PPS Chapter 106
by VolareChapter 106: The Wooden Man Opens Up
After returning home, Gu Yusen locked himself in the kitchen and didn’t come out.
As for why the kitchen? It’s a two-bedroom apartment. Chu Zhaoyi needed to rest in the bedroom, and the study had been converted into a small painting studio.
He, the dignified Young Master Gu, could only calm down in the kitchen.
If word got out, people would laugh their heads off.
Chu Zhaoyi just craved a cigarette and couldn’t control himself. By the time he realized it, he had already made that outrageous move.
He probably knew that his actions were a bit out of line.
A rare emotion akin to shyness arose within him.
Gu Yusen’s earlobes, on the other hand, were as red as if they were bleeding. He grabbed Chu Zhaoyi and threw him into the car.
The atmosphere between the two was exceptionally awkward, and neither of them spoke.
Chu Zhaoyi’s heart fluttered for a moment, but he recovered after a short while. Looking at Gu Yusen’s unusual state, he found it a little amusing.
After returning home, he pulled out a box of cookies from his bag, but before he could say anything, Gu Yusen locked himself in the kitchen.
Chu Zhaoyi frowned.
Did Brother Sanmu hate him now?
He had never coaxed anyone before. Could it be that his behavior just now was too much?
Wasn’t he even allowed to lick his lips?
Stingy.
Chu Zhaoyi had never encountered such a thing. He took out his phone, thought for a moment, and opened Zhang Haoyu’s chat window.
[Chu Zhaoyi]: What do I do if Brother Sanmu is angry?
Zhang Haoyu was quite surprised to see this message. Gu Yusen’s attitude towards Chu Zhaoyi was truly one of pampering and adoration. Would he actually get angry at Chu Zhaoyi?
[Zhang Haoyu]: What did you do to provoke Brother Gu?
Chu Zhaoyi thought for a moment, could he talk about this?
Probably.
Gu Yusen wasn’t a girl. His behavior wasn’t offensive, right?
Guys who have good relationships are also very close.
[Chu Zhaoyi]: I licked his mouth.
[Chu Zhaoyi]: Brother Sanmu is so stingy.
Zhang Haoyu stared at these words, thinking he was seeing things.
Was this right? Kid! Was this right?
Zhang Haoyu stared at this message for half an hour, wondering if he had always misunderstood the relationship between the two. It wasn’t just a simple brotherly relationship?
Were they dating?
Zhang Haoyu tried to recall the details. Indeed, brothers didn’t have such a good relationship. The way Gu Yusen treasured Chu Zhaoyi was like he was treasuring some kind of treasure.
And Chu Zhaoyi?
He didn’t have good relationships with anyone else, he was particularly cold, and wouldn’t say an extra word if he could avoid it. But only when facing Gu Yusen did he change, becoming “Chu Jiaojiao” (Only means spoiled, delicate).
At that time, he thought Gu Yusen was making fun of Chu Zhaoyi with this nickname.
Turns out it was flirting.
An affectionate nickname.
Zhang Haoyu thought for a long time and went to his BL-loving (Fuji girl） female friend to ask for some novels. The characters inside perfectly fit the personas of Gu Yusen and Chu Zhaoyi.
Novels originated from reality.
Reasonable.
Zhang Haoyu took a few glances, but as a straight man, he couldn’t quite accept it. He immediately forwarded it to Chu Zhaoyi.
[Zhang Haoyu]: You should study some experiences?
With a studious attitude, Chu Zhaoyi studied in the small painting studio.
In the kitchen, Gu Yusen smoked one cigarette after another. The unease in his heart didn’t subside at all. In fact, the thought of the “Chu Jiaojiao” outside made his heart beat even faster.
He wasn’t a young man who hadn’t experienced love.
Naturally, he could understand his current feelings.
Thinking back to how he could push away Chu Zhaoyi’s eagerly approaching face without changing his expression not long ago, now, he was completely invested.
Chu Jiaojiao was truly captivating.
Gu Yusen smoked a pack of cigarettes in the kitchen and crushed the last cigarette butt, letting out a heavy sigh.
The wooden man was finally planning to face his feelings.
Chu Zhaoyi frowned as he read through the books, one after another. They weren’t very long, so he read them quickly. But the problem was that Chu Zhaoyi was completely clueless about matters of the heart and found it difficult to understand the feelings between the two protagonists.
But when he applied it to himself and Gu Yusen, it seemed to fit perfectly.
He liked Brother Sanmu.
He definitely liked Brother Sanmu, and he also liked Zhang Haoyu and Professor Qin, but he liked Brother Sanmu even more.
He would be unhappy if Brother Sanmu had someone else by his side.
Yes, he didn’t like the way Zhang Xuan and Mu Xi looked at Brother Sanmu, as if they were looking at their own possession. Brother Sanmu was clearly his.
He liked physical contact.
He liked holding hands, and he wanted to hug while sleeping.
He would be happy when he saw him.
