Part 3
The first time he saw Gu Lin?
Lin Zheng thought back carefully.
He saw Gu Lin on the street. That was a very dangerous scene. Gu Lin was being held hostage by a criminal.
Lin Zheng thought for a moment and said, “The first time I saw you, I thought you were handsome, but you also looked a bit scary… a bit hard to approach.”
Gu Lin raised an eyebrow.
So that was Lin Zheng’s first impression of him.
And he also knew when their first meeting was.
Lin Zheng hadn’t noticed before, but now he realized that Gu Lin was a master at this game. He kept winning.
Gu Lin had asked him several questions.
Finally, the tables had turned for the fifth time, and it was Lin Zheng’s turn to win.
He looked at Gu Lin and asked the question that had been bothering him for so long, “Why did you suddenly change your mind and not want me to go back to work?”
Gu Lin knew that no matter how much he tried to avoid it, he couldn’t run away from this question.
Gu Lin gently stroked Lin Zheng’s half-dry hair.
Gu Lin had originally kept Lin Zheng by his side to observe him, but later, it was because, as Yan Yang had said, he wanted to see him all the time.
But then Lin Zheng left. And after many difficulties, Lin Zheng came back.
He came back to the home they had once shared.
For Gu Lin, the word “home” had always been a simple concept. It was just a place he lived. Even if that place gave him a sense of belonging, it was too small to have any real impact on him.
Until Lin Zheng appeared.
Every morning, before he left for work, he would turn around and see Lin Zheng waving goodbye to him. And every evening, when he came home from a long day of work, he would open the door and see Lin Zheng waiting for him. That feeling deepened the meaning of “home” in Gu Lin’s heart and also increased his sense of belonging.
Over time, he had become used to this lifestyle.
He knew his thoughts were a bit selfish, but he really wanted their life to stay the way it was.
Even if Lin Zheng didn’t work, he could still take good care of him.
It was all because he didn’t want their current life to change.
Gu Lin placed a hand on Lin Zheng’s back and tightened his embrace, holding him close.
“You might resent me when you sober up. I’m sorry, I was too selfish. If you really want to go back to work, I’ll respect your decision. Your work ability is great, and you’ve helped me a lot during your time with me.”
Gu Lin said, and lowered his head.
He saw that the person in his arms had already fallen asleep.
Feeling the rhythmic breathing on his chest, a slightly helpless smile appeared in Gu Lin’s eyes, but it quickly turned into a look of deep affection.
Gu Lin gently moved Lin Zheng’s arm from his body, then lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
Gu Lin lowered his head, leaving a light kiss on Lin Zheng’s forehead. “Goodnight.”
My little rabbit.
Lin Zheng woke up in the morning with a headache. The warm sunlight from the window shone on the floor and the white blanket.
Lin Zheng suddenly noticed something.
Hmm? Why is the blanket so wide?
When did I get so wide?
The “pillow” under his head seemed to move a little. Lin Zheng held his breath and slowly turned his head.
When he saw Gu Lin’s beautiful sleeping face next to him, Lin Zheng’s head instantly cleared up.
Then, last night’s crazy memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
Starting from the moment he was drinking with Gu Lin’s father.
Lin Zheng remembered everything.
In that moment, Lin Zheng felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him.
He remembered calling Gu Lin’s father his “bro,” and even agreeing to play golf with him on the weekend. He also remembered his one-sided flirtatious behavior with Gu Lin in the living room, and every other small detail from last night…
At that moment, all he could think of was… Why am I still alive? Why didn’t I just get alcohol poisoning and die? Or maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad if I just drowned in the bathtub?
In short…
Why am I still alive?!!
No, he couldn’t stay here any longer.
Lin Zheng was being held in Gu Lin’s arms, and Gu Lin’s hand was behind his head, being used as a pillow.
Lin Zheng tried to move his head away, but his waist was still being held by Gu Lin’s arm.
He put his hands under the blanket, carefully placing them on Gu Lin’s fingers, trying to pry them open one by one without waking him up so he could escape.
But as soon as his hand touched Gu Lin’s hand, the person behind him, as if triggered, tightened his grip.
Lin Zheng cursed inwardly.
Although this wasn’t the first time the two of them had slept in the same bed, after everything that happened last night, lying so close to Gu Lin felt wrong.
Lin Zheng had to change his plan. He decided to flip over with all his might, pretending he was just turning in his sleep. Gu Lin would probably be woken up, but he would go back to sleep, or just get up and leave. Then he could sneak away.
That’s right, that’s what he would do.
Thinking this, Lin Zheng, with all his might, flipped over from right to left.
The hand around his waist did loosen a bit, but… when he flipped over…
Lin Zheng stared, dumbfounded, at the wide chest right in front of him.
He slowly lifted his head, and just happened to meet a pair of smiling eyes. “You’re awake?”
Lin Zheng: “…”
This was bad.
Gu Lin, in a hoarse voice, asked, “Are you feeling okay?”
Lin Zheng thought, I’m done for.
In the past, Lin Zheng had thought that remembering things when he was drunk was his special talent. It was something he could be proud of.
But now, that talent had become a weakness. Lin Zheng desperately wished he could forget everything that happened last night, including the time he pulled Gu Lin into the water and sat on him. My God, how embarrassing!
And not only that, but he had also spilled all his secrets to Gu Lin.
It was so embarrassing. How could he face Gu Lin now?
A hand was placed on Lin Zheng’s forehead. Lin Zheng didn’t dare to move.
He then heard Gu Lin say, “Good, you don’t have a fever.”
Lin Zheng was stunned for two seconds, then turned his face away, trying to hide the shame that was welling up inside him. He met Gu Lin’s gaze.
Gu Lin had long seen through his thoughts.
Gu Lin smiled, his voice a bit lazy from just waking up, “What? You remember what happened last night?”
As soon as Gu Lin said that, Lin Zheng’s face turned completely red.
He couldn’t hold it in any longer.
The shame was seeping through his skin.
Gu Lin found the person in front of him incredibly cute.
Lin Zheng slowly moved down, pulling the blanket up to cover his head.
Gu Lin bent his arm, resting his pillow on the pillow that was behind Lin Zheng’s head, and said with a smile, “Are you shy now? By the way, didn’t you agree to play golf with my dad?”
Gu Lin lifted a corner of the blanket, intentionally asking, “Did you get your golf club ready? If not, I can lend you mine.”
As soon as Gu Lin finished, Lin Zheng snatched the blanket from his hand, wrapping himself up again.
He didn’t want to see anyone…
He never wanted to see anyone again.
He couldn’t even play golf!
How was he going to face Gu Lin? And how was he going to face Gu Lin’s dad?!
