Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 117 The Scorching Sun (16 pages)

Gu Yao looked at the earlobe, which was even more beautiful in the sunlight than the pomegranate flowers blooming in the greenhouse, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, even rubbing it. His cool fingertips trembled slightly.

Seeing Gu Xi sitting on the suspended rattan chair with nowhere to hide, she could only tightly clutch the hem of her clothes.

The knuckles of those slender, fair fingers were slightly white, revealing the unease in their owner's heart.

The dangling rattan chair had nowhere to rest, and the boy on it looked rather pitiful.

Gu Yao's mischievous side was completely aroused.

The person who had been forced into a corner did not stop Gu Yao's actions. Instead, he turned his head away a little more, revealing his lustrous earlobe more clearly to Gu Yao.

It glowed with a rosy light in the sunlight.

Gu Yao smiled, his fingertips lingering on his earlobe as if he were playing with some kind of work of art.

"Gu Xi, are you shy?"

Having just turned the tide, Gu Xi was now completely overwhelmed by the young man in front of her.

Hearing the boy's disrespectful address, he turned and glared at the boy who was causing trouble for him.

I wonder where he learned these tricks at such a young age.

When Gu Yao caught Gu Xi's gaze, his laughter became even more unrestrained.

He leaned forward, hugged Gu Xi tightly, and gently rested his head against Gu Xi's neck.

A light, shallow breath hit the side of her neck, sending a shiver down her spine.

Gu Xi's body was so stiff that she didn't dare to move an inch. She managed to move her neck a little bit, but Gu Yao pulled her back.

Gu Xi completely turned into a statue.

Gu Yao sensed Gu Xi's stiffness and couldn't help but chuckle. He nuzzled his head against Gu Xi's neck, like a cat seeking its owner's pats.

Gu Xi felt a little itchy from Gu Yao's rubbing, and her breathing, which had calmed down, became erratic again, and she also felt some strange sensations in her body.

Feeling the abnormality in his body, Gu Xi's face turned even redder. Gu Yao was clinging to him, and if he got any closer, he would have noticed that something was wrong with him. He could only move his legs subtly.

Gu Yao, however, released Gu Xi first.

As the warmth in her body dissipated, Gu Xi felt a sense of loss.

He was puzzled, wondering why the boy had suddenly gotten up.

He reached out and grabbed the boy's wrist, pulling him into his arms.

The boy's slender frame looked rather frail in my arms, as if a gust of wind would blow him away.

Gu Xi felt a pang of tenderness in her heart, but she was also a little tongue-tied.

He didn't know where the boy's unease and sadness came from, but he just wanted to give him some strength.

Gu Yao was somewhat taken aback when he was pulled into another person's arms, and his body stiffened involuntarily.

However, the familiar aura surrounding him made Gu Yao feel extremely at ease.

Perhaps the sunshine was too warm, making people want to stay longer.

He reached out and hugged Gu Xi back, savoring this moment of tenderness.

He looked up at the boy.

Backlit, the sunlight shone on the boy's face, making it impossible for Gu Xi to see Gu Yao's expression.

All that could be heard was the boy's voice, "Gu Xi, after today, you will be leaving."

The boy's voice was choked with sobs and filled with unspeakable sorrow.

Gu Xi had no idea the boy would be so certain.

But upon hearing the boy's sad voice, he still stood up, looking at the boy with gentle yet firm eyes.

"No, I will always be by A-Yao's side."

Gu Yao felt a lump in his throat upon hearing this and turned to look outside.

You're a liar, you'll definitely leave.

Outside the glass greenhouse, Gu's mother's figure was already in sight.

He knew that Gu Xi was about to leave.

His eyes couldn't help but reveal sadness.

Looking at Gu Yao's profile, Gu Xi felt that the sunlight shining on the boy did not bring him any warmth.

He was filled with loneliness.

He reached out to comfort the boy, but didn't know what to say.

As Gu Yao watched his mother approach, he lowered his eyes and spoke in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"coming soon."

Gu Xi felt that Gu Yao's current state was not right.

To be precise, Gu Yao's condition started to be very strange from the day he turned nineteen.

"Don't be afraid, A-Yao. I will always stay by A-Yao's side."

The voice is gentle.

It's so captivating that you can't help but be enchanted.

But fairy tales are just fairy tales.

It will never become a reality.

Just like Cinderella's magic wears off at midnight.

Gu Xi will still leave.

Gu's mother stood in front of the glass greenhouse for a long time, watching the two boys' figures intertwined as the vines swayed, but she still gave them some time.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door of the glass conservatory.

The sound of knuckles striking the glass was somewhat muffled, but it startled Gu Xi and Gu Yao, who were embracing.

The clock will still strike midnight.

Magic will eventually wear off, and dreams must end.

Gu Yao concealed the sadness in his eyes, reached out and took Gu Xi's hand, and Gu Xi looked at him in astonishment.

He saw that Gu Yao was holding his hand, so he held Gu Yao's hand back.

"Isn't Ayao afraid?"

Gu Yao turned his head and met Gu Xi's gentle gaze, shook his head, and remained silent.

He simply tightened his grip on Gu Xi's hand a little more.

Gu Xi squeezed Gu Yao's hand and smiled, "Then let's go."

If A Yao isn't afraid, then what does he have to be afraid of?

As the two walked out side by side, Gu's mother looked at their tightly clasped hands and fell silent.

She looked at the two of them, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

In the end, he could only sigh and wave to Gu Xi.

"Xiao Xi, come with me, alone."

Seeing her mother's serious expression, Gu Xi knew that something was wrong.

Considering Gu Yao's unusual behavior today, he must have sensed something.

Or perhaps, they know something.

His mother's seriousness made him a little nervous, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Gu Yao's hand.

This time, Gu Yao didn't hold onto Gu Xi anymore; instead, he took the initiative to let go of Gu Xi's hand.

"You should go with your mother."

Gu Xi was taken aback and turned to look at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao withdrew his hand, and as the warmth from his palm dissipated, Gu Xi felt a chill in her heart.

But he still left with Gu's mother, knowing that what she wanted to tell him must be something important.

Gu Yao stood in front of the glass greenhouse, watching the two figures from behind, then lowered his head again.

Inside the coat pocket, neatly arranged, was the gift that Gu Yao still hadn't given away.

Gu Xi turned to look at the boy, feeling somewhat reluctant to part.

The boy kept his head down, not looking at him, the wisps of hair on his forehead obscuring all the emotions in his eyes.

A slightly thin boy stood alone in the sunlight and in the breeze, surrounded by blooming flowers.

The vibrant display of flowers and lively celebrations couldn't warm the loneliness that clung to him.
