Chapter 101 Yan Yan and Gu Ye “Help” Each Other
Lin Qingyan vowed to defend his last shred of dignity and stubbornness. His thin shoulders trembled slightly, but he refused to let go.
Gu Fei looked at the young man’s heroic-martyr-like appearance, feeling both helpless and amused. He pretended to look towards the doorway. “Xiao Ju came in.”
Lin Qingyan turned to look behind him, following the sound, but he didn’t see Xiao Pang Ju (the chubby orange cat). At that moment, the fabric he was clutching suddenly vanished, followed by a chill on his lower body—he was completely exposed.
Lin Qingyan: “…”
Gu Fei had launched a surprise attack while he was off guard!
“You… you’re cheating!”
His face flushed, he stepped into the bathtub, large enough for two adult men, and curled up into a ball.
The warm bathwater made the young man’s fair skin slightly pink. Those expressive peach blossom eyes were now misty with water, and he lifted his thin chin, looking at the man in front of him with apprehension and helplessness.
The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his eyes instantly deepening. His magnetic and gentle voice held an inexplicable sensuality. “Yan Yan, sit still.”
…
Lin Qingyan felt like a fish on a cutting board, at the mercy of the butcher. He kept his eyes closed, his long eyelashes wet and trembling slightly, his body tense.
Gu Fei washed him very carefully and thoroughly, but it was too thorough. He attended to every inch of his body. Lin Qingyan, being a normal man, inevitably had a certain reaction.
Gu Fei paused.
The young man hung his head deeply. His slender neck was thin and fragile, and his ears were so red they were about to bleed. He gritted his teeth, his voice trembling. “You… you go out first!”
Gu Fei didn’t move.
“Fei Ge will help you.” The man’s voice was slightly hoarse.
…
The night was hazy. The cool night breeze stirred the curtains. The bedroom was quiet, except for the occasional sound of water and suppressed gasps and moans from the closed bathroom.
Having resolved the issue, Lin Qingyan leaned weakly against the bathtub, his tense body relaxing.
His handsome and delicate face was as red as a ripe peach, his moist eyes still holding a lingering mistiness.
The water in the tub had cooled considerably. Gu Fei lifted the young man out of the water, wrapped him in a towel, and carried him out of the bathroom. This time, the person in his arms didn’t resist, only too shy to look up.
Lin Qingyan was placed on the bed, and Gu Fei picked up the pajamas he had prepared and helped him dress. The man’s movements were still careful and gentle, but his speed in dressing him increased slightly.
Lin Qingyan kept his head down, his gaze fixed on the man’s large, clearly defined hands, which were fastening his shirt buttons. He couldn’t help but look up, meeting those handsome, mature eyes, his heart suddenly startled.
The man’s complexion wasn’t good; he looked strange. His facial features were tense, his dark eyes were unusually deep, and his thin lips were pressed together, as if he was suppressing something.
Lin Qingyan’s gaze shifted downwards, instantly understanding.
Gu Fei wasn’t as sexually frigid as the rumors suggested.
The last button was fastened. “Done.” Gu Fei withdrew his hand, about to turn and walk towards the bathroom, when his wrist was suddenly grasped by a soft, warm hand.
“What is it?” His voice was even lower.
The young man in his line of sight sat neatly on the bed, clean and refreshed, the faint scent of shower gel drifting into his nostrils. The young man’s beautiful face was still flushed, now looking at him with slight shyness.
Gu Fei couldn’t help but swallow, his own discomfort growing.
After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Qingyan finally whispered, “Fei Ge… I’ll help you.”
Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Gu Fei’s eyes, his gaze subtly assessing the person in front of him. He knew how shy the child was. “Yan Yan, are you sure?”
Lin Qingyan: “Mm… didn’t you help me just now?”
Gu Fei: “Okay.”
…
Time passed minute by minute. Lin Qingyan somewhat regretted offering to help, because he and Gu Fei were simply not on the same level, in any aspect.
He had lost at the starting line from birth; it was really unfair.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom; Gu Fei was showering.
Lin Qingyan remained seated on the bed, his expression a bewildered mix of disbelief. He looked down at his left hand; after doing so much work, it felt a little tired.
——
The next morning, Lin Qingyan went to the company with Gu Fei. He didn’t really want to go, but he could tell the man was still worried about him. Ever since learning about his lack of pain sensation, the man had been in this state.
The employees of Gu Corporation were the most shocked. They saw their usually cold and distant Gu Ye bringing a beautiful young man to the company, and this beautiful young man was a newly debuted idol who had recently become popular all over the internet.
The main character of the hottest topic these days.
This… this… this world is too unreal!!
