Chapter 24 Love You
Guo Wei did not return to his dormitory that night.
For dinner, they ordered takeout. Ruan Yiyun went downstairs to get it. After they sat side by side at the desk and finished eating, Guo Wei still reminded Ruan Yiyun not to forget to take his vitamin pills.
After dinner, Ruan Yiyun did his homework symbolically for a while.
The laptop was always open, but he only typed two or three times per minute on the keyboard. Most of the time, they looked at each other in a daze, smiled, deliberately made strange expressions, made all sorts of sounds, and talked nonsense.
Chen Zui recently told Guo Wei that he couldn't stand Ruan Yiyun's mouth.
Guo Wei could never understand.
Ruan Yiyun's mouth was as sweet as honey, always able to say the most comforting and joyful words to him.
Not only were his words pleasant to hear, but he was also very good at kissing. Without Guo Wei being too proactive, he would also come close on his own, eager to let their lips be tightly connected.
"You smell so good," Guo Wei told him.
"Is that so," Ruan Yiyun said, planting a kiss on Guo Wei's lips after every few words, "It must be the scent of the essential oil you gave me."
Guo Wei shook his head. "You've always been fragrant."
Ruan Yiyun seemed to delight in his response, smiling as he leaned closer to Guo Wei's ear, whispering, "Do you like it?"
Guo Wei liked it very much.
Guo Wei nodded, then leaned in to sniff Ruan Yiyun's skin, as earnest as a puppy.
It truly was fragrant, light and subtle, with a hint of sweetness, a scent he was familiar with and fond of.
Ruan Yiyun asked again, "How much do you like it?"
Guo Wei, feeling dizzy from Ruan Yiyun's kisses, struggled to think clearly. He could only emphasize with the simplest adjectives, "Very, very much."
Ruan Yiyun chuckled softly in his ear, his breath caressing Guo Wei's skin, causing him to instinctively retract his neck.
"It tickles," he told Ruan Yiyun.
Seizing the opportunity, Ruan Yiyun moved slightly downward, pressing his lips to Guo Wei's neck.
He delicately traced over the area, each brush of his lips against the skin sending shivers of pleasure through Guo Wei.
It felt unfamiliar, a bit awkward, yet beautiful and pleasurable at the same time. He didn't want to refuse this intimacy.
"Husband..." Ruan Yiyun drew out the word in a soft and tender voice, then extended his tongue to lightly lick Guo Wei's neck.
Guo Wei's bones turned to jelly, mentally echoing "wife, wife, wife" repeatedly.
But then Ruan Yiyun asked, "Have you not showered yet?"
Guo Wei's eyes, which had been half-closed, snapped open. He leaned back, putting some distance between himself and Ruan Yiyun. "Is...is there a smell?"
Ruan Yiyun paused, then burst into laughter.
"I mean, if you haven't... we could go together."
As the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness.
With a bit more experience, the sensations became even more exquisite than before.
Ruan Yiyun's body appeared stunning under the bright light. Fair and flawless, slender yet not frail, he appeared more slender than his actual height, with taut lines, almost elegant.
Guo Wei watched in fascination.
This unimaginable beauty belonged to him.
He was so ecstatic that he was almost floating on air. Only the heavy feeling of happiness in his heart could keep him calm on the surface.
"Will we always be together?" Ruan Yiyun asked him.
Guo Wei nodded. "We will."
Ruan Yiyun asked again, "Will you still like me no matter how I change?"
Guo Wei nodded once more. "Yes."
After saying this, he added on his own accord, "I love you."
Despite the exhaustion gnawing at him, Guo Wei found himself wide awake in Ruan Yiyun's embrace.
Compared to the last time, having the bathroom light on the entire time heightened the sensation, sending waves of happiness crashing over him a thousand times over.
He savored the entire experience, his face flushed with embarrassment and excitement throughout.
How wonderful it was.
He decided not to dwell on why Ruan Yiyun had grown so tall anymore. Anyway, Ruan Yiyun didn't mind him being younger, and even praised him for being cute after spacing out.
Ruan Yiyun slept beside him, eyes closed, as if already asleep.
He had been sleep-deprived lately, so getting some extra rest was a good thing. Guo Wei dared not move, only carefully turned his head to the side, quietly watching.
After a while, he couldn't contain the impulse in his heart and softly called out, "Wife."
After a few seconds, Ruan Yiyun softly responded, "Mmm..."
He still kept his eyes closed, his voice soft and gentle, muffled, as if half-asleep.
Afraid of disturbing him, Guo Wei didn't dare to speak again, pursing his lips and smiling foolishly to himself.
As his consciousness gradually blurred, a small exclamation suddenly popped into his mind. He hadn't validated what Wang Tong had said a few days ago.
Subconsciously, he carefully recalled, but still couldn't retrieve any related memories.
Practice was the only method to test the truth, and indeed, those jumbled rumors were never credible.
In the late night, Guo Wei woke up gradually due to the faint movements beside him.
When he turned his head to look at Ruan Yiyun, Ruan Yiyun quickly noticed.
"Sorry, did I disturb you?" Ruan Yiyun froze momentarily. "I'm fine, I won't move."
Guo Wei quickly realized what was happening. He reached out his arm and embraced the person lying beside him.
