77 -77: Like You
Pfft—
Laughter rang out as Tang Chuxia leaned her head against Gu Beihuai’s shoulder.
He stood there stiffly, not knowing how to react.
For the first time, he didn’t want to push her away.
Tang Chuxia’s whisper reached his ears, “I was tricked into coming here by you, remember to take responsibility!”
Before Gu Beihuai could respond, Tang Chuxia moved away from his shoulder and said to him with a smile, “Do you know what Elder Huang meant by ‘harmony of yin and yang’?”
Gu Beihuai just looked at her.
Tang Chuxia pouted in dissatisfaction, “You really don’t like me!”
Gu Beihuai, “What are you trying to say?”
Tang Chuxia looked around and gestured to him with a curl of her finger.
They were sitting in a spot sheltered from the wind, in a corner, and everyone was busy, so indeed no one noticed the two of them.
“Kiss me, if not, I might not have the strength to save someone later!”
Gu Beihuai: …
He didn’t know if Tang Chuxia was talking nonsense or if she was serious, but her complexion really did look poor.
Moreover, a strange emotion welled up from the bottom of his heart that the old Tang Chuxia had never elicited from him.
Tang Chuxia tilted her head and looked at him, “Really not going to do it?
Then I’ll go ask someone else.”
She was just teasing Gu Beihuai.
If a kiss was all that was needed to regain her strength, she would have nibbled Gu Beihuai away already and not waste time talking here.
As she pretended to stand up, Gu Beihuai grabbed her wrist in one swift move, “Dare you!”
Tang Chuxia raised her eyebrows at him, “You won’t do it!”
Gu Beihuai stared deeply into her eyes, then suddenly exhaled as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly leaned in close to her face, his lips almost touching the corner of hers.
A finger was placed between Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai’s lips.
It perfectly prevented the two from coming together.
Tang Chuxia’s eyes curved into a smile, “I’ll put it on the tab!
We’ll settle it when we get back!”
The warm breath mingling between them caused Gu Beihuai to snap back to reality.
As he was about to ask what was going on, he heard a series of heavy coughs behind him.
Turning his head, he saw Wu Haipeng and the leader.
Seizing the opportunity, Tang Chuxia stood up, gave the leaders and Wu Haipeng a sweet smile, “I’ve got to go get busy!
You guys chat!”
Before she left, she didn’t forget to scratch Gu Beihuai’s palm and wink at him as she ran off.
Gu Beihuai: …
The sound of grinding teeth kept coming.
He finally reacted!
He’d been played!
Tang Chuxia had played him again!
Only this time, apart from feeling frustrated, he wasn’t angry.
He didn’t know why that was.
The old leader sat down beside Gu Beihuai, “You young man are quite something!”
Gu Beihuai let out only one sentence, “It’s not what you’re thinking!”
The leader nodded, “Right, right, it’s not as simple as I thought.
No wonder, young man, you’re not interested in those matchmaking sessions, you’ve already got someone in your heart!”
Wu Haipeng looked at Gu Beihuai with a life-questioning gaze, “Brother Huai, were you threatened?”
Gu Beihuai nodded, “How did you know?”
Wu Haipeng let out a burst of air and laughed while patting his chest, “I knew it, if you hadn’t been threatened, how could you be so gentle with Sister Xiaxia!”
Gu Beihuai: …
Gentle?
What kind of joke is this?
The senior leader looked at them both without a word, wishing he could explain to them that among men and women, once there’s a change in behavior, it signifies emotions have developed.
Young people are just so naive.
After drinking a glass of water, they continued to join the efforts in rescuing the disaster-stricken people; this little episode didn’t attract too much of their attention.
After a day of hard work, Tang Chuxia’s capabilities had become legendary.
Fortunately, her face was so covered with grime from the rescue that she wasn’t recognizable, and she wasn’t worried about being identified.
By evening, Tang Jianjun was genuinely concerned about Tang Chuxia’s health and dragged her to rest in a makeshift tent.
But at that moment, Tang Chuxia only said one thing to Tang Jianjun, “Get Gu Beihuai over here!” Then she passed out.
Tang Jianjun was utterly reluctant but still went to fetch Gu Beihuai.
Thankfully, a military doctor had checked on Tang Chuxia and confirmed she had just fainted from exhaustion.
When Gu Beihuai arrived, Tang Jianjun rubbed his face to energize himself.
“She asked for you before she passed out.
What exactly are you two hiding from me?” Tang Jianjun asked, super annoyed, not understanding why Tang Chuxia, exhausted as she was, would still want to see Gu Beihuai!
Gu Beihuai glanced at Tang Chuxia lying on the camp bed and then at Tang Jianjun before shaking his head, “Nothing!”
As if Tang Jianjun would believe him.
No matter how much he pressed, Gu Beihuai didn’t respond to him.
Just then, someone came looking for Tang Jianjun, so he had no choice but to warn Gu Beihuai, “Take care of her for a while.
If I find out you’re hiding anything from me, we’re not finished!”
Tang Jianjun ran out, and only then did Gu Beihuai pull up a stool and sit by the bed, thinking of how Tang Chuxia had mentioned keeping a tab on kisses in the afternoon and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
This woman really was petty, remembering even in her unconscious state.
He took a towel from nearby to wipe the dust off her face.
Only then did he notice her alarmingly pale complexion and the cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
He was startled, urgently grabbing Tang Chuxia’s wrist and placing his fingers on her pulse, which was erratic.
He felt a surge of panic, for the first time not wanting anything bad to happen to Tang Chuxia.
“Tang Chuxia, are you alright?”
He was inclined to call for a medic, but a gut feeling told him he couldn’t, or else Tang Chuxia would hate him forever.
Feeling her fever, he continually wiped her forehead, but Tang Chuxia started to shiver.
Somehow, she grasped Gu Beihuai’s hand.
“Do you really dislike me that much?” A murmur came out of Tang Chuxia’s mouth.
Gu Beihuai was stunned, his attempt to move Tang Chuxia’s hand off his coming to a halt.
“I don’t want you to dislike me!” Another murmur.
Gu Beihuai stared at her, somewhat in a daze.
“I like you!”
Tang Chuxia opened her eyes, filled with a mist and bloodshot, her gaze unfocused.
But upon seeing Gu Beihuai, she smiled.
“I knew it, only in dreams are you this gentle and caring for me!”
She held Gu Beihuai’s face with both hands, bringing herself closer, her lips brushing the corner of his.
“Indeed, very soft!”
She laughed, and just as Gu Beihuai was about to speak, she fell back down.
“Dreaming is wonderful, I should dream about you visiting me more often!”
After she said this, she fell back to sleep, and the sound of her snoring filled the air.
Gu Beihuai stared blankly at Tang Chuxia snoring softly, his finger touching the spot on his lip where she had kissed him, completely bewildered.
Was he just kissed?
He shook his head; that wasn’t the main point.
The main point was, what had Tang Chuxia just said?
She likes him?
Impossible.
Right, right, right, that’s not the main point.
The main point is, how could this woman be so forward with him even in her dreams?
What were they doing in her dreams?
Was it the same as his dreams?
