Chapter 54: Gu Ye Takes Advantage of YanYan While He’s Drunk
Lin Qingyan didn’t know how tempting he looked at this moment. Gu Fei stared at him intently, his mind echoing the boy’s previous words: Then who do you like?
Looking at those bright and alluring eyes, Gu Fei’s gaze gradually became deep and hot, as if a fire was burning deep within his eyes. After a while, his voice hoarsely said, “Want to know who Fei Ge likes?”
Lin Qingyan nodded obediently.
He wanted to know.
Gu Fei swallowed. The drunk boy was too easy to deceive. He thought maliciously, If I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, I’ll be letting myself down.
The man outwardly remained calm and composed, but his heart was filled with mischievous ideas. He leaned over slightly, closing the distance between them, and said persuasively, “YanYan, want to know who Fei Ge likes? Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”
He pointed to his lips.
Lin Qingyan seemed to doubt his words. He frowned slightly in confusion, staring intently at the handsome, mature face in front of him. He had never seen anyone so handsome before, thinking that it wasn’t a loss, and a kiss was even a gain.
“Then I’ll kiss you, okay? I won’t take responsibility, okay?”
The corners of Gu Fei’s lips subtly rose. “Mm.”
“I’m really going to kiss you? Don’t regret it later?”
“Okay.”
Having received the answer, Lin Qingyan leaned in, putting his arms around the man’s neck, slightly tilting his head towards those beautifully shaped lips. Unlike the previous fleeting kiss, this was a real kiss.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still until Lin Qingyan pulled away, his arms still around the man’s shoulders.
“Now you can tell…”
Before he could finish, Gu Fei put his hand on the boy’s slender waist, hugging him tightly, his palm pressing against the back of his head, and kissed him.
“You…”
Lin Qingyan’s following words were swallowed. He was a little dazed, accepting Gu Fei’s kiss.
Gu Fei was like a lion that had been hungry for a long time, lurking in the dark, patiently waiting for its prey. When the prey came to him, he finally revealed his true nature, wantonly biting the trembling little prey, as if he wanted to devour it entirely.
Lin Qingyan felt like he was dreaming. He didn’t know how long it lasted. He was almost out of breath. His cheeks, already flushed with alcohol, were now as red as a monkey’s bottom.
Seeing that the person in his arms was almost suffocating…
Gu Fei finally let go.
Lin Qingyan leaned against him, taking deep breaths of fresh air, his eyes red, almost on the verge of tears. He wiped his lips, as if angry, and punched the man’s chest. “You… you bully!”
His strength was not even comparable to the little orange cat at home. Gu Fei took his slender wrist, pushing the boy’s shoulders slightly to create some distance. The man’s eyes were still deep as he looked at the boy, whose brows were tightly furrowed in grievance.
Gu Fei suppressed the urge to kiss him again. He calmed his emotions and returned to his calm demeanor, speaking gently, “Do you know the answer now?”
Lin Qingyan: “I don’t understand what you’re saying…”
He had apparently forgotten the question entirely.
Gu Fei chuckled helplessly, not dwelling on the question. He cupped Lin Qingyan’s flushed cheeks, his calloused fingertips gently covering the corner of his mouth, which had been accidentally bitten. “Does it hurt?”
Lin Qingyan shook his head, saying it didn’t hurt.
He smiled again, his moist peach blossom eyes curving slightly, as if he had forgotten the man’s earlier actions, leaning close to the man’s ear, whispering, “Since you’re so handsome, I’ll tell you a secret.”
“Mm? What secret?” Gu Fei cooperated, lowering his voice.
“I’m naturally incapable of feeling pain…”
Before he could finish, a knock interrupted them. “Mr. Gu, the hangover soup is ready.” Butler Shen said from outside the door.
Butler Shen’s arrival was ill-timed. Gu Fei seemed displeased and pursed his lips, having to release the person in his arms to open the door, standing in the doorway to receive the steaming hangover soup.
“Mr. Gu, is little Yan alright?”
Gu Fei responded, “I’ll take care of him.” He then closed the door, leaving Butler Shen standing there looking at the closed door, completely confused. Mr. Gu seemed unhappy?
It seemed he had come at the wrong time.
A meaningful smile flickered in Butler Shen’s eyes as he turned and went downstairs.
Turning back to look, the boy, who had been sitting, was now lying down, completely covered by the air-conditioned blanket, leaving only a small head outside, his eyes half-closed, seemingly about to fall asleep.
Gu Fei placed the hangover soup on the bedside table, kneeling beside the bed, watching him with interest, gently ruffling his soft black hair, reminding him like he was coaxing a child, “YanYan, you haven’t finished your secret.”
