Chapter 152: Often Won’t Wake Up
Gu Huaiye was afraid he might receive a call from Xie Miaohan, so he didn’t dare drink much. He hadn’t even finished one can of beer by the end.
Chen Zirui, on the other hand, had drunk himself into a stupor. He was already lying on the bed asleep, letting out light snores.
Gu Huaiye helplessly took off Chen Zirui’s shoes and covered him with the quilt.
After showering, Gu Huaiye couldn’t leave the drunkard alone, so he made do and slept on the sofa for the night.
The sofa was a bit small, and when Gu Huaiye woke up, his whole body ached.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Chen Zirui had eagerly run out to buy breakfast for him.
Gu Huaiye messaged Xie Miaohan while brushing his teeth.
[Miaomiao, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?]
By the time he finished washing up, Xie Miaohan still hadn’t replied, so he stopped checking his phone.
It wasn’t until Gu Huaiye finished his morning classes that Xie Miaohan finally replied.
[Slept very well. I just woke up.]
Gu Huaiye curved his lips in a smile.
[Sleeping more is good too. You didn’t look very well before; you need to eat well and sleep well.]
[Okay.]
Presumably because he hadn’t seen Xie Miaohan all night, Gu Huaiye thought about him all day. The moment his last class ended, Gu Huaiye grabbed his things and returned to the Gu family villa.
The servant cleaning the main hall bowed respectfully when she saw Gu Huaiye.
Knowing Gu Huaiye would definitely look for Xie Miaohan upon his return, she told him directly, “Mr. Xie is still resting in the bedroom. Do you need me to go up and call him?”
“Sleeping?” Gu Huaiye checked his watch, frowning. “It’s almost six o’clock. Why is he still sleeping?”
“Do you need me to wake him?” the servant asked again.
Gu Huaiye thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“Forget it. Let him sleep a bit longer.” Gu Huaiye said, “Wake him when it’s time for dinner.”
“Yes.”
Afraid of disturbing Xie Miaohan’s rest, Gu Huaiye went straight to his own room, preparing to review the documents sent by his Little Uncle.
Just like in his previous lives, he began helping manage the company as soon as he entered his freshman year.
The only difference was that he often had to watch over Xie Miaohan, so he chose to handle the handover work with his Little Uncle online.
Gu Huaiye planned to go into the company to help once Xie Miaohan’s spirits improved a bit.
Having the experience of several lifetimes was like having a cheat code; securing partnerships was completely effortless.
At eight in the evening, just as Gu Huaiye closed his laptop, a knock sounded at the door.
Thinking it was a servant, Gu Huaiye called out, “Come in.”
The door opened to reveal Xie Miaohan.
“You’re awake.” Gu Huaiye smiled. “I was just planning to go to your room to find you.”
Xie Miaohan strode over and bent down to hug Gu Huaiye.
Gu Huaiye paused, then hugged him back.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Huaiye patted his back gently, his tone incredibly tender. “Did you think it was a dream again?”
Xie Miaohan held Gu Huaiye for a long while before slowly speaking. “Why didn’t you wake me?”
“I saw you looked very tired, so I didn’t go up to disturb you.” Gu Huaiye smiled. “Did you stay up late last night? Why did you sleep for so long?”
Xie Miaohan remained silent.
He also realized he seemed to be sleeping too much.
Ever since he started taking those medicines, he felt drowsy all the time and often wouldn’t wake up.
It caused him to miss time spent with Gu Huaiye.
He only saw Gu Huaiye during breakfast and dinner now.
He didn’t want to lose even this small amount of time.
“Next time you come back and find me sleeping, you must wake me up.”
Gu Huaiye thought Xie Miaohan was still in a state of unease because he hadn’t seen him the previous night, so he coaxed him softly.
“Okay, I’ll call you.”
Xie Miaohan held Gu Huaiye, burying his face in the crook of his neck, inhaling Gu Huaiye’s scent.
Suddenly, he smelled pheromones that didn’t belong to Gu Huaiye, and his brow immediately furrowed.
