Chapter 70
When Chu Yu woke up, he felt much better. The only flaw was that he felt a little hot. Because his face had been pressed against his childhood friend's chest, he looked dazed when he raised his head, and there was a faint blush on his cheeks.
He got up in a daze, rubbing his eyes while muttering, "I just had a dream."
Luo Jiayu still had one hand on his hair, and the book in the other hand had been replaced by a cell phone at some point, and he looked like he was browsing something.
He quietly turned off his phone, which had just been set to a screen saver. The screen saver picture was a photo he had taken a few minutes ago of the sleeping face of the person in his arms. "What dream?"
"I dreamed that we were going to save the world together, each of us driving a Gundam, but because you didn't pass the third test and didn't get your driver's license, we crashed halfway through the drive... Don't pull my hair."
Luo Jiayu loosened his claws at the right moment after hearing this, but he was reluctant to do so, so he went back and touched the hair hanging by the ear again: "And then?"
Chu Yu blinked, not understanding why he didn't argue that failing the third driving test would not affect his ability to drive a Gundam.
But despite his doubts, he continued to tell about his bizarre dream:
"Then I went to rescue you. You were lying in the mecha, half dead, but you smiled brightly when you saw me. I pulled you out of the mecha and urged you to go back and get your driver's license. We agreed to come back and save the world together next time."
Normally, when the two of them sat face to face at a table or squatted on the side of the road chatting, Luo Jiayu would listen attentively and happily to the other person's bizarre and imaginative dreams, and give even more bizarre and imaginative comments, and in the end, the two of them would hit it off and reach a consensus;
But now, the other person was lying in his arms. One of his hands had just slipped from the other person's hair and was resting lightly on the back of the person's neck. The other hand had put down the phone and was now wrapped around the person's back. Although his expression was still listening, his eyes were empty and his mind was already distracted by other thoughts. Even his response seemed completely irrelevant:
"That's great. Why don't you get some more sleep so you can still save the world."
Chu Yu didn't understand Luo Jiayu's true motive and answered truthfully, "No, saving the world is too tiring, and I didn't even pass the third test."
"Is that so?" Luo Jiayu was lost in thought for a moment before his disconnected thoughts reconnected a little. He tilted his head and looked at his childhood friend in his arms. "That's not right. We were all driving without a license, so why was I the only one who crashed?"
Chu Yu didn't answer. He had basically regained consciousness by now. After sharing his dream, he naturally wanted to get up and leave and walk under the bed, but at this moment, a small pink icon lit up in his sight at an inopportune time.
The news comes from the summary statistics of favorability from forty minutes ago:
11:05 Sleeping with burrowed chest +1 Favorability, 11:06 Sleeping together in embrace +1 Favorability, 11:07 Patting head +1 Favorability, 11:15 Kissing hair +1 Favorability, 11:18 Kissing forehead +1 Favorability, 11:23 Kissing ear +1 Favorability, 11:24 Kissing ear for the second time +1 Favorability, 11:28 Kissing teardrop mole at the corner of the eye +1 Favorability, 11:35 Sleeping in embrace for half an hour +1 Favorability...
He couldn't hear what was said afterwards, as the goodwill poured in like crazy, making him realize belatedly that he was still in the role of a conqueror.
Only later did he realize what the broadcasts actually meant. Several events that increased favorability omitted the subject, and some actions he had never done and could not have done, so the person who did these actions could only be another person.
It took him a while to understand who had secretly kissed him while he was sleeping, from his hair to his forehead, from his ears to the corners of his eyes, and who had done all this secretly and generously given him, the conqueror, a lot of good feelings, making him a master of self-conquest at level ten.
At first, he just slept in the man's arms, but it was too difficult for the target to hide his selfishness, and he exposed a series of things he had done without knowing it.
Good news: If the target is too proactive, his impression of you will grow even without him doing anything good.
The bad news: He's about to explode.
Luo Jiayu was confused to see his childhood friend in front of him first standing there motionless as if frozen, then the blush spread from the tip of his ear, all the way to his entire face, then to his neck, collarbone and shoulders, until he looked like a boiled shrimp.
"What's wrong with you?" He just stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the person's shoulder, but Chu Yu immediately shrank back dozens of centimeters with his legs as if it was a conditioned reflex, all the way to the metal railing at the end of the bed. His eyes were full of panic, and he couldn't even focus. He felt very hot all over.
"No."
"What?" He wanted to ask, but he found that his childhood friend's breathing rate was not right. He took two steps forward. Chu Yu had nowhere to retreat and could only lean back. The closer Luo Jiayu got, the more rapid his breathing became.
"Don't, don't touch it."
