Chapter 21: Don’t think nonsense

Gu Xiuhan did not move to withdraw his eyes, pupils black as water, calmly said, “Sorry.”

Gu Xiuhan picked through the medicine box, and found a needleless injection that could inject a stream of medicine into the body at ultra-high speed, which caused relatively little pain.

Ruan Yu, having told a rare lie, was so guilty that he nodded repeatedly while grunting and pretending to rub his face to show that he was really sore just now, and couldn’t stop glancing at Gu Xiuhan from the corner of his eyes.

It was obviously a good check for the throat inflammation, but the bad fish backtracked and disliked the slow look. This happened, and he still continued to indulge in apologizing to him, considering how to change his medicine…

But Ruan Yu lived in human society for so many years, but also knew that human beings were a kind of creature of different appearances, completely able to say one thing and think another.

He just always thought that Gu Xiuhan would not do that.

“… How long have I been asleep?” Ruan Yu broke the silence sarcastically.

The smart blackout glass set to sleep mode would make it difficult to distinguish between night and day, but a glance at the terminal would do, no need to ask.

“…” Gu Xiuhan threw the empty potion into the paper basket, silent for a moment, as if sensing that Ruan Yu was looking for words, but did not poke, “twelve hours.”

Ruan Yu nodded, went down to the bathroom and changed into a set of pajamas with long sleeves and long pants.

He had slept too long because of the drugs, and although he was still dizzy, he couldn’t sleep, so Ruan Yu rolled himself up in a thin blanket, leaving only one pair of round eyes above the edge of the blanket to stare at Gu Xiuhan, fiercely speculating, striving to analyze –

The first time he noticed Gu Xiuhan’s abnormalities was when he was picking out a dress at Lin Hui’s residence, and the last time was a few minutes ago.

Ruan Yu put these anomalies together and recalled them one by one.

–By “anomalies,” he meant outrageous brain waves that did not match Gu Xiuhan’s usual behavior.

For example, with Gu Xiuhan’s cold and clean nature, it would be impossible for him to say things like “more beautiful with a red face”, “so tender”, “like a little kitten”… The intimate words that made his ears instinctively steamy.

He should not have been staring hard at his tongue when he opened his mouth.

There would never be such a sticky, cloudy, white color in the mental body that seemed to symbolize some kind of hunger and gluttony…

But in fact, Ruan Yu caught these EEG signals.

The two facts contradict each other, indicating that there must be some misunderstanding. He couldn’t wrong Gu Xiuhan in his imagination, and he didn’t want to embarrass Gu Xiuhan in person.

Just make sure that Gu Xiuhan actually has no such idea about him.

If there were no ideas, it would mean that it was all a hallucination from the courtship heat.

Ruan Yu thought he was thinking without moving, but in fact his eyelashes were shaking, his eyes were turning left and right, and in just a few minutes he stole a glance at Gu Xiuhan around 800 times.

It was simply written on the face “want to say but stop” four big words.

So, just when Ruan Yu’s brain was boiling over the search for an entry point, Gu Xiuhan’s side suddenly floated two words without warning.

“Ruan Ruan.”

“Say something directly.”

It was a tone of voice that was faintly helpless and conniving.

The plan was completely disrupted, Ruan Yu was stunned, stammered for a moment, obviously already, in his mind, rehearsed 800 paragraphs of natural and smooth dialogue. The result was just a sudden confusing straight ball, “Brother Xiuhan, I have always been a little curious… Just, what kind of spouse do you like?”

Gu Xiuhan restrainedly lifted his jaw, his eyes flat, silent as a stone, as if such a boring question could not stir a ripple in his thoughts, and he did not bother to answer.

But in Ruan Yu’s perception, through the thinner and thinner spiritual barrier, a part of Gu Xiuhan’s spiritual body once again surged with a restless and thick white color.

This topic excited Gu Xiuhan. And this level of excitement was not normal…

Ruan Yu’s palms sweat, squeezing the thin edge of the quilt, racking his brains to excuse Gu Xiuhan – single for too long when it comes to the topic of love will certainly have emotional fluctuations, but Gu Xiuhan hard man baggage was too heavy, unwilling to show a look of anxious to fall in love, so try to control the expression.

At this point, Gu Xiuhan spoke up.

“Didn’t think about it.”

