Chapter 43: Adultery 10
A few days before departure, Gu Yanchen had a cold.
When we arrived in City S, the weather was hot and stuffy, and it felt like a heavy rain was about to happen, which made us feel very uncomfortable.
The organizer of the exchange meeting sent a car and arranged accommodation in advance. Although the Gu family also has property in City S, Gu Yanchen and Gu Rong will only be here for three days and two nights. There is really no need to stay separately, so they went directly to the hotel arranged by the organizer. It was a suite with two rooms, one inside and one outside.
Gu Rong said she wanted to live in the inner room, so Gu Yanchen asked someone to put her luggage outside.
"It's boring."
Gu Rong muttered something and carried his luggage into the room.
When I came out, I saw Gu Yanchen taking medicine.
He leaned against the door frame with his arms folded. "There's a banquet tonight. You took cold medicine, so you can still drink tonight?"
Gu Yanchen pinched his brows, his voice a little muffled, his throat a little dry: "It's okay, it's okay."
"It's too late when something happens."
Gu Rong snorted: "Gu Yanchen, are you overworked or worried too much? You actually caught a cold out of nowhere."
[It can’t be because of me.]
How is that impossible?
Gu Yanchen sighed deeply in his heart, wondering who else could make him worry so much except Gu Rong.
Moreover, he was testing him again.
It has become common for Gu Yanchen to change the subject: "Have you prepared all the information I asked you to prepare?"
"Don't worry about it."
Gu Rong rolled his eyes: "Mind your own business."
He told Gu Yanchen to take care of himself, but at the evening dinner of the exchange meeting, Gu Rong calmly blocked a lot of wine for Gu Yanchen.
This exchange meeting was said to last for three days and two nights, but in fact there were no formal activities on the first day. The most important occasion was the banquet in the evening. In an informal social setting, drinking and chatting were inevitable, and someone like Gu Yanchen could not be ignored. Even if not everyone could come to him, he would still drink a lot in one night.
But now most of the wine is in Gu Rong's stomach.
Gu Yanchen didn't want Gu Rong to help him block the wine, but Gu Rong wanted to spread the news of his cold to everyone. Naturally, those people didn't dare to let him drink, and asked Gu Rong to do it instead.
"It doesn't matter. I'm your assistant now anyway, so it's my duty to help you block the wine."
Gu Yanchen frowned and glanced at Gu Rong.
In fact, when Gu Rong was asked to be his assistant at the beginning, Gu Yanchen did not think that Gu Rong could do the job well. However, the fact was that Gu Rong had been doing a very good job during this period. There was nothing to criticize. He did not make trouble, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for anyone. Even Qi Si could not help but mutter that the second young master Gu could actually be an assistant peacefully.
It was indeed unexpected.
That's why Gu Yanchen considered transferring Gu Rong to another position when the opportunity was right.
He had said the same thing to Gu Rong before.
Gu Rong should understand what he means.
But he didn't seem very happy.
Gu Yanchen didn't know whether Gu Rong was helping him block the wine because of his assistant status, or because he was worried about his health, or for some other reason. He didn't dare to think too deeply about it and could only agree with Gu Rong's statement. Both of them had their own thoughts and were a little absent-minded and distracted. As a result, Gu Rong accidentally drank too much again.
Thinking of Gu Rong's behavior after he drank too much last time, Gu Yanchen couldn't help but feel nervous.
But this time they were out alone, and Gu Yanchen couldn't leave Gu Rong alone.
Especially since Gu Rong drank this wine for him.
When the dinner ended, it was already very late. The weather outside was gloomy and stuffy all day. It was finally going to rain. There were bursts of thunder and it felt like a heavy rain was about to fall. Fortunately, the dinner for the exchange meeting was held in the hotel where they were staying, so they didn't need to go outside, which saved a lot of trouble.
I don’t know if the weather affects people, but this time when Gu Rong got drunk, he didn’t make any noise. He was quiet until he returned to the suite.
This made Gu Yanchen breathe a sigh of relief.
It was not until they entered the room that Gu Rong said he wanted to take a shower.
He spoke unclearly, and Gu Yanchen finally understood it after he spoke twice.
Then Gu Rong was seen staggering towards the bathroom.
This suite has a large bathroom with translucent frosted glass and a large bathtub facing a floor-to-ceiling window, offering a view of the outside.
