Zhou Cibai hadn’t been able to fully react to what Gu Jiqing meant, but his body had already hugged Gu Jiqing tightly.
He stood beside the bed, bent over, and stretched out his arms carefully, as if he were trying to convey warmth to Gu Jiqing, but was afraid of breaking something by accident.
Gu Jiqing looked at him, who was a little overwhelmed by the sudden amount of information, and chuckled, saying, “You can actually come to the bed and hug me.”
Zhou Cibai finally reacted and quickly got on the bed, lying next to Gu Jiqing, stretched out his hands to hold him tightly in his arms, and then asked in disbelief, “Did you mean that I can pursue you?”
Gu Jiqing buried her face in his arms and said, “I didn’t, I’m not asking you to pursue me. I just want you to wait for me until I get better.”
He didn’t want to make more promises to Zhou Cibai when he was not sure enough.
He also didn’t want to be unable to give Zhou Cibai the same complete love in return when he was with him.
Because he remembered Zhou Cibai saying that if one chooses to be with someone, one should spend their whole life together.
But life is really very long, and he needs enough strength and courage.
So he selfishly hoped that Zhou Cibai could wait for him until he became more determined, braver, and better, and then give Zhou Cibai a promise for a lifetime.
The premise of all this is that he has separated from the Gu family, is clean and independent, is not afraid of anyone, and owes no one anything.
He wanted to love Zhou Cibai without reservation and without restraint, just as Zhou Cibai loved him.
But chasing after someone is too hard.
He doesn’t need Zhou Cibai to pursue him.
“I’ll try to be quick, so please wait for me.”
Gu Jiqing felt that he was really a selfish and bad person, he took advantage of Zhou Cibai’s kindness and made requests to him again and again.
He would never ask for anything from someone else.
Gu Jiqing felt a little guilty.
However, out of his sight, Zhou Cibai’s expression had changed from disbelief to flattered and then to ecstasy. He held up Gu Jiqing’s head and kissed him on the forehead. “So you agree to let me pursue you?”
“No…”
Gu Jiqing looked into Zhou Cibai’s eyes, which were filled with an unconcealable smile of joy, and there was no time for him to explain.
Zhou Cibai lowered his head and kissed him again: “You just agree to let me pursue you!”
Gu Jiqing tried to explain: “No…”
Give a kiss.
“That is!”
“No……”
“That’s it!”
“No……”
“That’s it.”
“No……”
Forget it.
Gu Jiqing was kissed by Zhou Cibai until he lost his temper. He closed his eyes and leaned into Zhou Cibai’s arms. He thought that Zhou Cibai could think whatever he wanted. Anyway, he could see that Zhou Cibai was a kissing freak.
He still remembered clearly the last time Zhou Cibai kissed him in the kitchen and made him angry.
But the anger at that time didn’t seem to be anger.
He just feels scared.
He was afraid that Zhou Cibai’s enthusiastic expression of love would force all the things he had tried to avoid to be laid out before his eyes.
But now he feels that this ardent expression of love makes him feel secure, as if he can make a choice according to his own heart without being afraid of losing.
“But don’t you feel tired?” Gu Jiqing asked Zhou Cibai with his eyes closed.
Zhou Cibai held the back of his head and hugged him tightly in his arms, saying, “No, because dogs are originally clingy to human. Even if you push him away a thousand times, he will still run to you for the thousand, so I won’t get tired either.”
So he was chosen so firmly?
“What if I want to cancel the agreement?”
Gu Jiqing asked.
Zhou Cibai was stunned.
Gu Jiqing looked up at him, “I used to like being with you very much, but I wanted to avoid my feelings for you, so I signed that agreement. But now that I am not avoiding it anymore, should we get along like normal couples do before we get together?”
After all, generally speaking, they should get along with each other first, have a good impression of each other, get along with each other with the good impression, confirm the relationship, and then take the relationship further.
