Chapter 134 The Scorching Sun (33 pages)
Gu Yao put his hands down and washed them clean.
He turned to look at Qi Xuan... the clay blank in his hand.
That standard shape is what a piece of clay should be.
This is the rightful place for clay. Now look at yours, what is that?
Let's not mess with other people's mud.
It's a bit pitiful that he stretched it into this shape.
People from other cultures are like Nuwa creating humans, each one more exquisite than the last; his is uglier than a splatter of mud that someone casually flicks out.
He couldn't control art that was too avant-garde.
Qi Xuan felt the burning gaze of the boy beside him and felt a little smug.
His hand movements, however, remained remarkably steady.
We can't afford to let all our efforts go to waste.
I finally managed to show off in front of A Yao, I can't let it turn into a tragedy.
He straightened the shape of the vase before stopping the spinning wheel.
Gu Yao looked at the vase-shaped clay with surprise in his eyes, and his gaze towards Qi Xuan revealed admiration.
"Brother, you're amazing! Is there anything you can't do?"
The boy's eyes were bright, and his gaze toward the young man was full of admiration.
Qi Xuan felt a little uncomfortable under the boy's focused and intense gaze, so he lowered his head shyly and touched his nose.
But he forgot that he still had mud on his hands, and clay smeared on the tip of his nose, making him look a little comical.
The young man then realized that he had no choice but to put his hand down, which was resting awkwardly on the edge of his trousers.
"No, that's all. Ah Yao is so smart, with more practice, he'll definitely be able to do it too."
Gu Yao's smile froze, unable to tell whether Qi Xuan was mocking or praising him.
His gaze towards Qi Xuan held a hint of resentment. "Are you insulting me?"
Qi Xuan looked at the boy's depressed expression, then at the unidentified object on his table, its fate unknown, and was speechless.
After racking my brains for a long time, I still couldn't think of a suitable word to describe this thing.
Looking at the somewhat playful boy in front of her, her eyes seemed to hold anticipation.
Qi Xuan could only force a compliment, "A Yao's work is very artistic."
The translation is in plain language and is not something that ordinary people can understand.
To put it simply, there are really no words to praise it; it has absolutely no merits.
Seeing the young man's strong will to survive, Gu Yao's smile widened even further.
Qi Xuan looked a little nervous, unsure of Gu Yao's thoughts.
Gu Yao took a step towards him first, his tone tinged with helplessness, and reached out to wipe the mud off Qi Xuan's nose.
“Brother Xuan, I know I didn’t do well, you don’t have to be so accommodating to me.”
The boy's fingertips were still damp from washing his hands, and Qi Xuan felt inexplicably nervous the moment his cool fingertips touched his nose.
Looking at the boy in front of him carefully wiping the mud off his face, Qi Xuan's heart softened terribly.
The rapid beating of his heart in his chest seemed to echo clearly in his ears, each beat a testament to his attraction to the young man.
Their gaze fell on the boy's face: his amber eyes, his high nose, his rounded earlobes, and his lips that looked so inviting to kiss.
Every place suited his taste.
But Gu Yao, and only because he is Gu Yao.
Gu Yao, under the gaze that seemed to want to strip him naked, had a teasing look in his eyes.
He moved closer to the young man, deliberately whispering in Qi Xuan's ear, "Are you looking at me like that because you regret not doing something last night?"
The boy's provocative and teasing words rang in Qi Xuan's ears, making him stiffen.
Seeing that the boy was trying to push him away, and wanted to grab this little rascal who had been flirting and running away, she remembered the clay in her hand.
The boy was clean from head to toe.
The dirt on his hands will get him dirty...
Hesitating for just a moment, Gu Yao had already stepped back.
Before Qi Xuan could react, the boy in the young couple let out a loud "Aww!"
Gu Yao's gaze was also drawn to the boy's profile as he watched the spectacle with great interest.
Qi Xuan sighed helplessly.
Why did you pinch me?
The boy looked at the girl with some grievance, and the girl also realized that she had overreacted, especially when Gu Yao also turned to look at the two of them, she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.
They should just carry the train and run away overnight.
Let her go live on another planet; this world can no longer accommodate her.
The girl tugged at the boy's sleeve, wishing she could bury herself entirely in his arms.
The boy noticed that the girl was a little embarrassed and felt that everyone around them was watching them, so he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I've disturbed everyone."
Seeing that nothing was wrong, everyone turned their attention away and went back to their own business.
Only after Gu Yao withdrew his gaze did the girl peek out from the boy's side and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, it didn't get in front of the main character."
The boy saw the girl peek at Gu Yao again and pulled her back.
"You should explain to me now why you pinched me just now, right?"
The girl, with fate gripped by the back of her neck, heard the dangerous tone, looked up at the boy, and without fear, slapped his hand away.
The girl had a secret excitement on her face. She beckoned to the boy and made him lower his head.
Seeing that the girl looked like she wanted to share a secret with him, the boy lowered his head.
"Did you know that they just kissed?!"
The girl's voice was filled with obvious excitement, but she suppressed it tightly.
The boy, who thought he was about to overhear some secret: "..."
They're just a young couple, kissing is fine, it's not illegal, why are you getting so worked up?
The boy watched as the girl excitedly took out her phone to share the story with her best friend.
His intuition told him.
Even if that's what you think, don't dampen your enthusiasm.
Looking at the little bit of unfinished clay left on the table, and then at the person who was already chatting away with her best friend.
The boy sighed softly and resignedly continued with his work.
I had promised to make him a birthday present by hand, but now he has to do it.
When the time was almost up, the pottery studio staff came to collect the clay bricks.
They also need to be dried before they can be fired in the kiln.
Gu Yao and Qi Xuan walked along the riverside avenue, the bright sunshine overhead carrying a hint of restlessness.
A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Despite the heat, Gu Yao felt a long-lost sense of peace.
Walking under the shade of the tree, the sunlight was broken up by the leaves and fell on the ground in dappled patterns.
Gu Yao pulled Qi Xuan to sit on a bench. He turned to look at Qi Xuan and said, "Brother, how long has it been since we took a walk like this?"
Qi Xuan thought the boy was complaining that he hadn't spent time with him in the past month, so he reached out and stroked the boy's sideburns. "Then I'll spend more time with A Yao in the future."
The boy smiled but didn't say anything, seeing that Qi Xuan had misunderstood.
She simply raised her hand, grabbed the young man's hand, pressed her face against it, and gently rubbed it.
The young man looked at the unbelievably obedient boy in front of him, his throat tightening so much that he couldn't speak.
Gu Yao seemed to act on a whim; after only a moment, he let go of the young man's hand and stood up.
The boy stood in the dappled sunlight, turned his head and smiled brightly at Qi Xuan.
"Brother Xuan, let's go."
Before Qi Xuan could get up, a black car slowly pulled up in front of them.
Qi Xuan kept his eyes fixed on the boy, but when the car stopped in front of them, the boy's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Butler Zhou's voice followed, "Young Master, the Master requests that you have a chat with this Young Master Gu."