“Huaiye, what have you been doing today?”
Afraid Xie Miaohan would be uncomfortable bending over for so long, Gu Huaiye pressed him down to sit on his lap.
“Just attended class, had lunch with Chen Zirui at noon…”
Gu Huaiye paused, seeming to realize something, and his speech sped up a little.
“Did you smell Omega pheromones?”
Xie Miaohan gave a soft “En,” the dejection in his tone glaringly obvious.
Gu Huaiye stroked Xie Miaohan’s hair. “During lunch, an Omega at the table next to mine went into heat early. It nearly caused a riot. Fortunately, there were Beta students there who sent him to the infirmary for isolation.”
“Were you affected?”
That was truly a deadly question.
To say he wasn’t affected would be a lie; Gu Huaiye was an Alpha, after all.
Gu Huaiye weighed his words and hugged Xie Miaohan’s waist tighter.
“A little bit, but I went out for some fresh air and was fine. Honestly, his pheromones really didn’t smell good—too cloyingly sweet.” Gu Huaiye looked up, his tone sincere. “I still like Miaomiao’s pheromones the best.”
Only then did Xie Miaohan smile, lowering his head to kiss Gu Huaiye’s lips.
“Do you feel uncomfortable now? Do you need me to help you?”
Gu Huaiye hadn’t smelled it himself, but since Xie Miaohan had detected Omega pheromones, they definitely couldn’t do it right now.
It felt a bit disrespectful to Xie Miaohan.
“Wait until after dinner and a shower.”
Xie Miaohan nodded. “Then I’ll wait for you in the room.”
“Okay.” Gu Huaiye pinched Xie Miaohan’s cheek, his tone teasing. “Please maintain your stamina.”
“We’ll see who’s the one begging for mercy.”
Gu Huaiye: !!!
Good heavens.
He was actually being underestimated.
“I won’t beg! Tonight I’m going to tire you out!”
Xie Miaohan hooked the corner of his lips, leaned down to hug Gu Huaiye, and lightly kissed Gu Huaiye’s sexy collarbone.
Then, he quietly released his pheromones, wanting to cover the scent clinging to Gu Huaiye.
That way, the person would be his.
Gu Huaiye knew what Xie Miaohan was doing. Enduring the oppressive pheromones, he let Xie Miaohan do as he pleased.
That night, Gu Huaiye specially took a bath, scrubbing himself until he was fragrant before going to Xie Miaohan’s room.
He knocked for a while, and seeing the door didn’t open, he couldn’t help but start overthinking and barged straight in.
“Miaomiao, are you st—”
His voice cut off abruptly. He saw Xie Miaohan already asleep on the bed.
Gu Huaiye realized something was wrong with Xie Miaohan, wondering if this was too much sleep.
But he was also afraid Xie Miaohan was genuinely exhausted.
After thinking it over, he decided not to wake him. He took a pen and paper from the drawer.
[Goodnight. Let’s do it next time.]
The pen in Gu Huaiye’s hand paused, and he added another line.
[It’s not a dream. I haven’t disappeared. If you miss me, call me.]
He placed the note on the nightstand, weighing it down with Xie Miaohan’s phone.
Staring at Xie Miaohan’s sleeping face, he couldn’t resist bending down to kiss the corner of his mouth.
“Get well soon.”
“I love you.”
The next morning, Xie Miaohan snapped his eyes open, sitting up to look for Gu Huaiye.
Finding the room empty, a feeling of despair surged up once again.
It wasn’t until he saw the note on the table that his heart settled, confirming Gu Huaiye hadn’t disappeared.
He hurriedly got out of bed, not even putting on shoes, and ran toward Gu Huaiye’s room.
On the way, he met a cleaning servant.
“Mr. Xie, are you looking for the Young Master?” The servant stopped her work and said to Xie Miaohan, “The Young Master has already gone to school. He left not long ago.”
Xie Miaohan’s steps faltered, his eyes revealing disappointment.
He had missed him again.
