Chapter 78 Extra 05
The air conditioner was on in the living room. Ji Ruan was being kissed passionately by Gu Xiuyi. The cold air swept across his back from behind, making him shiver.
"Is it cold?" Gu Xiuyi asked sensitively. He stopped, turned up the temperature with the remote control, and hugged Ji Ruan's back: "Why are you shivering?"
Ji Ruan sniffed, his eyes red, and he panted a little: "It's okay, um... maybe I sweated a little outside just now, so the air conditioner is cool."
Gu Xiuyi immediately reached his hand under the hem of his T-shirt and felt the skin underneath was wet and cold.
"Nonsense." Gu Xiuyi's face darkened.
The beauty in the room disappeared completely, and he carried Ji Ruan upstairs without saying a word.
Gu Xiuyi frowned tightly. It is easy to catch a cold when sweating and using air conditioning, not to mention that Ji Ruan's physical condition was not good.
Ji Ruan was carried by Gu Xiuyi to sit on the bed. She watched him quickly go into the bathroom to run the water. A few minutes later, she was stripped naked and thrown into the bathtub.
He took a very tight bath until his whole body turned red like a boiled shrimp, then he was fished out, cleaned, and taken outside to have his hair blown.
"Don't be so nervous," Ji Ruan hooked Gu Xiuyi's little finger, looked at the man in front of him who was facing a formidable enemy, and smiled helplessly: "I am in much better shape now."
The so-called much better was only compared to when the operation was just over. Compared with others, Ji Ruan's physique was still as fragile as a glass doll. Gu Xiuyi did not dare to take it lightly.
He turned off the hair dryer, his fingers still embedded in Ji Ruan's hair. Part of the soft hair was warmed by the hot air, while the ends of the other part were not completely dry and were a little damp and cool.
He touched Ji Ruan's cheek with the back of his hand. She had just taken a bath, so her skin was smoother than usual and still warm. Gu Xiuyi seemed to be melted by the warmth.
"I was too nervous..." He relaxed a little and his tone softened.
Ji Ruan shook his head, put his arms around Gu Xiuyi's waist, and looked up at him: "But I like that you care about me so much."
When he looked at people like this, there was always a unique seriousness in his expression that made people unable to take their eyes away. Gu Xiuyi's heart seemed to be crushed by him, turning into bits of sourness and throbbing that flowed into his blood.
Gu Xiuyi took a deep breath, turned on the hair dryer, and continued to play with Ji Ruan's soft hair.
·
That afternoon, Ji Ruan was very lucky not to get sick, and his good condition continued until the day he passed the driving test.
When I took the third subject exam, the time had passed the hot autumn season of October and entered the late autumn of November.
Gu Xiuyi didn't go to work the whole day and went to accompany Ji Ruan to the exam. He brought Ji Ruan's special thermos cup and small blanket, and accompanied Ji Ruan to the examination room in a solemn manner as if sending a child to the college entrance examination.
Except for the candidates and coaches, no other people were allowed to enter the venue. Unfortunately, Mr. Gu became a bystander and could only wait silently outside the iron gate.
Ji Ruan had never been troubled by exams since he was a child, and getting a driver's license was easy for him. Within a few hours, Gu Xiuyi met the excited child named Ji outside the door of the test room for Part 4.
It was a sunny day with a warm autumn atmosphere. Ji Ruan, holding a dark notebook and wearing a beige plush coat, flew towards him in the sunshine.
The ends of his hair were blown up and down by the wind, trembling and fluttering. Gu Xiuyi only had time to see his dazzlingly beautiful smile, and then instinctively opened his arms to catch him.
"I got my driver's license!" Ji Ruan jumped happily.
The result of being too excited was that, regardless of the looks of people around her, she put her arms around Gu Xiuyi's neck and kissed him.
Gu Xiuyi had never received so many kisses from Ji Ruan at the same time. His heart was flying to the sky and the blood in his body was boiling.
After arriving home, Ji Ruan walked in front with his cell phone, taking pictures of his beloved little notebook to show his roommates the great news.
But before she could send the message, as soon as she passed the entrance, Gu Xiuyi grabbed her waist and pushed her against the sink, and her phone fell to the ground with a thud.
Ji Ruan's eyes blurred, and deep kisses began to fall on him.
Gu Xiuyi carried him to the sink with one hand and sat him down. He held the back of his head and kissed him passionately but restrainedly. His love was so strong that it was difficult to restrain. However, his remaining rationality told him not to hurt Ji Ruan.
Ji Ruan seemed to be floating in the sea, sometimes being thrown high up, sometimes falling heavily. In the increasingly dizzy state, he bravely put his arms around Gu Xiuyi's neck and stretched out his tongue in response, like a rose retracting its thorns and spreading its petals, soft and affectionate.
