Chapter 138 The Scorching Sun (37 pages)
After getting off work, Qi Xuan drove to the Jiangbin Apartment building. He sat in the car for a long time, thinking, and then decided to go upstairs.
He thought Gu Yao would be asleep by now, but when he opened the door, he was met with the boy's expectant eyes.
The light in the living room was still on, waiting for him to come back.
The boy, dressed in his pajamas, was huddled in the corner of the sofa, hugging his knees and burying his face in the back of his knees. The moment he heard the door open, he suddenly looked up.
His brown eyes, illuminated by a dim yellow light, appeared as clear as glass.
His clear eyes were misty from a yawn, like the first wisp of morning mist, carrying a hint of dampness.
It was the first rain in March in Jiangnan.
It was hazy and intoxicating.
"Why are you only getting back now? I'm so sleepy."
As he spoke, Gu Yao yawned again and rubbed his eyes.
The boy's voice was slightly muffled due to drowsiness, and it sounded soft, like a feather gently brushing against Qi Xuan's heart.
It caused a slight tremor.
The boy reached out to Qi Xuan, wanting a hug.
Qi Xuan looked at Gu Yao, who was so obedient it was unbelievable, and clenched his fingers into a fist in the shadows.
Just as the boy is now standing in the light, while he himself is standing in the darkness.
He was covered in filth and shouldn't have dragged the blazing sun into the dirty mud.
Suppressing the urge to hug the boy, Qi Xuan's face remained stiff and cold, his voice icy, "Gu Yao, are you implying something to me right now?"
Gu Yao, who was genuinely getting sleepy from waiting, was speechless.
What kind of baffling, domineering CEO statement is this?!
Gu Yao looked bewildered and glanced down at her pajamas. They weren't some kind of cheap, tear-open underwear she bought on Taobao, were they?
It's a very normal two-piece set for home, with long sleeves and pants.
Gu Yao then shifted his gaze to Qi Xuan's face, the young man's features hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to discern his expression.
He knew that Qi Xuan must have a reason for wanting to get rid of him. It was probably the head of the Qi family who was angry because he didn't see him last time.
Qi Xuan can't even utter a harsh word, so who is he trying to drive away?
Gu Yao was somewhat helpless. He was genuinely tired and had no interest in engaging in any of that melodramatic, love-hate relationship stuff with Qi Xuan.
There are only two years left.
Let him have some fun.
Anyway, he shouldn't die before the appointed time.
After all, even the time when Gu's mother fell ill was exactly the same as in the original owner's memory.
His time of death should also be the same as in the story.
If I do the math, it should be a little over two years.
die young.
How miserable.
Gu Yao turned to look at Qi Xuan, who was still standing motionless at the gate as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.
He has to come.
Gu Yao sighed, put on his slippers, walked up to Qi Xuan, and extended his hand to him.
"Brother Xuan, can I have a bedtime hug tonight?"
Qi Xuan watched as the boy walked towards him step by step, from the bright lights to the shadows in front of him, still recklessly reaching out his hand.
They tried to bring him that light.
Before him, I wanted to pull him into the light.
Qi Xuan looked at the boy in front of him, backlit, as if he had brought a sky full of stars.
These stars, however, lingered before him.
Why?
Qi Xuan's clenched hand gradually loosened under the boy's gaze, but he still didn't have the courage to reach out.
The waters around the Qi family are too murky.
Young people must never get involved in this mess.
He was already starting to regret giving that lecture more than a month ago.
If it weren't for his greed, the boy wouldn't have had to face these potential dangers.
He thought that at the very least, he could make Qi Jin hesitate to act, but now it seems he was completely wrong.
This time, he didn't know if he could protect Gu Yao, so he chose to push the boy out.
Gu Yao stretched out his hand, feeling a little sore, but still didn't receive Qi Xuan's hug.
The person in front of me, I don't know what they're thinking.
Are you worried about something?
But this time, he won't easily distrust you again.
Gu Yao stepped forward and hugged Qi Xuan tightly, burying his head in Qi Xuan's neck as usual, and nuzzling him, expressing his deep affection.
"I'm sleepy, shall we go to sleep? Let's stop staring at each other like this."
Before Qi Xuan could figure out how to refuse Gu Yao, the other party hugged her first.
Qi Xuan was completely stunned.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Qi Xuan could clearly feel the boy's strong heartbeat through the two thin layers of clothing.
With each beat, his heart pounded in rhythm with the rhythm.
Make adjustments little by little until they are synchronized.
The boy seemed genuinely exhausted, his voice weak and listless. "We can talk about it tomorrow. Let's go back and rest, okay?"
The boy's breath brushed against his neck, sending a tingling, itchy sensation through him.
Hearing the boy's seemingly coquettish words, Qi Xuan couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.
Wearing white pajamas, Gu Yao, carrying light, looked like an angel descended to earth.
To save him, who is trapped in prison.
Qi Xuan felt that he had truly lost.
After finally steeling himself and saying a few harsh words, Gu Yao pretended not to hear them.
It will be what it is.
They claimed to be in a sugar daddy/mistress relationship.
Where can you find a lover like this now?
They've all started ordering around their sugar daddies.
Qi Xuan was helpless.
The hand that had been resting on either side of his thigh hesitated for a moment, but then reached out and scooped up the boy's knees, and walked honestly toward the room.
The moment Gu Yao was picked up by Qi Xuan, his hands naturally hooked around Qi Xuan's neck, and a triumphant smile appeared on his seemingly harmless face in the shadows.
This still isn't enough to win you over.
Qi Xuan put Gu Yao back in his room and let go of him, wanting the boy to go to bed, but the boy had no intention of letting him go.
Gu Yao took the opportunity to wrap her legs around Qi Xuan's body, and tightened her grip on his neck, pressing her entire body downwards.
Qi Xuan, who had just put the boy back on the bed, was already leaning towards the bed when Gu Yao pulled him down onto the boy.
Luckily, he reacted quickly and used his elbow to brace himself, otherwise he would have fallen on top of Gu Yao.
He looked at the person beneath him, a boy who had just been sleepy, now grinning mischievously, his eyes gleaming with the light of a successful prank.
Under the lamplight, the boy's face was flushed, and his eyes shone brightly as he looked at the young man.
He met the young man's astonished gaze and smiled happily.
The hand hooking around Qi Xuan's neck pressed down a little further, drawing Qi Xuan's head even closer. Knowing full well that Qi Xuan's ears were a bit sensitive, she deliberately whispered in his ear, "Brother Xuan, don't you want to exercise your rights as a sugar daddy?"
