Gu Yiâan was enjoying every moment of the kiss, smiling like a kid who got exactly what he wanted.
His sudden actions seemed to have triggered a deep-seated desire in Guan Zijue as he turned the tables and pinned Gu Yiâan underneath him instead.
The kiss was yet to be broken.
Guan Zijue returned his kiss with fiery passion, and the temperature seemed to rise in the car.
Both of them sat up and stared at each other after they were done with the kiss, their eyes shining as they tried to catch their breaths.
Gu Yiâan seemed to want to say something, but a knock on the window interrupted him.
Guan Zijue rolled down the window to answer the knock, his face still slightly flushed from what happened earlier.
Gu Yiâan felt a little unhappy that a stranger was able to witness how Guan Zijue looked at that moment.
âWhat?â
The stranger outside was genuinely surprised at the blunt tone.
He said, âYouâre blocking my vehicle...â
Gu Yiâan glanced at the rear view mirror and realized they were in fact in the way.
âFine!â
He quickly started the engine and sped off right away, leaving the stranger shocked at the apparent rudeness.
Did he need to get so angry? I was just about to ask him to move his car a little!
Recalling how the other man in the car looked, the stranger then realized they might have been in the middle of something and he just might have interrupted them.
He shook his head at the thought before returning to his own car.
Gu Yiâan floored the accelerator on the way back, feeling rather frustrated that he was interrupted twice in a row.
Seeing him annoyed, Guan Zijueâs lips turned up at the corners.
Heâs acting like a child.
Gu Yiâan was upset that his plans for the night had been foiled. He initially wanted to take Guan Zijue to the movies and tease him before suggesting that they go for supper.
The scenario in his mind was that they would go for a walk after a romantic supper, and because Guan Zijueâs injury had not yet fully healed, he would suggest for him to go rest in the car.
At this point, he would pounce on Guan Zijue and assault him with a french kiss. That would have been the perfect night for Gu Yiâan, but who knew that his plan would fail so spectacularly?
He was so upset that he was no longer in the mood for supper.
Gu Yiâan alighted quickly when they arrived back at the apartment and walked to the elevator without much ado.
Guan Zijue shook his head at this and followed behind him. Heâs throwing such a tantrum.
Gu Yiâan seemed to be waiting for Guan Zijue to question him about his actions earlier, but to his surprise, Guan Zijue did not say a word.
Why isnât he talking about it at all!
When they were back at home, he glared at Guan Zijue before venting his anger on a sofa cushion and going back to his room.
Guan Zijue scratched his head. Did I do anything wrong again?
It seems like heâs the only one whoâs angry.
Heâs just an overgrown child.
But it seems like Iâm the only one whoâs able to see this side of him. Guan Zijue smiled at the thought.
Night fell, but no one had spoken.
Guan Zijue was simply lying in bed with his eyes open while Gu Yiâan stared at the night sky.
Gu Yiâan realized that neither of them had gotten a good rest last night when he saw those dark circles under Guan Zijueâs eyes the next morning.
This made Gu Yiâan feel instantly sorry about everything that happened. Was I too impulsive?
âUm⦠I didnât do that on purpose last night. Donât mind it!â
âYou didnât do it on purpose? Gu Yiâan⦠tell me then, what were you thinking?â
Gu Yiâan did not know how to answer the question. He was afraid that Guan Zijue couldnât understand how he actually felt, especially when it seemed he had indeed been too impulsive the night before.
He looked Guan Zijue in the eye.
âI mean exactly that. I was too impulsive last night. You can hit me to vent your anger if you feel uncomfortable about it!â
He stared at Guan Zijue as if he was waiting to be hit, but this instantly frustrated Guan Zijue.
What? Heâs just going to cover it up and say that he didnât do it on purpose? Heâs even asking me to vent my anger on him?
This guy is immoral. I canât believe I wasted all that time searching for him in the past.
Guan Zijue glared at Gu Yiâan in his anger.
Gu Yiâan retreated as Guan Zijue walked up to him, thinking that Guan Zijue was really about to hit him.
He hit the edge of the dining table and couldnât retreat any further.
Whatâs with that face? Is he really going to hit me? I was just kidding!
Big Brother has never hit me. He has always been protecting me. No one else protects me like he does.
Is he really going to hit me now?
Gu Yiâan looked up, planning to argue his way out of this, but Guan Zijue shocked him by kissing him on the lips.
He stared at Guan Zijue in genuine surprise as Guan Zijue continued the assault on his lips.
In the next moment, Gu Yiâan smiled and shut his eyes, accepting the kiss.
Guan Zijue then pushed Gu Yiâan onto the dining table...
They were engaged in a passionate kiss and got more and more intimate.
âBig Brother, shall we go to the room...â
âWhy?â
Gosh, itâs the dining table!
âBig Brother, weâre supposed to eat here!â
âEating you is more fun!â
âDonât! Big Brother, Iâll get reminded of this every time I eat here!â
âIf we go to the room, youâll think about this every time you go to sleep. Itâs fine here. Or, how about the countertop!â
What followed was nothing but the sound of heavy breaths and the occasional grunt as they engaged in passionate love.
â¦â¦
They went everywhere together for the next few days.
They held hands when they took walks and were literally inseparable.
As the days passed, every corner in Guan Zijueâs apartment seemed to remind Gu Yiâan of their intense desire for each other.
Gu Yiâan knew that Guan Zijue had to return to work soon, but he could not bear to let him go.
Guan Zijue felt the same. To him, Gu Yiâan was a precious treasure. He couldnât help but wonder how often they would be able to meet after he returned to the military.
The doorbell rang when they were messing about on the sofa one day.
It was still day time but the playful Gu Yiâan decided to mess around with Guan Zijue and tease him all of a sudden.
After quickly adjusting their outfits, Gu Yiâan got up to answer the door.
It was Guan Zijueâs parents at the door, Guan Mingchang and Xia Xinsheng.
They seemed to have noticed something amiss the moment they stepped into the house, as if there was something different in the air.
However, none of them commented on it out of respect for their sonâs space.
Guan Zijue was holding a book on the sofa when he saw his parents walk in.
Standing up right away, he asked, âDad, Mum, why are you here?â
Gu Yiâan went to get two glasses of water for Guan Mingchang and Xia Xinsheng as they sat on the sofa.
Guan Mingchang said, âHowâs your injury? Youâre returning to work soon so I thought Iâd come over and check up on you. I hope it doesnât leave any lingering side effects. You know I have high hopes for you!â
Guan Zijue nodded and said, âI know, Dad. I wonât disappoint you!â
âGood. Since youâre perfectly fine, Iâll be leaving now!â
âDad, stay for dinner with Mum since youâre already here!â
Guan Mingchang shook his head. âI donât want to disturb you. My secretary is waiting for me downstairs and I have a meeting to attend anyway. Take good care of yourself!â
Guan Zijue nodded and got up, planning to walk his parents out.
However, Guan Mingchang gave him a disapproving look. âItâs fine. Youâre not fully recovered yet.â
