Chapter 89 Somewhat Uneasy
It was late at night, and Li Chuan urged Gu Jing to take a shower and go to bed.
When Gu Jing finished washing up and stood at the bedroom door in his pajamas, he was a little hesitant.
"Um...goodnight."
Gu Jing whispered, his eyes wandering.
Li Chuan noticed his nervousness and smiled gently: "Good night, Ajing, call me anytime if you need anything, I'm next door."
Gu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt vaguely disappointed. He nodded and returned to his room.
Li Chuan stood in the corridor and smiled bitterly.
How could he not want to fall asleep holding Gu Jing?
But now Gu Jing has just accepted their relationship, so he can't be too rash.
Gu Jing is so innocent, he doesn't want any rift between them.
More importantly, as an executive officer of the underworld, colleagues from the underworld often visit him at night, and he is afraid that it will affect Gu Jing.
After confirming that the light in Gu Jing's room was off, Li Chuan returned to his bedroom, and the gentleness on his face was instantly replaced by seriousness.
He walked to the window and whispered to the moonlight, "Come out."
A dark figure quietly appeared in the corner of the room, its form blurred and emitting a cold aura: "Sir, there is a disturbance of evil spirits at the border. Lord Yan hopes you can go and deal with it."
"knew."
Li Chuan nodded: "I will go back on Friday."
The shadow hesitated for a moment: "Sir, you have stayed in the human world for too long. Lord Yan is worried that you will..."
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about my personal affairs."
Li Chuan interrupted him, his tone stern: "Gu Jing must live safely in this life. This is the agreement between me and Lord Yan."
The black shadow said no more and disappeared quietly.
Li Chuan sighed, walked to the window and looked at the night sky.
Thinking of the scene in his previous life where Gu Jing died in his arms, his heart ached.
Hundreds of years passed since that separation.
He said he would never let anyone or anything hurt him again.
The next morning, Gu Jing was awakened by the sunshine and the smell of breakfast.
He rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room, and saw Li Chuan busy in the kitchen, with hot porridge and fried eggs on the table.
"good morning."
"Good morning, Ajing." Li Chuan turned around when he heard the noise, with his usual gentle smile on his face.
"Good morning." Gu Jing responded, feeling warm in his heart.
This kind of cohabitation life is better than he imagined.
While eating, Gu Jing noticed that Li Chuan had faint dark circles under his eyes: "Didn't you sleep well?"
"I have a little insomnia, but it's nothing serious." Li Chuan brushed it off lightly.
In fact, he spent the entire night dealing with documents from the underworld and hardly slept a wink.
On the way to school, Li Chuan still held Gu Jing's hand naturally.
But this time Gu Jing was no longer shy, instead he took the initiative to hold him tightly.
On campus, many eyes were still cast on this good-looking gay couple, with curiosity, surprise, and well-intentioned blessings.
Although Gu Jing still felt a little uncomfortable, when he felt the firm warmth coming from the palm of his hand, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared.
Li Chuan doesn't care, so why should he care about other people's opinions?
"I'll pick you up in the afternoon." Li Chuan said when he sent Gu Jing to the classroom door.
"No need, don't you have club activities this afternoon?"
Gu Jing shook his head: "I can go back by myself."
Li Chuan frowned: "I'll pick you up."
"Achuan."
Gu Jing smiled helplessly: "I'm not a child anymore. I can go home by myself. You can't follow me all the time, right?"
Li Chuan hesitated to speak.
His true inner thoughts were: Yes, I wish I could keep you by my side all the time and keep you under my nose to feel at ease.
But excessive protection will only arouse Gu Jing's suspicion.
"Then...you must be careful."
Li Chuan finally chose to compromise: "Go home directly, don't linger on the road, don't talk to strangers, and call me immediately if you encounter anything strange..."
Seeing him looking like he was facing a great enemy, Gu Jing felt both amused and shocked.
He stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Li Chuan on the cheek: "Got it! Boyfriend, bye, see you tonight!"
After saying that, he turned and ran into the teaching building.
Li Chuan touched the place where he was kissed, where the soft touch still remained. Looking at Gu Jing's excited back, the worry in his eyes was replaced by deep tenderness.
This little guy always has a way to melt his cold heart instantly.
However, Li Chuan was in a state of restlessness throughout the whole day.
In class and during club activities, he always couldn't help but check the time on his phone frequently, calculating every moment of Gu Jing's time, such as leaving school, waiting for the bus, and being on the road.
Although he cast a protective spell on Gu Jing, he was still worried that something might happen.
Li Chuan was obviously absent-minded during the club activities in the afternoon.
The president, a gentle man wearing glasses, couldn't help but jokingly said, "Li Chuan, you don't look good today. You seem distracted and keep checking the time. What's going on? Are you in love and waiting for a date?"
Li Chuan forced a smile, did not deny it, but just quickened the pace of packing his things.
As soon as the event ended, he immediately picked up his backpack and was about to leave.
"Hey, where are you going in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
A familiar, teasing voice came from the door of the activity room.
Li Chuan paused and turned around abruptly. Gu Jing was standing there with a slightly smug look on his face:
"I'm here to take you home! Surprise?"
At that moment, Li Chuan felt his heart instantly filled with a huge and surging emotion, and all his anxiety and uneasiness were washed away.
Without even thinking, he took a few big steps forward, opened his arms and hugged Gu Jing tightly in front of everyone.
“Whoa—!”
"Li Chuan, you two... are really together?"
"No wonder he was so absent-minded today. Turns out his family came to check on him!"
The members of the club were stunned at first, and then burst into good-natured heckling and laughter.
Gu Jing was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, his entire face buried in Li Chuan's solid chest, his face red from the tips of his ears to the base of his neck with embarrassment.
He gently nudged Li Chuan and said in a muffled voice, "Hey... there are a lot of people watching here..."
Li Chuan loosened his arms slightly, but one hand was still firmly around Gu Jing's waist. He glanced at the crowd of onlookers and frankly admitted:
"Well, we're together now. Let's go first today."
The tone was filled with undisguised possessiveness and pride.
Gu Jing blushed and quickly grabbed Li Chuan's hand, almost escaping from the activity room.
It was not until he walked out of the teaching building and bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun that he breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Li Chuan in reproach:
"What are you doing? There are so many people..."
Li Chuan just looked down at him and smiled, his eyes so gentle that they could drown people: "Happy." After a pause, he added, "I'm glad you came to pick me up."
"Then let's go home~" Gu Jing smiled at him.
Li Chuan watched Gu Jing chattering about the interesting things that happened today. Perhaps in this life, they could really live an ordinary and happy life like ordinary couples.
