After Being Reborn, I Became Explosively Popular Across the Entire Internet CHAPTER 113
Chapter 113: Gu Ye is a Ninja Turtle
Gu Fei discovered An Qingyan inexplicably loved the smell of his perfume.
Since Gu Fei started wearing this perfume, An Qingyan would frequently lean in, like a puppy sniffing the man. At night, he would actively cuddle up to the man to sleep.
Late at night, Gu Fei lay lazily on the bed, his bony fingers casually playing with An Qingyan’s soft hair. The other’s face was buried in his neck, breathing softly, revealing rosy-white ears.
Gu Fei felt the skin of his neck burning, a tickling sensation as if ants were crawling all over him. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “YanYan, do you know…”
“Mm?” The person in his arms looked up, his beautiful peach blossom eyes clear and moist.
Gu Fei: “Your behavior right now… you’re like a little pervert.”
The man’s deep, calm eyes now held a hint of mockery. His low, magnetic voice made even the words “little pervert” sound different.
An Qingyan’s face flushed, quickly shifting his position to create distance from Gu Fei, weakly defending himself, “…I’m not.”
He muttered silently in his heart. If anyone’s a pervert, it’s Gu Fei first. That night, while he was asleep, Gu Fei had been… like a cat, purring at him and calling him ‘baby’.
But the next morning, everything was as if nothing happened. Even when he actively brought up wanting to… Gu Fei didn’t mention it again for a whole month.
He also didn’t hear ‘baby’ from the man’s mouth again.
Actually, he quite liked it.
Gu Ye was still the outwardly serious and proper Gu Ye. Every time they got intimate, he stopped before the final step, even if he was… aroused, enduring the discomfort.
He’s almost become a ninja turtle.
An Qingyan was really afraid he’d get… damaged.
After silent contemplation, An Qingyan moved closer again, holding the man’s long, slender fingers, playing with them casually. He seemingly casually said, “My arm is almost healed.”
“Mm, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up in a few days.” Gu Fei held the boy’s soft, slender fingers, kissing them lightly.
An Qingyan looked up at the man’s mature, calm face, hesitated for a moment, his lips moving slightly. His soft voice, like a mountain spring, was gentle and light. “So, things we couldn’t do before… can be done now.”
With Gu Fei’s sharp mind, he must have understood what he meant.
An Qingyan held his breath, nervously watching the man’s expression, waiting for his answer.
Gu Fei: “What do you want to do, YanYan?”
His expression didn’t change, as if he didn’t understand the implication of the sentence.
An Qingyan: “…Do push-ups. Exercise.”
Gu Fei ruffled his head. His gentle voice held a hint of helplessness and indulgence. “It’s late. Let’s sleep.” After that, he leaned down and kissed the young man’s forehead, turning off the lights. “Goodnight.”
An Qingyan: “…”
Why was the outcome different from what he expected?
He had mustered the courage to take the initiative, yet Gu Fei told him to go to sleep? He had reason to suspect this man was asexual, but could an asexual person… get aroused?
Clearly not.
Either Gu Fei didn’t understand him, or he was rejecting him. Obviously, it was the latter.
With the lights off, the surroundings were pitch black. An Qingyan silently sulked. He pushed away the man’s hand on his waist and silently moved to the side, creating distance.
He didn’t want to deal with this person, really.
But he secretly hoped Gu Fei would say something to coax him. He waited for a long time, but the person beside him remained motionless, breathing evenly, clearly asleep.
“…”
Forget it.
And so, An Qingyan, harboring a simmering resentment, slowly fell asleep.
Deep into the night, Gu Fei, who had been asleep, opened his eyes in the darkness. His deep eyes were clear, devoid of sleepiness; the night concealed the emotions in his eyes.
He gently leaned closer. In the dim light, he could only vaguely see the young man’s facial contours. He reached out, again wrapping his arm around the young man’s waist, then closed his eyes.
The night passed without a word.
An Qingyan had a dream. He was still unwilling, trying to subtly seduce Gu Fei in the dream, but the other had no reaction whatsoever, not even getting aroused.
…What a nightmare.
An Qingyan woke up startled by his own nightmare, taking a while to realize it was just a dream. The dream had been too realistic.
Sunlight streamed through the window. The bed beside him was empty. He glanced at the time: it was already nine o’clock. Gu Fei must already be at the company.
He let out an almost inaudible sigh, remembering last night’s events, feeling unhappy early in the morning. He decided to eat a couple of extra cupcakes to console himself, to mend his wounded heart.