Yes, he would be very happy when he saw Brother Sanmu. Although he always liked to tease him and sometimes he would be a little angry, how could A-Yi (Ayi) really hate Brother Sanmu?
After Chu Zhaoyi confirmed that the relationship between the two characters completely matched them, he directly flipped to the sections where the two protagonists coaxed each other.
He wanted to learn.
What Chu Zhaoyi and Zhang Haoyu didn’t expect was that the novel they found was particularly popular.
Gu Yusen, in order to learn from experience, also saw the same book.
It’s just that Gu Yusen and Chu Zhaoyi had different purposes. Gu Yusen, of course, knew that his feelings had already evolved into the love between lovers.
He didn’t really care about his closeness to Chu Zhaoyi before. The biggest problem was that he knew Chu Zhaoyi didn’t understand these things, and subconsciously placed Chu Zhaoyi’s affection in the position of a friend or family member.
Even though sometimes Chu Zhaoyi’s actions were indeed easy to misunderstand.
But Gu Yusen still regarded this person as a child from the bottom of his heart, and regarded Chu Zhaoyi’s closeness as a young animal’s imprinting behavior.
But today.
He truly realized.
Chu Zhaoyi wasn’t his younger brother, but a teenager who was only one year younger than him.
After reading this book, Gu Yusen linked all the actions and movements of Chu Zhaoyi.
Finally got an accurate information.
Chu Zhaoyi really liked him.
There was nothing happier than realizing that the person you like also likes you.
After realizing this, Gu Yusen felt as if a warm current surged rapidly in his chest, instantly spreading throughout his body. It was an uncontrollable joy, like a long-awaited rain after a long drought.
Before meeting Chu Zhaoyi, he couldn’t imagine what it would be like to like someone. He couldn’t imagine that one day he would care about another person in every detail, and even put aside his hobbies for him.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.
Gu Yusen crushed the last cigarette, the kitchen window was wide open to dispel the smell, the cold wind was blowing on his face but couldn’t blow away the heat on his face.
The place on his lips where Chu Zhaoyi touched was faintly hot.
He wanted to see him, to see A-Yi, to hug him in his arms.
So, he almost jogged across the living room towards the bedroom, every step filled with strength and eagerness. His hand gripped the doorknob tightly, as if he would break it off.
The tension in his heart couldn’t be concealed.
Gu Yusen took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
But there was no one inside.
Gu Yusen was stunned, and the eagerness that had just surged in his heart was barely suppressed a little.
Chu Zhaoyi should be painting in the small painting studio.
Forget it.
He should take a shower first to get rid of the smell.
The first thing Gu Yusen did after recognizing his inner feelings was to take a shower.
He was really about to become a smoked log.
*
Gu Yusen took a shower and completely calmed down.
He couldn’t be too hasty. Chu Jiaojiao had been chasing him for so long. Next, he had to plan carefully.
Chu Zhaoyi also understood.
He felt that some of the ways to coax people inside were very strange.
He even felt a little embarrassed.
Did he have to take off his clothes?
Chu Zhaoyi struggled for a long time and finally chose a method that seemed more acceptable, although he didn’t know why the other person would be happy because of this.
Chu Zhaoyi was so worried that he lost several strands of hair.
Alas, Brother Sanmu was so difficult to coax.
Unlike him, just one rose would do.
Chu Zhaoyi cheered up. He would never do this kind of behavior again in the future! Brother Sanmu was so difficult to coax when he was angry!
Sure enough, cigarettes were not a good thing.
He was tempted to make a mistake.
Chu Zhaoyi made up his mind to walk out of the painting studio, opened the bedroom door, and heard the sound of water inside, knowing that Gu Yusen was taking a shower.
It was convenient for him to act.
The first thing he wanted to do was to steal one of Gu Yusen’s shirts.
But this plan encountered obstacles from the very beginning.
After raising Chu Zhaoyi, most of the clothes in Gu Yusen’s closet were prepared for Chu Zhaoyi. The game of “Miraculous Shining” (Strange and shining) was not played casually.
The remaining few of his own were mostly hoodies and other casual clothes.
Chu Zhaoyi thought of the word “seduction” mentioned in the novel and imagined himself standing in front of Gu Yusen wearing a hoodie.
Very dull.
Like an idiot.
Chu Zhaoyi was a little worried and tugged at his hair.
The late emperor died before his mission was accomplished.
He turned his brain, oh, heavens never seal off all exits. Today, Gu Yusen went to participate in an event, and he wore a shirt.
He went to look at the coat rack at the entrance, and there was only one coat.
Where was the shirt?
The fact was that Gu Yusen’s brain didn’t turn today, and he took a shower in a hurry. He didn’t even take the bathrobe and plunged into the bathroom. He was wearing the shirt that Chu Jiaojiao was looking for.
“Brother Sanmu,” Chu Zhaoyi hesitated between going directly into the bathroom and knocking on the door. If it were normal, he might have gone straight in.
