Gu Qiange led the youth into the house, to slightly familiarize him with this home. Since he was reluctant in letting him walk on his own, so, he carried the other on his back like a doll, and introduced him to all parts of the estate: “This is the kitchen, where we can wash the ingredients and cook together; this is the study room, while I work here, you can read or play games on the desk or the bay window at the side; this is the home theater, where we can watch your favorite movies together; there’s also a yard, with the backyard being wider than the front yard. So, there won’t be any problem whether you want to grow flowers, plants or even raise pets……”
Recalling that big yellow dog they had in the w.a.n.g’s mansion in the ancient world, Shen Tong couldn’t help but quietly inquire: “Can I have a puppy?”
After having spoken for such a long time and finally getting this question in response, Gu Qiange swiftly answered in a gentle tone: “Of course you can. We can go to a pet shop later, where you can pick the one you like to buy and bring home, okay?”
Shen Tong became somewhat uncomfortable because of Gu Qiange’s overly indulging tone, that he slightly frowned. Gu Qiange, who would feel nervous even when seeing him stay still for a moment, not to mention frown, immediately reached out and gently examined the temperature on his forehead, “What’s the matter? Is there still any uncomfortable feeling anywhere?”
Saying so, he also placed his forehead against the other’s forehead, then sighed in relief upon seeing as there wasn’t any fever. He then went on to ask: “If you’re feeling tired, do you want me to bring you upstairs for you to be able to rest for a while?”
Such excessive meticulous care made Shen Tong uncomfortable, but there would also be an inevitable feeling of inexplicable warmth. In fact, Gu Qiange’s current gaze and smile when he lowered his head to look at him was very, very warm, like the gentle and soft spring breeze outside.
Shen Tong couldn’t help but lean his head on Gu Qiange’s shoulder. Gu Qiange immediately drew the other in his embrace, then very lovingly kissed him on his naturally slightly puckered lips.
But the normally cheeky and hooligan, great top student, was a little nervous when kissing this time.
Because the blood scabs on the youth’s lips had just peeled off, during those two days of his hospitalization. Gu Qiange completely didn’t dare to do anything impulsive, for fear of evoking his psychological shadow, and could only go so far as to gently place his lips against the other’s forehead. Just as he was feeling faintly regretful, he unexpectedly saw Shen Tong tilt his head up, then somewhat cautiously lean forward, and reciprocated with a kiss on his lips as well. His action was like a timid and cautious but eager to please little kitten.
Gu Qiange was taken aback, as his breath immediately became somewhat heavy. He had to exert quite a lot of self-discipline to avoid from pushing the youth down and giving him a deep kiss. Shen Tong could feel the swift changes in Gu Qiange’s body, but was unable to move as he was caged in Gu Qiange’s arms, and could only listen to him slowly calm down through taking constant deep breaths.
Spring was naturally the season full of hope, and was the most beautiful season. Shen Tong also felt that everything was fine and dandy with Gu Qiange beside him, except for the slight worry over Kong Baiji’s condition. Therefore, he would ask the white floccule time and time again on whether the bug, in his big brother, had been fixed. The white floccule, on the other hand, felt a headache over this urging, and finally spoke up in this day, saying that the bug had already been successfully removed.
This day just happens to be the day when Kong Baiji was set to go abroad for a business trip, and would be gone for at least a year. Thus, Shen Tong hurriedly rushed to the airport to see him off, and finally arrived at the place before Kong Baiji had boarded the plane. He even brought along the other’s favorite meat jerky and plum candy.
Shen Tong had mistakenly thought that Kong Baiji had returned to normal after the bug was removed. So, he treated the other the same way as before. What’s more, Shen Tong was never the type to hold a grudge against a family member. So, he just earnestly left him with a lot of reminders: “Big brother, pay attention to your health abroad, take good care of yourself, don’t forget to call home……”
Not expecting Shen Tong to show up, Kong Baiji fixedly looked at him with a bit of reluctance in his dark eyes. Innumerable emotions flashed deep in his eyes, but it finally settled into an unreadable smile. Then, also using the same att.i.tude as before, he softly said to Shen Tong: “.…..Um. Be good Tong Tong. You also have to take care of yourself, so as not to let big brother worry.”
His tall and straight back disappeared into the departure gate little by little. He then directly headed to a place out of Shen Tong’s sight before pressing his painful chest.
Shen Tong had a make up lesson with a cla.s.smate before, and had thus, came over in a taxi with that cla.s.smate. The other person is Shen Tong’s neighbor ever since childhood, and naturally knows of Kong Baiji as well. The other sighed on the way back: “I didn’t expect your big brother to actually be fond of sweets as well.”