Gu Xiuyi's body obviously stiffened for a moment, and then the heat that fell on Ji Ruan's ears became even stronger, almost burning Ji Ruan.
He untied the bow tie that was almost suffocating him, put his arms around Ji Ruan's waist and carried him upstairs. His unruly steps scared the stupid cat at home and it ran away.
It was cold, so Gu Xiuyi closed the doors and windows, turned on the heater, and turned off the last small table lamp.
Ji Ruan lay on his back on the bed with his black hair spread out. His bed sheets were like soft clouds, as if he was also lying in the clouds.
Only when he got closer could Gu Xiuyi see the love in his eyes.
There was a joyful bird in Gu Xiuyi's heart.
This bird has been imprisoned in his heart for a long, long time, and now it is struggling to fly out.
It broke through the cage, bit off the shackles, turned into an eagle, flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
The sky was covered with dense clouds, with countless soft clouds scattered around. The eagle soared through them, flapping its wings straight towards the two clouds in the deepest part.
They huddle among the layers of clouds, facing the white light at the end of the universe, shyly showing the pearls hidden inside.
But the eagle's wings are too sharp and will scratch the clouds. It circles around patiently, letting the mist wet its feathers and kneading the moist clouds. It gently collides with the most vulnerable gap between the two petals of the clouds and tentatively approaches.
The clouds were reluctant to accept, and trembled their fragile bodies to shyly offer the pearls, but were unable to bear to take them back because of the eagle's careless recklessness, overlapping layer by layer, blocking the sunlight.
The atmosphere suddenly became thick with moisture. The eagle gently slapped the fluffy clouds. As the light from the sky faded, it fiercely broke through the dense clouds and grabbed the pearl buried deep within with its hard beak.
The clouds sobbed and trembled violently, and in a trance, they wet the eagle's wings even more thoroughly. The eagle flapped its wings frequently, causing the clouds to shrink continuously, and crystal raindrops poured down all over the sky.
Crash——
It rained on earth.
It was dark and the ground was dripping.
Gu Xiuyi turned on the wall lamp and very gently carried Ji Ruan to the bathroom to wash her clean.
The sound of raindrops was heard outside the window. He changed into clean bed sheets and fell asleep in Ji Ruan's arms.
Ji Ruan was extremely tired, but she still lingered in his ear for a long time before she curled up in his arms and fell asleep.
Gu Xiuyi didn't dare sleep too deeply that night. When he opened his eyes in the hazy early morning, he found that something was wrong with Ji Ruan.
His breathing was heavy and the temperature of his face was much higher than usual. Gu Xiuyi woke up instantly, jumped up, turned on the light and looked for the thermometer.
Last time, after Li Suian said that the thermometer gun can only measure the surface temperature of the body and is not as effective as a thermometer, Gu Xiuyi stocked up a few more thermometers at home.
Ji Ruan was in a daze and barely conscious, her lips slightly open and her brows furrowed as she gasped. Gu Xiuyi waited anxiously by the bed for five minutes, then took the thermometer from under Ji Ruan's arm. It was 38 degrees, and indeed she had a fever.
He suddenly felt uneasy and picked up his phone to call Li Suian.
Ji Ruan was awakened by muffled voices. He opened his eyes and his vision was blurry.
Gu Xiuyi was sitting on the edge of the bed holding his cell phone. He couldn't see Gu Xiuyi's expression clearly. The clearest thing he could see was the corner of the pajamas of the person beside him.
"Awake?" Gu Xiuyi hung up the phone immediately after seeing him open his eyes, leaned over and touched his face: "Are you feeling uncomfortable, baby?"
Ji Ruan opened his mouth: "Gu...cough, cough, cough!"
He didn't even get to shout out Gu Xiuyi's name before he was interrupted by a series of coughs. His throat felt itchy, dry and astringent.
"Don't talk for now." Gu Xiuyi held his back and sat him up, pulled up the blanket to wrap him, and gently stroked his chest.
Ji Ruan frowned uncomfortably, grabbing Gu Xiuyi's collar with his fingers, and coughed for a long time before slowly stopping. Then Gu Xiuyi held his chin and fed him some water.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked Ji Ruan in her ear.
Ji Ruan's eyes were red and his gaze was dazed. He tried to concentrate and nodded.
Gu Xiuyi took the external device and put it on him, holding his face and asking, "Can you hear me clearly?"
His voice was very gentle, even a little too low as if he was afraid of scaring Ji Ruan, but Ji Ruan could feel the tension in his whole body.
