The Cultivation of Rebirth

Although it has been a long time since twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers outside the window still hasn't stopped.

On the TV in the living room, the Spring Festival Gala has also ended.

Gu Huaidong and Li Rui looked at each other silently for a long time, then Li Rui stood up, put away the empty bowl and went to the kitchen.

Gu Huaidong hastily followed.

Li Rui washes the dishes, Gu Huaidong washes the pots.

After tidying up the kitchen, the two of them looked at each other for a while, but were speechless again.

After a while, Gu Huaidong said, "It's late, let's go to sleep, Li Rui. Or do you want to set off fireworks?"

Gu Huaidong just had this idea suddenly.

But the next moment he remembered that there were no fireworks at home.

"If you want to set off fireworks, I'll go out and see if I can still buy them." Gu Huaidong added embarrassingly.

Seeing Gu Huaidong scratching the back of his head, Li Rui couldn't help laughing, "Wait until next time. I'm sleepy now."

"Then go to bed?"

"Ah."

Gu Huaidong gave way to the door, letting Li Rui go out first, and then followed.

After walking out of the kitchen, Gu Huaidong noticed that the TV in the living room was still on, and immediately told Li Rui, "I'm going to turn off the TV."

The two entered the bedroom.

Li Rui had already taken a shower before, so he went straight to bed.

Gu Huaidong traveled so far, and when he landed in City G wearing too thick clothes, he sweated a little.

"Li Rui, you go to bed first, I'll take a shower first."

Li Rui was worried that Gu Huaidong was too tired, and it was so late now, so he simply stopped him: "Get up in the morning and wash it again."

When Gu Huaidong heard this, he smiled and said, "Then don't dislike my sweaty smell later."

"I don't mind it." Li Rui replied.

After hearing Li Rui's answer, Gu Huaidong immediately took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed.

The two of them huddled together in the same quilt, which was very warm, even a little hot.

According to the customs of G City, all the lights cannot be turned off on New Year's Eve, at least one light must be left until dawn.

So Li Rui turned on the small floor lamp beside the bed before turning off the light.

The orange-yellow light shrouded in the falling darkness, retaining the last warmth.

Gu Huaidong chatted with Li Rui casually, and then began to urge Li Rui to sleep.

"Didn't you say you were sleepy? Let's continue chatting tomorrow. Go to sleep."

Li Rui said "hmm": "Then you should go to bed quickly. I closed my eyes."

"Shut up."

Li Rui slowly closed his eyes.

His face was facing Gu Huaidong's, and his warm breath fell gently on Gu Huaidong's cheek.

Gu Huaidong didn't open his eyes for a while, listening to the breathing in his ears gradually eased and calmed down, the corners of his eyes and brows were softly curved.

After a long time, Gu Huaidong called softly, "Li Rui, are you asleep?"

Li Rui didn't respond at all.

Gu Huaidong listened to Li Rui's unchanging breathing, feeling evil from the edge of his guts, stood up cautiously, and lightly touched Li Rui's cheek with his mouth.

"Li Rui." With boundless joy, Gu Huaidong called twice more in a low voice, "Li Rui."

He hugged Li Rui and giggled silently in the darkness.

"Li Rui." Gu Huaidong kissed Li Rui on the face again.

However, in the next second, Li Rui's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Huaidong's ear.

Li Rui's voice was a little unsteady, not loud but clear.

"Gu Huaidong, have you shouted enough? Didn't you say you're going to sleep?"

Gu Huaidong almost jumped up from the bed and fell off the bed.

"Li Rui, you...you haven't slept yet..."

After Gu Huaidong finished asking the question, he wanted to slap himself.

Isn't this nonsense?

It's over.

Gu Huaidong's heart and eyes were full of the words "it's over".

He felt that he was going to be overwhelmed with joy.

Especially when Li Rui heard Gu Huaidong's question, he probably felt quite speechless and didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Huaidong wanted to find a reason to explain his behavior just now, but felt that he was short of words.

There was silence in the bedroom.

Gu Huaidong thought, Li Rui just scolded him and asked him why he did this.He can still speak his mind logically.

