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

Chapter 156 The Scorching Sun (55 pages)

As Qi Xuan came out of the conference room, he heard employees talking about Qi Jin entering his office.

Thinking of the boy's current situation, Qi Xuan quickened his pace, afraid that Qi Jin might say something that would upset the boy.

Qi Xuan pushed open the office door, but the boy who used to sit in his seat or on the sofa was nowhere to be seen.

A familiar sense of panic washed over me.

Qi Xuan then pushed open the door to the lounge.

The boy wasn't lying in bed; instead, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Qi Xuan didn't care about anything else; he urgently needed to confirm the boy's safety.

Only when he saw that his A Yao was safe and sound could his heart, which was hanging on a tightrope, finally settle down a little.

He opened the bathroom door, and in the steamy air, the boy was curled up in the bathtub, completely naked, with water almost reaching his nostrils.

The boy should have been triggered to fight his survival instincts, but he slept soundly as if under a spell.

Qi Xuan's heart stopped, and he scooped the boy out of the bathtub.

Despite such a large movement, Gu Yao still didn't wake up.

If the boy hadn't been leaning against him, his chest rising and falling steadily, he would have really thought that Gu Yao had been in trouble.

It seems the boy was just asleep.

The time and place where I fell asleep were really not right.

Qi Xuan was afraid that Gu Yao would catch a cold, so he reached out and changed the boy's clothes, then tucked him back into the quilt.

Looking at the empty sleeping pill bottle on the bedside table, I breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the sleeping pills were only taken as needed.

The boy developed a habit of light sleep or even insomnia. Sometimes, when he held the boy to sleep, he would wake up in the middle of the night and always see the boy's gentle yet restrained eyes.

With disbelief and extreme unease.

As a result, Gu Yao's sleep quality is even worse than before.

To help Gu Yao get a good night's sleep, Qi Xuan would occasionally take the boy to the hospital to get sleeping pills.

With his reassurance, the boy gradually changed this not-so-good habit.

Qi Xuan is currently working on helping the boy gradually calm his anxiety.

The boy had probably taken sleeping pills and wanted to sleep.

But why isn't A-Yao in bed?

Instead, it was in the bathroom.

Still completely naked.

Did you suddenly feel like taking a shower?

Qi Xuan frowned, unable to understand, yet he always felt that something was amiss.

Looking at the boy sleeping soundly with half his face buried in the pillow, Qi Xuan looked down at the water stains on his body and sighed softly.

Since I've finished my work this morning, I'll keep A-Yao company while she takes a nap.

Qi Xuan changed into her pajamas, lifted the covers, and lay down.

He reached out and embraced the boy's slender body, brushed the stray hairs from the boy's face, and placed a kiss on the boy's slightly flushed cheek.

Good afternoon, my little prince.

The afternoon sunlight was blocked by the layers of curtains. The young man smiled and slept with his neck intertwined with the boy's.

The sun shines brightly outside the window, and peace and quiet reign in bed.

***

Ever since Gu Yao almost drowned in the bathtub last time, Qi Xuan has wished he could carry Gu Yao in his pocket every day.

He always had to look up at the boy before he could feel at ease while working on his documents.

When attending meetings, the boy should always be seated next to him.

In short, you can't leave his sight.

The others, looking at this well-behaved boy, did offer their opinions.

Since Qi Xuan vouched for Gu Yao's trustworthiness, they had no choice but to believe him.

Moreover, the boy behaved like a typical canary, often staring at Qi Xuan's face the entire time, his gaze so focused that he didn't even want to spare a glance for the PPT on the big screen.

The people giving reports had all changed, but Gu Yao's gaze remained unwavering.

When processing salaries in the office, no matter when Qi Xuan looked up, she would always meet the boy's focused and gentle gaze.

The moment you see him look up, a strong joy bursts forth in his clear brown eyes.

You can see the bottom at a glance.

A direct and intense joy and happiness.

It added even more charm to her already beautiful face.

Qi Xuan would always soften at that look, and would ask the boy to bring his special chair and sit down next to him.

The boy would then always show a smug smile, and then pull up his chair and sit down next to him.

Those burning gazes, so close, seemed to want to pierce right through him.

Qi Xuan always felt that the air conditioning temperature in this office was a bit too high.

City B is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's still so hot and humid.

Quite reasonable, isn't it?

Gu Yao looked at Qi Xuan's bright red ears and smiled, his eyes crinkling.

This is much more fun than games.

No?

At times like this, Qi Xuan always wishes he could bury himself in documents, yet he also inwardly berates himself for his lack of willpower.

How could one bear to look into the boy's expectant eyes?

He was truly blinded by lust.

Sin, sin.

Gu Yao sat down next to Qi Xuan, looking at the contract in front of him and frowning.

He pointed and said, "Brother Xuan, something's not right."

Qi Xuan looked at it carefully and was somewhat surprised to see that even he hadn't noticed this small problem.

Gu Yao, under Qi Xuan's gaze, which was filled with surprise and admiration, raised his hand and touched his nose.

Finding loopholes in contracts and setting traps for others have become habits ingrained in his DNA.

Moreover, based on his original age, he was actually older than Qi Xuan is now.

Now, I've only raised a small issue, and Qi Xuan is already looking at me with that "you're amazing" gaze.

I always have a guilty feeling.

However, Qi Xuan didn't pay too much attention to it. He simply reached out and ruffled the boy's soft hair a couple of times, and then took out two candies from his suit pocket and handed them to Gu Yao.

Then, he lowered his head and continued working.

Gu Yao looked at the candy in his hand, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Should we really treat him like a child and pamper him?

However, he still reached out, unwrapped the candy, and put it in his mouth.

The rich milky aroma spreads between the lips and teeth, with a hint of sweetness.

Gu Yao felt that eating sweet things could indeed make people happy.

Just looking down from the window, the maple leaves that have begun to turn yellow always seem a bit desolate.

It was as if he had completely entered the countdown.

This is one of the few sweet things he can hold onto.

Gu Yao looked at the man who was working diligently, his focused expression on his work.

She's really charming.

I really can't bear to part with it.

Gu Yao chewed the candy in his mouth, reached into his pocket and touched the remaining milk candies, wanting another one.

But after looking at his empty pockets, he thought for a moment and put the candy back in.

Life is too bitter, so we must always leave some sweetness behind.

He felt he had had enough sugar today.