Lin Qingyan turned over, lying on his back to the man, grumbling lazily and unwillingly, “YanYan is sleepy; I want to sleep.”
He really was like a child.
Gu Fei looked at the back of the boy’s head, a smile playing on his lips. His usually cold and calm eyes now held a hint of warmth and tenderness, as if melting the frost.
He remembered the small child from his memory, now grown up. That child always wore ill-fitting, faded clothes and looked at him with clear, pure eyes, timidly calling him “brother.”
Even though he only had a single plum candy, even though he wanted to eat it himself, he still gave it to him.
Gu Fei thought, now it was his turn to give the child candy. Even though he was grown up now, even though he didn’t remember him, he was still willing to spoil him like a child.
Gu Fei stayed in the room for a while. When he was about to leave, his wrist was grasped by a soft, warm hand. Turning around, he saw Lin Qingyan, lying on the bed, looking at him with the same clear and pure eyes as when he was a child, saying pitifully, “Don’t go; will you stay with me and sleep?”
Gu Fei said okay, lifted the blanket, and lay down beside the boy, turning sideways to embrace him, gently stroking his back, like he was putting a child to sleep.
Lin Qingyan’s restless heart gradually calmed down. He found a comfortable position, resting his head on the man’s strong and broad shoulders, dependently hugging his arm, and finally closed his eyes to sleep.
Gu Fei lowered his head slightly, his lips brushing against the boy’s forehead. He gently kissed him through his hair, then turned off the light. In the darkness, he hugged the boy’s waist tightly, their breaths mingling with the faint scent of alcohol and the boy’s unique fragrance.
My darling, good night.
——
After Gu Fei left with Lin Qingyan, the other three didn’t stay at the club for long either. An Jing and An Yu were both quite shocked by Gu Fei’s actions and had no intention of continuing to have fun, so they took the drunk An Nanyi home.
“Where did you three go so late at night?”
“Why does it smell like alcohol… Nanan, what happened? Did you take him out drinking?” Song Shuman quickly came down the stairs. An Jing placed An Nanyi on the sofa. “Nanan is drunk.”
An Yu stood beside him, looking weakly at Song Shuman, saying with little confidence, “Mom, it’s not my fault, nor Big Brother’s. We don’t know what happened; Nanan just got drunk.”
Song Shuman was the mistress of the An family. Although she was fifty years old this year and the mother of three children, she was well-maintained, still looking beautiful and gentle. Her peach blossom eyes were soft and affectionate, showing that she must have been a great beauty in her youth.
“It’s fine for you two to go wild, but you even brought your brother along.” Song Shuman pretended to glare angrily at her eldest and second sons, but she was always gentle with her children and wouldn’t really be angry.
An Yu protested, “I’m wronged! Nanan was the one who wanted to go out with us!”
“Stop complaining. Take Nanan to his room. I’ll go to the kitchen and make some hangover soup. Mom, you just got back, go rest. We’ll take care of Nanan.”
The drunk An Nanyi suddenly hugged Song Shuman’s arm, looking at her with red eyes, sadly and aggrievedly acting like a spoiled child. “Mom, I’ve always been your good son, right? No matter what I do, you won’t abandon me, right?”
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Song Shuman frowned in confusion. “Silly child, why are you suddenly saying this? Nanan will always be Mom’s precious son. How could Mom abandon you?”
“Mm…”
——
The bedroom was dark, moonlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The atmosphere was quiet and warm. The boy was asleep in the man’s arms, but the man wasn’t sleepy.
Gu Fei was thinking about many things, all about Lin Qingyan.
For example, the secret he hadn’t finished – naturally incapable of feeling pain… What? Gu Fei instinctively felt that this was important, but Lin Qingyan was already asleep. By tomorrow, he wouldn’t be so easily fooled.
He could sense that Lin Qingyan’s mood wasn’t right, from the moment they entered the club’s private room… or rather, from the moment he saw An Nanyi, his mood was off.
In Gu Fei’s understanding, Lin Qingyan was well-behaved and sensible, sincere and polite. Butler Shen and the other household staff liked him, and Gu Fei could clearly perceive that Lin Qingyan disliked, even hated, An Nanyi.
How could he not see that, in the private room, Lin Qingyan had deliberately tugged at his clothes and told him he felt unwell. His purpose was to annoy An Nanyi.
Or perhaps, because An Nanyi had deliberately approached him, Lin Qingyan was jealous, and that’s why he did that.
Mm… the child was jealous, which means… the child likes him.
Gu Fei came to a conclusion in his heart.
