Gu Yang quarreled endlessly, but Fan Yuan still remembered to study.
He turned over the heavy homework of Grade three students and wrote in a few strokes.
“What about your homework?”
Gu Yang was stunned for a moment: “I forgot to bring it back.”
Fan Yuan’s fingertips slapped the pen on the table, and Gu Yang shrank his neck in fright, and the wings on both sides folded inward.
“There can be no next time.”
Gu Yang thought that Fan Yuan was going to punish him, but he didn’t expect that Fan Yuan just casually dropped a sentence and turned to do his homework.
He was a little happy in his heart, feeling that today’s goodwill was not in vain.
Gu Yang immediately stood up, pushed Fan Yuan away from half the table, and sat cross-legged on it. The huge wings on both sides covered the table in the shadow.
“I promise I will be quiet and will not disturb your study!”
Gu Yang shook the phone at Fan Yuan and started to play the game on silent.
Looking at the dimmed light on the table, Fan Yuan took out a pair of earphones from the drawer and threw them to Gu Yang, then turned on the desk lamp by the table, acquiescing to Gu Yang sitting on his desk.
Gu Yang happily put on the headphones to play Rhythm Master, his body couldn’t help but sway to the music, but fortunately Fan Yuan’s desk was strong enough and didn’t wobble.
But Gu Yang found it boring after playing two games, and turned his eyes away from the phone screen to Fan Yuan who was studying hard.
Fan Yuan was undoubtedly a genius with a high IQ, but he would never be arrogant, and he would never be lazy when it was time to work hard.
When Gu Yang looked at him, he felt his neck was a little itchy.
He dropped his cell phone, jumped off the table, and quietly stood behind Fan Yuan.
Gu Yang leaned his head in, the scattered hair brushed against Fan Yuan’s ear, Fan Yuan slightly tilted his head.
Gu Yang didn’t know this. He put his hands on the back of the chair behind Fan Yuan, looked at Fan Yuan’s clean and neat handwriting, and when he was tired, he simply pressed his chin on Fan Yuan’s shoulder, along the way, he rubbed his itchy neck on Fan Yuan’s shoulder.
After rubbing for a while and wanting to sing again, Gu Yang carefully observed Fan Yuan’s expression.
“Fan Yuan, can I sing?”
Fan Yuan didn’t look at him, he kept writing, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Gu Yang pretended that Fan Yuan agreed, cleared his throat and began to sing.
He put his upper body on the back of the chair, put his hands around Fan Yuan’s shoulders from behind, and whispered into Fan Yuan’s ear:
“I can follow behind you, like a shadow chasing light…”
It wasn’t the old-fashioned “Love Birds”, Fan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then heard Gu Yang repeating those few lines again and again:
“I can wait at this intersection, whether you will pass by or not…”
Gu Yang sang and sang, the wings behind him slowly folded forward, enveloping both of them.
There was darkness in the black wings. Fan Yuan sat up straight, and let Gu Yang lie on his back, singing softly into his ear.
With such lyrics, such soft voice, such obvious dependence, everything about Gu Yang was so straightforward and frank.
Gu Yang sang these two lines of lyrics back and forth.
After a while, he stopped and asked Fan Yuan expectantly, “Does it sound good?”
Fan Yuan seemed to turn his head to Gu Yang: “It sounds good.”
Gu Yang happily tightened the arms holding Fan Yuan’s shoulders, taking advantage of his victory to pursue his goal.
“Then for the sake of me singing for you… you will give me a birthday present in advance?”
Gu Yang felt uneasy, he waited and waited until Fan Yuan chuckled.
In the darkness, Gu Yang couldn’t see the corners of Fan Yuan’s mouth curl up. He immediately spread his wings, and the light returned, but the curvature of Fan Yuan’s mouth had disappeared.
Gu Yang felt it was a pity, and saw Fan Yuan stand up, lightly hold Gu Yang’s hand, and lead him out.
