Under such circumstances, Gu Chong could not help but nod in agreement.
Gu Huai was very happy, his face overflowing with joy. Gu Chong watched, seeing him emerge from his childhood memories, and smiled faintly.
"Brother, don't hide from me anymore." Gu Huai suddenly turned around and hugged Gu Chong.
Gu Chong instinctively wanted to push him away.
Sensing his intention, Gu Huai said dejectedly, "Can't I even be close to my brother now? You used to let me hug you. "
Hearing the faint reproach in Gu Huai's tone, Gu Chong could not help but reflect on himself. Had he overreacted? Gu Huai had been clingy since he was young, would his alienation have a bad influence on the child?
Moreover, Gu Huai was just hugging him, there was nothing wrong with him. He was his only family, hugging him would not hurt him.
Feeling Gu Chong's loosening, Gu Huai's lips curled up.
Gu Huai hugged Gu Huai. Gu Chong could not see his expression, but he felt that this hug was very warm. Gu Huai did not have a family, and neither did he. Gu Huai was greedy for his warmth, and he also needed Gu Huai to entrust his feelings. He and Gu Huai were like two entwined vines, inseparable.
"Alright, you've hugged for long enough. Let go." After some time, Gu Chong spoke.
Gu Huai obediently let go. "Brother, let me show you my sword."
The training field was fully equipped. Gu Huai stood up, took the long sword, and walked to the middle of the field.
Gu Chong sat below, looking at the tall man.
As they rose and fell, they both carried an extraordinary aura.
It was as if he saw a young boy growing up bit by bit with the sword.
This was the child he raised, and also his only family. Gu Huai's excellence made Gu Chong proud.
After a day at the General's Residence, their relationship was no longer stiff. Gu Chong no longer avoided Gu Huai intentionally or unintentionally. Everything seemed to have returned to the time when Gu Huai had not expressed his feelings.
However, both of them knew that some things had quietly changed.
The two spent the New Year together. When Gu Huai was not busy, he would go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to wait for Gu Chong to finish his duty as usual. Then they would go home together. On the days off, Gu Huai would help Gu Chong take care of the herbs at home. The courtyard where they lived had a special place to grow herbs. Before Gu Huai became an official, he took care of a lot of things.
After Gu Huai became an official, in order to not tire his brother out, he sent a few meticulous and reliable servants to take care of the medicinal fields.
"Brother, you just need to focus on your medical studies. Leave these menial tasks to the servants." These were Gu Huai's words at that time.
With the arrival of spring, the planted medicinal plants sprouted. As the weather warmed up, they gradually grew.
Early in the morning, Gu Chong waited for a long time, but Gu Huai, who had agreed to go out with him, did not appear. He went to the courtyard to look for him.
"Xiao Huai, you …" Gu Chong suddenly paused when he saw the person in the courtyard.
By the well, Gu Huai was bare-chested and pouring water on himself.
The young man's skin texture was very beautiful. The water droplets meandered down his muscles. It was a lively scene.
Caught off guard, Gu Chong quickly averted his gaze, but the image still formed in his mind.
It turned out that in a place he did not notice, Xiao Huai had grown into a real man.
At this moment, Gu Chong clearly realized that the brother he spent time with was no longer the weak youth who needed his protection, but an adult who could shelter him from the wind and rain.
"Brother, why are you here? Did I keep you waiting for too long? "Gu Huai broke the silence.
"You are …"
"I just sweated from practicing martial arts. I wanted to wash up before going to find you." Seeing the redness spreading from Gu Chong's neck, Gu Huai touched the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue. "Brother, wait for me for a while."
Accompanying Gu Huai's voice was the sound of water splashing and the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other.
Gu Chong stood where he was, not knowing whether to leave or not. He did not know where to look.
"I'll wait for you outside."
"Brother, don't go. I'll be done soon."
After waiting for a while, the sound of footsteps approached. Gu Huai walked to Gu Chong's side. "Brother, I'm done."
After being blown by the cold wind for a while, the heat on Gu Chong's face subsided. Gu Huai looked at Gu Chong's recovered face and a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.
