Gu Wancheng came in, saw him still lying in bed, and went straight over to shake him awake without mercy.
Bo Yizhou opened his eyes, not having expected him to wake him so directly.
"What is it?"
"What time are you going to the office?"
"After you leave."
"All right. Are you hungry? I'll bring you something to eat."
Something flickered in Bo Yizhou's eyes, and he lowered his gaze. "I am." Even if he hadn't been hungry, he was now.
Gu Wancheng had no idea and thought he really was hungry.
"It's probably not ready yet. I'll bring you some in a bit."
Bo Yizhou nodded, got up, and went into the bathroom to wash up. After he got out of bed, Gu Wancheng lay back down, with no intention of going out to face the cameras.
Listening to the water running in the bathroom, his thoughts drifted. I wonder when we can... Bo Yizhou has such a great body. He should be really good at that too, right?
As he thought about it, his face began to burn again, and he pulled the covers over his head to hide.
After a while, the water stopped. Gu Wancheng lowered the covers and stole a look. At that sight, the heat that had just faded rose again, and even his body began to burn.
After washing up, Bo Yizhou came out and openly took off his pajamas, picking up the clothes he had prepared earlier and putting them on one piece at a time. Hearing the sound Gu Wancheng made, he glanced over, only to see a fluffy head retreat beneath the covers.
Bo Yizhou's lips curved. He had deliberately changed in front of Gu Wancheng, and it seemed to have worked well.
Once dressed, he walked over to pull the covers down so Gu Wancheng wouldn't feel uncomfortable under them. He gave them a gentle tug, but they didn't budge.
Looking at the fair hands gripping the edge of the covers tightly, he chuckled and tugged again.
Gu Wancheng was speechless. Could he stop being so annoying?
"All right, I'm dressed."
"I wasn't looking at you." Gu Wancheng's voice was muffled, his tone a little annoyed.
"I didn't say you were. Isn't it uncomfortable under there?" This time, he pulled the covers down with ease.
The air suddenly went still. Bo Yizhou looked at him, his gaze darkening and his breathing growing heavy.
Being under the covers had left Gu Wancheng's hair a mess, the corners of his eyes red and his eyes moist. Biting his lower lip lightly, he glared at Bo Yizhou, looking as though he had been thoroughly bullied.
Meeting Bo Yizhou's eyes and seeing the storm brewing in those deep depths, his heart gave a sudden leap, and he looked away.
Bo Yizhou caught his chin, forcing Gu Wancheng to look into his eyes.
Gu Wancheng's voice trembled. "Wh-what are you doing?"
Bo Yizhou leaned down until their noses almost touched. Their breaths mingled, their heartbeats overlapped, and the intimate atmosphere made their hearts flutter.
His hoarse voice sounded. "Close your eyes."
Gu Wancheng instinctively obeyed. Once he realized what he had done, he couldn't help wondering what Bo Yizhou intended to do, an inexplicable anticipation stirring inside him.
Just as he couldn't resist opening his eyes, a gentle kiss landed on his forehead.
"A good morning kiss."
Gu Wancheng's eyes widened. That's it? A good morning kiss? What was I even expecting? Indignant, he wrapped his arms around Bo Yizhou's neck and bit straight at his lips.
Bo Yizhou looked at him in surprise, moving a hand to the back of his head and taking control. He had intended to boil the frog slowly, but the frog had chosen to cook itself. Nothing could have been better.
Compared with Gu Wancheng's haphazard nibbling, Bo Yizhou was clearly gifted. Once the initial awkwardness passed, he gained the upper hand, his formidable lung capacity nearly leaving Gu Wancheng unable to breathe.
After they parted, Gu Wancheng desperately gulped down air. He had almost been kissed to death. How embarrassing.
Tears swam in his eyes, and his lips were red. One look was enough to tell they had been ravaged.
Bo Yizhou looked unchanged, except for his uneven breathing, which gave him away. Keeping a straight face, he asked, "Hungry?"
