The second floor was restless all night.
Qiao Shu sat in the bathtub, tiredly leaning against Gu Chenyan’s chest. He let Gu Chenyan wash away the traces on his body. Amidst the contentment and drowsiness, there was still a bit of frustration and a desire to bite Gu Chenyan.
And he did bite.
But because Qiao Shu had been exhausted from the earlier activities, his bite was naturally gentle, not painful, but rather ticklish.
However, Gu Chenyan’s breath became heavier.
He gently patted Qiao Shu’s arm and hoarsely said, “Let go.”
Qiao Shu: “No!”
He hummed softly, not only did he not let go, but he also ground his teeth on Gu Chenyan’s arm. “Mr. Gu is so naughty.”
The reproachful tone was soft and weak due to the lack of strength, but it seductively stirred Gu Chenyan’s heart.
His heart itched even more.
Gu Chenyan’s eyes darkened. “Little Mr. Qiao, aren’t you tired yet?”
His hand deliberately dipped into the water.
Qiao Shu’s body immediately stiffened.
As an LSP, he naturally desired and was unafraid, but reality was not a novel. He had the heart of an LSP but not the body of steel.
The soreness in his waist and legs reminded Qiao Shu mercilessly: ‘You can’t handle being an LSP anymore.’
Qiao Shu felt indignant.
He didn’t want to cry anymore.
His eyes were still swollen.
Gu Chenyan: “Let go.”
Qiao Shu could only reluctantly let go. But before doing so, he retaliated by biting.
Gu Chenyan gasped in pain.
Qiao Shu looked at the marks he left on Gu Chenyan’s chest and chuckled smugly.
Gu Chenyan: “Mischievous.”
Gu Chenyan helplessly tapped the soft flesh of Qiao Shu’s arm, which was imprinted with his fingerprints, under the water.
Qiao Shu pouted.
He said with righteous indignation, “Who allowed you, Mr. Gu, to bully Little Shu first?”
He sniffed lightly. “And, Mr. Gu, you’re not allowed to abstain so casually in the future.”
Men who abstain are truly terrifying.
Especially those who have abstained for a year; they are genuinely frightening.
Qiao Shu still remembered; when he opened the study door, Gu Chenyan’s eyes were almost red.
Like a lead wolf seeing its prey, dangerous and aggressive.
But at that time, Qiao Shu was too preoccupied with shyness and smugness. He was wearing a bunny outfit, mimicking poses he found online, and seductively approached Gu Chenyan step by step.
He sat on the desk, pulling the man’s collar, offering himself up.
Offering himself to the wolf’s jaws.
Thinking of the bell ringing in the study, Qiao Shu blushed, realizing that their roleplay in the study had actually unfolded like this.
Qiao Shu glared weakly at Gu Chenyan, suppressing the fiery accusation on his cheeks. “Abstinence is unpleasant, and breaking it is even more exhausting.”
“Look!”
Qiao Shu raised his arm.
This man had even left several red marks domineeringly on his arm, and there were even more marks on his neck. He would have to wear a high collar tomorrow.
Gu Chenyan: “It’s my fault.”
Qiao Shu pouted. “Tiring.”
Gu Chenyan lowered his head, kissing Qiao Shu continuously to soothe him. It took quite some time before Qiao Shu forgave him.
He carefully cleaned Qiao Shu. He took a towel from the side, wrapped up the cleaned Qiao Shu in it, and carried him out of the bathtub, heading towards the exit.
Qiao Shu felt pampered by the care, and as he changed into pajamas and sank into the soft bed, his consciousness began to blur. However, he still remembered something.
He grabbed Gu Chenyan’s hand, his voice groggy and sleepy. “Mr. Gu, the study… the bunny outfit…”
Gu Chenyan’s gaze flickered at the thought of Qiao Shu’s bunny outfit in the study, torn by him.
Gu Chenyan: “Yeah.”
Gu Chenyan: “Go to sleep.”
Only then did Qiao Shu drift off peacefully.