While Gu Huaidong was scratching his head, Li Rui spoke.

Li Rui answered Gu Huaidong's question: "I can't sleep."

The moment he saw Gu Huaidong tonight, how much Li Rui's heart was shaken, only he knows.

Li Rui's mood was both shocking and complicated, and at the same time accompanied by faint joy and excitement.

How could he be able to sleep in this situation.

"...Why can't you fall asleep?" Gu Huaidong asked reflexively.

Li Rui didn't answer Gu Huaidong, but turned to him and asked, "Gu Huaidong, why did you suddenly come to accompany me?"

"I... I'll come here if I want to." Gu Huaidong eagerly searched for words, "Li Rui, I thought yesterday that you would have to pass me alone at night, and I felt uncomfortable."

After getting a head start, the following words will be easier to say.

Gu Huaidong paused, did not hear Li Rui's voice, and continued: "Li Rui, I regretted it the day I went back, and I have been wanting to come back these days."

This time Li Rui responded.

He said "hmm".

This reaction fell into Gu Huaidong's eyes, and Gu Huaidong felt it was too unpredictable.

He couldn't figure out what Li Rui meant by the word "um" which was so plain and emotionless.

Gu Huaidong was about to open his mouth to say something more.

Li Rui asked questions before him.

Li Rui asked: "Gu Huaidong, why did you kiss me?"

When Li Rui asked this question, Gu Huaidong was taken aback for a moment.

He never expected that Li Rui would ask this question so directly.

Li Rui's behavior was in great contrast to his usual personality.

Gu Huaidong suddenly became serious.

He carefully thought about how to answer Li Rui's question.

Li Rui waited quietly.

There was only the breathing of two people in the bedroom.

After a while, Gu Huaidong cleared his throat: "Li Rui, before answering your question, I have a question to ask you."

Gu Huaidong is serious about it.

Li Rui raised his eyes: "What's the problem?" There was a twinkle of curiosity in his eyes.

Gu Huaidong looked very calm, but actually the palms he was holding were already covered with sweat.

He asked Li Rui slowly: "Li Rui, I kiss you, do you hate it?"

As soon as Gu Huaidong finished speaking, the air in the bedroom froze for a second.

Then, Li Rui's face turned red all of a sudden.

Li Rui subconsciously looked away.

Seeing Li Rui's appearance, Gu Huaidong felt a little more confident in his heart.

"Li Rui, don't you hate me kissing you?"

Gu Huaidong changed his method and asked the question again.

Li Rui still didn't answer.

Gu Huaidong saw Li Rui's head lowered a little more.

Gu Huaidong waited for a while, but he didn't hear Li Rui's voice, so he said, "Li Rui, I don't hate you if you do this."

Then he gritted his teeth and continued with a desperate attitude: "Li Rui, I kiss you because I like you."

"Li Rui, I like you." Gu Huaidong repeated his thoughts again, "It's not the kind of liking a brother has for a younger brother. It's not the kind of liking between friends and classmates. Can you understand me when I say this?"

Gu Huaidong looked at Li Rui burningly, his eyes seemed to be burning.

Li Rui lifted his head that was shrunk in front of his chest little by little.

He glanced at Gu Huaidong, then immediately looked away.

Gu Huaidong seemed to be waiting for a trial, feeling extremely nervous.

But he didn't dare to urge Li Rui to answer.

He was worried that his too urgent performance would force Li Rui back into the turtle shell.

Just when Gu Huaidong held his breath, Li Rui finally uttered a simple syllable from his throat.

"Ah."

Gu Huaidong's expression instantly turned into ecstasy.

Li Rui understood.

Li Rui showed no resistance.

Does this mean that Gu Huaidong has a chance?

"Li Rui, are you agreeing to me?" Gu Huaidong asked almost immediately.

Gu Huaidong asked with a silly smile.

Out of the corner of Li Rui's eye, he caught sight of Gu Huaidong's appearance.

Gu Huaidong's question made Li Rui a little embarrassed.

"Gu Huaidong, what did I promise you?"