Their previous steps were a bit disordered, but Gu Jiqing wanted to give Zhou Cibai a healthy relationship, so he thought they should perhaps try a normal process of getting along.
But it was obvious that Zhou Cibai was still devastated by the sudden bad news after hearing the good news.
Gu Jiqing asked again: “So you are unwilling?”
“No!”
Zhou Cibai reacted and blurted out.
Although he really wanted to eat meat every day, he absolutely could not let Gu Jiqing think that he liked him because of that kind of thing, so he answered very straightforwardly without even thinking about it.
After answering, he felt a little regretful, lowered his eyelashes, and whispered, “But can you just temporarily cancel the second point in the agreement?”
Gu Jiqing blinked: “En?”
Zhou Cibai said, “We cannot do that kind of thing for now, but I still want you to live in my house, I don’t want anyone to pursue you, I want to cook for you and do housework for you, I want to walk with you, use couple avatars, bind a couple relationship, let everyone know that I am your boyfriend, and you are also my boyfriend.”
Zhou Cibai spoke in a low voice with his eyelashes drooping, sounding like he was trying his best to state his point calmly, but for some reason he sounded a little pitiful.
After saying that, he added, “Besides, since you’ve done that with me, you have to be responsible for me. The men in my family are very traditional, so you can’t cheat.”
That pitiful yet stubborn tone made Gu Jiqing feel guilty about being a heartless scum who had let down decent women and men.
He still couldn’t bear to make Zhou Cibai sad, so he reached out and touched the corners of Zhou Cibai’s lost eyes and softly said, “Okay.”
Then the next second, Zhou Cibai raised his eyelashes happily, turned around and pressed him under him, kissed him hard, and said with a smile, “Then it’s settled, whoever cheats is a puppy.”
The strength, the speed, the excitement—it was like Zhou Zhou pouncing on food.
Gu Jiqing, who was suddenly pressed down by him and kissed hard twice, suddenly began to doubt whether he had fallen into some kind of trap.
He thought again, probably not. Zhou Cibai is just a simple and honest big dog.
He closed his eyes, snuggled into Zhou Cibai’s arms, and planned to go back to sleep.
Zhou Cibai hugged him tightly in his arms and couldn’t help but kiss the top of his head with a smile, thinking that Gu Jiqing is indeed the softest and most gullible kitten in the world.
Then Gu Jiqing said, “Kiss is also not allowed.”
Zhou Cibai, who was happily kissing Gu Jiqing, was stunned. “Why?”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to pursue me? Normally, when a boy is pursuing someone he likes, would he kiss him without his consent?”
“……”
Zhou Cibai couldn’t refute it.
He let out an “En” a little aggrievedly.
Gu Jiqing slightly curled the corners of his lips in his arms.
Zhou Cibai is indeed a fool.
“So, when are we going home?”
Gu Jiqing asked.
Zhou Cibai touched his forehead and said, “The doctor said that your physical function may be reduced due to psychological factors. Although you received an IV today and your fever has almost subsided, and there is nothing wrong with your body, you still need to stay in the hospital for another day for observation.”
“Then what about Zhou Zhou?”
“Su Yuebai took it home and took care of it, saying that it was a way to atone for her sins.”
“En.” Gu Jiqing said, “But it’s a bit boring in the hospital.”
“Wait a minute, I’ll show you something.” Zhou Cibai turned over, took his computer from the bedside, turned back, lay on the bed, operated it for a while, and pointed it to Gu Jiqing. “Look.”
Gu Jiqing lay beside him and discovered that the computer screen was displaying a scene from “Nine Swords,” and a silver spirit pet egg emitting a lustrous luster was slowly spinning in the center of the screen.
Gu Jiqing blinked. When did Zhou Cibai start playing this game?