Walking all the way to the door, he pushed Gu Yang out, closed and locked the door in front of Gu Yang.
Fan Yuan’s vague voice came from behind the door: “Don’t disturb my study.”
Gu Yang raised his foot angrily and wanted to kick the door, but after thinking about it, he withdrew his foot.
With a pair of heavy wings on his back, he quietly slipped back to the guest bedroom.
The Fan guest bedroom was also very spacious, enough for him to flap his wings in the room.
Gu Yang pushed the obstacles aside, and began flapping his wings to practice flying.
After finally growing a pair of big wings, he must make good use of them and not waste them!
While flapping his wings suddenly, Gu Yang did not forget to prick up his ears to listen to the movement outside.
Until the door of the study was pushed open, Gu Yang immediately ran out.
The corridor was very long, Gu Yang took advantage of his strength to run, and actually flew up close to the ground, the black wings fluttered slightly, and some feathers fell from the air.
As soon as Fan Yuan walked out of the study, he saw Gu Yang flying towards him, the black wings drawing beautiful tracks in the air, Fan Yuan opened his arms unconsciously, and caught Gu Yang who was flying towards him.
Gu Yang threw himself into Fan Yuan’s arms, wrapped his hands and feet tightly together in excitement, and even wrapped his wings.
He raised his head in Fan Yuan’s arms, his back straightened and he jumped up, smiling happily and simply.
“Look, Fan Yuan! I can fly! I’m flying! When I’m done practicing, I’ll take you to fly! I’ll take you to pick the stars and touch the moon!”
Fan Yuan held Gu Yang’s sweaty back with both hands, the scorching heat dyed his slightly cool palms hot.
He carried Gu Yang to the master bedroom, hitting him while walking.
“Isn’t this flapping on the ground? This is called flying?”
Gu Yang flapped his wings and slapped Fan Yuan’s back, unconvinced: “I just learned it. When I finish practicing, I promise to take you to the sky to touch the moon!”
Fan Yuan put Gu Yang on the bed, stretched out his hand to pinch the back of his sweaty shirt and shook it.
“Flying close to the ground is so exhausting, why do you want to take me to fly?”
Gu Yang patted Fan Yuan’s hand away, feeling a little angry.
Fan Yuan stopped teasing him and drove him to the bathroom.
“Go take a bath, don’t stay up late today, go to bed early.”
Gu Yang snorted, and entered the bathroom with his big wings on both sides.
Within five minutes of entering, he started calling Fan Yuan’s name inside, one after another endlessly, it seemed that as long as Fan Yuan didn’t go in, he would keep calling like this.
Fan Yuan stood in front of the brightly lit bathroom door, and after hearing enough of Gu Yang calling his name, he opened the door and went in.
In the bathroom, Gu Yang was kneeling in the bathtub, with his hands lying on the side of the bathtub, his wings on both sides were raised high, and he put them down for a while, and then raised them again, which seemed very uncomfortable.
Standing at the door of the bathroom, Fan Yuan lowered his eyes in a very restrained and polite manner, neither looking around nor walking in.
Gu Yang shook his wings, water was everywhere, a drop of water was thrown onto Fan Yuan’s face, it was warm and then instantly cold.
Fan Yuan still lowered his head, not looking at Gu Yang.
Both sides of Gu Yang’s wings became wet and heavy with water, he was too tired to hold on when he lifted it up, and it took up space when he put it down, the water in the bathtub was squeezed out.
He was holding the bottle of shower gel, and his thin white arms were resting on the edge of the bathtub.
“Fan Yuan, come here.”
Fan Yuan still didn’t move, his voice was cold: “Can’t you wash yourself?”
Gu Yang squeezed some shower gel and wiped it on his back, and he couldn’t touch the base of the wings.
“No, I can’t do it myself. Fan Yuan, come here.”
As Gu Yang spoke, he flapped his wings again, the water splashed onto Fan Yuan’s eyelids, he blinked his eyes, finally raised his head slowly, and walked towards Gu Yang.