Meanwhile, the busy President Gu quietly slipped into the study in the dead of night to erase all traces of Qiao Shu.
He picked up the rabbit tail, rabbit ears, and rabbit bell from the floor…
Then he cleaned these items and put them all in a box, carefully arranging them.
Qiao Shu took two days to recuperate before bouncing back to his usual self.
One day, Qiao Shu was doing stretching exercises in the gym. After the incident with the bunny outfit, he felt his physical strength was lacking due to pregnancy, and his flexibility had decreased. So he decided to exercise.
Of course, the most important thing was that Qiao Shu wanted to get rid of the last traces of imperfection on his body.
While exercising, Qiao Shu’s phone rang.
Qiao Shu put down his legs, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and picked up his phone to answer.
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu?”
Gu Chenyan: “Help me pick up a delivery.”
Delivery?
Qiao Shu was puzzled. It was the first time Gu Chenyan had a delivery sent to the house. Usually, those document deliveries went directly to the company and were received by Chen Wenyuan.
He didn’t think much about it. “Okay.”
The delivery box was quite large but not heavy. Qiao Shu signed the delivery slip and quickly returned to the house with the package. It was too cold outside.
He brought the package back to the living room and looked at the large box with suspicion. This definitely wasn’t company documents.
But Qiao Shu didn’t open it rashly. He sat on the sofa and called Gu Chenyan.
Qiao Shu: “I’ve received the delivery.”
Qiao Shu: “What is it? Do you want me to put it in the study for you?”
Gu Chenyan: “No need.”
Gu Chenyan: “This is for you.”
Qiao Shu was taken aback. “For me?”
Gu Chenyan chuckled lightly. “Yes. Open it and see.”
Qiao Shu’s eyes sparkled with excitement. This was the gift Gu Chenyan had sent him!
He happily found a knife, carefully cutting through the tightly wrapped tape on the delivery box, being cautious not to use too much force, afraid of accidentally damaging the gift inside.
Qiao Shu opened the package while talking to Gu Chenyan on speakerphone, “What’s inside?”
Qiao Shu: “Mr. Gu, what did you send me? Why so mysterious?”
Qiao Shu: “When did you buy this?”
Qiao Shu: “Why did you suddenly want to buy me something?”
Qiao Shu: “But I’m so happy.”
In the office, Gu Chenyan looked at the Qiao Shu figurine on his desk, revealing a gentle yet expectant smile. “It was a sudden idea.”
Gu Chenyan: “But, it was inspired by you, Little Mister.”
Qiao Shu: “Me?”
Gu Chenyan: “Yes.”
As the knife cut through the tape on the cardboard box, Qiao Shu exclaimed excitedly, “Mr. Gu, I’m opening it!”
Qiao Shu eagerly opened the box, looking inside with anticipation, then blinked.
“…”
What’s this?
He picked up something from the box, and as soon as he realized what it was, his face quickly turned as red as an apple.
Qiao Shu: “!!!”
Qiao Shu: “Gu, Gu Chenyan…”
Gu Chenyan smiled, “Do you like it?”
Qiao Shu: “…”
He looked at the cat costume, pig costume, little tiger costume, and duckling costume inside the box…
Qiao Shu slapped his face.
He blushed uncontrollably.
Holding a cat tail, he murmured softly, “Why did you buy this? And why so many?”
It’s too embarrassing…
On the phone, Gu Chenyan said solemnly, “I noticed that Little Mr. Qiao looks beautiful in these.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
Gu Chenyan, you’ve changed!
How could you evolve again!
And into this kind of evolution!
Ah!
Qiao Shu bit his lip, covering his face.
Gu Chenyan: “Do you like it?”
Qiao Shu: “…”
He blushed and stammered, “Uh, well…”
Click
Qiao Shu was startled and quickly turned his head.
Aunt Sun was carrying the already awake baby and walking towards the living room, greeting him along the way, “Mr. Qiao.”
