Chapter 35.3

When Gu Yanshu woke up the next day, he felt a headache, and his limbs were a bit sore.

He frowned slightly and moved his body, then froze.

Something was wrong.

The thing he was lying on was hard, and obviously not a bed.

And it even had two dog paws.

These two dog paws were still on his waist.

Most importantly…

Hard.

He drank the soup himself.

And then nothing.

So, there was wine in the soup and he drank it till he got drunk.

As for his drunk behaviour…

Gu Yanshu decided to skip this topic.

He pulled the blanket back. “Then why did… Why did you… Why…”

He put on a cold face for a long time, but he couldn’t come up with a reason. Instead, his ears were red, so red that they looked like they were about to bleed.

Shen Jue lowered his voice and chuckled. “Are you asking why I would have a reaction in front of a man?”

Swoosh!

Gu Yanshu certainly knew why. 

Seeing this, Shen Jue lowered his voice even more and said slowly, “Then why do you have a reaction?”

“…”

‘I don’t have a reaction.’

Gu Yanshu wanted to deny it.

But Gu Xiaoshu didn’t allow it.

So, with a straight face, he said in a scientific tone, “Men. In the morning. It’s normal.”

The more serious his tone was, the redder his ears became.

Shen Jue chuckled. “That’s right. We’re all young and energetic.”

What’s right?!

If it weren’t for the fact that he was worried about polluting the environment, Gu Yanshu would have jumped down from the mountain, but he pretended to be calm. “Then let’s calm down first.”

“Alright, let’s both calm down.” 

So, on a beautiful morning, the two men each sat at a corner of the bed and covered themselves with blankets, as they began to calm down.

Gu Yanshu felt that he had never experienced such an awkward moment in his life.

He started to recall what happened last night frantically, but he found nothing. However, when he saw a scab on the corner of Shen Jue’s lips, he frowned. “What happened to your mouth?”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the director’s voice sounded. “Teacher Shen, Xiao Shu, get up quickly. If we don’t go down the mountain now, the road will be blocked.”

“Alright.” Shen Jue got up lazily and answered Gu Yanshu’s question casually. “Would you believe me if I said you were the one who bit me?”

“Get lost.”

Shen Jue chuckled. “Alright, I bit myself. Get up quickly after calming down.”

Gu Yanshu got up from the bed slowly and quickly cleaned the room. He folded the blanket and tidied the bed before leaving.

When he left the room, he happened to see Auntie Sun and Uncle Wu coming out of the kitchen. When they saw him, they asked, “Ah, Xiao Gu, why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold and have a fever last night?”

Xiao Gu’s face wasn’t burning up because he had a fever. Rather, he was embarrassed.

Since Gu Yanshu was so shy, Shen Jue covered for him. “The stove is heating up the house, but as someone from the North, he’s not used to this, so his face is red from the smoke and heat.”

“Oh, oh. It’s good that you didn’t catch a cold.” Then, they frowned again. “Xiao Shen, what’s wrong with your mouth?”

Shen Jue’s expression didn’t change as he explained himself. “I woke up in the middle of the night to drink water and accidentally cut my lip.”

“…”

Auntie Sun and Uncle Wu used their sixty years of life experience to imagine the type of posture it took for someone to end up with a cut lip from drinking water. 

Fortunately, the production team, who was at the side, was in a hurry to leave. They urged them, “We have to hurry. There’s heavy snow today. If we don’t go down the mountain early, we won’t be able to make it back today. Uncle Wu, Auntie Sun, come, take a photo with us. We’ll post it on Weibo.”

“Alright.”

Uncle Wu and Auntie Sun quickly tidied their clothes and hair and sat on the bench in the middle of the courtyard. Gu Yanshu and Shen Jue stood side by side behind them.