The pitch-black wings were still shiny and slippery even after being covered with water, and they relaxed to the sides. Gu Yang’s skin in the middle was so white that it glowed. Opening up, he seemed impatient.
Fan Yuan walked to the bathtub and looked down at him.
Gu Yang immediately held Fan Yuan’s hand, the wet palm wet Fan Yuan’s palm too.
He stuffed the bottle of shower gel into Fan Yuan’s hand, and then turned around in the bathtub, not forgetting to clamp his legs tightly.
Two huge black wings were supported on the white and thin back, and the wings flapped gently, as if urging Fan Yuan to hurry up.
“Fan Yuan, wipe it off for me.” Gu Yang acted like a baby with his back turned to Fan Yuan.
After a while, Fan Yuan didn’t move.
Gu Yang turned his head to the side, revealing half of his face, his cheeks were flushed red from the hot water, he looked at Fan Yuan suspiciously.
“Fan Yuan? Male God Fan? Father Fan? Father Fan, I beg you.”
Fan Yuan pinched the shower gel bottle in his hand, and seemed to have a feeling:
“Gu Yang, am I too used to you?”
Gu Yang was a little unaccepting after hearing this, flapped his wings backwards, and wet Fan Yuan’s clothes with warm water.
“Didn’t you wash me before when I became a mermaid?”
Fan Yuan’s clothes were wet with water, the heat evaporated, and the clothes were icy cold on his skin, but he felt that his skin was hot.
He squeezed the shower gel bottle in his hand hard, and suddenly said: “Yeah, it’s not like I haven’t washed you before.”
The next moment, Fan Yuan opened the bottle cap, squeezed a lot of bath liquid into his palm, and wiped it on Gu Yang’s wings.
While washing, Gu Yang was very arrogant and requested a lot.
“Take it easy.”
“To the left.”
“Be stronger.”
“Hey, you didn’t wash it here.”
Fan Yuan didn’t say anything, and patiently washed Gu Yang’s wings, and washed them as Gu Yang asked him to. After washing the wings, Gu Yang laid comfortably in the bathtub, stretching his back with his back to Fan Yuan.
“Thank you, Male God Fan, you can go out, I will wash the rest myself.”
Fan Yuan casually threw the shower gel aside, and repeated it softly as if hearing some joke.
“Go out?”
Gu Yang nodded his head as a matter of course, half-closed his eyes and yawned a little, obviously very comfortable being served by Fan Yuan.
There was no movement behind him, Gu Yang thought Fan Yuan had gone out, just as he was about to stretch his waist, he was grabbed by the waist and lifted up forcefully.
Gu Yang exclaimed, and was lifted out of the water by Fan Yuan and sat on the edge of the bathtub.
He sat on the edge of the narrow and cold bathtub with his back pressed against Fan Yuan’s chest, clamped his legs nervously, and folded his wings forward to cover the important parts. He didn’t expect that Fan Yuan would suddenly drag him out of the water. When he came out, he turned his head and looked at Fan Yuan in a panic.
Fan Yuan’s black eyes were still as dark as thick ink under the overly bright white lamp in the bathroom. He smiled at Gu Yang, it was the kind of slightly nasty smile that Gu Yang had seen several times.
“I haven’t finished washing yet, why do you want me to go out?”
Gu Yang also put his hands down to cover. Getting out of the warm water, his body temperature dropped rapidly, he couldn’t help shaking, and stared at Fan Yuan with round eyes.
“I can wash the rest by myself…”
Fan Yuan held Gu Yang’s waist tightly, took the shampoo and washed Gu Yang’s hair.
His hands were not gentle, his fingertips pressed Gu Yang’s scalp, the shampoo flowed down the top of his head, and it was about to flow into Gu Yang’s eyes.
Fan Yuan’s hand around Gu Yang’s waist suddenly loosened, and he raised his arm while holding Gu Yang, letting Gu Yang hook his arm, and the free hand covered Gu Yang’s eyes, preventing shampoo from flowing into his eyes.
