Chapter 16:
Tu Yan regretted it a little.
He shouldn't have impulsively hugged Gu Chenbai like that.
He was now hanging onto Gu Chenbai, not able to let go, and when he tried to move away, Gu Chenbai held onto his waist, trapping him.
"Let me hold you a little longer.
Next time, who knows when I'll have the chance to hold you again." Gu Chenbai pressed on Tu Yan's back against his own chest, and surprisingly, Tu Yan didn't resist.
Tu Yan was originally sitting by Gu Chenbai's side and had even turned in a different direction just to hug him.
But twisting his waist made him uncomfortable, so he made a slight adjustment.
However, Gu Chenbai grabbed his ankle, making him sit on his lap with his legs spread.
It was an intimate position, and for a moment, Tu Yan didn't understand.
But it didn't feel too strange either.
After all, every step they took was peculiar.
They got married as soon as they met, signed a divorce agreement right after moving in together, kissed after over a month of cohabitation, and didn't embrace until over two months later.
He asked a question that had been puzzling him, "How did you injure your leg?" "When I was fifteen, I was walking with my brother on the road.
A car was coming towards him, and I saw it, so I rushed forward to push him away.
But I couldn't dodge it myself." Gu Chenbai spoke casually, as if he were talking about someone else, "Actually, having this outcome was already a great outcome from a misfortune.
At least I saved this leg and didn't have to amputate it." Tu Yan felt frustrated listening to this, unconsciously clenching his fists, "What's wrong with Gu Chaocheng? Doesn't he watch where he's walking?" Gu Chenbai helplessly smiled and pinched Tu Yan's soft earlobe twice, "Bunny, can you escape natural disasters and man-made calamities?" Tu Yan frowned and looked at Gu Chenbai.
He had thought he was already pitiful enough, unloved by his parents.
But Gu Chenbai seemed even more unfortunate, accompanied by a lifelong disability.
"Gu Chenbai, do you still like me now?" "Huh?" Tu Yan turned his face, gazing at the bedside lamp, and said, "Have these two months not worn away your liking for me? My temper is so bad, I always boss you around.
If you still like me, I'll look down on you." "How do you want me to answer?" Gu Chenbai twisted Tu Yan's shoulder, forcing Tu Yan to meet his gaze, his eyes filled with some anger.
Tu Yan said softly, "Gu Chenbai, forget about me when the agreement expires.
You're so good, you'll definitely meet someone worthy of your love.
That person will be gentle and considerate, you'll share interests, have lots to talk about, and you'll form a happy family and have a few children." "But that person can't be you, right?"
Tu Yan nodded, feeling his breath becoming heavy, his eyes sore.
He thought, "Could it be that I caught a fever from getting wet in the rain just now?" "Rabbit, why are you always so cruel to me? The last time you sat on my lap and spoke softly to me, it was to coax me into signing the divorce agreement." Tu Yan didn't speak, feeling guilty.
"But what you said makes sense--" Gu Chenbai suddenly said.
Tu Yan looked up suddenly, unconsciously grabbing the hem of Gu Chenbai's pajamas.
"It's hard for you to forget, but it should be easier for you when we meet again," Gu Chenbai leaned over and pressed Tu Yan onto the bed, punishingly kissing his mouth that often spoke cutting words, "Rabbit, considering how good I am to you, can you promise me one thing?" "What is it?" "After the divorce, don't run away too quickly.
I'm afraid that as soon as I turn around, I won't be able to find you." Tu Yan didn't immediately agree, feeling guilty and upset by the words.
He thought angrily, "Gu Chenbai is so treacherous, talking about divorce while also pressuring me to soften my heart." "I have another request." "No, only one is allowed." Gu Chenbai smiled, then planted a kiss on the tip of Tu Yan's nose.
"Alright." Tu Yan's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but ask, "What request? Tell me." "Starting from now until the end, can you stop mentioning the word 'divorce'?" Tu Yan froze.
"You, you're always so spoiled.
But there's no other way, I still want to unconditionally treat you well.
It was only after meeting you that I realized what kind of person I am without any bottom line." ...
...
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, wake up, wake up." Tu Yan felt someone calling him urgently, the sound tearing through space and transmitting clearly.
Gu Chenbai's face gradually faded in front of him, and he realized that he had just been dreaming.
It was his agent who was calling him, standing by the couch and looking at him nervously.
"Xiao Yan, why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling unwell?" The makeup artist also stood by her side, with a worried expression.
"Yes, Tu Shao, your complexion is very poor.
Shouldn't you go to the hospital?" Tu Yan was about to wave them off, but a wave of nausea surged up from his stomach, and he couldn't hold it back, rushing into the bathroom and vomiting uncontrollably.
