Top Dupe CH 023 Good Night

"Huh?" Luo Yu was startled and quickly turned the script the right side up, but found that it was not upside down at all.

"Ah, it seems that the Senior Brother was not reading the script just now, but was thinking about something else."

Luo Yu thought Gu Xiaowei was angry because of his distraction, but when he looked up, he found a smile in his eyes.

Except for acting his roles, Gu Xiaowei rarely smiled in real life, or it should be said that he held his emotions very tightly to himself, and only started to express them when he was acting.

But it was different now. Luo Yu could tell that he was in a good mood. It was like the sunset and stars were reflected in his eyes. The calm lake surface was rippling, testing the thin layer of frost covering it.

"Is it fun to tease me?" Luo Yu asked in amusement.

Gu Xiaowei did not answer the question, but asked: "What were you thinking about just now?"

Seeing that he had put away all his emotions again, Luo Yu wanted to tease the other back.

“I was thinking about you."

His voice was not loud but clear, not frivolous but still scalded the air.

Gu Xiaowei's expression remained the same, which made Luo Yu a little disappointed.

When he lowered his head to really read the script, the throat of the person opposite him swallowed slowly and forcefully.

“What were you thinking about me?" Gu Xiaowei asked.

Luo Yu looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. He had to get up at five o'clock tomorrow to prepare for filming.

“About how far your acting skills will be in ten years." Luo Yu said.

"How far do you think, Senior Brother?"

Luo Yu put the script on his knees, leaned back on his arms, raised his head and recalled the scenes he acted in with Gu Xiaowei in front of the camera in his previous life.

"All the roles are the flimsiest city wall in front of you. You are a poet holding a lantern, boating on the clouds. You are a famous general on the battlefield whose blade is stained with blood. You can also be a knight-errant in a straw hat lightly leaving the past behind you. You can be anyone. The height you reach cannot be easily reached by others." Luo Yu replied.

Gu Xiaowei lowered his eyes. Probably because the light in the room was not bright enough Luo Yu couldn't see his eyes clearly.

He just felt that it was the deepest black ink, which bloomed on the white paper, as if it was capturing something.

"Senior Brother, others don't have to reach my height, but you have to be there."

"Ah?" Luo Yu raised his eyes and found that Gu Xiaowei had stood up at some point and had some to stand in front of him.

He put his hands in his pockets and looked at Luo Yu with lowered eyes. It was clearly a downward gaze, but it seemed to be serious and solemn.

"Otherwise, I will be so lonely by myself."

Luo Yu raised his head and smiled, "I'm happy to accompany you."

"It's late, Fang Qin may have already fallen asleep in my room." Gu Xiaowei said.

"Hahaha, he must not be able to sleep now. It all feels like a dream that he could actually sleep in Gu Xiaowei's room once in his lifetime."

"Then I'll rest here tonight." Gu Xiaowei said.

"Ah, okay." Luo Yu nodded.

He originally thought that Gu Xiaowei would call back to confirm whether Fang Qin was sleeping, but he didn't expect that Gu Xiaowei would so naturally let Fang Qin sleep in his room.

Gu Xiaowei took off his coat, shook it lightly, and hung it in the closet in the room.

The thin sweater he wore clearly showed off his good figure. The proportion of shoulder width and waist and abdomen was perfect. When his arms were raised, his back stretched out in a strong tense line. Even if he didn't take off his clothes Luo Yu could guess this guy definitely had abs, and they were well-defined.

"Gu Xiaowei, you… did you learn martial arts?" Luo Yu asked.

After all, Luo Yu had practiced martial arts since he was a child. Although he had repaid more than half of what he learned to his teacher, his foundation was still there. He should not have been so helpless against Gu Xiaowei to the point he didn't even have a chance to react.

"Does the military training during college military training count?" Gu Xiaowei turned his head and asked.

"Forget it." Luo Yu turned away and smiled.

"Actually, I encountered danger when I was a child, so my family hired a teacher to teach me some self-defense." Gu Xiaowei walked towards Luo Yu's direction, one hand propping himself on Luo Yu's side, and when he bent down to get closer, that delicious aftershave scent was back.

At that moment, Luo Yu almost thought that Gu Xiaowei was going to move towards him.

But just when Luo Yu was about to lean back, Gu Xiaowei widened the distance between them and sat beside him naturally, as if he just wanted to chat with Luo Yu.

"What about Senior Brother? Yesterday, you used the knife to slash Brother Long's wrist. It seemed that you had practiced it. It was smooth and neat and highlighted Bai Ying's character."

"I learned some martial arts when I was a kid, but I haven't had the chance to use it until now." Luo Yu smiled helplessly. Gu Xiaowei happened to be sitting close, so he hooked Gu Xiaowei's collar with his hand and gently twisted it. He originally wanted to show off his grappling skills, but suddenly realized that his behavior was a bit over the line.

But unexpectedly, Gu Xiaowei not only did not avoid him, but instead leaned toward him, and even raised his chin slightly, as a hint that Luo Yu was allowed to do whatever he wanted.

His fingers seemed as if they were burned, but Luo Yu's face was very calm.

"This is a sweater. Although the texture is quite soft, it will be uncomfortable to sleep in, right? How about I give you a set of pajamas?" Luo Yu asked.