It was all right now, but the side of the bathtub was too slippery, in order to sit still, Gu Yang had to raise his arms to hook Fan Yuan’s arms, and could only cover himself with one hand, blushing all over from nervousness.
Gu Yang swore that he would never dare to order Fan Yuan casually again.
After washing Gu Yang’s hair, Fan Yuan squeezed the shower gel into the palm of his hand and rubbed it on Gu Yang’s body.
When turning into a mermaid before, it’s not like Fan Yuan hadn’t wiped for Gu Yang, but at that time Gu Yang had a mermaid tail, the front and back were the same, but not now!
Gu Yang’s heart was beating violently, feeling the moving position of Fan Yuan’s hand, he was afraid that Fan Yuan’s hand would suddenly drop down.
Fan Yuan was very strong, he rubbed Gu Yang twice, then suddenly pulled his hands back and distanced himself from Gu Yang.
Gu Yang’s hand hooking Fan Yuan’s arm was empty, he immediately slid into the bathtub, hid himself in the water, turned his head to reveal his rosy cheeks and powdery nose, his eyes were wet, like he was bullied severely.
Fan Yuan wiped his hands with a dry towel, slowly.
His hands were dry, but his body was already drenched.
“You wash the rest yourself.”
Gu Yang still didn’t realize it, he still looked at Fan Yuan stupidly.
Fan Yuan raised his eyebrows: “What’s the matter? You still want me to serve you?”
Gu Yang immediately turned his head, his wings flinched, and he lowered his head, revealing the nape of his neck covered with wet short hair.
Fan Yuan slowly wiped his hands, he was still wiping them after drying them early on, his gaze fixed on the back of Gu Yang’s neck.
Slender, white and vulnerable.
The clean towel was thrown on the ground, Fan Yuan took a step forward and bent down.
Gu Yang, who was curled up in the bathtub, suddenly straightened his back, leaned his neck back, and spread his wings to both sides.
Gu Yang’s eyes widened slightly, and he opened his mouth, but he didn’t make a sound.
Fan Yuan bit the back of his neck with pain and heat.
Fan Yuan bit someone and left, leaving Gu Yang sitting in the bathtub with his head bowed, his wings slowly falling down.
After sitting for a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand to touch the back of his neck. He could feel a slight dent with his fingertips, which was the tooth mark left by Fan Yuan.
Gu Yang touched it twice, then retracted his hand like an electric shock, and curled himself up.
Fan Yuan did not go far, but still stood at the door of the bathroom.
He turned his head slightly, looking at Gu Yang who was curled up through the closed gap.
Suddenly, Gu Yang chuckled lightly.
Fan Yuan raised his eyes slightly, and saw Gu Yang turn around, revealing a triumphant, flushed smiling face.
When Gu Yang came out of the bathroom, Fan Yuan was leaning against the head of the bed and writing something in the notebook, and when he saw him coming out, he put the notebook away.
Gu Yang didn’t care. With a clean towel and a hair dryer in his hand, he threw himself onto the bed, sat on his knees, threw both the towel and the hair dryer on the bed, stretched out his legs and kicked the things towards Fan Yuan twice, which was very obvious.
Fan Yuan didn’t respond, sat up and turned over the collar of Gu Yang’s clothes.
Gu Yang was wearing Fan Yuan’s shirt. In fact, he was almost always wearing Fan Yuan’s clothes these days, and he was used to it. He even felt that the looser clothes were more comfortable.
But at this time, because of the two big wings on the back, Gu Yang was wearing this shirt backwards, and only the bottom three buttons were fastened at the back, the top was open to reveal the wings, and the front was also so loose that it almost became a one-shoulder.
Seeing Fan Yuan notice his clothes, Gu Yang proudly shook off his overly long sleeves.
“I’m smart!”