After washing up, An Qingyan slowly walked out of the bedroom and into the dining room, where he found a strange woman sitting at the table.
The woman was roughly his mother’s age, very beautiful, still graceful, clearly a great beauty in her youth. Most importantly… she bore a resemblance to Gu Fei.
An Qingyan’s steps stopped; his heart leaped into his throat. A thought popped into his head: Could this be Gu Fei’s mother?
He strategically retreated two steps.
Compared to An Qingyan’s nervousness, Yu Qingtong was much happier. Upon seeing the young man, her eyes lit up, and a friendly smile graced her face. “You must be YanYan.”
An Qingyan nodded, his speech slightly hesitant. “A… Aunt, hello.”
“No need to be so nervous.” Yu Qingtong stood up, walking to his side, warmly taking his hand. She smiled and said, “I’m Gu Fei’s mother. Shu Man has told me about you. I’m your mother’s good friend.”
Gu’s mother seemed easy to get along with, easing An Qingyan’s tension, but he was still nervous. He nodded obediently. “Mm, I know.”
Yu Qingtong carefully looked at the young man before her. He was fair-skinned and exceptionally handsome, with delicate features that weren’t effeminate, appearing very sunny. He was even more handsome in person than in photos.
Although she was abroad, she learned about this and saw the talent show, following the online news. Now seeing him in person, his well-behaved and shy demeanor made her like him more and more.
“You look a lot like your mother.”
Thinking of the child’s past experiences, she felt heartache, sighing that he had truly suffered.
Looking at the shyly smiling young man, her eyes revealed a hint of tenderness. “YanYan, now that you’re back home, everything will be alright.”
An Qingyan smiled and nodded. “Mm.”
They had breakfast together. Yu Qingtong was a very humorous and cheerful person, and she was very kind to An Qingyan, gradually relieving his tension.
After breakfast, they chatted.
An Qingyan learned that Yu Qingtong had landed just an hour ago, without notifying anyone, not even Gu Fei. She had been traveling abroad, visiting many countries, enjoying her freedom, almost forgetting she had a son at home.
To this, An Qingyan could only silently give her a thumbs-up. “Aunt, you’re amazing!”
“YanYan, tell Aunt, how did you meet Gu Fei? How can you get along so well?”
Yu Qingtong was genuinely surprised. Her son’s cold personality—she didn’t know who he inherited it from—he had few friends since childhood. Yet YanYan could get along so well with him, even moving into the Gu residence after being reunited with his family.
When Shu Man told her, she suspected her son had been replaced. Was this still her son who always wore a cold expression? Goodness… this is unbelievable.
An Qingyan felt uneasy. It seemed his aunt didn’t know his relationship with Gu Fei. He certainly couldn’t tell the truth; most mothers in China wouldn’t accept their sons being with men.
“The first time we met, I had nowhere to go, and Gege saw me on the street. He probably felt sorry for me, so he took me home.”
Yu Qingtong was surprised. “Gu Fei is so kind-hearted?”
She had spent twenty-seven years with her son and had no idea Gu Fei was so kind. Would he randomly take in homeless people from the street? But thankfully, he took the child in; he did a good deed.
An Qingyan: “Gege is a really good person. He also took in a homeless stray cat.” Saying so, he picked up the little orange cat sitting on the floor, legs sprawled, licking itself with a particularly alluring posture.
“This is the cat, Xiao Ju (Little Orange).”
“…” How many things had Gu Fei secretly done? Picking up cats and people? Yu Qingtong looked at the plump little orange cat, questioning if it was really a stray. And little?
“Actually, Gege is easy to get along with. He’s very good to me, always taking care of me.” Although still slightly angry at Gu Fei, a smile unconsciously appeared on the young man’s face when talking about him.
Yu Qingtong: “???”
The Gu Fei in YanYan’s mouth seemed to be a different person from the Gu Fei she knew. Did her son have two faces?
“If he’s really that easy to get along with, he wouldn’t have been single until now.” Yu Qingtong sighed helplessly. “I’ve been hoping and hoping, but I haven’t even seen the shadow of a daughter-in-law.”
An Qingyan nervously lowered his eyes.
“YanYan, you’re handsome, so your taste must be very good.” Yu Qingtong shifted closer to the young man, taking out her phone and opening her photo album. “These are the future daughter-in-law candidates I’ve selected. Help me see which one is better.”
The screen showed photos of several beautiful girls; some were bright and others gentle, some were elegant ladies, and some were delicate and pretty.