In his concept, they were both boys, so there was no big problem.
But today, his behavior had angered Brother Sanmu.
Chu Zhaoyi planned to be honest and knock on the door obediently.
Gu Yusen, who was in the bathroom, tensed up when he heard the sound. His brain, which had just calmed down and become a little clearer, was instantly filled with heat.
His face was very hot.
Gu Yusen cursed himself for being useless, barely stabilized his tone and opened his mouth, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Zhaoyi felt that Gu Yusen’s voice was a little strange, hoarse. He thought that Gu Yusen was super angry, so angry that he didn’t want to talk to him, but he still had to endure and pay attention to him.
Chu Zhaoyi was a little sad.
“Brother Sanmu, I want to wash clothes. Do you want to wash your clothes?” But he still cheered up and said the prepared words.
Naturally, most of the housework was done by Gu Yusen, but Chu Zhaoyi would occasionally wash clothes, that is, throw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and then forget to take them out to dry, or accidentally wash the colors together.
Gu Yusen didn’t doubt him.
He glanced around and found that he hadn’t taken a bathrobe, only a shirt and pants that he had just taken off were placed on the side.
“Okay, I forgot to take the bathrobe. You can just hand one in.”
Chu Zhaoyi went to the closet to find a bathrobe and held it in his hand, wanting to push the bathroom door open and go in directly.
But as soon as he opened it a little, it was blocked from the inside.
He could vaguely hear strange clanging sounds inside.
Gu Yusen almost rushed to the door when he found that the door was about to be pushed open, and almost tripped over the stool on the ground in a hurry!
Damn it.
It was not uncommon for him to be naked in front of Chu Zhaoyi before. It was inevitable that this kind of thing would happen when two people lived together.
He didn’t care at that time.
It didn’t mean he didn’t care now!!!
Who could do such a thing as walking around naked in front of someone they liked?
Anyway, he, Gu Yusen, couldn’t do it.
Chu Zhaoyi felt the resistance inside and pouted. Gu Yusen had also forgotten to take things before, and he had also forgotten to take things when he was taking a bath. He could enter casually!
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and a sense of panic faintly spread in his heart.
Don’t look at him getting angry when he was usually angry, but as soon as he realized that Gu Yusen might abandon him, he would immediately become very well-behaved.
Chu Zhaoyi didn’t use any more force, but obediently handed the bathrobe in through the separated door seam, and took the shirt and pants that Gu Yusen handed out.
Gu Yusen naturally didn’t notice Chu Zhaoyi’s thoughts. In his mind, the two of them were already in a relationship of mutual affection and were about to step into the hall of marriage.
Where were these things?
He was happy.
He still told him not to worry, “You can put it away for a while, I’ll wash it later. If you want to wash it, remember to separate the pants and shirt and throw them in.”
Chu Zhaoyi responded in a muffled voice.
Gu Yusen washed himself clean, and when he was sure that there was not a trace of cigarette smell on his body, he just opened the bathroom door and thought of a problem.
His clothes were full of cigarette smell.
Gu Yusen had this idea in his head. When he looked up, he saw Chu Zhaoyi standing by the bed.
Gu Yusen couldn’t lift his feet.
The shirt that Chu Zhaoyi was wearing was the one that smelled of smoke. The shirt was particularly loose on the teenager’s body. The lower half of his body was empty and he didn’t wear anything. The shirt just reached a little above the knee.
Without a doubt, as long as Chu Zhaoyi leaned over, half of his butt would be exposed.
But these were not the point.
Gu Yusen’s mind was full of the fact that his shirt was full of cigarette smell. When he saw this scene, the idea in his mind was: This clothes must be stinky, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Chu Zhaoyi saw that Gu Yusen didn’t react at all, and even the expression on his face was a little strange.
He tugged at the hem of his clothes unhappily.
Was the novel lying to him?
In the novel, after the protagonist did this, the second protagonist would immediately pick him up when he saw it, and then go to bed to sleep.
Chu Zhaoyi looked down at his white and tender feet, and shook them a little at a loss.
Sure enough, Brother Sanmu hated him.
Gu Yusen was only stunned for five seconds. The next second, he rushed directly to Chu Zhaoyi. His shirt was particularly loose on the teenager’s body. He pulled the clothes off directly from the neckline.
After seeing the empty Little Yi under the shirt, he immediately pulled the quilt from the bed and wrapped the person into a rice dumpling. He made a perfect knot at the back.
The whole process was smooth and extremely skilled.
“Chu Zhaoyi! What are you doing! My clothes are dirty! The weather is getting cold, don’t wear so little! Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold!”
Gu Yusen also wanted to be gentler to Chu Zhaoyi, but he was not a gentle person by nature. He had been a nanny for too long, and the temples on his face were faintly throbbing when he saw the teenager’s appearance.
The rice dumpling version of Chu Zhaoyi blinked.
Huh?
That’s not how it was written in the novel.
