoqing and three tablets of licorice, tilted his head back and threw the tablets deep into his throat. He hurriedly took the mineral water from Liang Zhao and gulped down half a bottle.
The taste of licorice tablets is so strong!
I originally wanted to make a packet of cold medicine, but after pouring the medicine into the cup, I realized there was no hot water. Gu Mengran took out the power strip and electric kettle from the space.
Ten minutes had passed after he finished taking the medicine and washing up. After eating some bread, Liang Zhao sat in the front to drive the boat again. Gu Mengran stayed in bed for a while, but couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and arranged the cabin.
The boat awning was completed yesterday. A curved transparent shell tightly wraps the boat from head to toe. The leaky boat was instantly transformed into a safe haven from wind and rain.
The wind and rain are completely blocked out, and the waves on the water surface cannot come in. Except for two windows on the side that can be opened and closed freely, the cabin is equivalent to a car compartment, a relatively closed space.
We stayed up too late yesterday, so we just put down an inflatable mattress and went to bed early. Although we no longer had to deal with the rain, the cabin was dirty and messy, and it was far from being warm and comfortable.
Gu Mengran, who couldn't sit still, said: Let's get started!
After first putting away the messy things and completely emptying the cabin, Gu Mengran used his hands as a water pipe to quickly re-wet the cabin that had already dried out.
There was still some yellow mud solidified on the bottom of the boat. Worried that it couldn't be washed clean, Gu Mengran poured detergent on it again and let it soak for ten minutes. Then he put on his rain boots and held a floor scrubber in his hand and started to get busy.
The bottom of the boat was fairly smooth, so cleaning it wasn't difficult.
After about 20 minutes, the cabin was cleaned and all the accumulated mud melted into the water. Then, Gu Mengran used the space as a container, first collecting the sewage into the space, and then draining it out of the window to the water surface.
After washing it three times, the cabin was restored to its original state.
Taking out a dry mop from the space, Gu Mengran mopped it back and forth tirelessly until the cabin was completely dry without a drop of excess water.
After throwing the cleaning tools back into the space, Gu Mengran took off his rain boots, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stood there and looked around, deciding to start the arrangement from the stern.
The cabins were all at the same height. If the bed was laid directly on the ship, parallel to the ground, Gu Mengran would feel that something was wrong. He also thought about putting a wooden bed in, but the cabin could not hold too many heavy objects, which would cause the waterline to drop and increase the probability of flooding.
Well, it's been a waste of time.
Sleeping on an inflatable mattress is not a long-term solution. Gu Mengran roughly measured the cabin, picked out an ordinary mattress of 135cm×190cm from the space, and placed it flat and steadily at the stern.
The boat is 1.5 meters wide and the hulls on both sides are quite thick, so the 1.35-meter mattress fits perfectly, neither too big nor too small. It even fits tightly and will not slide due to the shaking of the boat.
Unfortunately, the boat was still too small. Once the 1.9-meter-long mattress was put in place, the cabin was left with only half of its space. But there was nothing he could do. Neither he nor Liang Zhao were small in stature, and it would be quite uncomfortable to sleep on the small bed.
Gu Mengran didn't rush to make the bed. He installed a small shoe cabinet on each side of the bed. The shoe cabinet has three layers in total, less than the height of the calf, and can only hold six pairs of shoes.
To prevent the shoe cabinet from sliding, he used glue to fix the shoe cabinet to the bottom of the boat.
A dark grey plush carpet of appropriate size was laid in the middle of the shoe cabinet, and the cozy little home began to take shape. Then Gu Mengran took out a folding table and two folding chairs from the space, which were folded aside when not in use and opened again when needed.
After a busy day, only the bow was left to be arranged. Gu Mengran stuffed the generator under the cockpit, connected various wires along the bulwark to the stern, and then fixed the wires to the bulwark with self-adhesive wire clips.
In fact, if they don't cook, he and Liang Zhao don't need a generator at all, an outdoor power source will do. But there is a mattress at the stern, and two people have to sleep on it at night, which is not very safe as the stern is heavier than the head.
Thinking of this, Gu Mengran took out two large storage boxes from the space, one for his and Liang Zhao's daily clothes, and the other for some ready-to-eat snacks and fast food, and finally stuffed them all under the driving platform.
This is to make it easier for him to take a nap in case Liang Zhao gets up early and gets hungry.
Electric kettle, bucket, basin, towel, toothbrush... some daily necessities were added to the cabin. Gu Mengran began to install curtains. The bow half could be ignored, but the four sides of the bed had to be strictly covered.
We worked until the afternoon, and the narrow cabin was completely transformed. A warm, comfortable and safe home was born.
Gu Mengran was so tired that he didn't even take a break. He was almost paralyzed by exhaustion. However, looking at the results of his hard work for most of the day, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment swept away his fatigue.
After returning to the room to take a shower, Gu Mengran changed his clothes, took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, spread the mattress, sheets, and quilt cover, and finally placed two pillows side by side at the head of the bed. The soft and comfortable bed was also made up.
Gu Mengran spread his arms and lay down on the bed with his arms and legs spread out. It was indeed much more comfortable than the inflatable mattress that didn't work last night.
Gu Mengran was almost falling asleep as he lay there, but suddenly he thought of something and sat up. He then spread out his palm, and two seconds later, a small silver box appeared in his empty palm.
His face felt slightly hot, Gu Mengran held his breath, and quietly put the small box under the pillow.
