Who Dared Bottomify Gu Xiao? Were They Insane!

"Surely A-Xiao didn't bite his own lip open during a nightmare."

Feng Ji spoke jokingly, but his eyes were fixed on Fu Huai.

Fu Huai gave Feng Ji a polite smile, with no intention of saying a single word.

To Feng Ji, that expression was nothing short of... provocation!

"A mad dog bit me. It's nothing serious," Gu Xiao said emotionlessly, touching his lip. "I already got a tetanus shot last night."

Feng Ji felt that the "mad dog" A-Xiao referred to might not be the one he had in mind.

He looked at Fu Huai, even more displeased.

If it was a mad dog, it probably wasn't Fu Huai. This man was clearly a damned fox.

He would rather Fu Huai had bitten him.

"A-Xiao, did Gu Yun bite you?" Ji Chuan was deeply displeased. "You didn't cut his tongue out?"

Feng Ji stared at Gu Xiao in shock. Why did even that brat Gu Yun dare defy his superior!

What about him, then?

"There was no need." Gu Xiao's lips curved as he looked at Ji Chuan. "I didn't chop your hand off either, did I?"

Before Ji Chuan could speak, Feng Ji protested unhappily, "A-Xiao, how could something like Gu Yun possibly compare to A-Chuan!"

He seemed to be speaking up for him, but Feng Ji was actually trying to deepen A-Xiao's dislike of him, wasn't he? Ji Chuan smiled. "A-Xiao doesn't mind, so why are you so angry? Besides, Gu Yun's surname is 'Gu' now. He's hardly 'something like that.'"

At that, Feng Ji merely smiled sweetly, revealing a pointed canine. "You seem pretty interested in Gu Yun, A-Chuan. That's not out of the question. Once you've hooked He Shuyu and gotten tired of playing with him, you can play with Gu Yun too."

"Don't discuss this nonsense in front of A-Xiao." Fu Huai appeared impartial, but his scales tipped toward Feng Ji. "A-Xiao, it's time for breakfast. Or would you like me to keep serving you?"

Gu Xiao glanced at Fu Huai and swung his leg. "Young Master Fu, could you please give me back my shoes first?"

"I'll get them," Ji Chuan said in a low voice. "It wouldn't be right to keep making A-Huai do all the work."

With that, he headed straight for the third floor.

Beside the master bedroom was a large walk-in closet nearly as spacious as the bedroom itself.

A dazzling array of clothes, shoes, accessories, and other items filled it to the brim.

Ji Chuan picked up a pair of leather shoes at random, but headed toward the master bedroom.

A faint, almost negligible scent of irises still lingered in the air.

Ji Chuan took a deep breath, and even his restless spiritual power settled for a moment.

Suddenly, Ji Chuan's expression changed.

He caught another faint fragrance in the air: magnolias...

That scent lingered in wispy threads. Had he not been so sensitive to A-Xiao's pheromones, he probably wouldn't have noticed the trace of magnolia mingled with them.

Fu Huai had been here last night too!

Did A-Xiao know?

"What took you so long?" Fu Huai asked gently. "Feng Ji was about to go upstairs to rescue you."

As he spoke, Fu Huai lowered his gaze and spotted the shoes in Ji Chuan's hand. He chuckled. "Why that pair? Those seem to be... one of the gifts the Lu Family sent over in that batch."

Fu Huai added an explanation. "Lu Keyan's Lu Family."

Hearing that name at a time like this was bad luck.

Ji Chuan looked thoroughly displeased. "I'll get another pair."

"Why bother?" Gu Xiao was annoyed. "Ji Chuan, if you're jealous, I'll send that honors student another pair of shoes on your behalf. Will that do? Now, kindly give me the shoes."

The three of them stood while Gu Xiao sat.

Yet his bearing remained lofty and superior.

Were they looking down on Gu Xiao? No, in truth, Gu Xiao was looking down on them.

"A-Xiao, don't be angry."

Ji Chuan sat opposite Gu Xiao, took hold of his lower leg, and rested his foot on his own thigh.

"I just think these inferior goods aren't worthy of you. Still, trying them once as disposable consumables isn't out of the question."

The moment Ji Chuan finished speaking, the shoes were securely on Gu Xiao's feet.

"You certainly have high standards." Gu Xiao lowered his leg from Ji Chuan's thigh and said coolly, "These shoes weren't cheap. What, are you planning to give me a pair made of human skin?"

Ji Chuan frowned. "Human skin isn't clean, but A-Xiao, if you want..."

"Don't." Gu Xiao stood, speechless. "I'm not a pervert."

Ji Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Mm. I'll give you the best from now on."

"The best?" Gu Xiao rolled his eyes. "You won't even give me a birthday present. What could you possibly give me?"

Those words plunged Ji Chuan into silence again.

"Let's have breakfast first." Gu Xiao specifically instructed Ji Chuan, "Your hands touched my feet and shoes. Remember to wash and disinfect them."

Ji Chuan was helpless. "A-Xiao, those are your things..."

"Just get your hands clean, or you're not allowed at the table."

Fine.

A-Xiao's temper came and went quickly. From the look of him now, he seemed to have stopped being angry.

The corners of Ji Chuan's mouth lifted. He was in a fairly good mood.

But when he thought of the scent in A-Xiao's bedroom, his lips turned down again.

It wasn't that he felt aggrieved. It was simply that Fu Huai's underhanded ways were contemptible.

Those two days of turmoil finally ended. After they returned to school, Feng Ji breathed a sigh of relief. "A-Xiao, I mean it. From now on, wherever you go, you have to have someone with you."

"Mm, I think so too," Fu Huai said seriously. "Lin An is pretty useful. If you don't want to stay with us all the time, you can ask Lin An."

Feng Ji was displeased. "What do you mean, A-Xiao doesn't want to be with us? We're one."

"Who's one with you?" Gu Xiao interrupted their bickering. "Can't you learn from Ji Chuan and be a little quieter?"

Fu Huai: "..."

This was the first time A-Xiao had ever scolded him for not being quiet.

Feng Ji, who very much disliked silence, had no choice but to shut up.

"A-Xiao," Ji Chuan said wistfully, "you make me seem very special."

Gu Xiao replied instantly, "Then you're overthinking it."
