Qi Le's heart skipped a beat, but then he realized that this man wasn't calling for him, but rather dreaming. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. But before he could break free of his grip, he was suddenly pulled over, his whole body landing on the bed. He exclaimed in shock but shut up at once, afraid to wake Gu Bai up.
Gu Bai's lips curled into a shallow smile in the dark. He opened the quilt a little and held a certain someone in his arms."Xiao Le..."
"I'm not him. You mistook me for someone else. Let go of me, ah. Hey..." Qi Le sobbed quietly and didn't dare to struggle too hard so he could only move slowly. But if he even moved a little, Gu Bai would tighten his grip by a little. He could only resign himself to waiting for him to fall into a deeper sleep, his upper body snuggled in the arms of the man, feet dangling outside. This posture was really tiring. He struggled with what to do for a long time before taking off his shoes and slipping his feet under the sheets.
Gu Bai listened to the sound of slippers falling to the floor, smiled to himself again, hooked his arms on his waist and brought him closer to his body. Then, he turned over, lowered his head and kissed Qi Le on the neck."Xiao Le..."
Qi Le, "=口=!!!"
Fuck! What sort of situation was this?!
Gu Bai's hands slipped down to his lower back and pushed his T-shirt upwards, stroking the naked flesh underneath. They stuck to each other, skin to skin, the feel of the soft skin underneath made his breathing heavy. He leaned towards Qi Le's earlobe and kissed him."Xiao Le, don't leave me."
Their bodies were too close and Qi Le could clearly feel that a hard object prodding him. He went crazy in that instant. Fucking hell! Was this boy having a spring-dream?! He couldn't help recalling the scene in the apartment last time. He only felt his whole body stiffen.
Gu Bai noticed his stiffness, struggled for a moment before he sighed inside. He had wanted to take this opportunity to do him, and then get him to move over in the name of being responsible, but now it seemed that he was too impatient. It would be a disaster if he scared him away. For so many years, he had waited, what was a little more time? He kissed Qi Le's face, turned over to lie down properly and held him to sleep.
Qi Le saw that Gu Bai had finally stopped moving and his stiff body slowly relaxed. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and lay down pitifully. After a long time, he was tempted to move again but was held tightly and stopped immediately. So he continued lying down for a while more and was about to try again, only to hear the phone suddenly ring. He was shocked out of his wits and quickly pulled out the cellphone and wanted hit the reject button. Right then, Gu Bai tightened his arms, causing his finger to slip and hit the answer button instead. Then, his hands shivered and he accidentally hit the speaker button. Ning Xiao's cold voice came from the other end of the line and sounded extremely clear in the quiet bedroom."Why aren't you back yet?"
Qi Le, "=口="
Gu Bai frowned and mumbled, "... What's that noise?"
There was a moment of silence and Ning Xiao's voice grew colder, "Gu Bai?"
Qi Le recovered from his shock, hung up the call and turned off his cellphone. He stared at a certain someone in horror. Seeing that he was still sleeping without any movement, he wiped away his sweat again and lay back down. Fuck! This whole thing was too much for his nerves! He put aside his cellphone and tentatively called out, "Gu Bai?"
Gu Bai remained silent. Qi Le blinked and reached out his hand under Gu Bai's pillow, groped around a little bit, and finally felt a key. He pinched one of them with his fingers, slowly pulled it out, and soon held the whole bunch in his hand. He was just about to rejoice when Gu Bai's cellphone rang. He went mad at that moment. He didn't need to guess to know that it was Ning Xiao. He quickly felt around for Gu Bai's cellphone, hung up and turned it off.
"... Mmm?" As usual, Gu Bai made another sound and felt around, pretending to look for something but "accidentally" touching something cold. He held back a smile, picked up and threw the bunch of keys away from the bed to God knows which corner of the room.
Qi Le, "=口="
Gu Bai firmly held onto someone, trapping Qi Le under his leg and was satisfied at once.
My God, why on earth is this happening ahhhhh... Qi Le lay in his arms and wanted to cry but had no tears. Damn it! Why did stealing a key seem harder than embarking on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures?!
Gu Bai knew that with this man's temper, he would definitely struggle more than once, so he patiently accompanied him. It took him until the early hours of the morning before the person in his arms was finally motionless. He moved closer and felt that Qi Le's breathing was calm and steady, and his body was no longer stiff. He knew that Qi Le had fallen asleep, smiling as he kissed the latter's face. Only then did he sleep in peace.
When Qi Le woke up, it was already bright out. He blanked out for a moment and soon thought of last night. He sat up straight, looked around and found that Gu Bai had disappeared. He hesitated for a bit, slowly got off the bed, opened the door and went outside.
Gu Bai placed breakfast to the table and swept a cold gaze over him."Why didn't you leave yesterday?"
Do you think Laozi was willing to stay?! Qi Le took a deep breath and then explained that he was ready to leave, but was pulled to bed.
Gu Bai was silent for a moment before he asked, "Really?"
Shame on you! You took advantage of me and actually forgot all about it... Qi Le remained expressionless on the surface."Mmm."
"I'm sorry. Go wash up and have breakfast."
Qi Le silently walked off to the bathroom. Gu Bai's cooking was really yummy. He told himself that this porridge could just barely soothe his injured heart.
"Where are you going later?"
"Home. I'm moving out."
Gu Bai nodded, "Then let me help you to make up for yesterday."
Qi Le muttered "Mmm" and was suddenly reminded of Ning Xiao's call last night, thinking to himself that if he happened to bump into him at home, he could ask what the hell last night was about.