Gu Chong turned to look at Gu Huai. The man's face did not change. Gu Chong could only suppress the strange feeling in his heart and pretend nothing had happened.
The two went out and got on the carriage, heading straight out of the capital.
A few days ago, Gu Chong heard from his colleagues in the Imperial Academy of Medicine that a rare medicinal herb had appeared on a mountain outside the capital. They were going there for this herb.
The mountain was quiet and secluded. Gu Chong and Gu Huai walked on an unopened path. As they walked, Gu Huai brushed away the branches and leaves blocking the way for Gu Chong.
The sun was rising and they were getting closer to their destination. Gu Chong was sweating. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, "Xiao Huai, do you want to rest?"
"Brother, drink some water." Gu Huai took out a water bottle and handed it to Gu Chong.
Gu Chong took it and drank a few mouthfuls. The two rested for a while and continued walking.
Not long after, they arrived at the place where the herb grew.
Gu Chong saw that a few of the herbs were not in good condition and wanted to bring them back to see if they could be saved. He told Gu Huai and went to dig for the herbs.
"Brother, be careful!"
Gu Chong dug seriously and did not notice that a colorful poisonous snake was getting closer and closer to him. Hearing Gu Huai's voice, he subconsciously turned around and looked at the poisonous snake hanging on the branch.
It was too close.
Gu Chong recognized this type of snake. It was very poisonous. If he was bitten and did not treat it in time, he would most likely lose his life.
Fear overpowered all reactions. He froze in place, afraid that any movement would cause the snake to attack.
As he was thinking about how to avoid the snake's attack, a branch shot straight at him and pierced through the snake's body, nailing it to the tree trunk.
— — It was Gu Huai.
Gu Huai quickly ran to Gu Chong's side and pulled him aside. Only when he was sure that Gu Chong was fine did he let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Huai held Gu Chong tightly in his arms. He raised his hand with difficulty and patted the man's back: "I'm fine. Don't be afraid. I'm fine now."
Gu Huai did not say anything. His heart was still beating wildly. When he found that the snake was too close to Gu Chong, his hands were shaking. He had never been so scared before.
After this incident, it was already late. Gu Chong packed up and went down the mountain with Gu Huai. He knew that Gu Huai was frightened. When he was held, he felt the man's body trembling.
On the way back, Gu Huai held Gu Chong's hand and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't do such a dangerous thing next time. If you need any herbs, let me know. I'll get someone to pick them."
"Okay." Gu Chong touched Gu Huai's head. He was just frightened at the time. Now he was fine. He had brought the snake back. The more poisonous the snake, the better the effect of the medicine.
On the other hand, Gu Huai was still scared.
In fact, before coming this time, Gu Huai had asked others to come. It was Gu Chong who insisted. Gu Huai could not persuade him and had to come along. Gu Chong didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
After returning home, Gu Chong made Gu Huai a calming medicine and watched him take it. "Rest for a while. I'll go outside and clean up."
"I'll go with you." Gu Huai followed behind Gu Chong like a little tail. He was very anxious and did not want Gu Chong to leave his sight.
After this incident, Gu Chong found that Gu Huai was even more clingy to him.
If not for Gu Chong's insistence, Gu Huai would have clung to him even at night.
The moonlight shone on the ground. Gu Chong heard the sound of water. He followed the sound and saw Gu Huai waving at him from the water.
Under the moonlight, everything was hazy and unpredictable.
Gu Chong did not know why Gu Huai was in the water. He could not help but step in and walk to the man.
"Brother …"
Skin to skin, Gu Chong felt the firm muscles on Gu Huai's body. The man's low and hoarse voice sounded in his ears. Their fingers lingered and water droplets slid down.
His body was getting hotter and hotter. The surrounding environment had changed. He lay under Gu Huai and kissed the direction of the water droplets.
"Brother, do you like it?"
Gu Chong's mind buzzed and he suddenly opened his eyes.
So it was a dream.
But why would he have such a dream?
Gu Chong sat up with a wooden face. He was not an ignorant teenager. Of course, he knew what such a dream meant. He just could not understand why he had such a strange dream.
The main characters in the dream were still Gu Huai and himself.