"No pain, no pain," his voice was sleepy and hoarse, his tone slow, "Pain, pain, fly away."
Ruan Yiyun smiled.
With his eyes closed, Guo Wei gently patted Ruan Yiyun's back.
Ruan Yiyun adjusted his position, turning to face him, pressing closer to him.
"Seems like it's really much better now," he told Guo Wei.
Guo Wei still hadn't opened his eyes, but he smiled too.
His hand traced along Ruan Yiyun's hair, down his back, and then back up again, repeating the motion, as if stroking a gentle and silky cat.
Ruan Yiyun lay like that for a while, then leaned forward slightly, kissing his chin.
"You're so good, how are you so good?" he said, "I'm liking you more and more."
Guo Wei chuckled softly. "Go to sleep."
Ruan Yiyun nodded, but moments later, he couldn't resist moving again.
"Still feeling uncomfortable?" Guo Wei asked, "Feeling pain?"
Ruan Yiyun didn't admit it. "It's okay."
Guo Wei thought for a moment and suggested, "How about we chat for a while to distract ourselves?"
"Aren't you tired?" Ruan Yiyun asked.
"I am," Guo Wei said, "But I can still chat with you. I have no class for the first period tomorrow morning."
Ruan Yiyun seemed to find this answer amusing. His shoulders shook slightly, his warmth spreading onto Guo Wei's skin.
"What do you want to talk about?" he asked Guo Wei.
Guo Wei thought for a moment, then said, "I had a thought that popped into my head in my dream just now."
"What was it?" Ruan Yiyun asked.
"You mentioned last time that the medicine you took as a child had some effects on you," Guo Wei said, "Now that you've grown taller, could it be because of that?"
This association was a bit of a stretch. Guo Wei made the remark casually and did not intend it to be taken seriously.
Ruan Yiyun remained silent for a while, whether he was seriously considering it or not was unclear.
"Last time you only mentioned half of it, what exactly did the medicine do to you?" Guo Wei asked again.
"...It's a long story, a bit complicated," Ruan Yiyun said, "If I explain it seriously, neither of us will be able to sleep."
"Oh, I see," Guo Wei nodded, "What's the name of the medicine? I'll look it up myself."
This incident was quite significant, affecting more than just a few children. There must be records of it, easily searchable on the internet.
"I don't remember, it's been over ten years," Ruan Yiyun said, "Please don't make me recall. If I start thinking, I'll be completely awake and won't be able to sleep."
Guo Wei thought to himself that the topic he brought up wasn't very good.
"Then what do you want to talk about?" he asked Ruan Yiyun.
After thinking for a while, Ruan Yiyun said, "How about you sing me a lullaby?"
Guo Wei was surprised for a few seconds, then cleared his throat quickly, blushing as he started, "Sleep~ sleep~ my dear baby~"
Ruan Yiyun's entire body shook with uncontrollable laughter.
"...Seems like it had the opposite effect." Guo Wei's cheeks were warm. "Is it that bad to listen to?"
"Why are you so cute." Ruan Yiyun cupped his cheeks, planting a firm kiss on his lips. "It's so nice, I love it so much!"
The next morning, Guo Wei unusually didn't get up early.
At the usual waking hour, he briefly regained consciousness, turning to gaze at Ruan Yiyun still asleep beside him for a moment before drifting back into deep sleep.
It wasn't until close to noon when he opened his eyes again, finding Ruan Yiyun already awake, lying beside him and smiling as he looked at him.
The little wishes he had hoped for last time had all come true this time.
They stood together at the sink brushing their teeth and rinsing, smiling at each other in the mirror, exchanging kisses with the fresh taste of mint toothpaste.
As he left, Ruan Yiyun stood at the window watching him. When Guo Wei jumped down from the rockery and turned to look back, Ruan Yiyun smiled and blew him a kiss.
Guo Wei jumped up to catch it, then swallowed it with a playful "ah".
He was late for class again.
Walking briskly to his seat under the gaze of the entire class, he was met with Wang Tong's skeptical look.
"...Have you made up?" he asked.
"No," Guo Wei set down his backpack, "We didn't even have a fight. It's just a small misunderstandings."
As he spoke, he sat down, took out his phone from his pocket, and sent a message to Ruan Yiyun.
——I'm in the classroom now!
After sending the message, he hesitated for a moment, then opened Ruan Yiyun's profile and, with a shy smile, changed the nickname to "wife".
Wang Tong's expression was subtle. "How did he explain it to you?"
"He didn't feel well, so he went to the hospital to see a doctor. He didn't mention it to me because he was afraid I would worry," Guo Wei said.
Wang Tong crossed his arms, tilted his head, and pondered.
"Really," Guo Wei said, "He wouldn't lie to me."
"Why is he not feeling well?" Wang Tong asked again.
"Growing pains, because he's been growing taller recently," Guo Wei said.
"Ah?" Wang Tong's exclamation was somewhat loud, attracting the attention of those around them.
He quickly lowered his voice, "What are you saying? Are you sure?"
Guo Wei nodded, not elaborating further. After all, he wasn't clear on the reason himself.
More than these questions, what he was more concerned about was why Ruan Yiyun hadn't replied to his message.
It was really strange.