After a pause, it was a sentence of a much heavier degree, clearly intended to chat the day away –

“I’m not interested.”

The tone was cold, like a filament of smoking cold ice rubbing against each other, thwarting the ice particles.

Gu Xiuhan was not a reckless and impetuous teenager, listening to his beloved’s ambiguous question and invoking countless charming delusions, where even the names of future offspring would be taken out in hundres without permission.

He was unsure of the reason for Ruan Yu’s question and had to answer judiciously according to his usual image.

“…”

If this is how not interested looked like, then what kind of excitement would you show if you were interested?

Ruan Yu looked at Gu Xiuhan’s agitated white hot mental body, held back and endured, only to hold back from breaking the stage.

The key was that Gu Xiuhan lied with calmness and ease. This alone was a major deviation from Ruan Yu’s image of an upright and old-fashioned older brother.

The conversation was cruelly killed by Gu Xiuhan, so he had to start another topic.

Ruan Yu mulled it over again, still focusing all the energy of his mental network on Gu Xiuhan.

Gu Xiuhan had been observing Ruan Yu for half a day, he knew that what Ruan Yu really wanted to ask was definitely not what type of spouse he liked, and he could see that Ruan Yu’s head was overloaded to the point that steam was coming out of his ears in order to beat around the bush to achieve a certain goal…

Gu Xiuhan frowned slightly, and was about to emphasize once again that he had something to say, when he heard Ruan Yu stammering in that soft, thin voice, asking something outrageous.

“Do you think I am… beautiful?”

This question sounded clueless at first.

In fact, it was Ruan Yu’s way of confirming whether Gu Xiuhan’s two “really beautiful” and “even more beautiful when blushing” heart sounds were real.

To put it bluntly, he was too biased towards Gu Xiuhan, and even if there was more evidence in front of him, he had to force a wave of sophistry – it was a mishearing, an illusion, and actually someone else nearby thought…

The little mermaid asked when lying on his side, the soft flesh of his face let the pillow core squeeze slightly deformed, pink like pulp of a taut peach.

It was clear that he was so shy that his eyelashes fluttered, but he also held back his shame, weakly, and asked people if he was pretty in a special situation like a courtship fever attack.

Even people who weren’t self-absorbed would feel that this was some kind of hint when they looked at it.

“…”

Gu Xiuhan’s throat sank, and his heart missed a beat. This scene was as unreasonable as a dream.

After the imbalanced heart rhythm returned to normal, Gu Xiuhan suspected that the courtship fever had made Ruan Yu delirious. After all, this was different from a normal fever. To put it bluntly, a courtship fever attack would be like taking a strong aphrodisiac for some physically susceptible mermaids.

When Ruan Yu’s judgment plummeted, he said something flirtatious, what beautiful or not beautiful… It’s against Gu Xiuhan’s moral values.

“What’s the point of asking this?”

Gu Xiuhan calmly blocked the question back.

It was obvious that the intention was to talk the day to death once more, to kill the atmosphere that should not be there.

From the cold, frozen eyebrows to the tall military boots quietly stomping on the floor, there was nothing about his body that didn’t hold itself to the bone.

If it was observed with the eyes alone, anyone else would believe that he was that kind of person.

But…

Another ethereal heart sound had come out of Gu Xiuhan’s spiritual body uncontrollably.

[Of course you’re beautiful.]

A soft tone like a sigh.

It was the same as the two previous heart sounds.

There was also a momentary mental fantasy image…

The image was of Gu Xiuhan holding Ruan Yu’s jaw with one hand, gently sliding his thumb over that pretty and ignorant face, pressing the creamy white cheeks with a pinkish tinge to a shallow depression.

A person who doesn’t know anything about love could perceive the intoxicating meaning of the image of being enchanted to the point of being turned upside down and couldn’t help but reach out to touch.

[What a small face.]

Another sentence.

There was no doubt that it was Gu Xiuhan’s heart sound. 

Ruan Yu was completely dumbfounded, lying motionless as if tied by a rope, his eardrums buzzing.

It’s too strange.

Is this person really Gu Xiuhan?

“Rest well.” The person who started it all has lowered his eyelashes, while fantasizing about outlandish images, but was so calm that he didn’t even move his eyebrows, and said in a brotherly, semi-commanding tone, “Do not think nonsense.”