The organizers of the exchange meeting were willing to spend money. The hotel they stayed in was the best in the city, and the room reserved for Gu Yanchen was the best of the best. In addition, City S was by the sea, so whether looking out from Gu Rong's room or from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom, one could see the scenery of the nearby bay.
Although the weather is not good today, rainy nights also have their own unique charm. The sky is glowing purple, and occasionally a flash of lightning can light up the sky.
It's really nice to take a bath or soak here.
but......
Seeing Gu Rong almost tripped over the carpet when passing by the living room, Gu Yanchen had to go over and support him.
"You're drunk, so it's inconvenient for you to take a shower. Take it tomorrow morning."
Gu Yanchen was strong, so he helped Gu Rong walk into the inner room. Just like last time, he took off Gu Rong's coat and wiped him.
But Gu Rong, who had been so quiet before, was now like a heavy weight, sinking down all of a sudden, holding Gu Yanchen down and not letting him move. He frowned, hummed, stretched out his hand to grab Gu Yanchen's sleeve, twisting it stubbornly: "No... I want to wash it, wash it now..."
"You can't even stand steadily, how are you going to wash?"
Gu Yanchen was still quite patient. He put his hands under Gu Rong's armpits and lifted him up, actually lifting him up.
Then he pinched Gu Rong's waist with one hand, half lifted and half hugged her, and was about to send Gu Rong to the inner room again.
"No, I don't—"
Gu Rong frowned tightly, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he smiled suddenly, raised his arms, and put them around Gu Yanchen's neck: "Why don't you just wash it for me——"
"no."
Before he even finished speaking, Gu Yanchen decisively rejected him.
"Why."
Gu Yanchen took a deep breath secretly: "No reason, it will be the same if I wash it tomorrow morning——"
"no the same!"
This time, before Gu Yanchen finished speaking, Gu Rong suddenly became excited.
"It's different, it's different... different!"
Gu Rong's voice became louder and his strength increased. He suddenly pushed Gu Yanchen away. Although Gu Yanchen was a little unsteady, Gu Rong staggered backward and sat on the ground. Then, when Gu Yanchen called him and came to help him up, he resisted and pushed Gu Yanchen away. He climbed up with difficulty and walked towards the bathroom.
"If you don't wash me, I'll wash it myself..."
With a bang, Gu Rong bumped into the door again.
When I entered the bathroom, I slipped again and almost fell.
Seeing this, Gu Yanchen couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He didn't understand why Gu Rong suddenly acted like this again, or maybe he didn't want to think too deeply about it. As if he wanted to argue with Gu Rong, he also walked into the bathroom and insisted on pulling the person out.
"How are you going to wash in this state?!"
With a loud bang.
Thunder began to rumble outside.
Only then did Gu Yanchen notice that the rain had not started yet.
When he looked away, he saw Gu Rong staring at him with red eyes.
"Gu Yanchen..."
Everything seemed to go back to the time when Gu Rong got drunk.
It was the fragile expression he didn't have when he was awake, and the indescribable emotions in his eyes when he looked at him, that made Gu Yanchen dare not even look at him any longer.
"Gu Rong, be obedient."
Gu Yanchen couldn't help but soften his tone: "It's not convenient for you to take a shower now, wait until tomorrow-"
Rumble!
Wow——
There was a startling muffled thunder, and heavy rain suddenly began to fall. The raindrops hit the floor-to-ceiling windows with a crackling sound, which made people's hearts go crazy.
Gu Rong threw herself on Gu Yanchen, and her lips were imprinted on Gu Yanchen's lips, rolling and grinding. There was no airtightness between their lips, and she could fully measure the temperature and touch of the other person's lips. Her arm was tightly grasped, as if she was grasping the only life-saving straw, and she was desperate and resolute.
Gu Yanchen froze in place, not knowing how to react.
It was not until the tip of Gu Rong's tongue was about to explore his mouth and he felt the wetness that Gu Yanchen suddenly reacted and pushed the person away.
"Gu Rong! You——"
Gu Rong was pushed against the wall of the bathroom and then slid down the wall. Perhaps because he had exhausted all his energy, he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
Gu Yanchen felt as if his fist was hitting cotton, neither going up nor down. He stared at Gu Rong for a long time without moving.
