Chapter 178 "Baby, no..."
Chapter 178 "Baby, no..."
In that corner of the ancient city that has been treated gently by time, the sun shines lazily on the bluestone road, and the golden light and the quaint alleys are interwoven into a breathtaking picture.
In this quiet afternoon, an emotional storm is quietly brewing. Two originally parallel hearts are slowly approaching each other because of the thread of fate, but they are entangled with each other and difficult to break free.
Lin Yi is a gentle and refined man. His voice is like a gentle spring breeze, soft and magnetic, which can easily smooth out the wrinkles in people's hearts.
Gu Chen, a young man who seems unruly but is actually deeply in love, has stars and oceans in his eyes. Once he makes up his mind, he vows to give everything to pursue it.
Today, Gu Chen stepped into Lin Yi's residence with an almost pious attitude. The moment the door opened, a sense of tranquility and elegance that did not belong to the outside world came to his face.
He carefully placed the plate in his hand on the table. It was the lunch he prepared for Lin Yi himself. Every dish carried his unspoken care and affection for Lin Yi.
Gu Chen turned around, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning every corner of the room, and finally fixed on the slightly tired but still handsome face.
Lin Yi was lying on the bed, seemingly unaware of the visitor's arrival. That tranquility formed a sharp contrast with the turbulent waves that were about to happen in the outside world.
"Brother, this chain is so beautiful."
Gu Chen whispered softly, his fingertips gently stroking the delicate chain bound on Lin Yi's wrist, a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's a perfect match for you."
Lin Yi frowned slightly, and an inexplicable chill rose from his spine. He tried to sit up, but found that he was firmly bound by this invisible force.
Gu Chen's figure looked particularly tall under the sunlight, and there was an irresistible determination hidden in his smile.
"Baby, what are you doing?" Lin Yi's voice was calm, but he could not hide his anger.
"Baby, untie me."
Gu Chen approached slowly, a barely perceptible sadness flashing in his eyes.
"Brother, do you really not understand my feelings?"
There was a hint of grievance in his tone, like a misunderstood child.
"I just want to be closer to you, closer."
Lin Yi's eyes widened. He had never seen Gu Chen behave so out of control, and he never expected that his avoidance of Gu Chen would cause him to behave so extreme.
"Gu Chen, wake up! It's impossible for us to do this."
"impossible?"
Gu Chen smiled bitterly, his eyes suddenly became crazy and fiery,
"Your last name is Lin, and mine is Gu. Legally and blood-related, we have no ties. So, who can tell me why you keep rejecting me? Is it because I'm not good enough, or because you simply don't dare to face your own feelings?"
Lin Yi felt mixed emotions when he heard this.
He knew very well that he had indescribable feelings for Gu Chen, but that feeling was mixed with too many complicated emotions - family affection, friendship, and even a vague throbbing.
However, what lies between them is not just the difference in names and surnames, but also the invisible ethical network.
"Baby, we... are just brothers." Lin Yi's voice was trembling a little. He tried to use this last bit of reason to wake up Gu Chen.
"brother?"
Gu Chen chuckled, and there was both helplessness and determination in that chuckle, "
If this is your answer, then I am willing to spend my whole life proving that the relationship between us can transcend all boundaries."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Chen leaned down. His kiss was like a sudden rainstorm in summer, hot and fierce, catching Lin Yi off guard.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, all struggles and resistances turned into nothingness, and only two hearts were left dancing wildly in each other's world.
Gu Chen's kiss came like a surging tide, with irresistible power, forcing Lin Yi to face the desire and struggle deep in his heart.
He closed his eyes and let the emotion overwhelm him, but at some point he suddenly woke up and tried to push away the person in front of him.
"Baby, no..." Lin Yi's voice was weak, but extremely firm.
He knew very well that once they crossed this line, they would never be able to go back to the way they were before.
Gu Chen's body stiffened slightly, and then he hugged Lin Yi even tighter, as if he wanted to merge him into his bones and blood.
"Brother, I have waited too long and don't want to wait any longer."
His voice was low and hoarse, revealing an unprecedented seriousness and determination.
Lin Yi felt Gu Chen's persistence and pain, and his heart was torn.
He understood that everything Gu Chen did was due to that deep and passionate love.
But this love is an insurmountable gap for them.
"Gu Chen, we need to calm down."
Lin Yi finally found his voice. He tried to use reason to convince the other party.
"You deserve someone better, and I'm not your destiny."
A trace of pain flashed across Gu Chen's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He let go of Lin Yi, took a few steps back, and stared at the face that had haunted him.
"Okay, let's calm down." His voice was unusually calm, yet it concealed unknown emotions.
"But brother, please remember that my love for you will never change."
In the following days, Gu Chen no longer appeared in Lin Yi's life, as if he had evaporated overnight. Lin Yi fell into
Lin Yi fell into deep self-blame and contradiction.
He began to re-examine his feelings for Gu Chen and found that he had actually been deeply involved in it for a long time.
However, moral and ethical constraints prevented him from easily accepting this relationship.
One night a few days later, Lin Yi received a text message from Gu Chen:
"Brother, I'll wait for you at the old place."
Lin Yi's heart beat faster, he knew that the "old place" was the beach where they often went together when they were children.
Lin Yi came to the beach and saw Gu Chen standing quietly on the beach, his back looking lonely and determined.
The sea breeze blew by, lifting the corners of Gu Chen's clothes, and he seemed to have merged with this world.
"Brother, I've thought a lot. I know we face many difficulties, but I really can't give up my love for you."
Gu Chen turned around, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Lin Yi walked to Gu Chen's side, and the two looked at each other silently.
At that moment, they seemed to have forgotten all the troubles in the world, leaving only their sincere feelings for each other.
"Baby, I like you too..." Lin Yi said softly, his voice drifting in the sea breeze.
A happy smile appeared on Gu Chen's face. He hugged Lin Yi tightly, as if he owned the whole world.
From then on, they decided to bravely face the challenges of the future together and write their own love story together.
