AMTBYIGA Chapter 46
by VolareGu Nian struggled to get out of the wheelchair and sat next to Lin Sui on the rock, using his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
“Ouch.” Lin Sui suddenly exclaimed, grabbing Gu Nian’s hand, squeezing it, and frowning, “Why are your hands so cold again?”
Gu Nian nonchalantly switched hands and continued to wipe Lin Sui’s sweat, saying lightly, “It’s nothing.”
“How can it be nothing?” Lin Sui huffed unhappily, took off his backpack, rummaged through it for a while, and took out a black and white blanket, throwing it over Gu Nian without explanation.
Gu Nian was slightly stunned, asking in a hoarse voice, “When did you take this?”
Lin Sui proudly raised his chin. “When we went out. It’s still a bit cold here in the morning. Your health isn’t good, so you need to keep warm.” After speaking, he carefully tucked it in, making sure it wouldn’t be blown by the wind.
Gu Nian was speechless. He looked at Lin Sui’s eyes, which still shone in the darkness, and felt a softness in his heart. He suddenly raised his arm and opened the blanket that Lin Sui had arranged for him.
Lin Sui’s eyes widened. Before he could say anything, his body fell into a warm embrace.
Lin Sui:!
Lin Sui was hugged in a daze.
Gu Nian hugged the youth, who was a head shorter than him, completely in his arms, wrapped the two of them together in the blanket, and said casually next to Lin Sui’s ear, “It’s cold, let’s share.”
“Ah,” Lin Sui responded foolishly, his whole body quickly warming up. Gu Nian lowered his head and could even see the redness on the back of his neck. A light touch of his finger caused it to slightly heat up.
Lin Sui’s stiff back straightened, and he stammered in a low voice, “Actually, actually, I don’t need it, I’m not cold…”
Although he said that, Lin Sui sat steadily, with no intention of getting up at all.
He even secretly gathered the blanket with his fingers, then inconspicuously leaned closer to Gu Nian.
Gu Nian pretended not to see these little actions. With a single motion of his large hand, the blanket completely enclosed them, leaving only their heads exposed.
Body heat transferred between them through the almost invisible gaps, carrying each other’s scents. Lin Sui blinked his eyes, feeling at ease as he leaned entirely on Gu Nian.
It wasn’t like he deliberately wanted to get close!
This was just to keep warm. After all, Gu Nian’s health wasn’t good, and he didn’t mind being his human hot water bottle.
Lin Sui found an excuse for himself and completely dispelled his worries, happily nestled in the arms of his beloved, secretly smelling the scent on Gu Nian.
Like the impression Gu Nian gave, the scent on his body also carried a kind of sharp feeling, yet it was sharp but not cold, with a hint of very faint warmth. Lin Sui couldn’t help but rub back a little, wanting to smell it more clearly.
Gu Nian felt itchy from the rubbing, so he had to put one arm around Lin Sui’s waist, and the other rested lazily on his knee, his chin barely touching Lin Sui’s shoulder, breathing softly, his voice very faint, “Don’t move.”
These three words successfully made Lin Sui behave himself.
But not because of the faint commanding tone in those three words, but because—Gu Nian’s breath was on his ear!
Lin Sui felt a sudden burst of heat from his ear to his entire body. The originally warm blanket space became unbearable. He secretly wanted to move forward a little, but was stopped by Gu Nian’s hand, unable to move.
It seemed even hotter… Lin Sui hesitated whether to pull the blanket open a little. Just as he was about to say something to Gu Nian, a corner of orange-gold light suddenly appeared on the horizon, dazzling and captivating.
Lin Sui immediately forgot what he was going to say, only staring blankly at the place where the sea and sky connected.
The sunlight became more and more brilliant. The red, newly born sun slowly crawled out of the sea, the unique sunlight of this moment selflessly showered on the people who had specially come to see it, outlining a shocking silhouette. Lin Sui watched without blinking, gently exhaling a sigh.
He thought, so this is what a sunrise can be like.
So the real sunrise is even more beautiful than what you see in the videos.
Yes, this wasn’t the first time Lin Sui had seen the sunrise.
Or rather, in a distant other world.
In that terrifyingly quiet white ward.
In countless nights tossing and turning, tormented by pain.
From the age of five to twenty-five.
For twenty whole years, Lin Sui had countless times watched through the hospital window as that round red sun appeared little by little on the horizon, then climbed over the tall buildings, the sunlight shining on his pale and weak body on the hospital bed, but bringing no warmth.
Sunrise often represents hope and vitality. Lin Sui once, like countless ordinary people, had special feelings for the sunrise.
Only later, Lin Sui gradually understood that these never belonged to him.
Neither the sunrise, nor a new day.
So for a long time, Lin Sui didn’t like the sunrise. He would deliberately draw the curtains of the ward tightly until the sky was bright before opening them. Later, he couldn’t remember when it started, but Lin Sui suddenly became obsessed with watching the sunrise.
There was only a vague shadow in his memory, perhaps a doctor or a nurse. Lin Sui had long forgotten, only the obsession grew stronger day by day.
He tried his best to understand the world that didn’t belong to him through the internet, through other people’s accounts, but he always felt like something was missing. Until today, that obsession that only existed in his heart was finally realized. Lin Sui revealed a smile, but his vision blurred.
So that person didn’t lie to him. The sunrise really was beautiful, really happy.
“Why are you crying?”
