Chapter 77.2: 哄好
[Coax (deceive) Well]
Chen Xing was dumbfounded, his face froze with excitement, then he looked at handsome Gu Lang who was smiling thinly at him under the moonlight, then he swept his eyes down his face. His originally a little pink face, gradually turned into a big red color.
Chen Xing seemed to have thought of something, as if he had been scalded, he immediately let go of their holding hand, moreover he took two steps back, revealing embarrassed look but with a little bit of an expectant expression towards Gu Lang, “I, we’ve only just established our relationship, it seems a little bit not too good to progress to this step so quickly, doesn’t it?”
Chen Xing’s mouth said that, but the anticipation in his eyes could not fool people. Although he felt that they had only progressed to this step of kissing, the next step was to immediately □□ see each other, which was just too exciting.
Although Chen Xing didn’t think it was a good idea, he looked at Gu Lang’s expression with a little more anticipation, and even began to fantasize whether Gu Lang’s body was as good looking as his face. If it was also that good looking, he was a little worried that he wouldn’t be able to control himself.
Gu Lang originally just wanted to tease Chen Xing for a little, thinking that he would look at himself with a red face like in the past, but he didn’t think that he would react this way, not only did he take it seriously, but he could even tell that Chen Xing was also secretly looking forward to this matter from the way he was looking at himself with a gradually fiery gaze.
Seemingly because he had discovered the thoughts in Chen Xing’s heart, Gu Lang snorted and laughed out, that originally handsome face was filled with joyful at this time, it looked exceptionally pleasing to the eyes and warming his heart.
Chen Xing heard Gu Lang’s this laugh, looked at the teasing in his eyes, Chen Xing suddenly reacted to the fact that he was fooled, thinking that when he was lost in thought just now, he was already imagining that he pressed Gu Lang in the bathtub this way and that way, this and that way and that way, but he didn’t think that Gu Lang was just fooling him!
Chen Xing immediately flew into a rage from shame as he looked at Gu Lang and grunted heavily, turned around and ran away.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s back as he ran away, the teasing in his eyes gradually withdrew, leaving only a piece of tenderness, he raised his eyes to look at the bright moon high in the sky, muttering in a low voice, “Wait for me a little longer, wait for me to be sure again, to be sure that I can accompany you for the rest of your life, then I will be with you for real.”
Chen Xing huffed and ran away, directly ran into the kitchen, looked at the pomelo leaves that were sitting on the shelf, he picked up a handful of them and left. When he got to the bathroom, he looked at the steaming tub and angrily wanted to throw down all the pomelo leaves in his hand.
However, before he was about to throw the pomelo leaves down, Chen Xing slowly put down the pomelo leaves in his hand again, looked at the large handful of leaves in his arms, he took out a piece from it, muttering under his breath, “Still save some for him.”
Chen Xing then proceeded to throw the pomelo leaf down again, and after seeing the lone piece out of the corner of his eye, he put down the leaf in his hand again, and reluctantly took out another piece in his hand, muttering, “One piece is a bit too little, forget it, better give him another piece. Isn’t two slices also not enough, will it seem like I am being too stingy?”
By the time Gu Lang came to the bathroom, what he saw was a small pile of pomelo leaves, the quantity looked a lot, but because the leaves were all small, the pile only looked like a small pile.
Gu Lang looked at the small pile of leaves, therefore the scene of Chen Xing muttering while selecting the leaves suddenly appeared in front of him, and he suddenly thought Chen Xing cute again.

The next morning, because of yesterday’s whole day’s excitement, Chen Xing, who usually gets up on time, today lazily get up from his bed.
Gu Lang, however, got up early, came to Chen Xing’s room to take a look, saw that he was still sleeping, his face was red from sleep, gently touched his face, watched him roll over impatiently, laughed without voice, followed by giving him a gentle press in the quilt, before he silently left his room.
It wasn’t until the door to Chen Xing’s room was gently closed that the person on the bed looked as if he was having some kind of beautiful dream, gently smashing his mouth for a moment before rolling over again and continuing to drift off into dreamland.
Gu Lang came straight to the study room, looking at Qiu Jiu who had been waiting there for a long time. The gentleness on his face when he faced Chen Xing just now had long since disappeared as he looked at him and commanded in a deep voice, “Go and take a look on the streets, see if the notices that the county magistrate had said yesterday had been posted up or not.”
“Yes.” Qiu Jiu received the order and was about to go out when he heard his master continue to say,
“That’s right, when you come back, go to Shop Fu to buy some steamed meat buns, and buy a few portions of congee there.” After saying that, he seemed somewhat not at ease as he continued, “Remember not to buy the wrong ones, Chen Xing prefers that family’s buns, he doesn’t like to eat the others.”
Hearing these words, Qiu Jiu suddenly had a feeling of being full without eating, he answered in a low voice, “Yes, I know. (literal one use ‘this little one’ which means ‘I’ when talking to a superior)”