Ji Ruan smiled comfortingly: "I heard it very clearly."
"Here, does it hurt?" Gu Xiuyi touched the skin behind his ear with his fingertips.
Ji Ruan felt it carefully: "It doesn't hurt."
Only then did Gu Xiuyi feel slightly relieved.
According to Li Suian, as long as there is no problem with the ear, it is just a simple cold and there is no need to rush to the hospital. Take some medicine and rest first. It will not be too late to come to the hospital if the fever has not subsided tomorrow morning.
Gu Xiuyi poured a cup of hot water, took the antipyretic medicine, and held Ji Ruan in his arms: "You have a little fever. Can we take the medicine and observe it?"
Ji Ruan's body went very soft, and he melted in Gu Xiuyi's arms like a pool of water. He nodded, and took the medicine from Gu Xiuyi's hand. Gu Xiuyi then tore off a fever-reducing patch and put it on his forehead.
His waist ached so much that he couldn't sit still for a while. He sobbed and pulled Gu Xiuyi's hand over, saying in a hoarse voice: "It hurts so much..."
Gu Xiuyi knew that he had made a big fuss, so he didn't have any temper at all. He quickly held his waist and massaged it gently, whispering in his ear to coax him:
"Does it hurt? Let's rub it, and it will stop hurting. I promise to be gentler next time, okay?..."
Gu Xiuyi was already very experienced in taking care of people, but even with his skill, his heart would still beat fast with uneasiness after he had done everything.
Maybe because she was feeling uncomfortable, Ji Ruan couldn't fall asleep again. She was so sleepy that she could only frown and hum in Gu Xiuyi's arms.
His eyelashes drooped and he looked very depressed.
Gu Xiuyi held up his face and asked, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Or should we go to the hospital directly?"
Ji Ruan shook his head and coughed twice, then raised his wet eyes and looked at Gu Xiuyi: "I'm sorry, I'm sick again..."
Gu Xiuyi couldn't bear to see him like this, his heart ached: "Don't blame you, you are the one who is sick and uncomfortable."
And in the final analysis, it was all Gu Xiuyi's fault for forgetting to exercise restraint. He made a fuss until the evening, not caring whether Ji Ruan could bear it or not.
Ji Ruan pursed his pale lips. He was an inexperienced person and probably didn’t connect the fever with that kind of thing. He just felt that his body was not doing well. He said in annoyance, “But because of me, you can’t sleep well and you’re having a hard time. Obviously, I’ve been fine recently. I really…”
Gu Xiuyi felt very sad.
"Ji Ruan." He called his name: "I'm not tired at all. This is a very happy thing."
He was amazingly focused and serious: "If it weren't for you, I would never have such a close person in this world, and I would never understand what an intimate relationship means to me in my life."
It means that his coming to this world was not in vain. He has experienced all kinds of life and had all kinds of emotions. He now knows that when you love someone wholeheartedly, you will become unlike yourself.
He will be unpredictable, intimidating, jealous and envious, and will want to possess him in a despicable way, but will also want to see him shine in the spotlight.
When he liked Ji Ruan, not all his thoughts were necessarily selfless and open-minded, but his emotions were strong and vivid every minute of every second. His heart would beat violently against his chest, his brain would be congested, his thinking would short-circuit, and he would show joy on his face because of a word from the other person.
This is a precious emotion that Gu Xiuyi had never experienced in the first thirty years of his life.
When he spoke to Ji Ruan, he always did it in a coaxing and docile manner, and rarely took such a serious attitude. He stared at Ji Ruan with his dark eyes:
"So don't ever have that kind of thought again, understand?"
Ji Ruan was dizzy from the fever and his mind was not working, but he could feel Gu Xiuyi's seriousness.
He felt warm in his heart, smiled with his eyes curved, and kissed the corner of Gu Xiuyi's lips: "I know, I like you so much."
Even though his voice was still hoarse, the words that came out sounded like honey.
Gu Xiuyi felt empty in his heart again.
He had to admit that Ji Ruan was indeed not as roundabout as he was. She expressed her love directly and purely. If she liked someone, she just liked him. She didn't need any reasons to move herself, nor did she have so many "meanings".
But his heart would beat so fast that it would be overloaded just because Ji Ruan blurted out that he liked him.
Gu Xiuyi lowered his head and gave Ji Ruan a hot kiss on her earlobe.
Whenever I think about being able to kiss Ji Ruan like this every year and every day in the future, I will feel that the world is wonderful, but time is rushing.
How can just loving each other for a few decades be enough?
He hugged Ji Ruan tightly, thinking about asking him the next morning whether he was willing to live with him in the next life.
Of course the answer is unique, and he will not give a negative option.