The rain was pouring down outside, and the thunder was terrifying and deafening, as if it had struck Gu Yanchen's head, causing him to feel confused and have a splitting headache.
This is his younger brother.
And he just... kissed his own brother?
All along, Gu Yanchen was unwilling to face this reality, thinking that he could turn Gu Rong back to normal, and he was even unwilling to say that word. But now, can he still deceive himself...Gu Rong's excitement, fragility, and collapse are all because of him. Is he really...Gu Yanchen suddenly closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
I don't know how long they stood there, so long that Gu Rong curled up on the ground, before Gu Yanchen finally moved.
He picked up Gu Rong in silence, paused when he touched Gu Rong's body, and then stood up as usual. Then he carried Gu Rong out of the bathroom and put him on the bed.
He still took off Gu Rong's coat, went to the bathroom to wash the towel, wiped the person's face, and then wiped his hands. Everything was in order, as if he had sorted out his emotions. Even when he left, he remembered to cover Gu Rong with a quilt, adjust the temperature of the room to the appropriate degree, and then close the door.
It was not until the next day that Gu Rong woke up and found that Gu Yanchen had a high fever, his cold had worsened, and he looked drowsy.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you take your medicine when you came back last night?"
Gu Yanchen raised his eyes, his eyes a little red, perhaps because of the fever, and stared at Gu Rong for a long time.
"What?" Gu Rong looked at Gu Yanchen and asked back.
"Nothing."
Gu Yanchen withdrew his gaze, stood up and put on his clothes.
Gu Rong stood beside him and asked, "Are you still able to attend today's exchange meeting?"
"able."
Facts have proved that not only was Gu Yanchen capable, but when he was invited to a dinner party in the evening, he did not let Gu Rong stop him from drinking and drank a lot himself.
For this kind of exchange meeting, in addition to the dinner hosted by the organizer on the first night, there will also be invited dinners on the other two days. After all, a lot of information is exchanged over the dinner table, and many collaborations are also discussed over the dinner table. Such social engagements are absolutely unavoidable.
So that night, it was Gu Yanchen's turn to get drunk.
However, Gu Yanchen is much easier to take care of than Gu Rong. After returning to the suite, just put him on the bed.
Gu Rong followed Gu Yanchen's example, took off his shoes and coat, and stood by the bed, looking at him for a long time.
It rained for a long time last night, and the weather was already hot and humid. Gu Rong had sweat on his forehead, and so did Gu Yanchen. He even had a fever and a cold, and he had also drunk some alcohol. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were closed, and he looked very uncomfortable lying on the bed.
"Gu Yanchen?"
Gu Rong suddenly called out Gu Yanchen's name.
Gu Yanchen frowned and did not respond, seeming to have fallen asleep due to being drunk and uncomfortable.
So Gu Rong squatted down beside Gu Yanchen's bed and looked at Gu Yanchen from a closer distance.
"I woke up this morning sore all over and kept thinking about what happened last night."
Under the quilt, Gu Yanchen moved his fingers and slowly curled up.
“Then it all came back to me.”
Gu Rong stared at Gu Yanchen's face: "Do you know something?"
"Otherwise, why are you so reluctant to give me a bath? You don't want to see my body, afraid of dirtying your eyes?"
Gu Rong sneered: "You also gave me a bath when we were little, why don't you want to do it now? Just like that night, you didn't care about me."
"Isn't it natural for an older brother to take care of his younger brother?"
"Okay, you haven't really taken care of me."
Gu Rong squatted beside the bed, pressed his hands on the bed, and moved closer to Gu Yanchen: "But it's okay to watch me take a shower, but you don't even want to look after me."
"Why?"
"I kissed you yesterday, didn't I?"
"And then you pushed me down again. It hurt, bro."
It seems to be raining again tonight.
Gu Rong smiled when he heard the sound of thunder and rain, then lowered his voice and said, "The thunder was so loud yesterday and today. Is it going to strike me?"
"Because... I fell in love with my brother?"
Suddenly, Gu Yanchen clenched his hands tightly, using all his strength to stop himself from moving and restrain all his misbehavior.
"Brother, what do we call this?"
Gu Rong leaned close to Gu Yanchen's ear and asked, "Is it incest... or is it incest between brothers?"