"Okay." Gu Xiaowei nodded.

Luo Yu got out of bed, opened his suitcase, and found another set of pajamas.

"This is not an expensive brand, but they are made of pure cotton."

"As long as it's comfortable." Gu Xiaowei put his pajamas on the bed, turned his back to Luo Yu, grabbed his sweater, and pulled it off his head.

A simple action made Luo Yu understand what the netizens referred to when they talked about “sex on legs."

The shoulders brought up the muscle tension of the entire back, making Luo Yu feel inexplicably embarrassed.

He remembered a movie poster of Gu Xiaowei he had seen in his previous life. In it, Gu Xiaowei's face was turned sideways and only his back was exposed while the heroine had her arms around his neck and looked at the audience.

At that time, Gu Xiaowei's back view drove netizens crazy.

Luo Yu admitted that the poster was very visually stunning, especially the full sexual tension, but at the time he didn't believe that Gu Xiaowei's back could be so sexy, because... this was not something that people could be born with at all, it was definitely a photo-edited image with artistic effect added.

But after he was reborn, he was slapped in the face, and the slap was quite loud.

Gu Xiaowei's back really looked like this. It was useless to envy or be jealous of him. It was raw and natural, without any artistic exaggeration at all.

Gu Xiaowei also changed into the pajama pants.

Luo Yu glanced at him and quickly turned away.

His pajamas were a bit big, but they fit just right on Gu Xiaowei.

Gu Xiaowei didn't seem to be much taller than him, right? After all, he was also a handsome guy who had broken through the 180cm mark.

But in front of Gu Xiaowei's figure, Luo Yu felt that he was a little lacking in momentum.

The two of them turned off the bedside lamp in unison.

The whole space suddenly became quiet. The distance between him and him was very close, so close that he could clearly hear the other man's breathing.

But there was an aisle of 40 to 50 centimeters between them, which seemed like the boundary between Chu and Han.

Just as Luo Yu was about to say "good night", Gu Xiaowei said first, "I'm sorry."

"Ah? For what?"

"That day at a night snack bar near the school, I saw Bo Wenyuan smashing a wine bottle and threatening suicide to sign the contract with you."

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment. Bo Wenyuan scared him so much that he didn't even remember anyone else around him.

"I heard you promised to sign the contract and thought you were just comforting him... I should have pulled him away." Gu Xiaowei said.

At that moment, Luo Yu truly felt that he was Gu Xiaowei's Senior Brother, because they had met in the same late night snack bar when they were students, and Gu Xiaowei had witnessed his most stupid moment.

"It had nothing to do with you in the first place, you don't need to apologize." Luo Yu said.

Ironically, the person who really owed him "I'm sorry" hadn't spoken to him for a long time.

"The first drama I filmed was "Plum Rain". Bo Wenyuan sent me to audition."

Every time Bo Wenyuan had a meal with him, he would keep telling Luo Yu repeatedly that it was all because a talent scout like him that the second male lead played by Luo Yu became a hit.

"Just think of me as giving him back the fame he brought me twice over. Now, whether it's criticism or glory, it all belongs to me." Luo Yu said.

For a long time, there was no sound from the other side.

Luo Yu thought Gu Xiaowei had fallen asleep, after all, what he said just now was a little too personal to discuss with a comparative stranger.

But Gu Xiaowei said: "Good night."

No one had said good night to Luo Yu for many years, and the friend and confidant he once thought whom he could talk to about everything had also deliberately alienated him, although he had never wanted to shamelessly persist in the first place.

Many years later, he never expected that these two words would come from Gu Xiaowei, an elite who stood high up in the clouds, his tone gentle and solemn.

Just like the sun was willing to sink into the bottom of the sea and illuminate the cold gaps.

Luo Yu's eyes suddenly stung a bit.

It seemed that what Gu Xiaowei said was not "good night", but words of courage to give it a try again.

Luo Yu slept really well that night.

When his steady breathing sounded, the man on the other bed slowly turned around. After adapting to the darkness, his sight could clearly take in Luo Yu's facial features.

That person had a moving profile, like half a peach blossom hidden in the deep spring night.

At five o'clock in the morning, Luo Yu's cell phone rang. He pressed it down immediately and glanced at Gu Xiaowei on the bed opposite.

Half of his face was sunk into the pillow, and one hand was placed next to his cheek without any guard at all. His eyelashes lowered and brushed his cheeks, giving off a pure attractiveness.

Luo Yu immediately looked away and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He was not in a hurry to wake Gu Xiaowei because the first scene today was the scene in the flower shop. Luo Yu thought about washing up first and letting Gu Xiaowei sleep for two more minutes.

While he was in the bathroom, Gu Xiaowei had already sat up. He turned his face and saw the bathroom door that was mostly closed.

Luo Yu's back was turned to him, his shirt was lifted up just enough to reveal his narrow waistline, his pajama pants hanging loosely on his hips, a faint shadow stretching downwards.

Having once practiced martial arts created a strong yet soft beautiful figure, which could be felt from just this waistline.

Gu Xiaowei stood quietly in front of the unlocked door until Luo Yu finished washing his hands and turned around.

“You're awake?" 

"En, my alarm went off too."