Fan Yuan was inexplicably easy to talk to at the moment, and nodded along with him.
“Clever.”
Gu Yang knelt by the bed, obediently asked Fan Yuan to wipe his wings and hair with a towel, and then asked Fan Yuan to blow his hair with a hair dryer after wiping.
The wings were thick and heavy, and it took a lot of effort to blow them.
The whirring sound of the hair dryer kept ringing in his ears. Gu Yang hummed boringly, then felt his neck itchy again, he couldn’t help scratching it twice.
Standing behind Gu Yang, Fan Yuan could clearly see the teeth marks on the back of Gu Yang’s neck, the marks became redder after his skin was soaked in water.
He pushed back Gu Yang’s hair, and lightly brushed the uneven marks with his fingertips.
Gu Yang shrank his neck, laughing and yelling from the itch.
After finally drying the wings on both sides, Gu Yang tilted his head back, looked up at Fan Yuan from bottom to top, tapped his neck with his fingertips, and narrowed his eyes at Fan Yuan with a smile.
“Father Fan, touch my neck?”
Fan Yuan didn’t move. Gu Yang waited and got impatient, he simply turned around and grabbed Fan Yuan’s hand and rubbed it against him twice, in order to alleviate the uncomfortable side effect of the golden finger.
After Gu Yang finished rubbing, he immediately shook off Fan Yuan’s hand, laid back on the bed in a refreshed manner, grabbed the phone to play games, the attitude of throwing something away after using it was very obvious!
Fan Yuan narrowed his eyes, put away the hair dryer, confiscated Gu Yang’s cell phone, turned off the light and laid down on the other side of the bed.
“Sleep.”
Gu Yang was squeezed to the other side by Fan Yuan. He retracted his wings, lifted them up and put them on Fan Yuan’s body. He was very clear-headed and didn’t feel sleepy at all.
He looked at Fan Yuan’s silhouette in the dark and listened to Fan Yuan’s breathing rhythm.
Fan Yuan fell asleep quickly, and his breathing calmed down after a while.
Gu Yang laid on the bed, one side of his wings covered Fan Yuan, while the other extended out from the side of the bed, drooping on the ground.
After a while he felt hot. He turned his head to look at the air conditioner, the temperature was already very low, Fan Yuan would definitely not be able to bear it any lower.
But Gu Yang was so hot that he could only quietly get up, step over Fan Yuan, and lie on the other side of Fan Yuan.
In this way, he can change one wing to hang on Fan Yuan’s body, and the other wing can hang from the side of the bed to the ground to enjoy the cool.
After lying down like this for a while, the other wing also started to heat up, so Gu Yang could only step over Fan Yuan again and switch sides again.
At this time, Gu Yang was extremely thankful that Fan Yuan’s bed was big enough for him to toss and turn.
When he stepped over Fan Yuan an unknown number of times, Fan Yuan, who had been lying quietly all this time, suddenly turned on the bedside lamp.
The sudden light made Gu Yang squint his eyes. He was leaning on the bed and straddling Fan Yuan, but he didn’t expect to be caught by Fan Yuan.
Fan Yuan sat up, raised his body, and Gu Yang sat on Fan Yuan’s lap.
Gu Yang folded his wings nervously, grabbed the quilt with both hands, and looked at Fan Yuan nervously, he knew that Fan Yuan got a little annoyed when he woke up.
“Fan Yuan…I…it’s too hot…”
Fan Yuan directly adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to the lowest level, pressed Gu Yang to turn off the light and laid down, warning him:
“Gu Yang, if you are dishonest again, get out for me.”
Gu Yang nodded, and curled up beside Fan Yuan’s bed, looking obedient and well-behaved.
However, being cute was only temporary, and “Nightingale” needed to toss around at night.
Gu Yang laid down for a while, but felt cold. He got up from the bed again, and wanted to step over Fan Yuan to get the remote control of the air conditioner to increase the temperature.