Qiao Shu: “…”
In an instant, Qiao Shu’s face grew even redder. He couldn’t care less about talking to Gu Chenyan anymore. He quickly turned his head, hastily stuffing the costumes he had just taken out back into the box.
Then, he grabbed the box and hurriedly stood up, rushing upstairs in a panic.
He was as fast as the wind.
Aunt Sun: “…”
She blinked in confusion.
Feeling his dad’s presence, the baby happily exclaimed “Ah” and greeted his dad.
But Qiao Shu, feeling guilty like a thief, dared not stop to attend to the baby. He ran off quickly, disappearing around the corner of the stairs in the blink of an eye.
It wasn’t until he ran back into his room, and closed and locked the door, that Qiao Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close!
How could he let others see such things? It was too embarrassing.
The baby was still too young for this!
Qiao Shu slapped his cheeks.
His eyes were now watery.
He carried the box into the closet, then hesitated, wondering where to put these things.
Putting them in too conspicuous a place wasn’t good. After all, such things were quite embarrassing.
But hiding them too well wasn’t good either. After all, they were bought with money, and it would be a waste not to use them. When he needed them, he couldn’t be searching all over…
Ahem
Qiao Shu cleared his throat nervously.
“Little Mr. Qiao?”
Gu Chenyan’s voice came through the phone. Only then did Qiao Shu remember he was still holding the phone. He had just been talking to Gu Chenyan on speakerphone.
Qiao Shu blinked and picked up the phone.
Gu Chenyan asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Why haven’t you been saying anything?”
His voice sounded hurried.
Like he was running.
“I’m running for my life,” Qiao Shu said, sitting cross-legged on the carpet in the closet.
“Running for your life?” Gu Chenyan asked, puzzled.
Qiao Shu pouted, accusing, “It’s all because of you, hmph.”
Gu Chenyan: “Blame me?”
Qiao Shu snorted lightly. “I was just opening the package in the living room, and then Aunt Sun showed up with Zai Zai.”
Gu Chenyan understood.
Qiao Shu continued, “Luckily, I ran fast. Otherwise, the things in the box would have been seen.”
Qiao Shu: “So embarrassing.”
Qiao Shu: “It’s all your fault.”
“For buying this kind of stuff,” his face flushed, and he blinked, “and not telling me in advance. If you had, I wouldn’t have opened it in the living room.”
Qiao Shu: “Just a little bit more.”
Qiao Shu: “Hmph.”
Gu Chenyan chuckled.
He promptly admitted his mistake. “It’s my fault. Next time, I’ll be sure to give you a heads-up beforehand.”
But Qiao Shu focused on something else. “Next time? There’s still a next time?” His face reddened even more. “You’re still buying…?”
Qiao Shu: “So, so embarrassing.”
Gu Chenyan couldn’t hold back his amusement and laughed on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Shu exclaimed, “You’re not allowed to laugh, Mr. Gu!”
Gu Chenyan readily agreed. “Okay.”
Gu Chenyan: “I’m not laughing.”
Qiao Shu’s face was about to explode with redness. “You swear you didn’t laugh.”
“I swear,” Gu Chenyan replied.
Only then did Qiao Shu let him off the hook.
Gu Chenyan asked again, “Do you like this gift, Little Mr. Qiao?”
Qiao Shu bit his lip.
He looked at the contents of the box, hesitated for a moment, and finally admitted honestly, “Um, I quite like it.”
He blinked, then casually whispered, “I’ve recovered.”
On the other end of the phone came a low chuckle that made Qiao Shu feel ticklish inside, followed by words that made him blush: “Can Little Mr. Qiao try on the new clothes tonight?”
Qiao Shu couldn’t help but curl his toes. “Y-yes.”
As he was about to hang up the phone, Qiao Shu couldn’t help but complain, “Mr. Gu, you’re becoming more and more improper.”
Listening to the dial tone on his phone, Gu Chenyan raised an eyebrow.
Improper?
Author’s note:
Qiao Qiao, how many men can be serious with their wives? Mr. Gu has already been inappropriate for a long time, he’s even got developmental issues.
