Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 278 Family and Country in Dire Straits (48)

When Yan Yu met Gu Yao's eyes, she felt as if she had truly seen her husband across mountains and seas.

After months of being out of contact and experiencing agonizing anxiety, he had prepared for the worst.

Now that the person he had been longing for was standing right in front of him, he could hardly believe it.

He opened his mouth, but didn't even dare to step across the threshold. Looking at that familiar figure through the dim light, everything seemed like an illusion.

He feared it was all just a mirage, something that would shatter at the slightest touch.

Gu Yao looked at the person standing blankly in front of the door with some confusion, smiled and waved to him, "Ayu, what are you standing there for? Come in."

It was a familiar voice that caused his eardrums to vibrate, and Yan Yu couldn't help but step forward.

Even if it was just a dream, even if the person in front of him was a demon from a supernatural tale who led people astray, he still wanted to hug his husband again.

He crossed the threshold and ran frantically toward his husband.

Gu Yao stood up and opened her arms to him. Only when the real warmth fell into her embrace did her uneasy heart finally settle down.

The months of worry, anxiety, and letters that disappeared without a trace, each disappointment suffocated him. He really felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, but there was still a glimmer of hope hanging on him, giving him a sliver of longing.

I'm just hoping that the gentleman is alright.

They desperately hoped that they could live to see the dawn.

I have a wish that this time we can grow old together.

In chaotic times, one shouldn't have too many extravagant hopes, but he just couldn't help it.

His yearning for this person had become an addiction he couldn't break, ingrained in his bones and etched into his soul.

Just smelling the calming sandalwood scent made Yan Yu's eyes sting. He sniffed, leaned down, and buried his head in the young man's neck, his voice hoarse as if he were suppressing a sob.

"gentlemen."

Gu Yao was startled by the bear hug. Hearing the slightly tearful voice, he placed his raised hand on Yan Yu's back and gently stroked it, somewhat helplessly, "You're such a grown-up, how can you still cry?"

Although she complained a little, her actions were gentle.

"It's fine."

The young man's gentle voice, accompanied by the light caresses, soothed Yan Yu's restless heart that had been agitated for months.

He wiped away his tears, stood up, turned his head away, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why have you come, sir?"

He didn't want Gu Yao to see his vulnerable side.

Gu Yao didn't answer, his gaze falling on the reddened corners of her eyes, finding them extremely beautiful.

Her upturned fox-like eyes added a touch of vibrancy, blending a cool and aloof demeanor with a hint of allure, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

He would not resist whatever he wanted to do to the person in front of him.

Remembering the main purpose of his visit, Gu Yao smiled, raised his hand to turn the young man's beautiful face, and placed a kiss on his somewhat surprised expression.

Cherish and value it.

Gu Yao clearly saw that the long eyelashes trembled and her breathing became unsteady, indicating nervousness.

But the restless hand remained still on the wrist, without making a move.

They really know how to endure.

Yan Yu only heard Gu Yao sigh softly. Before he could say anything, Gu Yao quietly stepped back.

"I'm hungry, shall we go eat first?"

The topic shifted so quickly that Yan Yu was a little caught off guard.

"what?"

Gu Yao, holding the other's hand, said with a hint of helplessness, "Ayu, I've taken such a long train ride here, and I can't even get a hot meal?"

Gu Yao made a move to leave, his eyes practically screaming "You heartless bastard!"

Helpless, Yan Yu quickly reached out and grabbed Gu Yao's hand, bowing his head to admit his mistake, "Sir, I was wrong. Please have the servants prepare the dishes now, okay?"

The young man's voice trembled slightly at the end, a clear sign of his ingratiating and obsequious nature.

Gu Yao, who had been tense, broke down instantly and flicked Yan Yu's forehead. Yan Yu was startled, but then leaned his head closer.

"Sir, you're still too gentle. If you were really unhappy, how could you hurt me with that kind of force?"

Gu Yao was taken aback, meeting the young man's burning gaze, his eyes filled with longing for him. He blushed slightly under the stare, pushed away the face that was so close to him, and said helplessly, "Don't act cute."

Yan Yu glanced at Gu Yao's slightly red ear tips and smiled gently. He didn't press the matter any further. He straightened up, interlaced his fingers, clenched them tightly, and tilted his head to smile at the young man, saying, "Sir, let's go eat first. You must be tired after traveling for so long."

"After dinner, don't think about anything, just get a good night's sleep."

Gu Yao was taken aback, but the young man had already pushed him forward. He did not refuse Yan Yu's kindness and let him push him forward.

Upon reaching the corner, Yan Yu turned the person around and pointed forward, "Now, head towards the room!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Yan."

"Yes, Yan Yu will always serve you, sir."

That night.

Gu Yao sat in a chair, yawning, next to Yan Yu who was still organizing documents. The miscellaneous book next to him did not arouse Gu Yao's attention at all; on the contrary, it made him feel drowsy.

He's been busy traveling these past few days and he's really tired.

But I still want to see him more.

Gu Yao leaned back and tilted his head to look at Yan Yu.

Yan Yu had just finished packing his things and turned to look at Gu Yao. The orange-toned light softened the sharp features of the young man after he took off his glasses. His relaxed posture combined with a voluptuous appearance, and every move he made was full of charm in Yan Yu's eyes.

It's incredibly alluring.

Yan Yu unconsciously swallowed, looked away with difficulty, and took a deep breath.

The gentleman is so alluring.

Gu Yao was a little confused. He didn't hear the sound of pages turning anymore. He turned to the side and leaned against the back of the chair as if he had no bones. He reached out and hooked his hand on the table.

"Hmm? Is Ayu done?"

The young man's voice was somewhat indistinct, with a tired hoarseness that made Yan Yu's heart tremble. He couldn't help but turn to look at Gu Yao, only to see that Gu Yao's head was about to fall down. Yan Yu's heart stopped in fright. He quickly reached out and pulled the man into his arms, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

Be careful.

The familiar scent of osmanthus made Gu Yao feel a little dazed, as if he were in the palace on an afternoon when he was lying on a rocking chair, looking sleepy. When Bu Shaoluan returned, he picked him up in the same way and helplessly called him to get up for dinner.

He had gotten used to this comforting scent, so he nuzzled against Yan Yu's neck, hooked his arm around the other's neck, and said somewhat cheekily, "A-Luan, let me sleep a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu paused, his hand that was about to scoop up Gu Yao's knees, then smiled and leaned close to the young man's ear, saying gently, "It's alright, I'll have someone keep the palm print warm. Go to sleep."

Gu Yao had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but that gentle voice completely pulled him into a world of tenderness.

He will never wake up again.

Yan Yu's gaze darkened, and he picked the person up and carried them to the bed.

—I suddenly received a notice tonight about the advanced mathematics exam, so I won't have time to update. I have to take a break, my darlings, I'm sorry (_ _)

Just wanted to announce, we're getting married!!!