Who would have thought that at this time Fan Yuan suddenly bent his leg and blocked Gu Yang.
Gu Yang couldn’t stabilize himself, and stretched out his hand to press Fan Yuan’s knee heavily.
The bedside lamp was turned on again, Fan Yuan sat up with a sullen face, pushed away the stiff Gu Yang, opened the bedroom door and went out.
Gu Yang sat on the messy bed, bit his lip, a little flustered.
Fan Yuan wouldn’t be so angry that he went to sleep in the guest bedroom, right?
Just when Gu Yang was hesitating whether to go to the guest room with him, Fan Yuan came back with something rattling in his hand.
Gu Yang was stunned for a moment, watching Fan Yuan walking towards him carrying the thing.
It was a pitch-black collar with a silver bell hanging from the front and a fine black iron chain attached to the back.
Gu Yang sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, watching Fan Yuan buckle the collar around his neck, and then wrap the iron chain into his hands.
Fan Yuan buckled it loosely, Gu Yang didn’t feel uncomfortable, but the iron chain was wrapped round and round by Fan Yuan around his own wrist, which made the two of them unable to distance themselves.
Gu Yang was pressed down again by Fan Yuan. Because of the length of the iron chain, he could no longer toss back and forth on both sides of the bed like before.
Fan Yuan seemed quite satisfied, turned off the light and laid down, and ordered Gu Yang to go to bed quickly.
Gu Yang laid down, moved his neck, and immediately there was a crisp sound of a bell. Now he didn’t dare to move, so he could only lie obediently on Fan Yuan’s side and stop tossing. He settled down and fell asleep for a while.
In the early morning, Gu Yang woke up with Fan Yuan’s heavy breathing.
The curtains were able to see through the thin light, and Fan Yuan was sweating profusely, as if he was having a nightmare again.
Gu Yang wanted to look up, but because of the iron chain, it was difficult to move.
In the end, he could only slide down from the bed, sit on the ground, and lie on the bed to see Fan Yuan.
Fan Yuan’s eyeballs kept moving under his thin eyelids, obviously he was having a nightmare.
Gu Yang reached out to wipe the sweat off Fan Yuan’s forehead, and began to sing to him, humming softly and in a low voice.
Maybe it’s because of the golden finger of “Nightingale”, Gu Yang’s singing seemed to have the magic power to calm people’s hearts at this time, and it quickly calmed down Fan Yuan who was in a nightmare.
Fan Yuan opened his eyes, the light in the room was dim, Gu Yang was lying on the side of the bed, looking at him eagerly. Seeing him wake up, he immediately raised his head, the bell around his neck jingled with his movements, a pitch-black iron chain was connected along Gu Yang’s neck to Fan Yuan’s wrist.
Looking at Gu Yang’s clear eyes, Fan Yuan seemed to be fascinated for a while.
He unconsciously tugged the iron chain in his hand, and pulled Gu Yang to the front.
Gu Yang half propped himself on the side of the bed, smiling at Fan Yuan.
“Fan Yuan, you’re awake!”
Fan Yuan’s eyes fell from Gu Yang’s eyes to his neck, looking at the loose collar.
This loop was only fastened on the loose part of the edge, and it can be untied with a push of the hand, or even without a push it could be opened by itself with a little movement.
He didn’t expect that when he woke up, Gu Yang would still be honestly carrying this thing.
In other words, Gu Yang never thought of getting out of it at all.
Fan Yuan’s black eyes blinked slowly, and the eyelids drooped, blocking all the emotions inside.
He asked Gu Yang softly: “Do you like this thing?”
Gu Yang froze for a moment, shook his neck, and the bell jingled.
“How about I give you one? Send you one with your name engraved on it.”
Gu Yang didn’t expect Fan Yuan to ask such a question early in the morning, his face immediately turned red and he stammered.
“Then, then give one that looks nicer.”
The author has something to say: Gu Yang is testing Fan Yuan’s bottom line
The song that appears in this story is “追光者”