A helpless voice came from his ear. Lin Sui touched his face, his fingertips wet, and realized that he was crying.
A warm, large hand gently brushed over his eyes, wiping away his tears. Gu Nian held Lin Sui tightly in his arms, silently offering comfort.
So Lin Sui smiled.
The orange-gold sunlight shone on his face, warm and dazzling, but compared to the light in his eyes, it seemed a little dim.
Gu Nian looked at him, his heart beating faster and faster.
Lin Sui stabilized his emotions and looked at the sun, which was already three-quarters out, and suddenly thought of something, closing his eyes anxiously.
The eyes that were brighter than the sun were closed. Gu Nian felt a faint regret in his heart. When Lin Sui reopened his eyes, he couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”
“Making a wish.” Lin Sui clasped his hands together and answered solemnly, continuing to mutter to the sun.
Gu Nian chuckled, “You can make a wish at sunrise?”
“Of course you can.” Lin Sui recited a string of gods, then started reciting the ancestors, taking the time to answer seriously, “This is called increasing the probability. As long as I make more wishes, it will definitely come true.”
Gu Nian was amused by his serious look, patiently waiting for Lin Sui to ask all the gods and Buddhas, before asking, “What did you wish for?”
Lin Sui shook his head, “I can’t say. It won’t come true if I say it.”
After a pause, his expression became even more serious, “This wish must, must come true, so there can’t be even the slightest accident.” He extended his index finger and thumb, slowly closing them, leaving only a gap that barely let light through.
Gu Nian was really curious about what wish Lin Sui had made that he valued so much. After thinking about it, he also closed his eyes, opened them after ten seconds, and nodded earnestly, “I’ve made my wish too.”
Lin Sui blinked his eyes, said “Oh”, and turned to continue watching the sun.
Gu Nian curled the corners of his lips, waiting comfortably for the little rabbit to come to him.
Lin Sui tried to seriously appreciate the sunrise, but the magnificent scenery seemed to have lost its appeal. As he watched, his thoughts drifted to the person behind him.
What did Gu Nian wish for?
He should be hoping that his legs can recover, Lin Sui thought secretly, squirming a little, and then secretly added a sentence to himself—perhaps he will be a part of that wish.
So did Gu Nian think of him, and what did he hope he would do? He shouldn’t be wishing he could get rid of him soon, Lin Sui thought with some sadness, then thought that perhaps Gu Nian would also hope that they could always be together and be happy, his heart feeling as if it were being roasted on fire, anxious beyond belief.
Finally, he couldn’t bear it any longer, and said seemingly unintentionally, “The sun had already come out when you made your wish just now, so it might not work.”
Gu Nian suppressed a smile, his expression pretending to be regretful, “What should I do then?”
Lin Sui’s heart jumped with joy, he coughed lightly, turned his head and said righteously, “Actually, feudal superstition is not advisable. You can also try asking others for help… for example, maybe I can help you.”
Gu Nian looked at Lin Sui’s bright eyes, filled with a little look that said “Come and ask me for help,” almost laughing out loud. Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself in the end. He nodded as if he had listened, but was still a little hesitant, “Wouldn’t it be too much trouble for you?”
“My wish.” After a pause, Gu Nian lowered his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of shyness, “Maybe, it might make things a little difficult for you.”
Lin Sui’s eyes lit up, and then he quickly cleaned up his expression to make himself look less easy to read, constantly telling himself not to assume things, not to guess in the direction he expected, maybe Gu Nian didn’t mean what he thought at all.
But this sentence was really ambiguous, and it wasn’t impossible, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
“Cough.” Lin Sui cleared his throat to make himself look more calm and reliable, and looked at Gu Nian full of innuendo, “How would you know if you don’t say it? Tell me, maybe I can help you make it come true.”
“Is that so?” Gu Nian smiled meaningfully, “Okay then.”
He seemed to have made some kind of decision, his voice deep, “Can you close your eyes for a moment?”
Lin Sui blinked, not quite understanding, but still obediently closed his eyes.
Gu Nian almost simultaneously tore off his gentle disguise, his dark eyes overflowing with desire. He leaned over without hesitation, instantly closing the distance between the two, their breaths mingling.
Lin Sui’s eyelashes fluttered, as if he had noticed something, but he still kept his eyes closed, quietly waiting for what would happen next.
Gu Nian lovingly stroked the youth’s flushed cheeks, feeling the subtle tremors under his palms caused by nervousness. He smiled softly, lowered his head, and kissed the red lips.
Unlike the hasty kiss from the morning that was an accident, this kiss could be called a kiss.
Gu Nian heavily ground against Lin Sui’s lips, with a kind of ferocity that wanted to devour him, heavier with each touch. Lin Sui couldn’t help but tremble, but he didn’t escape, nor did he open his eyes. He obediently clung to Gu Nian’s broad palm, quiet as a pretty doll.
His appearance was really particularly lovable. Gu Nian, who had originally only intended to taste it lightly, suddenly changed his mind. He extended his tongue, gently licking Lin Sui’s lip seam.
The always quiet youth suddenly panicked, his whole body fleeing backwards in a flurry. Lin Sui subconsciously wanted to open his eyes, but a hand covered them as soon as he saw a ray of sunlight. He heard Gu Nian breathing heavily, their lips still touching, the feeling of being licked just now lingering in his mind.
“Sui Sui.”
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in his ear.
Lin Sui raised his head blankly, subconsciously responding.
“Mm.”