His first reaction was that he was glad that he did not agree to Gu Huai's request to sleep with him.
Gu Chong got up silently and changed into clean clothes. He threw away the dirty clothes. Out of sight, out of mind.
Gu Huai found that Gu Chong was avoiding him again. But this time, there was a slight difference.
He was not avoiding anything. He was just being awkward.
He was considerate and did not ask much. He continued to get along with Gu Chong as before.
Gu Chong was embarrassed for a few days. He tried not to show any abnormalities in their daily interactions.
One day, Gu Chong was stopped by an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. Someone had asked him to ask for Gu Chong's opinion. They wanted to matchmake Gu Huai and his youngest daughter.
"Lord Yao only has this one daughter in his family. She's intelligent and well-mannered …"
Gu Chong knew that with Gu Huai's age and ability, this day would come sooner or later. But he did not expect it to come so soon.
Later, Gu Huai came back from his shift. Seeing Gu Chong waiting for him in the courtyard, he smiled and walked over. "Brother, are you waiting for me?"
"There is something I want to talk to you about." Gu Chong chose his tone carefully.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Huai was curious.
"Lord Yao asked someone to find me today. He wants to matchmake you and his youngest daughter …"
"Brother, you agreed?" Gu Huai's face turned cold.
"How could I agree without asking you?" Gu Chong was embarrassed. When Gu Huai confessed to him, he swore that he only saw him as a younger brother. But now …
Hearing that someone wanted to marry Gu Huai, he actually felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if something that belonged to him was about to be taken away.
"Brother, you were right not to agree. I don't want anyone else other than you." Gu Huai looked at Gu Chong and said directly.
"I know. This is your own business. I won't make the decision for you." Hearing Gu Huai's answer, Gu Chong sighed in relief.
His subtle change did not escape Gu Huai, who had been observing him. Thinking of a possibility, Gu Huai was startled.
He said tentatively, "Brother, I don't want to be with anyone else. No matter how good they are, they can't compare to you in my heart. If you can agree to be with me …"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Chong interrupted in a panic. "Don't say that again."
Gu Huai had an idea. He thought that he would need more time to see the result. He didn't expect it to come sooner than expected.
"Brother, do you really dislike my feelings?"
The man lowered his eyes, like a dog afraid of being abandoned by its owner.
Dislike it?
"I …"
Gu Chong asked himself honestly. He didn't dislike it. He just … just …
Before he could think carefully, a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist. The man leaned close to his ear. "Brother, do you feel disgusted by what I'm doing?"
Gu Chong shook his head.
"How about this?"
Something touched his ear. Gu Chong continued to shake his head.
The distance between them kept closing. Gu Huai's eyes darkened. He first kissed Gu Chong's earlobe. When he didn't feel any resistance, he slowly moved on.
Cheeks, forehead, nose … all the way down.
Finally, his hot breath stopped at his lips.
Gu Chong felt his heart beating faster and faster. He didn't know if it was because he was afraid of the kiss or because he was looking forward to it.
When their lips touched, a barrier in Gu Chong's heart collapsed. He hugged Gu Huai back.
His action gave Gu Huai great encouragement. Gu Huai was overflowing with joy. His arms unconsciously tightened as if he wanted to rub the person in his arms into his body.
The kiss was getting crazier.
"Ugh …" Gu Chong's lips hurt and he groaned.
This sound woke Gu Huai up. He let go of Gu Huai. "Sorry, brother."
Gu Chong had time to breathe. He leaned on the man's shoulder and breathed slowly.
Gu Huai was still hugging him. He didn't want to let go. His lips lingered on Gu Chong's face.
Leaving a trail of wet marks.
Gu Chong felt that Gu Huai was really like a spoiled and clingy dog. Especially now, it was hard to resist.
"Brother, try it with me."
Gu Chong grabbed his hand and gasped. "Don't touch me."
"If you don't object, I'll take it that you agree." Gu Huai knew Gu Chong's character, so he didn't force him to say it.
"I'm so happy." Gu Huai kissed him again. "Brother …"
A breeze blew. The two of them, whose hearts were connected, hugged each other tightly. Their clothes were entwined. The rest of their lives were complete.