Zhou Cibai showed him the data of the egg and said, “The last time I saw you playing this game, you seemed to be looking for the egg of the baby divine dog. So I checked. That dungeon is very difficult to play, and the critical hit rate is low. I guess someone as troublesome as you would not want to keep playing it. So I bought a max-level account and went to the Divine Dog Peak for three days and three nights. As a result, I was lucky enough to finally find a baby divine dog egg. Isn’t it cute?”
As Zhou Cibai spoke, he clicked on the preview picture of the hatched baby divine dog and showed it to Gu Jiqing.
Gu Jiqing looked at the egg of the little divine dog that he had always wanted but was too lazy to brush. His heart was like a valley that had just opened up a little in the summer, and the warm wind continued to pour in.
At that time, he was angry with himself and snapped for no reason. He also complained that Zhou Cibai was too clingy, but Zhou Cibai secretly remembered the things he liked.
Zhou Cibai was completely oblivious to this and just continued, “And I’ve checked, the life system of this game is very well designed, so we can play together in the future. I’ll go to the dungeon, level up, and fight PK to get materials, and then we’ll farm together to support the family and repair the house, and you can raise the baby and decorate the house the way you like. In addition to this baby divine dog, Ithink there will be a limited edition jade baby cat released during the New Year, and I’ll help you get it then, okay?”
“Then we will have both a son and a daughter.”
Gu Jiqing lay beside Zhou Cibai and said this as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Cibai, who was sliding the touch screen mouse, paused.
Gu Jiqing tilted his head to look at him: “You know that in this game, if you want to build a house and raise a baby together, you need to be married, right?”
“En.”
Zhou Cibai’s little thoughts were exposed, and he pursed his lips unconsciously.
Because this game does not restrict marriage by gender, so…
So he felt that Gu Jiqing, the pharmacist in white, was quite suitable to be his wife.
Gu Jiqing looked at Zhou Cibai’s red ears after his thoughts were exposed, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes, but he calmly said, “En, okay, then let’s cultivate a new account together. From now on, you will support the family, Gege-chan.”
Zhou Cibai felt warm in his heart when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the last three words, his ears suddenly turned red: “Don’t mention Gege-chan anymore.”
“I think Gege-chan sounds pretty nice, right, Gege-chan?”
“Anyway, don’t call me Gege-chan anymore.”
“Why, Gege-chan?”
“Gu Zhi Zhi.”
Zhou Cibai got so angry that he covered Gu Jiqing’s mouth. Gu Jiqing smiled and tried to hide. The two of them fought back and forth, rolling around on the narrow single bed.
Young bodies that miss each other are caught in the same atmosphere.
Then, at a certain tacitly understood time, the two of them stopped at the same time, and after the laughter in the air faded away, the emotions could no longer be concealed.
Gu Jiqing lay on the pillow, looking at Zhou Cibai in front of him. Zhou Cibai was leaning over him, his ears flushed, and he avoided his sight in embarrassment.
It was as if they were going back to the very first Christmas Eve.
After the effects of the drugs wore off, they fell in love with each other while laughing and joking.
Gu Jiqing thought to himself, maybe Zhou Cibai was already different in his heart at that time, because he seemed to only like to annoy Zhou Cibai, and only Zhou Cibai could bring him a good atmosphere that was enough to make his heart move amidst laughter and noise.
If being moved once or twice was a coincidence of hormones, then being moved three or four times was destined to be between him and Zhou Cibai.
And he missed Zhou Cibai so much.
Even though it was only three short days, he also wanted to make up for the regrets of these three days.
He put his arms around Zhou Cibai’s neck, “Can you start pursuing me tomorrow?”
Zhou Cibai didn’t quite understand.
Gu Jiqing gently touched his lips and said, “Because I still owe you a reward, I can’t deceive you, and Zhou Cibai, I really miss you.”
His voice was gentle, and his lips were still hot from the high fever that had just subsided.
Zhou Cibai’s mood fluctuated greatly throughout the whole day, as if he had survived many disasters and still could not escape the temptation.
If Gu Jiqing was a demon, he would die willingly.