Luo Jiayu saw that he was in a mess and immediately withdrew his hand: "I won't touch you, don't be nervous." He was a little afraid that if Chu Yu leaned back again, he would fall down.
Chu Yu felt that the hottest part of his body was his ears. When he thought of the report just now, the place where he had been kissed felt hot as if on fire. He wanted to run, but he was sitting on Luo Jiayu's bed. If he wanted to use the ladder to climb down from the bed, he had to pass Luo Jiayu. He didn't even have the courage to look at the other person.
It's not like he had ever fallen asleep in someone's arms after being too tired, but it was rare. Usually, Chu Yu would get up after sleeping, and then play and make noises. Everything was normal. Luo Jiayu even joked that everything he did consumed battery, and a five-minute call would take two hours to charge.
He also discussed with him when he was free that if both of them turned into chargers, then he would definitely be the Type-C interface, but the C here is the initials of Chu Yu's name in pinyin.
But this time nothing was different.
Everything he did or did that changed the other person's favorability was clearly marked. What was originally considered a normal interaction in his eyes suddenly became completely distorted. He could no longer pretend to be ignorant because the facts were right in front of him: the other person kissed him while he was asleep, and not just once.
He remembered the night before when they slept in each other's arms, and the kiss she had placed on his hair, so gentle and cautious, as if afraid he would notice it. It was a kiss that had nothing to do with friendship.
He had almost forgotten it, but at this moment all the ambiguous actions before it seemed to be resurrected from the depths of his memory. Different scenes jumped out one by one, forming a line, forcing him to remember them one by one, and then face the fact that these memories finally pointed to.
His mind was buzzing with confusion, and Chu Yu didn't even notice when his childhood friend clambered out of bed, poured a glass of cold water, and then jumped back up to hand him the water. When Luo Jiayu brought the cup to his lips, he subconsciously stepped back like a frightened animal.
Seeing that he was about to fall if he retreated any further, Luo Jiayu quickly grabbed his waist and brought him back. Chu Yu bumped into his arm because of his unstable center of gravity, and the water in the cup shook violently, spilling half of the quilt.
After a series of moves that caused a mess, Luo Jiayu calmly handed the remaining half cup of water to the person in his arms. The person in his arms took it reluctantly, but when he looked up, he found that the other person's lips were only a few centimeters away from his face. He mistakenly thought that Luo Jiayu was going to kiss him again, and his hand shook with fear, and the remaining half cup of water spilled onto the sheets.
"..." Before Luo Jiayu could say anything, he saw Chu Yu rolling out of his arms with the blanket. His intuition told him that Chu Yu must be hiding something about him. "What happened?"
Chu Yu picked up his blanket and tried to escape from the ladder. Her face was still hot enough to fry an egg, and she frantically tried to come up with excuses to escape: "The blanket is wet, I'm going to dry it out in the sun."
In the end, he failed to leave. His hand was pulled with great force. Luo Jiayu's tone was a little anxious and tough: "Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Why are you so defensive with me?
The temperature of the skin where it touched quickly soared. Chu Yu couldn't move anymore. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, then exhaled them. She tried to calm herself down from the chaos and tried to pick up her logic that had been shattered by panic.
"Let me calm down, we'll talk tonight."
"Okay." Luo Jiayu seemed calmer than him. "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Chu Yu didn't think about this at all, and said casually: "Jianbing Guozi."
"Egg, tenderloin, bacon, and double hot sauce," Luo Jiayu said, "right?"
Chu Yu nodded.
"Okay." Luo Jiayu continued, "Have you calmed down a bit?"
Chu Yu shook his head.
"No, I can't calm down right now."
While they were talking, Chu Yu kept sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down, as if he was going to climb down the ladder immediately after answering. He felt the force holding his wrist loosen, and immediately grabbed the railing beside the bed, wanting to step on the ladder and jump down directly. As a result, his face was suddenly turned to the side, and he was forced to look at the familiar face so close to him, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Luo Jiayu held his face, and he threw him back onto the bed. He bent down and stared straight into his eyes: "Look at me."
As he wished, he heard the breathing become rapid again, and felt the skin under his fingertips getting hot rapidly.
Chu Yu's face was fixed and he couldn't move, so he couldn't avoid the staring gaze. The surroundings suddenly became silent, causing him to hear his own irregular breathing particularly clearly.
The face that had just cooled down a little turned red again, and the frequency of the trembling of the eyelashes unconsciously increased. Seeing his own appearance through the pair of dark pupils looking at each other, he was visibly panicked, almost to the point of collapse.
After an unknown amount of time, the person on top of him seemed to get the answer from his reaction and loosened his grip. Chu Yu immediately glanced to the side, closed his eyes, took a few breaths, and then muttered two words:
"……night."
Luo Jiayu replied softly: "Okay, tonight."