Fire blazed in Gu Wancheng's eyes as he stared at the culprit. "Yes, I'm starving! This is all your fault. How am I supposed to go out?"
He didn't need to think about it. The stinging in his lips told him he couldn't face anyone.
"I'll go."
"You're not allowed to go. Stay right here." With that, he threw back the covers and headed for the door.
Bo Yizhou, who had just risen, obediently sat back down and watched him leave.
The moment he stepped outside, Gu Wancheng regretted it. Why hadn't he waited a little longer? But he was already out, and a true hero never turned back. Brimming with tragic resolve, he went downstairs.
Downstairs, Xiaoyu had been chatting with the others on and off. Seeing him come down, she stood to greet him.
"Xiaoyu, could you check whether breakfast is ready? Sorry for the trouble."
"Of course, Mr. Gu," Xiaoyu replied with a smile.
"Sorry for the wait. We can eat in a moment."
"We're not in any hurry. Sorry for the trouble," the cameraman said.
The two thoroughly straight men couldn't see any change in Gu Wancheng, but the viewers were all watching the livestream through microscopes, declaring that they had spotted something everyone had missed.
[Why are my wife's lips swollen after being gone for just a little while?]
[It's fine. I can go blind for my wife for a bit.]
[Help, my wife looks so sexy. sexy.jpg]
[I really want to hear him pant. lecherous_grin.jpg]
[Anti-porn squad here. Hands on your head and squat, commenter above.]
Xiaoyu came over and said, "Mr. Gu, breakfast is ready."
Gu Wancheng nodded. "I'll go get Chaochao. Take our guests over first." He worried that Chaochao would be cranky if someone else woke him.
Xiaoyu agreed and took Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhang to the dining table first.
[This... tears of envy are flowing out of my mouth.]
[I want some so badly. Everything at my wife's house looks delicious. sobbing.jpg]
[Is food all you people care about?]
[Look at this lavish breakfast. I never imagined breakfast could have so many dishes.]
[Is it too late to become a servant at their house?]
[Probably too late. sideways_grin.jpg]
[Step away from that breakfast and let me at it!!]
[How many people are there, eating this much? They don't appreciate food at all.]
[Where did this dog come from?]
Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhang stared blankly at the huge tableful of breakfast before them, their eyes nearly popping out. In perfect sync, they turned to Xiaoyu.
"This... Mr. Gu's family really has a lavish breakfast."
Xiaoyu covered her mouth and giggled. "There isn't usually this much."
Only then did the two men and the viewers breathe sighs of relief. That was more like it. How could they eat so much?
"But you're guests, and we didn't know what you'd like, so we prepared a few extra dishes."
A few extra dishes? Are you sure you don't mean a dozen or more?
Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhang swallowed and exchanged looks.
"It only looks like a lot. Go ahead and sit."
Only then did the two find seats in a corner.
"Little sleepy pig, time to get up."
Gu Wancheng gently pinched Chaochao's nose.
With his nose pinched and breathing difficult, Chaochao instinctively opened his mouth and blearily opened his eyes. Gu Wancheng's figure was blurry before him. He blinked, and it came into focus.
Gu Wancheng had let go as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Daddy." His voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of grievance.
"Time to get up. Didn't you really want to be on TV? Are you planning to let everyone watch you sleep?"
Chaochao jolted awake, quickly getting up and running to the bathroom.
"Be careful."
Gu Wancheng said this and stayed seated on the bed.
"I'm ready. Let's hurry out." After washing up, Chaochao came over and took his hand, ready to leave.
Gu Wancheng pulled him back and, under his puzzled gaze, pointed at his clothes.
"Aren't you going to change?"
Chaochao looked down. He was still wearing pajamas. With an embarrassed chuckle, he went to change and told Gu Wancheng to close his eyes.
"All done. Any more problems?"
"No. Let's go."