Shen Tong was somewhat baffled, “Why? Can’t my big brother like eating sweets?”
“Of course he can’t!” Although Fei Yun is a girl, but her carefree nature is like the boys. Thus, she immediately went into grumbling mode: “You might not know, but the person I’m most afraid of even now is your big brother. Aside from being gentle with you, he’s incredibly cruel to others. His gaze becomes immensely terrifying whenever I place my arm over your shoulder for even a few seconds. For such a cool character to actually be fond of sweets like a little girl, is simply unimaginable!”
“What the book says is really true,” Student Fei couldn’t help but speak in an well versed manner after having finished grumbling over it, “The book I’ve read before says, behavior towards others should not be determined according to gender, because quite a lot of things cannot be distinguished between male and female, whether it be from suffering hardships or even eating sweets; whether it be happiness or sadness.”
For some unknown reason, this citation made Shen Tong feel somewhat perturbed. What he didn’t even know was that, Kong Baiji never had a bug, as claimed by the white floccule. Even if there was, the white floccule wouldn’t be even capable of removing it.
— It was nothing more than a s...o...b..ll that the Demon Emperor used to make the little phoenix happy back then, which would not be melted by phoenix fire. It only gained a spirituality through the Demon Emperor’s tears of blood. So how the heck could it get rid off the dignified King of the Netherworld.
Aware that Shen Tong had gone to see Kong Baiji off, Gu Qiange didn’t say anything, but still felt a but jealous deep inside. He held onto Shen Tong’s hand the whole night without letting go, while tightly wrapping Shen Tong’s shoulder with his other hand, and had even forcibly pressed the other’s head into the crook of his neck.
Although this position was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a strong taste of possessiveness, but it also revealed Gu Qiange’s inner anxiety. So, Shen Tong allowed him to hold himself without taking any action.
They fell asleep in bed whilst holding hands, enveloped in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. So warm, that Shen Tong couldn’t help but start to kick the blanket away. So long as he feels hot, he would kick the blanket away in his sleep. Having already turned into an old mother, the great top student, who was worried of him catching a cold, promptly got up to cover him with a blanket once more even during the night, then placed a kiss between his eyebrows before falling back to sleep.
But this time around, Shen Tong not only kicked the blanket, but had also kicked the water cup on the bedside bench to the floor.
The unexpected sound of something shattering, woke the two people up. Gu Qiange turned on the bedside light, then softly coaxed Shen Tong to lie back down and sleep, while mindfully shielding the other’s eyes, for fear that his eyes would be uncomfortable due to the sudden brightness.
After having cleaned the shards, Gu Qiange turned the lights off once more and went back to bed, but was unable to fall back to sleep for that moment. Shen Tong had yet to sleep as well, so he started chatting with Gu Qiange. Gu Qiange drew his sweetheart into his arms, then suddenly said: “Tong Tong, I guess we might be lovers in our previous lives. Because the first time I laid eyes on you in my mobile phone, I already liked you so much.”
Thinking of Xi Yan, Pei Lie and every other reincarnation of Han Ying, couldn’t help but make Shen Tong quirk his lips in the dark, then tilt his chin up and say with a little bit of arrogance: “You guessed it. You love me very much in every previous life, as it is with this life. So, you mustn’t be bad to me.”
The great top student hurriedly nodded to show his loyalty, before asking another question: “But what if I accidentally did something sorry to you?”
Shen Tong somewhat childishly puffed his cheeks like a child: “Humph. Then I will forget about you in the next life and forever ignore you!”
“I forbid you from ignoring me!” Having heard this, the great top student unexpectedly started to quibble in an extremely childish manner, and seriously stated, “Even if you forget about me, I will still haunt you forever!”
The whispers in the night, were full of lingering affection. The two of them gradually fell asleep once more in the midst of their talks, leaving only the moon outside the window to sprinkle it’s silvery light upon them.
Similar to the ancient time’s world, Shen Tong only soared once more after after having stayed fifty years together with Gu Qiange. Then successfully reached the final rank of Demon G.o.d stage. According to the words of the white floccule, after successfully becoming a Demon G.o.d, he can then step into the void, and return to his real original world.
Shen Tong was naturally curious and expectant about his real world, but also had a sense of unspeakable unease. He lost consciousness in the thunder. After regaining his consciousness, he unexpectedly discovered that he was completely unable to locate his hands and feet, just like the time when he became a little quilt.
He couldn’t help but try to move about. After an attempt to stand, he then took an arduous step forward. Shortly after that, a panicked scream suddenly sounded: “Heavens! This egg can actually stand up and walk by itself!!”