How could Lin Qingyan know their Gu Ye, and seem to have a good relationship with him? When had Gu Ye ever brought someone unrelated to work to the company, and stayed here for a whole day!
If one were to say there was any relationship between the two, it would be boss and employee. Lin Qingyan was an artist under Yi Hua Entertainment, and Gu Ye was the big boss of Yi Hua.
The idle gossiping employees were discussing this privately, but only Gu Fei’s assistant, Yang Jing, knew what was going on. That wasn’t Gu Ye’s employee at all; he was clearly Gu Ye’s precious darling!
The CEO’s office was spacious and bright, usually very quiet.
Occasionally, the sound of the man answering the phone or subordinates coming in to report on work would be heard. The subordinates who came in invariably stole a few glances at the beautiful young man.
Gu Fei had a second set of desk and chair added next to his desk, piled high with learning materials, such as “Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Simulated Exams,” “The Little Scholar of the College Entrance Examination,” and so on.
These were specially purchased by Gu Fei; he was afraid Lin Qingyan would be bored, so he found something for him to do.
“…” Lin Qingyan looked at the thick stack of books in front of him, feeling that he would never finish them in his lifetime. Most people in this world don’t like to study, and he was no exception.
He was always self-disciplined, but he only studied because he forced himself to.
Just looking at these study materials made his head ache… No, he didn’t feel pain.
Besides study materials, Gu Fei had also thoughtfully prepared some extracurricular books for him, such as “Les Misérables,” “Hamlet,” and other world-renowned classics to cultivate his sentiments.
And also “Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales,” “Ten Thousand Whys,” “The Little Prince,” and other children’s books.
Lin Qingyan: “…” Very thoughtful.
He held a fairy tale book, but his thin eyelids lifted, secretly observing the man beside him. Gu Fei was sitting at his desk reviewing documents.
Gu Fei always worked very seriously. From Lin Qingyan’s perspective, he could see the man, dressed in expensive shirts and trousers, sitting upright, his handsome profile sharp, his eyes slightly lowered, looking at the documents intently.
He exuded the charm of a mature man.
Unknowingly, Lin Qingyan went from secretly watching to openly watching. From the moment he first met Gu Fei, he felt that this man was exactly his type; he could never get tired of looking at him.
Bright sunlight streamed into the office.
The young man’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile, like a kitten that had stolen fish.
Just then, the man, who had been intently looking at his documents, suddenly turned his head, just in time to see the smile on the young man’s lips that hadn’t yet been completely suppressed.
Gu Fei: “Yan Yan, you’ve been staring at me for three minutes.”
The someone who had been caught red-handed immediately retracted his gaze, lowered his head to stare at the book in front of him, and said in a weak voice, “Not that long… I only looked twice.”
A little person in Lin Qingyan’s heart was frantically writhing and rolling around. Gu Fei was working so seriously, how could he have noticed him staring? He thought to himself, unaware that his gaze was so focused and blatant that it was hard not to notice.
“When you look at me like that, I can’t concentrate on my work.” The man’s expression was somewhat helpless.
Lin Qingyan felt guilty and was about to apologize when he heard the man softly add, “I just want to hug you… kiss you, what to do?”
Lin Qingyan’s eyes widened.
Gu Ye, naturally, followed his heart’s desires. He leaned over, extended his long arm, and easily pulled the swivel chair the young man was sitting on closer. He propped his hands on either side of the swivel chair’s armrests, looking meaningfully at the person in front of him, whose eyes were wide with shock.
He asked softly, “Why were you staring at me?”
Lin Qingyan blinked in confusion, subconsciously blurting out his thoughts, “Because… you’re handsome.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Fei covered his lips.
He cooperated and closed his eyes.
Just as they were kissing passionately, a crisp knock came from outside, instantly breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the office.
The young man, like a startled little animal, immediately pushed the man away, and quickly returned to his seat with his chair, while the still unsatisfied Gu Ye pursed his lips in displeasure.
“Come in.”
As Gu Fei’s most trusted assistant, Yang Jing keenly sensed the coldness in Gu Ye’s tone. When he pushed the door open, he indeed saw that the boss’s expression was more somber than usual.
Mm… it seemed he had come at the wrong time.
Assistant Yang came forward with a forced smile. “Gu Ye, representatives from XX Company have arrived and are waiting in the meeting room.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but glance at the young man sitting next to him. The young man was holding a book and reading intently. Mm… the book seemed to be “Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales.”
Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales?!
Assistant Yang couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Gu Fei simply hummed indifferently and said to Assistant Yang, “Wait outside.”
“Okay.”
After Assistant Yang left, Gu Fei went to the young man’s side, bent down and lightly pecked his lips twice, saying softly, “Be good and stay here, wait for me to come back.”
“Okay.”
